Mr. Sugiura himself came to a local supermarket and sold a pre-order set with sake lees. It was a really delicious sake, with a slight effervescence, melon-like sweetness, and a subtle taste that lingers on the tongue after drinking it all. However, I preferred the sake lees to the Umenoyado that I usually buy. This was my debut purchase of nama-shu, so I am sure that my choices will be expanding in the future.

Rescued from the fridge! I forgot about it while purchasing 😰. But the taste of Kaze no Mori is not spoiled by such an irregularity: ✌️

S Wind Forest! It seems to be S in Satoyama... (I thought it was Super Kaze no Mori, like Super Kudokyuu 😅) Similar to Kaze no Mori Akitsuho, but with less carbonation and a more complex taste with bitterness as well as sweetness 😄. I'm looking forward to this series 😊.

IWA5 Assemblage3, a sake designed by a foreigner who brews Dom Perignon. It has a beautiful taste, but it tastes like koji, and I wonder if it is akin to Shinmasa's Flax Cat or something like that. But it is delicious. But it's delicious.

This one feels like a distilled spirit, like brandy or whiskey.

The latest IWA5; it is interesting to see how it evolves from year to year and how its character changes each year. It has a nice sweetness and spiciness. It is a sake that matches well with a variety of dishes because it does not have a strong personality.

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

2024 1228 ☆☆☆☆ Sakae Manju Junmai sake 2014 FIFTH VINTAGE 750ml Polishing ratio 55 100% Gohyaku Mangoku produced in Niigata Prefecture Shimizuya Sake Brewery Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture

This is KIYOMIZU from the same hanpukai. The difference is that Maikaze from Gunma Prefecture is used instead of Gohyakumangoku. The aroma is the same as SAKAEMASU, but milder. The taste is surprisingly less cloying than SAKAEMASU. There are not many rice varieties that have a cleaner sake quality than Gohyakumangoku. The sweetness is also relatively strong and full-bodied.

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

It is a deliciously spicy, slightly fruity sake with a hint of sweetness that finishes off with a deep flavor. The taste is classic, but there is something more. I bought this sake at Takata Takata Sake Brewery when I visited Wajima last year. The store was inundated by the torrential rains that followed the earthquake, and although they finally managed to fully reopen for business in late March, the online store has been suspended. The brewery was also severely damaged by the earthquake, and they are working with another sake brewing company in Ishikawa Prefecture. We will continue to pay attention to the reconstruction of Noto without forgetting about it. It is not easy to drink only Noto's sake, but....

(ˊ일ˋ )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and cheer 📣✊. This sake is from Shimizu Sake Brewery in Kawai-cho, Wajima, which suffered a big fire after the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The building was not completely destroyed or destroyed by fire, but there was a lot of damage 😢This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. The aroma is only a little, and the sake is a solid amber color🤔It says it is dry, but it has a refreshing umami taste😊The sweetness and acidity are moderate and the aftertaste is super refreshing😚✨You will not get tired of drinking it and it will go down easy😇 It's a delicious sake that can reset your palate during a meal 🥳👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

I used to drink Honored Kunimitsu Plum Wine, but this is my first time. It has a clear mouthfeel, but the flavor of lactic acid bacteria comes through. I think it's easy to drink, even for those who don't like traditional sake. I haven't tried it warmed, but it's good at room temperature or chilled.
