The aroma is quite basic sake type. The mouthfeel is rather thick. It has been sitting in the fridge for almost a year and a half, but now it's time to open the bottle. I rewarded myself for working 4 days during the early Bon vacations. It is delicious!

It is clean and crisp. It has a slightly acidic and slightly umami taste, with a touch of bitterness that goes down the throat. The aroma is not so strong and gentle. The Yunaga Sake Brewery of Kaze no Mori is located in the city center of Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, and the Chiyo Sake Brewery is located less than 2 km west of the Yunaga Sake Brewery at the foot of Mount Katsuragi, both brewed under the Kushira brand name. Shinomine's sake has a wide range of sweet and spicy tastes, while Kushira's is more spicy.

The menu on the file also included a three-sake set and a limited-time-only set, but if I could have one sake from each prefecture from the list, I would go there... Here are some notes on the sake. Kikuhime Classic Standard Goudaikyu Sansei: Fruity, clear, acidic, delicious Hanagaki Clear, clean, acidic, good snow35 Deliciously refreshing Noukaya Clear acidity Hatsushin Classic refreshing I preferred Sansei and Hanagaki, and my wife preferred snow35, so we chose Sansei for the check-in. Kikuhime Daiginjo was the first one we went for because it was a famous sake we had heard about, but it was not to our liking. I still prefer modern sake, whether sweet or spicy.

It is a "fire-aged version of Gonyo Gonyo" (from the official Instagram) prepared for the Hokuriku Summer Sake Festival 2025 (lol). I had a little bit of the sake highball with carbonated water in a plastic cup, and the one I liked the best was Tama-Asahi. It was more fruity and sweeter than Tengu Mai, and had a more modern taste than Seiryu Fukui. And we received a clear file with our event flyer after filling out a questionnaire.

Slightly full-bodied, with a hint of yellowish ripeness. It has a slightly yellowish ripeness, but it is clean, fruity, and slightly tasty. It is crisp and disappears in the back of the throat. I ordered it from a sake boutique in Wajima, Okuda-san, in late September last year, and opened a bottle to avoid storing it at room temperature during the heat wave. I was glad to see that there was no twitchiness to it. Kazuma Sake Brewery was able to resume brewing last April, and the fourth round of the "Don't Stop Noto's Sake Project" is now in stores. We will keep in mind the breweries that continue to wait for reopening and those that were able to reopen.

A bottle I bought at the brewery last summer, a Kura Master 2024 gold medal-winning sake. It has a rather rich mouthfeel, a hint of bitterness, and finishes with a slight lingering aftertaste. It was slightly sweet, but also refreshing and easy to drink. It reminded me of the time we compared sake at the Hama Bar in Hizenhama, where each brewery had its own character, but it was like this.... It must be difficult for them, but they are doing their best. Sake from Saga is delicious.

The 59 series, made with 100% Comet, opened a year late. Still Aizan.... It has a tangy, sweet and sour flavor with a good amount of richness. There are many 59 series with different rice, and all of them have Takachiyo taste, but all of them are delicious. By the way, MS-06S is written at the bottom of the label...(lol)

It was my first Kuroryu event, and there was no way I could miss it, as I was hooked on Kuroryu Jungin! So I got in line before the event started. All of them were delicious!　That's all I have to say! It would be a bit violent if I close with Junmai Ginjo Ichigyorai Sukkiri Daiginjo Crystal Dragon Jungin + Slightly sweet Daiginjo Even more refreshingly clean Daiginjo SHIZUKU HONO-UMI Sukkiri My wife's side had Kutouryu Hyoyashi, Kijoshu, and Daiginjo Nigori, which were also delicious, with refreshing acidity, refreshing light sweetness, and refreshing clear acidity, respectively. I missed taking a picture.... Crystal Dragon and Kutouryu Daiginjo Nigori are said to be limited brands for restaurants. I thought I had never heard of them. Kuroryu is the best. If you order a set of 3 kinds from 1 to 9 for 1000 yen, you can also order the limited super limited. I couldn't take them home because I have a Kutouryuu Doroguchi and a Daiginjo in my fridge. I have to reduce the stock...

