Today we enjoyed the rest of the Kame no Kai that we opened the other day, and thought we would like to drink some more. So here is another sake from a new brewery. Shichikanma Special Junmai by Hiaukami Seishu! This sake was recommended to us by a local liquor store as it goes well with warmed sake! Let's have it right away! First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma! Cold. In the mouth, you can feel a slight sweetness from the umami. From the mid-palate, a little complexity and a little bitterness. Finally, there is a refreshing spicy aftertaste. Overall, it is a refreshing sake. I think it's more of a dry sake, but you can taste both umami and sweetness. Warmed to lukewarm The first impression on the palate is of spiciness and bitterness. But it is smooth, so the sake taste is not too strong. After that, it changes to a distinctly dry sake, with a traditional sake taste and a complex flavor. There is also a hint of sweetness behind the dryness. Small sakes are very useful when you want to drink a little more! Well, I will be able to start tomorrow with a weekend sake recharge!

Good evening, ma-ki-San😄I see you are enjoying your sake life with a series of first sakes ❣️ I felt that the sake is suitable for heating up, but it must be for professionals to be drier than cold 🥰Weekend sake charge, I could do well too 💕.

Good morning, ma-ki-san 😃I'm glad you're exploring new places with Sandesi 🍶I think it's a great idea, but I keep missing Sandesi when I go to the liquor store💦Sake that goes well with warmed sake....that's a neat trick 🥰.

The last event at Sushi Amato was the first time to visit the brewery, Imanishi Shuzo's Mimurosugi! This time, the Yume-Roman series Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki! This is a brewery I had wanted to visit and drink this year! So, let's have it right away! The sweetness spreads quickly in the mouth. My impression is that it is a very beautiful sake. You can also taste the richness and umami. The lingering aftertaste is slightly spicy and refreshing, and then the beautiful sweetness spreads again~! It's really delicious! My wife also thought it was very easy to drink! We were well healed by the delicious sushi and sake again tonight!

The second drink at Sushi Amato was a brewer's kuheiji from Manjyo Brewery. This time SAUVEGE OMACHI Junmai Daiginjo I remember that the Human by Kuheiji was quite delicious! So, let's have it right away! The first mouthful is an attack of umami! After that, it finishes with complexity and a bit of bitterness. The lingering aftertaste is spicy and complex with a traditional sake feel. It is well worth drinking! My wife thought it was a little dry. My wife thought it was a little dry. I felt that the sweetness of this wine appeared when served with a meal, and I could feel its deliciousness even more. The chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) was also great, with a nice dashi broth and aroma.

My wife and I saw a movie today. This movie is a double feature that straddles the lunch hour! So we had a quick lunch during the previews of the first movie. I have a loose lacrimal gland, so I can cry at almost anything that moves me! After the movie, we had a sushi dinner for the first time in a while! We visited Sushi Atato! It was my first visit! The first drink at Sushi Atato was a sake from a brewery I had never visited before! Wakamiya Sake Brewery's "Dream of a Starry Night They brew only one tank of this sake per year! Well, let's have it right away! Fruity taste in the mouth! A traditional but soft sake taste. A slight sweetness followed by a slight bitterness gradation. The aftertaste is crisp and spicy. The overall impression is gentle and well-balanced, and it goes well with food. Sushi after a long absence - very tasty and a great pairing with sake!

And the sake we are having tonight! I was on my way to Minami when I saw a review of this sake, and I wanted to drink it so bad that I screamed, so I brought it home from Komenohana! Tsuchiya Sake Brewery's Kame no Umi! This time it was Umakuchi Junmai! The last junmai ginjo was also very good, so I was looking forward to bringing it home! Let's have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it is deliciously sweet and fruity! What is this fruit? My wife and I wondered for a while, It has a slightly complex flavor, a slight pungency, a bitter taste, and a slightly aromatic aftertaste. It is delicious! I kept saying "delicious" every time I drank it! Well, the information from Sake-no-Wa this time was also correct, and we spent a blissful time drinking sake! Day 2 Fruity aroma again today! When you put it in your mouth, it has a fruity, delicious sweetness. It has a smooth taste, yet it goes down smoothly. The lingering spiciness that lingers in the back of the throat finishes it off nicely. It is delicious tonight too!

