It was the day of Tachibana StampVal, so I went to only Ikoma among many stores participating in the event. I don't always go to other shops😅. I thought I was drinking it for the first time, but it looks like I had it last year at Harukas😅. It has a beautiful taste without a strong sense of maturity. Very easy to drink hiyaoroshi 😋. I've always wondered which came first, former Takarazuka Revue troupe member and singer Koshiji Fubiyuki or Koshiji Fubiyuki, but it seems Koshiji Fubiyuki's brand started in 1991!

I bought it as a souvenir for myself when I went on a trip to Niigata. It tastes beautiful. No bitterness at all. Maybe it's because it's from the fall season? The mild flavor is delicious. I love it!

Since I'm here, I wanted to keep a record of my past drinking, so please excuse the staggered posting: 🙇‍♂️

Japanese>English

Hyogo Prefecture Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi Rice polishing ratio Alcohol 17.5 Junmai sake from Kenbishi. As a Junmai sake drinker, I really wanted to have a Junmai sake from Kenbishi, so I bought it online. The color is light amber. The matured flavor reminds me of chocolate aroma. It is a solid sake with a great posture.

The bitterness is strong, but the sweetness before that is good. The bitterness makes it refreshing and summery. It is good. Good luck to Kinzoku and Oriten.

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

It has been a long time since I found a new sake, so I didn't hesitate to get it. The taste in my memory is hazy, but this time it was a little sweeter. In retrospect, I think it may be the difference between the +5 I drank before and the -3 I drank this time. But I never get tired of drinking new sake with its youthfulness, strength commensurate with its strength, and robust flavor.

Takatsugawa" Junmai-shu from Fusozuru's brewery We ordered this sake from Kotobukiya in Atsugi in January 2023, and it was commented on Kotobukiya's website as "a hidden gem for home drinking". It has been stored at room temperature for 2 years and 9 months since it came to our house, and it has further changed color and has some ooze. At room temperature, it has a matured, savory, and peculiar taste (this peculiarity is also its charm). It is still not hot enough at lukewarm temperature, but when the temperature is raised to 50℃ or higher, it is nice and full-bodied, The caramel-like sweetness spreads and attracts the taste buds. It is a great everyday evening sake, and can be kept at room temperature after opening, and is also suitable for aging.

Last of the day. The richness of the flavor per se is fresh and transitional.

#Nagasaki Goto Town# w river/o/pine/hori/fuku/yama I visited with a customer from Hokuriku. To compete with them with seafood, We consulted with them in advance about "Uchiwa Shrimp" caught in Hirado, Nagasaki. We consulted with them in advance and asked them to secure it for us at the market. We had them as sashimi. It was like a smaller horseshoe crab. They were very pleased 😁. Now for the 🍶... For a moment, I thought it would be dry. I thought it was dry, I felt sweetness. The freshness goes well with sashimi. The shrimp was served in miso soup later 🎉.

Like yesterday, Shiratake-san. I think it was the one with the most intense flavor during the tasting (we received a lot of it, probably... You can still feel the umami and sweetness of the rice. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter and lingers for a long time. (PS: After about 30 minutes of pouring the cold sake into a Kimura glass piccolo, the aroma of ripe melon spread through the glass. After drinking it, it is still melon. It went from rice to melon🍈) My mistake, or rather my assumption, was that the addition of brewer's alcohol would refresh me. But after tasting it at Hakutake-san, it was the opposite... The same goes for this sake. The sardine was grilled with salt, well oiled and grilled to a high strength. The skin is crispy and you can even eat the bones. The flavor spreads and goes very well with white rice. The yeast we were allowed to taste, 1801 and No. 7, was said to be used at the brewery. I believe this is No. 7... I'm sorry if I'm wrong, it's frustrating to drink and not know 🙏.

The only sake brewery in Tsushima. Shiratake Sake Brewery (Former Kawachi Sake Brewery) During the waiting time at Tsushima Airport, I enjoyed Tsushima venison? and enjoyed it, but I was not feeling very well, so I will refrain from commenting at this time. I drank it again at home. I first drank it cold, but it had a strong umami and sweetness from the rice. The sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I could go on and on with just this one... (Come to think of it, I would drink it on the rocks...) (By the way, we were told that it can be served on the rocks or with fruit.) Added -> I remembered that and tried it on the rocks. No way, it became more, rice, this is delicious. It's not the type that stands out for its flamboyance, but rather the rice, so I imagine it would go well with anything that goes with rice when it's hot 💭. I'll fill in additional information when I have that opportunity. 60°(Additional note I wonder if I made it too hot as the alcohol became more pronounced? Maybe it would have been better to warm it up to human skin... I drank it all up, so I couldn't compare any more...
