Spring Nigorinpic 68 The light nigorigo sake we drank today from Honkin-san was also a delicious sake😇. From the moment the bottle is opened, a beautiful and gorgeous aroma is rising 😇. As usual, I mixed it with the supernatant at room temperature and left the mixture chilled 🤣. I felt there was not much difference between the two 😀. The taste and aroma were not so different no matter what way I drank it 😇.

Spring Nigorinpik 67 This sake was also purchased at the last brewery we visited on our trip to Ueda Nagano. Actually, at the Winter Nigorinpic, I bought this Orikarami from Yoshinoya who was just in Hanshin Department Store and it was very easy to drink and reasonably priced 😀. I went to the brewery with a similar image, but when I saw the price, I was a little bit disappointed 🤣. I asked the brewer about it and he told me that the sake they sell at the brewery and the sake they bring to events are completely separate 😅. Finally, the one I could afford was this 500ml sake 😀. The taste is like a slurpy, sloppy, dobrok-like saké with a sparkling finish ❓🤣. Usually sparkling sake has fine bubbles, but this one was like a big bubble like in the Bozu Jigoku (hell) of Beppu Onsen (hot spring), which is a new sensation for me 🤣. The taste is very elegant, just like a pure Dai sake 😇. The gap between the appearance and taste of this sake is very interesting.

Good evening, Yasbaye 🦉. I see that the one you are bringing to the event is not available at the brewery 😳and it is expensive💦but the taste seems to be worth the price and I would like to experience the ❣️ gap😆.

Today's sake is also purchased from the brewery 😀. As you can see from the picture, it's a very thick and serious sake😇. The brewery didn't have a tasting, so I thought it would be fun to buy it and take it home 😇. It has a strong mouthfeel, sweetness and umami taste, just like the amount of the cage 😀. But no matter how much I'm not a fan of taste, I can't really taste the rice flavor 😅. I looked closely and found that this was an alcohol-sweetened sake 😅. I assumed it was a junmai type nigori with this appearance and the amount of lees 🤣. It was a delicious sake, but not for my family who likes the robust rice flavor of nigori 🤣. I would recommend the fruity taste even if it is cloudy, but for those who want to feel the rice flavor, it might be a little bit different 😀. If you don't have any preconceived notions, it was a delicious sake 😀.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. Looks and labels are part of the attraction of alcohol 🧐, so I guess we all have preconceived notions 😅. It's different from what I expected! If it's not what you expected, but it's good, then it tastes even better 😙That's what's interesting about it!

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀. This sake had me firmly fooled 🤣. It was a standing nigori with a strong sense of rice, but a fruity, dark, sweet and delicious mouthful was waiting for me 🤣. These variants are interesting too 😀.

Today is my father's 99th birthday... his white life anniversary 😀 He is now in a nursing home in his hometown Shimonoseki 😅. He can only drink a little alcohol, but he loves to eat, and until the beginning of this year, every month he asked me to bring him some eel stew, but after he caught a cold in spring, he couldn't eat at all even though his fever had gone down 🥲. I was worried about him, so I went to see him, but he was so depressed that I wasn't sure if he even knew I was here🥲. But I am relieved to hear from the home that he started to eat a little more right after I left ὲ. I couldn't make it home for his birthday today, but Kaorin and I are having a toast while thinking of him 🥂. We chose to drink our family's standard celebratory sake...Shinshu Kamerei's 🥈🐢 today😇. Somehow I felt that silver would suit Hakusyu 🤣. The taste... this year's Gin Kame-san was definitely delicious😇.

Winter Nigorinpik 65 I bought this sake when I visited a brewery in Fushimi, Kyoto earlier 😀. I heard that this tank is only available at the brewery, and getting this kind of sake is one of the best parts of brewery tours, isn't it 😀. This is also a Junmai Daiginjo, so you can strongly smell the fruity aroma just by putting your nose close to it 😀. The more surprising thing is that it is a light nigori, so there is a small difference in the cloudiness of the white, but as usual, I brought it back to room temperature and compared it with the supernatant and the mixture, and they are completely different 🤣. The top clear has a strong umami flavor and a good sharpness, but the mixed one has a fruity sweetness that is also very pronounced and finishes off nicely😇. We are nigori fanatics and prefer to mix the two, but if you want a stronger umami taste, the supernatant may be better for you 🤣.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Good morning, Yasubeyesan! I think you can enjoy it because you have been to many breweries 🤗If you mix them, you can enjoy twice the difference in taste 😙.

