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.

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👍.

Japanese>English

I have never seen this label before. It is a bit old and peculiar, but overall it is a delicious sake.

This is a full-bodied delicious sake👍

Kumamoto's local sake, Sanzanmura Slightly sweet ginjo aroma A light, sweet mouthfeel with a soft acidity. Like drinking fresh green apple juice I drank too much and my memory is fuzzy I'm not even sure of the notes I wrote at the time😅. Anyway, it's delicious! Sake brewed with sake rice grown by a pesticide-free method called "Koi Farming" in Sanzan Village! Using the carp farming method, carp are released into the rice paddies 🌾🌾 to get rid of pests. A few years ago, I drank Manbo from Kumamoto Kameman Shuzo, which was a sake made using the duck farming method🦆! There are many people in Kumamoto who practice natural farming methods 🫶.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) There is a very good flavor on it, but it also has a light sourness and freshness According to the pamphlet, it is suitable for yakitori and oden. I felt it would be suitable for the autumn taste!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown We do not know the concept, but it seems to be a "cat series" and there are others like "Wind and Cats". Although low-alcoholic, it is not light and has a deep flavor. It was fruity, well-balanced and delicious sake. ❗️

The other day, I saw Kazuhiko Ota drinking Furozumi on TV, and I wanted to drink it for the first time in a while, so my husband bought some at a local liquor store. I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time, so my husband bought it at a local liquor store. When the bottle is opened, there is a faint aroma of rice. The color is slightly amber. It tastes great cold, but if you warm it up to lukewarm, the corners are removed and the flavor becomes rounder. It has a deep taste with the sweetness of rice. It is also good with strong flavored meals. As the name suggests, it's deliciously warmed!

Kokushu fair 2025 in Osaka⑳⑳ Ibaraki Prefecture booth 10 When we say "Shirakiku" in Kansai, the image of Shirakiku Brewery of Daisen Shirakiku comes to mind, but Hirose Shoten in Ishioka City has been using the brand name of Shirakiku since 1805 when the company was founded. ◉Shirakiku Junmai Ginjo The taste is mild and mellow, with a dark sweetness. It has a complex aftertaste. According to bouken's information, it is made from rice Inochinoichi, which is a mutation of Koshihikari. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from bouken-san.

This is my last post of the year😊. Thank you all so much for being with us this year! Please take care of yourselves and let's enjoy another year of good drinks🥰 Now, this sake has an otona taste ✨👠 It's a little dry, with a good combination of flavor and richness, and it's even sexy💖. I wonder if it's the precious rice that makes it so or if the brewer is good at it, it's so good 👏! Next time I come across it again I will definitely buy it 🎵.

I decided to make a last spurt to conquer the whole country 🤣Tottori and Shimane, I don't get to see them very often so I popped a bottle 😂I'm opening it all at once👍. First, Inatahime‼️. The name is "Gouriki rice". The name sounds powerful😁. The flavor comes fast and furious! The sweetness is only slightly perceptible and the sharpness finishes quickly😋. When you drink it with octopus wassa, the sweetness also appears and it is delicious👍.

I ordered this brand because I was somewhat curious about the name, but the last glass was less than half the amount I ordered. It was quite tasty, but I wanted to taste a little more. I hope I will be able to encounter it again.
