Soooo neat ^ ^.
This is a food wine 🍶.
I'd like some fish 🐟.
Maybe white fish😊.
I like it with roasted sake, not soy sauce 😊.
I can imagine all kinds of snacks with this sake👍

Commemorative 900 check-in: ❗️
Much better‼️
Yanari Bunraku ^ ^.
They don't sell this sake very often at the brewery 🍶.
It has a refreshing citrusy acidity, overall soft but fruity taste🍊.
Somehow, it makes me feel a little excited ☺️ young sake 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Kazuki!
Congratulations on your 900 check-ins 🎉!
You've finally hit the big one 🎵 It's awesome 😲.
I remember drinking too much of this delicious drink 😁✨✨✨.
Have a great drinking season 😋😋!
Kazuki, congratulations on your 900 check-ins✅🎊🎉.
Is it a direct sales place 😲I've been wanting to visit one but haven't.
Please keep visiting breweries and have a good sake life 😊.

Mr. Machiner.
Thank you for your comment😊.
Yes, it's a 5 minute walk from Ageo station, so it's close and easy to get to ^ ^.
They also run a soba restaurant, which I recommend 🎵.
ma-ki-.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Have you ever had this sake? ⁉️
It seems they deliver it to restaurants and it's not usually sold at direct sales ^ ^.
I'm worried about myself because I'm too active in the sake business.
Hiro.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Yes, it is a direct sales shop attached to the Northwest Sake Brewery building!
You can't sample the sake, but I recommend the soba noodles shop next door 🤣 which is also directly managed by the brewery.
There is a set to compare drinks ^ ^.

Darker ❗️
It's a Junmai Daiginjo, so I thought it was smooth, but it has a dense sugar like honey or syrup ^ ^.
I like it, so I can drink as much as I want, but it depends on the person?
Maybe next time I'll buy it online 🍶.

Refreshingly sour! Spicy but clear and refreshing 🎐.
But there is no unpleasant taste or feeling of lingering on the tongue, which is often the case with spicy sake!
It is silky and smooth on the tongue.
Good sake 🍶!

Amazing, it tastes like many things ^ ^.
Sweet, spicy, acidic, umami, and a freshness that is typical of nama-zake, it also drains off the oil. ☺️ Even though it is a nama-zake, it is a good food sake. ❗️
Today, I served fried bonjiri with soy sauce.

Very spicy w
Like water ^ ^.
However, if you observe closely, you can see the mellow sweetness that this brewery has ☺️ but that mellowness soon leaves the back of the throat. It is a humble sake that never interferes with the taste of its ingredients 🍶.

First visit to a brewery in a long time ^ ^.
Very rich 😆.
It has a little bit of alcohol tang, but it has a deep, slow flavor, yet silky 😁.
Found a good brewery ☺️

Yasashi!
Traditional sake taste, relatively spicy and smooth😁.
Full of juicy feeling ^ ^.

Beraho deliciousness ⭐️
How silky 😆😁.
Ridiculously gentle sweetness ^ ^.
Softly wrapping around the tongue like a veil of softness ^ ^
More like a heavenly maiden than a dragon☺️
Sake power that hasn't waned over time since I bought it 🍶.
It's the best ✨
Good morning, Mr. Kazuki!
I see you visited the brewery 🎵.
I'm suddenly very interested in Shoryu-no-mai after reading your delicious reviews of it 🤤.
I'm suddenly very interested in it 🤤 I'd like to try it 🤤!

Mmmm, it tastes kind of nostalgic, old-fashioned, but somehow not disgusting!
It feels sweet but not heavy, sour but not spicy!
It's a strange feeling ^ ^ It's a food sake 🍶.
Taste it slowly while listening to the sound of bell bugs 🪲.

Quite spicy!
Refreshing ^ ^
Like water 💧.
The top is fruity and fruity 🍊.
But it's quite spicy, so that flavor will soon go away.
It's a quality product ^ ^.

Purchased at Hanadaya Sake Shop
At first you think it has a fruity taste, but then it just goes smooth and crisp. ❗️
It asserts itself properly, but pulls back quickly, shigodeki type: 🙂↔️
It also has a slight acidity accent!
With the concept of harmony with people, it is also good as a food wine 🍶.

Soft ^ ^
But with juicy fruitiness 😆.
It's rather dark and the acidity is a bit more pronounced!
Like a plum ^ ^.

Purchased at Yoshiya.
Good fermentation smell 😆.
Great balance of sourness and umami ^ ^.
It's like So or Daigo! The sourness that lingers in the aftertaste is somehow very refreshing💫.
I have an image of this brewery as spicy, but it's sober and rich ^ ^.

Summery and quite bitter!

It has a strong flavor.
Great to drink 🍺.
Japanese sake is really good 🍶.

Purchased at 7-Eleven in Taipei
I was surprised to learn that they have sake in Taiwan! I was surprised and bought it to give it a try.
It tastes very traditional! It is relatively spicy and light. The sourness and fermented sweetness is like old time sake! It is supposed to be a food sake.
It is supposed to be a food sake, but it might taste better heated!
I tried heating it up. It's better heated, but if the subtle acidity is tempered a bit more👍.

Soft acidity ^ ^
Crisp fruitiness like white grapes, with a harmonious fermentation aroma and sweet, mellow flavor behind it.
It is a very famous sake, and it is very tasty.
I want to drink it while savoring it slowly ^ ^.

The label has gone bald...
Hmmm! Fresh ❗️
I love the gentle sweetness, umami, and fruitiness of this Miyakanume 😊.
It has this sweetness that comes out from deep inside without corners and roundness!
And the 🍊-like fruitiness of the tangerines that seem to hide in the sweetness 😆.
It's awesome👍!
