Fizzy Umami Balanced Bitterness Steady Sweetness Acidity Gentle

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

Strong rice flavor. The aroma is unique to sake with alcohol, The aroma is gorgeous, as expected of a sake entered in a sake competition. It is easy to cut through and has an excellent mouthfeel. The alcohol content is high at 17°C.

First brand. Purchased at Kadoya Sake Shop in Osaka. The first impression was "deliciously spicy. It gives the impression of being similar to Nabeshima, but without the gasiness. It has a very careful taste, and it makes you feel relaxed 😙.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop online. The 500ml bottle of this sake costs about the same as a 1.5 liter bottle, but that's why it's so tasty! I always drink it with a sense of anticipation. Alcohol content 17%. Rice polishing ratio 40%. The first saké has a firm, slightly dry taste. The balance is very good. It is not at all fruity like apples, grapes, pineapple, etc., which are common. It is not gorgeous, but as a food sake, it is a sake that goes well with food and makes you say "delicious". One more sip. As you take another sip and another sip, before you know it, it's gone. It was very delicious! (^O^)

A limited edition sake brand from a nearby shop. Hiya. Mild umami from the head to the aftertaste.

Japanese>English

This is also a dry sake with a nice sharp taste. In a good sense, it is a sake for everyday drinking without being special.

A crisp, dry sake. Lush and fresh.

On a road trip to Shinshu, we stopped by Houraisen Ginjo Kobo on the way and bought 180ml. As expected, I couldn't buy the 720ml because it is by reservation only 😭. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Sora It has a fruity and elegant aroma You can taste the elegant sweetness and acidity And it has a nice sharpness It is a beautiful sake. Delicious!

Ibaraki Local Sake Tour Made with 100% Hitachinishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing. Both the rice and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Refreshing, light, and slightly fruity. Serve with strawberries and mashed baked potatoes.

Japanese>English

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Japanese>English

I was impressed with the Miyamanishiki Hi-Kiri that I had previously tasted, so I tried the nama-shu as well. It is fruity, sweet and delicious, but a little refreshing. It also seems to have more acidity. The hi-ire version seems more cohesive, but I personally prefer the nama-zake. It tasted good when it was first opened, but on the third day, it's not so good. The bitterness is getting much stronger. I think I would prefer the more stable fire-roasted version.

It has a light amber color, a sweet fruity aroma, and a strong sweet bitter taste. I've been enjoying it with sashimi of red tuna and grilled mackerel... It's good to drink as is, but it can also be used as a sake during meals... I'd like to try Akaban Omachi... This is high quality! It's very good.

Today we have an opening 😆. I'm already drunk, so just wow what I feel. The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with a beautiful sour fade out👌no bitterness 😆👍 I'm worried about getting my wife to buy me sake, but I'll build up my daily efforts to get her to buy it for me: ‼️ and I'm just going to do what I do every month. In the meantime, I'm really asking for cash for next month's allowance: 🙇‍♂️

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka① Entered the event for the first time in 6 years. The venue was the 9th floor Sky Hall of Kyocera Dome Osaka. Since 52 breweries in Shikoku were participating in the event, we couldn't visit all of them in 2.5 hours, so we decided to focus on the breweries we rarely see. As usual, Dr. Bouken was with us. First, we visited the booths of "Imakomachi" and "Yutaka" in Tokushima. ◉Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered A clean acidity and a full-bodied flavor. ◉Junmai Daiginjo, unfiltered The Junmai Daiginjo Mucho is a pure, polished, full-bodied, rich, and delicious wine. It was so good. The price was about 3300 yen including tax. ◉Yamansho Slightly dry and refreshing. Not too spicy. Imakomachi Daiginjo The most expensive. The standard, excellent quality, with a full-bodied, all-rounded taste. Not very impactful. In the Kansai region, Ohmune in Hyogo Prefecture seems to carry it on a spot basis. They can also send it to individuals by e-mail or phone.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (1) Nemuchi and I participated in the Shikoku Sake event held at Kyocera Dome! The venue was 5 minutes before the event, so we arrived in time to get in, but the line was too long to get in in 5 minutes 😳 We lost about 10 minutes 💦. We lost about 10 minutes 💦. There was no sake list like at Japanese Sake Fest or Sake-1 Grand Prix 🤔. We decided to focus on the breweries we hadn't seen before. We started with Imakomachi. It seems to be in the same area as Yoshimizu and Miyoshikiku, and Miyoshikiku has the same salad address, so they are neighbors! I referred to the official site for the specs. I drank Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Harazake Gohyakumangoku, 50% polished rice ratio It has a beautiful taste and is slightly sweet. It is fire-aged, but I also felt a sense of freshness. The sweetness and acidity were well balanced. Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Harajuku Yamadanishiki, 40% polished rice Fruity and sweet. I got the impression that Imakomachi is generally sweet. Yamasho Junmai Ginjo Genshu Gohyakumangoku, 60% polished rice ratio Unlike the above two types, it is refreshingly dry as it claims to be super dry. Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40% polished rice Less sweet than the jun-dai, but delicious.

Buy at Hasegawa Sake Store online. It is brewed with the common rice "Asahi". It is a precious bottle brewed with 50% polishing ratio. The sweetness is gentle and well-balanced. It has a mild and well balanced sweetness that I can only describe as excellent.

Japanese>English

Happy New Year! A special Jikin for a special day. The sake rice is "Tokkami" Omachi, which is back after a four-year absence. We had planned to match it with Osechi cuisine, I have been savoring it on its own. It is a bottle with the sweetness and umami of Omachi concentrated in it.

Japanese>English

At a nearby bar. Today, for the last time, the master of the restaurant offered us a gem that was not on the menu. First Jikin❗️When it came out from the back of the shop, I leaned forward. The mouthfeel is mellow, and the sweetness oozes out. It was a gem that I felt was profound.
