Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 38 Alcohol content 16 Capacity 720ml Degree of sweetness/spiciness: Sweet/Hot/Hard How to drink: Cold or room temperature (7-15℃) 720ml, approx. 4,500 yen Matching dish: Beef shank stewed in spicy Japanese style Bought at a brewery in Akashi. A sake that has won various awards. There are many, so check it out yourself! The aroma is fresh and elegant sake aroma. And what is worth mentioning is the taste. You can taste the sweetness of apples and white peaches and the refreshing acidity of pears. Very fresh and fruity. The aftertaste disappears quickly. A refined, fresh, and lush sake. I would like to give my personal impression, so here is my general comment. Overall review ~ S~. If you like sweet, fresh, fruity and refreshing sake, you should try this. I don't want to say "this one", I want you to drink Akashitai. It is a gem that should be enjoyed not only by drinking, but also by rolling it around on the tongue like a wine. It is one of my top five favorite sake. If you like sweet Akashi-tai, please drink it.

Akashi Taihai Unfiltered Honjozo Nama Sake Akashi Sake Brewery Co. alc. 19 degrees, rice polishing ratio 70%. 720ml, about 2000 yen (I think it was about...) Pairing: Bonito Tataki Sake limited to the Visitor Center. Maybe there is an official mail order...? Well... all I can say is that it tastes good anyway. Is it true that it has a high alcohol content...? Is this...? It's so refreshing! It has a smooth and soft sweetness. It is easy to drink, like milk. It tastes great chilled or slightly lukewarm. The alcohol taste is felt because it is a pure sake, but it tastes even better than that. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case, but there is a slight berry-like sweetness.... The aftertaste is also refreshing, and the alcohol content is high, but it goes down well. It is very easy to enjoy. I think this is one of those drinks that even people who don't like alcohol can enjoy. I want to praise it a lot, but... General Comment ~ S~. Delicious, but I personally prefer the Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjo. Akashi-tai itself should be enjoyed by everyone. It's not a habit, it's refreshing, sweet and sour, but I would recommend it to everyone. Akashi-tai should be advertised more to raise its name recognition. Drink it!

Akashitai Unfiltered Junmai Nama-shu Akashi Sake Brewery Co. Rice polishing ratio 70%. alc. 17 degrees 720ml 3000yen (I think it was around ......) Matching homemade smoked pork belly and garlic cheese Sake bought at Akashi Sake Brewery. Maybe seasonal, limited sales route...? It is sweet, sake-like and delicious. It has a full-bodied, umami flavor. The aroma smells a little like alcohol. The aftertaste is very sake-like and alcoholic. Food is difficult to find 🤔. Personally, I think it's for sake lovers to drink sake slowly. Rating ~ B Tasty. Delicious, but personally I found it difficult because I want to match it with food.... I'd give it a B, but that's a bit harsh since it's limited. If you look at the taste alone, it's an A...

#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 🎉.

I also bought nigorigo. It is very sweet and tastes like doburoku. I was told that it needs to be refrigerated, but it was sold at room temperature at an Aeon.

I went to Tsushima. I haven't had Shiratake in 6 years. 6 years ago I commented that it was like drinking shochu (distilled liquor). Now I drink it with a stronger alcohol taste, but I can taste the delicious rice flavor. I think it has grown up a little.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima This is a light flavor. It has a moderate alcohol content, a slight sweetness, and a crisp finish. It was a good food sake that can be drunk without hesitation. ❣️

This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" that I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be a Risshun morning pressing 🍶. The aroma on the nose is fruity🍍 and sweet. When you take it into your mouth, it has a deep, mild sweetness and umami that is typical for a draft sake, and it finishes with a slight astringent taste. It was delicious 🍶✨.

I was aware that it was originally intended to be a classic sake, but as I expected from a sake pressed in the morning of Risshun, it was a fresh, elegant, and sweet sake with a great aroma. I was very satisfied with the sake, which tasted even better than I had imagined.

Refill! Aromatic smell. The aromatic mouthfeel has a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and umami. Although it is rich and has an alcohol content of 19%, there is no taste that sticks to you while drinking it, so you can drink it easily and be satisfied. It is delicious.

Cream, aged smell. The wine has a matured taste, but it is in harmony with the sweetness and is not hard to drink. Full-bodied, umami, stimulated by alcohol and acidity, it is refreshing yet tasty with a strong flavor! I hear that the raw sake smells even better!

Naohiko Noguchi Institute I wanted to try. Smells like caramel and grain. It has a dry, drinkable, honey-like sweetness, a strong flavor, powerful acidity, and a clean aftertaste with enough stimulation to numb the tongue. Delicious. Impact like a whiskey. The official recommendation is to drink it lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius). The warmer it is, the less stimulating it is. It is a great match for fish, and the fish becomes twice as good with the support. I should have bought another kind. Second day. The second day was also good.

Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

Last week, I met up with a local friend for the first time in two years and we went to Ueno Castle together! On the way home, I remembered that Moriki Sake Brewery, which brews Rumiko's sake, is located in Iga City, so I asked them to stop by 🙏. I bought a bottle of Ei, which I've never had before, and was curious about its cool name 😂. The toji (master brewer) happened to be there and we talked to him about a lot of things! It was nice to meet him at the Takashimaya Sake Festival last week 😊.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025④. Sato Shuzo and Kohama booth. This time, all the sake were made with Yamadanishiki. ◉Kohama Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu Nama-shu Fruity aroma. The aroma is fruity, with a slightly bitter chocolate flavor and a rich, mellow flavor. This was my favorite type of sake. Kohama Tokubetsu Junmai Sake A standard sake. It is often served at restaurants that serve funazushi. A good food sake. Junmai Ginjo Namazu Jiyu Read as "ume naru jiyu" (literally, "while being born, it is free"). Nama-zake. I think they said they use a yeast that produces high malic acid. Pleasant acidity with a fruity taste. They also make ume (plum) sake and a blue colored sake that is a ginjo-shu.
