Kawatsuru Sake Brewery Provenance: Kawatsuru Sake Brewery, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan Classification: Sake, Junmai Daiginjo Ingredients: Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 50%. Degree of alcohol content: 16 About 3,500 yen for 720ml How to drink: Cold, served with cold yellowtail sashimi After a refreshing taste, its fresh and mellow aroma spreads on the palate. After opening the bottle, the aroma takes over and can be enjoyed for several days. Overall impression - A Full and fruity, not too much alcohol. I felt that the food compatibility was great.... It is more like a white wine than a sake.

The impression that it cannot be said to be Japanese sake. alc 6%, about 2,000 yen 720ml, about 2000 yen Pairing Homemade chicken bone-in chicken from Sanuki Chicken in Kagawa Kagawa Prefecture has many delicious chicken dishes such as boned and grilled chicken. This sake was created with the aim of matching it with such dishes. This sake is made with white koji malt, which is full of citric acid and three times more acidic than regular sake, aiming for a sweet and sour taste. Kenchi Tachibana of EXILE also recommended this sake, and it has been nominated in various books as a sake that should be drunk. Anyway, it is too sweet and sour. It is too sweet and sour and too delicious. Yes, it is calpis. Everyone has drunk Calpis before. It is like the undiluted lemon calpis sold in bottles. I would like you to try it with something spicy. Overall impression - Impossible Too difficult to judge as a sake. As a sake, then. Overall Rating ~ S+ This is just delicious. If you are going to drink some weird chu-hi, you might as well drink this. Even non-drinkers should be able to drink it. I recommend drinking it as a sake, not as a sake.

Akashi Tai Special Junmai Sake Where to buy Akashi Sake Brewery 720 ml, approx. 2000 yen Rice polishing ratio 60 alc. 15 degrees Celsius Pairing: Tajima beef steak Excellent...! This is another bottle we bought at the brewery. It is a GI Harima certified sake that meets the strict standards recognized by the government of Hyogo Prefecture. The aroma is elegant and it is like The good sake that goes down quickly. The taste is good...at first you can taste pear and other fruits, but as it rolls around on your tongue, you can really taste the umami of the rice. It is like a versatile sake. Quick general comment Overall Review ~ S A gem that allows you to enjoy the fruity taste and the umami of the rice. No wonder it has won so many awards. However, I wonder why the name is so unheard of...(I can guess why...)

Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 38 Alcohol content 16 Capacity 720ml Degree of sweetness/spiciness: Sweet/Hot/Hard How to drink: Cold or room temperature (7-15℃) 720ml, approx. 4,500 yen Matching dish: Beef shank stewed in spicy Japanese style Bought at a brewery in Akashi. A sake that has won various awards. There are many, so check it out yourself! The aroma is fresh and elegant sake aroma. And what is worth mentioning is the taste. You can taste the sweetness of apples and white peaches and the refreshing acidity of pears. Very fresh and fruity. The aftertaste disappears quickly. A refined, fresh, and lush sake. I would like to give my personal impression, so here is my general comment. Overall review ~ S~. If you like sweet, fresh, fruity and refreshing sake, you should try this. I don't want to say "this one", I want you to drink Akashitai. It is a gem that should be enjoyed not only by drinking, but also by rolling it around on the tongue like a wine. It is one of my top five favorite sake. If you like sweet Akashi-tai, please drink it.

alc 16 degrees Where to buy Nagaura Station AEON (Chiba Sodegaura) Mixed with Turnip Steak with Anchovy Butter Sauce The aroma has a caramel-like smell that lingers in the nose, and you can smell quite a bit of alcohol. However, the taste is just rich. When drunk chilled at first (at refrigerator temperature of 5-8℃), it does not smell of alcohol. The taste was very sour at first. (Before getting drunk) I got the impression of tannins from grape skins, and felt an astringent sourness like red wine. However, the aftertaste was delicious (like the good parts of red wine), and the berry-like sourness was gone, and the aftertaste was refreshingly gone. And there is no aftertaste of alcohol. It is honestly delicious. I want to talk about it in a general review because I am also drunk. Overall Rating ~ A+ ~ S I would give it an S, but my evaluation criteria are that it is easy to drink even for those who do not like sake, and that it is easy to match with food. I am rating it from the point of view that it is easy to drink even for those who do not like sake, and that it is easy to match with food. Personally, I underestimated the Kanto region (Tokyo, Chiba, etc.). It's just plain awesome. I regret that I have lived in Chiba and Tokyo for so long and never encountered it. Delicious. Not for everyone, but if you can afford it, drink it. Characters

