The fifth "Masamune Shibari" cup Juichi-Masamune Sakura Yeast Original Sake This is my first time to drink Masamune. The aroma is rich and sweet with brown sugar. On the palate... I knew it. ❗️ It's a little bit sweet, but not too sweet 👍.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown There seem to be several different cup designs. This sake is sweet and spicy, and has a "sake smell" in a good way. There is nothing sharp about it, and it is perfect for an evening drink. ❗️ I don't dislike it. 86th sake in a cup

Japanese>English

It's a hydrangea cup from Juichi Masamune😃I like the Showa feel 🎵.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Hidahomare This sake has a rich, dry taste that is typical of junmai sake. It is smooth on the palate, but the sense of rice spreads immediately, followed by a strong pungent and astringent taste. The aftertaste is also long and powerful. It is a sake that is very drinkable and can be served with strong dishes.

Japanese>English

Hida Takayama, Sake Brewery Nonbei Festival The third restaurant is Hirase Sake Brewery of "Kusudama". This place is a little far from the old streets. You can see the chimney in the back, but the site looks spacious. The store inside is only for sake tasting and sales, so it is only for customers who are looking for sake. Let's take a look at the sake tasting. Well, it has a mild taste and goes down softly and smoothly. It is delicious. It's amazing that it has been in business for 400 years, isn't it?

Juicy and moderately sweet. Even at 17 degrees alcohol, it feels light.

Japanese>English

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir. I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna. I thought it was probably a local luxury sake. It was a very tasty and elegant sake.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

Medium bodied. Smooth and flavorful.

Daiginjo from Higashiyama Shuzo I think I drank Junmai Daiginjo last time. It is a mellow brew with the sweetness and umami of Yamadanishiki.

My wife has a slight taste disorder, but since she couldn't spend time at her parents' house 😊, we treated her to another New Year's meal 🎍. The wine to go with it was "Kyo no Hana" purchased at our favorite liquor store in Kushiro, Sagajo Shoten. I was torn between this and "Tatsusen" brewed by the same brewery, neither of which I had ever tasted before, but I chose this one because of the "fantastic rice" description 😊. Kyo no Hana No.1! There really are a lot of different sake rice varieties available: ‼️ It has a sharpness that is typical of Fukushima sake, but at the same time, it has a moist and gradually delicious flavor 😋.

Japanese>English

Kyo-no-Hana from the sake bag I bought in Fukushima. It is sweet but not too sweet, so it is very tasty. Today I paired it with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), grilled hanpen cheese with mentaiko (cod roe), and ahi jio with nori (dried seaweed), all of which went very well together.

Japanese>English

It is a very tasty, clean and crisp sake. It is a well-balanced and good food sake. It went well with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and ahi jus. ★★★★

Tachibanakura Sake Brewery, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan Kikushu Karukaru Junmai Sake This sake is sold exclusively at local supermarket Tsuruya in Nagano Prefecture! It is a low alcohol (13 degrees Celsius) but tasty Junmai-shu.

Japanese>English

Straightforward junmai that conveys the deliciousness of the grains (´¦). It is the type that swells up when slightly dry and warmed up! It's a warming sake for winter, and this kind of sake makes me happy! It is a sake that I always have on hand. The first saké of the new year is from Hirosaki! It was a store that only stocks the usual Toyobai! The sake for heating up looked delicious!

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Citrusy Latter half is dry, acidic bitter Soft and tasty

The third sake of the sake camp is Koshiji no Koubai. In fact, this is a brand that I have been wondering whether to buy or not every year after tasting it. This time, I did buy it (teehee). The mouthfeel is refreshing. The lingering aftertaste after the umami is pleasant. I really think it is a good sake.

My favorite Shinshu sake. Terreroir terrior from Tsuchiya Sake Brewery, with a hit of Kinmon-nishiki made from the finest rice fields in Saku. It must be delicious! Winter only. When the bottle is opened, it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and muscat!

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

A little bit peculiar. Not easy to drink. I don't dislike the classical taste.