Hi Nao888! I used to say that nigori is only complete when it is mixed, and I always drank it after mixing it, but nowadays I enjoy comparing the taste with the supernatant 🤣. But it's been a long time since I've tasted something so different 🤣.

Spring Nigorinpic 64 Yesterday, when I went to the Expo Park, I found an event called Curry EXPO 😇. So today I'm going to the Expo Park to participate in the Curry Expo again 😀. Now, which sake shall I serve with it ❓🤣. I like to pair curry with sparkling sake, but today I happened to see a friend of mine drinking a bottle of sake from Jukinmu, so I brought along a sparkling light nigori made with rice from our own Jukinmu sake rice 😇. It doesn't have much of an aroma, but the unique sparkling bubbles bring together the flavors of the curry deliciously😇. Sake and curry are both delicious😇 There were 30 curry stores, but Kaorin and I each selected 2 stores to compare 4 different sake curries🤣. Each of the four curries tasted different, but Wakanami's Jukinmu Sparkling Nigori complemented all the curries deliciously😇.

Hi Pon 😀 I believe that nigori sake with a strong aroma of rice will always go well with curry 🤣. But still, with 30 curry stores lined up, it's hard to decide which one to try😅.

Spring Nigorinpic 63 Expo is being held in Osaka, but the free passport for the duration of the Expo is 30,000 or so...I can't afford it 🤣. So I bought an annual pass for the previous Expo site in Suita🤣. The admission fee is 260 yen per visit and the annual pass is 3.600 yen, so if I go once a month, it will pay for itself 🤣. From now on, I plan to go to the Expo site in Suita whenever I have something to do, so I'll be going here more often 😀. Today's accompaniment for walking at the Expo was a bottle of Itami Morohaku Light Nigori that I bought at Hakusetsu-san, which I visited during the brewery's opening ceremony 😀 This sake is also sold at the brewery's limited sales. This sake is also a limited edition sake from the brewery and can only be drunk here 🤣. The most fun part of visiting breweries is that you can drink special sakes that you can't drink anywhere else😇. I don't think you can find this delicious mixture of freshness and beautiful sweetness anywhere else😇. Anyway, it was a delicious, fruity and wonderful sake😇.

Spring Nigorinpik 62 Today we will open another bottle of sake we got at the brewery 😀. Kaorin said we're having yakiniku today, so I chose a very dry sake 🤣. But I was prepared for it to be dry before I even opened the bottle 😅. I visited Ogawa Honke on my trip to Mie 😀. I was impressed by the integrity of the brewer who said he only makes dry sakes because I like dry sakes 😀. He is a local brewer who distributes locally, but when he made this winter white, his old local customers told him what a spicy nigori sake he was making 🤣. I was prepared from the beginning and took a sip 😇. It's sweet...hmmm❓...or spicy 🤣. It's amazing 🤣. But when I paired it with yakiniku (grilled meat), it drained off the fat from the meat nicely and was delicious 😇. I couldn't drink it by itself, but if you don't like nigori sake because it's too sweet, I highly recommend you to try this sake😇.

Hi Yasubeyesan 😃 Dry nigori‼️Yasbaye, I guess it was quite a challenging sake⁉️ I don't think I could do it on its own either, but I guess I could go for yakiniku 💦 or maybe not 😅The grace of the brewer is great👍

Spring Nigorinpic 61 I bought this sake at the brewery when I participated in a Kintetsu Train walking project earlier this year and walked from Saidaiji Temple in Nara to Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery near Obikaiji Temple via the Heijo Palace ruins 😀. It's a ginjo-shu, so even the nigori has a pretty gorgeous aroma 😀. As you can see, the nigori is quite robust, so it has a sweet sake-like feel on the palate, but you can still taste the robust rice flavor 😀. We compared it with Senzuke's light nigori, but the taste and atmosphere were completely different, and it was a good comparison that made us realize that there is a wide range of nigori sake.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 5️⃣ We met a lot of first time breweries at this year's Japanese Sake Fest😇. What surprised me was that even Naohiko Noguchi Institute was participating 🤣. There was a long line of people waiting for this booth as soon as the doors opened 😅. I was allowed to have one drink to commemorate the event, but I didn't really taste it because it was too much of a hassle to wait in line so many times 😅. I was able to compare the sake from the other booths easily, so I preferred to take my time and enjoy the other breweries rather than just waiting in line for the sake from Mr. Noriguchi 😇. There were many other sake breweries that I tasted for the first time, like Kiso Sansen, but my favorite sake of the festival was this one...Hanayuki Ageha Sparkling by Kawazu Shuzo in Kumamoto 😇. The bottle was eye-catching with a beautiful print of a swallowtail butterfly, but the taste was just delicious and one of the most refreshing and delicious sake sparklings I have ever had 😇. I had a great time at the sake festival this time and had a lot of fun meeting people and experiencing new things 😇. The next Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Summer will be held again on July 12.13 at the same Osaka Bay Tower 😀. I hope to participate again as a volunteer 😇

