Dry Sharp Crisp Umami Fizzy Acidity Fresh Chilled

Its fresh aroma and refreshing sharpness make it a delicious and summery sake. Accompanied by homemade croquettes

Japanese>English

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.

A local sake from Futtsu, Chiba... A faint fruity aroma... A sweet bitterness with a strong bitterness typical of local sake! The flavor of the rice soaks in... The bitterness is followed by a sharpness! It's a good sake to drink while eating.... It's similar to Kotobuki Mangame from Chiba. It's a drink to be enjoyed in small quantities. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Chiba Prefecture Antenna Shop, which was open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station. I had drunk Seisen from the same brewery in the past and was not fond of hiyaoroshi, but I was impressed with it. The first aroma was already gorgeous. It is sweet and a little tangy on the palate. The second half is a little spicy. It was more delicious than I had imagined. Overall, I'd say it's fruity and dry.

Aoyama's sweet rice aroma...sweet on the palate...good bitterness and sourness from the first sip! The sweet rice aroma of Aizan...sweetness on the palate...then good bitterness and acidity...Aizan is my favorite because it is a direct descendant of Omachi...The last gibier I drank had a certain flavor...but it was completely different! It's delicious....even if you drink it as it is....no need for snacks....no wonder it's so popular....yummy!

Japanese>English

I finally found Miyoshigiku 🍶, a sake that goes well with the specialty of Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture. The rice is Omachi, my favorite sake rice 😍a sake that goes well with venison, but...I can't get venison! The aroma is sweet and fruity like cider...and the mouthfeel, despite the aroma, is robust! The rice polishing ratio is 60%...so it's like a junmai sake...it's a food sake that goes well with meat dishes! I think it's possible!

Japanese>English

At home. I made progress on my coloring book after a long time. Tokushima Prefecture has been filled in‼️. Aroma full tea, sweet and sour on the palate, and from there the bitterness seemed to stand out.

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 ☺️.

I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

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 😋.

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.

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.

Japanese>English

Spring Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour (2) Dragon Boat Festival🎏 is Kabuto-chan. The second bottle is Suzukabuto. It is junmai ginjo new sake. It is safe to say that this one went out with a real mission. The rice is Ginbuki, a sake rice from Shiga Prefecture, just like the first bottle, Hatsuzakura. It is served cold. It has a slight yellow hue. The top aroma is very mild. It has a juicy aroma reminiscent of fresh bamboo grass, young dried grapes, and oranges. The mouthfeel is round. From the bluish alcoholiness, the juicy orange aroma and acidity are gently developed with a smooth and robust rice feel. The taste is sharp with a tangy, bitter and pungent flavor. The refreshing acidity typical of junmai ginjo-style sake, the familiar rice flavor, and the sharpness of the aftertaste are all nicely integrated. It is a moderate, not too hard-core food sake, and the more you drink, the more you will want another glass. And if you heat it up The contrast between the plumpness of the freshly cooked rice and the tangy bitterness is again delicious. I would like to try it with mackerel sushi as an entrée.
