Caramelly Shaoxing Wine Acidity Creamy Sweet and Sour Cheese

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) The effect of oak barrels, or something quite close to whiskey, but the mellowness and acidity of sake is also alive! I know it's just my imagination, but I feel it's similar to the whiskey akashi. Of course, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have thought so. I also had a bottle of Junmai Namae in the heated sake corner, but my memory is a little fuzzy on whether or not my brain was getting the alcohol when I got here! I do remember that it was meant to be heated, but that's about it.

Japanese>English

Tastes like Shaoxing wine. However, it has almost no acidity and has a caramel-like aroma and a strong mizu-hashimoto (water yeast) flavor.

Japanese>English

Aged in oak barrels used for whisky Akashi, sour and full-bodied, with an aroma of amontillado and Shaoxing wine. Yamatodamashii Junmai Mizuhashi Special II, stored in French oak barrels "Mizuhashi Special II" is made with part white malted rice to bring out citric acidity, fire-brewed, and aged for two years in French oak barrels.

Holy shit! 🍶🍶🍶🍶 A glass of Kikumasamune sake 😀. Even though it's a regular sake, it's quite fruity like it says on the back. It's delicious🤗maybe the best cup-based sake I've ever had😙I really might recommend it🤔.

I got a bottle of Senkyu's "Kirifuri" on a business trip to Utsunomiya the other day...fruity aroma, strong acidity and bitterness? It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and a strong bitterness. I think it's a good sake for a meal...I had sardine nigiri and on the second day, I had yakitori as a side dish...I feel this sake is better when the bottle is opened. It has some peculiarities...but...it's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is a piece of bread I bought on my way back from a trip to Kirifuri Kogen. I thought it was the perfect name for a souvenir, but I was surprised to find it was made by Senkou 😳. I've been storing it at room temperature for a while now because it's been heat-treated. But I thought it would be better to drink it cold, so I put it in the fridge and drank it. The best thing about this product is that it has the gas and acidity that I like, even if it has been heated.

Japanese>English

It's always a repeat drink: ❗️ It's a four-pack, but I'd buy it by the square if it were available 😤 lol It's tart and delicious✨

Smells like pineapple. It is delicious. The juiciness, bitterness, and robust umami, the pineapple-like acidity and flavor, the refined sugary sweetness, and the rice flavor that reminds you that sake is made from rice are all present in the final stages, with the bitterness spreading and lingering for a long time. The bitterness accumulates. This is the kind of food that makes a good meal, and when you eat a meal with it, the meal is good!

Japanese>English

After having enjoyed Omachi Jungin before, this time I tried Rikuwada Junmai Nama, and when I opened the bottle, the fruity aroma...sweetness, good bitterness in the aftertaste...well balanced...it's just great! No bitterness at all....delicious 😋...rather than a food sake 🍶, you can sip this sake 🍶 as it is...with the usual "tuna kamatoro" from my dad's place.... I'm enjoying it...

Japanese>English

Thin rose-like smell, apple as the temperature rises. It is thick. There is a sense of sweetness and rice that is not too assertive. When you try to swallow it, you feel as if the taste has disappeared, and then there is a bitter taste on your tongue. I don't know what it is, but it makes my meal go further than usual. It is delicious! Drinking this makes me eat a lot of food 🥗🍣. Day 3. Strong smell of floral blue fruits and a little bit of alcohol. It is thick and sweet, with less bitterness and umami. It has a nice aftertaste and you will not get tired of drinking it.

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Japanese>English

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

Junmai Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨ Various flavors. Stronger freshly squeezed. Alcohol is also strong. It is assertive throughout. The sliced kipper makes it mild 👍. Fried oyster makes it more charming. It looks like it was made up and became beautiful😅. Nambu Bistro Unmenosu @ Morioka station 20240126

To end the day, the chairman gave us 🍶💕. It was very delicious 🥰. I always think I forget to eat it😅 A small bowl of food, two slices of sashimi, two slices of tuna, one piece of fried fish... I think the last time I had this was after a few drinks 🐾.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We got the blue label of the Instrument Masamune. Just as good as the yellow-green label ✨🙌. I think it's the strongest sake in the Cospa ✨🙌✨.

Fruity sweetness. Transparent and easy to drink. It goes well with fish dishes. Sake rice is Yamadanishiki from the Tojo Special A district in Hyogo Prefecture. Polishing ratio is 40%.

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo No.10 I had a bottle of Hidakami dry junmai 😀 🔥. It was a traditional strong style 💪 and matched well with the sashimi we ordered. It was a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

There is no night without dawn Today is firefly squid with vinegared miso. My son was taken care of in Ishinomaki, so I made this with gratitude. Hidakami is a dry sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It made me think that sake really goes well with fish.

Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

Then we have the Jun Dai on the left side. This one has a nice fluffy ginjo aroma, as is typical of jun-dai. The mouthfeel is light and sweet, and the acidity changes to a nice sourness in the mouth. It's kind of elegant! Thank you for the sake!

Japanese>English

Next is Golden Crane When I ask the locals on Sado Island what sake they drink, almost everyone answers, "Kintsuru. Almost all of them answer, "Kintsuru. It is the most major sake on Sado Island. Light and dry! Shakiness that is a model of Niigata sake. What is noteworthy is its transparency! There is no unpleasant feeling of brewing alcohol, so it is so easy to drink that it is almost like water. It is so easy to drink that it almost feels like water. It is a delicious and scary yuzu. Thank you very much!
