The mornings and evenings are starting to feel more like autumn 🌃 It's the time for hiyaoroshi and autumn harvest. ☺️ Well, tonight...I opened a bottle of Senkori Senko-hanabi 🎇 yesterday and it was so delicious that it was gone in no time, so I'm going to have a second bottle 😏. This is 💁Autumn breeze 🍂 from my favorite, Ko no Tsukasa, Aichi Prefecture. When you open the bottle, you can smell the fruity aroma of matured apple or pear 🤔. When you take a sip, you can taste the matured rich sweetness, then the umami that comes slowly. ...but I wonder... 💧. It's a little peculiar, like it doesn't have any character 😅. It's not at the level of "I can't stop" like the sparkler I was drinking earlier 😭. I thought I'd try it in the fall too 😞 because it tasted so good in the spring and summer. But I'm hoping for a change in taste, so I'll see you tomorrow ❗️ Day 2: 🗒️ Hmmm... 😟. I still feel the same aged taste.... but the miscellaneous taste has increased and I can feel the bitterness in the aftertaste 😭. I still feel the same aged taste... but the bitterness in the aftertaste has increased 😭. No repeat for next year...

It's still very hot and humid here tonight 💁. Senkou's Senkohanabi 🎇...the "back" one 😁. I drank the normal type last year...but the "back" is the first one that came out this year 🤔. So let's open it now ✨ I poured it into a glass...I don't think the aroma is that strong ❓ Then I take a sip 😋. Oh, ... this is 😳 Compared to "Kabutomushi" which is from the same family of summer sake, the lemon acidity is gentler here and the sweetness has increased, making it a different taste! Shocking taste 🥰. And here....the fun part of the ogara-mi is stirring 😁.... Kita koreaーーーー・:*+. \(( °ω° ))/. :+. That would be... delicious 😋. The slightly sweet taste of lemon water🍋 is running around in my mouth🤭. My wife says it has a slightly bitter aftertaste... but I think it's perfectly balanced and delicious 👌 After all, Sentori does not disappoint. ❗️ For my personal taste, I prefer the back side, sparkling fireworks, to the front side 😊. Day 2🗒️ The first day was also impressive 😋... but Sentori goes beyond that 🤩. The sweetness and refreshing acidity (So_1F34B↩) further evolved into a taste that blows away the lingering summer heat. ❗️ I can't get enough 🤤.

Hello, Mr. Koiing Gull 😃. I hope it's slightly cooler now that the typhoon 🌀 has passed 🙂. I was disappointed with my first one, the back sparkler 🎇 and it was sold out 🥲I wonder if it's still around somewhere since I'm from my hometown 🤔 It's so good that it doesn't betray me! I'm going to go look for it.

It's September... and summer is in full swing: ☀️ It seems that this unusual high temperature is no longer an anomaly, but a normal temperature that always happens every year... 🥵. So, before we dry out, don't we drinkers need to make sure we have a good supply of al 🍶? 🤭 Well, tonight we opened a bottle of Ohibai Macho💪 Masked Man🍶. I've been hooked on Macho since my first drink... but I can't find anything better than that gorilla🦍😭, so I'm going to drink Macho to the hilt😏. The aroma is a bit apple-like... but not too strong 🤔. Pouring it into the glass, it's not too strong..................................first sip! The moment I take a sip, there is a sweetness and a bit of bitterness at the same time + a unique Macho juiciness 🫧... but I think there is a bit too much of a tangy taste due to the low milled rice 🌾. I think there is a little bit of a tangy taste......but the sharpness is first 🙆🙆. The overall finish is one of my personal favorites 😆. ......‼️ still not over the gorilla 😅 I think I made a mistake in a sense when I drank from Gorilla as my first macho drink 😅 lol I guess I ended up with a monkey🐒 origin, which is the origin of human beings. ⁉️ Anyway...looking forward to tomorrow's taste change✨ ps. I recommend THE MOON to you by far among all the restaurants I've tried recently 👌👌. Day 2: 🗒️ I feel like the flavor has increased slightly ⤴️... but the alu feeling has increased and may be more subtle 😭

