Very cold today 😨. It's officially the season for hot sake, so I drank some Shinkame 😊. It's so relaxing to sit in the kotatsu and drink hot sake 🥰.

(*^^)ノ🍶🍶🍶🍶 At Sakaishi Daigo (Part 13) I had my first Kamikame 😀 . It's a strong style of sake 😙 It's dry, but you can taste the flavor and it's delicious. I had it cold at the restaurant, but I'd like to have it heated next time😎.

(**) ☆*°🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got a Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire of Akishika🍁🦌 😀. When poured into a cup, it has an amber color that seems to be full of flavor ✨😍but the aroma is mild🤔In the mouth, it has a rich flavor typical of Yamadanishiki🥰 and acidity😊It is well balanced 😚👍. It is a delicious sake that can be drunk slowly at room temperature or warmed up 🥳.

Japanese>English

The first sip is different from what I imagined, it's massive. While tasting the unique flavor. After two or three sips. The clarity of the aftertaste. You can feel the "super dry".

Japanese>English

At home. First time in Osaka. The first ranking Akishika. On the first day, it had a strong alcoholic impression and was quite astringent, but on the second day, it became milder. The aroma is grainy and nutty. When you put it in your mouth, there is a slight alcohol feeling, but it has a clear throat feeling and is easy to drink.

Aroma: Fresh and clean, with a hint of citrus? Sweet and tasty, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste...sharp! Good as a food sake 🍶...but like last time, personally, it is not my favorite sake 🍶I would like to try other specs of Tobiroki...

Japanese>English

Mild ginjo aroma. It is suitable for sipping. It is also suitable as a sake for eating. Of course, it can also be used by itself. It is an all-purpose type.

Japanese>English

Has it been a little while? Tobiroki that was sleeping in the fridge! Opening the bottle♪ Refreshing citrus aroma, strong bitter sweetness and bitterness from the first sip. .... Hmmm! Unlike the sake I had imagined, it is dry? Is this the kind of sake it is? Is it light and dry? I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🍶... Personally, I'm not a fan of it...

It is delicious with sashimi and roughly pounded nameko mushrooms. I enjoyed it with sashimi with great flavor and roughly pounded nameko mushrooms.

Japanese>English

This year's Hiyaoroshi starts here. It's been a while since I've bought a GANKI because of the label, but it's still stable and delicious 😀. The first glass after taking it out of the fridge was too refreshing, but after the second glass, the rice flavor and the elegant sweetness are well balanced, and the food and sake go well together😋. The price was reasonable and I was satisfied with the bottle👍.

Today's beer is also nigori! I started to open the lid to get some of the top clear water at first, but then it started to squirt and agitate. It's like a snow globe! When I drank the stirred sake, it was surprisingly dry. The texture on the tongue is not so much silky as smooth. No, it's smooth. The alcohol content seems to be high,

Jay & Nobby's Tochigi ❤️ Another delicious Tochigi sake on the flight! Ona‼️ This is the first nigori of the season😊. The aroma is subdued ❗️ The taste is like muscat. Silky on the tongue with just the right amount of bitterness Moderate bitterness❗️ The sweetness is also nice and moderate👍

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Mashidaya's special order Ona: ❗️ Fruity aroma and moderate sweetness 😊. The second day, the umami flavor increases and it's good 😄. The bitterness gives it a sharp taste and it goes well with meals too‼️ The Mashidaya collection is all delicious. I recommend it because of its good cost performance👍

I was in Himeji and went to the Tatsuriki store 😊. Daiginjo with a pretty refreshing taste, dry I guess? I haven't had a sake like this lately.

Japanese>English

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we opened a bottle of Shinryu Nishiki that we purchased at the Tatsuriki store in Himeji station😃. The aroma is gorgeous and pear-like 😊The rounded mouthfeel, overall mild acidity and umami 😄Great crispness that disappears quickly 😘I felt it was an easy sake to pair with a meal 🥳. The last picture is of the Japanese garden next to Himeji Castle. It was very beautiful and relaxing 🥰.

Japanese>English

This is my last post of the year😊. Thank you all so much for being with us this year! Please take care of yourselves and let's enjoy another year of good drinks🥰 Now, this sake has an otona taste ✨👠 It's a little dry, with a good combination of flavor and richness, and it's even sexy💖. I wonder if it's the precious rice that makes it so or if the brewer is good at it, it's so good 👏! Next time I come across it again I will definitely buy it 🎵.

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

Japanese>English

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

[Kagataya hanpukai 2021⑧] The last bottle of the 4-month-long hanpukai was a special order of the first Niseko ☺️The rice used was Comet. It was the only one out of the 8 bottles in this hanpukai that was delivered at room temperature. It's the only one out of 8 that was delivered at room temperature. The aroma is gourd-like🥒The alcohol content is 17 degrees, which is a little high, but it feels more like alcohol and has a punchy taste. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing. This is how I completed my hanpukai 😆. I was a little nervous about buying two bottles of sake every month, but the brands were so gorgeous and I'm so glad I joined as a result❗.

Japanese>English

You can enjoy the sweetness and flavor of freshly pressed rice. The accompaniment is Seikishikkake

Comet's clear and delicious taste In a word, it is a "drinkable sake" ^_^.
