Haginotsuyu雨垂れ石を穿つ　慈雨純米大吟醸

Fukuiyahei Shoten Shiga

Today I was a bit busy with a series of unscheduled tasks, but somehow I managed to finish the week. The sake that soothed me today is Haginodewo Ameidare Jisame, a sake made by Fukui Yahei Shoten. This sake is made using the Edo period brewing method called jumizu-jikkuri, and the sake rice is Aizan. Let's start with the sake. Let's start with the aroma. The aroma has a refreshing sake aroma. In the mouth, there is only a hint of sweetness. Then, after a little bit of rice flavor and complexity, the bitterness comes in a flash, and the spiciness spreads quickly at the end. The sake has a traditional sake taste, but is very smooth to drink. It was a little spicy for me, but it was a very tasty sake that went well with a meal.

Good evening, ma-ki-san🌛! I've been interested in this one ever since I learned about it when I first started drinking sake. I'm planning to stop by the brewery on my way back from Kyoto, but the stock is always too good to wait until another time💦.

Thank you for your comment, Gyve. I first had it at my usual yakitori restaurant and fell in love with it 🎵. There are so many different kinds of lapels, I want to try them all slowly. I hope you will try it too, Gyve!

Today we took a walk and went to a relaxing coffee shop in our favorite two-station-next-station neighborhood ☕. But it was really hot today and we were groggy even though we didn't walk that far 😱☀️ On a night like this, I thought I'd have yesterday's Kudokitoe - but it was empty after just one glass, so I opened another bottle today! This is another sake from a new brewery! Tenbi Junmai Daiginjo Akaban Omachi Rice by Choshu Shuzo! I was told about this sake when I first started working at Sakegawa and finally got my hands on it 🎵. I read in other postings that the toji at this brewery has changed. I wish I could have tried the sake before the change 💧. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to it, so I'll have it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the stimulation of chili, which is very energetic. Then, sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness move like a gradation, and it is very delicious ✨. The lingering pungency after drinking is also nice✨. The first sip of the kinky beer has a bitter taste and is very drinkable. As the temperature gets a little higher, the sweetness comes forward and is very mild and different 😊. I am so happy to be able to drink such a delicious sake everyday🍀.

A weekend of happy worries about what to drink 🎵. Today's sake is from a new brewery. Today's sake will be from a new brewery, Kamenoi Shuzo's Aizan 33, a Kudoi Ue Jr. This is a sake that I learned about through a post on Sake-no-Wawa. Seems like this year's sake rice has a lot to do with the Aizan sake😊. Let's start with the sake. First, the aroma. The sweet aroma is very exciting. ⤴️ When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness along with the fluffy sweet aroma. After that, you will feel a bitter taste and a little citrus acidity or freshness. I think it is very well balanced. This is a really delicious sake. Furthermore, after drinking it, I felt a soft pungent taste on my tongue, which is also a very delicious sake. There are too many good sake ✨.

Japanese>English

After a short trip that I was looking forward to, I'm back to reality today, and it's time to drink that. I can finally drink my first sake from a brewery, in my opinion! Sono Kangiku OCEAN99 Hoshikai by Kangiku Meikozo. Kangiku is also highly rated by Sake-no-wa! Finally! I can only look forward to it so much, so I'm going to have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a fresh sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it goes from chili and stimulation to bwaht sweetness~✨ but then the bitterness rushes in and flows 🎵. Delicious 😊. I felt that this sake is more silky and the bitterness does a very good job than the other day's Tadasan, even though they are the same unfiltered raw sake 🍶. Sake really is a wonderful thing that gives me a different impression every time I drink it, big or small🍀. After the second day, the sweetness and umami remained the same, with a little citrus freshness, and the bitterness became less and less pronounced, but it was still a delicious sake all the same 😊.

The second cup we had at our favorite yakitori restaurant was the Toyo Bijin Jyundo Ittou Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai from Sumikawa Shuzojo, which has never failed us with Aizan and Omachi. The owner of the restaurant said, "You can't go wrong with Toyo Bijin this year, can you? I agreed with him! I also agree with him. Let's start with the aroma. The aroma is fresh and sweet. The soft sweetness in the mouth is irresistible. I also felt a slight bitterness, but the irresistible sweetness was very impressive and delicious 😊. Well...just a delicious sake! I can't find any other words to describe it, it was that good ✨.

