What do you think of Aomori Prefecture's sake? That's right, it's Tazake! So it is quite a famous sake from Aomori Prefecture. This is my first Tasake! Well, open the bottle... eh, eh! What is this absolutely delicious aroma! I can confirm that this is delicious before you even drink it👍The aroma can be likened to that of grapefruit, a refreshing citrusy aroma that spreads through your nostrils. Just smelling it is soothing ✨. When you put it in your mouth, it spreads a refreshingly cool acidity and umami. I can only say that it is delicious. It's hard to describe, but it's just delicious. That's all I can say. Tasake, this is the taste of perfection. This is the first time for me to drink sake made with Gin-Karasu-ho, but this was a precious discovery! I am happy to have found a good sake 😊.

Following the recent Akaban Yumachi, here comes Nabeshima brewed with Aizan✨I had to rush to the distributor to buy this Nabeshima! This Aizan Junmai Ginjo Nabeshima has not been on sale for a long time, so it will be available in limited quantities. The label is so nice 😍the washi-like texture is so elegant🤗. Now, open the bottle! The first aroma is a soft, tropical aroma 🏝️ with a pineapple flavor that is unique to Aizan. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the slight bubbles, sweetness, and sourness that come in quickly. The sweetness and sourness rush into the mouth, and then it finishes with a light bitterness that can be felt when swallowing. Mmmm, it is really delicious! The tropical flavor through the nose is also great 😆 As expected of Nabeshima👍. I'm happy to have met another great sake today. ☺️ Thanks for the food!

What do you think of Saga's sake? That's right, Nabeshima! And then there's this beautifully labeled Akaban Omachi! Cool... When you open the bottle, you are greeted with a fizzy sensation! And then the sweet melon-like aroma unique to Yumachi that you can smell softly 🤗I love this aroma! When you drink it, you first feel the fizzy sweetness, then the sourness spreads to the back of your throat, and then it finishes nicely. It also disappears elegantly and smoothly... I'm looking forward to seeing more of Nabeshima and Aizan 😆 Mmmm... Delicious! Thank you for the food!

The name of the sake is "Ten", which means "calmness" in Japanese! I heard it became a hot topic after it was featured in a certain magazine ✨Well, I saw it and bought it too lol. When you open the bottle, the top aroma is a little subdued, but the gentle rice aroma permeates your nostrils. It is truly a "tenmayu"! It is just as gentle in the mouth! The acidity slowly spreads and the soft bitterness quickly and beautifully finishes. It is truly nourishing. When you swallow it, you even feel a clear and cool sensation. As a certain magazine said, it is an excellent match for nabe (hot pot) with dashi broth. Today I am enjoying it with koya-tofu (dried tofu), and it brings out the best in both. Thanks for the treat ✨

What is the most famous sake in Chiba? Yes, Kangiku! Kangiku? Kangiku or Kangiku? Which is it? Well, this sake is suitable for a special occasion! So let's open the bottle! Well, this is juicy! It's already delicious. The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a fizzy, bubbly sensation, followed by a fruity, juicy aftertaste reminiscent of pineapple... too good... too good! It is more like an after-dinner dessert sake rather than a food wine. I think it would be better to drink it by itself so that it doesn't interfere with the flavor of the sake. It was a wonderful sake that made me want to do my best in both my work and private life with a fresh spirit! Thank you, Kangiku🤗. So, is it kangiku after all? Kangiku? Which is it?

Ankake, I always enjoy your wonderful feedback! I heard that kangiku is correct, but the brewer also said that kangiku is fine, it was on the Chiba saké travel section of the YouTube saké labo-chan channel!

Yoshiyoshi, thank you for your comment 😆 Actually, kankiku is the correct one! But from the brewery's point of view, it doesn't matter either way lol I'm subscribed to the sakelabo channel so I'll check it out 🤗Thank you for the valuable information.

