The "Takashi" from Aichi that I posted before was quite tasty... so I was curious and bought the second one, this one is called Harukageiro ☘️😆. It's been cold for a long time this year and it hasn't warmed up yet, but I've opened it 😂. This one...in a word... "delicious😋". That's all anyone can say, so I'll spell it out in a little more detail: ‼️ When you open the bottle, you'll be greeted with a fruity ginjo aroma ✨green apple? Green apple 🍎 grape? Well, that's it, that's the "this is delicious..." aroma you get before you drink it 😉. The first sip, the piquancy of the sake is quite thin, but the umami and sweetness come through from the very beginning...and the bitterness is almost non-existent and the sharpness is excellent ✨. But if you are looking for pichi or shuwa, it might be a little lacking😅

Weekend 🌃 makes my heart sing ❗️...simply because of the timing of drinking. lol Well, I've been saving my Hall of Fame brand "Jigokin" in the fridge, missing the opportunity to open it for a long time... It's about time to open it ❗️ and took out the "Nigori Sake Nama 🍶" from the various stocks I have in the fridge 😁. It had been stored for a while since I got it, so it must have aged a little ⁉️... I had a hard time opening the bottle😅. Every time I open it a little, the sake almost overflows with the aroma 😱 (see picture 📷) The fizziness is amazing 🥰, on the same level as the Machida brewery I opened the other day. And the aroma is green apple🍏 sour✨. One sip and the aroma and umami... sweetness, pizzazz of the raw sake... it's a big circus in the mouth 😆. I can't stop drinking this one 👍. Compared to the Machida Shuzo that I was drinking yesterday and the day before, the taste is similar, but Machida's is drier and more effervescent: 🙂‍↕️ I opened the bottle and the fizziness was so strong that the oli was stirred up quite a bit... I was hoping to enjoy the difference with just the top clear... but it's really delicious and I can't stop 😋. Day 2! The pizzazz has gone down a bit but still going strong😁. More sweetness ⤴️ Personally, the second day is the best 🥰.

When the sake breweries start shipping out the fresh sake every day... we tend to buy more and before we know it, our fridge is full 😨. So....even though it's a weekday, I have no choice but to open the fridge, so I'm going to break a taboo and open the fridge 😆. It's been a while since I've had a bottle of Machida Shuzo 🍶 Miyamanishiki🌾 nigori ❗️ As the note ⚠️ says... it didn't blow up when I slowly opened the bottle, but it smelled like melon🍈 in the air with a very fizzy feeling🫧😍 (the schwag (2) feeling is awesome as you can see in the picture! The sweetness of the melon is more apparent in the first sip than in the taste, which is more like a refreshing Sue Fat Dry 😊The texture is much more tingling + dry than sweet 👌. It's been a while since I've had a sake with a very strong fizzy feeling 🍶. If it's after a bath in the summer, it's definitely going to be gone in a blink of an eye 🤣. However, I feel like it's not as sweet as it smells when you open it, so there might be that gap😅. The fizziness is quite strong, so on the contrary, I think it would taste better if it calmed down a bit after tomorrow 😌. Looking forward to it again tomorrow: ❗️ Day 2 report 📖. I still feel the fizziness 🫧 on the second day because the original was so strong, but I think it has calmed down a little 😁, and there is more flavor and sweetness 🥰 on the second day. Personally I prefer the 2nd day 😘.

Today's second bottle is Kitayuki from Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture: ☃️ Last time I drank Kitayuki for the first time... I had a personal image of it as the best sake for a meal 🍶 with its sharp taste even with oily food such as yakitori🐔. I was excited to open a bottle of the draft sake, as my personal image of Kitayuki was firmly established: ☺️ As expected, the aroma is only faintly noticeable since it is a less polished junmai (pure rice). It is not very strong. And when you take a sip, you can hardly feel the piquancy of the raw sake... but...! Hmmm! 😳 While feeling the sweetness on the tongue, when swallowed, it has a complex interplay of bitterness, moderate spiciness, and sharpness like a dry 🍺 throat, which is also... delicious 😋. I think even those who are exclusively beer drinkers will be satisfied with the taste. ❗️ I think Hokusetsu can be used as a food wine, and can be drunk in place of beer 👌👌. I have a strong image of Shinzawa Brewery who brews Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsuri when it comes to food sake...but I like Hokusetsu because of its different taste 😁. ps. I'm drinking it in a wine glass for the sake of drinking, but I recommend a boar's mouth 🍶 lol I'm going to report on the second day! The dry bitterness that I felt on the first day is lessened and the umami is slightly increased ⬆️ 😁. This is pretty good ✨

