Travels in Sogape The Third Trois This was my #1 Trois when I drank the new wine right away last year! How about after a little over 6 months of aging 🤔? Miyamanishiki 59% polished, 16% alcohol The aroma is subdued. It has a lactic acid aroma of a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. It also has a matured aroma. Good balance of sweetness and sourness in the mouth: ❗️ Instead of freshness, it has a roundness, maybe because it has been aged for half a year. I also feel a slight spiciness. I think I still like this one 😊. The journey continues!

Travels in Sogape Part 2 is do. Nagano Miyamanishiki 59% polished, 14% alcohol. Oh, the alcohol is a little low 😲. Pop the cork and pour into a glass. When you pour it into the glass, it has a beautiful lemon yellow color. Almost no ginjo aroma, more of a sake yeast yeast aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will be overwhelmed with a strong sense of maturity and dark sweetness, just like Numeroan. It is easier to understand the difference of the brewing process right after you buy it because of its strong impression😅. Compared to the Numeroin, it has more acidity than the Numeroin, and I think I prefer this one. I enjoyed it with hairy crab 🦀 today, I tried Sogape as a shell wine at the end... The sweetness of the crab miso and the sweetness of the matured sogapé become one, and the fragrance of the roasted crab shell adds an indescribable taste! ❗️ This is not sake anymore, but crab miso soup 😆. I just realized it! Sogape is also good warmed up!

Good evening, ymdaz 🌙. Sogape and hairy crabs are the best 😍I would love to drink it in its shell: ❣️ I tried drinking it lukewarm, but the acidity became too strong and it tasted better as it was. I wonder if it would have tasted better if it was hotter?

Japanese>English

Good morning, Pon 😃. I see it's sour when it's lukewarm 🥹. I read that the Koura sake is heated until it boils, so it might have been over heated by a long shot -> it was already a soup with great flavor 🤣.

Hi, Tsubu-chan 😃 I've just had the sogape because it's so good on its own, I was curious to see what would happen if I gave it a twist 🎵. Sogape, it's a very nostalgic drink that tastes great at any temperature 😉.

10/1 is Sake Day Sogape that I bought in winter After a little more than half a year of patience, we will open them one by one from today. ‼️ The first one is Numeroen (No.1 yeast). Miyamanishiki 59% polished, 16% alc. Familiar specs! The brewer said that after 6/1, it could become a SAKE with super maniac aroma and taste, how it grows 🤔. Twist the cork and open the bottle with a pop! The aroma is... super dense ‼️😳 It has a rich, mature aroma! No ginjo aroma, but a full-bodied honey-like aroma. Sogape has a characteristic acidity and is often likened to a white wine, but it looks very different with aging! Reminiscent of an oaked Chardonnay, not a fresh young white wine It has a solid sweetness, and a heavy and complex taste of sake yeast. This is certainly a bad one. I'm looking forward to comparing the two 😊.

Next up is Gakky's Okiyo Yoshi Honten's Natural Township. They happened to have Enryu Junmai and BIO, and I asked the clerk what the difference was. I asked the waiter what the difference was, I asked the waiter if he knew the difference between the two, and he said, "Neither of them are open, so let's compare. My favorite was this BIO! Fukushima Yumeko 60% polished, 15% alcohol The muscat-like ginjo aroma, reminiscent of Gakkie, is more pronounced in this one! It has a good balance of sweetness and a good freshness, with a lactic acidity due to the sake's sake-like acidity. I enjoyed it until the end 😊.

I've had a draft sake before, but this is a fire-brewed sake! When I drank it... Wow 🫢. It's sweet and juicy, This is the sweetest and thickest ❗️ Maybe because it's less sour piquancy🤔.

Yamagata yeast, Sake degree -5, sweet taste Eikoufuji has a sweet juicy image, but I think this is the first time I've tasted this brand! I tried it and it was still sweet and juicy 🤣. Definitely ‼️ The aroma is tropical and chili-like And I thought... As I thought, Sono Kangiku and Eikoufuji are similar... Both are delicious!

All-you-can-drink, next, Mansaku no Hana (long time no see)! I was attracted by the limited bottle label! Made with 70% polished Akita Gin no Sei and Akita Sake Komachi, 16% alcohol by volume! The first tank was opened last December, so it is an 8-month aged hiyaoroshi! The aroma is beautiful and the ginjo aroma is soft and clean, even though it was about half of a bottle of junmai! Melon or green apple aroma. It has a nice aroma, and although it is supposed to be rather dry with a sake strength of +3.5, it doesn't seem spicy at all! It has a crisp and clean taste, which makes you realize that it is dry. It's a very nice sake.

