Dry
I received this as a souvenir from a trip to Kurashiki ๐. It had a unique taste, but it became easier to drink as the day went by than the first day the bottle was opened. Personally, I enjoyed it. The brewery is located in Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter ๐ซถ. Where to buy it:I received it as a souvenir๐

When I was in college, a sake-loving professor recommended this bottle to me. It is dry and has a rich taste. I really like the kick that a dry sake gives when it goes down your throat... โฏฬฬโฏฬโฏฬโฏฬโฏโ. It's been a while since I've had it ๐ฅฐ. I guess I like dry sake after all.

I bought this sake when I was in Kurashiki. I was surprised at how smooth and smooth it tastes... I was also surprised at the dry but full-bodied taste. I was not a fan of Aragashiri, but I found it to be a delicious sake!

This time we changed things up a bit and bought a bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishiโฃ๏ธ, which we fell in love with at first sight because of the shape of the bottle and the coolness of the label. I had it lukewarm with my homemade oden๐ข๐. It's also good that you can heat up the whole bottle in a ding-dong! It has a bit of an alcoholic aroma, but I don't mind it too much. It's just as spicy and easy to drink ๐ฎโ๏ธ It's like an evolution of the classic type of sake? and I enjoyed it with food ๐. The bottle is stylish and I'd like to keep a bottle in stock for when I want a little heated sake ๐ Thanks for the food!

Hankyu Oasis in the basement of Hankyu Sannomiya Station has a full lineup of Japanese sake, including draft sake, 300ml and cup sake. Surprisingly, it is easy to drink. It has a bitterness at the end, with a hint of gruffness. It's easy to drink and tastes better than most of the sake in cups with alcohol.

Kochi sake swamp. I was getting quite drunk, but this is Okada Izura, also known as Manslayer Izura! This is another light, dry sake with a strong rice flavor. This sake seems to be limited to the Kochi Liquors Club, but it was recommended by the proprietress! The saltiness of Shimanto River's Gori seems to be an endless loop.

When opened, it has a strong spicy impression and is quite harsh. After a while, the spiciness becomes moderate, and sweetness and umami can be felt. However, the spiciness comes slowly. It is a good sake to drink slowly.

Sweetness
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. ๐โช

You can find this sake anywhere in Aizu Tajima. But this one is good. It is arabashiri sake, which means it is rough but has a beautiful sweetness and a good taste. I buy some every time I go there!
