This sake is produced in Umi-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture.
It is made from Fukuoka Prefecture's Yume-Ichikan and Yamadanishiki sake rice.
It tastes like it is suitable for warming sake, but we were told that it is recommended to drink it chilled, so we had it chilled.
I have a feeling it is for people who are used to drinking sake. It seems to go well with sashimi.
Sake from Yabuki-cho, Fukushima Prefecture.
I finally had a chance to taste the sake I learned about at Sake-no-Wawa!
It tasted much sweeter than I imagined from the sake. It went well with cheese.
◎This sake is from Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The refreshing blue bottle and label compel us to order it during this hot and humid season.
It has a slightly sour taste and seems to go well with a variety of dishes.
I wasn't sure if I should include it here since it is a ◎ liqueur, but I have to record that it is a product made by the Shirasugi Shuzo brewery in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture, which marinated Junmai Ginjo unfiltered raw sake with Wakayama plums.
It was like a delicious plum wine right off the palate, but soon turned into a subtle enjoyment of the familiar sake flavor.
It is delicious and has a very auspicious name, so I think it could be a gift for a business opening.
◯It is a sake made in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture. Teko seems to be read as "Denko".
From the name and the label, we thought it was a traditional junmai ginjo, and it certainly was, but it was sweeter than the impression we got from the label.
Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is made from 100% Hitogochi sake produced in Omachi City.
The price was 1980 yen at Chateraise.
It seems that there are only two kinds of Hakuba Nishiki sake sold in the market.
I thought it would be a bit more fruity and sweet like spring, but it tasted more like junmai ginjo than I expected.
Sake made in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture. It is made from 100% Miyamanishiki produced in Omachi City. It is not too sweet and is a legitimate junmai ginjo.
The Genkai pickles, which are whale's head cartilage marinated in sake lees, from Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, are delicious and make the sake go down a treat.
Can you see the Chateraise mark at the bottom of the label? Chateraise has two types of sake, each priced at 1,980 yen, and I bought both. I will post the other bottle soon.
◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. We had it chilled, and as it is the restaurant's No. 1 recommendation, it was a sake with no quirks, giving the impression that it could be served with any dish.
◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. We had this one hot, and it was quite tasty, especially with today's flowery cold weather. It seemed more acidic than the Omachi Junmai Nigori from Taketsuru.
◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. This was my first time to try nigori hot sake, but it was quite tasty with moderate acidity.
I paired it with Hiroshima okonomiyaki, and it seemed to go well with it. Highly recommended!
◎This sake is from Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture. As confirmed by the person I drank it with, it is Miyazaki, not Miyagi.
Since it is made from 100% rice grown in the prefecture, I thought it would have a strong rice taste before opening the bottle, but it was as fruity as the label implied, making it perfect for hanami (cherry blossom viewing).
I did not know about this sake, but I had the impression that it should be better known.
◎I prefer to drink junmai-type sake on a daily basis, but Okunomatsu, even when aluzoe, was still a perfect match, with a delicious daiginjo-like flavor.
The label is typical of hanami (cherry blossom viewing), so I wanted to take it outside and drink it.
It is a very popular drink. It is a stable Collage. It is a sake that will broaden the base of sake fans, and I can say with confidence that everyone should try it.
◎I finally tasted a very popular sake at Sakewa. It was a dangerous sake in a sense, as it was popular with both boys and girls and could be drunk as much as one wanted. The people around me agreed that it was easy to drink and that it is a sake that will broaden the base of sake fans.
The cherry-red label on the outside of the bottle may make you think it is slightly sweet, but inside it is a sake with a strong rice flavor that makes you want to warm it up.
Sake from Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It was a bar, but they had sake on tap, so I ordered it. I think it would be better with nuts and chocolate if it were a little sweeter.
This sake was recommended to me as a good match for sashimi. I usually don't drink this type of sake, but I felt that the lack of sweetness certainly made it a good match.
It was ◎fruity and sweet, but I preferred it with local sashimi.
I was told that this is a beautiful sake from Oku-Iyo, brewed by a small brewery that produces only a very small amount of sake, and by a family only.
