A souvenir from a business trip to Hagi. It was a nice sake. I want to drink it again.

At Hankyu Department Store I had a chance to drink all kinds of sake. The nigori was also delicious. They also gave us a 1:1 blend of nigori and junmai. It was also delicious. The one that caught my attention was the Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)", Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)". It's black and white, so I guess it's 🐼😁. It is said that lactic acid is not used in the yeast stocking but is substituted with citric acid produced from white and black malted rice and fermented slowly at low temperature. It is refreshing and light to drink. Pleasant acidity and a clean aftertaste, but it was a bit unusual.

interpoint (interword separation) Chose Inamuraya, which I haven't had yet 😚. Delicious ❗️ But... I compared it to another Inamuraya💦. Sourness? Maybe it had a spikiness to it😅. They made a reservation for lunch at a fancy restaurant for our arrival time *. (๓͈ ˘ `͈๓). * You are indeed a gourmet 👏😊💕. It was delicious!

Aomori Sake Inamuraya I used to drink outside. Special Junmai was done. There are not many check-ins for this sake. It's a sake from Aomori, so... This time, we've been taking our time with the fruity sakes we've been enjoying lately, and this one is freshly brewed and dry. It's a bit of a quirk, but it's very crisp and clean. I don't heat sake. I don't warm sake, but I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It's also good when it's settled down. It's also good when it's settled down.

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.

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.

( -̀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 🥰.

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 🎵.

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?

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.

I've been to the Iwao brewery, or rather to the company, and I fell in love with the Showa-esque atmosphere of the place. Wai no Yao. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230410

The strength of aged sake and smooth mouthfeel. The more you drink it, the sweeter it gets as the days go by. Junmai Daiginjo made from 30% polished Yamada Nishiki. It is a blend of 30% polished Yamadanishiki and more than 5 years old Nakadori. It is indeed the best of Gikyo.

A long-matured sake from 2005. It has a mild taste of rice and A rich, full-bodied sake with plenty of aftertaste. This is a brewery that has a family history of aged sake.

It has the mellow taste of chivalry. It has a light taste that is not chivalrous. The alcohol content is more than 13 degrees and less than 14 degrees. Even so, it is smooth to drink. It is made from special Yamada Nishiki at 60% polishing ratio.

Fluffy
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 👍✨.

This is delicious! This sake has a fukuyoka (frizziness) of rice and a robust flavor, just like junmai (pure rice).

The traditional technique of "Nama-moto" brewing, which utilizes the power of nature. It has a powerful yet fruity taste with a gentle sweetness of rice. Purchased at Sake-no-Yamaya Karasuma Oike store.

I usually prefer fruity sake, so it is not a brand I often get, but I happened to have a chance to try it. I had heard that most Hiroshima sake is sweet, but this one is basically dry in all specifications. The aroma of the opened bottle was pleasant, probably because it was a draft sake. As the +10 number indicates, there is no sweetness, but perhaps because of the aroma, there is no harshness from the alcohol. It is a nice sake that is refreshing and somewhat fruity. It is said to go well with sushi and sashimi, and it certainly does.
