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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

One of a set of junmai sake to compare that I bought on a trip to Shikoku. Rice polishing ratio 70%. Is it dry? It has a refreshing taste. Slightly stiff impression.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Sake cups purchased on my trip #4 This is my first time with Kenrishi ✨. The aroma is full of umami 🤔. On the palate, it has a caramel-like aroma, sweetness and depth of flavor, yet it's clean, crisp and easy to drink 🥰It's a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

This time we changed things up a bit and bought a bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishi❣️, 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 oden🍢🙏. 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 😮❗️ It's like an evolution of the classic type of sake? and I enjoyed it with food 😚. The bottle is stylish and I'd like to keep a bottle in stock for when I want a little heated sake 👍 Thanks for the food!

It has a mild sweetness. It's not too sweet, but it's not too strong. But it's 18% so you'll get drunk 😜.

Japanese>English

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

This is a Sankan Omachi Junmai Hiiri. I tried it at various temperatures, and it was best served hot.

The second check-in in the morning Nice sake with the taste of rice! Is this cheap sake? It's a cheap sake! I think it could be sold for 1000 yen if it was branded like wine... For a businessman like me, it's a blessing! At the mountain pass, I got that Rikimochi (rice cake): ‼︎ They were selling it on the platform. The number of pieces sold at the Pass Station is probably very small, but I guess that's how the stores feel about it! I am very thankful to the railroad lovers! The rice cakes were delicious and slightly salty.

The first frozen sake I've ever had! The flavor was so good that I was able to finish it by myself.

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

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!

I was going to get him to buy this ice breaker a year ago, but he didn't buy it before it was released. This year I was able to get one, so I opened it right away. It's thicker, perhaps because I put ice in it to drink it. And it's sweet. It's the first sake I've had in a long time, so it's delicious. The label is cute because I like penguins

I was told it tastes great on the rocks, so I drank it on the rocks😊. It was cool and delicious ☺️. The penguin label is cute too 🐧.

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

Japanese>English

It was my first time after all. This flower dew I think I'd like to try heating it up 🆗. It's a dry sake 🍶. They made onigiri (rice balls) on the spot with big plums from the ume pickles! Rice balls and sake go well together! A little sour, these plums! (a little bit of knowledge about Japanese sake) Ingredient rice: Yume Issho Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 14-15 degrees Celsius

I'm not sure if this is the right kind of check-in 😅, but here is the check-in from my first visit to the Oldest Pine Sake Brewery 3 years ago😃There is a park near the brewery with beautiful autumn leaves 🍁The apple juice I bought at that time was delicious 😘It was a liqueur mixed with sake and almost an adult's juice 😁💦. It was almost like an adult juice 😁💦. Label: 🏷️ Low difficulty😍. Soaking in hot water makes it easier to peel off! Where to buy 🍶:Laematsu Sake Brewery Co.

Good sharpness. Good to go with fish and salt. Something fluffy and oil? Like oil.

Mellow aroma. The palate is full and fluffy, and the flavor is added at the end of the performance without any change. It is just like swinging a baton for the last time.