What is the most famous sake in Nagasaki these days? Yes, Hiranda! I can't get the kanji conversion to work... I bought it because it was introduced in a certain magazine and since then its popularity has been on the rise! It's a sake rice called Nikomaru and the name is cute😍Next best to Snow Goddess! The top aroma is not so strong, but there is a faint scent of clear fruity aroma, green apple if I may say so. When poured, the lees of the unfiltered draft flutters like snow. Beautiful...and this fizziness! It's so fizzy! The first thing you feel in your mouth is the refreshing fizziness that you can tell from the appearance! After that, you will feel a gradual sourness, followed by sweetness and a hint of bitterness that quickly fades away in the back of your mouth. This is delicious 🤗It is similar to the aftertaste of sparkling wine in sensation ✨. I wasn't familiar with Nagasaki sake, but this was a great opportunity to try other sakes! Thanks for the wonderful sake encounter✨!

Today was somewhat of an assemblage day, so here is the drink! A massive earthquake hit the Noto Peninsula on New Year's Day. The road to recovery is not yet clear. That is why we want to be of help, even if only a little. With this in mind, we opened the bottle. The top aroma is a little subdued. You can feel a slight grapefruit-like fresh carbonation. When poured into a cup, the slight cloudiness is beautiful ✨. The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a beautiful and elegant sweet and sour taste. The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a beautiful, elegant sweet and sour taste. When you swallow it, a clear and refreshing bitter taste reminiscent of grapefruit spreads in your mouth 🤗 Mmmm...this is delicious! And finally, it disappears with a slight carbonation aftertaste. This is the true taste of Senkin! Thank you for the food 😆.

Speaking of Fukushima sake with stylish labels? Yes, that's right, it's the instrument Masamune! I've been wanting to try this series for sometime and finally got to drink it✨. When you open the bottle, the aroma is softly fragrant, muscat-like, and discreetly sweet. When you include it, a refreshing sourness, a fizzy feeling, and an elegant sweetness spreads in your mouth. When swallowed, the lingering taste of moderate acidity is pleasant 🥴It is low in alcohol, so it is easy to drink! I would like to try a different flavor next time 🤗. Thanks for the food 😋😋.

Speaking of Tokushima sake? Yes, Naruto sea bream! So today, we will be having a drink in the afternoon with Toyama Prefecture's famous yellowtail sushi and trout sushi. So we opened the bottle... Oh, it has a rich and mellow aroma with a hint of rice flavor! It's the kind of aroma you want to smell forever! The rice flavor spreads in the mouth! This richness! After swallowing, the sharpness of the sake is irresistible - the fat from the fish that remains in your mouth after eating yellowtail sushi is quickly and easily swept away! It also broadens the flavor of the sake. This is not good! I can't stop drinking! I later realized that this sake also goes well with pickled amberjack, which is a perfect match for a dish with a lot of fat ✨No wonder I found myself drinking 2 gou of this sake...horrible... I have had a different flavor of Naruto Tai called LED before, and it had a different deep, rich sweetness. It was also delicious, so I decided to go for a dry sake this time, and I was right! Thank you for another great sake encounter~☺️Thank you for the food~!

What is everyone's favorite Tochigi sake? Yes, that's right, Houou Mita! I admit to disagreeing. It's Hououmida brewed with Kame-no-o. It must be delicious! So I opened the bottle. Well, I can feel the terroir. It has this clear, refined, fruity aroma. It must be the terroir, no doubt. When you put it in your mouth, you will be delighted by the deep sweetness and acidity that only the one and only Kame-no-o can offer. This is addictive. Houou Mita is too good. After drinking, there is a lingering sense of satisfaction. I guess it's because it's a Kame-no-o that it lingers on. Thank you for the food ✨

Jay & Nobby Good evening! Thank you for your comment ✨There are a lot of sake from Tochigi that are easy to drink and delicious! I think Houou Mita is my favorite among them 🤗I think I'll get another one of a different kind...

Ryujinmaru! So this is the second bottle of Ryujinmaru Ginjo. The other day it was junmai ginjo, and this time it is ginjo. I am looking forward to it! So we opened the bottle. The first aroma is delicious! The alcohol content of 18 degrees Celsius is not exactly what you'd expect. It has the potential to be enjoyed even in a single gou or so. Thank you very much for your kindness.

