This is a local brew from Fukushima that I got as a gift from a friend.......it's hard to find in the Kanto region unless you go to Tochigi.... This is a good choice for a midday meal.

Nama Sake 🍶. Nagano Ueda Railway Journey🚃Day 3 Light and smooth. Sweet but not sticky. A little fruity. Peachy katsu-don with a hint of acidity 😋It was a very relaxing restaurant and gave my body a rest after being down in the heat 👍I would like to visit again ✨. Sanyuken @ Bessho Onsen 20240907

Mellow sake 🍶. Nagano Ueda Railway Journey🚃Day 3 From Ueda, take the Ueda Dentetsu Bessho Line🚃 to Bessho Onsen (Bessho Hot Springs) ♨️ Lunch at the diner that was reflected in the setting of the 18th film Otoko wa Tsuraiyo. The aroma of the food was very strong. But it is sweet and gentle, not harsh. It has just the right amount of maturity. Goes well with Nozawana. It softens the salty taste of Nozawana. The chicken gizzard and boiled pork are also delicious 😋 I'm so glad I found a hidden gem restaurant 😆. Sanyuken @ Bessho Onsen 20240907

😊. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Alcohol Content:16%. I managed to get over the train when I was with Yuka-chan, but I did it on the way home from drinking with the second daughter (I am the eldest) of the Otsubonez (three bureau sisters) in my department. I lost my memory at the next station where we sat down, saying "I might fall asleep if I get to sit down. Why didn't I wake up 5 minutes before? The train in the opposite direction was the last of the day and I had to wait 20 minutes. I managed to only sleep on the platform. Then I had a blast sleeping in the cab as well... Now, to get back on track, here is the evening drink of the day. The aroma was sweet, but when I drank it, the sweetness was not as strong as the aroma, and there was a good balance of sweetness, sourness, and finally bitterness. It went very well with a little bit of shibi-shibi (bean-curd soup with red pepper paste).

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. ☺️

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

Special Junmai🍶Nanbu Kame no O🌾. Otona no Himitsu Club, Aomori Complete Trip Journey🚃Day 1 It is rich, umami, spicy and acidic, and looks good when heated. It is a little harsh on its own. It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

Japanese>English

It has a moderate acidity and a good mouthfeel❗️It is a sake with a high quality umami feeling (^^) It is good as a sake for eating 😁.

I shared my partner's order at Tsuji Shuhan's sake tasting space in Yamanaka Onsen. It's dry and refreshing. It seems to go well with any kind of food. Personally, I preferred the Tedorigawa that I chose.

Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

Japanese>English

I bought this sake on a trip to Aizu, Fukushima. Not too hot, not too sweet, I guess.

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Japanese>English

I felt like I was drinking sake! It was very easy to drink and went very well with the pickled yam and octopus with wasabi that we had together! It was very easy to drink!