After running some errands today, I went to a liquor store in Minami to get some drinks. Since we were in Minami, we had just one drink 🍶 before going to the liquor store. So I got a sake from a sake brewery that was new to me, Meite Sake Brewery's Kurogyu! I couldn't say that it was my first time to buy a bottle of sake, but I didn't have a picture of the bottle, and I didn't know the specs either! Anyway, I will have it right away! First, the aroma. Slightly sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, your first impression is that it is a beautiful sake. Slightly sweet, with a hint of traditional sake flavor. The sweetness and umami of the rice are left in the mouth while the bitterness and pungency slowly fade away, with only a hint of spiciness. It soaks through! It's incredibly tasty! It may not be flashy, but I really liked the feeling of everything being gentle and sinking in! It went perfectly with the meal! After receiving the sake, we stopped by at Komenohana since we were in Minami and there was another sake that we wanted! The second picture shows the sakes we picked up today!

Today, I visited Fujioka Sake Brewery at the end of last year and bought a bottle of Aozora. This time, it was a kurazukuri rice, Kinuhikari Ooragarami. It has a very firm lees. Let's have it right away! Sumi Sake Cold First, the aroma. The aroma of sake is very strong. From the chiri-chiri-gassiness to the umami, the gradation of citrus sweetness and acidity to bitterness. Gradation from citrus sweetness and acidity to bitterness. It is quite delicious! Nigori Cold The base is the same as Sumi-shu Cold, but it seems to be a little milder. The attack also starts from sweet and sour. However, there is a strong lingering bitterness in the second half. It is also delicious! Nigori (nigori) at room temperature The base is the same as that of Sumi-shu Cold, but it is milder overall. It has a sake-like taste, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness, but it is mildly delicious! Well, my stupid tongue can't understand the details. But it is delicious! nigori lukewarm Sourness and bitterness. The bitter and spicy taste is quite refreshing. However, there is also a hint of rice flavor. The bitterness is a little stronger in balance than other ways of drinking. I suddenly felt that it somehow resembles the taste of Kaze no Mori, but what do you think? Good sake is truly bliss!

I had a little less to drink, so I'll open a Sandesi. This is my first visit to this brewery! This time it's Atago no Matsu Junmai Ginjo from the Shinzawa Shuzo Brewery! Let's start drinking! First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. In the mouth, there is not so much sweetness, but a complex taste and a slight bitterness. It is smooth from start to finish, giving the impression of being very easy to drink. When served with a meal, the sweetness increases at the moment of drinking and it is very beautiful. The complexity and bitterness are still there, so they do not interfere with the meal. We were well healed by delicious sake this week!

The three-day weekend is just around the corner Today we have a brewery we haven't had for a long time Aihara Shuzo's Amego no Tsuki This time it is Okayama Asahi Junmai Daiginjo! I haven't tasted this since I first started working at Sake no Wa when I was a little red! So, without further ado, let's have it! The first day First, the aroma. It has a fresh and fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the fruity citrus flavor from the gentle sweetness that is not too sweet. It is delicious! The gradation of the aftertaste is also irresistible, with a little spiciness and bitterness combining from the weak sweetness aftertaste! All the flavors are not too strong, so I thought it was a very beautiful and well-balanced sake with a sweeter flavor. Day 2 Today's sake also has a refreshing sweetness and a complex flavor, with a refreshingly gentle pungency in the aftertaste. I also feel a slight sweetness combined with bitterness. I like the feeling of the gentle sweetness seeping through. Day 3 The overall impression is very mild. The lingering taste from the soft sweetness is faintly a little citrusy? There's also a bit of bitterness and spiciness. There is also a bit of bitterness to spiciness, which is refreshing and sharp. It has been a long time since I have had a "moon after rain" sake, but it was consistently delicious for 3 days!

After staying at my favorite yakitori restaurant for some reason, I had my second sake, and the last one was Fuji Shuzo's Eiko-Fuji! This time, it's the old sake brewer's own pleasure! My first impression was that it had an interesting name. The owner told me immediately after my visit that he had something like this, even though it was not on the menu. I would have chilled it if you had made a reservation. He served it to me just as I was about to leave! I'll have it right away! First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a beautiful sweetness and it finishes softly. It is just like the Eiko-Fuji in my memory, smooth and clean. The lingering aftertaste is alcoholic and pungent, making it very satisfying to drink. It is also delicious! We were supposed to leave right away, but we were served a variety of drinks and food, and spent a blissful time drinking in a comfortable space!

Today, my wife went shopping with a friend. And today, I was able to pick up a bottle of Kuheiji's light nigori that I had reserved, so I brought a bottle as a gift to the owner of my favorite yakitori restaurant! Since I had been there three weeks in a row, I was going to give him a bottle of sake and leave, but since I came all the way here, I thought I might as well have a little bit.., So, the first sake at our favorite Yakitori restaurant was Tamitsu by Hayakawa Shuzo! This time it was the first Shiboribori! Maybe this is the first time for you to taste Tamitsu's first shibori? Well, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it flows smoothly with a beautiful sweetness. I have the impression that sweetness and umami are the main flavors of this sake. Still, it is delicious! There is no bitterness, and it is a beautiful and delicious sake that can be drunk for a long time.

