At home. Osaka Kawachinagano Amano Sake, the first time I️ had this sake. This brewery is located on Koya Kaido, and the surrounding area has a nice atmosphere. It was my first time to visit there, but it must be a famous place. The taste was quite dry, and it was a taste for adults.

Osaka GET This sake has the pure flavor and fullness of rice.

Amano Sake Grand Sake Party(*) This is Amano sake's summer product. It has the core strength of the original sake and is spicy! I think it falls into the slightly dry category Amano Sake is not seen at all within the range of my activities. I was surprised to see Kuninonaga Junmai Ginjo on sale at a nearby 7-Eleven.

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time. I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The label is very cool. The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations. The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔. I opened it for 2 days and drank it.... It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳. This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up. It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

Japanese>English

On the way back from Yamaguchi, we had 4 hours, so we took the customary izakaya shinkansen (Japanese style bar). This time, we procured our alcohol at a liquor store in Yuda Onsen that has a pretty good lineup, so it's OK👍. Usually, there is no one next to you from the Shinyama exit, even if there is on the way. But this time, there was one person across the middle of the three-seater, then another person in the middle in Okayama, 😱 three people in a row! It's a little tough without space! We started with just a few beers 🍺. Two people got off at Shin-Kobe and just as I was about to start in earnest 😘, two more people got on the train 😱No way around it today........................................! The sake is Kanenaka Iedenzukuri Namaishime Junmai, limited edition! I've had Nakashimaya, but this is my first time to drink Kanenaka? Yellowish sake, strong taste, with a hint of rice flavor. Alcohol 16%, but it seems a bit stronger than that 😝. It's pretty tasty 😋. A list of items on the menu Kirin Ichiban Shibori Kanenaka Gyorokke (fish rokke) Vermicelli Salad with 5 different ingredients Fried quail egg skewer Chicken and burdock root flavored rice Thick vanilla custard puffs That's all for this day 🥳 We'll save the extra drinks for the next time!

On the menu it was Tamitsu, but it says early spring in romaji, so I registered for early spring. It reads bouryu, which means muddy. It is light and muddy. It has a nice pithy feeling. It has a refreshing acidity. This is good for summer camps.

Japanese>English

At Kimura Sake Shop in Tamatsukuri. I was not sure whether to register at Tamatsuko or Early Spring. Rice is Kami no Ho and Koshihikari. It tastes like a slightly effervescent and refreshing ramune. A refreshing taste perfect for summer. It tastes like something you would find at Takachiyo. It won't be left in stores until summer, but...

I really wanted to eat leatherfish, so I opened a bottle from our stock and thought it would go well with the fish. It went perfectly with the fish.

Bacchus and Yamaha 2023, Toyama Eki-naka BAR ^ ^. The fourth drink is Narimasa, Junmai Daiginjo, 2021 Sake Brewing Year. 2 years old sake. Every sake at Narimasa is 100 yen per glass. Too cheap. I didn't really feel the sense of maturity, but it is a slightly dry sake with a long aftertaste.

Japanese>English

The freshness of the sweetness spreads. Sourness comes into play at the end. Scented! Yummy 😋 Very good 👍 lol.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Nanto City Purchased at an antenna store in Toyama Prefecture The aroma is mild, slightly fruity. The overall impression is DRY. The finish is moderately bitter and spicy. It is a good food sake.

At home. First Hiroshima, first Saijotsuru. The aroma seems to have a strong alcohol feeling. The sourness spreads in the mouth, and the sweetness comes a little later. I am impressed by the fact that even a long-established sake brewery is trying to challenge various things. It is a drinkable size, and I drank it up very quickly. It was delicious.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we paired this first sake with Japanese food for dinner. Saijotsuru Jun Dai Black Label Hibi Seishin Nakadori Nama Sake✨. I have not had much luck with Hiroshima sake so far, but I hope this will be a new encounter for you: ☺️ I've never had much luck with Hiroshima sake, but I'm hoping to meet some new people. Is Tachika a characteristic of the rice? Is it the yeast? The aroma is not so strong, but it is a bit of a "chemi" aroma. The taste has the fresh acidity and clear quality of Nakadori Nama-shu, with soft fruit flavors of muscat and lychee, and finishes crisply with a dry taste with a strong sense of alcohol in the latter half. It is perfect as a food sake and does not interfere with meals, but it is also delicious when drunk on its own 😋.

Japanese>English

It's delicious, with a gassy, concentrated tropical-like sweet flavor. It's sweet, but not as floral or fruity as I thought it would be.

Omachi Raw Sake Fresh, fluffy and swollen acidity and sweetness! I can only say it's delicious👍. It's a raw sake I'm drinking it with my wife.

Purchased at a liquor store in Okayama City✨ Asahi and Omachi were side by side and I thought Asahi<Omachi I thought Asahi<Omachi was sweeter and juicier, but the owner said "Omachi is drier, The owner said "Omachi is drier than Asahi", so I chose Omachi. I chose Omachi because the owner said "Omachi is drier". ⭕️ The sweetness and juiciness is moderate, The sweetness and juiciness is moderate, and the acidity in the aftertaste is more pronounced.

A rare sake sold only once a year. It's so precious that it's been hard to open. I finally opened it as a reward for myself. While you can feel the deliciousness of the rice It has an elegant and mellow sweetness. The sake rice is "Yumesansui" which is grown by our company. The rice polishing ratio is polished to 30%. It is expensive, but I want to buy it again this year.

Japanese>English

An autumn-only sake that has been aged for more than half a year in its raw state. It has a rich sweetness and a mild mouthfeel. It is recommended to be served cold, and is easy to pair with meals. The alcohol content is slightly high at 17ºC.

Japanese>English

Junmai Daiginjo aged for 3 years at low temperature. It has a mild sweetness of rice. It has a deep taste. It is a high-class sake as expected. At first glance, the label looks cute. The label is drawn by the calligrapher Fukuse Gakki. The text is Heike Monogatari. This is also tasteful.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Japanese>English

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.

Japanese>English

Best when heated. Sweet and sour like strawberry and clear.

Tochigi Prefectural Association 🍓 Women's Association 🤭😉🤗🐥① Thank you for giving Tsubu a detailed review: 🙏🏻 Please excuse the duplicate review: 🙇🏻‍♀️ short... The toast was Tsuji Zenbei, from the Tochigi sake drinking contest. It is a sake from Moka city, a neighbor of Utsunomiya. 💁🏻‍♀️ It has a soft mouthfeel and a nice, clear, high acidity sharpness...

PREMIUM S 1800ml Ingredients ... Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), Brewer's alcohol Rice used ... 100% domestic rice Rice polishing ratio ... 68 Alcohol percentage ... 16 We had it bundled with Urasato Usu Nigori. I was attracted by the concept of cheap and tasty sake. If you try to get rid of the miscellaneous flavors, you lose the umami, and I wondered how it was possible to keep it. I felt that the umami was more pronounced on the second and third days than on the first day. I wonder if I expected a little too much, but I am curious to know how it is in the local market.

Japanese>English

I've never had this sake before❗️. There are many delicious sake in Tochigi, so I'm looking forward to opening the bottle 😀. The aroma is subdued❗️ I'm not sure if this is the first time I've had it, but I'm sure it will be the last. When the temperature rises slightly, the sweetness and sourness are refined and the aftertaste disappears like water👍. The overall balance of the sake was good and it was very easy to drink😄.
