Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

Gorgeous fruity aroma, crisp and refreshing. We enjoyed it while thinking about the spring water of Mt. Fuji. ‼️

I got to know the name from "Yuru Camp". It has a slightly dry and refreshing taste. Enjoy it while watching the closing ceremony.

Junmai Ginjo sake using only Gohyakumangoku from Ishikawa Prefecture. Even though it is an unpasteurized sake, it is refreshing! It's a sake for a meal.

unfiltered nakakumi ikebi The aroma is subdued and different from fruity. Dry and slightly spicy, with a crisp aftertaste. Hardy sake with a delicious taste🌾 Also delicious😊. The raw rice is 100% Hukunohana from Izushi, Hyogo.

I bought some sushi with my favorite boiled conger eel besides western style snacks at the department store.... I opened the bottle thinking it would go well with this dry sake... ^ ^ The aroma is of rice with a harsh taste ⁈It's hard to describe σ(^_^;) It has a dry and sharp taste, but I thought it didn't go well with the sweet sauce of conger eel (T . T). T) It's difficult to find the right marriage (>_<)

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

The best way to eat さてさてさて +. I bought this at a roadside station in Shirakawa-go😙. I drank it chilled. I'm sure you'll love it!

Japanese>English

Rice used is Hidahomare This sake has a rich, dry taste that is typical of junmai sake. It is smooth on the palate, but the sense of rice spreads immediately, followed by a strong pungent and astringent taste. The aftertaste is also long and powerful. It is a sake that is very drinkable and can be served with strong dishes.

Japanese>English

Hida Takayama, Sake Brewery Nonbei Festival The third restaurant is Hirase Sake Brewery of "Kusudama". This place is a little far from the old streets. You can see the chimney in the back, but the site looks spacious. The store inside is only for sake tasting and sales, so it is only for customers who are looking for sake. Let's take a look at the sake tasting. Well, it has a mild taste and goes down softly and smoothly. It is delicious. It's amazing that it has been in business for 400 years, isn't it?

At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had it fresh out of the fridge and chilled. It's a delicious sake that's easy to drink. If you drink it after a while, you can enjoy a slightly different aroma and taste. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

It has the freshness of freshly squeezed rice, the acidity unique to Yamada Nishiki, and a slightly sour taste. It is not suitable for beginners...it is a traditional Japanese sake...

Japanese>English

October 31, 2023 Japanese sake and food at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. I was served a recommended brand of dry sake. The fourth glass was Izumo Fuji Junmai Ginjo Super Dry. It was the first time for me to drink this brand. It is my first time to drink this brand, but I personally like it because of its clean and beautiful taste. I personally like it very much. I think it is the best one I have had so far. I think it was the best among all I drank this time. This is the first time I have had this brand, but I personally like it very much. The three kinds of delicacies (ayu fish Uruka, oysters in salted malted rice, and konokawa), hiretu, and konokawa were served. (ayu fish Uruka, oyster in salted malted rice, and konowata), and ray fillet, and rare cutlet of beef. I enjoyed it with a variety of dishes.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

The rice used is Asahi rice produced in Okayama Prefecture. This is a good food sake that can be drunk easily. It has just a hint of sweetness, with a crisp, bitter and spicy finish. There is nothing to hold you back, so you can't help but drink it. This is one of the several bottles I purchased from Doroki Sake Store, including the Koei Kiku, under the guidance of MAJ. I would like to thank you again for the good sake ^_^.

Japanese>English

The third cup is "Ooga" jungin non-filtered raw! (First picture, left side) The mouthfeel is mild and gentle, a far cry from the dryness of the previous section. The strength of the original sake, the sweet and delicious flavor of the rice, and a hint of cream-like aroma are very appealing!

Japanese>English

The aroma is gentle, with just a hint of umami and acidity on the palate. It is dry and crisp with no lingering aftertaste. It's a good sake to drink while eating! It's also good to drink as a finish after drinking something else😊.

The aroma is fruity, but not overpowering. The color is beautiful and the taste is sour, but it is dry, so it is very refreshing and delicious. Today I dare to drink it without a side dish. The alcohol content is high at 20 degrees, so be careful not to drink too much😊.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. There were so many hiyaoroshi that I had to decide which one to buy ✌️ 720ml ¥2,145 It's the 2nd day of the party! Here's a quick comment! The aroma is slightly fruity💕. The color is golden and beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth💕 The sweetness and umami of the rice comes to the forefront, but you can also taste the sharpness💕 It is a very beautiful sake without any unpleasant taste 💕 My wife also appreciated the taste 👍 Today's pairing is Shime saba (mackerel) and sashimi 💕 how could it not go well together 😊. It's a perfect match for my grandchildren and the party ✌️.

Oh no, the UI has changed too much and it's hard to operate. It's hard to get used to it. I forgot to give you the drink I drank when I went on a business trip. It has an apple-like aroma. Dry and full of rice flavor. Very tasty with cod chrysanthemum ponzu vinegar as a side dish.
