風の島の菊鹿
This, this, this. The taste you've been looking for. Come to think of it, I realized that I hadn't had Akizuka for a long time, so I went straight to Otsuki Sake Shop. The moment I saw this in the fridge, I was thrilled. It's been a long time since I've been excited by alcohol. As soon as I opened the bottle, the intense and nostalgic flavor rushed in. It starts out dry, with an immediate acidity, followed by a soft aroma of sweetness from the rice, a very strange taste. It is hot and sour, but there is also a slight sweetness that makes you want to keep drinking it forever. I finished 3 cups in no time. I like the empty running course too much.

Drinking record of a while ago. Low-alcohol Miyakanume. This one is good. The honey-like sweetness unique to Miyakanme is refreshing, but fully felt! Today is the day for garbage collection. The home-drinkers are busy with something. First of all, I had to peel off the labels for collection, put the empty bottles in a P-box, and take them to the collection point. You're a liquor store, aren't you? I thought. I make at least two trips back and forth. It's a little embarrassing when I meet my neighbors. Also, when I see bottles with labels I don't recognize in the trash, it bothers me. I check the bottle by pretending to put the empty bottle on the table. What am I doing?

Good morning, Kikushika from Windy Island🐥. I know it's hard to put out the trash 💦we put it out in a bag once a month and it's embarrassing already 😆and I'm still curious about the bottles you're drinking from, so I'm looking at them through the bag 😂I'm relieved we're the same 🤣.

Good morning, Pon. Thank you for your comment! I was wondering if anyone else could sympathize with me, I'm glad to hear that 😊I knew it was a common thing. I'm worried that my neighbors might think I'm an alcoholic.

It is said to be one of the three best nigori. The mouthfeel is quite gentle. It goes in easily. This is its greatest feature. Compared to Shuwaki Maseri. Shuwaki Maselli has a matured rice flavor from the beginning, while Hirotogawa comes on later. So it goes down well. Both have a bitter aftertaste. Both are delicious.

According to the liquor store, it is an active cloudy wine that has been sitting at the brewery for about 10 months. It has a slight yogurt flavor with a hint of maturity. The taste has depth. The "shwashuwa" sensation is quite strong. In the middle of the label, there is a picture of the god of sake. But what does "shwakimaseri" mean? Please let us know if you know!

Last year I had some kind of a connection with Toyama sake. May the good fortune continue this year. What does 50 polished rice mean? I was convinced after drinking it. It is a wonderful sake, with a restrained ginjo aroma, a clean, dry taste, and yet the sweetness of the rice can be felt. I think I like it better than Junmai Ginjo. I can drink it lazily.

I hope you are all having a drunken New Year's. I am no longer in a state of drunkenness. I'm already in a state of sleep, but I'd like to share with you my family's New Year's tradition, Haruyo ko koi (Come Spring). As usual, the delicious taste of rice combined with the shuwashu (a Japanese traditional drink made from rice) makes it explode. The running course the other day was even more beautiful.

It was a year-end party for the class. All-you-can-eat yakiniku is no longer for me. I went home and sipped sake. Toichi, which I used to drink a lot when I first started getting into sake. I still love it, but I don't often have a chance to buy it, and the price is a bit expensive. The taste is like eating ripe papaya with lime on top, with a straight sweetness, followed by a pleasant bitterness. It's good. Most notably, it has a very fine but powerful tingling sensation. I want to keep it on my tongue forever. The basic taste remains unchanged, although the mellowness increases when mixed with the oli. I liked the old label better. The Junmai is blue on the new label, but I think the Junmai Ginjo is more suited to the blue color.

At first sip, ugh, it smells like sake (a compliment) and is very strong (also a compliment). I would have definitely avoided this flavor when I was chasing after fruity liquors. But not now. Now that I am an adult (an old man), I can appreciate and enjoy this sake. When I tried it heated to the hilt, you see, it changed. The sweetness and sourness of the rice gently oozed out and warmed my body. It's delicious, delicious. If you mix a little soda with the hot sake, it's a whole new dimension. In no time at all, two cups of sake were gone. It also went well with oden and yellowtail tataki.

This is good! Basically dry, but with a hint of sweetness from the rice. It has a strong but gentle "chuwa" taste. There are several famous nigori in the sake industry, but this one is by no means inferior to them. I feel like I'm getting a lot out of this one. It is also interesting to compare with Oku. Oku is a straight, straight-edged sake. Ikezuki's is an under-thrower. Both of them are good, and their pitch distribution is fun.

High alcoh, dry, strong effervescence. Nice, hard and straight to the point. I am not a drinker, so I drank it with water or soda, but it went down a treat. I guess it has a strong taste and flavor that is not masked by the shuwashuwa. I bought it because it was introduced on a news program the other day and I felt a connection with it. I had a good impression of it when I drank it a couple of years ago, and I still like it.

