Flesh! It has a wine nouveau-like feeling. Is it because it's the first time it's been squeezed?

Japanese>English

Fuji Day Morning Squeeze! I've been drinking it since last year. It's a very delicious sake. I'm looking forward to another year!

Japanese>English

The light blue color with goldfish, fireworks, sunflowers, and wind chimes is cool, and the fluent white font further expresses the sense of sake. I imagined it would have a greenish smell because of the name "Numazu, Shizuoka," but it was crisp or smooth? But it was crisp or smooth? I was expecting it to have a greenish taste, but it was crisp and smooth.

<Chapter 6 Kaganoi in Niigata. This is my first time😊. I had never heard of Shiroto before. I felt a nostalgic, warm flavor 🎵. It's more than just a dry, light, umami taste, which is typical of Niigata! The aroma of rice with a strong umami flavor was wonderful👍✨.

Purchased when Nemuchi and I stopped by Hankyu's Depa basement on the way back from traveling SAKE. I found the sake that Mr. Sakeran was drinking, so I bought it. I have bought a sake with the same label, but I think it tastes different, so maybe it was the Gohyakumangoku version? There is a trace of sweetness, but the basic taste is dry. It has a strong extract. It's not my favorite line of sake, but there is something about it that I can't dislike 🤔. This sake is not a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast, but I think it tastes similar to Daishichi that Mr. Sakeran praised so highly. On the second day, it tastes a little sweet like candy.

The 5th Sagajo Shoten Presents at the 5th Bishushu Raku Kushan Shokai 😃. First time to try Kaganoi ❗Black bottle with Kanji and horizontal characters ✨. The taste is light and dry, as is typical of Niigata sake! The freshness of the Ginjo Nama Sake is also pleasant 🎵.

Good evening! 😀 It's June and the weather is like a cold rainy season, so I don't know what to wear 😅. Tomorrow, it's going to be 2 degrees lower than today. I wonder if the weather will continue to be so bad 😱. The general meeting at the end of last month was held at a local grand hotel, and the sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai from the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery. The sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai by Kikunoji Sake Brewery. It is not sticky-sweet, but rather light and easy to drink. If the sake is not made with the same level of care and attention as the all-you-can-drink sake, more and more people will leave the sake industry, and short-term tricks will not be effective these days. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you 😁.

Japanese>English

National Sake Fair 2025 (2) The second bottle is Nanafukujin. This sake is made by Iwate Prefecture's Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery. I compared the sake rice at the Iwate Prefecture booth with Yui no Kou, Gin Ginga, and Gin Otome (3rd 📷), and I was still curious about the Seven Lucky Gods, so I popped it in for a refresher. It is served chilled. The color is almost crystal with a few bubbles. The top aroma is sweet and gorgeous with aromas of apple and melon. There is also a slight banana feeling. From the smooth mouthfeel with a gentle effervescence, the sweet and fruity taste slowly dissolves and spreads a soft sweet richness with a slight caramelized taste. The lingering sweetness is slowly brought together by a refreshing acidity and gentle bitterness in the finish. From the gorgeous aroma, a gentle, full-bodied sweetness develops, which can be easily tasted with a greenish acidity and a gentle bitterness. I like this lingering bittersweet fullness. Research shows that Kikuno-ji Sake Brewery is the oldest sake brewery in Iwate Prefecture and is currently located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. This Nanafukujin has been a long seller since 1966, and with renewals, it is now a Junmai Daiginjo made with Ginga. I wonder if the yeast is from Giopanni, a GI Iwate sake. It is only at the National Sake Fair that you can meet such a sake 😊.

Japanese>English

It is dry but very drinkable. It is made using rice with a strong sweet taste, which is suppressed as much as possible. However, the sweetness cannot be suppressed and it has a sweet taste despite its dryness.

Tonight, here's another favorite brand 💁. Takachidai Takagami Aoban 2023BY It's been a long time since I've had a sake with alcohol, and while all Takagusuku's are delicious, this Aoban is the first one in my house 🙌 They also released a four-pack bottle this season, which I'm very thankful for ☺️ Now, from the aroma, there is a fresh fruity aroma of muscat and lychee, and the mouthfeel has a pleasant balance of fruity sweetness and acidity 😊 It is very tasty with a softness and lightness that does not make you feel like it is alsodeye 😋😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Ai" is a seasonal fresh version of "Shu". No nigori, fruity aroma. It is dry, but has a light sweetness, bitterness, and a good balance of alcohol when swallowed. Although it is alky, it is an easy-drinking, good-cost sake.

Japanese>English

. It is light but has a slightly sweet taste and is not monotonous. It's low alcohol, easy to drink, and perfect for a mealtime drink. 👍️ Perfect with grilled oysters and scallops👌.

I bought this sake at the brewery during a trip to Iwakuni. It seems to be the standard sake here and is very easy to drink and delicious.

Japanese>English

Aromas of milk, rice, and some leathery notes. Sourness, then firm sweetness and flavor. Rice grain remains so-so. The aftertaste is sharp.

The lid opens quickly. Lactic acidity, savory smell of rice. Apple, umami, refreshing acidity, not too forward sweetness, plum-like acidity swells. Delicious on its own. I am a fan of baby star with hot water, but this time I left it as it is. The taste of the baby star matches the deliciousness of the sake, and the sake envelops it nicely. The combined aftertaste is irresistible. It is so good that I would buy it if I tasted it.

Japanese>English

It seems to be a drink that is drunk six months after the first visit to the summer and in conjunction with the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. The smell is a little sweet and oily. The mouthfeel is refreshing. After enjoying the refreshing taste, there is a lingering sourness. It is delicious. When served with a meal, it changes to a watery taste, but the alcohol and flavors make a statement. It has been exorcised and is now safe.

Japanese>English

Origuchi Sake-ten suddenly started taking reservations for Wakabisu, so I went to make a reservation last week and received it today. The rice is Kami no Ho. I didn't feel any gas, but there were lots of bubbles in the glass. I was told it was a food type wine, but it was more fruity and pineapple-like than I expected. It's not flashy, but it's delicious with a moderate sweetness and flavor. Wakabisu sake brewery is close to Aoyama-cho station, so you can go there by train 🤔.

At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Japanese>English

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Japanese>English

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

Tonight is my usual Wednesday pub 🍺. Sake brought in by a regular who knows me - ⤴️🍶 Cloth lapels are awesome ⤴️⤴️😆 It's sweet, slightly sour, and very oishy ❕. This one is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm enjoying it very much.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. The one that impressed me the most after tasting several kinds of Kunihiki. It is sweet and fruity. It has a sourness like citrus. It is low in alcohol but very drinkable. However, I personally don't like the top flavor. I can't explain it well, but it smells sweet? I can't explain it well, but it smells like a sweet smell. After drinking it, it tastes fine, but I don't like the aroma when I put it close to my nose. It's difficult to describe... It might be quite tasty with meat as it says on the back 🤔.

Japanese>English

Faint golden color with a grain aroma. Bitter, astringent, and acidic tastes overlap each other. If you expect the fruity and sweetness of a typical Junmai Daiginjo, you are way off. I drank it cold, but I might try warming it up. The Nishijin textile label is cool❗️.
