I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.

It is delicious at room temperature, but the mild sweetness overflows at about 60 degrees. It has a mild sweetness at about 60 degrees Celsius. It has a mild grain-like flavor without the typical alcohol taste. It has a very high level of flavor for hot sake.

(Holy shit!!!🍶🍶🍶🍶 The last day of GW in no time 😭 To close out the holiday, we opened a bottle of our local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😀 It is a recovery sake brewed by Yukawa Sake Brewery 😊WOM gave us the information and we were able to purchase it 🙏. Nice fruit-like aroma typical of Okunoto's Shirakiku😊Elegant sweetness and umami are as delicious as before 😚👍Gentle acidity spreads slowly and disappears with a clean aftertaste✨. It's still the same delicious sake that is typical of Okunoto Shirakiku 🥳.

The bottle was opened with a high pitched jupon💕 The aroma is mild, but the mouthfeel is clean and dry 🤔The sweetness comes out slowly and gently 😊The aftertaste is gentle and acidic 😚👍. The raw sake was a little harsh, but it has matured and become mellow😇Shirakiku is still a delicious sake 🥳.

(((((*´sigh*))))🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got some local Ishikawa white chrysanthemum 😀. We traveled by car to Yamagata and Akita prefectures for the holiday weekend. I just came home and was going to drink the sake I bought, but I had to take a break with the local sake 😙. The aroma is mild 😚 and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the banana and the rice flavor 😘 the gusto and the delicious acidity swells up in your mouth and disappears quickly 🥰. Shirakiku from Okunoto with concentrated umami There is also a delicious local sake 💕

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

I had this drink in my room on a business trip. I paired it with sashimi of fresh local fish I bought at a fresh fish store in the Amico specialty store area in front of Tokushima Station, which brought out the best flavor and disappeared beautifully in the aftertaste. When poured into a glass, it has a soft aroma, and when you take a sip, the flavor fills your mouth just like the name of the wine, "Houjun"! It is described as slightly dry, but it has a gentle taste. It was a good value for money at 1,670 yen for a 4-ounce bottle, tax not included. According to the brewery's website The brewing rice is "Gin-no-sato," which inherits the characteristics of "Yamadanishiki" while improving its cultivation resistance. This beautiful sake was born from the brewery's desire to create delicious sake that is not too difficult for customers to obtain, It is a sake brewery that we want to support. Thank you to L-mnd Tokushima for the recommendation.

Ikema Sake Shop Tasting (1) The last event of the year was a tasting at Legend bouken's favorite liquor store, Icoma. We hadn't seen each other for a while, so we invited him too 😆. Not only did the brewers of Drunken Heart come to the tasting and sell their wines, but they also gave us a lot of tasting bottles for sake stores to drink 😋. Kinshi-Morinori Josen Unfiltered Nama-shu The sake has an alcohol content of 20 %. It has a mellow, sweet and delicious taste, with a strong alcohol taste. The best sake at a reasonable price. ◉Kamikichi Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-genshu Another limited edition from Kinshi-Morinori. It has a slightly nutty, slightly acidic and alcoholic taste. I'm thankful that I don't get a chance to drink Morinori very often. bouken gave us a souvenir (sake) from Nagoya 🙏Thank you 🙇.

Transparent in color Gentle aroma of fresh fruit. Pineapple, apple. Also raw sake-like malted rice. Rich sweetness and a hint of acidity. I drank it at a temperature of about 10℃, but it would be better to lower the temperature. I heated it up. I warmed it to lukewarm, but it was good. It has a gentle sweetness. I think it could be more acidic. It would be more balanced if it were cooled down more.

This brand impressed me at the end of May this year. It was an unfiltered, raw, undiluted summer sake. This time, I will have a dry one. Ooooooooo! The aroma is vinegar-like. It smells like vinegar. When you drink it, the atmosphere reminds you of that excitement. The summer sake was thick, but this one is super light. It is light and fruity. It is delicious! Mr. Okada, the brewer, was at the store. I immediately asked him for his autograph! He was very shy and said, "This is the first time for me to write something like this. I am so happy! I would love to visit the warehouse. I have one more thing on my to-do list to look forward to! Thank you, President Okada!

Hankyu Oasis in the basement of Hankyu Sannomiya Station has a full lineup of Japanese sake, including draft sake, 300ml and cup sake. Surprisingly, it is easy to drink. It has a bitterness at the end, with a hint of gruffness. It's easy to drink and tastes better than most of the sake in cups with alcohol.

Kochi sake swamp. I was getting quite drunk, but this is Okada Izura, also known as Manslayer Izura! This is another light, dry sake with a strong rice flavor. This sake seems to be limited to the Kochi Liquors Club, but it was recommended by the proprietress! The saltiness of Shimanto River's Gori seems to be an endless loop.

Immediately after opening the bottle, it was dry and dry, perhaps due to the 17% alcohol content. Then, after leaving it in the refrigerator for about 5 days due to a business trip, the taste changed drastically! There is almost no aroma, but it has turned into a crisp, sweet and delicious sake. There are not many sakes that have changed in taste like this.

I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again. Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears. The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage! Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced. The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending! The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring. It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!

As soon as the cork is uncorked, a truly refreshing aroma reminiscent of green apples and white grapes emerges. ‼️ It is a bit milder and more reserved than the Kaze no Mori I drank before 😊. The fine bubbles that come at first bounce on the tongue, creating a freshness. After that, elegant sweetness with a white peach sheen and crisp acidity with a sense of minerality spread smoothly along a horizontal line. There is absolutely no cloying taste, and although the clarity is high, the delicious taste of rice lingers firmly at the end of the drink. I could sense the true essence of Kaze no Mori, or rather, the depth that conveys the brewer's thoughts 😊.