It tastes good plainly!　It is fruity with a sweet and slightly sour taste. The mouthfeel is mellow, and the taste is slightly thick from the middle to the end of the mouthfeel, but the taste goes down the throat quite smoothly and crisply. As one would expect from Niigata, there is no shortage of delicious sake, and it is no wonder it won the JAL Flying SAKE Award at the SAKE COMPETITION 2023. The fact that it was available at Yamaya is also quite impressive. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It has a clean umakuchi taste, not sweet, but not so dry as to be called dry. According to the official website, it has a Sake meter rating of +4, which is quite understandable. There are many fresh and fruity sake-like drinks nowadays, but this one is right in the middle of the royal road. Since it was the season, I preferred it chilled. It is delicious!

It has a winning acidity, a full-bodied umami, a moderate sweetness, and a hint of bitterness and gasiness. Of course it is delicious. Of course it is delicious. With the number of brands of maki-ki increasing from last year, we can only watch with our fingers crossed as we finally drink last year's sake. It is a problem that there are so many delicious sake all over Japan....

On the same day, an event was held at HOKURIKU+ in KITTE Osaka, where three premium sakes made from Sakahomare from Fukui were served. I was lucky enough to be out that day and saw the poster. My wife had Bon and I had Ippongi. When we asked the staff to serve us Ippongi, they complimented us on how well they knew it, and we were pleasantly surprised (laugh). Sorry, I only remember that the Bon was a little sweeter and both were delicious. But considering the price difference, I think I am happy enough with Ippongi. The Kinmusyo sake is 3,245 yen without the box, the Regalo with the box is 3,960 yen, and the Brahma is 5,500 yen. The sake from Fukui that got my husband and I into the sake swamp is still delicious. Thank you very much for the sake!

Yes, many people already review this every year, so I don't dare to say it myself. It is a sweet and delicious pineapple, Hiragana Takachiyo's Jun Dai PINEAPPLE. I opened the bottle because it is about to be one year old. It is slightly gassy, sweet and rich, and slightly bitter, and it kicks in. Yum! I'll have to work hard to reduce the stock in the fridge so I can have a place to evacuate the fire-aged sake........

We tasted four brands, but chose Kinjaku, a junmai daiginjo and the most difficult to obtain, out of respect. We had it at the Iwakuni City Tourist Exchange Center "Honke Matsugane" just a short walk from the Kintai Bridge. Otter Otter: clear, tasty, and slightly classic. Ganki - clean, slightly sweet, umami with a hint of sourness Gobashi Sukkiri Slightly sweet-umami with a hint of sourness Kinjaku Sukkiri Slightly sweet-odd, with a stronger sweetness than the others I often feel that junmai daiginjos are more refreshing, but this one was the sweetest of the four, and had a very exceptional taste. Officially, it is described as a "sip tasting," but it came poured into a nice sake cup made by a local potter. The service was not very good, as we had to order only once and no additional drinks were accepted, even though there were two of us. If it's one brewery and up to five drinks per person, I think it's fine for two people to order one drink separately....

Jay & Nobby Good evening. There is a Golden Sparrow that is difficult to obtain and you may have a lot of trouble. It was the same with other specialties, and two people who came later also offered two tickets for the same thing, and they were corrected....

Lemon-like fresh acidity, clean and crisp. Delicious. After visiting Saijo, we returned to Hiroshima City and had dinner at Urabukuro Hamaken, a fish market bar. Even though it was late in the evening, the food was delicious, even to the palate that had been drinking heavily during the day. The music playing at the bar was on a cable? The music on the airwire at the restaurant was a pop music channel from the 80's, and I was so into it that I was in love with it. I have a disc of LOOK "Reminiscence of a Boy", Keisuke Kuwata "Just a man in love", and others....

