Hiroki純米大吟醸

It's the sake that you know the name of but can't buy very often, that Tobiroki! I opened the bottle because I could finally drink it! The aroma is elegant from the first whiff. The aroma of Yamada Nishiki tickles my nostrils. The flavor of Yamadanishiki spreads in the mouth! It is very juicy. Junmai Daiginjo is no joke. This is actually my first time drinking sake from Fukushima. It's not that I have shied away from it, it's just that I have not had much experience with it. But after drinking this Tobiroki, I understood. Fukushima sake is delicious! I'm glad I found a good sake ✨.

This is a draft sake brewed with Kaze no Mori's Aizan! We opened the bottle as soon as we could, knowing that there is no shortage of Kaze no Mori! Ahhhh, I love the sour tropical aroma of this Aizan. It's sure to be delicious! When you put it in your mouth, the carbonation and tropical juiciness characteristic of nama-shu spreads. When it is poured down the back of the throat, the carbonation and the sweet and sour taste spreads. It reminds us of a page from our youth. Of course, Yamadanishiki and Omachi are delicious, but Aizan is my favorite sake rice.

Good evening, Mr. Ankake. Kaze no Mori is delicious 🎵 I see that Ankake-san likes Aizan! I happen to be a fan of Omachi by chance, but I find sake interesting when I see how you started and what you like ✨.

ma-ki - Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Your story shows how deep the depth of Sake is. ☺️ I love Aizan so much that when I find Aizan Sake, I immediately buy it.

This is a Kyoto-only sake, Setsugetsuka Arashiyama! The name is cool! It looks like the name of a technique in the Ro*saga! I tasted it the other day at a Kyoto product exhibition in a certain place and was so tempted by its rich taste that I bought it. The top aroma has a strong scent of thick Yamadanishiki. The aroma is already rich! Pouring it into a cup, you can feel the thickening of the sake, although it is not a pure sake. When you take a sip, you can taste the mellow rice flavor. It goes down the throat smoothly, but you can feel a strong aftertaste. This is delicious! It was a bit pricey, but you can't go wrong with it! It was a highly satisfying sake 🤗.

It's already the end of this year's Golden Week. Now, to close out the Golden Week, here is a Junmai Daiginjo from Tatenogawa! The name "Seiryu" is wonderful! It is perfect for this season when you feel the early summer. Now, open the bottle. The top aroma is slightly subdued with a fruity sweetness. The clear, transparent aroma is just like a clear stream! In the mouth...oh, it is very light and softly fruity☺️ and it goes down the throat easily, just like a clear stream! It is just like a clear stream! This is a good sake that can be drunk easily! The taste makes me want to drink it a little cooler next time, maybe even hanakairo (flower-cooled).

Kinmei is a local Shizuoka sake known only to those in the know! It is consumed mainly only in Gotemba, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is not widely distributed anywhere else! The austerity of the label gives a sense of the history of the local sake! This time, I'm going to drink it cold. So we opened the bottle. The top aroma is a delicate, elegant sweetness. The color is a beautiful amber. The color is unique to junmai sake. When you put it in your mouth...oh, this is delicious! It has the mellow rice flavor that only junmai sake can have, and an elegant smoothness that leaves no cloying taste! The flavor spreads as the temperature rises from Hanakazuke to Hana-yellow. This is definitely a good sake even when heated! This is a delicious local sake from Shizuoka! Thank you very much for the good sake!

I'm already in a fluffy mood after drinking about 2 goules of Jikin Unfiltered Raw Omachi! It's so easy to drink and so delicious! I've never had 100% Omachi, but I really like the taste and aroma! The aroma is mellow and melon-like. The top aroma is mellow and melon-like, with a fruity aroma that can be smelled even from a few dozen centimeters away. The aroma is different from that of our beloved sake rice, Aizan. The mellow melon-like aroma, pleasant acidity and umami spread further in the mouth! I can't get enough of it! When it is swallowed down the throat, it has a clear, clear texture and a fruity sweetness that is softly fragrant. It's too good! Jikin is still different in its level of perfection. I would like to spend a luxurious time while soaking in the pleasant afterglow and relaxing.

