旅先の福井で黒龍純吟と梵Goldのダブルパンチで開眼し、清酒沼にずぶずぶはまった元ドイツワイン党。 お酒はなるべくペダルを漕いで(もちろん非電化車両)、人力で買いに行くよう心掛ける2輪ライダー。 いい歳なんだから、楽して美味しいもんにありついちゃ駄目っす(笑) 数日かけて4合瓶が開く程度の消費具合、美味しいお酒があってもリピートする余裕が無く、日々新しいお酒と初お目見えです。日本酒美味いの多過ぎw

Oh. Slightly darker, richer mouthfeel. More of a classic type. Slightly sweet, with a bit of sourness. When I tasted it carefully, I thought the bitterness came later. On both the first and second days, the bottle opened with a pleasant sound, but there was no gaseous sensation. I was not sure which one to open since it was a special sake day, but I was late on my way home from work and could not prepare much, so I went with this one, which I could drink in a relaxed manner without being overbearing. As with many other things, the BY date was one year ago (smiles).

Clean and fruity, light in mouthfeel, sweet and slightly acidic. I felt a hint of spiciness as it went down my throat. When the bottle was opened, the cork popped with a small sound, but it was not so loud that it blew out due to the internal pressure alone. Well, it is fire-aged. The second day, the impression remained the same, and the sake was clean and light, and since it was fire-aged even though it needed to be refrigerated, it seemed to me to be an excellent sake, more mature, calm, and graceful than various other sake. Thank you for the sake.

Sukkiri-san. Slightly light. Sourness and umami coexist, and the bitterness finishes it off. After a while, there is a sense of gas, to the extent that bubbles can be seen inside the glass. It is a beautiful sake, suitable for a mealtime drink. I thought it was similar to Hakurakusei.

In the cold winds of February, my second son was curious about this bottle, so we went to the brewery to get a bottle. Whoa, whoa, whoa. At first glance, I thought it would be a classic sake to be served warm, unlike the gorgeous Mimurosugi that we all know and love. It is a strange sake with a flavor that is both classic and fruity. Sweetness, acidity, umami, and a caramel-like bitterness all cohabit in harmony, making it a cohesive and delicious sake. The photo shows the Miwa Lore brewery, which began operating in the spring, and the store in front of the station, which can be seen from the waiting room of JR Miwa Station. It was freezing, but we had ice cream and amazake (sweet sake).

I have been so busy for a while that I have not been able to upload the photos of the alcoholic beverages I have been consuming. I didn't even take a picture of it until after it was empty. Fruity aroma. Mellow and a little thick in the mouth. And a little bitterness. The sweet and sour taste is a Hiragana Takachiyo tradition. The website of the key shop where I bought it says, "It has a pineapple feel! It's a popular summer sake with a tropical sweetness" on the website of Kagiya where I bought it, but Takachiyo has a PINEAPPLE GOLD teacher. I'd like to compare two bottles side by side....

Good aroma. Slightly acidic, sweet and delicious! It's just one word: delicious. Fruity, umami, and somewhat full-bodied. It may be due to the aging process in the refrigerator, but.... These four bottles were welcomed at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. Ryoseki, which we had hit on at the Umeda Hankyu the week before, Kinugame Genmai Brewing, which impressed my second son, Kitsune-san, which my wife liked, and Ryuriki Episode 3 Nama-zake, which I had never seen before! I gave up trying to get Eiko Fuji's Yami Naraku Akimizu when I found it at a nearby Takashimaya. The person in charge at Ryuriki Honda Shoten who poured twice to three times as much as the others was badass. lol Thanks for the food!

Nf bapak, hello! I can't say enough good things about your sake - it makes me want to drink it all of a sudden 🤤! I'm reminiscing about the Dewa Sanzan by Goktaka that I drank a while ago that was also delicious 😋. I'm looking forward to drinking some of the sake you've brought home 🤗.

Thank you, ma-ki-. I'm not good at describing fruit by its aroma like you, so I can't say it well, but it was delicious. In addition, after the rest of the last Kutouryuu, even the second cup was delicious, so it's a real WW!

The aroma is basic sake type. It is a "delicious" sake with a complex combination of sweetness, bitterness, richness, umami, and acidity. It is a Kuroryu, after all, and even though it is a rich sweet sake, it has a dignified appearance, or perhaps a sense of dignity with a straightened collar. Is it because of its high alcohol content? (18%) Is it sweet but spicy? It's hard to describe, but it is a solitary existence different from anything else.... The official description says it is light nigorigo, but the degree of nigorigo is only faint. We had to empty our refrigerator a little in preparation for the Takashimaya sake festival we plan to attend next week, so we decided to open a relatively fat bottle of this one. However, I can't buy 5 or 10 bottles in the checkout basket like the people around me on the day of the festival, and with the heat wave continuing, I want to keep as much fire-brewed sake in the fridge as possible. It's a bit of a quandary...

It was a middle-of-the-road sake, neither modern nor classic, with a refreshingly tasty acidity, an alty feeling that lingers in the throat, and a hint of bitterness that was easy to drink without being particularly unpleasant. The brewer, Takeuchi Sake Brewery, went out of business last year, and there are only a few bottles left at regular prices and at some stores at the same price as a knockdown sale. I am not a local, so I don't know, but there was a dispute with an employee over non-payment of wages, and there was talk of selling itself to a foreign capital company. I think it's a shame that we can't drink it anymore, as it was the first stop on our Tokaido Sake brewery tour last spring.

Good evening, Mr. Pon-chan. My wife was disappointed that we could not try the all-you-can-pour menu from the tank at the opening of the brewery.

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!
