At Ya-Ya in Kobe. This is the first time to drink Neko Masamune since it was transferred from the defunct Omi Sake Brewery to Maihime🐱. It has a sweet taste with a slight graininess from the freshness. It tastes a little messy, but it's not that bad, right? Might prefer it to Omi Neko Masamune 🤔. It's quite fruity and has a pungent and alu taste, but maybe it's good? It's sweeter the longer it's been open.

I was curious about Ishizuchi's Princess, but I saw this one and bought it. It is sweet and sour. This sweet and sour makes me imagine the first love of a certain princess who has feelings for his person in New York....

The sake content is around +12. As the name "super dry" suggests. As the name implies, it's like water that cuts cleanly. However, it has a faint ginjo aroma and It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a subdued rice flavor. It complements the meal.

Japanese>English

No longer slightly carbonated! It has a full, rice-like sweetness, probably due to the 60% rice polishing ratio. However, as I drank it, I felt it was an elegant sweetness. In addition, the acidity is refreshing. At 9% alcohol by volume for an unpasteurized sake, it's surprisingly low! You can drink as much as you like.

Japanese>English

Very clean and clear, with a Elegant aftertaste🌟. The sweetness of Miyamanishiki is slightly🌾 It is hot and humid everyday. It makes me feel more appetite. Miyamanishiki rice from Nagano prefecture Polishing ratio: 50%.

I bought it at Tsunoka Shoten, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. The nearest stations are Keihan Sumizome Station, Keihan Fujimori Station, or JR Fujimori Station. The brands available include Miyakotsuru, Tamagawa, Yaetsuru, Shirakikyu, Kumi no Ura, Jinzo, Yosamusume, Haginoroh, Roppo (from Kirakucho's brewery), Wakabisu, Joyo, Honohana (from Wakamiya Shuzo), and sake from the Meimon Sake Association. In addition, there were a few PB-like products that were only available at sake dealers' associations and unions. They were sake made by Eikun and Tsuki no Katsura. There were two kinds of sake, both fruity, so I chose 1801. It was not very fragrant for an aromatic yeast, but it was voluptuous and sweet. It was a bit similar to the Yatagarasu I drank before. I wonder if it tastes like this when you make a sweet sake with Koshihikari. It tastes a little cloying and messy...

Japanese>English

Yosamusume Shuzo is a sake brewery that has only had a summer-only sake called "Sono Higurashi Nigori Shu" in the past. This time it was the most expensive sake, "Yosamusume Junmai Daiginjo Gohyakumangoku 40% polished. It is tasty and refreshing. It is considered to be reasonable in its price range.

Japanese>English

Special Honjozo brewed with Kyoto brand rice, Kyo no Shine. I was a bit scared of the -10 sake level, but the balance of the alcoholic beverage is well expressed 😋. It's 19 degrees, a solid sake but easy to drink. I can't stop drinking it.

It is quite thick, and you can feel the thickening even when you put it in your mouth. What I thought was a little unusual about this sake was that it was a daiginjo with this thickening. I am inexperienced and this is the first time I have had this kind of sake. I like this kind of sake. It's good.

Tenma Daijukai (¡°Tenma Sake Association¡±) This sake is named after Governor Yoshimura And an illustration of a mysterious person on the label Where is Governor Yoshimura? Where? It's a very typical mature, slightly dry junmai sake, and it's good warmed up. It's the type of sake I'd like to drink on a regular basis, but it's more of a souvenir. I misunderstood. I'd like to buy it if it were available!

Japanese>English

Tenma Taishukai 2024 ④ The day before, I tasted Sakakamatsu from this brewery at a liquor store in Ikuno Ward. He asked me if I was going to the Tenma Sake Festival. I've been to this brewery and bought sake before. I think it was a brewery in Osaka, but closer to Wakayama and near a fishing port. I drank Junmai Ginjo Natsusei Nemuchi-san confirmed with the brewery that it was the same Sakakamatsu Natsusei that I drank the day before. Hmmm? When I drank it the day before, I had the impression that it was a summer sake with good flavor and drinkability, but something is different... Is it the temperature range? It seems too thin or too light 🤔. Summer Ginjo This is also a summer sake. Similar to Junmai Ginjo, but this one is spicier.

