Smell reminiscent of lactic acid, bananas, wind forest. Light golden color, sticky liquid, sour and sugary sweet, hard water, a bit banana-y, pungent. The aftertaste is sweet and tingly, reminiscent of canned fruit syrup. As you get used to drinking it, you can taste the bitterness. Outweighs the sweetness of the roll cake. After eating the roll cake, you feel the sourness and this is delicious. I want to drink it thick and sweet and sip it little by little. If you add ice, you get sourness and bitterness. When it is warmed up, the strong sweetness is drawn out and changes to a gentle taste, and after the slight sweetness and sourness, it seems to seep in. It is delicious. I couldn't finish my drink.

The first challenge for the first Bodai yeast sake is the sake from Nara, the birthplace of Bodai yeast 🕺🏻. Takacho 🦅❗️ from Aburicho Sake Brewery, well known for Kaze no Mori 🕺🏻. I got this one because it's only available in April! The label is so cool 👍! I thought it might be a bit peculiar since it's made from the Muromachi period, but it's not as sour as I thought it would be, and it's full-bodied and tasty while also giving off a unique flavor😳. I was expecting it to be a bit peculiar, but it was not as acidic as I thought it would be, and it was delicious with a unique flavor and richness 😳. It is rated -34 on the sake scale, but it is not too sweet and can be drunk easily 😋. Different from Kaze no Mori, this one was delicious too! I think I'll try another Bodai Hashimoto Sake 😋!

Since I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake. The aroma is faintly muscat-like. The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle. The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense! The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.

Takagaki Junmai Sake The "Takagaki Junmai-shu" we were served this time had an appealing "gentle richness" that you could feel the moment you took a sip. The initial impression was mellow, with a full-bodied rice flavor that gradually spread across the palate. The taste is neither too heavy nor too light, but has an exquisite balance with the depth and calmness typical of junmai sake. The more you drink, the more the rich umami of the rice can be felt, and the more you drink, the gentler and more reassuring the finish is. It was the type of junmai sake that is easy to pair with meals, and the longer you savor it, the more delicious it becomes 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

Sake made by students? The ginjo aroma is beautiful. I'm sorry for my prejudice. The taste of rice is powerful, juicy acidity Kirei (sharpness) with a good aftertaste Wonderful!

The syrup is thick and sweet. After a short pause, it has a strong mirin-like flavor, It also has a green flavor like kiwi. The pork feet boiled in a strong flavored broth went well with it. Sake from Wakayama is said to be very robust. Degree of liking ☆3/5

the rice is falling like a snowstorm Sweet like an apple. The taste is round, sweet, and beautiful. There is a bit of bitterness towards the end, but it is delicious. It is not that sweet, but the lingering taste in the mouth and nose is quite fruity. A little bit of pineapple. I would like to try a variety of Toirai, but Fujiidera is a little far away from here, so I wish there would be more distributors of Toirai. According to what I heard at the liquor store, they don't seem to be actively trying to increase the number of distributors... On the third day, it seems to have a stronger pineapple taste.

The fourth cup was "Asakayousei"! I was curious about this one, as I have only seen Shiga sake such as "Shichibonjari" and "Shoki Shoki". The aroma is apple-like. The mouthfeel is fresh, with a gaseous and hinted aroma that reminds me of a tank! The sweet and sour taste of green apple and the overflowing flavor is addictive ✨.

Buy at the warehouse 1411 yen / 720ml The brewery is located in Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture, familiar from the morning drama "Amachan". I was in a hurry and made the painful mistake of forgetting to take a picture of the brewery. Please forgive me with a monument of "Jeez, Jeez" instead. I thought it tasted fresh when I opened the bottle, but it was an aged type with a little bit of a habit. I drank it chilled the first day, so I tried it hot on the second day, and it transformed into a mellow taste and was easy to drink.

Japanese>English

I received a drinking set from a colleague. When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind, But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone. It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".