Today, after going to the cellar for sake, I went to my favorite yakitori restaurant for a drink. This time I had made a reservation, so I wondered if it was available now. The owner, who never disappoints, prepared a Jikin Yatanishiki Junmai Ginjo Hi-iri from Kiyamasa Shuzo, my favorite sake brewery, which shocked me last year. Of course, it was unopened! The chief - thank you always. The aroma is fresh and sweet. In the mouth it has a mild but firm sweetness and aroma - too good to be true! The balance is of course good, with a touch of bitterness and spiciness in the latter half, but no matter when you drink it, it never disappoints! Since we had the bottle open, we had it for the third and fourth glasses 🎵. My wife was also impressed with the taste! My wife was also impressed with the taste.

The second drink at my old favorite sushi restaurant was Hakkaisan Junmai Daiginjo by Hakkai Jyozo. I often had this sake when I was in my 20s. First, the aroma. This one does not have much of an aroma. It has a smooth taste in the mouth, and compared to Kurehaaru, the bitterness is more impressive. However, in the bitterness, there is also a hint of sweetness, and it is a tasty sake that does not get tired of being drunk and does not interfere with meals. After the third glass, we had more Wu Chun and enjoyed the last night of our excursion to the fullest 😊.

The second day of a short trip to Shiga Prefecture with my wife. Today we went to the Kurokabe area in Nagahama. There was a liquor store with a fairly good selection, and we were able to get the sake we were aiming for without incident. After we finished sightseeing, we brought souvenirs to each other's parents' homes, and for our final party, we went to a sushi restaurant we have been going to for a long time. It had been a long time since our last visit, but the sushi was as delicious as ever 😊. The first sake we had at the sushi restaurant was Kurehaaru Special Ginjo. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. In the mouth, you can feel a little soft sweetness and a gentle bitterness. It also has a slightly fruity taste and is very tasty. The taste is smooth and easy to drink until the latter half of the bottle. Sushi and sake are a great combination, and I felt bliss once again ✨.

The first sake in the three-drink comparison was a Harunomine Junmai Daiginjo from Tanaka Shuzo. This was the first sake from the brewery I had ever tasted. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, you will taste the sweetness and then the sake aroma. After that comes the bitterness, followed by a touch of spiciness.

It was hot again today. And today, a couple of times a year, we have a takoyaki party. Our takoyaki is prepared the day before and made with dashi. The dashi is our favorite packet, though. It is soy sauce based with a lot of water. Such is the case for Tako-Pa! So, this is my first sake from the Seishuzo brewery, Hizirizm! It took 18 minutes to open the bottle, as I was thinking of Pon-chan's recent post about the active sake. I managed to open the bottle without any spills. First, the aroma. It has a somewhat refreshing aroma. When I put it in my mouth, I could taste the sweetness. It is not only sweet, but the sourness in the second half spreads down the throat and is refreshing from start to finish 😊. My wife was also pleased with the taste. The low alcohol refreshing sweet sake and the soy sauce based takoyaki were a nice combination and we drank it all up in no time at all.

Thanks for your comment, Pon. School festival - sounds very nostalgic ✨. I hope you'll be able to come back 🐙 if you're so inclined. Opening the bottle was really patient 💧. An active nigori opening competition is a novel idea 😁.

The week is somehow over. Today, my wife and I decided to do a sake tasting with my brother-in-law and his wife. Houou Mita GOLD PHEONIX by Kobayashi Sake Brewery, which I was told about when I started Sake-no-Wa. I had always wanted to try it, but when I was looking for another sake, I happened to come across it and had no hesitation in getting it. First of all, the aroma. It smells like a faintly sweet aroma. The first sip is refreshingly sweet, and the mouthfeel is very tasty, balanced out by the refreshing bitterness of the second half of the saké. The second sip has a different impression from the first as the bitterness comes to the surface. The third glass has a sweetness that comes to the surface and a refreshing bitterness that lingers until the second half of the glass - I love this sake 😊. My wife said that the first sip was sweet and smooth, but it gradually became sharp. There is nothing more blissful than good sake after work 🎵.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. I've been waiting to meet you for a long time and I'm so excited about the momentum, lol. Yes, it is! I enjoyed it so much because it changed its expression with each cup, from smooth - bitter - delicious 😊.

It was another dreary and difficult day. On a day like this, I thought I would enjoy a glass of sake. Today's drink was Masayo's Tama Hibiki from Tenryohai Sake Brewery. This sake has an elegant taste and is the sweetest of the series, based on the concept of "a sake that allows you to enjoy a moment in time, a moment of pleasure. First, let's take a look at the aroma. It has a fluffy sweet aroma, or maybe not. Or maybe not. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness and a slightly chili taste, and the mouthfeel is smooth and very tasty. The sweetness that spreads beautifully in the mouth is indeed irresistible 🎵. The second half of the wine is very salty and bitter, and I felt that the balance is very good. Masayo always has really good food, and it made me feel refreshed 😊.

