At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

Thank you for your hard work ✨ and one event completed ✅ from We had a nice lunch to reward ourselves. Dinner is tomorrow's release of My Best Sake ❣️ Hode nasu. It's that time of year again! It's like drinking Beaujolais. I love this time of year and the happiness of having my favorite food 🍸🥰. This year's bubbles are finer and more beautiful than usual. Mellow. What? Have you become a smarty-pants? Have you overcome something and become an adult? This year's wine was finished with a hint of gentleness, as if you were leaning toward the other person's feelings. Aah! It is delicious. Lychee-like, rice soda, I can't help but become a Hodenasu. I drink too much sake 🍶. It's delicious this year too. Thank you very much. It's okey!

Memorandum. This is another favorite local drink. Summer, After having accomplished a lot of big challenges in June for me. I wanted to take a breather and reset. A crisp, dry, unpasteurized sake. It works well. I should be able to get eggplant. It was such a good sake for the evening. Sasanishiki from Ichihasama. Suki. I prefer the green hode nasu in winter, though.

Japanese>English

It is a local sake, but I first heard about it through "Sake-no-wa" and bought it at a sake store in the northern part of the prefecture. My daughter bought it at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station a couple of times before she got married. Strangely enough, I could not remember any other person's sake. 　It has a fruity aroma and taste like peaches, with a nice sharp aftertaste. (Mrs. Fujinami's impression) 　It was too rich for me and I did not understand it well. It became easier to drink when I tried it on the rocks.

Shiboritate Nama-narashu (freshly squeezed raw sake) I thought it might be a bit harsh because it is a nama sake, but it is easy to drink and has a refreshing taste. It opened up a new world for me. It was a good drink at a price in the 300 yen range.

21% Polishing Junmai Daiginjo Limited Edition It tastes good with all the impurities removed! It's refreshing, but it's more than sweet, it's too easy to drink! I would rather drink this sake by itself than with rice! 12,000 yen for 720ml

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!

Japanese>English

GW 4 days 3 nights with wife, 1,500km round trip🤣 We went on a Sanriku car trip 🙂. We stayed one night near Sendai and went to Sanriku. We had an ume (sea urchin) lunch box at Kuji station, and spent the second night in Miyako. Miyako's sake brewery, Hishiya Sake Brewery, Senryo Otokoyama. Seafood Cuisine at Murekou, a long-established bar that has been in business for over 45 years. Today we had fresh and delicious seafood dinner at Today, the restaurant was run by a pleasant elderly couple, who were basically just a customer with a reservation, but they were happy to help us at the counter.

Japanese>English

At the Iwate Sake Banquet, a customer recommended Senryo Otokoyama. I chose it because I wanted a dry sake, but I didn't realize that it had 20% alcohol by volume, so I chose it first! It was delicious!

Fruity aroma of rice, strong bitterness, sweet and bitter taste....... I'm enjoying it with tempura of young ayu fish, salmon, pork skewers....

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second Tottori sake, and seems to be a popular type of Chiyomusubi. The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt well. I thought it would have a robust flavor, given the name "strong" sake rice, but it was round and mild on the palate, and very easy to drink for its 18% alcohol content. It is a long-established sake brewery located on Mizuki Shigeru Road, and even inside the store there are yokai (monsters)... The third one is the god of rice paddies called Tanokami, who is said to protect the rice harvest. ⁉️ The fourth one is the mouse man that you all know. Unfortunately, it was raining, so we didn't have a long tour, but many yokai welcomed tourists on both sides of the road. ‼️

Japanese>English

The eyeballs and the fathers were a jackpot. The rice has a firm flavor with a The taste of firm rice with a unique flavor. The sealed seal on the bottle reads, "Drink the secret sake of the monsters. The seal of "Drink this secret sake" is also understandable. The rice polishing ratio is 50%, which is equivalent to Junmai Daiginjo.

It was a gift from an acquaintance 🍶. This is the second bottle of a two-bottle set. 300ml 📌 ¥Unknown Thank you very much 💕 Here is the rice! I'll have it cold today. The aroma is fruity. The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink 😁😁The sweetness of the rice comes through but you can also taste the umami 💕. It is a very good sake that is easy to drink and refreshing even when drunk by itself💕💕💕💕 Thanks to my acquaintance 😁.

Japanese>English

I had this drink in my room on a business trip. I paired it with sashimi of fresh local fish I bought at a fresh fish store in the Amico specialty store area in front of Tokushima Station, which brought out the best flavor and disappeared beautifully in the aftertaste. When poured into a glass, it has a soft aroma, and when you take a sip, the flavor fills your mouth just like the name of the wine, "Houjun"! It is described as slightly dry, but it has a gentle taste. It was a good value for money at 1,670 yen for a 4-ounce bottle, tax not included. According to the brewery's website The brewing rice is "Gin-no-sato," which inherits the characteristics of "Yamadanishiki" while improving its cultivation resistance. This beautiful sake was born from the brewery's desire to create delicious sake that is not too difficult for customers to obtain, It is a sake brewery that we want to support. Thank you to L-mnd Tokushima for the recommendation.

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Smells like yogurt, and when the temperature rises, it smells like cotton candy. The rice-flavored liquid is slightly carbonated, and while you think it is light to drink, it changes and becomes heavy with rice flavor, astringency, a sourness and bitterness that comes in a rush, then changes to sweetness and a lactic acidity that is tingling and refreshing. The changes are interesting. When muddled, the rice flavor becomes stronger and a little bitter, and the umami that comes after is pleasant, with a slight sweetness and flavors of rice and koji that are both powerful and beautiful. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could be a part of this event! I had a small bottle of Yuho, which is made from the sake rice of Ishikawa Prefecture, Hyakumangoku no Shiro 😀 It is a delicious sake with a pure rice flavor.

Japanese>English

( ☆¯ πι¯☆)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Youho's Yamayoshiroshi today 😀. It's my first time to drink it at home 😁. The aroma is mild and not so much 🤔, probably due to the fact that the bottle was chilled to the perfect temperature before opening. It has a strong umami 👍and a fresh aroma that may be derived from the Yamahai method 😊It has a nice sharpness to it 😚. Summer sake🌻⛅️ is over and it's time for cold sake🍁🍄🌰 which is now in full flavor🥰I'm looking forward to the future sake🥳.
