I was feeling better after having a bottle of Jinzo and wanted to drink a little more. So tonight, we had another sake that we could only drink a small portion of. This is a sake from a brewery I have never tasted before. It is Wakakoma Junmai Ginjo from Wakakoma Shuzojo. This is the last bottle I bought as a souvenir from my trip to Toyama. I will have it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, you feel the old-fashioned sake? The moment you take a sip, you will feel a beautiful sweetness. The aftertaste is spicy and lingers in the back of the throat. It is a little peculiar, but it is also umami and a little complex, which is different from the taste I usually enjoy, but I like it this way. This was the last of the Toyama souvenir sake. It was a very satisfying experience for me to be able to taste so many Toyama sakes during my trip.

Good evening, ma-ki-san🌇. I am glad you enjoyed your sake trip to Toyama. Mr. Wakakoma is a relative of Mr. Katsuma. I often meet him at events and he is a simple and serious person whose personality is reflected in his sake. Please come again 😉.

Thanks @Mizuhashi for your comments. It was my first trip to Toyama sake, and all of the sake were memorable and delicious ✨. Was Wakakoma-san a relative of Katsukoma-san😲? It was a delicious sake with a delicious sweet taste😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-chan 😃. We think of Wakakoma as a Tochigi sake 🍶😅It would be interesting to compare Wakakoma with Toyama 😋.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. When I searched for Wakakoma, only breweries in Tochigi prefecture came up at first and I was a bit nervous 💧. I would like to try various comparisons of drinking Wakakoma and Wakakoma-Katsukoma 😊.

I'm in the mood for a bit of drinking today. So, what shall we drink? The other day, we went on a tour of Kyoto's sake breweries, and one of my wife's favorites was Matsui Shuzo's Kagura. This time it was Junmai Daiginjo White. The sweetness was impressive when we tasted it, so we are looking forward to it. So, let's have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a refreshing sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it goes from refreshing to sweet deliciousness~. The sweetness seems to be of the refined Wasanbon type. From the strong impact of the sweet and delicious taste, a little saltiness and full-bodied taste can be felt. It is not too sweet as it finishes quickly and smoothly. The lingering aftertaste is a slight bitterness. It is still delicious. My wife also said it was delicious. It is of course delicious on its own, but I have the impression that it would not be bad with a meal. The drinkable size when you want to drink a little, and this deliciousness, it was a very satisfying saké tonight as well.

My wife and I are drinking at home today. What shall we drink? The Nigorin Pic has started at Sake-no-Wa, but we don't have that much nigorin at home, so after much deliberation, we decided on this. This is the first sake from the brewery. Takeyu Junmai Daiginjo Aizan by Takeyuu Co. This sake is brewed with Ogawa yeast. Let's have it right away. The first day First, the aroma. It has a sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will taste sweetness, sharp bitterness, and spiciness that spreads in your mouth. It has a very firm spicy aftertaste. It was cold at first, so when it cools down a little, the balance of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness improves, and the umami flavor is enhanced. It is delicious in its own way. When served with a meal, the bitterness and pungency become less pronounced and the balance with the sweetness improves even more. It is also delicious with a meal! Day 2 The sweet aroma that is somehow typical of Aizan passes through the nose while the sweetness is blissful. The bitterness and pungency are only slightly lingering. On the second day, the sake is quite sweet and delicious. Takeyuki is also a brewery that I learned about through Sakegawa, so I was deeply grateful to everyone who helped me find such a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

ひなはなママ

Good evening, ma-ki-! First, congratulations on your bravery: ㊗️ Today you are drinking at home with your wife 🍶😆 I have never had it, but it seems to be a very spicy and bitter sake. But I'm glad it turned sweet and tasty on the second day: ❣️