I'm drinking out ❗️ I went to "No Ie" which was on the East Carre They have a fridge with a lot of sake in it, and you can drink as much as you want by pouring it into a glass by yourself! (I forgot to take a picture 😅) It's not a premium rare sake, but it's a nice selection, so I want to drink this and that 😋. First up was this one that was supposed to be recently released! Yamagata Prefecture Yamashu No. 4 50% polished, 15% alcohol by volume The aroma is tropical. The mouthfeel is sweet and juicy. The chili-like acidity invites you to try the next one. It's still delicious. ❗️

July-September: I didn't post much because it was hot, I was drinking 🍺 & I was busy at work. I almost finished a project involving Kochi Prefecture, so I bought this for a one-man launch party! Junmai Daiginjo nigori! Gin no Yume or Yamadanishiki 50% polished, 15% alcohol! The sound when the bottle is opened is a mf spontaneous 🎵. Silky nigori when poured into a glass Milky, lactic sweet aroma on the nose 😍. If I were to use fruit, I would say melon🍈 type. It's a bit unusual aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will be amazed 😲 ‼️ What a soft and tender mouthfeel 😲. The acidity is mild, and the main flavors are sweetness and umami, but it's not what you'd call sweet and juicy. This is pretty good ❗️ I'd like to enjoy the change in flavor by leaving it in the bottle 😉.

Since it was lunchtime drinking, we decided to drink 1.5 gos of sake, and here is the last drink! 50% polished Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume Less than 1/4 of a 1.5gou bottle The flow is not so good today 😅 Aroma is modest for a ginjo The sweetness is the same as that of tanshidorari. But the thickness of umami is different. It is more complex and has a stronger taste. ‼️ This one may be more like nama-zake. It was gone in no time with the wonderful sashimi that arrived safely. It was gone in no time 🤣. Thanks for the food: ‼️

The second drink is from Jyushiyo: ‼️ 50% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume The top-tasting aroma is the scent of Jyushidai ❤️ This aroma alone gives a sense of happiness ♫ The balance of sweetness and acidity is still superb! It was near the end of the first bottle, so the freshness typical of tsuzumedorari was withdrawn, but Jyushidai is still delicious after a long time. As for the food, we ordered the sashimi set, but a magnificent grilled fish appeared! How is this❓🫢? I wondered how this was ❓🫢 and proceeded onward!

Reward yourself with a drink out for lunch after the dentist's appointment. What's today's Shinsei? I asked him, "Type A and Sato Ubei. I think I've had a fair amount of Shinsei, but this was my first time drinking this one! Akita Sake Komachi 25% polished, 15% alcohol! Very polished for a Shinsei 😳. Even half of Daiginjo class ❗️ Almost no ginjo aroma for such a sake! When you drink it, the acidity is amazing ‼️ Thick acidity that is typical of a sake brewed in a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. And the aroma of the wooden vat is also very strong: ❗️ The bitterness and astringency are also strong. Maybe because of the high alcohol content, the taste is not light like Shinmasa, but has a unique and profound flavor. A bit like Yamahai? I usually drink Shinsei as the first drink, but this one was drunk in the wrong order 😅. However, it's the best match with salted squid served with rice: ❗️ If it was No.6 or something, it would have been defeated by the salted squid. The world of Shinsei has expanded again! It's fun again 😊.

Rectangular Cool Takkyubin I wondered what it was, but it was a sympathy return from my brother. When I opened it, this bottle appeared I thought, "I don't know this brand," but upon closer inspection, I found this Nanyo Brewery😲. I only knew Hana-Yuyo, but I didn't know they also made this! 60% polished Gohyakumangoku, 15-16% alcohol by volume The top-tasting aroma is apple-like with a touch of lactic acidity. Mild, but it's not a ginjo, so I guess that's about it 🤔. When I drank it, I thought, oh, this is dry ❗️ The vector is very different from the sweet umami of Hanayuyo 😳. It has a Junmai-like umami on top, with an impression of sweetness in the back. When the temperature goes up, there's a bit of a twangy alcohol feeling. There is a slight bitterness at the end, and after drinking it, you will be left with a lingering aftertaste of umami and spiciness. Maybe this one is better suited to be heated up. I'll try again tomorrow 😉.

When you hear about the new Red Tomb, you can't help but buy it 😤. I rushed to the liquor store and bought it! I'll open it right away: ❗️ 50% polished domestic rice, 13% alcohol by volume The sound when the bottle is opened is a long mf tone of boujiou ♫ It's a little late in the fall, but it's still quite healthy 😃. The top-tasting aroma is a good fruity ginjo aroma. After the first moment of muscat, the aroma is between apple and melon 🍎. On the palate, it is round and gentle🙆. The strong sweetness and flashy aroma are withdrawn, the corners are removed, and the taste is well harmonized with the umami. I guess you could say it has a lot of flavor. The balance of acidity and bitterness is just the way I like it. It's nice to taste the season with sake made after the fall season, isn't it? The new Akabu is delicious! (If you missed it at this time, they are going to re-sell it, so please give it a try.)