This week we have our first sake from the brewery! This is the one we got last week! Takachiyo Kasumi by Takachiyo Shuzo! I had a hard time deciding between Sunrise and this one, so I chose this one as my debut sake! Let's have it right away! The first day (supernatant). First, the aroma. It smells fresh. Sweet, but not as sweet as I imagined. A little more citrusy than peachy? Soft bitterness What's that? A little peachy as it passes down the throat? There is also a little bit of a chili sensation. (nigori) It becomes a little juicy, with a slight sweetness and a lingering bitterness. It has a more robust bitterness than the clear sake, so it is not as sweet as I had imagined, but it has a good balance. It is delicious with a meal. The lingering taste is peachy, isn't it? Fourth day (supernatant). The fruity sweetness is mashed up - the bitterness weakens and soaks through to my sweet tooth. The aftertaste is smooth and refreshing. Is it a pungent taste? So it's good to be able to drink it refreshingly. (nigori). The juicy sweetness is also very refreshing. The lingering taste at the top of the throat is more peachy than the top clearings. There is a sense of gas and it is very satisfying to drink. It was my first Takachiyo, and although it was not as sweet as I imagined, it was delicious!

Japanese>English

Nao888

Good evening, ma-ki-San 🌛Congratulations on your first Takayo ㊗️ This one was definitely not as sweet 🍶The days passed and it tasted more peachy 🤤The same sake can be felt in different ways - ✨️

Today my wife had lunch with a friend from school So I'll have lunch alone. I'm going to drink. So, after dropping my wife off, I went to the local supermarket to buy a few things and had a quick bite to eat. So I started drinking at home from noon today! Today's sake was opened on Friday, but I chose it because I wanted to drink a sweet sake! Miyoshi by Abunotsuru Sake Brewery, which is our first brewery! This time it's HANA '20-'24! This one is based on the 2020 sake, and is blended with the sake made in that year every year. Last year, Yamanaka Sake Brewery recommended this sweet sake to us! Let's have it right away! The first day First, the aroma. It has a sweet aroma. When I put it in my mouth, it is sweet~ delicious~! It soaks into my tired brain! It is very beautifully sweet and delicious! The saltiness lingers in the aftertaste, while the sweetness is felt all the way through. However, it is not at all sweet. There is a slight bitterness at the end of the aftertaste. This is delicious! 3rd day It has a beautiful sweetness today as well. Because the mouthfeel is beautiful, it is not too sweet and can be drunk easily. From the middle part of the bottle, there is a slight saltiness and a weak bitterness. It's so good! We are having a blissful drinking time today!

The fourth and last drink at our favorite yakitori restaurant was Houou Mita by Kobayashi Shuzo! This time it was the Arashigiri Oshikiri merger. This is the first time for me to drink this label too! So, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It's hard to describe, or maybe I'm just too drunk (lol), but at any rate, it smells great! When I put it in my mouth, it is soooo good! I got the impression that the balance of flavors is very good! The sweetness was also very strong, which stuck with me and I enjoyed it very much! It had been a while since my wife and I had been to a yakitori restaurant, but tonight, too, we enjoyed delicious food and sake in a comfortable space.

The third drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant is Hirakou Shuzo's Hidakami. This time it was a light nigori sake. It's been a year since I've had this label. The lees of Kido's nigori was a huge amount, but this one is called "light nigori" and there was only a little lees, so we only drank the nigori. So, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma. When you put it in your mouth, the first impression is that it is delicious with a predominant umami flavor! The mouthfeel is clean. The aftertaste is sweet, spicy, and bitter. This is delicious! Hidakami is a great match for delicious chicken dishes!

My wife had to work today, so we met up after she finished work and went to our favorite yakitori restaurant! I went to the liquor store to get some stuff and then went to the meeting place. I didn't get the sake I was looking for, but the liquor store is a lot of fun! Well, the first drink at my favorite Yakitori restaurant was Kido by Heiwa Shuzo! This time it was Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake Nama! This may be the first time I've seen this label! So, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It smells sweet! Since we are here, I took the top clear liquid and the nigori. The top clear. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the overall taste is thin and refreshing. The sweetness, sourness, and bitterness are combined well with the spiciness and sourness lingering in the mouth. When matched with a meal, the umami increases and the bitterness is also good! Kido also has a nice lingering aroma. Nigori Compared to the supernatant, I can feel the citrusy flavor and the overall impression of richness while maintaining a fresh balance. Of course, the umami is also more intense - it's delicious! I felt that it tastes better when mixed with other ingredients. It is fun to compare the nigori with the supernatant.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Good morning, ma-ki-! I love Kido, I'm sure it goes well with a nice grilled chicken 😇. I enjoy it in three different ways: when I open the bottle, I mix it with the supernatant and let it come to room temperature, and then I mix it with the freshly mixed and chilled one 😇.

