Special Junmai Sake Kura-Nama Sake rice: Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki Yeast: Hitachi yeast Rice polishing: 55 Alcohol: 16% abv. Purchased at the souvenir shop at Hitachi Station during a business trip to Hitachi. Ibaraki Prefecture has a surprisingly large number of sake breweries. The flavor has a slightly subdued, clean rice aroma. It has a freshness typical of nama-zake, and since it is not so assertive, it seems to go well with anything as a mid-meal drink.

Japanese>English

It is fresh and refreshing, but unexpectedly has a rich and delicious flavor afterwards. The balance of sourness and bitterness is also good!

Japanese>English

I purchased the light nigori of 2024, the light nigori of Fukushin, which is shipped every spring, at this time of year when the rainy season is about to begin. It has a full and deep flavor. It has a slightly fruity expression, but the "arashibari" effect and the alcohol content of 16% must be responsible for the rich and powerful flavor!

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...

Japanese>English

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😄.

(^_^)🍶🍶🍶+ GW Tohoku Tour (2) 🍶Drinking set 🍶 at Izakaya 🏮 in the basement of the station 📐 with Definition Mountain Fried Tofu 📐. I think it was a clear and dry sake that goes well with food 🤔.

Japanese>English

A bottle given to me by my predecessor, who recently reached retirement age. He said it was a thank-you for the 3 kg of new rice he delivered every year during his tenure, which he called a "taste test. Rice has become sake! The nose has a fruity ginjo aroma, but the fragrance is subdued. The mouthfeel has a gentle, round sweetness and a satisfying umami. The fruity feeling that passes through the nose and the mild acid bitterness that comes at the end disappear slowly and gently. I had an image that Houyo was not my favorite, but this is good! I can say that when it comes to high-class wines, this one is genuinely tasty. Thank you very much for the sake!

Japanese>English

It is said to be the oldest brewery in Miyagi Prefecture. Fresh and mellow. The acidity is strong. I wonder if it is better to let it sit for a while after opening it. As expected, sweetness appeared on the 3rd day. I wonder if Houyou tastes better on the third day 🤔.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

Japanese>English

This is a summer nigori that I buy every year. I buy it every year - I know it's good. And every time I buy it, I spend 10 minutes struggling to open the bottle, Gasp! This year I was able to open it easily. First, let's take a sip of the supernatant, It's delicious, weakly fruity, with just the right amount of spiciness. I don't care about the fizz, it's just a shake, I hope it doesn't blow out, The result is that it did not blow out. The result was that it didn't blow out, But there is still sedimentation at the bottom. Delicious - finished in 2 days, The last sedimentation part was tasty with more flavor and more umami. I felt like I had gained something by being able to taste three different levels of deliciousness. I took a break from beer today and am now breaking in my bike. I saw the sea in the San-in region.

Japanese>English

I bought it again this year, I used to go to the sake brewery every year to buy it, But this year, I was too busy with work to go to the brewery, I remember that last year, the liquor store where I often buy sake sold it, So...., I visited there because it is close to my office, Are you going to put summer sake in this year? I ordered some, but it didn't come, The owner calls the brewery on the spot, The owner called the brewery on the spot. What's this year's? It's a little bitter, A little bitter? It doesn't linger, so I'll go for it, It's summer, It's eel bowl. If you buy eel on the day of the Ushi, it is expensive, so I saved the date, And I had accumulated points at the supermarket, Today, we had wine instead of beer. It is a wine made in Sera Town, the town of Ekiden. It has a strong grape flavor and is very tasty.

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

Here is the fourth drink at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Hizen Kurashin Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire It has sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity. It is more umami than sweetness, and the acidity and sourness support each other.

Japanese>English

Kashima City HAMA BAR section is still going on😊. Here is the 7th cup in total! Hizen Kurashin Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Hi-ire The last time we drank this was Omachi, but this one is made with the best rice in the sake brewing world, Mohansei! It is ama, delicious, bitter, and sharp! It also has plenty of acidity! It tastes as good as you'd expect.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Osan Nishiki It is not a simple light dry taste, but you can feel a little sweetness in the bitterness and spiciness. The flavor is just like the name "Super Dry", and there is a part that makes you think "high alcohol content❗️", but it is not spicy, and you can feel the tenderness. Also, there is a freshness that can be imagined from the color of the label, and it is a sake that is easy to drink with good sharpness. Naturally, I recommend it as a food sake❣️.

