Tonoike Shuzoten, Tsanbana Dry Junmai
Tochigi-no-Hoshi from Tochigi Prefecture, Polishing ratio 65
Hmm? Not "Tochigi no Hoshi" which is also used for food sake brewing?
Either one is fine.
Summer or not, it's still heated sake.
Tonoike Shuzo Brewery, Tsanbana, Ginjo-shu
Gohyakumangoku produced in Tochigi prefecture, Polishing ratio 55
The glass was empty before I could write the review (sweat).
Yeah, well, anyway, well, you know, it was delicious!
Okunomatsu Shuzo Co. repeats Okunomatsu, Junmai Daiginjo Sparkling
Not that there was anything special about it, but bubbles.
It's sold at the Seiyu in the back anyway.
It doesn't have the cap-blowing intensity of Champagne or Cava, but it has a delicate and long-lasting carbonation, which is the result of the second fermentation in the bottle.
Isokura Sake Brewing Co. repeats Inazato, Junmai-shu Nihonbare "Tsuchi".
Made entirely from Nipponbare rice grown in Ibaraki Prefecture, 75% polished rice.
The last time I drank it, it was a darker color, but I'm not sure if that was due to age or an illusion.
It's not bad chilled, but you should drink it heated.
Isokura Sake Brewing Co. repeats Inazato, Junmai Ginjo "Hoshi".
All Hitanishiki from the Kasama area, 55% polished rice ratio
Brewed with the recent trend of drinking ginjo-shu chilled in a wine glass in mind.
Almost colorless, clear and full-flavored sake.
Banshu Ichiken Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 35 from Banshu Yoshikawa, Sanyoibai Shuzo Co.
On the way back from Miku Hatsune JAPAN LIVE TOUR 2025 ~BLOOMING~ Okinawa and chura miku street, I boarded JAL flight JL920 in first class with a same-day upgrade.
The in-flight meal was extremely Japanese style, and the gundam told me to order sake!
Godo Shusei Corporation, Taisetsu no Kura, Special Junmai
Souvenir sake from the annual Snow Miku expedition
All rice produced in Hokkaido, variety unknown.
Ushiku City, where I live, has a close relationship with Godo Shuzo, and Asahikawa City in Hokkaido, where Taisetsu no Kura is located, is also deeply related to the founding of Godo Shuzo.
I am ashamed that I thought it was just a big company that came in on its own and called itself a local sake company!
Godo Shusei Corporation, Taisetsu no Kura, Junmai Ginjyo "Kinu Yuki".
Souvenir sake from the annual Snow Miku expedition
Made from 100% Hokkaido "Ginpu".
The smell of ethanol and bitterness are a bit overpowering...
Hatsuson, Mazan, Junmai Hon Dry Taste, Tohoku Meijo Co.
The label doesn't say, but according to the Tohoku Meikozo website, it is made from Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture.
This makiri is a short sword carried by the matagi of the Tohoku region, and also by fishermen in the Tohoku region for handling small fish.
The dagger carried by the Ainu was also called makiri, but it is thought that it was acquired from Japan and passed down to the Ainu, along with its name.
Now, it has a sharp and dry taste like a small dagger, but it also has a good flavor.
Tohoku Meizo Corporation, Hatsuson, Fruits of the Earth, Junmai Ginjo
Probably the one they only distribute to supermarkets.
Junmai Ginjo made from 100% Dewa Sanzu, Namaishibashi style.
Sweetness, acidity, spiciness, and astringency in that order.
Rich in ginjo aroma, but well balanced.
Tenkagami Corporation, Eigawa - Autumn Agari Junmai Sake
Chiyonishiki from the Aizu district of Fukushima Prefecture
The aroma that passes from the oral cavity to the nasal cavity, for a brief moment, felt like the wine of Torrontés, Argentina
KIYAMASA SHUZO K.K., Jikin, Junmai Ginjo, Senbon Nishiki, Hi-iri
Yes, it's the annual Snow Miku expedition!
JL526 miraculously arrived on time and started boarding while the Shinchitose Snow Festival was in full swing, but...
Passenger didn't pass through security checkpoint" - "Well, it's no use, it's a mess.
Lift loader got stuck." - What the hell does that mean?
After all, it was 50 minutes late!
When I arrived at Haneda, I couldn't buy a limousine bus to Kita-Senju because it was full.
Hmmm, this...
The in-flight meal smelled like garlic!
Fukumitsuya, Kagatobi, Junmai Ginjo
Yeah, it's the "discount sticker again". I'm sorry.
I don't expect you to forgive me by apologizing, as they say "Buddha's face".
After leaving the impression of being light and dry, umami sweetness and dryness come up.
Shibotan Sake Brewing Company, Junmai Sake, Toyorei
There is an anecdote that Shigeru Yoshida overturned his statement "There is no good sake in Kochi".
Well, this is certainly delicious!