Leisurely today! Oh yeah, there's a little bit of jishimayase left that I brought home from my favorite yakitori restaurant. Since such a rare opportunity doesn't come along very often, we decided to do a drinking comparison of the same brewery! So, today we had Takasago by Kiyamasa Shuzo! So, let's have it right away! The first day First, the aroma. It smells fresh. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the fruity flavor. The mouthfeel is very clean and smooth. After the salty taste, there is a gradation of bitterness and sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshingly spicy. It has a different taste from Jikin, but it is really delicious and I like it a lot! My wife seemed to be more comfortable drinking this one than the Yanase. The 2nd day The mouthfeel is as clean as ever! The complexity of the taste is a bit like old-fashioned sake, with a slight sweetness and bitterness gradation. The overall impression is more mature than yesterday. The lingering aftertaste is also dry and slightly sweet. However, when served with a meal, the beautiful sweetness and bitterness became more apparent, and I felt again that this sake is delicious as a mealtime sake. Tonight's sake also healed me well!

Today (also?) I went to my favorite yakitori restaurant and had a drink! This time I made a reservation! Then, the owner prepared a nabe that was perfect for a cold day like this! The ingredients were oysters and albacore! He must have remembered that I told him I liked albacore last time! Thanks to the owner! And here is my accompaniment for such a wonderful evening! Jikin by Kiyamasa Sake Brewery! This time it's Yanase! The proprietor prepared it for us tonight: ⤴️ Since it was a special occasion, we all enjoyed it together! First of all, let's take a look at the aroma. It has a soft and gentle aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it starts from sweetness. Then, a soft aroma wafts through the nose. It has a slight bitterness and a sharpness that is different from the Jikin that we are used to drinking, but it is delicious! Even though it is al-douched, it is not sharp and clean from start to finish. The aftertaste is a gradation of spiciness, bitterness, and a hint of sweetness. As you continue drinking, the whole flavor becomes richer and richer. It is too good! The image I had of this sake was that it was gorgeous and delicious! But this time, I felt it was a little different. It was really delicious, with a beautifully sweet and delicious taste - the sweet aroma that lingered in the nose was also fantastic! We had a great time drinking tonight as well!

Good morning, ma-ki- 😀 You know a really good yakitori restaurant😇. I haven't been able to drink outside lately to consume my sake stock 🤣. I think I'll open a bottle of Jikin for my next home drink 😇.

Hi ma-ki-😃 You're a really nice person, General 🥰. This Jikin looks delicious too 😋I wish I could see you at outside drinking as I don't sell Jikin in my neighborhood and it's not easy to find it. Oh, I'm so jealous💕

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama! The owner is a really nice person although he doesn't talk very much🍀. This time Jikin had a different taste than I remember, probably because it was my first alcoholic sake: ⤴️ I hope you will be able to find Jikin 🙏.

Thank you for your comment, Maru-san! I never thought I'd have the time to drink this kind of Jikin ⤴️ I was so happy when I saw the ingredients 🎵. I was also very happy when I saw the ingredients, but the threat of gout came to mind 😰. I ate it though 😁.

When I saw a post about Risshun Asa Shibori on Sake-no-Wawa, I wanted to try it myself! I was so excited that I dropped by the liquor store on my way home from work! Today's sake is Gobashi Tachiharu Asashibori from Sakai Shuzo! This is the first Risshun Asashibori! And it's been a while since I've had Gobashi! So, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. I love the aroma of sake! In the mouth, it's chirpy~ It's so energetic~! And what's more, it's fresh and lush! It is heavy with a hint of sweetness, but the mouthfeel is beautiful. From the middle to the latter half, the taste gradually changes from bitter to spicy with a lingering aftertaste. It is also a delicious sake. It is a delicious sake with a good balance of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness, even when paired with a meal. I am so thankful that I have never heard of Risshun Asa Shibori if I had not started sake-no-wa!

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃! It's interesting to see all of you drinking different Risshun Asashibori ✨. I'm looking forward to the Gobashi I'm going to have in stock, too 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-San🌛You made sure to get your hands on the Risshun Morning Press ✨️ as expected 🍶I've never had Gobashi, but it looks like a good sake that I never get tired of drinking 🤤Next time I get the chance, I want to ride the Risshun wave🥴.

