Drinking outside after work. My wife was off work and we decided to have dinner outside. We found this restaurant in the vicinity of Nara Station - ‼️ We couldn't find a good time to drink at Toyoshuku, so we went to this restaurant and had a glass of Nara's local sake, Shirotoroku (‼️). The aroma was gorgeous, the taste was smooth and sweet on the palate, and the finish was refreshing.

Returned from Hokkaido and bought it at the supermarket in the neighborhood. After a long time. It is calm😊.

Seisen has a traditional flavor when it is fire-aged...but the raw sake is delicious 🍶...sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate, but not bitter enough to be bothersome. Jungin sake brewed with 100% Chiba's sake brewing rice "So no Mai"... I am enjoying it with "Vinegared Myouga" and "Salted Marlin" from Chiba... a delicious marriage...

Japanese>English

Elegant rice aroma...sweet on the palate! The taste of rich Omachi and the lingering acidity are good... You can enjoy it without any snacks! Chiba's local sake is delicious!

Japanese>English

It is the best way to have a good time with your friends and family... The scent of the ginjo is refreshing... When you pour it into the cup, it is amber in color... The sour taste in the mouth is very strong and the bitter aftertaste is also very characteristic of the local brew, so you can enjoy it with the whale sauce, a specialty of Boso, as a snack. That's the way it is.

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

It has a very smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing sweetness, and comes in like delicious water. The delicious taste of rice spreads in the mouth, and a refreshing aroma escapes from the nose. Just the right amount of dryness You can enjoy the change of taste in your mouth.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑰. Rikyubai] booth in Osaka. Rikyubai Katanogahara Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-nara Sake. It is quite rich, sweet and delicious. Personally, I like it. Rikyubai Summer Ginjo Junmai Ginjo Namaishu I think it was light and refreshing, just like summer sake. Yes, it's almost time to forget about it.

The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

Japanese>English

I opened a bottle of "Hokuto Zuisho", a souvenir from my recent business trip to Hokkaido, which I purchased at a liquor store in Kitami called "Mayanagi Sake Shop"! My business trip was via Sapporo, Obihiro, Kushiro, Nemuro, Abashiri, and Kitami (Memanbetsu Airport) on my way home. Naturally, I went to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) on the way, but I decided to limit myself to sake from Hokkaido, so I had a bottle of Nemuro's "Kita no Katsu Shiboritate" in Kushiro. I asked for a recommendation for sake from Hokkaido and was recommended "Kaminokawa Taisetsu". However, I had drunk it some time ago, and after much deliberation, I chose "Hokuto Zuisho," which I had never heard of, and it turned out to be the right choice. It is a beautiful, well-balanced sake with a slightly sweet, fragrant, and crisp taste. It is made from Hokkaido rice, with a rice polishing ratio of 45% and an alcohol content of 16%. Delicious!

The brewery is made by a select few, including the toji and one other brewer. The Toji and one other person are the elite few who make this wine, The number of shipments is very small, making it a valuable product. It is perfect as a food sake. It can also be matured and enjoyed as such.

Japanese>English

This sake was officially released on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. It is brewed using 100% Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Niigata Prefecture. The aroma, taste, and label design are as stylish as wine. I had it with cheese and loved the sweetness that spread in my mouth. I love it 😉 . It is indeed a sake chosen by Mr. B who has good taste!

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.

It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

Japanese>English

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.