Today, I started working early in the morning to help my daughters with their school festival💦. It was still hot during the daytime... but I worked hard and put my heart and soul into it 💪. Well, no one praised me for such hard work...so I rewarded myself and hydrated myself (alcohol) 🤭. (alcohol) replenishment 🤭 lol This is 💁, a bottle of "Dragonfly" by Wakanami Shuzo 🍶. My junior bought it for me during the Bon holidays 😁. The aroma is apple ❓....moderately fruity 🤔. The first sip... while it's fire-roasted, it has a slight sizzling sensation mixed with umami and sweetness... it's quite tasty 🥰. I personally like this flavor because it has less bitterness, which I don't like, and it has a nice sharpness. ⭕️ The fact that it is a special junmai sake and the price is affordable🙆🙆 I have high hopes for tomorrow's flavor change 🥰. Day 2🗒️ I wonder if the flavor is up⤴️❓ But...a little bit more peculiar aftertaste than yesterday? I think it's a little bit more 🤔. Personally I prefer the first day 👌

Weekends are always a bit of a buzz ✨. But the summer heat still hasn't settled in during the day, so I'm craving a fizzy, bubbly sake 🤤. Well, today...I opened the first bottle of "Oku" which I had been curious about the label 🏷️ for a while but hadn't been able to buy it yet🍶. The bottle label also has a stylish moon 🌙. I'm excited from the description that it's slightly sparkling 🤣. Then, let's get right to it....oooooh open 🍾...what is that? What's that? It doesn't seem to have such a strong aroma 💧. But I felt more like grape🍇❓ than pear🍐 as the description says🤔. So, I'm going to try the top clear first 🙋. Oh! This is a Fatty grape that's a bit drier 🍇. It's similar to Takachiyo's grape... a taste that will leave you wanting more. Next, stir and voila! Yes, here it is... the stable and delicious one. The flavor and bubbles have become stronger... and even more drinkable 👌 There is a bit of bitterness and alcohol in the aftertaste, but it's not to the point where it bothers me. If I were to write my personal favorite "tight" type from the dry type... Machida > Oku THE MOON > Takachiyo... ❗️ If you like Hiragana Takachiyo, I think it is definitely delicious 😁. Day 2🗒️ Steady juwa deliciousness 😋! I hope to buy this series next time 🤣.

Before you know it, it's the second half of August... 😨. I thought it was so hot every day, but it seems to go by so fast... 😓. I hope it will start to turn into autumn soon 😢. Well, today... we opened a bottle of Sakurabana (old label) 🌸 from our favorite 🤩 Hanaka Shuzo, which is a standard series 🌸🍶. However...this is the first time I've opened the old label 😆. First of all, when you open the bottle, the aroma is sweet and fruity ginjo ✨I wonder what the aroma is close to 🤔. Cherry blossoms, so cherry 🍒? Sorry, my sense of smell is a little too good to judge 💧. I'm sorry, but I can't quite determine it 💧...the sweetness and umami come right away, then some bitterness...and then complexity 🤔. This one is 💁 quite separated from the new label Sakurabana: ❗️ This old label is clad in a clean and beautiful taste while keeping the traditional sake feel 🤔 Moreover, it is cosier 🙆🙆. The new label we drank before has a refreshing 🫧 taste that is reminiscent of the San-Do series 😍(the label also has a San-Do-like pattern). All in all... the following impression is a brief summary of Hana no Kaka Shuzo's lineup: ‼️ If you are looking for a lightness like Champagne 🍾, I recommend the new label Sakurabana and the Sanchi series 👌. If you want to enjoy the original flavor and sweetness of sake, this 💁 is the Hana-no-Kou series 🤣.

Well, here we are today 💁. Gifu's Kozaemon after a long time 😁. I had a taste of Kozaemon sake before and thought it was a beautiful and delicious sake... I wasn't planning on repeating it that much 😅. But a friend of mine said it was delicious... so I ordered it and got it 🤭 lol So let's open the bottle: ❗️✨ It smells like pear🍐? I think it smells like pear🍐. The moderate aroma that you can feel even more when you pour it into a glass makes you smile: ☺️ And now, here we go! First sip... Sweet and tasty with a hint of pear 🍐 and a hint of piquancy 😍. I think it's sweet and tasty, then weakly pungent and bitter, with a nice lingering sharpness. Certainly... this is a different flavor from the Kozaemon I've had in the past 🤔. It's a different line of flavor from the Isobojimon I opened yesterday, and this one is more for before or after a meal 😋. If I were to drink it during a meal, it would be a sashimi type... ❓ Let's hope for a change of taste tomorrow 😁. Day 2: 🗒️ I wonder if the taste has changed that much? 🤔 It was a steady taste 😋.

