Bought in Aizu (No.5) This is my first time to drink sake here. It has a nice, understated flavor that goes well with food! I found a good sake.

Japanese>English

I haven't drunk it yet. To enter the brewery place for now. The landlady explained carefully and we bought a bottle of her favorite red and a new Inagawa. We will enjoy them when we get back home.

It is dark. Dark, sweet, and punchy 😵. But it's also very tasty. I think it is the type that you face it head on and drink it slowly. It's been a while since I've had an alcohol headache lol. I looked at it closely and it's 19 degrees... I see what you mean😅.

I wish I could be a part of the best of the best. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 The stable Kikuhime cup. Local Sake The yellowish sake is The Sake. It is delicious.

720ml ¥1,100 It's been a long time since I've had arabashiri 😅. First the supernatant 🎵They are mellow and delicious with a nice sharpness! And the stirred umami is great 😁. It's a very good drink for a very strong one with a very strong food: ☝️ Must drink again next year😃!

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

Japanese>English

. It has a robust flavor with the full flavor of nama-zake character, slightly sweet and delicious! ✩4.0

Japanese>English

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

Kasumigashoju, Junmai Ginjo. I bought it immediately because it was half price at the drugstore. The spiciness and sweetness overlap and fuse from the beginning and disappear with a delicious taste. Good ministry.

Stable taste. Yamagata's typical delicious taste.

One cup of "Ureshicho" in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture. The acidity of this sake is classic. Paired with fried potatoes, a souvenir from my wife and son's trip to Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Umeda Department Store. (Hankyu or Hanshin) One of seven breweries in Nara Prefecture that belong to the Nara Prefecture Bodai-Hashimoto Sake Research Association. See label on back. Rich, mouthfeel It is a sweet type, but the far and spreading umami and bitterness It was delicious and matched well with food. It became mellow and mild when heated to lukewarm and I could enjoy it with ease 😁. I am interested in the history of sake only when I taste Bodaihashi.

Japanese>English

It is a set of 5 cups of Kinki local sake 😁. It is a gift from an acquaintance 🍶. It is 📌180ml ¥Unknown 🌈1/5th cup 🌈 Here's the rice 🍶. Start with room temperature 💕 Not much aroma 💕 The color is beautiful💕 You can feel the sweetness of the rice on the palate, but you can also taste the umami 💕Yumai 💕 Then I tried heating it up to lukewarm💕 The aroma has more sweetness💕 When warmed up to lukewarm, it tastes more pungent than sweet💕. It's also interesting to taste the different flavors 👍 Today's pairing is pot-au-feu 😋. It's a great pairing 👍 I wanted to try the cold sake but it ran out quickly 🍶thanks to a friend👍

The third group of the Sake Rice and Yeast Association is Gintome and Yuko's Idea from Iwate Prefecture. Iwate is often named after the pure-heartedness of the Tohoku region or after Kenji Miyazawa, and the rice is Gintome, which is a Gin user. Yuko, the yeast, seems to be named after the developer, Ms. Yuko Yamashita of the Iwate Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. It is a clear, dry sake. Sake from Iwate is interesting in many ways. To be continued.

We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

The strength of aged sake and smooth mouthfeel. The more you drink it, the sweeter it gets as the days go by. Junmai Daiginjo made from 30% polished Yamada Nishiki. It is a blend of 30% polished Yamadanishiki and more than 5 years old Nakadori. It is indeed the best of Gikyo.

A long-matured sake from 2005. It has a mild taste of rice and A rich, full-bodied sake with plenty of aftertaste. This is a brewery that has a family history of aged sake.

Japanese>English

The fourth cup was "Asakayousei"! I was curious about this one, as I have only seen Shiga sake such as "Shichibonjari" and "Shoki Shoki". The aroma is apple-like. The mouthfeel is fresh, with a gaseous and hinted aroma that reminds me of a tank! The sweet and sour taste of green apple and the overflowing flavor is addictive ✨.
