Sashi-Drinking with an old friend at an izakaya after a long time. We chose our first sake. I remember it went down smoothly...

Japanese>English

Yesterday, I went to my favorite izakaya "我" ♡♡♡. I drank a variety of drinks in the all-you-can-drink 1 hour 1500 yen (*^^*) It was crowded, so I couldn't order at a high pitch, so I could only drink 9 kinds out of the 20 or so available...(-_-...) The 6th drink was "Miho". Oroku" and "Gassan" are the most famous sake from Shimane, so I haven't had many of the others. It has a strong sense of rice, but it's not mellow or fruity. I'm sure you'll love it. *I love it!

After drinking Shikishima about a month ago, I became interested in Fukumochi Sake Brewery (Tenga Nishiki) who helped me with Shikishima Sake Brewery! I looked up where they sold it and was surprised to find a special distributor near me 😲. I ended up buying three different kinds! It's like a muscat with a standing aroma! The first sip gives the impression of being rich, but the mouthfeel is clear. I didn't taste much sweetness. The rich taste is followed by the umami of the rice, which is also heavy and robust. There is a slight alcohol aftertaste. The bitterness is also moderate~! If I have a chance, I'd like to try the raw sake.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Tenka Nishiki ✨This is delicious 😋It has a gentle sweetness, a good amount of gas, a moderate aroma, a subtle bitterness in the second half, and a nice sharpness👍. Today I had a seafood bowl with spring sea urchin from Okhotsk, scallops from Eruption Bay, and Miyagi Miyagi salmon! Ahhhh, delicious! ‼️

The king of light and dry taste. It has a clean and refreshing taste. It is suitable for drinking with food. But it is also good for savoring the taste of the hardy rice It is also good for savoring. It is made from Gohyakumangoku at a 45% polishing ratio.

Another bottle after a long time of drinking outside. I like this type of wine, which is light on the palate and has an elegant flavor. The label is nice. Yobitomo Junmai Daiginjo Asahi Shuzo(Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture)

Harima is a sake brewed in Akashi and Uozumi. It has a cool taste with a good umami flavor. It is classically well-balanced. It was a truly delicious sake that went down smoothly with the sake cup.

Japanese>English

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

Japanese>English

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

I didn't drink enough, so +1! So... open one cup 😁. But I didn't really notice the aroma... But when you take a sip, it's very rich and mellow... Well, it's not for everyone, but if you like the fruity and easy-drinking flavors of today, you may not like it... 😰. It's a perfect food sake and can be served with strong dishes, but... it's more for those who want to get drunk after a few drinks 🥴. It's a bit like the Takezuru Junmai in the prefecture...but it might be better if it's heated up 💧. I prefer the one-cup "Honorary Ikezuki" that I drank in the summer. It still had a distinct umami and was less mellow, so I think it's for everyone 😌.

Katakana Masamune ⚔️ The brewer is different from Hiragana Masamune. This one is a harder, dryer strain in comparison. The dryness precedes the freshness of the raw. Lukewarm heating was the best match 😋.

Drinking out. When you drink outside, you accumulate records of what you drank😅. The aroma is almost imperceptible. It is refreshing when you put it in your mouth. There is a slight sweetness, but it gives a light impression. The aftertaste is a bit like a classic Japanese sake. Sake that is not too sweet is also good. Straightforward and simple impression 🍶.

Bikuyo Junmai Shintaro is named after Shintaro Nakaoka, a hero of Tosa at the end of the Edo period along with Ryoma Sakamoto. We dedicate this pure tasting Junmai sake to Shintaro and the sea of his beloved hometown. It is characterized by its mild aroma, light and crisp taste, and pleasant acidity. We recommend drinking it cold for a refreshing drink or at room temperature to fully appreciate its umami. Awards SAKE COMPETITION 2024, Junmai-shu Category, Silver

Souvenirs from Shinshin SY Among several souvenirs, I chose this one intuitively by looking at the label. He brought three four-packs of sake as a souvenir, which is a generous gesture for a business traveler who travels all over the country. I would never have been able to do such a thing with my own pocketbook. When I pour it into the cup, it is more yellow than I expected! Is this a matured type? The aroma is slightly fruity, but has a bitter, mature aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a light sweetness and bitterness, and a moderate umami, but the maturing aroma in the aftertaste is unique. The light sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste are quite a tricky thing to pull off. This strange taste is not one of my favorites, but it is something that makes me want to drink it again. It reminds me of that strange feeling I had in junior high school when I used to prank cigarettes behind my back. It's a treat!

Personal Memo》(Restaurant Series) (Series without detailed description) Comment] It was delicious. Overall Rating】★★★★☆

Japanese>English

Taste 85 Color Colorless and transparent Aroma: The gorgeousness typical of Junmai Daiginjyo and the freshness of the raw ingredients can be felt as indicated on the label. Taste: When chilled, it is raw in a bad way. The gorgeousness of the daiginjo is lost. After a while, when it warms up a little, the sweetness becomes extremely strong. It is interesting to note that the taste changes drastically with the change in temperature. Overall Comment It is a matter of taste, but I feel that the goodness of raw sake is lost when it is a Daiginjo class.