Well, well, well! Hwagane finally arrived 😏 (dead language at the earliest...lol) The second edition of our Hiran Festival held from the previous week: ❗️ Tonight, we're opening a bottle of Kagura's unfiltered raw 🍶😍. I've already had the hi-iri in my past reviews, but this is my first time drinking the raw 🥰. Now it's time to open the bottle! And what do you think... it already has a gorgeous, fruity, apple-like ginjo aroma ✨. I can tell it's delicious by the aroma before I even drink it 😅I'm sure all of you sakewa users can relate to this! LOL! ...and then a sip, and you can feel the sharpness of the sake (see picture) on your tongue 👅 while the clear apple soda water-like flavor rushes through you 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ with a wonderful sharp aftertaste 🔪. Well, well...I'm just going to be intoxicated by the level of deliciousness again 🤪. Mmmm, seriously delicious 😋😋. I wish I could tell someone about this taste... 😅 Aside from that, it looks like we're going to make another flying lran breakthrough this year: ❗️ I'll be super excited for tomorrow's flavor change as well 😆 lol Day 2ooooo🗒️ I think the pizzazz has decreased a bit, but it's still going strong😍and the umami has improved⤴️ I love how the umami improves, it's something that only sake can do 😊.

Yesterday's Kaze no Mori🌳 was consumed in one day because of the lesson learned from the last time I drank it... so today I'm drinking my favorite sake brewery's Hiran🤩! I've been stocking up on all kinds of Hiran... so from now on, every weekend will be a Hiran festival 🎉 for a while 🤣. I noticed that the Sake no.1 app is now ranked number 1 in Nagasaki Prefecture ✨I myself drank it once... and now I can't live without it anymore 😂laughs I'm sorry for the long preamble, but we opened a bottle of "Rinne Tensei" today 🍶. When I opened the bottle, I could smell the fruity aroma with a nice spontaneous sound 😁. The first sip has a piquant, raspberry-like sour taste with a slight bitterness and a nice sharpness👍. I think I might feel a little bit of alcohol in the aftertaste. It is more for before and after meals than during meals 🥰. And check out the oli settling at the bottom of the bottle: ❗️ Stirred and had a second glass 😍(see picture for changes). Bitterness is a bit less and more mild ‼️ I personally prefer to drink it stirred 😊. Speaking of Hiran, the taste change after the second day is also quite promising, so I'll hold out and hope for tomorrow so I don't finish it on the first day😅. Day 2 + stirring✨ More flavor ⬆️, same piquancy, less bitterness, I like it a lot 😁.

This week, commuting was difficult due to the cold wave 🥶. And to top it all off, I had to work excessive overtime 😭. On such a weekend... today, I opened a bottle of Kaze no Mori (Wind Forest), which is a good cost beer after a long time 🍶. The moment I removed the outer stopper...the stopper lightly floated away 😰...it didn't spill, but it was a moment when I felt that Sake is a real thing 😆. Now that it's safely opened, I can smell the aroma...hmmm? It's only slightly noticeable 😆. When you take a sip, you can feel the piquancy of the raw sake, and then the bitterness, miscellaneous tastes, and alcohol come in. Akitsuho has a unique taste with some peculiarities. However, it has a sharpness first, so it could be a good mid-meal drink as long as you don't eat heavy meat dishes. Personally, however, I prefer the Oumachi that I drank before 🧐. I would say that the price is close (about 1,500 yen), and in terms of personal taste preference... Kirei type is Junmai (pure rice) from Kyuyo Masamune. For food sake, Hakurakusei's special junmai🌾✨. For a heated sake, Kamerei's Happichi Junmai🌾🌾. I wonder if I will be able to find a cosy sake that will break my personal stronghold of non-alcoholic sake this year... 😁.

