This was the third bottle we drank on New Year's Day. We saved the Hakurakusei we had brought for another time and opened a bottle of Okutanba provided by my sister and her husband, as we did last year. It is dry but slightly fruity and easy to drink. It goes well with strong flavored dishes. Thank you very much.

Japanese>English

It's my first time to visit the Yamana Shuzo brewery in Okutamba. Is it a sake made from the same yeast as the original yeast? If so, I'd like to try it hot ❗️ Oh, this is delicious ‼️. It's a perfect harmony of sweet and sour, mellow and mild 🥰I read "Chitose" when I'm in Hokkaido 😅Thanks for the great taste.

Bifuku Organic Rice Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo-shu, 1 time heat-fermented Rated 4.4-4.5 Sake meter: +4, Acidity: 1.3, Rice: Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio: 50 An unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed by hand from organically grown Yamadanishiki and heated in a bottle. It has a gorgeous aroma and elegant, full flavor. Warmed (55°C), it has a soft touch of umami and is naturally delicious.

Bought this sake while at the Gunma Marathon! It's dark and full of umami! The owner is right, it goes well with warmed sake. It has just the right amount of bitterness and acidity.

Old wine of 20 years old from the Bunfuku Brewery (^^) This is already a high-class Shaoxing wine! Warmed sake is also good🙆

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Sake Hiroba ⛲️ It caught my eye quickly👀. What a rude name, that it is 🐵. It's mainly a refreshing sweetness and a slight astringency that goes down your throat 😙. It has a slight hackberry taste that wakes you up 🙄. Mmmmmm, I'm not drunk yet, that I am 🐵.

It is a souvenir of Kusatsu from his father. It was a refreshing, slightly spicy sake with a hint of sweetness. I think it can be served warmed.

Japanese>English

It has a samurai-like design and a blood splattering color, and it has a sake level of +15! I couldn't help but be curious about this one, so I bought it! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was dry. It also has a savory aroma like steamed rice. The dry, light flavor and the richness of Junmai are well balanced on the palate, giving it a slippery sensation. The acidity also makes it taste slightly citrus-like 🍊. It smells like ginjo, and in a good way, it is not like Junmai! The aftertaste is also refreshing and easy to drink from start to finish👍. I thought it would be a simple dry sake, but it was surprisingly fruity and refreshingly delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a refreshing green apple-like flavor and fades quickly. As the day goes by, the flavor also develops and becomes more savory.

I bought it at Tsunoka Shoten, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. The nearest stations are Keihan Sumizome Station, Keihan Fujimori Station, or JR Fujimori Station. The brands available include Miyakotsuru, Tamagawa, Yaetsuru, Shirakikyu, Kumi no Ura, Jinzo, Yosamusume, Haginoroh, Roppo (from Kirakucho's brewery), Wakabisu, Joyo, Honohana (from Wakamiya Shuzo), and sake from the Meimon Sake Association. In addition, there were a few PB-like products that were only available at sake dealers' associations and unions. They were sake made by Eikun and Tsuki no Katsura. There were two kinds of sake, both fruity, so I chose 1801. It was not very fragrant for an aromatic yeast, but it was voluptuous and sweet. It was a bit similar to the Yatagarasu I drank before. I wonder if it tastes like this when you make a sweet sake with Koshihikari. It tastes a little cloying and messy...

Japanese>English

Yosamusume Shuzo is a sake brewery that has only had a summer-only sake called "Sono Higurashi Nigori Shu" in the past. This time it was the most expensive sake, "Yosamusume Junmai Daiginjo Gohyakumangoku 40% polished. It is tasty and refreshing. It is considered to be reasonable in its price range.

Special Honjozo brewed with Kyoto brand rice, Kyo no Shine. I was a bit scared of the -10 sake level, but the balance of the alcoholic beverage is well expressed 😋. It's 19 degrees, a solid sake but easy to drink. I can't stop drinking it.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Go-around Rokkomichi 1/5 It was my first time to participate in a go-around! I was excited and thrilled from the morning. I couldn't work today... lol. It was like a field trip for adults. I visited 5 stores in the Rokko-michi area in Kobe! First of all, here is the shaken sake. As I stood nervously at the counter, my neighbor spoke to me. He said, "How many restaurants have you been to?" I said, "This is the first one. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is my first time drinking Miyakotsuru. It is very dry. It is light. I asked for breast meat with kombu-jime egg yolk and chicken skin with wasabi and soy sauce. I thought it was a little strong. But it goes well with sake! This time, the theme for me was "matching the dish". I'm on the train now on my way home. Because I have to work NOW tomorrow.... I'll be posting more soon.......!

It's been a while since I've had sake. I don't often have a chance to drink Ehime sake, but I remembered this bottle that my aunt gave me and opened the bottle. It is a light cloudy, shwashy sake. It is sweet and slightly bitter. Delicious. I can only thank my aunt for this.

The beer in the photo is the one I won in a raffle at a sale when I bought some Fukuoka sake, thanks to the Softbank Hawks winning the Japanese championship. Thank you, Hawks. But I want Lotte to win next year. ⚾️ Now, Nanayo. It has a clean taste with a strong acidity. It tastes like white wine.

Japanese>English

Nanayo No Color Finishing No. 2 Rating 4.4 Rice: Yamadanishiki from Fukuoka Prefecture, 60% polished rice, Sake meter -9.4, Acidity 1.8, Amino acidity 1.4 Yeast used: Newly developed yeast (name undecided), 11% alcohol by volume All Fukuoka, using a yeast newly developed by the Fukuoka Industrial Technology Center's Biological Food Research Institute. Refreshing and fruity flavor. Low alcohol. Limited to only 400 720ml bottles because it is a test brew. Low-alcohol 11% sweet sake. Low-alcohol sake inevitably retains some sweetness during the manufacturing process, but how to prepare it is a challenge for each sake brewery. This time, the sweetness is left as it is and the acidity is raised to balance it out, creating a sweet and sour taste that is pleasant to drink. The first part of the bottle has a refreshing, melon-like to citrus-like aroma, and then it becomes smooth. The convergence of the two is acidic and refreshing.

The next drink was a Tokujiro for Joyo's distributor? Tokujiro I drank Joyo several times, but this was my first time to drink Tokujiro. I happened to see on a restaurant instagram I follow that Tokujiro was originally a joint product between a Hirakata liquor store and the Joyo Brewery. It's unfiltered, once-bottled, and heated. It's fire-brewed, but it's still slightly effervescent and has a fresh, mellow rice flavor that's really tasty 😋. I'll buy Tokujiro next time I see it.
