On a trip to Hakata. Purchased at a convenience store. It is made by a sake brewery in Yame using rice grown in Yame. It has a fruity and sweet taste with a clean aftertaste.
I was going to buy the famous Ocean series, but next to it there was a brand that I was curious about because it is only distributed in Chiba Prefecture, and it is only available during this season. After the slightly carbonated and fresh taste, a gentle sweetness spreads. I could go on and on with this one. It's a very satisfying drink with a great cosmetic value.
A souvenir from a trip to Hakone at the end of last year. It comes in smoothly with a smooth, light, watery mouthfeel and disappears at the end, leaving a firm dry taste. It is quite delicious.
The first time I drank a Jyushiyo, it was a superb one. There was absolutely no cloying taste, and the fruity sweetness was perfectly balanced with a sharpness that quickly faded away.
The season for new sake has arrived. Purchased at a liquor store in Moriya. It has a freshness like green apples that only new sake can have. I hardly felt any gassiness.
Purchased at a roadside station in Kanzaki. It is made with a particular method, including the use of pesticide-free rice and natural fermentation with no added yeast. The taste was a little different from the sake I usually drink, as it was quite noticeably sour.
A souvenir from a mountain climbing trip in Kofu.
It is aptly described as "square" and has a gorgeous flavor that comes in smoothly and spreads out, and then recedes nicely without any cloying taste.
Purchased in Mizukami on the way back from climbing Mt. Although it is labeled "super-harsh," the sake initially had a mellow mouthfeel and the flavor of the rice could be felt well.
I finally had a chance to try Kouraku, which I have been curious about for a long time. The wine has a fruity flavor, but it's not too sweet, and it's easy to drink. We enjoyed it with JYUWARI SEIRO-SOBA (buckwheat noodles) made from HACHINREKUSAKI-SOBA.
At the ANA international lounge in Haneda. I thought it was alcoholic, but the alcohol content was also very high at 20 degrees. You can feel the dry taste at the back of your throat.