Before I know it... it's already February⁉️ It seems like just the year before last...maybe it's my age, but it seems to be accelerating... 😓. By the way, yesterday's Uguisu...as usual, it disappeared before the second day, so I'll get back on track...lol I opened a bottle of Umeko, which I bought the label for 🍶. The aroma is slightly fruity 😆. And then... from the first sip, it has a strong sweetness and umami, with a little bit of the pithiness of nama-zake at the end 🥰. The bitterness is only slightly perceptible, and the taste is generally gentle. It is quite delicious 😋. I think "like a tropical juice" on the back label is not wrong 😊. It's more for before and after dinner than as a food drink 👌. Looking forward to tomorrow's taste change 🤩. Day 2: 🗒️ More tropical like pineapple🍍🏝️ flavor⤴️ the pizzazz I felt yesterday is still gone... but I think it's generally more intense✨. This is... delicious 😋.

Friday's annual opening event at our house 🤭. Well, tonight...🌙 First open bottle of Uguisu🦜 from Fukuoka! To be honest...I wanted to start with a non-sparkling sake🍶, but I happened to be able to buy this one😓. As soon as I opened the bottle, I was a little cautious because it is a sparkling sake... The aroma reminds me of sparkling wine, and I don't feel the slightest bit like sake 😁. And from the very first sip, the taste is very similar to that of a wine rosé 🥰. The sweet and sour taste is addictive ✨. In fact... if you were blindfolded, you'd probably mistake it for a rosé😅. It's just that you can't stop from tasting it lol. ...and as I was looking at the bottle, I noticed...there's some oli settling 🤩🤩... So I stirred it once and took a second sip! I stirred it once and took a second sip... just no big change as I expected😅. But it's so easy to drink that if I drink it after a bath or something, it'll be gone instantly 😂. Next time I want to try the regular one? I'd like to try the garden 😻

When I come home tired from my daily work, I can't control my weekday taboos... 😓. And with the return of the cold weather, it's been cold again lately 🥶. So I was thinking of repeating the heated sake "Suru Suru Gentle Heated Sake" from Kamo Kanehide that I introduced earlier... but they had already finished it for this season 😂. Then... I remembered this special Junmai (green label) that is heated all year round 😁. I usually only drink this sake chilled, but last year... I remembered Mr. Kanemitsu, the toji (master brewer), talking about how good it tastes when heated up on his online archive 📺, so I ended up opening it 🤭. Let's put the preamble aside and take a sip cold as usual ✨The fresh piquancy of Kamogane is still present even when heated, and it has a moderate umami taste 😋. But...! The main issue is here... lol. When heated up, the steam from the hot sake overflows with umami flavor 😊. And now...! Mmmm! It tastes a bit spicier, but this... is much more of a food sake than a cold one. ‼️ It's nice to be able to enjoy it both cold and warmed up... 🥰. But...I still can't forget that heated sake - maybe I'll buy two bottles next season! I'll probably buy two bottles next season 🤭. The second day, it loses the piquancy of the first day...but I like the umami of the second day better 😆. Somehow I want to add them and divide by 2 🤭.

While getting into the taste change on the second day of Urasato... I drank it all and was not satisfied, so I opened a bottle of local sake 🍶🤭. This one is a cosy cat🐈 label from Kanemitsu Shuzo's "Sakurafukiyuki" sake with aluzake. (There is some speculation, but I am almost certain that it is because Mr. Kanemitsu, the brewer, is a cat lover. Now, putting such unimportant information aside... I have an image that I dislike alcoholic sake... or that I get drunk badly 😅I think that's a thing of the past (or all-you-can-drink sake in chain stores)... but... But.... It's been a while since I've opened a bottle 🍶. I still think it's different from Kamo Kanehide...no pizzazz. The taste is like a middle-class sake, and the unobtrusive umami, sweetness, and spiciness are just right 👌. It's more like a sake to drink with rice instead of beer 🍺. It's a good price for a good drink 👌.

Second bottle today 😁. First open bottle of Jungin🍶 from Urasato, Ibaraki. The aroma is a moderate ginjo aroma + a slight alcohol taste 😁. From the first sip, you can feel the sweetness and umami that belies the ginjo aroma 🤩. The sharpness is also very fast, which I personally like 😊. I can hardly taste any bitterness in the aftertaste. I can hardly feel any bitterness in the aftertaste 😊...but! It's a strange taste with a bit of pizzazz at the end 💖. I tend to taste any sake by itself, but this one would be a perfect pairing with sushi or sashimi 👌 How will it taste tomorrow? I'm sure you'll love it 😆. Day 2 report: 🗒️ ...Hey! Did it taste like this yesterday? 😱. I feel like I'm suddenly getting closer to the lemon🍋-like sour and refreshing taste of Senkou: ‼️ but I can feel a good amount of alcohol 🥰. Yeah, what the heck 😳 Personally...I can't miss it on the first day or the second day...😁

