Maybe one of my last sake in Japan - bought at a Tokyo conbini near my hotel. It is smooth, dry, and almost melony. Yum! Would drink again.

Absolutely one of my favorite sake. It is robust but easy to drink, smooth but interesting, rice like but with a great deal of umami. I love this one and will be searching for it in bottle before I leave Fukushima.

Had as part of the Ume Course during my second dinner at this lovely ryokan. It was smooth and my favorite of the bunch. Definitely lived up to its name.

I got the Pine Course of sake with my first dinner at Kutsurogijuku Chiyotaki, this sake was part of it and was far and away my favorite. Delicious, smooth, with a hint of pine and a certain je ne sais quoi. If I can find a bottle, I’m getting it!

Drank from my suitcase stash as I bought too much sake this trip 🤣 It was sweet but not cloying and nicely strawberry! I could taste that it was real berries, not a fake flavor.

Tried at my tasting at Imayo Tsukasa Brewery. One of my favorites from the tasting. It was so delicious and different than usual non-cedar barrel sake. I bought some so I can have it again later 🥰

Tried at my tasting at Imayo Tsukasa Brewery. Oh wow - it was crazy how much sweetness they packed into this without using sugar! Yum!
