Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

Purchased as a souvenir from a trip to Osaka. It is dry and has a smoky taste. It tastes like something I have never had before. I drank it cold, so I will have it at room temperature next time.

It's been a long time since I've had a barrel of Yoshinosugi sake. You can see it often in Kansai, but rarely in Fukuoka 😂. Hiyade Woody aroma unique to cedar barrels Mature and broad flavor Unique acidity Good as a food sake Excellent pairing with strong flavored food.

Finished eating shish-kebabs Take a nap at the hotel An hour before the end of the lounge service, I popped into the lounge. I had heard from the front desk that they serve alcohol, so I rushed over to the lounge. Sake was available! This brand from Imai-cho, Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, is called "Deze Otoko"! Unebi or Unebi? On the rocks with ice in the glass! It has more punch than expected! I drank it in small sips, but in the second half I drank it with ginger ale, which is not a good idea! Maybe it is better to drink it hot! Tomorrow we will visit Nara's Yamato Sanzan (three mountains in the Yamato region), and then we will make it to Wakayama in the evening. Do you think we have enough time to get to Koyasan? (knowledge of the Japanese language and culture) Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 70 Alcohol percentage: 16

Trip to Get Sake Seal Label Sake of Nara We got off at Unebi and went to the brewery. Imai-cho, where the brewery is located, is a charming town with It looks nice. This brewery also mainly sells dry sake. I like sweet and dark sake, so I bought nigori sake. I bought a bottle of nigori sake. I also got a sake stamp label.

This is a gift from a sake professional, a local sake from Nanada's place. It is quite precious as it is the first pressing... 🙏. The aroma is juicy fruity and red apple-like. The mouthfeel is supposed to be fresh, but it also has a mellow, umami-like sweetness that spreads out and is very drinkable 👌👌. As a lover of the four seasons, I quite like this type. ☺️ I've heard it tastes great warmed up, so I'm going to enjoy it 😋.

Japanese>English

The eighth one is a storehouse of rocks. This is the first time for Iwanokura itself. I guess I don't even remember seeing it in a liquor store. From the name and the image on the label, I somehow imagined it to be light and dry, but when I tried it, it was completely different. It has a sweet flavor from the fruity Kamitatekko, and although it is more reserved in terms of flavor intensity than the previous brew, I didn't feel anything lacking. On the contrary, it has a nice umami taste that comes slowly but surely afterwards! The cut is also very smooth, so it is like a gentle sweet and tasty taste. It's delicious! Finally, the next is the last! Thank you for the food!

Japanese>English

Modest ginjo aroma, pear-like flavor? A little spiciness afterward is also nice. As the temperature rises, the graininess comes out. It is better when it is cold,

It arrived just a few minutes ago. This morning, the sake was pressed early in the morning. It seems I forgot to buy it last year, but this year I reserved it and bought it. I couldn't stand it, so I had a cup in my inoguchi. I love Tomikunishiki, but this year's Risshun morning pressing has a little acidity, a clean throat, and not much of an aftertaste. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

I went to the Tomikunishiki New Sake Festival yesterday and today. I bought a bottle of Shiboritate and sake lees this year too. I opened the bottle right away. This year's Shiboritate seems to be more fruity than usual. It's delicious. I love Tomihunishiki after all❤️.

Japanese>English

It's that time of year again ♪ We were able to get enough plums for two bottles, so we have two this year. One of them, actually I couldn't pickle plums last year because of the bad harvest, so I left it, but I hope it's okay. Basic shape and refreshing. I'm looking forward to winter ☺️.

I couldn't go anywhere during the second half of GW because I had to stay at home. So on the last day, I will just enjoy the feeling of traveling with this cup of sake. It has an alcoholic taste, but it is sweet and easy to drink. Since it is a Hokkaido sake, we also had some delicacies that Men-chan gave us. Thank you very much.

Japanese>English

A souvenir from the expedition, a cup of sake officially approved by the Asahiyama Zoo, is opened. The illustration is by Michiko Abe, an illustrator active in Asahikawa. There are three kinds of illustrations, and this one is "Hokkaido (northern land)". The clear acidity and pleasant umami are impressive, and the taste is refreshing with a hint of the northern land. There are three different illustrations, so I would like to collect the other two and display them on my next trip. Delicious ❗️

The first Toyoshu in a long time is a pure rice sake brewed with the Yamanokami yeast derived from sasayuri (a kind of lily of the valley) that blooms in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine, a sacred place for sake. If you are a sake drinker in Nara, you must try this 😁. Perhaps it was because I was used to light and fruity junmai sake, but it was alcoholic, not too sweet, and had a firm mouthfeel. But it has a modern feel and is easy to drink. Yamano kami yeast was surprisingly not peculiar 🤔. Thank you for the food 🙏. I think I'll go visit Ookami shrine ⛩ again.

It's finally New Year's Eve! For the first time this year, I was able to participate in "Sake-no-Wa" and it was fun and I learned a lot. Thank you very much😊. Now, we are having a limited edition sake that was just pressed this morning. Fresh, crisp, umami, delicious! It's going to be a good New Year's Eve 😋.

Is this the first Aizan for this brand? The sweet flavor is sustained from the first sip.

Slightly cloudy. Smoky aroma like smoked fish, but round and quite sweet in the mouth. It would be great if it wasn't smoky...

It was hard to ask them to let me take a picture because they looked so busy, so no picture. The aroma is classic Japanese sake. When you drink it, it is quite refreshing and slightly sweet. The color is dark and I wonder if it has aged a bit. I was allowed to take a picture of it as the restaurant was getting settled, so I switched it out.
