Congratulations to Okinawa Shogaku for winning the championship. I am looking forward to next year's draft. Today we will have the Urare Shinigami: ☠️ This is the first Reaper at home. The font feeling is amazing, isn't it? The aroma is delicious vanilla and fruity grape. On the palate, there is deliciousness and sweet acidity, and the spiciness disappears after a while. Overall, it is well-balanced. It is delicious with sushi. It is the best match for oily sashimi. Delicious✨

Japanese>English

It has a subtle acidity in the aftertaste. A gentle sake that does not resemble its name at all.

Japanese>English

It's a straight-up sake! It has a strong flavor that is good! Also, I have actually visited the factory, and it's nice to see how much they care about handmade products 😋.

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

101 check in ✅Personal recommendation for a brewery 😆Denemon: ❤️ After 2 years? I finally came across it ✨. If the name of the sake rang a bell, you're right 👍It's an amazing sake that has taken the name of a famous book. Denemon is a sake brewery brewed by just one person. The name comes from Michel Carouge's famous book "The Bachelor's Machine," which is cited as the bible of the master brewer. It is also related to Marcel Duchamp's "The Bride Naked by Her Bachelors, Even (a.k.a. The Big Glass)". When I think about the sake rice "Aizan," I can see the image of this sake being brewed with love while loneliness, loss of humanity, and the desire for barren love cross the mind 🧐. Today we are going to start with our special bird ❤️ no doubt👍and our favorite gateau rusk🥰Carouge & Duchamp, so it's like a French 🇫🇷... ❤️ By the way, this "bachelor" is not sweet at all 🤘 it is rather tangy and spicy, and has a sharp taste, leaving a bitterness that is typical of Aizan. But it is not too alcoholic, and is indeed easy to drink 🧐. When paired with the rusk with pomegranate on top, the sweet and savory flavors are gradually felt. The flavor really changes depending on the food.

Japanese>English

Elegant taste, light without clutter, but mouthfeel with a touch of alcohol at the end (15.5°). The fullness is considerable, and on the second day the mouthfeel changes quite fruity, different from when the bottle was opened! (melon and pear❓) The cool taste makes it a delicious sake that you will not get tired of drinking.

It arrived just a few minutes ago. This morning, the sake was pressed early in the morning. It seems I forgot to buy it last year, but this year I reserved it and bought it. I couldn't stand it, so I had a cup in my inoguchi. I love Tomikunishiki, but this year's Risshun morning pressing has a little acidity, a clean throat, and not much of an aftertaste. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

I went to the Tomikunishiki New Sake Festival yesterday and today. I bought a bottle of Shiboritate and sake lees this year too. I opened the bottle right away. This year's Shiboritate seems to be more fruity than usual. It's delicious. I love Tomihunishiki after all❤️.

Japanese>English

It's that time of year again ♪ We were able to get enough plums for two bottles, so we have two this year. One of them, actually I couldn't pickle plums last year because of the bad harvest, so I left it, but I hope it's okay. Basic shape and refreshing. I'm looking forward to winter ☺️.

The last of the day. Medium-bodied, it gently conveys umami. As a food sake.

Japanese>English

This is a sake that the young brewer of Kanbokuto Shuzo challenged to make Junmai Ginjo sake with Gin no Sato and No.7 yeast. It is said to be a limited edition. It has a fruity aroma, a moderate acidity, and a freshness and sweetness that is easy to drink. I often visit the Kanbokuto Sake Brewery and have this sake as my personal favorite sake, but compared to the other sake on sale, the taste is so different that you would think it is from a different brewery.

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. ❣️

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be pressed on the morning of Risshun 🍶. 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 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

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.

Since ancient times, people used to throw beans on Setsubun day👹. Before we know it, the custom of eating ehoumaki (rolls wrapped in rice wrapped in eho-maki) has has taken root. Tonight is the moon after the rain. When I open the door, I hear a cheerful sound. The feeling of tight gas 🫧. Aroma like sweet sake Clean sweetness and sharpness ⚡. When you mix the lees, the lactobacillus feeling becomes more intense at once ✨. Light, low-alcoholic taste, so you can gobble it up 😋.

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Japanese>English

There is no mention of it, but it is probably nama sake. It is not labeled as Nama-shu, but according to the information on the Internet, the label on the back of the bottle says it needs to be kept chilled, which means it is Nama-shu. Am I right? The rice is Ginbukiyo and Nihonbare. It also looks like a raw sake. It does not feel as spicy as the sake level, and although it is spicy, there is a good balance of sweet and spicy. The taste is light and refreshing. The spiciness finishes with a lingering sweetness. There is a good amount of graininess.

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑫ Mochizuki Shuzo and Suzukabuto booth. The youngest toji in Shiga Prefecture who used to not talk much, but this time he was able to talk a lot. ◉Jusakabuto Special Junmai Namaishu A full-bodied, mellow type of sake with a unique aroma on the nose. The aroma on the nose is unique, but not unpleasant. ◉Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire The aroma is clear and calm, a little loose and lackluster. It has a pungent aftertaste. ◉Juzukabuto Junmai Ginjo Namaishu Fresh, with a firm umami and a little bit of sake. It has a freshness to it, a firm umami, and a slight sake-like quality. The Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu and the Hi-ire Shu have almost identical labels, but there is a small note on the label saying that the sake has been hi-ire and needs to be stored cold. It seems that after Corona, they started storing more regular sake and now they are reducing production. They haven't raised the price yet, but they said that from now on the situation will be such that they will either sell it for rice or make it to earn money for rice. I'll have to drink and support them.

At Ya-Ya in Kobe. This is the first time to drink Neko Masamune since it was transferred from the defunct Omi Sake Brewery to Maihime🐱. It has a sweet taste with a slight graininess from the freshness. It tastes a little messy, but it's not that bad, right? Might prefer it to Omi Neko Masamune 🤔. It's quite fruity and has a pungent and alu taste, but maybe it's good? It's sweeter the longer it's been open.

Good evening! From the past history, I'll upload the sakes I drank at #Ginura Sake Bar. This time, it's "Senshin". This sake is made by Asahi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture. It is 5 years old, but it tastes so beautiful that I felt it was boring for the price. I don't know how I would feel if I drank it now. I would like to drink it again at Gin Kura. (^O^)

Japanese>English

This is my second post tonight, back home to my parents 🙌. Kubota Kenshin Junmai Daiginjo 2021BY✨ I'm opening a bottle to feel a traditional sake for the first time in a while: ☺️ The rice used is 100% Takananishiki, and the polishing ratio is higher than that of Manju, which is a high-end line. The aroma is of the light, dry Niigata sake of yesteryear, but with a hint of matured sweet grain 😊The taste is a perfect complement to Japanese food as a mid-meal sake, with a sharp aftertaste, but with a soft, full-bodied rice sweetness that is delicious in its own right 🤤.

The aroma is fruity and the taste is clear as water.