Today was a day I was able to spend slowly. I thought about taking a day off from drinking, but I felt like drinking. So we will open another bottle today. It is the first sake from a new brewery. It is a Ryusuisen from Ichinoya. This time it is Hitokochiki. I happened to come across this sake at a liquor store when I was looking for a sake from Nagano Prefecture. Let's have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a sweet vanilla-like aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a refreshing taste. It also has a slightly stimulating taste. Then, a refreshing pear-like sweetness is felt, and a fresh aroma passes through the nose. In the latter half, there is a soft bitterness that spreads in the mouth. I thought it was a slightly unusual flavor that I cannot describe well. When matched with a meal, the taste became richer and more umami. However, it did not interfere with the food. It was a delicious sweet and bitter sake that went very well with meals. Personally, I felt that it is a sake that I like to drink with meals. Well, it was a weekend where sake healed me and gave me energy for tomorrow.

Today I went to my wife's parents' house to make the annual New Year's cards for my parents-in-law. After the work, we had dinner. My mother-in-law is a very good cook and always makes a lot of delicious snacks. Now, I brought some sake to my wife's parents' house for a drink. It was the first time to drink sake from the brewery. Finally, we were able to drink a bottle of Oki Daikichi Honten's instrument Masamune. This time it is Hakutsumi. My wife's parents don't drink, so it's just me. So, let's start drinking. The first day First, the aroma. It has a fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a fresh, fruity sweetness. Perhaps it is because of the sweetness that accompanies the spiciness, but it is not too sweet, and I felt that it was well-balanced. After that, a soft bitterness is felt slowly, and once again, I felt that the balance is good. There are also moments when you can feel the firm alcohol. As the temperature rises, a banana-like sweetness emerges, making it an enjoyable sake that changes in taste with temperature. It is a sake that becomes more and more delicious as you drink it. The second day The sweetness increased and the overall taste became milder. The bitterness is also well balanced, making it easier to drink on the second day.

I wasn't planning to drink today, but somehow I felt like it. So we decided to have some Tomiou, which was sold by weight on Tuesday. It was my first experience of selling by weight, so I had it with the memory of how much fun it was. First, the aroma. It has a fresh, slightly citrusy aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the bitterness from the smooth mouthfeel. It also has a hint of sweetness, albeit moderate. The lingering aftertaste is the bitterness and spiciness that spreads in the mouth. It is a fresh and powerful sake, and although I found it a bit spicy, it is very tasty in its own way. It goes well with meals, and during the meal, I felt that the sweetness was also well balanced with the bitterness. I tried it on the rocks, which is also recommended. I tried it on the rocks. After the sweetness increased a little, I felt the bitterness was stronger, and the pungent bitterness spread quickly. It seems to have lost some of its curdiness. It is very difficult to feel the difference in taste. I was really happy to be able to spend time drinking sake, and I am energized for tomorrow.

Next was Fujioka Sake Brewery's Aozora. We were also given a set to compare drinks and a few snacks. For purchase, we took home a bottle of Kinuhikari Orikarami, which is not included in the paid tasting. Here are my impressions of the paid tasting. Junmai Daiginjo Oorigarami Aizan Milky and full of umami, but not too sweet. It can be enjoyed as a food sake. Junmai Daiginjo Oorigarami Betsuatsurae Yamadanishiki A clear, old-fashioned sake with a strong umami flavor. It also has a strong umami. The lingering aftertaste is refreshingly bitter and well-balanced. Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki A classic sake that has been around since the beginning. It has a smooth mouthfeel. It has a soft sweetness and a salty taste with a soft lingering bitterness. A sake that is delicious every time you drink it without giving up. Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake At room temperature. The taste in the mouth is very robust. A nice spiciness from the firm mouthfeel that only junmai sake can have. The second half has a refreshing citrus aroma, sweetness, and a soft lingering bitterness. The rice used to make this sake is Kinuhikari. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and bitterness give way to umami. It is clean and fruity. The lingering aftertaste is a soft bitterness that is common to all of the wines we have had today, and I felt it was exquisitely balanced. It has been a while since I have had Aozora, but it was delicious.

