🏠 Drinking ( -̀ -́ )୨⚑︎゛ I didn't care for the aroma. Crisp ‼️ and no bitterness. Maybe a light acidity when paired with veggies😊. For the entrée... Yakitori with sauce made with rice wine 🐓. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it with vegetables Rice used, Miyamanishiki Yeast, Kyokai 701 Alcohol 13%. Personal preference among 4 types 4️⃣ I received a bottle of sake that has been stored at room temperature for a wacky long time... I tried to drink it but it was old sake ( ´-̥̥̥̥̥ω̥̥̥̥̥̥`) I got about 7 kinds of sake including Tasake and Jyushiyo... What a waste 😭😭😭 The sauce made with Tasake was delicious though 🥲.

Rice used is Hidahomare This sake has a rich, dry taste that is typical of junmai sake. It is smooth on the palate, but the sense of rice spreads immediately, followed by a strong pungent and astringent taste. The aftertaste is also long and powerful. It is a sake that is very drinkable and can be served with strong dishes.

Hida Takayama, Sake Brewery Nonbei Festival The third restaurant is Hirase Sake Brewery of "Kusudama". This place is a little far from the old streets. You can see the chimney in the back, but the site looks spacious. The store inside is only for sake tasting and sales, so it is only for customers who are looking for sake. Let's take a look at the sake tasting. Well, it has a mild taste and goes down softly and smoothly. It is delicious. It's amazing that it has been in business for 400 years, isn't it?

Trophies of the GW Kanazawa - Takayama trip. When I think of canned draft sake, I think of Kikusui Ichiban Shibori, but since this sake is also from Ishikawa Prefecture, which is famous for its sake, my expectations naturally went up. The design of the can is also austere. Chill it in the refrigerator and open the bottle! Oh, you can feel a slight shwash and a refreshing sweetness (Kikusui Funakuchi Ichiban Shibori has a mellow sweetness). It's delicious. When the temperature settles down a little, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a repeat purchase. I hope they sell it in Kansai too!

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 😁.

Fresh and tart aroma. Slight caramel. Yogurt. Contains juicy, bodied texture. Fresh rice with a little vegetable green swelling. Refreshing yet rich and delicious. Matches with herb-garlic grilled prawns. A sake that makes a good entrée. Yanaka Ginza Echigoya Sake Shop

I bought this as a souvenir from Niigata. This is the first time I have seen this sake. It is sweet, but it seems to lack a little impact. Maybe it would be different if it were heated up?

A gift from a junior colleague. The brand name of this sake was a sweet umami-guchi sake, which is not typical of Niigata, but it was said to be one of the most refreshing ones. The taste is refreshing, but the sake flavor lingers in the aftertaste. It is a good match for sashimi! I think it was better with fish than too strong flavors. Good luck to my juniors in Niigata!

I stopped by the brewery for the first time in a while. I used to have a special fire-brewed junmai and a sake called "Mariko no shu" which is named after the female toji (master brewer?). Both were quite dry, classical sake. Both were quite dry classical sake, and I had the impression, for better or worse, that this is what local sake is supposed to be like. This was probably my first nigori sake, but it looked delicious, so I bought some! I wondered if the beautiful woman at the sales counter was Mariko herself? It has a classical aroma with a banana feel. It is more of a hint than a standing aroma. It has a classical taste and is dry, but you can drink it by itself if you want! It is very easy to drink because it has a lot of turbidity, which gives it a strong umami flavor and makes it easy to taste the sweetness. I drank it with kimchi nabe (kimchi stew), and I think it goes well with strong flavors and nabe dishes! It also seems to go well with meat, and I am sure it would go well with ginger-grilled pork or chicken steak. I imagine it is like Kikuhime nigori or Tamagawa nigori! To be honest, I think it's one of the best in the Koshu Plum Grove, so I'd be happy to buy a bottle and drink it slowly. It can probably be stored at room temperature until early spring.

I had decided on Mariko's Sake for my first visit to Saitama. The Sato Sake Brewery is run by Mariko Sato, the toji of the brewery. There is almost no alcohol taste, and the spiciness comes later with more umami. It is sweet and umami, but the spiciness lingers a little.

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we got a bottle of Ichinotani, a sake from our neighbor Fukui Prefecture 😀. I bought it because of the old-fashioned, hard-core label 😚The specs are also very Chinese, 35% Yamadanishiki daiginjo😤, but the price is reasonable💰They really only have one bottle, but it seems that only the store of one of their customers has a 4-goupe bottle 👍. The aroma is mild and ginjo like 🍑😊Clear sweetness and refreshing acidity🥰The aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly😍✨It's a beautiful sake that goes down smoothly🥳It's a delicious sake😆👍✨
