The bottle was opened on a spring afternoon. It's like a fine champagne already. It's so shwashy and sweet that the cork flies off the bottle. I happened to stop by Imadeya on the day it went on sale and bought it.
On a business trip, I stopped by the Harukawa Sake Shop in front of Takasaki Station to make a purchase. They recommended a new brand from Shibasaki Shuzo. Twice-hot, the aroma is subdued but fruity. Amber in color but modern in taste.
I bought Tenbi for the first time when I saw it at Masudaya. I have never had anything from the famous Toji's era, but it was delicious. The aroma is subdued, and although it has a strong alu feel, it has a nice sharpness with a slight gassiness.
First time, Mimuro Cedar. Dioavita. This is a delicious sake that lives up to its reputation. It has a refreshing ginjo aroma and a depth of flavor and milky taste that you would not expect from a low-alcohol sake. I want to make it my regular sake. Masudaya.
I stopped by Matsuzawa Sake Shop on a business trip to Niigata and bought a bottle of Sakura, which is only available at liquor stores in Niigata Prefecture. It has a gorgeous aroma and apple-like juiciness that finishes nicely. I was lucky to happen to buy a spring-like sake.
Purchased on a business trip to Niigata. Beautiful ginjo aroma and gasiness, sweetness, umami and crispness of rice from the raw sake. Delicious. At Matsuzawa's.
The snack is a dried firefly squid from Toyama, which my son bought as a souvenir. The fruity aroma and sweetness of the rice flavor is followed by a spiciness that finishes well. The balance is wonderful. At Matsuzaki's.
Opened the bottle on Sunday afternoon while cheering for Ai Suzuki to play. It is delicious with a mild aroma and melon and vanilla flavors followed by a clean and crisp taste. At Matsuzaki's.
Kaze no Mori 657 is always good to drink. Perfect for drinking early on holidays. Light, floral, and slightly effervescent. I like it better than beer. At Mekada.
Purchased at Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito in Mito Station. As the label suggests, it is a sweet, easy-drinking spring sake. The white malted rice flavor is not bad either.
Memorandum. At Suzuharu-san. This is the 4th bottle of Yongou bottle. This is the last one. I drank it on the recommendation of the store. It has a strong flavor and a nice sharpness.
This is my first Omine. I saw it at Matsuzaki and bought it. It has a sweet peachy heady aroma with a vanilla-like sweetness on the palate. I have never tasted sake with this flavor before. It is milky and tasty, and at 13 degrees Celsius, it is easy to drink.