Good evening, Yasube, 🌛I've never had any of Kumamoto's sake, so I'm jealous 🤤The best part about festivals like this is that you get to compare drinks for the first time ✨I'll keep my fingers crossed now that you don't have plans for the summer festival schedule 😌.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 4️⃣ This is another sake that we brought back from Taido, the brewery we helped at the Japanese Sake Festival😇. This limited edition sake was empty with 10 minutes left until the last minute 😅. When I asked the brewer what to do, he said to open the bottle because some customers still wanted to drink it, so I did. The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt it was very sweet and fruity, but at the end, a beautiful spiciness followed and it was a very easy-to-drink sake. The sake from this brewery has a sake level of around 0, and I was a little worried about the sweetness when I was allowed to drink it on site, but I was told by the brewer that this was the dry type of sake, so I recommended it to customers who prefer dry sake when explaining the sake, and I felt I was right 😇.

Yasubeyesan☀️Good morning‼️ Kumamoto sake‼️Nice & thanks to the customer for rushing in❤️I see that even if the aroma and the beginning of the drink is sweet, if it ends up dry and sharp, it will certainly be a dry sake overall🧐It is a sake that will go well with food🥰.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 3️⃣ On Saturday, when I attended as a guest at this year's Japanese Sake Fest, I mainly toured sake that I had yet to try 😀. First of all, I was most interested in Endo Sake Brewery, which is famous for Comet, my favorite sake from Nagano, which I had not had yet😇. I have known the name Comet for a long time and was curious about it, but unfortunately I had never seen it sold yet 🤣. Comet 39MCNAUGHT Junmai Daiginjo It was a very beautiful but gorgeous yet clear and nice sake 😇 Naotora Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake This was the most robust of the Endo Sake Brewery's sake this time, but it had a full flavor. It was a beautifully crisp sake 😀. Endo GOLD Junmai Daiginjo It is slightly low in alcohol at 14%, but it was a beautiful and delicious sake with a fresh aroma and sweetness with a fruity feeling that reminded me of melon😇. Keiryu Sparkling It was a delicious sake that I had a hard time deciding which one I liked best, Endo GOLD or Keiryuu 😇. The taste was very similar and delicious, but I preferred this sake more for the sparkling's schwarziness😇. All of them are delicious sakes with the same presence as my favorite Nagano sake lineage, but with a delicious flavor, fruity taste, and a nice sharpness😇.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 2️⃣ Spring Nigorinpic 60 Today, I spent all day at the Japanese Sake Festival venue, pouring sake for visitors at this brewery's booth 😀. The brewery owner was a nice person and recommended that I drink the sake to make sure it tastes good because I'm sure the customers will ask a lot of questions 😇. The sake from this brewery is almost exclusively distributed within the prefecture, so of course it was my first time drinking it, but it was really delicious 😇. The sake I liked the most was the Arabashiri light nigori that I had yesterday, but my second favorite was this Pink Taido 😀 Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to try the light nigori or the pink Taido, so I had to wait until the next day to try them. Unfortunately, all of the light nigori was gone after the tasting and sales, but the sake I liked next was left, so I was able to have it as a thank you for today's visit😇. It was the first time for me to see the customers from the staff's side, and I was happy to see them smile when they drank it and said it was delicious😇.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 1️⃣ There are many sake events in Kansai during the year, but the event that our family recommends the most is the Japanese Sake Fest 😀. It's an event where you can get close to the breweries and feel their thoughts directly😇. Last year it was held 3 times during the year, and it looks like it will be held 3 times again this year 😀. The first spring sake event of the year will be held at the Osaka Bay Tower today and tomorrow 😇 This time, I will not only participate as a customer, but also as a volunteer staff 🤣. Yesterday, Friday, I took a half day off from work and participated in the event from setting up the venue 😀. It was just like when I was a student and I had a great time 🙆. On Sunday I will be there as a staff member, but today Kaorin and I went there as customers 😇. First up is Taido from Chiyonen Sake Brewery in Kumamoto 😀. This is my first time drinking here 😀. I mean, Taido is brewed and sold jointly by Chiyozonoen and a local liquor store 😀. I had Daiginjo, Junmai Shiboritate and Usu-Nigori and I really liked the Usu-Nigori the best 😇. I plan to help out at this brewery 🙆 tomorrow.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀 It's not often that we get a chance to do something like this, so it was fun to be able to taste all sides of the event at once😇. And I'm glad to know that Taido is a delicious sake that is distributed almost exclusively in Kumamoto Prefecture 😇.

