Superbly sour alcoholic beverage. Relentless lemonade. Reminds me of the lemonade I ordered at the coffee shop my dad took me to when I was a kid.
When paired with Murayu Konruri, it really hits the spot.
It has been quite a while since I have had konruri.
Sweetness - the main taste is elegant. The flavor of Murayu is clearly recognizable.
Personally, I prefer the Akane label because it has more acidity.
When paired with Itakura Shuzo's super sour sake, Sakeru, in the back of the photo, it became sweet and sour to my liking.
This is the best sake I've ever tasted.
The fruity element is almost nonexistent, and the ginkoku plays only a minor role. The ripe sweetness of the rice and the acidity of the sake remind me of lactic fermentation, yet the overall dryness of the sake makes it extremely complex and invites repeated sipping.
The price is 4,000 yen for a bottle, but I don't think it is expensive at all. It is the best of the best sake that makes you wonder if the amount of sake in a bottle is so small. It can be served cold, room temperature, or hot. I don't remember when I started liking it, but I hope it will be with me for a long time to come.
I want it to be with me for a long time to come.
It had a good reputation here, so I popped it in.
Well, this is an adult cider. In addition, the citrus acidity you feel afterwards is indescribable. The balance is good, and it doesn't fall apart even when the temperature rises. It goes down well.
Next time, I'll have a bottle.
The moonlit night I watch with my child is more blue than jade.
Sake brewed with yeast collected from salvia flowers by students of Hyogo Prefectural Agricultural School. It is a nice project that shows the sense of unity of the community.
It tasted sweet and sour, and also had a shwashiness that was truly reminiscent of youth.
The last glass was a cloudy sake, not realizing that the ori had accumulated at the bottom.
The first in the Moon series.
The bitterness was prevalent in the cold sake, but the sweetness swelled up and became nice when it was near room temperature.
However, it does not have the minerality of the standard series. Maybe it's just the beginning.
This is another Tamagawa I haven't had in a while.
I wanted to get away from the ginjos and fruity sake.
It's good, it's greedy.
The acidity of Yamahai and the sake smell (in a good way) are in full bloom. It's the royal road to Junmai Yamahai. The alcohol content is 20 degrees, so it's perfect with hot water.
For me, who is not very good with sake, I like to drink it hot.
It's so relaxing.
I sometimes have an irresistible craving for this sake, Zanso Hourai.
It is fruity, but there is something more than just that that attracts me. Maybe it's the balance of flavors, but it suits my taste buds incredibly well.
It was empty in no time at all.
It has been quite a long time since Igarashi was made.
It is 13°, but the taste is very rich. It is sweet and acidic with a berry-like flavor. It is very interesting to compare it with brewer Kuheiji.
Igarashi is a 13° and has a thicker flavor addition.
Kuheiji has the best balance and moderation despite its 15% alcohol content.
Each has its own philosophy.
It has been quite a while since I last visited Kuheiji.
Among them, here is the most reasonably priced one.
It's so good!
In addition to having a good balance of sweet, spicy, and acidic flavors, it's also very moderate overall, so it goes down very well,
It is not just an addition of flavors, but a subtraction.
It takes a lot of courage and skill to make people drink it by subtracting flavors instead of adding them,
It takes a lot of courage and skill to make people drink by subtracting flavors instead of adding them.
It may be similar to Sharaku or Shinshu Kamerei Junmai.
It is a pity that there is no indication of the rice polishing ratio.
A new type of dry sake brewed by Mine-no-Hakubai Shuzo, one of Koshino-Sanbai's three plum varieties. It has an aroma, acidity, and a slight carbonation, and is what is called a mellow dry sake.
There are other sakes in this category, so I would like to see something more distinctive. However, as a traditional dry sake brewer, it is well balanced and does not bore the drinker.
During GW, I had dinner with my parents for the first time in a while.
It is hard to see my parents growing old, with their deafness and coughing. No, I am also aging. Everything changes. It was the sake that made me feel this way.
The other day, I was hoping to get a bottle of HONAMI because it was so good, and I found this one at Otsuki Sake Shop. Hokuyo, the main brand of Uozu Shuzo, the brewer of Hohanami. It's a miraculous encounter.
In addition to the softness of the water, which is characteristic of Toyama, it has a pleasant acidity and sweetness of rice. It has something in common with Honami. It has a profound taste, so the cups are also overlapping.
According to Otsuki Sake Brewery, Uozu Shuzo donated an extraordinary amount of money at the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. And this time, they are donating to the Noto Peninsula earthquake. They are now selling this sake to repay the kindness they received at the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Both the brewer and the sake store are amazing.
I feel the connection between people.
Sorry for the series of the same drink.
It didn't seem to stop after a day, so I ended up putting a ziplock over my head and opening the bottle in the bathroom, ready to explode.
What a waste.
But thanks to the Ziploc and the washbowl,
I was able to taste some of the overflow.
The color of the wine matches the image of its color, and it has a refreshing sweetness. Yum. I don't feel any alsophony at all. This is it.
However, just as the cherry blossoms fell yesterday, the spring storm in Honorary Pond Moon was too fierce.
Tried to open the bottle in time for the cherry blossom season, but gave up.
Even the lever seems to be stuck.
The bottle was in a sprinkler state when he loosened the censer just a little.
The family looked at me coldly and gave up.
I don't remember the activity being this strong.
I will try again tomorrow.
Reflecting on my trip to Nara.
Recently, I try to buy local sake at the local supermarket.
It is not light but excellent dry.
Well, it is dry, but I can feel the milky taste deep inside. This is what Shurei is, interesting.
At night, we spent a quiet time by the campfire at the glamping site.
There are many famous sake and fantastic sake in the world by various standards, but for me, this is truly a famous sake.
It has elements of grapefruit sours and white wine, but still has the uniqueness of sake.
The low alcohol content also makes it easy to enjoy.
It's just great.
I had been drinking it lazily in a bottle, but finally it was empty.
It is unusually high in alcohol content for Koei Kiku.
It has a rich acidic flavor reminiscent of the Kikutaka of old.
The label is really cool.
Toyama Trip Reflections.
In the comparison of drinks, this one stood out above all the others.
It was not just a fruity sake, but something that penetrated through.
I could not understand what it was, but if I have another chance, I would like to try it more carefully.
It is my fault for not checking properly, but I think the color of this bottle is quite misleading. I bought it thinking it was the color of alcohol.
I expected it to taste berry sweet. After all, Laughing Four Seasons excels at sweet sake. I was confused by the gap between the actual flavor and the sweetness, so I didn't enjoy it.
Later, when I drank it blind, I could enjoy the original taste of sake, which was not so sweet, but rather dry with a soft acidity, as if it was an old-style sake. It has nothing to do with red.
The color of the bottle probably spoils it. Both the consumer and the producer.
Excuse me for commenting! I see that you drink a lot of different brands, not just the popular ones! I'm sure there are some brands you haven't encountered yet, but I hope we can enjoy each other's company 😀.
Thank you for your comment, Shota-san. I see that you also enjoy a variety of sake. There are many brands that I am not familiar with, and I use them as a reference. Let's do our best to enjoy each other's sake life.
I had a good drink last time, so I'm going to repeat it.
Nice and thick. It reminds me of lemonade.
It is as intimidating as Etsukaijin.
As one would expect from a brewery that used to brew sake for Kenrishi.
I recently became addicted to boiled eggs marinated in miso.
I realized that it is better to rinse miso lightly.
