The first cup of the second night. The concept of "dessert rice wine" is very true. It has an elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets. It is thick and dense, with a distant bitterness. The sharpness is not bad and the outline is clear, so it is easy to drink even though it is quite sweet. It's difficult to make an appetizer with it, but it would go well with dessert. It's perfect with grape jelly👌.

Again, no rice used or major specs. It is a very low alcohol sake at 5%. Oh❗️It's really red! is my first impression. I remember drinking red sake before, but once again I thought rice is amazing. It's hard to recognize this as sake when it's served without saying anything. It's almost like a rosé wine, with a strawberry-like flavor. It's light, but I'm not sure I like the sweetness and mouthfeel. If I were served this sake at midnight, I'd be in a bit of trouble.

The rice used in this is also unknown. A slightly low-alcohol type of Junmai Ginjo So far, this is the most authentic and the driest sake in the HINEMOS range. The mouthfeel is clear, light and refreshing. When you drink it, the umami-sweetness spreads out, and at the end, you can feel the bitterness and spiciness in the throat and nose, and it tightens up quickly. Yes, yes, this is my favorite type 😋. I️ want to spend more time drinking this one.

Dare to say 88% rice polishing ratio. Amber body. The taste of grapes, like a noble rot wine, is a shock to the senses. The aroma spreads softly at the end of the bottle. Experimental and elegant.

Autumn is deepening. This is the time of the year for the unique Nara sake, Okura's Autumn Sake 🍂. The full moon🌕 label made me excited to open the bottle. It has a unique sweetness and richness, but with a rounded, mellow, and gentle taste. It's still delicious. ❤️ Okura is another addictive sake 🍶. I think it is a brand that should not be missed when talking about Nara sake👍.

I bought it and then let it sit for a very long time 🍶. I thought it was strawberry-y ✨ However ‼️ It tastes quite maniacal 😓 lol Mellow, rich, and mature ✨🍶🍶. Sake feeling and rich strawberry feeling 🍓🍓. I enjoy it very much.

Like Minatoya Toisuke, this is another brand of Murasuke that I bought because I liked it after tasting it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. There are many liquor stores that sell Murasuke in Tokyo, but I had never seen this brand before. As its name suggests, it's low in alcohol content at 13%, so it's easy to drink 😚. When you drink it cold, it's light and refreshing, with no hint of bitterness. It's delicious in its own right, but when it's chilled at a cooler temperature, it becomes sweeter and more impressive. I liked it best when it was chilled in the wine cellar at about 15 degrees Celsius 😄. It's interesting to see how it changes with the temperature, but in any case, it's a different direction from the sweet and sour fruity Murasuke. I think it's a fine sake that won't go with any snacks 😋

It's a sake made by Imuraya, the same company that made the Azuki Bar that just went on sale the other day. There is no brand name or registration. It is a pure, unpasteurized sake. It's fruity and sweet, which is the latest trend ☺️. Delicious.

(**)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We got Fukuwagura, a sake made by Imuraya, the company behind Maetin's favorite 💕taiyaki ice cream💕😋. The aroma is faintly peachy 🤔In the mouth, it's fire-aged but fresh 😀 Mature soft umami and round sweetness 🥰 Mild acidity to tighten it up and a slight sweetness lingers 😚 It's a refreshing drink 😊. I feel like it would be good with azuki beans since it is from Imuraya 🥳.

It has a moderate sweetness. It is a refreshing drink. It has a mild aroma. It complements a meal well. The concept of this sake is "the ultimate sake for food. It is a unique brewery that brews Hakurakusei.

Nagano Business Trip Part 2 Today we had another cup of Takaten sake recommended by a local senior 😋. It is a delicious sake with a gentle and delicious flavor that you will never get tired of drinking 😚👍. I had Shinshu Soba for lunch😊I love Soba, so I am very happy to find a Soba restaurant when I walk around here😍I have a medical checkup in early July, so I want to eat Soba and be healthy 🤣.

Recommended by the shop, it is very soft on the palate and leaves a not sweet rice feeling and a faint bitter taste. Nagano's sake is good.

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.

☆☆☆☆☆ 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.