Thank you Kano for your comment. I see you drank Risshun Asashibori 🎵. I would like to try Senkori's Risshun Asashibori sometime soon✨. This was my first Risshun event sake, and I would like to enjoy sakes that are only available during this time of the year 😊.

Thank you for your comment HinaHanaMama. Maybe it was Hina Hana Mama's review that finally pushed me over the edge 😁✨. It was delicious and I'm glad I rode the wave 🎵 It's been a while since I've had gohashi, not the sweetest, but it was delicious 😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-. ［It's the season of "Risshun Asa Shibori" 😁. I didn't go through this year because in Fukui we can only get "Manzairaku" from Ishikawa, but I'm curious about "Gohashi" ✨. I wonder if all varieties are posted on sakénowa 🤔.

Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby. I see you drank Tuesday this week: ⤴️ I'm looking forward to seeing your post on what kind of sake it was 🎵. It's fun to see how many different Risshun Asashibori you all drink 😊.

Thank you for your comment, Jive. This is my first time to know about Risshun Asashibori, so I thought I would like to drink different Risshun Asashibori from different breweries every year 🎵. You have posted a lot of things, but I have a feeling there are many more to come 😊.

This week has been a bit of a flurry. So I'm going to let sake heal me. I'm having Nabeshima by Tomikuchiyo Shuzo! This time it's Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki! This is the first time for me to drink Nabeshima's Yamadanishiki, and the first time for me to drink it at home, but I got this sake at Komenohana, which I visited last year! So without further ado, let's have it! The first day First, the aroma. It smells sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the chili. And what can I say? It's so fruity and sweet! The fruity sweetness is the best in recent years. Although there is a parallel bitter taste, the sweetness is very impressive and sinks in. There is also a slight saltiness in the aftertaste, which is very tasty! When paired with a meal, the bitterness increases and the sweetness seems subdued, so it does not interfere with the meal. Fourth day. When I put it in my mouth, the chiliiness has gone into the background. But the aroma is fruity. The balance is still good even on its own, with a refreshing sweetness, a slight sake taste and bitterness. The aftertaste is a bitterness from the spiciness. The overall impression is a bit thin and the bitterness is a bit strong. When matched with a meal, on the contrary, the sweetness increases and it is interesting. It would have been better to drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle, but it is more than enough delicious sake.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃. Nabeshima, I like drinking at home ✨. My mom who used to live in Nagasaki used to say Nabeshima is the sake of Kyushu. Even though my mom doesn't drink sake (lol). Your review sounds delicious and I would love to drink it 🍶.

Good evening, ma-ki- 😀 I also like this purple potsicles the best among all potsicles 😇 It's interesting how the flavor expression changes depending on the food you pair it with🤣.

Good evening, ma-ki! I like Nabeshima. ❣️ I'm very curious about Nabeshima 😆 Does the label make quite a difference in taste? Purple seems to have a good balance of sweet and bitter. I'd love to try it sometime 🥰.

Good morning, ma-ki-😃 I had it about 3 years ago, and it was a noobie rave then 🤗I'm curious to know how you would feel if you drank it now 🤔😄.

Thank you for your comment, soumacho. Even your mother, who doesn't drink sake, recognizes it as Kyushu's representative sake, which is a quintessential Nabesama 😲. All Nabesama is delicious, so please try it if you have a chance 😊.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment Yasbaye. Purple is Yasbaye-san's favorite nabe 😲. It's one of the most enjoyable aspects of sake that it changes its expression to match your meal 🎵. It really was a delicious nabe-sama 😋.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama. Nabesama was probably my first Kyushu sake, and I was so impressed with its well-balanced taste that it became my favorite 😲. We have a variety of sake from regular to seasonal so please try it 😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-, I would like to drink Nabeshima Purple 🤤I can't find this brand at all in my sake activity range💦I'm too curious about Komenohana 🧐is it a liquor store where you can have a corner bar ❓️

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. I've read your article from 3 years ago🎵. It was a really juicy and delicious drink: ⤴️ There are so many drinks I haven't had that may not be on tap, but if you get the chance 😊.

Thanks for your comment Nao888. I was also blissful to meet you because until I went to Komenohana, Nabe-sama was only available for outside drinking ✨. You can eat and drink at Komenohana from 5:30pm🎵 You got your Nabe-sama 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki🌛. Nabeshima Purple Label. I was surprised by the taste of my first "Nabeshima" and it was one of the first sakes that awakened me to out-of-prefecture sakes 😁. It's been a while since I've had it ✨
