Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Rice used is Yume-Ginko from Nagoya This sake has a slightly sweet and robust flavor. It is not so fresh, but has a mildly sharp and clean aftertaste. Overall, it has a calmness that makes it a versatile all-around food sake. This is a good sake for ministry.

Japanese>English

This will also be the first time I have dreamed of a hawk. The first aroma is a modest sweet aroma. In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness like ripe fruit and the umami of rice. It also has a sweet overtone like that of ripe fruit. It is similar to Chochin, but darker and tastier. I love Nagoya's sake.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2㉔ Aichi ③. Yamamori Sake Brewery in Odaka, Midori-ku, Nagoya City I think Odaka was pretty much in the city, but I see that Kuheiji and Kami no Ii are also located in Odaka 🤔. I drank Takanoyume Junmai ALL NAGOYA Nama-zake Polishing ratio 60% Yumeginko 17% Sake degree -2 Acidity 2.2 Amino acidity 1.6 FIA-2 (Aichi Prefecture yeast) 1540 yen Nama-shu, but it is colored. Slightly matured The sake's sake and acidity were not disclosed at the event, but they were listed on Jizakaya Kodama's website. It's not the same BY, so it's just for reference. Takanomusume Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Polishing ratio 50%, Yumesansui, 16%, 3844 yen Muscat-like fruity taste. I was looking forward to drinking it because many people are drinking Takanomusume, but I wonder if it was a coincidence.

(The best way to get the most out of this product is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at a liquor store on my way back from a visit to a grave in Fukui Prefecture 🙋I bought it because it was reviewed on youtube by Ishikawa's world famous Hoshitaro. I took it out of the fridge and opened the bottle. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. The flavor of the rice and the pleasant acidity. When the temperature is raised, the flavor and acidity are more assertive than right after opening the bottle. It says that it goes well with Japanese cuisine, and I think this is true. It is a good food sake that does not interfere with food. Sari seems to go well with rice crispy rice 😀.

Japanese>English

I wanted to drink some more, so I changed the restaurant for the third round of drinks. Sari Sari Tangled Hon Nama from Mouri Shuzo! Mild aroma, rich and full flavor, and a sharp sharp taste ✨. The introduction on the internet said it was brewed with the image of a "moon" floating in the spring haze, so it's been a while since I've had a "moon-viewing sake tonight" 🍶🌛🍶.

Japanese>English

A night of drinking at "Fukuna Sakai" with my usual friends. Finally, we ordered the "roasted duck" that we had been curious about, which was quite delicious and similar to the seasoning we had previously had at an izakaya in Kyoto. Now, I've chosen sake from outside of the prefecture, but I ordered a bottle of Fukui sake to finish off the evening 🍶. Sari Junmai Daiginjo The aroma of rice with a hint of acidity, a slight shift from sweetness to umami, and then a sharp finish with a clear rice aroma. The sweetness and umami that is typical of "Sari" and the clean acidity finish off the duck's flavor and fat with a good aftertaste. I had a course, a la carte and various other dishes, all of them were very delicious and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food, so I found a good restaurant ✨I will have to go back in the future

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

July 11 was the full moon of July [buck moon 🦌🌛]. "Buck" refers to a stag, and its horns grow back at this time of year. On that day, I was lying on the futon with my daughter watching the moon peeking through the clouds and the orange-tinged moon [oil moon]. Now, let's go have a moon-viewing party with the moon on the following day: 🌕️🍶 Nagurayama Tsukiyumi Winter Limited Brewing Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu Junmai-shu. I saw a review of "Tsukiyumi" by Matsuchiyo and fell in love with the label. The full moon is intoxicating, but I also like to watch the faint crescent moon when it is fully squeezed 🥰. ［Glass.] Sweet and fruity aroma of rice, juicy flavor and sweetness with a good mouthfeel, and a slight bitterness behind the fresh sweetness that lingers on the palate with a gentle aftertaste. ［Mokkiri] Sweet rice aroma, fresh flavor and sweetness on the palate, followed by a gentle kick and a pleasantly intoxicating, mild aftertaste. The entrée is aji-sashi (horse mackerel sashimi) from Echizen, seared swordfish from Chiba, and chilled tofu with raayu (Chinese red chili oil). The sweetness of this dish is very strong, so it goes very well with the slightly spicy "chilled tofu with chilled chili oil" and the salty "seared swordfish". By the way, the other day I read a newspaper and found a difficult to read surname, Mikazuki (朏魄 = Mikazuki) 🤣.

Salmon Marche Week. Memory is hazy. Records are illegible. Here is the record. Kaga no Tsuki no Heating.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

From a junior 🎁. It's not enough to give it to a drinker. I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it. But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣. It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich. The rice flavor is concentrated. It's a sake you want to drink well.

Japanese>English

We will eat while learning about the history of the tub sales. It has a good aroma. It has sweetness, umami, and overall strength, and goes down the throat well. It is a tasty sake with a punch.

Japanese>English

It is said to be an irregular sake. The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅. The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san. Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character. The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu. I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.

The nearest sake brewery to our house Takeuchi Sake Brewery There have been a lot of rumors in the Kansai sake brewery since last fall 🍶 after a newspaper report in February 🍶. Sake making seems to have been finished by August or September 🍶 We compared the sake we could get our hands on 🍶. Tadai Junmai Ginjo and Tokubetsu Junmai Ginjo had the taste of rice and were delicious 🍶. From now on, Kitajima Sake Brewery will be the closest sake brewery to us 🍶.

This is my first Suehiro❗️ When I went on my trip to Aizu, there were signs everywhere Sake by Suehiro Sake Brewery😊. The aroma is subdued! The taste is more refreshing than I expected. It is a very easy to drink sake with a nice umami flavor👍. It was a well balanced sake that would go well with a variety of meals. It was a delicious sake!

Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store. Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste. This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Japanese>English

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku. The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi. It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity. As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

Japanese>English

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day. It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use. When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see. I don't think it should be chilled too much. If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you. I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while. There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic. Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?