When it gets lukewarm, you can smell the alcohol, but the umami and the flavor that lingers on the tongue should be habit-forming for some people. If you can afford it, buy it cheap. I think there are a lot of people, especially in the Kanto region, who would like you to try it. If you have any comments or suggestions after drinking it, please let me know.

Akashi Taihai Unfiltered Honjozo Nama Sake Akashi Sake Brewery Co. alc. 19 degrees, rice polishing ratio 70%. 720ml, about 2000 yen (I think it was about...) Pairing: Bonito Tataki Sake limited to the Visitor Center. Maybe there is an official mail order...? Well... all I can say is that it tastes good anyway. Is it true that it has a high alcohol content...? Is this...? It's so refreshing! It has a smooth and soft sweetness. It is easy to drink, like milk. It tastes great chilled or slightly lukewarm. The alcohol taste is felt because it is a pure sake, but it tastes even better than that. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case. The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case, but there is a slight berry-like sweetness.... The aftertaste is also refreshing, and the alcohol content is high, but it goes down well. It is very easy to enjoy. I think this is one of those drinks that even people who don't like alcohol can enjoy. I want to praise it a lot, but... General Comment ~ S~. Delicious, but I personally prefer the Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjo. Akashi-tai itself should be enjoyed by everyone. It's not a habit, it's refreshing, sweet and sour, but I would recommend it to everyone. Akashi-tai should be advertised more to raise its name recognition. Drink it!

Also, it was hard to get hungover. I could open a bottle and go to sleep for 4 hours. In a way, it's a dangerous drink.

Akashitai Unfiltered Junmai Nama-shu Akashi Sake Brewery Co. Rice polishing ratio 70%. alc. 17 degrees 720ml 3000yen (I think it was around ......) Matching homemade smoked pork belly and garlic cheese Sake bought at Akashi Sake Brewery. Maybe seasonal, limited sales route...? It is sweet, sake-like and delicious. It has a full-bodied, umami flavor. The aroma smells a little like alcohol. The aftertaste is very sake-like and alcoholic. Food is difficult to find 🤔. Personally, I think it's for sake lovers to drink sake slowly. Rating ~ B Tasty. Delicious, but personally I found it difficult because I want to match it with food.... I'd give it a B, but that's a bit harsh since it's limited. If you look at the taste alone, it's an A...

CUNARD Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Price : Almost impossible to buy only this product, ask yen Rice polishing ratio 60% alc : 17 This sake was jointly developed by Akashi Sake Brewery of Akashi sea bream and CUNARD of luxury liner. This sake was jointly developed by Akashi Sake Brewery of Akashi sea bream and CUNARD of luxury liner. It is mainly handled by CUNARD, and is served on the Queen Elizabeth. It is sometimes sold (on a limited basis) at the Akashi Brewery. Anyway, sake that fully expresses the flavor of rice. The sweetness is reminiscent of Yubari melon and lingers in the mouth. Sake-like flavor... This is one that appeals to people overseas Sake is delicious! Overall impression (as a sake) - A In terms of taste, it is sweet and tasty, but very close to a dessert wine. The evaluation as a sake is different. However, I also like wine, so if I were to rate it as a sake, I would say that it is a very good one. Overall Review ~ S I would recommend this to Europeans, and I can see why they drink it. It's still available in quantity now, so you should definitely try it. You will see an interesting world. As a side note, Akashi Brewery also has a whisky brewery overseas (sister company), and their gin and whisky are also of high quality.

