Shizengosawayaka 3

Honjozo, domestic rice, 60%, 15%. A refreshing aroma and mouthfeel. Slight sweetness with a calm aftertaste.

Japanese>English

This time I found this one on sale at the drugstore! My favorite Shizenigo! I was intrigued by the word "dry" and bought it. The aroma is apple-like, which is typical of Shizenigo. It has a fruity aroma even though it is a honjozo. The sweetness is moderate, and the bitter sourness comes through with a nice crispness. It is perfect as a mid-meal sake. It is a sake that accompanies and does not interfere with meals. I was impressed that such a sake is sold at drugstores! I realized once again the high level of Fukushima sake.

I worked hard during the Golden Week holidays, and now it's my day off! Working is the best! Today I went to a liquor store. I was so happy to be able to buy everything I wanted! I'm a repeat buyer of "Shizen-go Sawayaka". It's still delicious! I really respect Oki Daikichi Honten. So in the afternoon, we went touring on a motorcycle. The destination was, of course...

Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City. Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on. This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake! This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.

Private brand of Fujimura Sake Brewery in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture The sake is named after a local poet and the owner of the brewery. We bought a 300ml bottle to try, as it is a traditional brand that has been commissioned to be brewed continuously for 26 years. The ginjo aroma is mild, and you don't even notice it on the palate. But I did not expect to find such a beautiful sake in Yamaguchi. Toyo Bijin, Tenbi, and other gorgeous brands are popular, This sake is a perfect representative of Yamaguchi as a food sake.

Yamaguchi Prefecture booth (3) If you see a brand you have never had before, you are sick of not being able to stop drinking it. ◉Santouka Junmai Ginjo This one also has an impressive sourness and acidity, which later tightens up with acidity, followed by a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. I knew I was going to get too drunk and feel dangerous, so I decided to use a dispensing cup. It was nice to be given a paper cup (vomit container) to hang around my neck.

Hankyu Oasis in the basement of Hankyu Sannomiya Station has a full lineup of Japanese sake, including draft sake, 300ml and cup sake. Surprisingly, it is easy to drink. It has a bitterness at the end, with a hint of gruffness. It's easy to drink and tastes better than most of the sake in cups with alcohol.

Kochi sake swamp. I was getting quite drunk, but this is Okada Izura, also known as Manslayer Izura! This is another light, dry sake with a strong rice flavor. This sake seems to be limited to the Kochi Liquors Club, but it was recommended by the proprietress! The saltiness of Shimanto River's Gori seems to be an endless loop.

Well, well, well. It is fresh and delicious, partly because it is a draft sake. It has a strong rice flavor because it is from a slightly higher region in Niigata. I like that.

Sake from the 100 rice bales brewery. This is my first time drinking sake from this brewery and I'm looking forward to it 😊. It has a delicious rice flavor, a little sweetness and freshness, but also surprisingly sharp and tasty. Thank you for the food 😆.

I purchased this sake at the Goryonokura store in Hakodate, which I visited last week on a trip to Hokkaido. This sake is from Goryonokura, a sake brewery in Hakodate of the Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery. I drank it in a sake cup that I bought as a souvenir at Kitaichi Glass in Otaru. The sake tasted delicious and was easy to drink. 1980 yen

Specifications are the same as for the raw sake. It is a modern, refreshing Junmai sake that you will never get tired of drinking! I think it's also cosmetically pleasing: ❣️

I had never seen this brand before, so I couldn't resist buying it. This is a sake brewery in Shunan City, Yamaguchi. There are about 1,400 sake breweries in Japan, so it's no wonder that there are breweries and brands that I don't know (there are more than 1,000 here). Even if I were to drink one brand every day for the rest of my life, it would take me almost 30 years (^_^;) It's simply impossible. This was an aside. The moment you put it in your mouth, the aroma is distinctive. I wonder what it is, is it the aroma of rice? In total, the aroma is fluffy, the taste is tangy, and the sweetness is warm. I think it's delicious.

It's a sweet and savory schwa 🍶. I think this is the second bottle on repeat here: ⁉️ It's fire-roasted, so it's great to take with you ✨. I opened a bottle of this excellent stuff at home 😆💦. It's Monday and I'm already tired fight❗️