The fifth brewery I visited in Saijo, Kamoizumi Sake Brewery. It is located at the far end of the east side of the brewery, and I thought it was okay since it was far away, but I was surprised to find that there were still some tickets left, so I visited. It was a great decision to stretch my legs! We were able to sit comfortably in the renovated western-style store. Zouga Summer Junmai Somewhat spicy and light. Junmai Ginjo Nama Kokkoku, kinky, medium, refreshing. cokun Soupy and fruity, (personally) reminiscent of cherries. Three different tastes, cokun was my favorite. It reminded me of the peach-colored nigori of "Amezure," a very good beer. Three coupons for a tipsy stroll turned into a limited edition Junmai sake from this brewery. There is quite a mismatch between the brands offered with the coupons and the brands I wanted to try, so I thought afterward that it would be a little dangerous to buy a large amount of coupons at the beginning. That's how attractive each brewery's paid tasting is, and that's why it's worth visiting. Please make sure to check the days and times when the breweries are open.

I would have liked to visit Saijo for the fifth time, but Kamerei Shuzo was closed that day, so I went to Okada Sake Brewery along the Sake Brewery Street and had a cold brewed sake at room temperature, the only one available among the brands for a small drink. I was told that there are only a few stores in western Japan that carry Kamerei sake, because of the care that Shinshu Kamerei takes in their sake. It was a classic, refreshing sake. I could only get the impression that it was just like this, and I thought that if I had another chance, I would definitely come when the brewery was open. The glass was properly Kamerei. More importantly, Okada Sake Brewery. With turntables, neon signs, Showa-era movie posters, and a large-screen LCD TV overhead, it was more like a bar than a liquor store. It was not a place to relax and enjoy local sake. They served us a cup of wasabi beans.

The fourth restaurant we visited in Saijo, Fukubito Shuzo. We were served Junmai Ginjo, which is probably a standard item. It was refreshing, slightly tasty, and slightly sweet. There are many beautiful sake in Japan. I have been trying to complete the list, yes. The brewery is located in the back of the sake brewery street, and the brewer was alone, perhaps because there were only a few visitors, or perhaps it was the wrong time of day. There was a space for display and explanation, and a quiet space for tasting and selling sake.

The Kamotsuru Sake Brewery is the third brewery we visited in Saijo, the sake capital of Japan. The Kamotsuru Gold, with its round, solid silhouette and low center of gravity, stands out on the shelves of the supermarket. We were served this brand, which is only sold at six special distributors nationwide and here. Akane Hiroshima Nishiki (Junmai), a classic type. Ai: Omachi (special junmai) Somewhat classic, clean and tasty acidity. More acidic than Akane. Orange Hachitan 35 (Junmai Ginjo) Clean, weak character, easy to drink. Ugui Yamadanishiki (Junmai Daiginjo) Soft and sweet, with a unique junmai mouthfeel, but the price is 2.5 times higher than the others, which is a bottleneck. Many of them are labeled 100 yen per cup, except for the premium priced ones, which are very reasonable. Mini rice fields at the entrance of the building, Akiromann, Hiroshima's resident rice, and Yamadanishiki are grown, reminding us that Yamadanishiki grows tall, I knew it. There were many, but not all, of the brands we tasted, and we felt that this brewery is one of the largest and best-funded in Saijo. The fourth one, "Ao Saae," which I was attracted to because of the words "raw sake," was a mature sake with a bit of a peculiar taste, but lacking in characteristics.

Next White Botan Sake Brewery. We had two kinds of Horoiyoi Walking Coupon. Daiginjo-Ichi no Shizuku: Deliciously refreshing and slightly heavy. Junmai Ginjyo Nama Storage: Medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity. The Kamotsuru brewery is located next to the Hakubutan chimney. The breweries and sites of the various sake brewing companies in this area were all in a jumble, and it was quite impressive. I thought that this area had a lot to offer for calling itself the "Sake Capital of Japan.