Purchased at a roadside station in Aikawa-ura, Soma, Fukushima. Sake rice: Yumenokou alc. 16%, rice polishing ratio 50 Price (tax included): 720ml 4,950 yen Sales period: December through August only Accompanied by: Miso-glazed anglerfish Refreshing and alcoholic, but with a moderate aftertaste. It has more acidity than sweetness, which is typical of sake from the Tohoku region. Overall rating - B Tasty, but would I pay that price for it? I don't think so. But depending on what you eat, it could be a good match. If you try it with meat, your rating might change.

Sake Brewer: Kuroryu Shuzo Co. 720ml, approx. 3,500 yen Type Daiginjo Ingredients: Rice, rice malt, brewing alcohol Raw material rice: Gohyakuman produced in Fukui Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 Accompanied by yellowtail sashimi It has been a long time since I posted this. I've been drinking a lot of sake. It is just delicious. The aroma is full and the taste is fresh and sweet. It's just delicious. My personal favorite Kuroryu Shuzo is a brewery that drives people crazy. I went to many liquor stores in Fukui. They mentioned Kuroryu Sake Brewery as the reason why they became a sake shop. I can see why. I drank a lot of sake from the Kuroryu Sake Brewery, and I recommend it in many ways. There are many sake brewed only in Fukui. General Comment ~ S~. I had it with sashimi, but it would have been better with grilled chicken with salt. I would like to try many pairings with this sake.

Nokomi JOKER Brewer : Baba Sake Brewery Ltd. 1365 Mikawachi Oaza Mikawachi Otsu, Kashima City, Saga Prefecture Pairing : Japanese gratin with yam and cod roe General Comment Sake from around Saga, which has been growing a lot lately. All the sake are undisclosed. They want people to enjoy sake instead of drinking sake information. Sake with the hope that everyone will enjoy the sake by keeping the information private. The taste is only that it is very delicious ... Any more than that, you need to drink it and see. Rating ~ S~. A ridiculously very interesting experiment and very tasty. Everything works so well. It's too good not to drink.

Dry Junmai Sake Chitotsuru Name Sake Seller Camel Coffee Co. Manufacturer Japan Seishu Co. Content 750ml Alc. 15 Junmai sake, rice polishing ratio 70%. Sake rice Ginpu Pairing: Tuna medium fatty tuna (wasabi and soy sauce), fried hormone (senmai) with vegetables This sake was developed and released by KALDI. I'll say it first, it's delicious. It was made to go well with zangi, but that's just the motif, It goes well with strong flavors. I wonder if this is really made by a coffee maker...? I doubt that it is really made by a coffee maker. Speaking of KALDI, they have a very strict selection criteria for their products, such as Camel Winery of Hokkaidou and Inedit beer, which are generally high quality and delicious. I digress a bit, but the aroma is not that strong, but it is like sake, and when it hits you with a bang, it quickly disappears. When it disappears, you can really feel the smoothness. The smoothness you feel on the back of your tongue and teeth.... Very tasty.... This has reached a level that coffee importers should not be allowed to make. Overall review - A to Close to S as far as possible. The price and the lack of places to get it are the bottleneck, but it is extremely worth drinking.

Spring Limited Special Junmai Asakai Location : Iwate, Japan Alcohol content: 14%. Rice used : Domestic rice Rice polishing ratio : 55 Formulation : Special junmai sake Reference price including tax : 720ml approx. 1700 yen How to drink : Cold Pairing : Fried dolphin Spring limited edition sake. The acidity and sweetness are well balanced. It is delicious like sweet and sour strawberries. It is light at first, but has a good impact of rice flavor. It is the type of sake to be drunk in small sips. I think it can be paired with anything. I think you can enjoy it only with sake. Overall rating - A Close to an S as far as I'm concerned, but I don't think I'll buy it again and again... I think it could be a little more personal and sharp in some way.