This time it is Soyogi, a local sake from Shizuoka Prefecture. I bought a bottle of Shizuoka Prefecture's local sake at a local specialty show! The alcohol content is 18%, which is high since it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. The sake rice is Homare Fuji from Shizuoka Prefecture, which is a first for me, so I was very excited! Now, open the bottle. The initial aroma is not that strong, but it is soft and fruity. The aroma of rice is very strong. The aroma of rice is different from that of Umeichirin, a local sake from Chiba, which I drank before. It is lighter in the mouth than expected! It is so light that it is hard to believe that it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is quite light, and you can feel the deliciousness of the rice. This is my first time drinking Homare Fuji, but it is really easy to drink. When you swallow it down the back of your throat, it feels a little dry, but it goes down smoothly. Very good! I'm drinking it cold this time, but it's definitely good hot. Next time, I would like to try it hot.

Released today! It's Akabu Aizan! I've had the fire-brewed Aizan before, but this is my first time drinking a draft, so I'm looking forward to it! I've already drank 2 goules, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but the top aroma is sweet and sour with a hint of Aizan. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the carbonic acidity and the sweet and sour taste unique to Aizan, which is unique to nama-shu. When you drink it, the freshness and the sweet and sour lingering taste of Aizan spread to the back of your throat. After all, Aizan is the best. I usually drink only 1 gou of Aizan, but I would drink 2 gou of this. Thank you Aizan! I can't say much more. It's just delicious!

This time it's Mimuro-Sugi, another sake from Nara Prefecture's Imanishi Sake Brewery! I am so impressed with Imanishi Sake Brewery that when I think of Nara Prefecture, I think of Imanishi Sake Brewery. The last time I drank Harushika, it was delicious! I have known the name of this sake for a long time, but I never had a chance to buy it, so I decided to buy it. It is 100% Yamadanishiki, so my expectations were high! Well, opening the bottle...ah, this has a nice aroma. Sake that is good from the first aroma is also good when drunk. When you take a sip, the clear, gentle sweetness and umami spread through your mouth! When you swallow it, a sharp acidity spreads and disappears quickly. The taste is very elegant. The alcohol content of 15% may be one of the reasons why it feels so light on the palate. Goes well with slightly darker chicken! I feel it is similar to AKABU from Iwate. It probably goes well with fish as well. It seems to go well with simmered fish. Thank you for another great sake!

I have been curious about this sake for a long time. It is a famous sake made by the Kuroryu Sake Brewery in Fukui Prefecture. Even the name is cool! It's a premium sake that you can't find very often. Looking back on my sake consumption, I don't remember drinking much ginjo-shu. So, with high expectations, I opened the bottle! The initial aroma was... oh, so fruity! Unlike junmai sake, it has a slightly sharp fruity aroma. It has a sweet aroma characteristic of Yamadanishiki. In the mouth, the refined watery fruity aroma is quickly followed by the spicy and alcoholic aroma characteristic of daiginjos. Very easy to drink! Unlike junmai sake, you do not feel any cloying taste at all. The clear and delicious taste spreads in the mouth. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it goes down smoothly, with a pleasant taste and a refined spiciness. Yum, yum! The more you take the first sip and then the second, the more the deliciousness seems to be enhanced. The more you sip and sip, the more the flavor becomes more pronounced. Sake is really a profoundly deep cuisine, and even if the same variety of rice is used, the taste can vary so much depending on how it is brewed. Thanks again for the delicious sake we had today!

A sake with a name befitting the New Year, Izumo Fuji it is! It is a Junmai Ginjo made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shimane Prefecture, which is said to be Shimane Prefecture's sake. Shimane Prefecture is probably best known for Izumo-taisha Shrine. Soba (buckwheat noodles) are also delicious. So we opened the bottle! The initial aroma is sweet and fruity, as if it were Yamada-Nishiki, but not so strong and soft. In the mouth, the delicious sweetness of the rice spreads, as if it were Yamada-Nishiki. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it spreads a slightly strong acidity! But this acidity has a very pleasant aftertaste. There is also a slight spiciness that comes after the acidity, and it finishes pleasantly. It is a different Yamada-Nishiki from the famous Otters from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The production area of the rice also has an influence on the taste of the sake. Sake is so deep! Next time, I would like to try it hot.

