Junmai Namikakekurozawa Rice polishing ratio 65%, Sake degree +2 Alcohol degree 15

Japanese>English

This is the limitted bottle of the liquor shop. It was brewed during pre-war time. It's brewed by the Kimoto Method, creating a fruity like muscat and slightly dry taste.

Just pouring this sake into a cup produces bubbles. It has a dry and refreshing taste with a strong aroma of rice.

Full-bodied ginjo aroma🪙. In the mouth, a slightly heavy sweetness and a unique umami taste escape through the nose, and a light acidity rounds it all out😗. The price is reasonable and I can't complain, but enjoy it as a food sake: ☺️🍽️

Japanese>English

It is also easy to drink, but a little spicier than the yeast 1801 from the same brewery.

Fukushima sake tasting 🍶1 cup of KURADAIKO The aroma is so floral that it is hard to believe that it is junmai sake. It is dry at +10 degrees Celsius, but it is not only spicy but also has a strong umami flavor and is surprisingly easy to drink 😋. A cup of sake is not enough 😅

Clear. Fruity. A little spicy. Delicious!

7 points (Wife 7.5) Rice : Ehime Shizuku Ehime Rice polishing ratio : 60 Sake Degree : ±0 Purchased from: Mizuguchi Shuzo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture Silent when opened, no gassiness Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of rice flavor. The same mild aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. Overall, it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is good for accompanying a meal, but it may be too smooth as a stand-alone sake. The taste may have changed since the one I bought from a brewery in Ehime this time last year came out of the fridge. It went well with spicy grilled minos and Umaibo shrimp mayonnaise flavor.

20230902 The last one is Junmai Ginjo (*^^*). This series is just delicious! It has a rich flavor that conveys the goodness of the water as well 🍶. Thank you very much for your kindness.

Japanese>English

20230812 I chose this from the catalog gifts. I had never heard of this brand before, but it is fragrant, fruity and really delicious! It was my first time to drink it, but it was aromatic, fruity and really delicious! Thank you very much!

Sake comparison at home! We chose 3 kinds of sake from "Fukumitsuya", a long-established sake brewery in Kanazawa. Fukumasa Munune Junmai Dry, Nama Zume. This was the first sake made with black malted rice. I felt a bit salty, but I wondered if this was the richness found in sake made with "black koji"? Wind, Water, Man, Junmai 9 It is a junmai sake with an alcohol content of 9 degrees Celsius and a refreshing taste. I would like to drink it with pasta or Italian food! Fukumaso Sake: Hyoketsu Nama-Shu Dry With a sake alcohol content of +10%, it has a very strong sake taste! I would like to drink it with a salty meal and sip it while neutralizing the taste. It was interesting to compare the different types of sake and to see the difference between them. ☺️

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Japanese>English

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Japanese>English

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Yahiko 3

Yahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture. The main brand was "Echino Hakusetsu," but it appears that "Yahiko" will be the main brand from now on. This Junmai Ginjo is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko Village, and is a good sake, not fruity, but calm and soft. Yahiko Village is where my mother is from, and I spent a lot of time there as a child when I was sent to my mother's home, so it is like a second home to me. Yahiko Shrine, the first shrine in Echigo, is located there.

Japanese>English

Yahiko's regular sake, Aozae, by Yahiko Shuzo Sake rice is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko village. Aozae has a refreshing, watery quality. Aozae is a perfect evening sake without any peculiarities. Yahiko Shrine is the largest shrine in Echigo Province. My mother is from Yahiko Village and I used to stay at her parents' house in Yahiko Village when I was a child, so Yahiko is like my second home.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko The long-awaited "Yahiko" brand I was surprised to learn that there is a store in my hometown that carries this brand. I heard that the brewery has been reorganized and the taste has become even better. But still, this is out of the ordinary! Overall, the flavor is calm. It has a fruity flavor with a clean and crisp finish. The umami can be felt with a touch of savoriness, which is a balance I like! It is high level. ‼️

Next up, on to Keitoh! Unlike the previous Kutouryuu, the sweetness is gone and the dryness has shifted. It resets the oiliness with a refreshing light dryness that is typical of Niigata👍. It has great potential as a food sake!

I visited a restaurant with a nice terrace 😁. I'm having steamed oysters 🦪🦪 and this is what I'm having 😆. I can feel the honey, but the spiciness spreads afterwards. It's a very strange taste. But it's delicious. The steamed oysters are big and great 🎉🎉.
