I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

I bought it at a sake brewery when I visited Kurashiki at the end of September. I did not know that there was a sake brewery in the Bikan Historical Quarter, so I was led into the store. I was asked about my taste in sake, and this is what was recommended to me. The aroma spread from the moment the sake was poured into the cup, the taste was full and thick with rice flavor, and the dry sake disappeared quickly and easily. The 500mL bottle size can be consumed in one sitting, which is just the right size for a sake that changes its flavor as time goes by.

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

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. 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 😚👍.

It is said that the name "Hakkouda" comes from a Japanese poem, "Koma no sato (more horses than people)," which means "a clear spring is springing up in the village of Koma. I thought, "Isn't Hakkouda in Aomori City? But it seems that the western edge of Shichinohe Town, where the warehouse is located, is connected to Hakkouda. When I opened the bottle, I thought it was an adult lemonade. I thought it was adult lemonade, but the flavor was not sour. The spiciness was followed by bitterness, and then the sweetness came slowly. As the name suggests, there was a slight ooze, and the legginess was almost invisible.

Japanese>English

A little sweet at first, then bitter, firm.

The 6th go-around house is Saba in Komasen from Shichinohe town in Aomori: 🐟️ I guess the only people who would recognize Sakuta or Shichiriki no Kura would be locals or Aomori otaku🤓 lol. President Morita was here. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you take a sip, it has a light sweetness and a moderate umami flavor, and it finishes with a refreshing crispness. It was the perfect sake for the pickled sesame mackerel that came with the entrée. It was delicious 🍶🐟️ They currently make 500 koku (they have 3,000 koku in their facilities) with 5 employees and 5 part-timers. When I told the president that I am a fan of Sakuta and Shichiriki, he laughed and said, "It was worth coming here today.

I've had Shizenigo and Masamune, but is this the origin of this sake?　I was most surprised.

A bottle placed in front of me The other is this one, Shizenkogo's Sawayaka! I didn't know there was such a brand! I looked it up on Sake-no-wa, and it was my first time to try it! I was curious to see what kind of sake it was, since it was a honjozo, but it was a beautiful dry sake that didn't feel like it had been alkaloated! I think it's a good sake to be heated up! Dishes lined up on the table one after another! I don't think our generation would be able to finish all the food at this pace! But it was a fun night of drinking and eating at our own pace! extensive knowledge Alcohol content: +15 Sake degree: +15 Acidity: undisclosed Rice used for making sake：Rice suitable for sake brewing Rice Polishing Ratio : Koji 60%, Kake 70% Condition : Fired

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 😋.

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 😇

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!