Finally weekend... 😓. I'm so tired that I can't go home on time 😭... That's when I drink my favorite brand "Takachiyo" and today I'd like to introduce you to Shintaka ‼️ The label...it looks like the first plane of E Fatty lol🤭. E TYPE is too meaningful to begin with 🤣. But let's put the preamble aside, when you open the bottle, you can already smell the aroma of grape 🍇🤩. I had high expectations even before drinking it 🤩‼️ And it doesn't disappoint, as you can see in the picture ❓It's so fresh 🤤. And once you take a sip... the grape flavor + a good amount of sake 🍶 will make you addicted to it, it's just too good to stop 🥰.... If I were to describe it in terms of a soft drink, it would be "◯anta grape🍇". Of course, it is an alcoholic beverage, so it is strictly forbidden for children🚫, but I have a feeling that even children can drink it by mistake... Hmmm....I wonder if it will last until tomorrow 😅 The second day I managed to keep it: ❗️ Evolved to a sweet and sour taste from the first day✨ Most of the time, the second day, it loses its piquancy.......but as expected from Shintaka, it's a little bit more piquancy 🙂! The piquancy of the first day 🫧. It's a different taste that I can't stop 🤭. However, the second day may have a slightly stronger alcohol 🍸 feel.

Today skiing ⛷️ due to fatigue...? LOL! The direct sales limited that I had gotten last week...I just had to open it 🤭. This is the limited edition Jun Dai-Seme from the direct sales shop. The process of squeezing sake includes "arabashiri," "chukumi," and "hitame," but there is no strict classification of the three, and each sake brewery may have its own classification. But that may differ from brewery to brewery. It's delicious even before you drink it.... The aroma, the umami, the sweetness, the sharpness of the aftertaste...well...Kamo Kinshu never disappoints 😍 The fruity aroma 🍎, the piquancy that only Kamo Kinshu can give you...and the sharpness that doesn't interfere with the slight bitterness in the aftertaste.... Delicious ......🥰 I'm not patronizing it because it's local, it's just delicious 😅. When you come to the island, please patronize this Kamogane... 🤭. Second day 🗒️ Even more delicious... 🤩.

Second bottle today 😁. The first bottle of Fukushima, Aizumusume 😏. When I opened the bottle... the sake-like alcoholic aroma is rather stronger than the ginjo aroma 😅.

The sharpness is also well balanced without any unnecessary bitterness 👌... but the aftertaste is a bit strong 👌... but the aftertaste is a bit strong 👌. ...but the aftertaste is a little bit on the downside 😅.

However, as all Sake-no-wa users know... the taste changes dramatically right after opening the bottle and after the second day! I'm sure many of you have experienced this... so I'll look forward to tomorrow's report 😁. See you tomorrow at ‼️🤭 Day two: 🗒️ No change in aroma, the initial taste seems to have increased⬆️ but the rest of the taste did not change that much...

Weekend Huakin ❗️ I wonder if "weekend gold" is now a dead word... 😓. Well, it is true that I have less chances to drink at izakaya (pubs) on weekends than when I was young.... In the first place, it is sad to see that young people are seriously losing interest in drinking 😢. The old Japanese style of drinking and socializing is going away... 😞. But let's put the preamble aside..., Today, a friend of mine bought me a limited-edition sake from a direct-sale store, so I opened the bottle with a sense of gratitude 😁. When you open the bottle, the aroma is not that strong ❓The first sip has a great effervescence and it's more of a schwa than a pichi ✨. The balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness is quite exquisite 😍. I can drink this after taking a bath instead of beer 🍺. To be honest, the taste change on the second day after the schwarziness settles down is very... very interesting... but I don't have the capacity to enjoy that taste change 😭. That's my only complaint...I can't stop drinking it...🤣 Sorry for not being able to report on the taste change lol😆😆

