☀️ I went to the Yamagata Sake Fair 🤗. It's raining unfortunately ☔️ Rain outdoors is a pain in the ass😅. First, let's start with Hanabayo. ◾️Hanabayo Clean, sweet, slightly bitter, but easily swallowed and tasty without any peculiarities. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Daiginjo Sweet and smooth on the tongue 😋. The sake seems to float fluffy on the tongue. It has a rich aroma and fills you up with just sake 😊. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Junmai Daiginjo This one is also sweet and smooth. The same fluffy tongue on the tongue. It has little fragrance, but there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste and fullness in the flavor. I could tell the difference between Junmai and Alten 🤗. Both are worthy of a beautiful sake 🥰.

The sake I chose when I returned home for Obon was Gold Junmai Daiginjo by Popular Sake Brewery. This sake brewery is very particular about the traditional method of making sake, and everything is made in wooden vats. It is a junmai daiginjo that is polished to 50%, so there is no cloying taste at all ✨It starts with an elegant sweetness and rice flavor, with the aroma of the wooden vat and a slight bitterness at the end. Delicious 😊.

Japanese>English

Clean and easy to drink. It has a lychee-like aroma and a banana-like sweetness. It's dry on the throat, but you can feel the sourness and sweetness. I personally like it better when the temperature rises a little and it's closer to room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is dry but not too dry, and the alcohol content is hard to detect. It also has sweetness, but not too sweet, with a clean aftertaste. Mammoth 🦣, served with frozen sleep.

@Koriyama Iando After having a drink in Omiya, I got tired of going back to Tokyo, so I jumped on the 🚄 and went to Koriyama. I decided to have a quick bite in front of the station, but it was crowded everywhere, so I went to a new restaurant that I found. They have a good selection of local sake, and I chose "Yuri", which I had never had before, and it is from the same brewery as Aizu Nakasho! I heard that this sake is brewed by a mother and daughter who are both sake brewing technicians! It has a soft sweetness at first, but eventually it becomes slightly dry and pleasant to drink. It is very easy to drink, which is impressive and delicious.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part65 Tochigi Ai🥰④ Katayama Sake Brewery in Nikko City There is also a Katayama Sake Brewery of the same name in Fukui that brews Kansai! Kashiwazakari, not Kashiwamori Polishing ratio 65%, Gohyakumangoku from Tochigi, 19 degrees, Sake degree +2, 1950 yen The price is very aggressive for a honjozo! A classic sake with a lot of attitude. The name seems to be "Harazake M" but I don't know what "M" means... The brewer of Wakakoma Sake Brewery gave me a bottle of sake around this time!

#Sake brewery sweets A beautiful white fluffy cake with plenty of original sake Kashiwamori. It is quite sweet and would go well with ginjo sake. It would be delicious with sakekasu sauce, amazake sauce, or fruit! Purchased at the beginning of June, it looks like it will last until the end of July. It would make a great souvenir for sake lovers & those with a sweet tooth. Note that it is not individually wrapped and must be cut.

Japanese>English

This is Kashiwamori, an original sake from Katayama Shuzo, which I bought on a trip to Nikko. Slightly dry. It has the rich taste and aroma of original sake. I also recommend the "Sake Long Cake" filled with this sake 😀 I have had many different sake cakes, but this one, by all means, should be paired with sake. You will not regret buying it.

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

Japanese>English

Only two locations in Hokkaido (according to the store) have this keg. Slightly effervescent and undiluted. Good mouthfeel and drinkability. No doubt about it.

Japanese>English

It tastes like juicy fruit with a good amount of acidity and bitterness in the flavor, and the lingering aftertaste is also very pleasant, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

Got it at Furusato. It is mild and has few peculiarities. Not so sweet.

Happy New Year! After making Zoni, I finally had my first drink. I started the year with Kaneizumi, which I received from a friend the day before yesterday. The aroma is good, but the taste is sweet and fruity at first, followed by a refreshing acidity that lingers in the mouth, and finally the taste of rice lingers. The sweet and fruity taste fills the mouth at first. According to my friend, he has been drinking Kaneizumi since the old days when it was made by Horimoto Shuzo. and then it was taken over by Aihara Shuzo of Amego no Tsuki with the toji-san. After the brewery went out of business and was succeeded by Aihara Brewery It is said to be his favorite sake even after he took over the brewery with the master brewer. I look forward to working with you again this year. Degree of alcohol content: 16%, Rice polishing ratio: 40

First time drinking outside in a while, and the second drink was ayu - ‼️ This was also the first time I had this. The aroma is gorgeous and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced. I thought that ayu (sweetfish) was the ultimate in dryness, but it was easy to drink and I liked it.

My first ayu masamune! I've never had it before 💡. Refreshing, refreshing, and oicy ❕. It was delicious!

Japanese>English

This is my first time to try this sake. I'm sure Masamune hunters know about it, but I still haven't learned enough about it. As the label says, the sweetness and acidity blend well together, yes, this is indeed ayu (sweetfish)! Ayu is sweet, but salty and delicious 😋I don't know if the name or the image comes first, but it is 👍ayu!