Finally, I could drink it. It's Nara Prefecture's sake, Kaze no Mori! I had seen this series many times, but never had a chance to buy it. I remember that the Harushika I drank the other day was also delicious. Especially when it was warmed up to lukewarm, it brought out the best flavor! Now, this time, Kaze no Mori is a sake made from dewy leaf wind, a sake rice grown only in Nara Prefecture. I am excited to drink it for the first time. The description on the back of the label says it has a unique sourness and astringency, so I'm excited to see what it has to offer! Now, open the bottle. A pleasant "pop! The sound is pleasant. The bottle opener is a bit of a surprise, as the bottle may pop when opened. The top aroma is not so strong, and is only slightly noticeable. When it is poured into a sake cup, you can see a slight carbonation of bubbles. When I put it in my mouth with high expectations, I was surprised to find a mild umami and sourness at first! After that, an astringent taste penetrates to the back of the throat. The freshness characteristic of nama-shu spreads in the mouth. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it leaves a good sharpness and a beautiful lingering taste, which is unique to the dewy leaf style. This is a flavor not found in Yamadanishiki or Aizan. Kaze no Mori has many different series, so I definitely wanted to check out their other flavors! Especially the Aizan!

Harushika純米吟醸

Imanishiseibee Shoten Nara

12/27/2022, 11:52:41 AM

あんかけ

This sake is made by Imanishi Seibei Shoten in Nara. It is said to be a sealed sake, something that only selected breweries can produce! The label is cool and sparkling! The name comes from the fact that the gods came to Kasuga-taisha Shrine in Nara riding on a deer. Incidentally, there is a sake called "Aki-shika" in Osaka, which was named after the first generation of the family, using one character from the harvest season of autumn. There is no direct connection between the two. Well, I digress, but I got a bottle of Harushika! After opening the bottle, the first aroma is slightly fruity. It has an elegant sweetness. The aroma is not that strong, but rather faint. In the mouth, a soft sweetness and a slightly strong acidity spread. After that, you can feel the delicious taste of rice spreading. This is delicious! The slightly strong acidity flows down the back of the throat nicely. Well, it is indeed sealed! The rice polishing ratio is 55, but the taste is so good that it gives the illusion of being a junmai daiginjo. This is fantastic! And at a reasonable price of about 1,700 yen, it's a good value! Harushika will probably be the last one this year. All's well that ends well! Thank you for the delicious sake!

Sake I know the name of but have never drunk before. Yes, it is Shichiken. What does it taste like? I bought it out of curiosity and drank it. Well, the first aroma is a sweet and gorgeous fruit aroma that spreads softly. This is what a tenkoshu aroma is like! It has a sweetness like Yamadanishiki or Miyamanishiki. It is said to be best served cold, so we served it cold. When it is poured into the mouth, it is very refreshing. There is not much acidity, and the refreshing sweetness makes it easy to drink. It tastes just like water. This is the taste of the gooseberry! When it is poured down the back of the throat, it has a nice sharp taste with a moderate aftertaste, which makes you want to drink it again. This time I paired it with yudofu (tofu), and it also goes well with it! So, the taste of "Ten Go Go" is not a joke. There are many varieties of Shichiken, so I thought I would buy it again if I find a name that interests me. Thank you for the delicious sake.