Just when I thought that tomorrow would finally be the end of this week, my body, now in tired mode after working overtime today, is craving sake 🍶... 🥱... 🥱. Then, it's just a matter of flow to open it... 🤭. Today is the first time to open the bottle of Mikawa Bushy ❗️ which I got from an acquaintance 😁. When I opened the bottle, I could smell the Jungin aroma... but it was more like the aroma of sake at the same time😅. The spiciness and the alcohol taste mixed together in the mouth when I took a sip, it is quite suitable for a mealtime drink ‼️ I think this is a sake for everyday drinking.... I guess there are different tastes, but it's not that it's outstandingly delicious... 😓. If you want to drink it as a food sake, Hakurakusei and Hokusetsu are definitely my personal favorites👌👌. I have yet to find a sake that surpasses them... 😢. Let's see what kind of food sake I can find this year... ☺️

My favorite brand of sake to drink at the beginning of the new year is Hiran... a fresh brew that is only available at this time of the year among the "Nikkomaru" brand of year-round sake 😍. To be honest...it was not the regular sake that got me hooked on Hiran, but the first time I drank Heaven 😅(see my past post for details). So...it's actually my first time with a classic lol 😆. In! I knew it was brewed with Nikomaru, an edible rice 🌾, so I opened it with that background knowledge 😁. When I opened the bottle, I could smell a different aroma from that of Yamadanishiki or Omachi...but it smelled delicious and I could also smell the complexity of the rice used for food. The aroma is very complex and you can feel the complexity of the rice. When you drink it, you will of course feel the piquancy that is typical of the Tobiran style, but the taste is unique. ❗️ ...I guess this is the taste of "Nikkomaru". It's a little hard to describe in words 😓. But it's delicious! It's delicious! It's like the first soda I've ever had 🤭. If I were to use an analogy...it would be like the same cola tastes different depending on the manufacturer.... By the way... at the end of last year, I drank Nikomaru Hi-iri at an izakaya and it was not tasty at all 😢It had been quite a while since I opened the bottle and it had deteriorated a lot.... I thought that drinking it at a restaurant is a good and bad thing...

The rice wine was delicious, but it traveled to the fridge in anticipation of a taste change...so...second bottle today 🤭 lol First open bottle, Daishichi from Fukushima ❗️ I bought a 300ml bottle to try 😁. When I opened the bottle... oh, this is... the dry aroma of a Japanese sake 😆. However, I felt a cheap brewing alcohol-like aroma, so I double-checked the label...it's definitely junmai sake 💧. Anyway, I changed from the wine glass 🥂 to 🍶 in which I was drinking Tasake lol. The first sip is very dry and even after pouring it down the mouth... it still has a strong dry aftertaste 😄. Even if you drink it cold, the alcohol will warm you up 🔥. First of all, this sake is clearly for sake lovers😅. It's not the fruity and sweet wine taste of today...it's more like the old fashioned way. I like this one as a genre though 😊. Not only sake, but everyone has different taste preferences...so if you want to try different sake for the first time, it would be better to go with a versatile drinker who can drink anything 😅If you don't like the taste, it would be a shame to leave it behind 😢. ps...I heated it up and it was just as I expected...better for heating sake than cold sake ❗️

Another weekend opening day has come this year 😁Noticing that the year has already started...it's already the 10th of the year ❗️ I am under the illusion that time is passing faster and faster every year 💧. But that preamble aside... today, we opened a New Year bottle of Tasake🌾🎍🍶. When you open the bottle, it has a nice ginjo aroma and a little bit of richness 😍If you take a sip, you can feel a hint of the piquancy of the raw sake...and while it has a robust Tasake-like flavor, it also has a fruity sweetness 👍If you compare it to beer 🍺, it has a lighter Super Do Fat, whereas it has a stronger umami flavor ◯Shibori, or a similar nuance. I wonder if the nuance is close to the lightness of Super Do Fat. ⁉️ The aftertaste is a bit bitter, but not too bitter. But it's not too bitter, so it's easy to drink 👌 Well...how will it taste tomorrow ✨❓❓ ps. the pairing may be just right as long as it's not a fatty dish like meat 😁. Second day! Almost no change in aroma ✨ I thought it would lose some of its pizzazz, but it's still there more than I expected 😁. The flavor is also slightly more delicious ⤴️ The flavor did not change drastically from the first day to the second day 👌

Good morning, Mr. Koi Seagull 😃! Time really seems to be moving faster 🤔I've been drinking happoshu for so long that regular beer 🍺 seems to be too rich 😅I'm looking forward to the taste change 😋.

Good morning Jay & Nobby 😆 I wonder if someone is speeding up the acceleration of time... 😅 To be honest, I also like craft beer 🍺 but I can't afford to invest any more in alcohol 😓. It's a troubling hobby 🤭.