Today is my day off, so my wife and I are in Kyoto for a sake brewery tour. I saw a post by Sake no Wa about visiting a kamizo (a sake brewery) and thought it was close to Demachiyanagi area. We decided to visit a brewery in Fushimi as well. We originally planned to go from Demachiyanagi to Fushimi, but we had to stop at Tambabashi due to a train accident, so we started from Fushimi. Although we could not visit the brewery, we first saw the massive exterior of the Matsumoto Sake Brewery and then went to the nearby Kitagawa Honke Brewery. This was our first visit to the brewery. Kitagawa Honke's Tomio. This time, we tasted three kinds of sake and took home two small bottles. The Junmai Daiginjo, which is sold by weight, was poured into bottles on the spot, which was a very exciting experience. This post is about the remaining bottle (the one on the far right). Probably an alcohol-added daiginjo according to the description. First, the aroma. The aroma is not very pleasant. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness and a beautiful mouthfeel that you would not expect from an alcohol-added sake. It was very tasty and very satisfying to drink. However, my wife was a little uncomfortable when she felt the alcohol was too strong, so we gave up on taking it home. All of the sakes were very refreshing and tasty with a straightforward taste. After enjoying Tomiou, we moved on to Fujioka Sake Brewery in Aozora.

The last event at Komenohana was Nabeshima by Tomikuchiyo Shuzo. This time it was New Moon. I was going to drink 4 cups at Komenohana and then drink Akabu at home, but I was tempted and drank one more cup, so I had to adjust my post and put this one off 💧. I'll get back on track and review. First, the aroma. It smells fresh? In the mouth, the sweet and umami taste is great~! The middle part is a gradation of bitterness and spiciness that I don't mind, and it is still a stable delicious nabe-sama. The umami of this "Nabesama" is too good to be true in my opinion. It was too delicious. I would like to visit again. By the way, even though I thought I would only have one bottle here today, I took home Nabesama's Yamadanishiki, Kame no Kai's Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu, and Akanesasu's Sparling on my way home. We planned to reduce the amount of sake in spite of the cellar being full, but there were too many delicious sakes to reduce it.

Japanese>English

れおま

ma-ki - I was curious about Komenohana when I saw your post. I'd like to make an opportunity to go there somehow 🥰. When I go out for a drink, I think I will have the rest at home, but I will drink more than planned as well 😁.

Yesterday I had a delicious sake at my first Comenohana and felt good when I got home, so I opened a bottle of this one. Akabu by Akabu Shuzo. This time it was Junmai Ginjo NEWBORN. This is the first label we have received. Many people have already posted about this sake, so I was looking forward to it. I will have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a refreshing yet vanilla-like aroma. In the mouth, there is a refreshing sweetness with a hint of sake from the fresh entrance. It also has a slightly chili taste and a refreshing bitter pungent taste, again very well balanced. It is delicious. The bitterness is a little stronger when paired with a meal, and it does not interfere with the food. It was a very pleasant evening, and I am glad that I was able to encounter new and delicious sake today. Day 3 It has a refreshing sweetness, bitterness, and saltiness on the palate, with a crisp balance. During the meal, unlike the beginning of drinking, I felt that the mild taste made the umami stand out even more. It was a night when I was deeply blissful, thinking that this is a truly delicious sake. 300CI

The fourth drink at Komenohana was the Kankoume Owl by Kankoume Shuzo. I have always enjoyed sake from Mie Prefecture, but this was a sake I had not had much of a chance to encounter, so I decided to try it. So, let's have it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. In the mouth, it is quite rich with sweetness and umami. After it finishes, the bitterness spreads slowly, so I think it is a sweet sake, but it is not too sweet, and yet it is a delicious sake with a strong umami taste. It was an evening that made me realize that this is a really good restaurant, and that sometimes it is a good time to visit a new restaurant and have a tanten (a drink).

