A gift from a friend
It is dry and refreshing, with a deep aftertaste of rice sweetness and lingering aftertaste. I enjoyed it while soaking in the bath 😁.
It's delicious 🍶✨

Peace and Wheat, Niggles and Prayers
The label on the back of the bottle talks about "Yukiwatari," which means that wheat sprouts under the winter snow.
It reminds me of the words of Gen's father in Barefoot Gen, which I read a long time ago: "Live strong like wheat sprouting in the harsh winter.
The speech by Ms. Terumi Tanaka of the Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations, who received the Nobel Peace Prize, is very moving. No more nuclear weapons.
It is nigori (cloudy) but clear, active, and powerful! When you open the bottle, the crown pops off and hits your cheeks!
Delicious 🍶✨🕊.

Jay & Nobby, it never blew out of the liquor store, but it was only to empty it without shaking it, so I was surprised when it popped 😆! I was surprised when it happened 😆.

On the way back from Nishizawa Valley in Yamanashi Prefecture, we stopped by Yoro Sake Brewery
Rokunoha was named so that the sixth generation's challenge would spread like a wave. The bottle and label are beautiful.
What is that smell? Koji? Tastes acidic.
Hmmm not my favorite 🤔.

Drink popular brands. Reasonable price and high expectations!
It's juicy but cuts through quickly. It has a high degree of perfection.
From the sound of the name, I imagined it to have a lot of personality 😆 Of course it's delicious 🍶✨.

My wife is also into sake.
Niidashi Zenshu, the depth of flavor is amazing! It feels like it changes while you are drinking it. Aroma sweetness mellowness sourness bitterness weight lingering. And when you drink it after a few days, it changes to a different impression. Delicious 🍶✨
My wife has also started drinking sake, so a four-pack is a moment, and we can enjoy it together, so that's also good.

Hi Mota 😃
Congratulations on ㊗️ where your wife was also swamped 🎉.
I like to drink as a married couple for fun 🤗.
And blinking a four-pack is OK for a common hobby 👍.

2nd one raining
According to the sake brewer, they use well water with high hardness from the subsoil of Mount Tanzawa Oyama (Mt. Amezuri) for the brewing water.
I like their approach and regional characteristics. It has a light grapefruit flavor, a little tangy on the tip of the tongue, and a clean but lingering taste.

To enjoy the long autumn nights
I finally got a bottle of Akabu, which I had been curious about after reading your post. I was attracted by the limited offer of one bottle per person, so I chose the "Amber"!
I was going to enjoy it on a long autumn night, but I drank it all up in no time, so I forgot to post it.
It was light and fruity! I'll try the orthodox one next time 🍶✨.

A gift from a customer of my parents' house
When I went back to my parents' house, my father, who usually drinks potato shochu, said, "I got a bottle of sake, let's drink it. How nice!
It has a rich but good aftertaste with the acidity of Yamahai and goes well with a meal! Delicious! There was another bottle, so I took that home with me too 🍶🍶✨.

Rainfall from climbing Mt.
I went to Mt. Daisen, where the Aburi Shrine is located. Mount Daisen is also called "Mount Aburi" (meaning "rainfall mountain"), which means it rains and is covered with fog even though it is sunny.
After climbing Mt. Daisen, we stopped by the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery to get a bottle of "Amefall!
It is delicious with a sour fruity taste, as it is brewed with a yeast that produces malic acid! It goes well with tiredness! I think I'm going to become addicted to the mountain climbing series 🍶✨.

sake for moon viewing
This is so delicious!
This was recommended to me by the oldest sake brewery in Gunma Prefecture, Makino Shuzo! It's so delicious!
It is brewed with Iwate's Ginginga sake rice in a "sake yeast" style, and has a bit more amino acidity, so it has a bit of sourness to it.
It has a gentle yet powerful flavor, with a juicy soft sweetness and acidity like white grapes and apples...really delicious!
The day the bottle was opened was two days before "Fifteen Nights" and the moon was almost full. Iwate's Ginga is associated with Kenji Miyazawa. It's great to drink while imagining a galactic railroad 🍶✨✨.

OosakazukiSAKE DI PASTA Light‼
モタさん
At Makino Sake Brewery
We stopped by on our way to Kusatsu Onsen and talked with the store's brother about many things.
He told us that Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture, where the brewery is located, has long been a flourishing wheat producer and has many pasta shops. A quick Google search shows that Takasaki is the number one pasta town in Japan! Gunma prefecture has the 1st largest number of Italian restaurants per capita! Oh I didn't know that 🍝.
I was recommended the "SAKE DI PASTA" series of pasta drinks, of which there are three types, and I chose the "Light! which goes well with oil-based pasta such as peperoncino.
It is fruity, juicy, and light. It is also delicious on its own without pasta 🍶✨.
I also learned about the Maccho series I posted earlier (which for some reason is not available at the brewery), and bought another bottle of a different sake made from a different type of sake. Looking forward ✨

Macho series with a big impact!
Low-pasteurized is high-protein, in other words, macho! It's sharp! The rice is a fusion of Omachi O O Aizan, which gives the image of Oka Macho! A playful and stylish presentation ✨
The taste is fruity and completely belies the expectations of the label! Mecha Macho 💪.

Now try the red label!
The red label is more fruity and delicious than the green! The mild, refreshing sweetness on the tongue is delicious 🍶✨.
But I remember it was even more fruity than the one I remember from the pub where I drank it before. Maybe the taste was boosted by the food and the fun atmosphere with friends 😁.

Delicious local alcoholic beverages at the izakaya
I bought this sake because it was sold at a local supermarket! There was a green label junmai sake and a red label junmai ginjo, but I didn't know which one I had at the izakaya, so I bought this one for now.
Well, here it is! It was a little fruity, with a hint of rice sweetness. It is easy to drink, with a slight alu-ness that is refreshing! It's delicious with fries 🍶✨.
But the one I had before was more fruity, so it might be the red label, I'll buy the red label next time.

Hot summer is a shoo-in.
The platinum-colored label is stylish, reminding one of the Olympic torch! The slightly smaller capacity is also stylish! I saw this at Sake-no-Wa and was curious about it.
When I drank it, I found it to be moderately carbonated and sweet like muscat! I drank the first glass in a wine glass, but I can enjoy this sweetness better in a vessel like an inokuchi or shot glass! Stylish and delicious 🍶✨