Sake Name : Junmai Ginjo Karanekosama Sakura (2025) Brewer : Hananomai Shuzo Rice polishing ratio : 60 Alc.: 14.5 degrees Celsius Sake rice : 100% Shizuoka rice (Hana-no-Mai Sake Brewery insists on Shizuoka-grown rice) 500 yen per 180ml Pairing : Cold Shabu Ume Sashimi, Kibina Sashimi Purchase at KALDI KALDI's product for Cat's Day The kitten cups are stylish and the glasses are cute. The aroma is light, but it has a hint of rice. The aroma is a little more refreshing than floral. There is little lingering aroma after putting it in the mouth, and the feeling of it disappearing quickly is like cherry blossoms falling.... Once on the tongue, the sweetness is felt and the umami comes and finally the sourness disappears. It is overwhelmingly easy to drink and delicious. I want to try sake! Highly recommended for those who can't handle strong tasting sake. It is light, but you can enjoy the sake and it goes down your throat nicely. General Comment ~ S~. This is by far the most versatile sake. Good to have on hand in case of emergencies. Side note KALDI sells this sake every year, but the bottle changes every year. Cat lovers, how about getting a bottle too?

Ginjiro - Sake from the storehouse Sake Brewer : Meijo Shuzo Co. Alcoholic strength: 13-14 degrees Polishing ratio: not disclosed? price : 300ml, about 400yen Pairing : Salad of pea and egg with yuzu pepper The aroma is not particularly strong, but has a light and refreshing scent. The taste is sweet and refreshing, with a short aftertaste, very fresh and delicious. It doesn't interfere with the food, but has a good flavor... Personal Evaluation A I thought it could be an "S", but the alcohol taste was surprisingly apparent. It's definitely tasty and not a disappointment, but if you have a chance to drink it, do it. I think everyone will appreciate it to some extent, but I don't think it's one of the best for everyone.... But if this is an option, drinking it is really possible.

Daiginjo Hitoyomi Sake Brewer : Meijo Shuzo Co. Alc. : 15-16 degrees Polishing ratio : 50 Pairing : Yunbai Meat (strong Hakkaku) Price: 720ml, approx. 2000 yen The aroma is a little light...? It is dry and cuts into you quickly at first. After that, the umami comes out slowly, and bitterness is felt at the end. I think it goes well with cool spices (octagonal, five-spice powder, etc.). I think they go well together. Chinese food has a great taste, but I don't think it goes well with food where you can savor the ingredients. By itself, it leaves a long, lingering, bitter taste in the mouth. Personal Evaluation B It has a long aftertaste and a strong alcohol taste, so I don't think it's an everyday wine, but it's a good summer freshly grated wine, so it's not a bad choice.

Sake Brewer : Meijo Shuzo Place of Origin : Toyofuji-cho, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture Content : 300ml Price : about 450 yen Rice polishing ratio: 73% Alcohol percentage: 13 Pairing : Stir-fried komatsuna and thick fried tofu with aged soybean paste (hot and thick) The aroma is crisp but gorgeous. It has a slightly long bitter taste that is heavy at first and lingers on the palate. It is a small sip, but if you drink it heavily, it is bitter and you may not like it... As soon as it hits your tongue, you feel a little bit of sweetness and a thin lingering bitterness... If you like sake that is crisp and has a short aftertaste... You may not like it... If you want to match it with food, I feel that you have to fight it with tempura and other dishes with strong flavors such as salt or boiled vegetables... If the food is light in flavor... I think this sake might make it hard to taste the food... Personally, I feel it's like shochu (it's a freshly stored sake)... On the other hand, people who enjoy the richness of sweetpotato shochu might enjoy it... Personally, I prefer a refreshing type... Overall rating C (S-D)

The taste is sharp and full-bodied. The aftertaste is quite lingering, so it may be a bit too much for some people... However, it goes well with strong flavored food (boiled vegetables, etc.). It is also good with salty food... With light foods such as sashimi... It may be difficult to distinguish the delicate taste... Personal Evaluation B Delicious, but the food is the problem... Wagyu beef steak with a good marbling and oiliness, with salt or wasabi, it might be quite enjoyable with each other...