Thanks for your comment, Pon. I really moved around a lot yesterday and was exhausted from the heat and humidity 💧. In the midst of it all, Masayo's beautiful drink and taste healed me deeply 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃. It's a blessing to have Masayo at home when you are tired of the heat 🥵🤗We, I have never received Tamakiyo 🥲 but it's a definite one! I want to be healed ☺️

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. Yesterday I felt blissful seeing Masayo in the fridge and was healed by drinking it 😊. Jay & Nobby, please give it a try if you get a chance 🎵.

Hi, ma-ki-chan! This year's rainy season is very hot and humid 🥵. When the discomfort level is this high, I certainly tend to go for refreshing food and drinks ✨. ［I wonder if Masayo will sell it in Fukui too 😅.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment, Jive. It's really humid and just an unbearable rainy season 💧. Masayo this time was beautiful and delicious ✨. I see that there are regional differences in the sake we offer. If you have a chance, please do!

I drank too much and ate too much yesterday, but at night you want to drink again 💧. So today, I saw this Nozomu Splash by Sotaike Sake Brewery, which I saw at my usual liquor store in the neighborhood of the next station and brought home! The first Nozomu I had at a yakitori restaurant before was very tasty, so I'm looking forward to this one as well! First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, sweetness, bitterness, and firm spiciness rush in. The spiciness lingers on until the very end, making it a solid drink. Although the spiciness is impressive, it is smooth to drink and has a hint of sweetness that makes it very tasty.

Japanese>English

Hello ma-ki-😃. The rhythm of drinking 🎵 is constant 😄Nozomu! For some reason I haven't met and drank Splash💦 for some reason 🥲 the spiciness is impressive 😚 I'd love to get involved 😁.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. Rhythm of drinking, my body reacts unconsciously lol. Oh, Jay & Nobby, you haven't had Splash yet😲. I'm glad that I've had so many opportunities to enjoy Tochigi's sake lately!

ヤスベェ

Hi, ma-ki- 😀 I'm glad you enjoyed the drink 😀. Actually, I couldn't drink this alcohol because I bought it and put it in my backpack and on the way back home I bumped it and it broke 🥲. The inside of my backpack was covered in alcohol and I had to wash it in the station bathroom 🥲.

Thanks for your comment, Yasbay. Aaaaahhh, it's too sad that it cracked while you were back home enjoying it 💧. I hope you enjoy it next time 😊.

The third drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was a Junmai Ginjo of Hitakami Summer by Hirakozo Shuzo. This is another sake that always appears on the lineup in the summer, and I have enjoyed it many times. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a refreshing sweetness and spiciness. The smooth taste makes it very easy to drink. The refreshing sweetness that remains until the latter half of the bottle makes it a truly delicious sake. ☺️

The second drink at our favorite yakitori restaurant was Souei Shuzo's Souei Shin Junmai-shu. The label says it is a Tochigi Prefecture sake. This is probably the first sake from the brewery I have ever tasted. First, the aroma. There is no particular aroma. In the mouth, you can feel a refreshing spiciness. And while it has a smooth mouthfeel that is uncharacteristic of junmai sake, it also has a complex flavor that is unique to junmai sake and is very delicious.

Hi, ma-ki-chan 😃 Flying yakitori shop😄You say you don't have one, but you have a good selection 🤗Soho is a sake that almost 90% of the brew is consumed in Tochigi prefecture 😊I'm glad you're drinking it in Osaka 🍶. Love Tochigi🥰!

Japanese>English

コタロー

Hi ma-ki-, ☀️ Looks delicious ☺️ I bought this one the other day after a recommendation from a liquor store, so I'm looking forward to it 🙌 A friend of mine in Tochigi said that Soyo is popular among the people in the prefecture (around him) 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

ma-ki-

Thanks for your comment, Jay & Nobby. Oh that was a rare sake to find outside of Tochigi Prefecture 😲. Thanks once again to the owner for allowing us to drink such a precious sake ✨.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment, Kotaro. If you like the prefecture, you can't go wrong with this sake after all. ⤴️ I felt it's a perfect junmai sake for summer that can be drunk crispy 😊. I look forward to your posts 🎵
