(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today is Tateyama Cup. It's stable and delicious. I never get tired of drinking it.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have a drink with you. A drink at Tateyama after a long absence today. It's stable and delicious.

Japanese>English

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

It was delicious!

A little dry. But delicious. You can feel the flavor of sake rather than fruity. I️ got drunk while I was thinking about what to have for a snack.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second one in the Hokkaido series. Kokushi Muso is a metaphor for being so good that no two people under the sun are alike. I was expecting it to have a strong alcoholic taste, but I was betrayed in a good way. It has a fruity aroma and a refreshing, clean taste that goes well with any meal. I think I'll end up drinking too much of it. But the words "Hokkaido Limited" are magic. I feel like I got a great deal just from this word.

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Hokkaido rice Kitshizuku Rice polishing ratio : 55 Sake meter : +3 Acidity: 1.7 Alcohol content: 17-18%. Sold at: Takasago Shuzo (Asahikawa City) When opened, it has a gaseous feeling. Almost no gas Slightly alcoholic grape-like top note The aroma is like light grapes and peaches, the umami of rice and gentle sweetness spreads with soft acidity, and it finishes with a hint of bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness. The aroma and sweetness are mild, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, giving it a mildly juicy impression. It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It went well with crispy grilled chicken (salted and teriyaki flavors), turnip and chicken in cream sauce.

Something I got from a work colleague. Thank you 😊 Unfortunately, it was completely 'old', probably due to extremely poor storage conditions (at the dealership). It had a strong sense of rice, and I could feel a glimpse of the rich dry taste, but the aftertaste was so uncomfortable that I gave up after one glass. We decided to serve it as a cooking sake from now on.

Japanese>English

My wife bought this series💕 I heard it's 📌720ml ¥ secret! I'll get back to you as soon as I can 🍶. Not much aroma but mild 💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is light and refreshing💕 It goes down smoothly💕 It has a nice sharpness to it💕The spiciness comes a little later but not unpleasant 👍 I think it's a food wine. Today's pairing is pork with ginger 👍 It goes well with it💕and doesn't interfere with it💕. Delicious ✌️! The alcohol content is 15-16 degrees, but it seems to be higher 😓It goes around 🥵. Thanks to my wife again today💕 Thank you ✌️thank you👍

#Hamamatsu# I went back to my parents' home in Hamamatsu during Golden Week. I left Tokyo around 3pm in the afternoon. Tomei Expressway had zero traffic jam 😯 Surprised 😆. It was good to move at the time to spend in the holiday resort 🤔. Arrived at my hometown and bought gyoza (dumplings) and sake (sake) at my parents' house. Knowing that "Hana no Mai" was waiting for me. I bought this sake and went home. It was very spicy 🤯 and bitter at first. Not bad 😅

The label is unexpectedly attached on two sheets. The second one that I turned over, The second label is a nice beckoning cat with both hands raised in the air. The taste is mellow and autumnal, The taste is mellow like an autumn sake with a fresh sweetness like a pear. It is easy to match with meals.

Japanese>English

It is a light and refreshing sake! It's a great match for a midday drink!

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Abe-kan at home. The one I drank in the past was a special sake with a special kijoshu spec, so I don't think it was any different from the first time I drank it. It is dry with a strong gassy and acidic taste. It is not that sweet, but it is easy to drink because of the sourness. I don't think I've ever seen Abe-kan sold anywhere but Edion Namba.

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

Today, we continued yesterday's momentum and opened the bottle! And nigori ❗️ The supernatant was not so sour. After mixing and drinking, I thought it was a crisp nigori sake. However, it is low in alcohol! It was delicious.

Fruity and refreshing nigori sake🍶. This sake has a smooth mouthfeel with a sharp sweetness and a clean, crisp finish. Serve with yellowtail tataki

At home. About 30 years ago, when I was in my first year of working, my senior took me to a sake party, and this was the first sake I tasted. Now it's sold in many different varieties, and I feel the times have changed. The taste is still the same, it is as easy to drink as water, and it is a delicious sake that reminds me of those days.

Japanese>English

Niigata Sake 🍶. For the record

Japanese>English

The last of the Ohigan parties was the first Kamizenjosui in a long time. I had an image of a more Showa-esque sake, but to my surprise, it really looked like water. It went well with a wide range of foods such as sashimi and Costco high rollers. In other words, it doesn't get in the way. It made me rethink my opinion a little bit. I think I need to update my taste buds by choosing something that doesn't look like a local sake sometimes.

Of all the drinks I've been drinking lately. Quite fruity flavor Very gentle and sweet on the palate Clear with no cloying taste I think I'm going to finish this one as soon as possible!

Japanese>English

At a soba restaurant selected as one of the 100 best soba restaurants in "EAT LOG". I was lost in the many dishes on the menu and decided to go with my favorite "Kamo Seiro" and a decanter of Kanazawa-ya sake. It was recommended as dry, but it was soft rather than refreshingly dry. It was delicious!