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.

Mellow, refreshing, delicious 🍶. Super oicy ❕. I enjoy it very much.

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 😋!

Sei Masamune Omatsuri carp Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Shu ORIGARUMI 720ml Rice: 90% Hitogokochi (from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture), 10% Morimorimochi (from Obuse Town, Nagano Prefecture) Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 14%. Sake as exciting as a festival or something 😀. Indeed, I'm looking forward to the fact that every time I drink sake here these days, I have to try it to see the various flavors 😋. Open the bottle with a light shupo. Pour it into a bowl. The acidity of the lactic acid and the chirichiri-ness of the garnish make it feel like a summer sake, right? Calpis soda for adults, not sweet. Let's have a little more on the rocks when you get home! 🔸P.S., Day 2 It didn't have as much schwarziness as the calpis soda (...;) It was a taste change to a delicious drink that you can take your time with...

Tonight, I'm back at work after GW, but naturally I'm not very excited 🥴. This one is brewed with Dewa Sanzu and Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The aroma is mild without being showy. It is a versatile sake with a soft sweetness and acidity of cucumber and herbs and a clean aftertaste that is also very sake-like 😊. It is as delicious as the rumors say 😋😋😋😋😋.

Tonight, here is a very popular project sake from Yamagata 💁. La Jomon Shoumon Koji Triple Masamune Nama Sake 2023BY✨. I think it is safe to say that this is the second most popular sake after Jyushidai. I think it is. Well, it's hard to buy and sells out quickly 😫 Now, this is the first Koji Sanbai Masozo-shu Nama-shu in my house. As you know, the specs are as perverted as you can imagine 🤣 it is made with Dewanosato x 66% koji ratio x 66% milled rice ratio x Kyokai No.6 yeast 🤣. The taste is very pleasant with the strong acidity of triple the koji, and it is easy to drink. It is not white koji, but it reminds me of a certain cat sake 😺.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this one to accompany my dinner of kochi and kampachi sashimi and squid cod roe 💁. La Jomon Six Nama Sake 2023BY✨ We happened to have a lot of Six Nama Sake on hand, so we'll have a quick bottle. When I poured a glass of chilled sake, it had the usual mild uri aroma, a beautiful acidity, a little sweetness and citrusy flavor like Pocari, and the second half was a mix of astringent, bitter, and spicy flavors. It can be served alone or as a mealtime drink. I'm going to try the "Murasame" that some of the connoisseurs in the area are trying later 🙌

There are only two sake rice study groups left. I've been posting them chippy-chippy, so my notes and my memory are no longer connected. But there is no doubt that they were delicious. The ninth bottle was Kami no Ho from Mie Prefecture. The first bottle was a Saku no Kami no Hoho, which got me hooked on sake rice, but it tasted completely different. The aroma is banana, I guess. It has a slightly sweet taste with a refreshing dryness from the microbubbles. It goes on and on... a never-ending type of sake. The next post should be the last in this study of sake rice.

Special Junmai Nigori Nama-zake🍶Kami-no-ho🌾 from Mie Prefecture. Seme smell, fresh✨, a little schwag. Sour and spicy. Mustardy 🙄 according to my wife. When paired with the koji-marinated squid (🦑), it takes the edge off and cozies up to you. The power of koji is amazing 😆. Looks like a new brand to be born in spring 2023. Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230503

☆☆☆☆☆ It has sourness and a little bit of miscellaneous taste or bitterness, then comes the sweetness or umami of nigori. It has a bitter, youthful taste that goes well with spring wild vegetables. The sweetness that comes afterwards is also youthful.
