Hyogo Prefecture Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi Rice polishing ratio Alcohol 17.5 Junmai sake from Kenbishi. As a Junmai sake drinker, I really wanted to have a Junmai sake from Kenbishi, so I bought it online. The color is light amber. The matured flavor reminds me of chocolate aroma. It is a solid sake with a great posture.

The owner of the sake shop where I often go to buy sake gave me a sample and it was delicious, so I bought it. It is a local sake from Aichi Prefecture. Slightly dry, refreshing and easy to drink. 1430 yen

Japanese>English

I recently bought this for 700 yen on the web. It seems to have been left in the shop for more than a year, so it was cheap as a disposal sake😄. It's a beautiful sake for a sake that has been neglected👍. The aroma is pear-like, but the taste reminds me of apples ️. It's sweet but crisp and very easy to drink😆. It's so easy to drink 😆 If it's this quality, I might want to buy it and drink it properly. I can't make fun of Aichi prefecture!

The owner of our favorite liquor store, Higashi Ryu This year we were able to get Sasanigori without incident. The regular version of Jungin is also very tasty, so we are very interested in this one as well. The aroma is fruity and reserved. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet, and you know it's good the moment you taste it! The aftertaste is fruity and fruity. The fruitiness increases around the time of the aftertaste, and the acid bitterness at the end is mild. It is a strange sake with a sense of transparency even though it is a "Sasanigori" sake. The Sendai Aoba Festival will finally begin tomorrow. Last weekend, a purification ceremony and a lighting ceremony for the Date Gate were held, and everything is ready for the festival to get into full swing. The weather is looking good, and it is the best time of the year when the blue leaves are at their most radiant. I will be there with my tin can and singing the woodcutter's song! Please come to Sendai this weekend! Thanks for the food!

Then the middle one, "Senryo Otokoyama. Honey-like aroma. The mouthfeel is silky, but the flavor is similar to a juku-shu type. It has a honey and syrupy feel with a touch of pettiness. However, it is easy to drink, with no harshness or bitterness, perhaps because the overall assertiveness is modest! It is crisp but dense. It is a deep taste that is hard to describe!

It is quite thick, and you can feel the thickening even when you put it in your mouth. What I thought was a little unusual about this sake was that it was a daiginjo with this thickening. I am inexperienced and this is the first time I have had this kind of sake. I like this kind of sake. It's good.

Japanese>English

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?

Time is almost up! The last sake comparison! This sake is from Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture! My father, who was born in Kurayoshi City, passed away during Golden Week! He was 95 years old. I have had the red label before, but I found the navy blue label at a restaurant on this day, so I had it! Surprisingly fruity! The ceremony to lay his ashes at the end of this month has been decided! The engraving on the grave has been completed without any problems. I would like to drink sake with my father in the next life, as it was difficult for me to drink with him in this life 🍶. extensive knowledge Sake Mother: Sanki Amazake Moto Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: Tamakae (produced in Tottori prefecture) Rice polishing ratio: 55 Yeast: 601 yeast Alcohol content: 15

Purchased at Seibu-Chichibu station. It has a classical Japanese sake flavor. It is better to drink it as it is with strong flavored food than to drink it as it is. ⭕️ A robust Junmai sake... maybe not my favorite...