The third sake at Komenohana was Hououmida Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake by Kobayashi Shuzo. I have had several Hououmida's this year, and all of them were delicious, so I am looking forward to this one. So, let's have it right away. First, the aroma. Does it have a fresh aroma? In the mouth, you can feel a slight sweetness from the strong umami bitterness. The lingering taste is a gentle bitterness, and the balance is as always excellent. Along with the sweetness, there is a slight citrus acidity that gives the taste a gradation of flavors and depth. I thought it was a really delicious sake with a sweet flavor.

The second drink at Komenohana will be the first sake from the brewery. Beau Michelle by Banno Sake Brewery. This is another sake that I had been curious about but hadn't had a chance to drink yet. I will have it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, it is very fruity. The lingering citrus acidity is irresistible. If it were served in a glass without any information, you wouldn't know it was sake, would you? The fruity flavor comes out in full force. You can't taste any bitterness or pungency. It is a delicious sake that can be drunk easily. Sake is really interesting.

Today, I had a happy miscalculation and went to pick up a bottle of Jigokino-nigori, which I had thought had not been selected, when I received a notice that it had been selected. So, I went to a restaurant that I had wanted to visit for a long time. I went to Komenohana. This shop has both a sales and a bar, and since I had made a reservation at 5:00 p.m. for the food and drink, I looked around for some good sake to drink until then. The lineup was very interesting: Kame no Kai, Nabeshima, Nisato, Houou Mita, Chiebijin, Shichida, and so on. There were so many sakes I wanted to try that I bought three bottles after eating and drinking. The first sake at the restaurant was one that I had longed for! Tsuchiya Sake Brewery's Kame no Umi. This time, it was sunset or sunset. I am quite excited to finally be able to drink Kame no Umi. I'm going to have it right away. First, the aroma. It has a sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gentle sake flavor from the clean mouthfeel. Then, sweetness, slight bitterness, and a little bit of saltiness. It is delicious. The aftertaste is again a gentle sweetness and umami. I have the impression that it is a very beautiful sake. This moment when I could drink the sake I wanted to drink - it was an unforgettable blissful time.

I felt like drinking after work today. So I went to my favorite yakitori restaurant and had a drink by myself. The lineup of alcoholic beverages I had this time The first glass: Hikakami super-harabi Second cup: Nabeshima Hiyoroshi 3rd cup - Jikin Nigori Kamisumi The 4th cup: Jikin Nigori This time, it was the Hirakami super-harakuchi junmai from Hirakou Shuzo. The other sakes were all recently consumed, so this is a digest of them. The first thing to notice is the aroma. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, as the name suggests, the attack comes from the spiciness. However, there is a sweetness and umami in the spiciness that makes it delicious. It is also nice that the bitterness spreads slowly after it finishes. It does not feel like a traditional sake, but has a robust umami flavor that is blissful. Of course, it was perfect with a meal. Nabeshima HarvesMoon It has a rich, not too sweet, umami, bitter and pungent taste, and it is still delicious. Jikin It has a chili flavor, sweetness and umami, and is delicious. It has a sweet and savory taste. It was a good weekend drink for a casual visit.

This week has been relatively quiet, although some urgent work has come in. This week has been relatively calm, although I had to take on some urgent work. This week, we finally had a real new sake drinking session at home. The other day, I bought a bottle of Toyo Sakai by Miura Shuzo at Yamanaka Sake no Ten Eki Marche. This time it is a new sake Junmai Ginjo. The Junmai sake we tasted at the store was delicious, so we are looking forward to it. So, let's have it right away. The first day First, the aroma. It has a refreshing citrus aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it is hard to describe, but you can feel a light sweetness and bitterness. This is a rare taste for me personally. The lingering aftertaste is the same bitterness as before, and I thought it was a refreshing sake that could be drunk with a refreshing taste from start to finish. I wondered if it could be a little sweeter. It is easy to drink with a meal, and it is delicious. I also thought it was a sake that became more and more delicious as I continued drinking it. Day 3 The same smooth, light sweetness and refreshing bitterness. It is smooth, easy to drink, and delicious. When paired with a meal, the spiciness is also present, which is also delicious. Finally, I was able to enjoy Toyobai slowly - it was delicious.

