8.5 points (Wife 8.5 points) Sake Brewer : Ohga Shuzo, Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture (Fukuoka Prefecture's oldest brewery) Rice : Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 60 Alcohol percentage : 16 Sake Degree : Undisclosed Acidity : Not disclosed A gift from a friend in Fukuoka who came to Fukuoka Airport to see me off (purchased at Todoroki Sake Shop). Slightly melon-like finish The same subdued, fruity aroma as the first sip, with a hint of vanilla and a hint of azuki beans, soft sweetness and umami of rice spreading with a refreshing acidity, and finishing gently with a hint of bitterness and a slight spiciness from the alcohol. Elegant and well-balanced, it is easy to pair with meals, and is also delicious on its own. My friend's nickname is Tama-chan and his wife's maiden name is Izumi, so he chose this sake as a pun. It went well with Italian-style grilled salmon with foil, stewed sweet potato, chilled tofu, and squid cod roe.

The oldest sake brewery in Fukuoka, Ohga Shuzo, has created a GABAGABAHEY raw sake. At the first sip, the fresh and rich rice flavor typical of nama-shu spreads. It is certainly a sake that you might drink with the governor (^-^), and it is delicious. It seems to be a limited sake, so if you are interested, please come early~.

Japanese>English

The fourth cup is a "Tamadezumi" unpasteurized sake! (First picture, left side) The sweetness is even richer than the previous "Ooga Unfiltered Nama"! However, as you savor it, the acidity and pungency slowly come from the back, along with a hint of shiitake mushroom-like aroma. The coffee milk-like aftertaste is impressive ✨.

Nakasendo Walk (1) Nakasendo (mountain trail) walk after a year and a half On the first day, we will walk about 10 km from Wada-juku to Kasatori Pass, beyond Suwa. You can enjoy the townscape with many places that still remain, such as the main lodge. Wisteria, azalea, and cherry blossoms were also in bloom. I bought this at a convenience store. A 1 gou PET bottle with a cap that turns into a cup. It's classic, tasty, refreshing, and slightly spicy. It goes down quickly and easily 😆. Next to it is a craft beer from Karuizawa! Fruity, refreshing and delicious 🍺.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mellow and full of sake flavor. The mouthfeel is rather refreshing. Slightly dry. Slight acidity and rich umami. 2.5/5

Closing out the drinks we had last weekend 😆. Smell good 😌. The Mikotsuru was quite rich and sweet, so I felt a lot of sourness when I took a sip 😳. The more I drank, the more umami and the sourness and aliveness were also good 👍 I can feel the strong aroma of the barrels! Is this a dry wine? and Nobby Well, I guess it's umakuchi. It is labeled 18 degrees, but you don't feel it. I thought it would have been better if it was warmed up to lukewarm 🤔 I thought so later, but I finished it before I realized it 😆. But I drank a little too much from Thursday to the weekend 😓. I'll enjoy a quiet rest day for the first half of this week 😮💨.

Tonight, I'm opening a bottle of the first bottle of Masamune instrument for the weekend dinner because it's so good it's about to run out 💁. Shikishima Light Nigori Nama Sake 2022BY Back on the nigori road a bit, but again it's almost a year old 😅. When I opened the bottle, I could hear the gas escaping with a nice sound. The aroma is mainly chemically aromatic, with a hint of greffle skin and a little bit of maturity. The mouthfeel changes from sourness and citrus bitterness to bitterness, umami, and spiciness. The alcohol content is 18%, so it has quite a punch, but the sweetness and umami from the aging process gives the impression that it is more rounded. It's good that the lees are so cloudy and the umami and richness is so much better 😊.

At home. Although it is called Hokkaido series, I compared the taste with Wakakoma for the first time. The mouthfeel is smooth, but the aroma and the feeling in the mouth is something I've never had before. It has a unique taste with a little bit of brown sugar in the mouth. I think it stands out more when compared to the Kokushi Muso. I'm sure it will change after a while, but it was the first time for me to feel the depth of sake.

Japanese>English

Commonly known as "Charakoma". The alcohol content is low at 14 degrees. It is low in alcohol content, and has a strong flavor, but also has a good amount of "goodness". It has a freshness and sharpness typical of summer sake.

Japanese>English

It has a rich sweetness and juicy richness reminiscent of ripe fruit, and I really like its dark flavor. It has been a long time since I have had Wakakoma, but it is still delicious.

At home. Kumamoto sake, Sung Kaoru, purchased on an expedition to Fukuoka. The Sansho I was looking for was sold out, and I managed to find this Kumamoto sake. It has a smooth, refreshing taste with a slight bitterness at the end. It was a dangerous one that was easy to drink. After a long time, I took a walk around Motomachi area in Kobe by bicycle, bought some gyoza (Chinese dumplings), and went home. Since it was Saturday afternoon, Sannomiya and Motomachi were quite crowded, and the city seemed to have regained its vitality.

drinking at home (as opposed to going out) This time, I asked the liquor store to deliver a bottle of the recommended one. SakaoruBalanced and delicious 👍️.

Japanese>English

Fukuoka! They have sake from Kumamoto! I'll have to order some. This is my second time checking in to Kumamoto, so I'm a little happy. The Classic. The direction of this drink is quite different from yesterday's Hibyotsuru. It doesn't interfere with the meal.

I wanted a dry, dry drink. There are days when I'm in that mood. You might say don't choose raw, but I realized it after the sake bottle came. I enjoyed it with yudofu. It fits my mood today. When I think of dry, dry sake, I think of Niigata, Hiroshima, and Kochi. I admit to disagreeing.

Japanese>English

This Sake paired well with the home made bacon we had with dinner. The flavor profile is bright with the flavor of banana and has a dry, clean finish. The dryness is mild and not overly strong.

Aizuwakamatsu souvenir! It was a nice sake brewery in town!

common crane (Grus grus) The name "Saijotsuru" is a combination of "Saijo" (the name of a place) and "Tsuru" (a crane), which means "happy" in Japanese. The sake brewery and main building, which have been used since the establishment of the company, were designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan in 2008.

Other brews. Like the juiciest finish ever of rice and agave. White grapes, Yona Yona Ale, sweet gravy mandarin oranges, clear sweet smell. Juicy! White grapes like balls, hops, umami, acidity and sweet sourness that stimulates the back of the tongue, slight effervescence, beer-like bitterness and freshness and the balls pop and the juiciness sweet and sour, and it's crisp and clean. Yum! Second day. The color of the sake was slightly pink and cloudy white. It is sweeter and hoppier than yesterday's sake. The desire to drink it is rising.

Japanese>English

Craft beer, white grapes, sweet smell. Shrewd, hop bitterness, sweet bitter, grapefruit-like acidity. The description says to mix well before drinking as the lees contain delicious hop compounds. The beer has a clear sourness and a clear taste. But it also has the flavor and mouthfeel of sake. Recently, I drink beer and get drunk very slowly, so on days when I want to drink beer, this is the perfect combination of satisfaction, deliciousness, and tongue-twisting! I think I like it better than beer. I like it.

Japanese>English

October 31, 2023 Japanese Sake and Japanese Cuisine at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. The 7th glass was served on recommendation with rice and hops. It has a clean and gorgeous taste with acidity and a pleasant hop aroma. The aroma of hops is pleasant. Pione and Cheinmuscat. I enjoyed it with Pioneer and Shine Muscat.

Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.
