Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

Suehiro Shuzo's Genzai. They also won a gold medal at the New Sake Competition for their Genzai daiginjo, but this is not that award-winning sake, but an affordable special junmai. It starts off with a piquant and refreshing sweet and sour taste! The taste is powerful with a strong sense of presence, but the alcohol content of 15 degrees makes it easy to drink and enjoy 👌. We are looking forward to adding this sake to our lineup next year and beyond 😊.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed at Suehiro Shuzo's Kaei warehouse. When I hear the name "Genzai," I think of the daiginjo that was entered in the sake competition. I hesitate to buy it because it is a bit expensive, but this special junmai sake (nama-shu, hi-iru) is reasonably priced and easy to pick up. I am looking forward to the next year, when there will be more varieties of sake. As for the sake, the aroma is like apples. When I drank it, I smelled cemedine😅. The sake is fresh and has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. I thought maybe I don't like cemedine, but I drank more than half of it in no time and regretted it. It is easy to drink. The second day, the cemedine is also good. If this is the case, it's a special pure Cemedine.

It's hard to tell, but it has a sweet but crisp aftertaste. The feeling changes from the moment you put it in your mouth to afterwards! The aroma is very fruity. The sweetness is followed by a bitter aftertaste. It's strange but delicious!

( ⑉¯ ⑉ )🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I received a gift of sake called Kansai 😀 This is a brand I have never heard of before 😊It seems to be a popular sake often drunk in Fukui. When I drank it, I found it to be a strong style of traditional sake 😚 with a good balance of flavor, sweetness, and bitterness, and it was thick 🥰It was like an all-purpose sake 🤤.

Japanese>English

Drinking out after a long time, a dinner party with the whole family It was a chilly autumn night, so we had some local sake hot. The soft taste on the palate and the heat from the warmed sake filled our bodies! This Kansai hot sake, which is easy to drink and has no quirks, has become my standard for comparing hot sake. The image of the bottle is borrowed from the official website.

I have never seen it in a cup of sake.... Why "Kansai" in Echizen City?

This one on the right is a rare limited edition sake made from Junmai white malted rice. I was wondering whether to buy it or not after tasting it at my favorite liquor store, when I was offered it because there were only a few bottles left. I don't like the taste of "Hyakudanbara" itself because it has a strong habit, but this sake made with white malted rice has a complex and unique flavor. It is one of the most difficult sakes to decide when to buy because the taste is affected by the quality of the rice of the year.

Japanese>English

It is an interesting sake that is light and dry, but also has a sweetness of rice in the mouth. This is one of a set of six bottles given to me by a relative in Nagaoka. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much 😊.

A local sake from Futtsu, Chiba... A faint fruity aroma... A sweet bitterness with a strong bitterness typical of local sake! The flavor of the rice soaks in... The bitterness is followed by a sharpness! It's a good sake to drink while eating.... It's similar to Kotobuki Mangame from Chiba. It's a drink to be enjoyed in small quantities. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Chiba Prefecture Antenna Shop, which was open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station. I had drunk Seisen from the same brewery in the past and was not fond of hiyaoroshi, but I was impressed with it. The first aroma was already gorgeous. It is sweet and a little tangy on the palate. The second half is a little spicy. It was more delicious than I had imagined. Overall, I'd say it's fruity and dry.

It's been a while since I've had it, but it's still my favorite flavor. It's rich and fruity, but the rice flavor is still there, and there's no bitter aftertaste. I bought a four-pack bottle, but I'm sure the one-pack bottle will be gone soon.

Japanese>English

It was quite hearty and delicious. It was also very sweet and flavorful. ‼️ It was the kind of sake that would go well with fried food!

At Unaichi in Shin-Tokorozawa Yuboshi: Slightly dry (maybe because it's chilled), but a little sweet and tasty.

Japanese>English

Juicy aroma reminiscent of pears and ripe apricots. The rich flavor and sweetness of the Omachi grape, as well as the fresh and powerful taste of the unpasteurized sake, make this a very appealing wine. The firm acidity keeps the aftertaste clean and tight, making it an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes, including sashimi, herb-infused meat dishes, white meat fish carpaccio, and cream pasta.

This is my first time drinking Shikanaru. As a Harushika lover, I would like to try this sake at least once. It is much heavier than Harushika. It is not as fruity as Harushika, but I got the impression that it is thicker.
