We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 2nd glass Wadarai Dry Junmai This is also a brand I've never had before! Although it is dry, it is surprisingly fruity! It has a clean and crisp taste, so it went in easily.

Yamagata dry is interesting because sweetness also rides on it. After all! Shonai sake rice is different?

2023BY. Yamada Nishiki. Lightly sweet at first. The richness of umami comes from the mid-palate and is combined with a hint of hineyness. The sweetness extends to the back palate.

Unfiltered unpasteurized sake Sake meter meter +15 100% Aso Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 17~18 Acidity 1.4 It is a super dry, unpasteurized sake. Price: 2200 yen including tax Zanshin, meaning "leaving a lingering aftertaste. The aroma is Sun-like. It reminds of melon🍈 in the mouth. The acidity is strong, making it a good mid-meal sake.

The second bottle of Mai-Zakura was sent to me by my brother who lives in Chiba. It is a crisp, dry sake with a very bitter taste and a strong rice flavor.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

Japanese>English

This one, like the Ko-Imari, was purchased when I was with Yoohee-san. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui. It has a melon-like taste and a strong bitter taste like bitter melon. I thought it would be a little sweeter, but it is quite spicy. It is more like melon or cemedine. It is not my favorite type of rice.

Bought directly from the Mukho Sake Brewery... Aroma: Slightly cemedine? As the label on the back says, it's a solid and heavy sake. It is like a local sake, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit of a problem, but...it soaks into your guts...it goes well with strong flavored snacks...smoked hoya and stewed tuna...I enjoy it with a little bit of it....

Japanese>English

This is also a gift from my youngest son... a local Chichibu sake from my hometown of Chichibu, Saitama. I know you may not like it, but...it goes well with Chichibu's hormone...and today's snack was...freshly kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) from Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The third one is Mukho Masamune, next door. Rokkaku-san was also visiting 😅 Fruity, a little sour, but delicious 😋.

I was curious why it says sweet on purpose😅. It's not like the popular fluffy fluty It's a solid sweet sake 👘. So, you know... It was great with light red bean paste sweets, cheese, teriyaki, etc 🎵. Recommended to drink at room temperature or lukewarm, but it was also possible to drink it a little chilled 👍✨.

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 home. The first Yamanashi, the first day. It is the one for the summer. I had it cooled well, but it is refreshing and lightly dry. It is the summer sake which feels easy to drink. If you have it chilled or on the rocks, you will be able to open it immediately.

First Yamanashi sake ❣️ after my debut at Sake no Wa! I got the summer sake from Tang 😋. The label was refreshing and quite soppy😍. The taste is also refreshing 🏝. It tastes like melon🍈? Fruity, smooth, full and light, perfect for this time of the year 😆. This one will be available in no time at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted it, and it's as good as it should be.

It has a faint sweet and sour aroma. It goes down the throat easily. What remains in the mouth is sweetness. And a bitter taste. It's an unusual kind of sake that leaves a sweet taste. But it's delicious. Hokkaido sake is delicious.

The manager is still bringing us the hidden sake! This is also the first time! An extra sake from the Eleventh Province! The sake of the day was all well-polished and high-spec! This one also has a strong sweet and sour taste! Delicious 🤤! The sushi of the day was also very satisfying as it seemed to have been served to us! Forgot to take a picture I was so engrossed in the conversation 🥰. great knowledge about sushi Rice used: Kitashizuku (produced in Shintotsukawa, Hokkaido) Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 17% (undiluted)

Yoshida Kurau - Kijo Sake REMIX IMAYA HANPUKAI SAKE 2024 Co. Yoshi Sake Brewery Sake from Ishikawa Prefecture I can feel the gasiness, the acidity at the beginning, the sweetness, and the bitterness. It's a mellow type of sake because of the sake's assertiveness. It is a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

It has a stable taste. The acidity is not strong, the sweetness is not spitting out, and in a good sense, it does not show the strength of its individuality. It is a sake like "Houken", which is made by adding the elements of good sake to good water. It is a sake that is best suited as a food sake. It is a delicious sake.