Yesterday I took a day trip to Kagawa Prefecture with my parents. They wanted to visit a beautiful photo spot at the Shikoku Aquarium, so we decided to go there before it got too cold. It took us a while to get there, but we were able to take pictures at the photo-worthy spots and my parents were very satisfied with the trip. We went back to my parents' house for dinner and had a late party. The snacks were olive yellowtail and sea bream shabu shabu shabu, which we had separately at the seafood restaurant we stopped by for lunch. Tuna sashimi. The four of us were smitten with the taste. Even my father, who has strict diet restrictions, was pleased with the delicious food! He was delighted. Here is a tipple from the evening party. It is a Bizen Omachi sake from Kamo Nishiki Sake Brewery. Let's have it right away. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. When you put it in your mouth, sweetness and umami spread out. The umami is very good. I like it very much. Then, you can feel a slight chiri-chiri-stimulation. The lingering aftertaste is a soft bitterness that spreads out as a baton pass from the sweetness that continues from the beginning. The mouthfeel is as beautiful as ever, and although it has a sweet taste, it is not too sweet and is very refreshing.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃. It's nice to travel with your family ☺️ We've never been to Shikoku either 🥲we were talking about taking a vacation the week after next and going on a bullet train ⁉️🤗 Olive yellowtail and shipper sake 🏷️ sounds like a good match 😚!

Good evening, ma-ki-san😄. I could see how much fun you had on your one-day trip to Shikoku. I really admire ma-ki-san for his filial piety 🥰The baggage tag sake looks delicious 😋I was also curious about the olive yellowtail: ❣️

Thanks for your comments Jay & Nobby. I hadn't been to Shikoku in a long time either, so it was a bit of an exciting drive🚗. Bullet tour from Tochigi prefecture: ✈️ The olive yellowtail was delicious and went well with the sake 😊.

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama. I'm not saying it's filial piety, I'm just enjoying seeing my parents' smiling faces as if they were children again 🎵. The olive yellowtail was delicious! The sake was great too 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃. Food is delicious in Shikoku, isn't it? It's interesting to see how the specialties change from prefecture to prefecture. Every time I read your review of Shikoku's sake, I want to try it 💦.

Thank you for your comment, soumacho. Shikoku is surrounded by the sea and is known for its seafood. This is my second time in Kagawa and I was very impressed with the delicious fish ✨. I'm still a beginner at packing tags, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the delicious fish 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛. I'm glad you had a good day with your parents in Kagawa and were able to visit all the places you wanted to 😁. The fish from the Seto Inland Sea has a different and delicious flavor, but I can't get enough of hamachi and sea bream shabu-shabu with "Kamonishiki" 😋.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your comment Gyve. It was farther than I expected and it was mostly travel time but we managed to complete the mission 😁✨✨. The hamachi and sea bream shabu shabu shabu was really delicious and went great with the sake 😊.

Hello ma-ki-san ^_^ My wife's family runs a ferry and we sometimes eat the fish they catch ✨ Fish shabu shabu is delicious! I'll have a dry sake with you👍

Thanks for your comment Manta. Your freshly caught fish looks delicious ⤴️ It's been a really long time since I've had fish in shabu-shabu, but it was very tasty with a sweet taste 🎵. Dry sake is more 👍️

This month we will open a little better. SENKIN's SENKOKU REI. I couldn't find the right time to drink it, but now I've got it. I'll have it right away. The first day First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. When you put it in your mouth, sweetness permeates. Then, it is fruity. After the sweetness settles down, the bitterness comes out. It is not only sweet, but also well-balanced and beautiful. This is really delicious, too delicious. My wife also roared at how delicious it was. When paired with a meal, the sweetness and umami increase, and it is also very tasty. The second day The sweetness has increased a little, and the rich umami flavor can be clearly discerned. There is no bitterness in the aftertaste, and it is only a hint of spiciness. It is really delicious today, too. I am very happy to have met such a delicious sake.

