@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

硬く甘口お酒。 だがアルコール度数19もあり、冷やで口にすると甘味とアルコールの切れが、衝突し複雑な味わいになるのがある意味面白い。 とは言うもの、冷やと燗は向いておらず 思いっきり冷やすのが良い。ロックで飲む事がオススメ。 もともと濃く深い味わいなので、氷の3欠片程度で全く薄くならなずスムースに。あの衝突が仲良し旨口に変化しとても美味しい。
Sake from Hirohata, Himeji Otten: super sweet and Wakaten: super dry. I opened both, either individually or in a blend!

The ones that are not on the menu. There is a Chiyoda Kura and a Yukihikoyama, both unopened. I decided to go with Chiyoda Kura because I thought I could buy Yukihikoyama at a liquor store in my neighborhood. The taste is moderately sweet and tasty with a summery, crisp, spicy flavor. The impression is that it is quite sharp and clean.

The aroma is modest for a daiginjo❗️. It has a clean taste, but It has a unique sweetness and aroma 😅 I wonder if it tastes like fukunohana❓ I guess it's good to drink as a food sake. It's a raw sake so I'd like to let it sit for a while and see how it tastes. I'm hoping for a change in taste❗️😊.

At the tasting. It was sweet like a rich ripe fruit. It was good, but the one that was for sale seemed to have different specifications (I think it was a direct brew of special junmai?). No purchase.

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.
Kitanohomare K30 Konjun is a junmai sake from Godo Shusei brewed at a factory in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The amount of koji used in the brewing process is 1.5 times larger than usual, resulting in a rich, full aroma and flavor that spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake that will not be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food.

Today we are going out for a drink. This izakaya is a rare izakaya where you can eat a lot of vegetables 😁The sashimi is also reasonably priced with sea bream and swordfish. They sell vegetables, so they have a large selection of vegetable-based soft drinks. They mainly have local Shizuoka sake, but they also have a lot of Omuraya sake from the famous Omuraya brewery, which is famous for Wakatake and Onna no Nyokase 🧐 This is the first time I've had anything from this brewery. Today's sake was Oni Otome. I was in the mood for a sweet sake. The flavor was full and spreading. It is delicious 😋. We had it with sashimi, tempura, and meat rolls!

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.

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.

Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma. It has a light touch with a sharp spiciness behind.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

Chidori Masamune is a Japanese sake from Sanda City! It is packed with umami, and although brewer's alcohol is added, the lingering aftertaste is amazing! Even when heated, the flavor is outstanding, and it is the best of the best!

Sakushu Musashi Kenkou Gekkou Gekkou Gekkou Ultimate Daikarakuchi Genshu This is a local sake from Mimasaka in northeastern Okayama Prefecture, the birthplace of Musashi Miyamoto! As the name implies, it's very dry 😆. Sake degree +28 or higher, this is no joke! It is a very assertive sake, so it goes perfectly with a local dish of Okayama, "boiled yellow chives", which is a habitual dish of Okayama 😋. Onra Yamadanishiki Junmai It seems to be named after an ancient demon from the Kibi region in the southern part of Okayama Prefecture! Kokuwaku 😱. 80% polished Yamadanishiki produced in Kume Minami-cho, Okayama Prefecture. Dry taste Grain taste Slightly old sake aroma Personally, I didn't like it 🥲. Sanzen Yamahai Junmai Omachi Nama-nara Sake This is a sake from Kurashiki. Made with Omachi, the pride of Okayama Prefecture's sake rice. Not fruity, but umami type. It has a classical grain-like taste. The acidity is unique to the Yamahai brewing process. Thick and rich. When we went to Kurashiki, she rented a kimono and we went for a walk 👘.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

This is a memorandum of my visit to "Ikki" in Yokogawa. I came to Yokogawa's "Ikki" for the after-party of a farewell party after a long time 🍶. The first drink was "Sakurafubuki" by Kinko's 🌸. I love "Kamo Kanehide", but "Sakura Fubuki" is also great 🤗.

#Funabori# A bit of a bad look 😅. Homemade sundubu jjigae with a side of homemade sundubu jjigae. We had this one. The sundubu jjigae was I kept the spiciness low so that my family could also enjoy it. I made the best use of the soup stock of shijimi clam. The sake does not have much rice flavor 🤔. Maybe because it is a ginjo sake. It is quite light.