It's been a while since I've had sake! So here it is, Hokkaido's No.1 favorite, Kamikawa Taisetsu! Brewed with Hokkaido's sake rice, Ginpu! How could it not be delicious ✨? So we opened the bottle! The aroma is soft and fruity, yet it has a crisp and clean impression. It goes deep into the nose. The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a juicy flavor reminiscent of green apples, followed by a sourness that tightens up the entire flavor. It has great potential as a food sake! Next time, I would like to try it lukewarm!

What do you think of Saga's sake? Yes, Nabeshima! I finally opened a bottle of Harvest Moon that I bought a while ago! The label is cool! The top aroma is refined, clear, and refreshing. In the mouth, you can feel a little fizziness, but also clear acidity and concentrated sweetness. I love the chili sensation as it passes down the throat 😆 and the lingering aftertaste that quickly fades away is unforgettable. ☺️ As expected from Nabeshima👍It's a gem that lives up to expectations✨.

Ryu~jinmaru~! I'm about to reveal my age, but this is Ryujinmaru, a famous sake from Wakayama, Japan! This year is the year of the dragon, so we will open the bottle today in honor of the dragon. The top aroma is a quiet, withering, grassy, atmospheric scent. In other words, it has an elegant and deep aroma. In the mouth...oh, this is thick! The rich and powerful mouthfeel of the pure sake, the full-bodied bitterness that spreads in the mouth, and the smoothness that goes down your throat! This is what I call "Nama-no-Harakyu". As the name Ryujinmaru suggests, it has a powerful mellow flavor that is addictive. ☺️ I also bought a Junmai-shu of this Ryujinmaru, so I'm looking forward to that one too ✨. And I'm really looking forward to discovering more good sake this year 😊.

The days are freezing in the winter, but that's when Shichiken hiyaoroshi comes in! You thought you bought it in early fall, but it's winter! Well, that's why I opened the bottle! Oh, it has a rounded, stingless sweetness. It is different from the Tengoshiki I drank before. First, cold...oh, this is delicious! It has a fluffy sweetness with a clear and elegant umami. Hiyaoroshi is so good! Next, I tried it hot! The dryness of the sake is more pronounced when it is served hot. It is also delicious! It has a different taste when it cools down. It's great cold or hot 😄. I would like to buy this sake again next year.

Speaking of sake brewed in Hokkaido, yes, Otokoyama! I bought this sake because it is a Hokkaido limited edition! The bottle is very beautiful 🤩I checked the label and found out that it uses the work "White Illusion" by Shinzo Maeda, a photographer who popularized the beauty of the hills in Biei. I can really feel the beauty of Hokkaido! So I opened the bottle! There is almost no top note, but there is a faint aroma of rice. I checked and it seems to be Miyamanishiki. First, it was served cold! Wow, this has a very mellow aroma and a delicious rice flavor that penetrates through the nose! It tastes like junmai sake. We also tried it lukewarm this time! Oh, this is delicious! The flavor and sweetness of the sake really come to life when it is lukewarm. This sake is very good lukewarm 😍The last time I drank this sake, I drank Kamikawa Taisetsu from Hokkaido, which is also very good cold. Thank you Hokkaido😍Here's to the land of the north!

This is a famous sake from Yamagata! I was looking forward to it because I knew the name but had never had it ✨It has a reputation for being delicious! Well, let's open the bottle. Well, I can't get enough of this juicy aroma 🤗It's rich and fruity! The rich fruitiness spreads in the mouth! The juiciness spreads like melon. This is delicious 😋. The rice is Yamadanishiki, but you can feel the juiciness of Omachi. It has a deep flavor, yet it has a nice lightness that makes it easy to drink! Thank you for the delicious sake!

I wonder if it was a good idea to have such a delicious sake at my first Senkin... This is my first Senkin with such extravagant worries! The top aroma is elegant and sweet, yet clean, like a white wine. In the mouth...ah, what an elegant taste! The sake rice is also the first Kame-no-o, a sake rice that will be familiar to those who know Natsuko's sake. The drinkability is different from that of Aizan or Omachi! The elegant, yet refreshing wine-like fruity taste spreads out and disappears quickly. I can't say whether it tastes good because it is Senkin or not because I haven't had other Senkin, but it is just delicious! I can't tell you if it's because it's Senkin or because I haven't had any other Senkin! But I can't drink it often because it is very expensive.
