Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

Kirari 3

Sake from a brewery famous for Ryujinmaru. It has been a very long time since Kirakuri. After Shikishima, tkmts-san was drinking Ryujinmaru, and I wanted to try something of Takagaki-san's sake, so I chose Kirakuri. This time it was an unfiltered raw Nakadori. It has a caramelized taste with sweetness and a sense of maturity. It's just a coincidence that there is a succession of sakes with a sense of maturity, such as Washin, Shikishima, and Kirakuri.

Japanese>English

If you drink Ryujinmaru I want to compare the Takagaki sake brewery ⁉️ So I compared with Kirari 😆. The aroma of this one is also very robust 😳 This one is a little more refreshing. The mouthfeel is quite heavy for a recent sake, but lighter than the Ryujinmaru we drank earlier. The sharpness also has a rummy feel to it and is more refreshing than the Ryujinmaru, but I think this one has more of a cloying aftertaste. I think so. When compared, I think they are lighter, but they are both quite heavy sakes 🍶. Along with the drinking comparison, I also compared Rasho from Ushiku and Yamaokaya from Ushiku. Well, there is no comparison because they have completely different tastes 🤣. Both are addictive and delicious 🍜.

Japanese>English

Another brand of Takagaki Shuzo, which brews Ryujinmaru Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of brown sugar and caramel behind the graininess. Soft and smooth on the palate, with a voluptuous sweetness that spreads and tightens with a refreshing acidity. When warmed to human body temperature, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the flavor sharper. The robust taste makes it a good match for stewed dishes.

It is fragrant, refreshing and easy to drink.

It is mellower (heavier) than the Kamo Goba, but still no sweetness. But it's not too sharp or clingy.

Japanese>English

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

Japanese>English

This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

Sake received at the Sake World Summit. This sake is brewed with Ginbukiyo sake produced in Shiga Prefecture. The acidity and umami of the sake are well intertwined with each other. It was a delicious sake. It is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink. My wine-loving friend who accompanied me also accepted the taste of this sake made from the sake's "nama-hashiroshi" (sake brewed from the same yeast as the original yeast).

Junmai light nigori nama sake I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever. I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.

Purchased 👀 at Sazanami Sake Shop in front of the station during a day trip to Hikone. Beautiful, corner space and friendly staff. It was a nice store 😙. Since I was there, I chose Kazuhiro, a sake I had never had before from Shiga. It was full, slightly sweet, had a delicious rice flavor, and was very drinkable 😋. Paired with sweet ayu fish from Lake Biwa, it was delicious. ❤️ It is indeed a sake from Shiga, a rice-producing region 😇

It doesn't say, but the product name is Kokoromi. 295 bottles of this sake are limited, and from the name, I wonder if it is a test brew type sake. The concept of the Kokoromi saké has been around since last year, and it is said to be "unpolished luxury. This year's theme is "Shitakoya. It is a low-polished, low-alcohol sake. It is a rather gorgeous sake with a gentle taste that is not typical of Shirataka. The rice is Yamada-Nishiki from a special A district, which is luxurious for only 1,300 yen. It is probably only available in the Nishinomiya area, but if you see it, give it a try.

Japanese>English

Shirataka, founded in 1862, is especially famous as the official sake of Ise Jingu Shrine. (of course, I had never heard of it before 😅), which is especially famous as a sacred sake for Ise Jingu Shrine. We were very satisfied with the all-you-can-eat crab, sushi, sashimi, etc. We were very satisfied. The place is Kobe Minato Onsen lotus. The aroma was not too strong, but soft and fruity with no bitterness.

Yo ❗️Manly ministry ️. Such a sake, Kanematsu Shirataka🦅. The harmony of Yamada Nishiki and Miyamizu was austere and deep, beautiful and strong... a good sake😊.

Tonight, we continue our series of firsts with this one, named after the female toji known for her work at Tomikunaga. This sake is brewed with Hachitanishiki and Yamadanishiki. The freshness is alive and well, and the melon aroma (typical of Yamada Nishiki) is faintly felt at first, but then the sharp dryness and acidity overflow into the pineapple aroma (So_1F34D) without the sweetness of Hachitan Nishiki and continue until the finish. It's very refreshing and easy to drink 😋.

It smells firmly of cedar wood. And the taste, too! This is the first barrel sake since Kiku-Masamune's barrel sake! Gentle sweetness. It was delicious and had no flavor.

Japanese>English

We had guests over at the house that day, so we opened a lot of bottles😅. I bought it because I thought it was rare to find once-fired sake in a keg. The top aroma is modest, but when you drink it, you can smell the woody aroma of the barrel. It is fresh and sweeter than I expected. The final taste is spicy. I would like to drink this as it is 🤔.