I was impressed by the taste of this drink when I drank it outside before, abe I happened to find a liquor store that carried it 💡. I bought a challenge sake. I looked it up at home and it looks pretty interesting! 4mmp ginjo aroma sake brewed with an edible rice called Shunyo, a low glutelin rice that has less easily digestible protein (glutelin) that is easily absorbed by the body. Its nigori sparkling 🍾. Exciting even before opening! The alcohol is low at 12 degrees Celsius. Chill it in the freezer and open the bottle: ❗️ The bottle is a 500ml crown, so it is opened with a corkscrew. Inside the glass is, of course, bubbles. The aroma is, hmmm? What is this? It's a little bit sharp and different from fruit aroma (I'm not a fan of it 😅). But when you put it in your mouth, you get a totally different impression, a nice muscat aroma: ❗️ At the same time, it has a strong bitterness like beer hops. So it also has a strong impression of grapefruit, young grass and green 🤔. The taste is quite dry and dry, far from sake-like sweetness. I agree that it's a challenge sake because it's positioned close to a dry white wine 😉. It was somewhat dry commented a lot, but I drank it with fried scallops and shrimps and the rest was 50ml ❗️ The point is that it was delicious 😅.

Hot weather and busy work schedule have slowed down the pace of sake 😅. Sake pace has slowed down😅 Today is a three-day weekend, so I'll drink sake! Tsuruchu pandemic going around at Sake no Wa. I got the Nadazo vaccine once at a tasting, but let's get a full-fledged infection at my stubborn table: ❗️ I got 20% back from PayPay's regional campaign, but when I bought it home and compared it to the brewery's website at home, the price seems about 10% higher... 😓... I wonder if they raised the price... I'm a little bummed because the store usually charges the regular price. Well, let's get back on track and have a drink! 55% polished Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture, 16% alcohol by volume When the aluminum cap is twisted tight, the opening sound is silent. Pouring it into a glass, the top aroma is pineapple🍍‼️ The gap between this classic label and the bottle is unbearable 🤣. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the sweetness & a little tangy acidity❗️ It's THE pineapple 🍍! It has a beautiful taste that is hard to believe it's jungin 😁. The last taste has bitterness and a little spiciness. It finishes without being heavy. Less spicy than Sono Shangiku More beautiful than Eikoufuji More refreshing than Takachiyo I'm totally infected with sweet pineapple 😆.

I climbed a summer mountain in Yatsugatake (pic.4) So I opened a bottle of Nagano sake! Mikotsuru from Suwa, not far from Yatsugatake. ❗️ This is actually the first Mikotsuru I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. I started with a limited edition active nigori sake 😅. 50% polished Yamae-Nishiki, 16% alcohol by volume. I heard that all Mikotsuru's are made with Nagano C (Alps) yeast. I think Dawn Mae uses alps yeast 🤔. According to the brewer's website, "Instead of the blasting activity that has been the mainstream in recent years, we aimed to harmonize the moderate bubbles you feel on your tongue with the sweetness, clear flavor, and acidity of Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki, and made it slightly carbonated. The tag warning you to open the bottle is rather impressive 😆. When opened, the sound of opening the bottle was a short mf and a pshshshh! When you pour it into a glass, it's quite bubbly! It's not so much slightly carbonated as it is full of gas 😆. The top aroma is honey-apple to rumney. Very nice aroma! When I drank it, I found it to be delicious. ❗️ The fresh fizzy acidity and sweetness are all in one, a taste that I like in the modern type 😘. If you look closely, you can find a bit of nigori at the bottom of the bottle ❗️ When I mix and drink it, the sweetness and bitterness become more intense, and it is also delicious 😋. I can see why it's so popular! I'd like to try some of the others: ‼️

On the second day, nigori is in full bloom. Excellent not only as a happoshu but also as nigori sake: ❗️ It has a rich nigori flavor and taste, but still has a fresh gaseous taste. When nigori is fully opened, the bitterness also increases and the impression becomes greeful! Delicious 😋.

Sake is served on the rocks. Take a sip, Ah, it's like a Western sake! It smells like a distilled liquor. Is it malted rice? No, not quite. Maybe a graininess. It's hard to tell with ice. I tried drinking it cold. It's like grappa. No wonder the master brewer is a foreigner. It has a powerful, strong flavor. but on the rocks it's just right and easy to drink. Very well made! It's a bit un-Japanese sake-like. It's good to have something like this: ❗️
