Tatenokawa本流辛口純米大吟醸
alt 1

I had always wanted to go to a Yamagata restaurant, and this was also the Tatenogawa that had been on my mind for a long time recently. I chose this dry sake because it was to be served with a Japanese-style meal, but it is indeed a Junmai Daiginjo. Even though it was dry, it had a strong flavor, and although I felt some thickening, there was not much sweetness, so the taste was very refreshing. It is difficult to describe the taste of sake, but I thought it was simply a very luxurious drink! Next time I would like to try a sweet sake or a dry sake that is not junmai daiginjo!

A drink I had at a wonderful yakitori restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere in an alley in Asagaya. Normally, I would not be so keen on dry sake, but the names "Chokaizan" and "Akita" attracted me, so I ordered it, and to my surprise, it was the right choice. It was a refreshing sake with a great taste of rice, perfect to be served with yakitori and a bowl of chicken zosui (rice with chicken) at the end of the meal. I think it is probably best to drink it with soy sauce or soup stock, rather than at the beginning of the meal.

This is a bottle from Tadenokawa Shuzo, which produces Tatenokawa, a sake that I have recently been curious about but have yet to try. It is a liqueur made by combining a generous amount of Jersey yogurt from the Chokai Mountains in Yamagata Prefecture with sake (junmai daiginjo). It has a rich texture, and while it also has the sake-like taste of sake, the richness of the yogurt, moderate acidity, and milky flavor are irresistible! It is especially good chilled or on the rocks rather than straight.

I was attracted by the sound of "Pichi Pichi" and this simple bottle, a draft sake from Dharma Masamune, which is famous for its old sake. The color seems a little yellowish compared to sake often seen. When I drank it, the sweetness was very rich! It is a strong flavor that spreads from the tip of the tongue, so even though it is a draft sake, you can savor it little by little rather than gulping it down. (It is not carbonated, but it does not seem to be carbonated in any particular way.) (It is not carbonated, but it is not carbonated in a special way.) Although it is not matured yet, I can feel the unique flavor of old sake. It was a drink that made me realize how many different kinds of sake there really are, and it was delicious!

I bought this bottle because of the label. As the description says, it is low-alcohol, and although it is nigori (cloudy), it is easy to drink. It tastes sweet and sour, like a combination of amazake and calpis mixed with carbonated water.... I drank it on the rocks, which is recommended this time, and it tastes refreshing and easy to drink!

At the danchu festival. I was intrigued by the key phrase "ice-aged" and tried this sake. It is not very old sake-like, but surprisingly, it has the atmosphere of a sake. The taste is light, but the flavor is robust, with a lingering aftertaste that can be savored even in small quantities! I felt like eating udon or soba noodles after drinking it, so personally, I think it would probably go well with warm soup stock.

At danchu festival. (Top right photo) Anyway, it is sweet and sour! Even those who don't like the so-called sake-like taste or the strong alcohol taste will find this sake tasty. It is slightly carbonated and slightly thickened, so you can enjoy it as an after-dinner dessert. It was delicious! (According to the staff, it is especially popular among women.)

At danchu festival. (Bottom left photo) This is one of the sake that was selected by the booth staff as a sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It really has a clean and refreshing aftertaste, and the mouthfeel is very light. Personally, I found it to have a strange taste, somewhere between sweet and dry. The alcohol taste is not too strong, and it is very versatile, either on its own or with a meal! I would definitely drink it again.

The "88" was served with sushi. It was very good to taste it while it was well chilled! Even when chilled, the sake does not have a strong taste, and although it looks light on the outside, it is round and soft in the mouth, as if it were slightly thick. It has a sweetness and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, but the taste is not too strong, so it was a wonderful sake that kept on going and going.

It is a light, easy-drinking sake with a soft, old sake-like flavor and a sake-like taste. Personally, I particularly enjoyed it when it was served cold, as it was refreshing and had the unique flavor of old sake. When it is close to room temperature, it tastes a little dry, and you can enjoy different tastes depending on the temperature!

It was very tasty, with a fluffy aroma typical of old sake, a light taste, and a hint of sweetness. Old sake has a unique flavor, but this one is not too strong, and even those who don't like the strong taste of sake can enjoy it! I had it with mizutaki and it was very tasty, so I think it would go well with soup stock and meat.

It is so fluffy, sweet and sour that you would think it was slightly carbonated. But it is not too sweet, not too spicy, and very well balanced! It seems to go well as a stand-alone drink or as a food wine. Personally, I like it very much!