The week after the holidays has been too hard on my body and mind 😂To relieve such fatigue, I bought a bottle of "Isojiman" which won the first prize in the Junmai category of this year's salmon competition 😍. Isojiman is so rare in Hiroshima that you can't find it anywhere. I'm opening a bottle now 🍶. The aroma is not that strong 🤔. I guess 🤔. When poured into a glass, it tastes like fruity melon🍈 or pineapple🍈. Pineapple? A moderate aroma like pineapple 👌. When you take a sip, the balance between umami and spiciness makes it a perfect food wine 🤔. The spiciness in the first half and the sharpness of the aftertaste make it easy to match with any food. ⭕️ It's more like... you should drink it with food 😓. I'm drinking it by itself, but it may taste a little like a square of sake. It's just my personal opinion, but I prefer the special junmai from Ohbai that I had a while ago 😅. By the way, that sake was excellent cosmetically (see previous reviews for details) ✨. I like dry sake as well, but I'm still concerned about the cosiness... 😢. If I were to drink it as a food sake...I would have to say Hakurakusei, Hokusetsu and Kamerei (just my personal opinion...). However, I can't drink Isoboast very often, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow's taste change✨. Day 2: 🗒️ No change in taste...it's a stable food sake 🤔. Hmmm, no repeat for this one personally 😓.

It's been hot again today 🥵. I'm in the mood for something light and refreshing ✨. Oh, by the way...I just remembered that there was a sparkling 🫧 Kamishin, the best in Okayama prefecture, that I got at a certain 酒屋🍶 the other day lol🤭. It's actually my first time drinking this 💁... but the label says "Best Gold Award 🥇 at the "Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Award 2021"... well, it was a while ago, but it's promising 🤔 I realized... It was in our house 😅 I'm sorry for the long preamble but..., When I opened the bottle 🍶...what? Not so much aroma 😅 Pouring it into a glass, I don't feel it that much... but when I take a sip... Oh! This is a slightly carbonated apple juice 🧃. At 5.5% alcohol by volume, it's as easy to drink as a chuhai or sour... 🥰. If you don't like high alcohol sake or want a sweet cocktail-like sake, this is a great choice. ‼️👌👌 The highest gold award is understandable 😀. Although it is a neighboring prefecture...Okayama is still unknown to me, so I will keep reporting on Okayama sake 🤭! Day 2: 🗒️ The first day's sizzling sensation has decreased... but the taste is more umami ⤴️ + more acidity ⤴️ 😍. This is a good thing, but given the name of the sake, it might be better to finish it on the first day🙆.

I was too lazy to continue drinking the sake, so I held back and stopped 😅. However...I was a little short on sake, so I bought some sake that I usually can't buy in Hiroshima...but bought in Tokyo🗼 when I went back home 😁. It just arrived via Yamato 🐈‍⬛ and I was itching to get it lol. I really wanted to get a bottle of Kankoubai Junginbai Yamadanishiki 50, which won first place in the Junmai Ginjo category at this year's Sake Competition 👑, beating out Jikin... but the time of the year? I couldn't buy it, so I bought a sake from the same brewery anyway 🍶. And here is the first bottle opened 💁. It's called TORECE13 from Kanbongbai 🤣. The aroma is a moderately fruity ginjo aroma, and when you sip it, it has a sweet and umami taste with a slight bitterness... or not 🤔. It is a hi-iru sake, but you can feel a slight juiciness. It has a good balance and if you have a meal that is not too rich, it may not interfere with the taste as a food sake 👌 I'm curious to see the 2nd day taste change of sansudo and kanbonubai tomorrow 😁. Kankoubai on the second day: 🗒️ No change in aroma, but a slight increase in umami ⤴️? There was no big change in taste, it was stable and tasty 🥰.

