The corn we bought the day before at Midori-no-ochi in Sanada, Ueda city, is delicious boiled and also good as tempura 😋! I'll have it with hanpukai sake 🎵 #PremiumAjirai #Kikumori #Shinshu secret sake hanpukai gold course 2025

Japanese>English

Hanpukai Sake The label says Kiku-zakari, the sakenowa says Tokikumori. I believe the label. Last year it had a classic impression, but this year it feels modern fruity. Maybe it was my physical condition, but it was different from my image. I enjoyed it very much. I drank it while playing mahjong and got very drunk. Double soup with pork and beef bones? Is it basically pork? It was thick and tasty. It went well with thin noodles.

It is a light amber Junmai-shu brewed with the fantastic sake rice "Kinmon Nishiki". The aroma is cemedine...sweet and bitter with a hint of bitterness! It's dry, so it goes well with thickly seasoned food. For beginners, it is not recommended...? I've been drinking it with bonito sashimi with silver skin...

Japanese>English

This is my first brand. I didn't expect much, but it was delicious and a pleasant miscalculation. The acidity is delicious. It is easy to drink. It is like a summer sake. It has a long aftertaste. It was a hit.

Japanese>English

Zankuro Junmai 61 Nama Sake Rating 4.4 Rice: Miyamanishiki grown with reduced use of agricultural chemicals, Polishing ratio: 61%, Alcohol: 16.5°, Yeast: No.11 A mid-meal sake characterized by the refreshing malic acidity of No.11 yeast and the sharp sharpness of its large dry mouthfeel. Dry and sharp. The fresh yet soft umami that can only be achieved with nama-shu spreads out.

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just came back from a trip today and had a glass of Yumezou, a local sake 😀. It's full of flavor and a little dry 😊It has a nice crisp aftertaste and a nice sharp taste 😚. It's also good to drink the sake you bought on your trip while thinking about which one to drink first 🚗🥳.

˙˚ 𓆩 (*´▽`*) ✿𓆪 ˚˙ 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got a cup of Miyamoto Sake Brewery's Yume Sake 😀. It's my first time to try Miyamoto Sake Brewery's sake ✨. It's a strong style sake with lots of flavor 😚 It was a delicious cup 🥳.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Pale gold color, but without much sense of maturity. Slightly light, with strong acidity. It is rather sweet. It has a sharp, clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it. The umami flavor also comes through with a zing, making it a deeply flavored sake. The 87th cup of sake

Next is Tamahagane. What a cool name! I'm attracted to names like that. Kamitachika has a robust sake feel. The mouthfeel It has a dense sweetness and umami, and a slow-moving sensation. The aftertaste is a bit of alcohol, and despite the heaviness of the initial attack, it finishes with a nice acidity and bitterness. I am not so good at Honjozo, but this was delicious! Thank you!

Sake-no-wa Kobe Year-End Party 10 Mama-san forgot to serve the sake! The sake that came out somewhat toward the end of the party! I thought it was a sake I didn't know, but it was from the Seven Crown Horse Brewery! A faint and elegant ginjo aroma The taste is clean and refreshing. Fruity in the first half but quite spicy in the second half I think some people were drinking this heated 😁. I haven't had it heated myself, but it's not a modern type of daiginjo, so I think it would go well heated 🤔.

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Japanese>English

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.

Sake Tasting Gacha at Sasaki Sake Brewery This is another sake limited to the brewery. It was sold in a refrigerator, but I'm not sure if it was fresh sake or not. Gorgeous and fruity. Dry but delicious. 4gou 5500 yen 😱. Most of the high-end sake was made with 1801 yeast.

Salmon Monogatari in Kansai(´・ω・`) Red is the color of the bottle. It has a moderate ripeness, and the more you chew it, the deeper the flavor becomes. The more you bite into it, the deeper the flavor becomes. It makes you want to have something to eat. It is the type of sake you want to drink slowly, so it may not be suitable for events.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

For some reason it was on special sale at a local supermarket😅. Junmai Ginjo, 60% polished rice ratio, under 1000 yen without tax... too good deal... I'll take it at room temperature 🍶. It's too good to be true! It's very rich! Rice swelling is very nice 🙆 The lingering aftertaste that gently fades away 😄 Even with strong dishes, it doesn't lose at all. Eggplant dengaku looks good 🍆.