It is a bit expensive, but I enjoyed it very much. It starts out gently light and dry, with a soft aftertaste of rice sweetness that invites you to drink it without getting tired of it. It is really an excellent sake. It goes well with the crab we got from our hometown tax payment. I brought it to a gathering at my parents' house, and it was the most popular. It is a sake loved by men and women of all ages. The world is already in winter, but it's still autumn for me. Deep autumn.

As the name suggests, it is sweet. Sake by itself is too sweet. So, when I tried it with soda, which the brewer also recommends, I could feel the acidity behind the moderate sweetness, and it became a completely different drink. This is a new kind of sake highball that can be drunk with gusto. I don't want to have a medical checkup tomorrow.

I laid it down for a year. It has aged well. Slight carbonation is nice. The second half has a bitter taste. The flavor is more pronounced when warmed to lukewarm. In hindsight, I should have tasted the fresh one in small bottles.

It was moist and slightly sweet, a delicious sake. I think it is the best hiyaoroshi sake. I think it is time for new sake to be released, but I still want to be in the mood for autumn.

Our freshly squeezed series to drink at this time of the year, Part 4 We have recently been addicted to this honjozo since Wakanami and Shimehari-zuru. This is not Shizuoka Kaiun, but Yamanashi Kaiun. When served cold, I felt a little bit of the classic flavor, but when the temperature was raised a little, it conveyed the sweetness of the rice in a light and refreshing way. When heated, it became a honey lemon, or rather, a refreshing rice lemon. It's delicious. If not fruity, it's still a tasty sake. Recently, I've been into karinto mix. I've been into karinto mix lately. The refreshing taste is even better.

The third in our freshly squeezed series to drink at this time of the year. We finally opened the bottle of this sake, one of our favorite Four Heavenly Kings. It is one of my favorite sake, one of the four heavenly kings of sake, and perhaps because it was left to mature for 9 months, the effervescence is more mild than usual. But it's good. Because of that, you can feel the taste of sake directly. It is not just a sweet and sour sake, but has a bitter taste. You can feel the juiciness of rice. The alcohol content is 11%, so you can gobble it up. It's also good after a run. I heard that the sister product, Father Line, was not sold this summer, but I would like to drink it again when the new sake is available.

Good morning, Kikuka-san from Kaze no Shima. I had this sake for the first time last year and it is a delicious sake that you can really gobble up: ⤴️ It's been a while since I've had it 😊. The running course also has a refreshing atmosphere✨

Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you very much for your comment! I like this sake so much that I bought two bottles of it. This is the second bottle, which I kept in my refrigerator until this season when I want to drink it with a big gulp. That running course is around the Gamba Stadium. I see that you also drink a lot of different kinds of alcohol, ma-ki-chan. I will refer to them.

Our freshly squeezed series of drinks at this time of the year, No. 2 You can't go wrong with any of the "kafuda-shu", but for me, this one is the best. Mango ? Passion fruit? I am not sure, but it reminds me of tropical fruits. It has a sense of maturity, and although the taste was not quite right on the first day, it was a blast from the next day onward. I took off the outer lid and left it for a while to prepare dinner, and the cap flew off. The "piquancy" was still there right up to the end of the bottle. It is an amazing sake. It is also interesting to drink it with a bottle of Shimehari Tsuru Honjozo.

Hiya-oroshi and autumn grated sake are coming out one after another in the world. I wonder if we should serve homemade autumn grated sake, in other words, freshly squeezed sake stored in the refrigerator. The first one is this. It has been sleeping in the back of the refrigerator and appeared covered with ice. When served cold, it tastes of apricot, chocolate, and a little lemon. The taste is rich, along the same lines of Gaijin, Ryujinmaru, or Furozumi. It is not very fruity, but it is good. I think this sake is suitable for aging. When heated, it has a flavor of apricot and chestnut. This is delicious. The chestnut flavor is nice. Personally, I love chestnut as a flavor of hot sake. By the way, I felt chestnuts even when it was cooled down. Oh no, I drank too much.

Really, this Honjozo is amazing. It is slightly carbonated and has just the right amount of richness and flavor. It is the best in terms of cost performance. The Honjozo and the Shibarihizuru are in a showdown, or perhaps a collaboration, or perhaps a co-performance. The classic, light, dry, and extremely refined Shijikizuru, and the modern, umami, and explosive Wakanami. Although the vectors are different, we can feel the philosophy in both of them. Well, it was a nice evening drink. Running in the evening, we were covered by rain and thunder.

Hello Kikuka from Kaze no Shima 🐦. This Honjozo is delicious 😻The Jungin and Junmai are both delicious but this one is just as good 😁I haven't tried the Shimehari Tsuru's so I had to check it out 🙏. Hope you don't catch a cold from the rain 🥺.

Thanks for your comment, Pon-chan. I have been drinking only Wakanami since I got to know it. If you have a chance, please give it a try. The lingering summer heat is very severe, isn't it? The weather is unstable. Please take care of yourself, Pon-chan.
