Today, I went out to buy alcohol 🚗 and while I was there... I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 😅 which was talked about for a while 😅 a long time ago. I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 🍶😊. First of all, I'll have it on the rocks as recommended. Mmmm... perfect for an introduction to Sake ⁉️ No, no 💦 it's a bit weak to feel the sake 😅. But it's sweet and easy to drink so it might be good 🥰.

Japanese>English

Saw it in a convenience store and bought it. Low alcohol sake with 5% alcohol content I'm not a strong sake drinker, so I get a little drunk after 2-3 gos of sake, but this one looks like it won't get me drunk at all! It's like a juice! No "shwashy" feeling, sweetness comes first, then sourness. The taste does not linger so much. It tastes like sakekasu (sake lees), and it's a taste of sake. There is a slightly peculiar aroma in the nose (a little bit bitter). I wish all sake were this low in alcohol content so I could try different flavors... Serve with Gouda cheese and salmon kimchi The cheese has a peculiar aroma that disappears nicely and goes well with the sake. Kimchi may not be a good match because the taste is too strong and all you can taste is the sourness of the argos.

#Nagasaki Goto Town# w river/o/pine/hori/fuku/yama I visited with a customer from Hokuriku. To compete with them with seafood, We consulted with them in advance about "Uchiwa Shrimp" caught in Hirado, Nagasaki. We consulted with them in advance and asked them to secure it for us at the market. We had them as sashimi. It was like a smaller horseshoe crab. They were very pleased 😁. Now for the 🍶... For a moment, I thought it would be dry. I thought it was dry, I felt sweetness. The freshness goes well with sashimi. The shrimp was served in miso soup later 🎉.

The second cup is a local sake from Tsushima, which is also rarely seen in the Kansai region. The rice flavor gently spreads in this drink, which I never get tired of drinking. Tsushima is another place I would like to visit someday.

Nigori (nigori). It has a sweet sake-like aroma. It is sweet to the taste. The gaseous feeling is already gone. The texture is more refreshing than expected. It has a moderately fruity acidity and goes down smoothly. It goes down the throat well. It is very drinkable. Degree of liking ☆3.5/5

I've been sober for a few days, but I've lifted the ban. Is it the limited sake prepared for the Niigata Sake Festival? The usual brand is called "Tenjinbayashi". It has a juicy and rich sweet taste. It has a sweet taste that is not like Niigata sake. It is not fruity and the aroma is a bit quirky. It may be different for each taste. It is sweet, but it has a chunky sweetness...

Japanese>English

Slightly sweet aftertaste, but not clingy, clear and delicious. The ginjo aroma is subdued.

Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag? It is delicious, but maybe too elegant. It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

Japanese>English

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.

Japanese>English

This sake is limited to two liquor stores, one in Sakai and the other in Kishiwada. Only 12 bottles are in stock, so the next time I come back, there won't be any left, so I was allowed to try a special sample before purchasing. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a low alcohol content and is sweet with a gentle taste. It is low in alcohol, but you can feel the fullness of the flavor. It has no gaseous feeling, but it is fresh. It can be used by itself or with food. Shimada Special is delicious no matter what you drink.

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

At a tasting at a local liquor store. It was quite fruity, but felt light and insufficient for an unfiltered sake.

On the Shinkansen, we open another bottle of Nara Sake, Kisenju✨. The palate is sweet and sour and yogurt-like. It is light and pleasantly schwishy. It is easy to drink even in a tipsy state! It is also gorgeous and strawberry-like, so it feels like strawberry yogurt. And the last one is Yamazaki 12 years old from sake. We ended our trip with a glass of Shinkansen Gokukkatai ice cream 😌. There are still many places I want to visit, so I will visit Kansai again if I have a chance...!

Sake made with red rice. Purchased at the brewery. It is easy to drink with low alcohol content, but the base flavor is pretty classic, light and dry. It is light and easy to drink, so it is not suitable for drinking on the rocks or with soda.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Today we visited the Tottori & Okayama Antenna Shops, a place of relaxation for Masamune hunters 📡. As soon as I arrived there, I started looking for Masamune and found it 🤩. It's sake 🍶. It has a crisp, Hakka-like aroma. It is also very refreshing on the throat. The umami of the rice is subdued, and then there is a subdued sweetness and an equally subdued acidity. Overall, it has a light and simple taste 😙. It is probably best suited as a food sake 🍶. The Hakka flavor, combined with the oiliness of the food, seems to help the oil from the food to be washed away quickly 😁. Nice Masamune👍

Japanese>English

The 800 check-in is the H27BY (2015 brewing year) Sanko Masamune from which Toji Takagaki retired 😆. We were lucky to get it 😊. This is the only sake from Mr. Takagaki but we are holding Takagaki festival 😅🍶. When opened in the fridge, it smells slightly like a soy sauce warehouse (there was a soy sauce warehouse in my neighborhood when I was a kid) or Shaoxing sake. It's a dry and light sake when cold. Sanko is still a warmed sake, so I'd recommend heating it up 🍶. The top aroma is the aromatic aroma of a freshly heated sake. When heated, it does not have a matured aroma. In the mouth, you first feel sharp acidity and spiciness. The acidity is not as strong as that of Sanko Tenpyo's Namahashi or Yamahai, but it is quite good. There is a slight sweetness and a beautiful umami that does not make you feel the rice polishing ratio of 72%. This is a perfect food sake 🍶😊. I don't know if this is the original taste since it is an old sake, but it was deeply delicious 😌. After retiring, he returned to farm near his hometown, but unfortunately, he died in a field accident last year 🥲. I learned of his death when I saw a relative of his on Instagram late last May with a picture of H27BY "Katsumasa" to inform me of his passing. A toast to Mr. Katsumasa Takagaki 😌🍶. The fourth picture is a sake from the brewery where Mr. Takagaki worked in the past.

Last of the day. Ihyakumangoku. The wine has a solid umami taste from the beginning to the middle part of the bottle. The lingering umami richness comes through slowly.

Japanese>English

The first day I opened the bottle, the acidity was strong. Oh, refreshing and delicious ✨👍 On the third day, the acidity is muted and a mellow sweetness emerges. Oh, delicious ✨👍 I'm happy with the result, a sake that can be enjoyed at any time of the year 😆.

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.
