Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.

I bought this simple labeled sake because I was curious. When warmed up, it has a robust lactic acid aroma, a gentle sweetness, and a full, rich umami. It has a nice lingering aftertaste that seems to soak in. At room temperature, it has a slightly sweet and sour rice aroma with a banana-like flavor. The juicy umami comes as a surprise as it rises from the mild sweetness. I thought it would be good warmed up, but it may be good in various ways.

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.

Bought it for a moment with Rusty Cat Rock. Also got Funaguchi Smoked incense! It has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a sweetness with a tangy flavor and a spiciness that is very strong. Much tastier than I expected.

Japanese>English

It was given to me by my brother back home. Vegetables as well. Deep fried and soaked. For the main dish, I served a bonito tataki with a mountain of myoga (Japanese ginger). Today's dish is from the Niigata series. The dry sake went well with it.

Niigata Souvenirs Part 2 The last one was a gift from Kimi no Ii, along with the Yukinaka Ume. Seasonal summer sake ☀️ It was hot yesterday, so I chilled it to the perfect temperature before serving. It was so hot yesterday, so I chilled it and enjoyed it! It has almost no aroma and a smooth taste. The aftertaste is a little bit peculiar. but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. It is very easy to drink! It was delicious 😄.

At home. First time in Saitama. I couldn't find Saitama easily, so I searched by the name of the prefecture and finally found it. The aroma is grainy and nutty. The mouthfeel is smooth and fresh, and it has a sweet taste of grain. The sourness and bitterness were not so strong. From the label, I thought it would be heavy, but it was easy to drink.

Mild sweetness. Banana and ripe apples. Moderately refreshing on the back palate.8

I had never seen this brand before, so I couldn't resist buying it. This is a sake brewery in Shunan City, Yamaguchi. There are about 1,400 sake breweries in Japan, so it's no wonder that there are breweries and brands that I don't know (there are more than 1,000 here). Even if I were to drink one brand every day for the rest of my life, it would take me almost 30 years (^_^;) It's simply impossible. This was an aside. The moment you put it in your mouth, the aroma is distinctive. I wonder what it is, is it the aroma of rice? In total, the aroma is fluffy, the taste is tangy, and the sweetness is warm. I think it's delicious.

Surprised 👀️ by the spontaneous flying of the cork and the fruity taste of the 👀️. Easy to drink and delicious sake. Delicious 😋 hey.

It's a sweet and savory schwa 🍶. I think this is the second bottle on repeat here: ⁉️ It's fire-roasted, so it's great to take with you ✨. I opened a bottle of this excellent stuff at home 😆💦. It's Monday and I'm already tired fight❗️

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!

Thick, umami, sweet, and yellowish taste due to microfiltration. Chocolate aroma in the mouth. It is a good sake.

Sake made with red rice. Purchased at the brewery. It is easy to drink with low alcohol content, but the base flavor is pretty classic, light and dry. It is light and easy to drink, so it is not suitable for drinking on the rocks or with soda.

The acidity is exquisite. Delicious. It's a little frustrating that it's not easy to get because it's only available in Fukuoka.

Japanese>English

This is Kyushu Kiku's Kamisen. I have not had this sake since the spring, when I had a bottle of the honjozo (pure sake) at Nishinakasu. I never thought I would see this sake in Tokyo. I had it at room temperature 🍶. The first aroma is sweet with a slight bran-like nuance. It tastes sweet on the palate, like a so-called "normal" sake. The aroma is not so good. It was made in October, so it seems it is not twisted 🤔. Thanks for the drink ✨

Other brews. Like the juiciest finish ever of rice and agave. White grapes, Yona Yona Ale, sweet gravy mandarin oranges, clear sweet smell. Juicy! White grapes like balls, hops, umami, acidity and sweet sourness that stimulates the back of the tongue, slight effervescence, beer-like bitterness and freshness and the balls pop and the juiciness sweet and sour, and it's crisp and clean. Yum! Second day. The color of the sake was slightly pink and cloudy white. It is sweeter and hoppier than yesterday's sake. The desire to drink it is rising.

Japanese>English

Craft beer, white grapes, sweet smell. Shrewd, hop bitterness, sweet bitter, grapefruit-like acidity. The description says to mix well before drinking as the lees contain delicious hop compounds. The beer has a clear sourness and a clear taste. But it also has the flavor and mouthfeel of sake. Recently, I drink beer and get drunk very slowly, so on days when I want to drink beer, this is the perfect combination of satisfaction, deliciousness, and tongue-twisting! I think I like it better than beer. I like it.

October 31, 2023 Japanese Sake and Japanese Cuisine at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. The 7th glass was served on recommendation with rice and hops. It has a clean and gorgeous taste with acidity and a pleasant hop aroma. The aroma of hops is pleasant. Pione and Cheinmuscat. I enjoyed it with Pioneer and Shine Muscat.

After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

Japanese>English

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Japanese>English

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️