Only tomorrow left for the Bon vacation 😭 Then I'll open the sake I got during this Bon without reluctance to serve it 🤣. Well ❗️ Today we open a bottle of our favorite 🤩 from our favorite 🤩 production area... Ni No Yuzuru 🌾✨. I actually drank it early last month (didn't post it then 💧), but luckily I got it... so I opened it 🤭. When I opened the bottle, the raspberry and grape aroma already reminded me more of wine than sake 🥰...at this point...there is a good chance that most people would grin lol. The first sip from the first sip, it's like a less sweet Champagne Mary for adults 🍾 that kids drink at Christmas 🫧. And the white wine sparkling taste...it's the kind of taste that makes you smile 😍. Even if you're having a bad day... you can't go wrong with this 🤭 lol The way it comes off is also really scary with a nice aftertaste from the shwash~~~ 😱 addictive ‼️ I want to make this drink a regular drink 🤣.... I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it next though 😂. I don't have anything to do in Hakata... Day 2: ❗️ The aroma is still the same, but with more flavor + more shwash 🫧 ⤴️... delicious 🥰... As I thought, Sansho-san does not disappoint... 🤤...

Today I went back home and bought a souvenir from a liquor store in Tokyo🗼...Ibaraki's Raifuku Jungin🍶. This one happened to be at a tasting event at Hasegawa Sake Shop in the Solamachi shopping arcade... 🙆It's cosy, under 1500 yen, and I was attracted by the convenience of the PET bottle instead of the bottle 🙆I bought it 💴. I drank a little at the tasting, but opened the bottle at home again 🍶. The aroma is only faint 🤔. The moment you take a sip, the sweetness and umami in the mouth is a good salted 👌After that, the spiciness comes in moderately and you can feel the heat in your throat from the spiciness in the aftertaste. 🙂‍↕️ I personally like it as a food sake 😊. It seems to go well with meat dishes such as yakitori, especially with a slightly darker flavor⭕️ I think it has a good finish with the balance you want for everyday drinking at a good price point 🥰. But in terms of taste... the "Soraki" from the Shinzawa Brewery that I drank yesterday was delicious 🤣. I can understand well when I compare the taste...that can (or bottle) of sake is not to be underestimated 😅.

I bought this sake 🍶 at the airport before returning to my home in Hiroshima during the busy Haneda Airport during the Bon Festival lol. If I had more time, I would have liked to visit more liquor stores in Tokyo, but I didn't have that much time 😭. I've never had any sake in Tokyo before... I guess it's just a souvenir, but I bought it to try it out😅. I looked at the brewer's address...I didn't expect it to be in Higashimurayama city where I used to live a long time ago 🤭. I felt a little nostalgia and fate even though I'm an old man lol. Sorry for using up half of my sentences in the preface 🙇. Here is the main topic: ❗️ When you open it and smell it...that's it. The sake‼️ It's the old-fashioned sake feeling. The sweetness and alcohol taste is too much, so it's only for eating 😅. But, well... it's not too bad, not too bad at all. I haven't heated it up since it's summer, but maybe it would be better if it were heated 👌 Most small bottles of this kind of sake are for food sake, so it's hard to tell the difference 😓. I think I knew what I was getting this time... but it seems that many breweries are putting more emphasis on No. 4 bottles these days.

I was born in Chiba and currently reside in Hiroshima. I opened a bottle of sake that I bought on my way home during the Obon holidays. This is 💁 "Soraki".......look closely, it's from the Shinzawa Brewery 🤣 lol! I don't think it's brewed in Tokyo, but it seems to be a Skytree limited edition? It seems to be a limited edition sake😅. Well, Shinzawa Brewery is a well-known brewer of Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsu...‼️ So I figured I couldn't go wrong and bought some 😁. There were bottles and cans, but I chose the can to take home. If the price was the same, I didn't have to worry about the can breaking 😅. Well, enough preamble, let's open it quickly lol! The aroma is quite fruity 🥰. The taste is balanced and has the feel of the ultimate food sake that Shinzawa Brewery is aiming for 👌. While it is a food sake with a strong flavor, it is easy to drink with any food. ‼️ This... was priced at 500 yen for change, but it was a very good souvenir (Tokyo souvenirs are a lie... lol). Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta Tokyo🤣.

