180ml Nishinoseki bought at my usual liquor store. My first Oita! I thought it would be sweet, but the aftertaste is a bit spicy. But it's delicious. It tastes like I'm drinking it.

Japanese>English

We stock sake from Kyushu, which we don't have much of locally. The first one is Nishinoseki. The aroma and taste are quite hard. The first punch worked on my hungry body. It made me hot from the back of my throat to my stomach.

Welcome off-line meeting for Jay & Nobby (5) It has been almost an hour since the start of the party, and we have about 30 minutes until the last order of drinks. The fifth sake in the lineup was this one, which boasts the lowest sake level of -14. Nishinoseki Nigori Sake. Aroma of rice and malted rice, sweetness reminiscent of amazake, and bitterness after a sharp taste. The pour is smooth and easy to drink 😁.

(o^-^o)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I had a bottle of Ippongi from Fukui Prefecture 😀. The aroma is mild, but the taste of the freshly squeezed sake is dry at first, then you can taste the umami of the rice. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great bottle of wine.

Japanese>English

THE sake😊. It's dry and has a nice sharpness, so I have it as a food sake👍 This is the kind of sake that doesn't interfere with the food ✨.

The aroma is not very strong, but you can feel the fruity scent from a distance. The mouthfeel is a little sweet, but it is very refreshing and easy to drink. Today's pairing is deep-fried lotus root. You can feel the flavor of sake without disturbing the meal. I might like this sake from Shizuoka. ^_^

Japanese>English

It doesn't say it, but according to the official instagram, it's unfiltered raw sake. He requested to drink something similar to Okura (Asahi direct pumping), and I thought this would be the one with the similar taste. It's not as sweet as Okura, but the acidity is effective and it's juicy and delicious.

Japanese>English

My fridge is back, so I'm back to buying booze! My impression is that it's quite spicy. Also, the alcohol smell is too strong for me. The flavor is reminiscent of flowers. Overall, it's a unique type that I've never had before.

☆☆☆☆☆ The third bottle was Sugi Nishiki. Kaiun, Eikun, and Hana no Mai were also available, but I chose a sake I thought was new to me. It is rather crisp and dry. I can smell a little alcohol, but I think it is a clear dry sake.

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.

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got my first three stars 😀. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we have a little quirky one for you 💁. Mitsurensei 15th Anniversary Special Sake 5 Years Aged Shiga Watabune Rokugou ✨ H29BY=2017BY and from 2022.7 when shipped, it's aged 5 years, but it's now aged 6 years with +1 year in our house😅. I'll try it as an after-dinner drink after dinner 🍶. It's colorless and clear when you pour it into the cup. The aroma is completely old and matured, with hints of dried grapes, brandy, chocolate, and cacao...it's just mellow. The taste is also bitter with bitter chocolate sweetness, followed by alcohol 😋. Six years of aging is no joke 😎.

Japanese>English

I will drop a second one this evening. This is the second of the three stars limited edition extravaganza✨ This time it's the Arcburg strain, reprint yellow yeast. The aroma is not flashy at all, it's a traditional sake with a graininess and beaniness, but the taste is a complete turnaround, with bitterness and sourness from biting the peel of citrus fruits, and it's quite dry with the alcohol running down the nose, perfect for a mealtime sake 😋. The dryness of the reissued yellow malted rice is not a date: ‼️

2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵‍💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

Japanese>English

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.

This is my first "Sasaichi"! It is less umami than the previous "Kai no Kaiun", but it is more acidic, which makes it twice as easy to drink ✨. I'd like to try the "Tadashi" someday!

I got some black soybean edamame and remembered that I don't have any sake at home, so I bought some sake from a big store. As it says, it's dry and spicy ☺️. It's easy to drink.

Very ordinary cup of alcohol (´¦). You can taste a good sweetness with no added sugar. I'm happy with the taste, which is very typical for a cup of sake. It still tastes better when heated. It's not that unique, just a good cup! This is the kind of sake I like! This is the kind of sake I like! Mr. Mitamura went to Kiyotsuru! He was drinking old sake that you can't usually buy!

Refreshing, clean, dry 🍶. Taste of summer 🌞🍶. Easy to drink✨✨✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

I bought a bottle of Ayagiku's raw sake because it seems to be rare. I bought it at Okura Sake Shop in front of Tamatsukuri Station. It is a new store opened this year. They seem to carefully select and handle brands that are not found in the Kansai region. They have a wide selection of sake brands such as Rairaku, Kinshi Morinori, Shonosato, Hizen Kurashin, Chitose Mori, Kikunoi, Hakuryu (Fukui Prefecture), Ayagiku, Hanashimi, Zoka, Morinokura, Rokkasen, Tenzan, etc. Sake made with Sanuki olive yeast. Fresh, rich, sweet and acidic. The acidity is impressive, but there is also a bit of spiciness in the latter half. It has a light mouthfeel for its alcohol content, perhaps due to the acidity. It does have a slightly tropical flavor.