It has a wonderful name, Hana-Soami. It is a sake made by Daichi Sake Brewery in Oita Prefecture. The label is very nice. It depicts a camellia. The rice used for the sake is Yamadanishiki and Miyamanishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 80%, which means that the sake is brewed with a full emphasis on the deliciousness of the rice. The aroma is slightly fruity, but it is not overpowering and refreshing. The color is slightly yellow and shiny. In the mouth, the fruity flavor is slowly absorbed, while the umami and miscellaneous tastes are mixed together to create a richness that is unique to junmai. The fruity taste is a combination of Yamadanishiki and Miyamanishiki. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it is moderately sharp with a hint of sourness. The lingering aftertaste is modest and makes you want to drink it again. This time I enjoyed it cold, so next time I would like to try it hot.

This sake is brewed with 100% Kinmon-Nishiki sake rice from Kijimadaira Village, Nagano Prefecture, which I have been interested in for some time. The sake from Nagano Prefecture reminds me of "Uchiyama-no-shizuku," a freshly stored sake in snow that I drank before. It was delicious. This time, I was looking forward to seeing how it would taste like as it was hiyaoroshi. So we opened the bottle! The top aroma is not so strong, but it has a fresh aroma with an elegant sweetness. It is sweet and sour with a hint of sourness. When you put it in your mouth, a soft sweetness spreads in your mouth first, followed by a mild sourness and astringency. This is Kinmon-nishiki! After swallowing it down the back of the throat, a moderate pungency and acidity lingers in the aftertaste. It seems to go well with lightly seasoned meals. Oh, it's so good! I can drink it so easily! This time we drank it cold, but it is also delicious lukewarm. Next time, I would like to try it lukewarm. I think it probably tastes better lukewarm.

Today we have that long-awaited sake, yes, Jikin! It is a junmai ginjo brewed with my favorite sake rice, Aizan. In fact, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it would not be wrong to call it a Junmai Daiginjo, would it? This is the fourth sake brewed with Aizan, following Akabe, Hitakami, and Ona. So far it's all good! Now, now that we have the Jikin, let's open the bottle with a full Samurai. The sturdy stopper was sealed tightly, but I twisted it open with a lot of force. The top aroma is not that strong, but the dignified sweet and sourness peculiar to Aizan spreads comfortably in the back of the nose. I can't wait to drink it! I can't wait to drink it! The color is clear with a hint of lees. The back of the bottle says that this is because it is not filtered. I can feel the care that went into the bottle. When I took a sip of the long-awaited Jikin, I found it to be... delicious. I have had several sake brewed by Aizan, but this is the most refreshing among them, with a crisp sweet and sour taste that spreads easily in the mouth. The taste is refreshing, with a slight bitterness lingering in the throat, and a dignified, careful taste spreads to the back of the throat. It's really delicious...I found myself drinking two gou of it! Thank you for the delicious sake!

It is a local Kujukuri sake made from 100% rice grown in Kujukuri, Chiba! My uncle is very fond of Ume Ichiwa, and I wanted to try it, so I looked around in my hometown and finally found it. Now, open the bottle! The first aroma is a gentle, mellow aroma of rice. This is the aroma of rice produced in Kujukuri! The color of the sake is slightly yellow. This time, it will be served cold! When you put it in your mouth, the rich rice flavor spreads. Then, when you swallow it, it goes down your throat quickly and refreshingly. The rice flavor quickly fades away in a short, lingering sip. The lingering taste and the freshness of the throat is so addictive that it makes you want the next sip. Today it was served with meat, but I would like to taste it again with white meat fish.

Today I went to Mt. Takao with pay! And while climbing the mountain, I bought a bottle of Takao Hiyadoroshi, which is only available this time of year. I'm actually excited because this is the first time I've had Hiyaoroshi! The aroma is a light, slightly fragrant aroma. There is no corner to the smell, and I wonder if this is the unique aroma of hiyaoroshi? In the mouth, a fresh flavor with a mild, gentle sweetness and a hint of bitterness coexists. Like the smell, the flavor has no corners, and it is easy to drink. This is the flavor of hiyaoroshi! It was so easy to drink that a whole bottle was gone before I knew it. I heard that this sake can be enjoyed lukewarm, so I think I will try lukewarm next time. Climbing Mt. Takao and quenching my thirst with Mt. Takao while soaking up the memories of Mt. In other words, it was a day that was all about Mt.