Spring Nigorinpic 58 On the way back from this year's Shoreki-ji Bodai-Hashiroshi Sake Festival, I walked to the Ogami-jinja Shrine to visit the three sake shrines and stopped by Imanishi Shuzo's Ekimae store in front of the JR station for a little New Year's tasting😇. I was going to leave without buying anything (I already bought a bottle of Takacho's Bodhi Hashiroshi at Shoreki-ji Temple after crying to Kaorin 🤣) because my cellar and fridge were full that day, but this sake was so good that I cried to Kaorin and bought this one too 😅. This sake is really delicious after all🙆⭕️🙆 It has a very nice shwashiness, which is combined with the original sweet and fruity taste, and the moderate acidity gives it a nice clean finish 😇 I was impressed by how they can make such a delicious sake😇. Mimurosugi is also delicious, but I still prefer the local limited-edition Sake 🙆😇.

Good evening, Nao888! If you have a chance, please visit Sanmorosugi-san from Ogami-sha Shrine😇. The main brewery and the store on the approach to Ojin Shrine do not offer paid tasting, but you can do it at the store in front of JR station😇.

Spring Nigorinpik 57 This is another sake I bought at the Nada brewery tour at the end of last year, the same as yesterday's Dewaka-san 😀. I've only tasted a bit of Senzuke at a previous event, but this is the first time I've had the chance to take some home 🤣. If you think you can buy it anytime, you will never get a chance to take it home 😅. And since the brewery is closed on weekends, it was closed every time I passed by 😅. I was able to buy it at the storehouse this time because it was open only during the winter season😇. It tasted like a fruity with less sweetness...ummakuchi fruity 😀. Actually, my family loves sweet and fruity sake and we were a big fan of Hanamup, but after comparing it with Shinshu Kamerei and Senzuke this time, I feel like Hanamup is a little lacking 😅. I wonder if my taste buds have changed a little bit after having a variety of sakes ❓🤣.

Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😃. We would like to try Senzuke 😋 but on the contrary we don't have a chance 🥲I sometimes want to drink Sukkiri after a long time of sweet and strong 🤔I guess it's the opposite at Yasbaye's place 🤗Our taste preferences are moving around 😅.

Hi Yasbay 😃. Thanks for contacting me 🙇‍♂️ I guess you have to post locally for far away places such as travel destinations 😭. I still don't know much about how to use sakéwa, and I didn't know how to reply to your comment earlier, so here I am 😅.

Hi Yasbaye 🐦. Senzuke Orikarami is delicious 😻It's a sake I'm thinking of drinking at home someday 😊. I'm a Hana Yuu fan too, but I love this type too ❣️ I'm having trouble finding more and more flavors I like 😂.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 Thankfully, I've been able to learn about many different types of delicious sake, so it seems that my taste buds are expanding a little bit 😀. I hope you will have a chance to try Senzuke if you have a chance 😇.

Hello, Maa-san 🙆 I am also a beginner who has been in Sake no Wa for a year and a half, but everyone in Sake no Wa is very kind, so you should enjoy yourself while getting used to it little by little🙆. You can reply to their posts as is 🙆⭕️😇

Good evening, Nao888 😀 It's a great location to be able to visit sake breweries in between work...I'm jealous😇! I too was basically a sweet and fruity person, but it seems I've expanded my horizons a little bit 😇.

