The next stop was the Tachibanagura Sake Brewery. The fourth photo shows an accommodation on the premises. The fourth photo shows the accommodation on the premises, which the proprietress says is operated by a different company. I bought a bottle of Mujinzou unfiltered unpasteurized sake brewed with Saku's Hitogokochi. It has a nice aroma and a dry taste. The alcohol content is 17 degrees. But it was easy to drink and delicious.

From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.

Purchased at Yokohama Takashimaya Rice used is Kame-no-o type Koshihikari produced in Kasama City The alcohol is a little strong, but the taste is smooth and not like an unfiltered draft. It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness and is refreshingly clean❣️. There aren't many unfiltered sake that are good all-around food sake, but this one seems to go well with all kinds of food❣️.

Japanese>English

Well, it has a solid rice feeling and no acidity ☺️. I think it's a little light in character, but But I can't help but drink more😋. @Kasama Masuya

[Full specs of Japan's oldest sake brewery 😉 ] Junmai Daiginjo, ice cold aged, unfiltered raw - all my favorite words in a row, a bottle that is impossible to pass up 😁. I didn't know this, but it was founded in 1141 and seems to be the oldest existing sake brewery in Japan... Σ 883 years ago❗❗❗ The alcohol aroma is strong, though the strength is not strong. It is quite dry, and the most impressive thing is the bitterness of the aftertaste. I didn't notice much acidity and it was probably the most bitter sake I've ever had 😳. It is said to be aged for one year, so I honestly wish it had more umami and a sense of maturity with hints of incense, but I learned a lot about it, including its history. Also, it was a very unexpected but good match with sweet and tasty chicken liver stew 😋.

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

I told the owner of Jutoku Sake Sales Office what I liked and he recommended this sake. He said it was fruity and refreshing. It's definitely sweet, but not overpowering. It was my first time to try green, and it was delicious.

Suehiro Shuzo's Genzai. They also won a gold medal at the New Sake Competition for their Genzai daiginjo, but this is not that award-winning sake, but an affordable special junmai. It starts off with a piquant and refreshing sweet and sour taste! The taste is powerful with a strong sense of presence, but the alcohol content of 15 degrees makes it easy to drink and enjoy 👌. We are looking forward to adding this sake to our lineup next year and beyond 😊.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed at Suehiro Shuzo's Kaei warehouse. When I hear the name "Genzai," I think of the daiginjo that was entered in the sake competition. I hesitate to buy it because it is a bit expensive, but this special junmai sake (nama-shu, hi-iru) is reasonably priced and easy to pick up. I am looking forward to the next year, when there will be more varieties of sake. As for the sake, the aroma is like apples. When I drank it, I smelled cemedine😅. The sake is fresh and has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. I thought maybe I don't like cemedine, but I drank more than half of it in no time and regretted it. It is easy to drink. The second day, the cemedine is also good. If this is the case, it's a special pure Cemedine.

Japanese>English

lessening Young grassy aroma. Slight effervescence, about the size of a carefree soda. Sourness accompanied by Sweetness. Bitterness. Something delicious. The historical Kaei warehouse is located in the town of Aizuwakamatsu, and there is a doctoral brewery that started operation in the Heisei period about 10 km away. Genzai is a series of high-end sake produced in small quantities at the Kaei warehouse. But the brewery is making it at the Docter Kura, or something. I'm not sure. Does that mean only special junmai? We went to the Suehiro Shuzo Kaei warehouse. It is wonderful because it is a gold medal winner in the sake competition while functioning as a tourist attraction where tours of the brewery are given every hour.

Drinking outside. Not to be counted on due to drunkenness. This is a brand new to me. The color is dark and you can tell when you taste it. It has an old sake-like aroma, full-bodied rice flavor, and acidity. It was served cold at this restaurant, but I guess it should be served warm.
