Introducing a izakaya with an austere, connoisseur-like atmosphere. I was interested in this sake because a guide recommended it on a TV program. I was curious about this sake. ‼️ I heard it is very popular sake in Niigata. I didn't know that😅 It has no aroma. ❗️ It has no habit and it's refreshing and easy to drink. It is easy to drink. ❗️ I don't feel the umami and sweetness when it's cold so I'd like to try it heated next time 😊. I would like to drink it heated next time 😊.

A gift from my parents-in-law. The first time I drank it, it was also good❗️ In the basic refreshing, there is also a strong taste of rice, as a medium sake in the meal is very good😆. I enjoyed it with spring bonito and firefly squid. Thank you to my father and mother-in-law😊.

Last of the day. It has been a while since I had this one. It has a medium mouthfeel, with a spicy and umami richness from the mid-palate. It goes on and on until the aftertaste.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO① After receiving a reconnaissance mission from bouken, we first visited Saga Prefecture's Saka Sake Brewery. The brewer was an Italian.

It has a chocolatey taste, but it is well balanced. The alcohol content is 17%. ◯Saka special junmai draft It is also full-bodied and fruity. ◯Mado no Ume Junmai Daiginjo Hananoi It is clear and has a slightly spicy but refreshing aftertaste. ◯Mado no Ume Junmai Ginjo It has a clear acidity and a slightly spicy aftertaste. ◯Mado no Ume Special Junmai According to the brewer, it is suitable for hot sake. It has a strong umami taste and is delicious. It is said that it goes well with soup stock dishes. There are many good brands of Saga sake that we don't know about.

I like it as much as Kubota Manju. Window plum sake brewery. The label has changed now. It is now called Saka Shuzo. Dry and smooth like water. Dry without any peculiarities. Really easy to drink... If you don't like sake, please give it a try ദ്ദി ᷇᷇᷆.

Japanese>English

It is a little bit dry and has a smooth taste. ────. For those who do not like dry sake or those who want to enjoy sake with just a cup of sake. Please enjoy it cooled down to the perfect temperature 🍸*P

This is the limitted bottle of the liquor shop. It was brewed during pre-war time. It's brewed by the Kimoto Method, creating a fruity like muscat and slightly dry taste.

Just pouring this sake into a cup produces bubbles. It has a dry and refreshing taste with a strong aroma of rice.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

Japanese>English

Dry taste that goes well with chicken on the bone. It washes away the oil from the chicken. A quick sip with a cup of sake will reset your palate from the strong flavors of tsukune, kawa, liver, etc., and you will be ready for the next dish. You will be ready for the next dish in a flat state.

Local sake for dinner. You can buy it in supermarkets in Tokyo 🍶.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. Banana-like. Strong smell of alcohol. The palate is mellow, with moderate sweetness and acidity. There is a bitter taste, but it does not linger and is pleasantly sharp.

Japanese>English

The appearance is transparent and pale crystal silver. The nose is gorgeous and full, with hints of pear, banana, and acacia. There is a freshness of green bamboo, lime minerality, mushroom and chestnut aroma, and sour cream fermentation. The first impression on the palate is rather strong, with plump sweetness, round and firm acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. The aftertaste is rather long.

Iwao Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo Nama Sake [Gunma Prefecture Takai]. Sharp melon sensation with a hint of sweetness. Lingering bitterness. Flashy and flamboyant. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 17 to 18 degrees Celsius Water used for brewing: Ayukawa subsoil water

Japanese>English

It is a light nigori 26BY of Iwo 🍶. First, cold sake. The top aroma is that of old chests 😂. In the mouth it has a hint of sweetness, but the aroma of old chests is strong😅. Next, warmed sake 🍶. When warmed, it smells like wet wood 😌. In the mouth it tastes a little acidic and the taste wasn't bad. Like the Chiyomusubi I had two drinks ago, nigori-style sake is said to be unsuitable for aging because the nigori part of the sake is altered and causes off-flavors. So well, it was interesting to experience that firsthand 😂✨️

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste. The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries. Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years. Founded in 1902 It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Japanese>English

Yesterday's spoils. Slightly acidic and full-bodied. The flavor overlaps with the umami and extends smoothly.

Japanese>English

Umami and acidity enter gently. It stays moist until the mid-palate and settles down with a slippery, clear finish.

I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir. I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna. I thought it was probably a local luxury sake. It was a very tasty and elegant sake.