ヒロ

Good evening, ma-kee 🌙I have a bitter memory of this Sentori, which I saw once and put it on hold because of my refrigerator 😭. （I'll definitely buy it next time I see it 😤 because I want to have sweet and clear taste without bitterness (from my point of view).

This week we decided on a sake that can also be enjoyed warmed. This is Kaze no Mori ALPHA 5 by Aburacho Shuzo. This was my first Kaze no Mori, and at the time I was unaware that it was a sake that could be enjoyed heated, but I enjoyed it cold and was impressed by its deliciousness. I was very impressed with the taste 💧 I will try ALPHA5 soon. The first day. First, the aroma. It has a strong but refreshing sake aroma. Slightly effervescent when poured into a glass. Cold sake The taste is slightly stimulating, but not too much. In the mouth, you can taste sweetness and bitterness with a hint of citrus freshness. The lingering aftertaste is a refreshing spiciness that spreads to the back of the throat, giving it a good balance. Warmed to lukewarm. The bitterness is more pronounced than when served cold. The sweetness is well balanced even when lukewarm. Day 2 The chili sensation has subsided a bit and the mouthfeel is smooth. The balance of sweetness, bitterness, and sourness is still the same, and the complexity is still good. Day 3 The chili flavor is gone, but it is still very fruity. The bitterness has been reduced, and the slight sweetness and acidity are very refreshing. ALPHA5 is still a delicious drink after a long time.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan😄I see you went to Kaze no Mori! It's getting colder and it's good time to warm up 👌I liked it better cold 😍My husband liked it better heated up 😅I liked this one so much I bought it on repeat ❣️

Japanese>English

Thanks for your comment Kano. I never thought of the idea of drinking heated sake because it tastes so good cold 💧. But I see that Kano-san does too 😁. It was nice to have it lukewarm and the acidity increased 😊.

Thanks for your comment Rehma. I can never drink in a day, so I'm into trying to keep track of time 😁. I always have the same impression 💧. I hope you will try it again 😊.

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama. It's almost time to enjoy heated sake 🍶. I love cold sake too, but I also experienced the pleasure of heated sake, which I didn't know about when I first drank it 🎵. I see you bought some libations 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-san. Just last week I went to buy a bottle of ALPHA3 to warm up, but I was pushed to buy the ALPHA3 because it was the last one to be fired up. Your review of the changes in temperature and number of days was very helpful. I knew I had to buy it...

Japanese>English

ma-ki-

Thank you sibylla_tks for your comment. It's true, you are ALPHA3 final 😲. I would welcome this if there was an ALPHA3 😁✨✨. I hope you get another chance 😊.

Hi ma-ki-chan 😃 We had heated sake 🍶 last week and we were talking about how good it is to have heated sake 😚 but yesterday was the complete opposite 🤗.

Japanese>English

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. I see you already enjoyed the heated sake 🎵. Yes, I did. It was quite warm yesterday, so we decided to just keep it cold 💧. Heated sake is really good when it gets really cold 😊.

Hi ma-ki-san! I had a bottle of "Kaze no Mori Kankan SAKE no Tanken" at an off-line meeting the other day and it was infinitely drinkable 😁. I love the cold weather, so I always have a set of 3 things: hot pot, hot sake, and a local specialty, mizuyokan 🤣.

Japanese>English

ma-ki-

Thank you for your comment, Gyve. I saw that you were drinking at the offline meeting 🎵 It's been a really long time since I've had it, but it can be drunk endlessly✨. I'm curious about the local specialty water yokan 😲.
