Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA⑯ The booth of "KOSHIJI FUKIYUKI". The brewery uses brewing water from the Shinano River system and its own original yeast. Koshiji Fukiyuki Junmai 70 An orthodox junmai with firm acidity. The acidity and tangy aftertaste may not be to your liking. Koshiji Fukiyuki Daiginjo 50 Light, with sharp acidity and spiciness. It has a tangy aftertaste. Koshiji Fukiyuki Hiyahi Oroshi Junmai Ginjo The taste is sharp and light with a strong umami flavor. The sake was very sharp and more than a little light.

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA15 After the Nohtaka booth, I knew I had to eat something, so I went to the basement and bought some yakitori (grilled chicken) 🐣. There was a corner of rice balls made from Niigata's new rice in the Sake-no-jin, and I was quite tempted to try them, but I was determined not to eat carbohydrates... so I held back. It was my first time to visit the Takano Sake Brewery. I think I've seen the sake itself somewhere, but I've never had it 🤔. I wonder if they took the name from Fubuki Koshiji or if the sake came first? I drank Koshiji Fukiyuki Junmai 70 Clear and tasty... Koshiji Fukiyuki Daiginjo 50 Hmmm, subtle Koshijifuki Aki-agari Junmai Ginjo Slightly ripe, but not too assertive, so it's good for mid-meal 🤔. I wanted to ask about the origin of the brand name, but I didn't feel like I could since they were dealing with another brewery that wasn't seated, so I left 💦.

@sakebar Fukuzo This is the last sake I drank at Fukuzo 🍶. For those of you who think "how much have you had to drink? I think so too😅. The first aroma is sweet with classic acidity. It has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a hint of acidity on the palate. It's also a great costumed honjozo that doesn't make you feel like it's been soaked in alcohol 😋. It was delicious 🍶✨. Thank you for everything, landlady 🙇🙇🙇.

Tonight is fruit drinking. p Grapes are Kyoho and Honey Venus. The plums are Kiyo. The apples are Granny Smith. I think this sake is however classy, well-balanced and delicious.

Dare to say 88% rice polishing ratio. Amber body. The taste of grapes, like a noble rot wine, is a shock to the senses. The aroma spreads softly at the end of the bottle. Experimental and elegant.

We went on a bullet trip to a hot spring in Gunma 😆♨️ Before arriving at the ryokan, we went to a local liquor store. I decided to buy some Gunma sake at a local liquor store before we arrived at the ryokan! I was so excited, I visited Takahashi Yo Shoten for the first time, which I sometimes order from Corona Disaster! I visited Takahashi Yoh Shoten for the first time! I found a bottle of sake that I had ordered before and was very impressed. The Gan brewed by Mikito Takai, who is no longer with the company, was really delicious, so I chose the New Gan with the feeling that I would like to try it too. I was surprised to find that it was brewed by Mikito Takai! And it's still delicious 😭✨ It was great slightly chilled, but also great warmed 👍. Not spectacular, but deeply delicious... And it's so cosy! I brought home the rest of the bottle. I'm going to drink it with care 🍶🎶.

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

This sake was tasted along with the Junmai Ginjo I posted earlier. We were there when the store opened on the first day of tasting and sales, so all the sakes were unsealed, so we were able to sample them in fresh condition. I recommend going on Wednesday when the store opens 😆. It is Rokumaru with 60% rice polishing ratio. It is the same as Shinomine. It has more richness and umami than Junmai Ginjo. It is suitable for warming up.

Japanese>English

A little bitterness on the nose and bitterness on the tongue. It tastes a bit like old-fashioned sake. However, it goes well with boiled fish. It is like a flavorful addition to fish. It would have been nice to have some local fish, but since we were drinking at home...

Junmai-shu made from "Strong" sake rice, a sake rice produced only in Tottori Prefecture, with a milling ratio of 75%. Tottori's fantastic revived rice "Strong" is made into sake in the traditional way of sake brewing, utilizing the power of nature. It has a beautiful acidity and warms up when heated.

Sake that was on pre-order at Yamacho Sake Shop This is Sake made with "Hyakudas" 🍶. Immediately after opening the package, the aroma was hard to detect. But 4 days later, I tried it. The aroma in the glass was sweet and nice... When you put it in your mouth Gentle sweetness of rice and the soup base of overflowing umami flavor. A veil of soft and gentle acidity with a hint of bitterness. The acidity can be felt only in the throat, Easy to drink 😋. The acidity is not strong, but it is felt every time you finish the drink, It resets and does not leave you with a sweet taste, It is also good as a food wine 😆. The blissful aftertaste from the nostrils is not so long, Not so long, Sweet aroma with a touch of freshness. This is delicious 😋. Very nice 😊. It's going to be empty in no time 😅💦. This was a sake 🍶 I'm looking forward to more of this 🍶... Thanks for the treat 😋😋.

Plum-like aroma. Smooth texture. Mellow, ripe sweetness like prunes and plums. Condensed and voluptuous. No acidity comes forward, but sweetness and a hint of bitterness. My friend and I also compared Yamadanishiki, This one is denser and has a ripe, fruity aroma. Preference ☆ 3.5/5

I participated in the Tohoku Future Art Fireworks held last weekend. We invited our niece to join us and let her wear a yukata for the first time, and above all, the high school students who accompanied us were so nice to us! This was the third time for this event, and this time the weather was perfect, with a moderate sea breeze blowing the smoke away. Music and fireworks together. You can watch it on YouTube, but you can only experience the power of the 50 minutes of nonstop fireworks only there. As a souvenir, we pick up some fireworks fragments, which are said to be good luck charms, and offer them to the altar of the gods. After pondering what to drink on Sake Day, I decided to go with an orthodox junmai sake, Akita's Ryu-bojing. I did not feel much of the fragrance of the sake. The mouthfeel was as rich and umami as if it had a thicker flavor. It is as rich and delicious as the first sip, and has a satisfying strength. It is not cloying, but the sharpness is also quite sharp, and you can't help but want another glass! It was a delicious sake that you should be careful not to drink too much of. My niece's yukata, fireworks, and sake It was the best! Thank you for the feast!

(**Oh, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!) 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo (No.18) We had the all-you-can-drink course and had the Shiga Daijiro 😀 I don't remember much, but I think it was like an old-fashioned sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

It has a very rich, ripe, sweet, thick, full-bodied taste (¡Ω). And yet it is not cloying. It's the kind of warmed sake I like to drink when it's cold. I'd like to make this a staple in my house because it hits my favorite part of heating sake.

Japanese>English

The sake from the west, I thought it would be strong and angular, but it had a mellowness similar to the sake from the east, especially on the second day, and the sweetness was great. It was a small sake brewery according to Google, but it was very good with careful sake.