Home Drinking with Neighborhood Drinkers We can't drink with a big group yet, but... A little drinking party. This is a sake from a nearby brewery. It is a sake with a good taste.

Japanese>English

Aroma of rich sake. Somewhat bitter and bluish as well. Aroma like mellow, aromatic, apricot liquor. The flavor has body. In the latter half, the acidity is very tight. It has a firm umami taste. It goes well with pickled bonito, but I would like to try it with something sweeter. I would like to try it with shigure-ni-nimono (simmered bonito). Degree of preference ☆3/5

I wonder if it tastes old-fashioned for the label😅. It has a good flavor, but it's also very sour: ❗️ I think it's difficult for people who don't like sake 🙏. The sweetness increases as the temperature goes up. I would like to try it warmed up next time. ❗️ It tastes like it would go well with strong flavored food or oily food 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tatsusen is a first. The rice called "Kyo no Hana No.1" is also new to me. The name alone might make you think it is Kyoto rice😅. It seems to be a phantom rice revived by the Tatsusen brewery. Is the aroma a little peculiar? It has a beautiful and elegant fruity taste. It's hard to describe its complexity. It is a light sake. There is a strong sense of extract and grain. The acidity is strong at the end. It has a caramel-like taste. The overall impression is dry. Fruity and dry?

Japanese>English

The third shot was Tatsuzumi, Sashiu-san's gift sake. It's so bitter, isn't it? Tatsusen! It is said to be a special blend of Junmai-Nigori and Jungin-Nigori, so I imagined it to be cloudy and heavy, but contrary to its appearance, it is light and easy to drink with a light gasiness and sweet acidity from a clear dry base. This is also a horse! Thank you very much for the meal!

Today, too, I wanted to drink. I went to Tobu Ikebukuro for the first time in a while 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️. In the event corner, I found 🟪The pink label stands out! It's a sake from Kyoto, isn't it⤴︎︎? I'm going to choose this one 💁🏼♂️️. Open the bottle! ✨Pon~✨and a surprisingly good sound! Then, a sip... the rice flavor from the mouthful of acidity ⤴︎ and the aftertaste, great! It's delicious 😋! Shall we continue to watch 24 hours TV?

@ Daikokuya Liquor Store Maniacal selection of products, I thought I would go back. Rice used is Kame-no-o. It has a gaseous taste with a crisp and clean aftertaste. It is gorgeous. The sweetness is a little strong, but it goes in smoothly. It was a solid and delicious sake ❗️.

Japanese>English

Nanamaru's Nama Sake 🍶. As always, a bold drink! Plenty of umami stored in the bottle The strong acidity also tightens the taste. Sake that is quite drinkable! It has been a long time since I wanted to drink it. I got the news of new sake! I will enjoy it slowly.

It's been quite a while since I've had a Niaokaya 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 🤔In the mouth, it has a freshness that is typical of unadulterated sake😊The umami of rice🌾 spreads quickly 😚The aftertaste has a slight alkali feeling, but the sharpness is good👍 I thought it was a sake that could be served with food or on its own 🥳✨.

Japanese>English

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Koshi finished early yesterday and I got a cup of Gen 😋. The aroma after opening the bottle is The Sake 💪🏾 When you drink it, you can really taste the rice🌾 and it is a crisp dry sake with a good balance of acidity and umami 😊. It is a strong style of Japanese-Sake 😚👍Cup sake is very useful to make up for the lack of alcohol content🥳☝️

Dry Wakatsuru Gen Junmai-shu Shiboritate 300ml Rice polishing ratio: 67 Alcohol content: 16%. Purchased at the Toyama Airport store ^ ^. Gen's Shiboritate is only available at this time of the year and you don't see it very often. I had it in the waiting room with onigiri (rice ball) since I was going out for a short trip today and did not drive.
