Hot Temperature Cooled Sake Firm Gentle Umami Room Temperature Acidity Warm Sake

Fusozuru 1

The last one is Fusozuru. It will be served warm. The top-tasting aroma is that of thick rice. The mouthfeel is clear and the umami of rice is directly conveyed. The aftertaste has a slightly matured or aged feel to it, but I think this is what makes the umami so convincing. The finish is soft and fluffy, with a soft acidity and astringency. The image is quite dandy and austere. Fuso is an old Japanese alias, but when I think of Fuso, I think of the Mitsubishi Fuso truck or the battleship Fuso of the Imperial Navy. In the arcade game "1943," which I was addicted to when I was in junior high school, the sinking of the Fuso was the climax of the first half of the game. I like the sound of "Fuso". Thank you for the food!

Amount used: Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Fruity, clear and round in the mouth There is no sense of maturity, and the more you drink, the more the flavor expands. This is a good sake. ❣️ It was delicious: ‼️

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

Japanese>English

It's very mature for a spring sake, but I guess that's what nighttime cherry blossoms are for. There is a slightly floral aroma, but it's not enough to bother me, just enough to change my attention a bit. It is gentle and tasty, but the line is thin and I would like to see more thickness.

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

Beautiful label...18% alcohol by volume...the alcohol is very strong...aroma: a faint aroma of rice. You can feel the delicious taste of rice on the palate...but the bitterness in the aftertaste is bothersome...It's like a good old Japanese sake...I'm having it with sashimi assorted by my regular old man. .... I'm sipping it. It's a raw sake, so it warms you up....

Kimasa "Junmai Ginjo" 720ml Alcohol content 16%. Rice: Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio 50%. The label is classical, but the taste is clean, mild and gentle. My wife says it has a nice gap between the two.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki Compared to the special junmai we drank before, this one is lighter. It has a slight amber color and a slightly matured taste. There is little bitterness, and no cloying taste. This sake is a bit lacking as a cup sake. The sake had a good sharpness, so it had a refreshing taste. 65th cup sake

Seisen has a traditional flavor when it is fire-aged...but the raw sake is delicious 🍶...sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate, but not bitter enough to be bothersome. Jungin sake brewed with 100% Chiba's sake brewing rice "So no Mai"... I am enjoying it with "Vinegared Myouga" and "Salted Marlin" from Chiba... a delicious marriage...

Japanese>English

Elegant rice aroma...sweet on the palate! The taste of rich Omachi and the lingering acidity are good... You can enjoy it without any snacks! Chiba's local sake is delicious!

Japanese>English

It is the best way to have a good time with your friends and family... The scent of the ginjo is refreshing... When you pour it into the cup, it is amber in color... The sour taste in the mouth is very strong and the bitter aftertaste is also very characteristic of the local brew, so you can enjoy it with the whale sauce, a specialty of Boso, as a snack. That's the way it is.

Since ancient times, people used to throw beans on Setsubun day👹. Before we know it, the custom of eating ehoumaki (rolls wrapped in rice wrapped in eho-maki) has has taken root. Tonight is the moon after the rain. When I open the door, I hear a cheerful sound. The feeling of tight gas 🫧. Aroma like sweet sake Clean sweetness and sharpness ⚡. When you mix the lees, the lactobacillus feeling becomes more intense at once ✨. Light, low-alcoholic taste, so you can gobble it up 😋.

Rice is grown in rice paddies that maintain the environment in which yago (Japanese bitterling) grows How can it not be delicious? I can't get enough of the shwashiness, which is different from that of raw sake (≧∇≦)! Thank you so much for the food. m(_ _)m

It was a sweaty day as I went to line up in Ginza in the morning to buy a bottle of wine. The bottle said it was 18 degrees, so I enjoyed it slowly on the rocks. I served it with edamame (soybeans), leatherfish, sweet shrimp, and surume tempura. It was very tasty as a food sake.

Famous for its heated sake? It is a famous heated sake from Tanzawayama. I went to Sakatoya in Mizonokuchi to buy a bottle of Ayahana's slightly heated sake, but they were selling Reiho by weight, which is only sold in 1 sho (1.5 liter) bottles. First, I tasted it cold. The first aroma was slightly sweet. In the mouth, it has a beautiful sweetness with a hint of sourness. The sweetness is moderate and refreshing. Next, we tried it warmed up. Aromatic sweet aroma of heated raw sake 🤤. The sweetness and umami are very good. The sweetness and umami are very nice and full 😊. I was impressed by how they could make such a beautiful Yamadanishiki, even though the brewery originally produces many light and dry sakes. It was delicious ✨🍶.

I got this one at my wife's parents' house. I've drunk Rumiko-san before, but this is the first time I've had an active muddy one😙. After 10 minutes of opening and closing the bottle, I finally made a toast🍾 It's fresh and crispy❣️and tingly❣️. It's got a nice sourness and bitterness to it 😆. I think I may have drunk the most 🤪! Thanks for the treat🙏.

At home. I bought this as a souvenir when I enjoyed lunchtime drinking at Changlong Brewpark and had it at home. I guess it is a slightly different version of the one I had at lunch. The aroma may be influenced by the name of bamboo ⁉️.... Unlike the lunchtime drink, it was fresh, sweet, sour, and refreshing. The fact that I was able to bring back a good one as a souvenir made my day more enjoyable and memorable... ‼️ The fourth picture is of Kaguya-chan, the mascot of Hiroryo Town.

Japanese>English

At Changlong Brewpark. The second drink was Shikisaki. We were told that it is recommended as a food sake, so we had it with our bento. It is a dry sake with a strong umami flavor that can be savored slowly. It has a completely different taste from the Sakurabito we had earlier, and is good for variety. ‼️ We got tipsy and bought some souvenirs for our holiday.

Japanese>English

Dry with a hint of flavor. Almost room temperature at the beginning of the drink. No sweetness whatsoever! But it's not hard to drink. I don't know if this is a good analogy, but I drink it as a very light shochu. It's meant to be a sipping drink, but it goes into your body quickly! The second day starts with a cold sake. On the back of the label, it says it's a little dry. Perhaps because it is an unpasteurized sake, it doesn't have a strong alcoholic flavor, but it does have a bitter aftertaste and a tongue-tickling sensation. It may not be suitable for those who don't like the dry taste.