Spring Nigorinpic 56 This is Mr. Tokuwaka from Bandai Osawa who we visited during our brewery tour at the end of last year 😀. One of the fun things about getting sake on a brewery tour is that you can get sake that is limited to the brewery or region that you normally can't buy😇. This Tokuwaka-san is mainly sold at the brewery, so you probably won't be able to get it at all in other areas 😅. I have visited this brewery several times before and was allowed to drink nigori sake at the brewery, but this time I just happened to take home the light nigori that had just been made and bottled the day before and there was no tasting available😇. The brewery had not yet prepared the sake for tasting, so I guess this was the first sake I drank after getting it 🤣. The nigori sakes I've been allowed to drink so far had a less dry taste, but the light nigori, especially the supernatant that was brought to room temperature, had a very robust taste. The nigori sake I was allowed to drink tasted quite dry and restrained 🤣. The lees were very small and didn't cloud up when mixed, but the mixture was very rich and flavorful 😇. It's a pity that this kind of seriously made sake is not released to the world 😅.

Good evening, Yasbaye 🦉. I have never seen this brand 😳and it is quite rare that it is mainly sold in warehouses👍✨It makes me want to go on a warehouse tour when I hear something like this, but it is great that you are able to find a warehouse to go to😊.

Good morning, Yasbaye 🌞I've never heard of this place before 🍶It's exquisitely hard to get to in terms of location, but it's quirky ✨️ I used to work near a brewery in Nada, but I've only had Fukuju and Sensuke 😅.

Hi Pon 😀 I think this sake is probably almost not well-known 😅. But I like this brewery because when I talk to the brewer, he is very polite, kind and serious 😀. Please come to Nada for a brewery tour 😇

Hi Nao888 😀 We always have sake soba at Fukuju-san at the goal every time, but we change the course every time we walk along the way, so there are new encounters and discoveries every time😇. Too bad Senzuke-san is closed on weekends except in winter 🤣.

Hi Robin 😀 It's a small brewery with a nice atmosphere 😇 They charge for tasting, but you can drink a variety of old sake, so you can enjoy it even if you don't buy it 😀. They sell nigori and nigori-sugorori at the end of the year 😀.

Spring Nigorinpic 55 I was in the mood for a bit of a shwashy sake today, so I got this Bikuyo's Usunigori Sparkling😇. As expected of a sparkling sake, even though I opened the bottle carefully, the automatic stirring started as soon as I opened it🤣. As expected of a junmai daiginjo, it had a fruity aroma, but the taste was very clear 😀. However, the acidity from the shuwashu carbonation was very effective, and it was a delicious sake that didn't interfere with the meal 😇. By the way, I paired it with shabu-shabu today and it was delicious😇.

Spring Nigorinpic 54 Today I suddenly had to go to work in the morning 😅. My office is next to Osaka Castle and I finish work before noon, so I asked Kaorin to come to Osaka Castle and we had a sake lunchtime drink two days in a row🌸. The cherry blossoms at Osaka Castle were at their best 🌸. My workplace and Kaorin's workplace are both near here, so I'm used to seeing the same scenery all the time, but the mood changes when I have sake and bento. Today's sake was locally brewed and was Tobiroku by Dewazakura. This is my first time drinking Dewazakura, but I chose it because it is a slightly sparkling nigori sake and because of the cherry blossom petals on the label🌸. The aroma and mouthfeel are gently nuanced, but the carbonation from the fizz effectively accentuates the taste 😇

Hello, Yasube-san! You have a great ability to turn a sudden schedule into an opportunity for sake activities 🌸. I haven't tried Dewazakura yet, but I've seen many delicious-looking levies, so I'd like to try it 😋. Sake outdoors is also good 😊.

Spring Nigorinpic 53 I walked to the Expo Park in Suita this morning with a tent and a large table😇. I'm going to enjoy sake at a place where I can see the most beautiful cherry blossoms in the Expo Park😇. I came to this place with a tent and a table just like this time last year, but that time I had Ozeyuki which I got yesterday as an accompaniment 😇. This year, I decided to go with Sakura OHANAMI by Senkori 😇. Kaorin had issued a ban on purchasing this sake, but after reading Nao888's and others' posts, I really wanted to try this year's sake, so I told Kaorin that it was for the cherry blossom viewing so I could bring it along 🤣. The sake was made differently and as you said, it had a more umami flavor with a carbonated acidity that made it perfect for Hanami 😇 Tochigi Ai no Hanami Sake 🌸 was very delicious 😀.

Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛You went for the cherry blossoms 🍶The cherry blossoms look very nice against a background of a light nigori 🌸It's light and refreshing yet delicious, perfect for hanami 🤤We've definitely met somewhere already ✨️
