タローI fell in love with this sake at first sight after drinking it for the first time at a tavern in Saga. I was as shocked as I was when I first drank "Takachiyo" from Niigata. It is sweet or rather umami, with a great fruity taste. The impression is similar to "Takachiyo" in terms of type. It is good with sashimi with Kyushu's sweet soy sauce, but it is also enjoyable without it.

タロー昨年の秋、佐賀の酒蔵で試飲して即購入。 九州で北海道産きたしずくのお酒があるとは驚き。 少し甘めで、メロンのような香りの、爽やかな口当たり。炭酸感は控えめ。 ただ、酒蔵で試飲した時の方がもっと感動したような…現地のバイアスなのか、記憶が美化されたのか、開けるまで勿体ぶったからなのか、しかしすごく好みな味。

タローWhile I am personally getting into Honjozo, I happened to notice it at a liquor store in Saga and bought it. The taste is so mild that it is hard to believe it is a honjozo. It has an elegant taste even at room temperature. It tastes even mellower when warmed to lukewarm.

タローThe brewery is Nara Toyosawa Shuzo. I had already had Toyoshuku and Hyakugakumon several times, but was surprised to find that the taste was completely different from them. As one would expect from an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, it had a fresh, white grape-like mouthfeel with a slight carbonation. It was a very refreshing sake, and I felt that I could continue drinking it without snacks as I never got tired of drinking it.

萬勝はねぎ搾り純米吟醸
YoshidayaNagasaki

タローIt was so smooth in the mouth that it made one wonder if it was water. After that, a slight sweetness and the deliciousness of the rice quickly rushes down your throat, and you realize that it is sake. Perhaps it is because the alcohol content is between 14 and 15 degrees, but it is light on the palate and easy to drink.

タローSaga liked it after drinking it at the HAMA BAR at Hizenhama Station in Kashima, and bought it at a liquor store on the way home. It has a melon-like aroma, just the right amount of sweetness, and a clean, elegant taste. When I drank it again the next day, the corners were removed and it felt more like water. It was my first time to try Nokomi, and now I want to try other specs.

タローFor a special junmai, it had a melon-like aroma and a slightly sweet flavor that made one think it was a ginjo sake. I enjoyed the taste of the sake more with light-flavored snacks than with strong-flavored ones. Steady Kamikawa Taisetsu quality!

タローI bought this sake after drinking it for the first time at an izakaya in Saga on a business trip and liking it. It is a mildly mellow sake with a delicious flavor, but perhaps because it has a clean mouthfeel, I enjoyed the taste of the sake more when I drank it slowly without snacks rather than with them.

御前酒1859 雄町 菩提酛純米
Tsuji HontenOkayama

タローThis is the first time for me to drink Bodhi yeast sake. It has a rich flavor, as if the umami has been condensed. Rather than acidity and aroma, mellowness comes to the forefront. However, it does not come with a bang, but rather is elegant and mellow. Of course, it is good with snacks, but I prefer to savor it without snacks.

タローIt is also a summer sake, but it has been chilled for a few months, and finally opened. The aroma is subtle, and although it hits the throat a little bit, the overall impression is smooth. It is easy to drink, whether the flavor of the snacks is light or strong.

タローIt was released from the brewery in July, but it was too long in coming, so I finally opened the bottle now. It has a pleasantly moderate sweetness and a throat-splitting acidity rather than the freshness characteristic of nama-zake. The day after opening the bottle, the acidity mellows out, making it even easier to drink.

タローI heard about Koei-Kiku in Saga on a business trip, but could not drink it. I happened to find it at a liquor store where I stopped by for Nabeshima. I'm personally addicted to unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake, and Koei-Kiku's tastes more mellow than slightly effervescent, but I like it too.

タローI drank it at Uenaka, a corner bar in Asahikawa, in July and really liked the taste, so I bought a 4-goupe bottle. It seemed to be a limited edition, so I was a bit too generous and let it sit in the fridge, but it tasted just the same. It is fruity like white grapes and has a freshness, but the aroma and flavor are not too strong, so it is easy to drink and you will not get tired of it with any accompaniment. I would like to get it again if it is on sale.

Shichida純米吟醸生酛無濾過
Tenzan ShuzoSaga

タローIt has a fruity aroma like white grapes, but with just the right amount of sharpness and umami that goes down the throat. The label says it all, and I agree, it would be better as a food sake than as a stand-alone sake, as I never get tired of drinking it. Also, if you drink it at room temperature instead of cold, the mellowness becomes more pronounced, which I prefer.

タローOn the way back home, I purchased this sake at Namba Shuzo. I wanted to sample a variety of Washin, but was unable to because of the Corona, so I chose an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake that I liked. It was easy to drink, with a slight gassy, white grape-like aroma and a fresh mouthfeel. I recommend that the snacks be light in flavor rather than strong, so that you can enjoy the full flavor of the sake.

タローMy booming Kamikawa Taisetsu, Ginpu 100% Nama Sake. The pear-like aroma, slight fizziness, and smooth mouthfeel are exactly to my liking. Personally, I recommend drinking it without snacks rather than with them, as the taste is more pronounced and you will never get tired of it.

タローThis was the first brand I drank at a corner bar in Asahikawa. It has a melon-like aroma, and its lightness and acidity are so mild that it never gets boring and you can drink it all the time. Personally, I think it goes better with crispy snacks such as white meat sashimi than with strong flavored snacks. I like Kamikawa Taisetsu, but I also like Sanzen Sakura. Repeat for sure!

タローI had it for the first time at a corner bar in Asahikawa, liked it, and bought it immediately. The price is a little high for a honjozo, but the taste is so elegant that it is hard to believe it is a honjozo. It has a good balance of aroma, umami, and acidity, and it goes well with any snacks, and can be enjoyed by itself without any snacks.