So far... my personal preference in the series I've had in the past is Macho Gorilla 🦍>Oaibai Special Junmai>Macho Fusion Aiyama x Yamadanishiki ≒ Macho Aiyama... we'll see how this one turns out: ⁉️ Well, when I excitedly opened the bottle, the aroma is not so much, but it has a unique aroma 🤔. It has a sweetness, but it's not a fruit aroma, nor a ginjo aroma... 💧It's like I've never encountered such an aroma before... 😓. It may not be a good aroma for some people.... Well, I immediately took a sip... ❓What is this? It has a sweet and delicious taste that I have never encountered before, and strangely enough, it is not unpleasant and has a good sharpness and is very refreshing 🤔. It has a very unique taste, a bit like a rich white wine...well, I regret that my vocabulary is not good enough to convey it to all the users of Sake-no-wa 😭. I recommend it to those who want to try a new genre of sake that is not the usual sake 👌 I will consider my personal ranking depending on the taste change after the second day...but for now it's an extra candidate 🤣. Also, the color of the label and the color of the sake might be pretty close: 🙂‍↕️ 3rd day: 🗒️ The unique taste is not that different 😅 This sake is a bit different for different tastes 💦.

I'm going back to my usual home drinking 😅 after yesterday. If you drink out all the time, it will hurt your wallet 😭. Now to get back on track, today we will open our first bottle of Morishima from Ibaraki 🍶. You can't buy this sake in Hiroshima, so I got it by a bit of a legend 😆. Straight from the bottle, the aroma wasn't that strong... but when poured into a glass, it smells like muscat 😁. It's pretty good 🤤. Now then... a sip. The mouthfeel is gentle and tastes like muscat, just like the aroma 🥰. Then, a bit of spiciness...maybe because it's 15 degrees higher than the recently popular 13-14 degree sake? The balance is good 🙆. But the balance is good🙆 It seems to be good before, during and after meals...but if you have dessert 🍨 after meal, it might cancel the sweetness of the dessert😅😅. I think it would be good before or during a meal🙆. Well, what happens tomorrow: ⁉️ Day 2🗒️ Because of the fire 🔥? No big change in taste 🤔. On the contrary, it tastes stable and easy to drink 🍸.

It's been a long time since I drank out🍶. The taste was clean, dry and easy to drink. The sharpness of the aftertaste is especially outstanding, and the unobtrusive flavor seems to go well with everything 👌 However, I can't comment on the taste change since it was more than half gone 😭 When you drink outside... you can only appreciate the quality of the sake when it is served, so it is difficult to convey the depth of the flavor and the change in taste from the aroma when the bottle is first opened 😓. It's hard to report the taste change of rare sake that is hard to drink, but also of sake that is relatively easy to drink in everyday life 😅. I'm not sure if this sake is rare or not.... I'd like to know more about it 😏.

I'm curious to see how it will taste...even before opening the bottle: ☺️ When we opened the bottle...hmmm! Is this Jikin? The aroma is like a ginjo aroma that makes you grin 🥰. The balance of sweetness and umami is quite close to Tenmei, making it an easy-to-drink mid-meal sake 🤔. The aftertaste has a bit of bitterness that I don't mind, rather than the dryness that is typical of Machida sake breweries... but it's a little different from what I was hoping for, as there's almost no schwarziness 😅. Well, personally...I think I prefer the Tenmei Sarasara Junmai I drank before...but I'm looking forward to the taste change from tomorrow onwards 😆. ps. where is the dry pichi feeling of Machida brewery 😭❓❓ Day 2: 🗒️ Increased flavor⤴️ and quite a good balance🙆 I mean...it lost a lot of Machida-ness and became almost like Tenmei😅.

It's only the first half of the week... this is what happens when you stop by the local liquor store after work 😅. And! ...Since no one seems to be interested in such a preamble, let's get down to business. This week is the last week before the consecutive holidays...so we are open even on weekdays 🍶. Tonight, we will be at Gobashi in Yamaguchi. I drank "Nene" a while ago... but that was a different image from Sake😅. So I opened a bottle of Junmai Namaishu (pure rice) today! The aroma is not so much a traditional sake ‼️ as it is a mild aroma 👌. The first sip is not overly spicy or sweet, but has a soft and fluffy rice-like flavor 🥰. Great balance for drinking during a meal👍 Unfortunately, I'm drinking it by itself as I write this report... With this balance, I think sashimi, sushi, and yakitori can be served as a mealtime drink 😁. The current trend in sake is to have a beautiful fruity taste... but the traditional deep and gentle taste is also hard to ignore 😍.
