Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!

This is the fourth bottle of a set of five souvenirs from a trip to Niigata from my senpai! This one is also crisp and dry: ⁉️ It is both drinkable and gentle.

Japanese>English

I had no idea that a sake brewery had opened a store in Ebisu! I found it by chance and popped in! It has a high alcohol content and a strong sake-like flavor, but it is easy to drink with no aftertaste! It was great with rice and side dishes...

Japanese>English

A souvenir from Niigata. The sake was a draft sake, but for a Niigata sake, it was dense and heavy. It is strong, but still easy to drink without the characteristic aroma of hi-ire.

We had this at Kuriya Sake Bar. It's a great place to stop by if you want to enjoy the real Hakata. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the real Hakata, this is the place to stop by... I don't know what the drinks tasted like, but they were refreshing.

Japanese>English

The aroma is not strong, and the taste is robust, similar to mellow sake. It has an aftertaste that leaves a slight stimulation and sweetness in the mouth, and is not overpowered by strong dishes such as nabe and dote-ni (stewed vegetables).

Japanese>English

The sweetness that spreads on the palate and the refreshing taste, tonight we will be serving it with Akinatai fish.

Serve it cold. It has a mellow, mirin-like aroma of rice. When you drink it, it has a mellow flavor like chocolate with a hint of Western wine. It has been matured and its corners have been removed, It has a robust flavor that is typical of the sake. Full-bodied. It is delicious. Goes well with rich pâté de campagne. Taste 4.5/5

Japanese>English

(1) Warmed sake because of the cold weather. The sweetness of the acidity spreads softly as the sake is heated up, just like the Cross Rising Sun.

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

Bullet❗️Yamagata Day Trip Drive🚙💨③ We were able to visit La Jomon and and Satoya, which was the most important goal of this trip, and Two missions completed☑️ Now, the next mission... If we came all the way to Yamagata, we had to make a pilgrimage to a sacred place ☝️ Our goal was to visit the brewery of the Fatty Generation. But you know what? Dora had a lot of missions before we got there. 　　　　　（Sake shop tour) So all my sightseeing requests were rejected... 🙅‍♂️ I was rejected...🤷‍♀️⤵︎ I bought a bottle of Hanabayo's "Silk" at one of the many liquor stores we stopped at. I'll have a glass of Hanabayo's "Silk" ✨🥂✨. Mild ginjo aroma When you drink it It has a thick and mellow mouthfeel Sweet and fluffy It is full of umami. In the latter half, the sourness comes from the umami. Then it finishes with a kick. After swallowing, the chest is chilled. If you combine it with pear Hmm? It was a bit salty and sour! When I combined it with Satoya's "Tamayura"... It's so good 😘! I loved this pairing 💕 By the way, "Tamayura" is... A famous Yamagata confectionary "Noshibai" made with white bean paste and agar, topped with Japanese raw chocolate. Very delicious 🥰. For lunch, I had a quick ramen (ramen).

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

It was sold in advance at the brewery opening but I couldn't go, so I bought it after the official release. The top aroma is a bit like high cooked rice. It has a gentle sweetness and volume. I was surprised that it was more drinkable than I expected. It is relatively low in alcohol, but the taste does not make you feel so.
