Ippongi事無笑酒 Regalo大吟醸

HOKURIKU+

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.

I went on a trip to Saijo, the sake capital of Japan. First, Saijotsuru Brewery. (2) Aizan: Fruity acidity, lighter than Omachi. (3) Yumachi (limited edition for the first brewery opening): rich, powerful sake. Neither is light, but punchy. It was the first sake, so of course it was delicious! (lol) (Since it was the first sake, I would have liked to have had some other unfiltered junmai if I had more energy left after visiting other places, but in reality, I ran out of time...and that was the end of it.

Ama-uma-saaan(Sweet, delicious and acidic)! Very well balanced! Nothing to say. If you see it, you must drink it. The mouthfeel is mellow, not too light and not too heavy, and it finishes softly. It may not be suitable for those who prefer dry sake. When I visited Fukuoka in early spring, I went to the Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery to get a bottle of Hana-no-Kou instead of San-do. This is the one I brought back from among the many varieties of Wakanoha at a sake shop in Yanagawa. When I came home from work, the kitchen was not cleaned, my sons didn't seem to come down at all, and I was thinking, "I don't want to cook rice, wash dishes, and think about dinner myself on Father's Day! When I got home, my second son made a main dish and miso soup. So I left it to him so that I could put out the garbage tomorrow morning, and vacuumed a little. I was vacuuming a little so I could put out the garbage tomorrow morning.

At first, there was a strong lemon-like acidity and a tangy gasiness. It was a delicious sake with a strong lemon-like acidity and a tangy, gassy feeling at first, followed by a considerable umami flavor, but it was light and refreshing on the palate, and finished off with a refreshing finish. As one would expect from Takachiyo, there is nothing missing, even if it is not Hiragana!

The aroma is mild, the flavor and acidity come through nicely, and it is a delicious sake that finishes crisp and clean. Takehaha by Kazuma Sake Brewery was brewed at Yoshida Sake Brewery in Tedorigawa as part of the first phase of Makuake's "Stop Noto's Sake" project. This is one of the bottles we ordered from Wajima, along with the second batch of raw sake. I had read in a book about the Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery that "Yumasaru-shu" means "sake that makes you drink a lot," and while there is nothing spectacular or outstanding about this Takeha original recipe reproduction, there is something about it that captures and holds your attention. It is simply delicious. It is simply delicious.

This double-named bottle was brewed under the supervision of the brewer at Yukawa Sake Brewery using rice saved from the Shirafuji Sake Brewery. The aroma is quite strong. It had a slightly yellowish color, a refreshing acidity, a moderate sweetness, and a slight bitterness, and was a delicious sake with a slightly thick mouthfeel. The collaboration sake with Kaze no Mori's Aburanaga Shuzo was a draft, so I enjoyed it without much time to drink, but the one I received from a local liquor store in Wajima earlier was a fire-aged sake, so I let it sit for a long time. We could not let it stay for two summers even though it was indoors, so we have now opened the bottle. Some of the breweries that were affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake have reopened on their own, others are brewing with the cooperation of breweries in the prefecture, but we have not seen any sake from the Shirafuji Brewery, so it appears that they are still in the process of reopening. We hope to see them again.

It was a fresh sake with a fruity aroma, a clean and light mouthfeel, a slightly sweet taste, and a bitter finish. It was a new sake only available at the opening of the brewery, but after five months in the refrigerator, we enjoyed it as a refreshing sake that is also suitable for summer. It's a pity that Umenoyado has restructured its sake lineup to focus more on liqueurs. It's too bad, because it's such a delicious sake. I guess it hurts that Kaze no Mori and Shinomine are so close to each other...

The bottle was opened with the sound of gas escaping. The fruity aroma is moderate, and the middle to light, refreshing taste is followed moderately by the aroma of sweet-tart acidity and rice. The sweet, delicious acidity and rice aroma linger modestly in the mouth. I have had Tsuchida at a sake festival at Takashimaya, but this is the first Gunma sake that I bought and drank at home. Recently, I've been drinking fire-brewed sake stored in a cool dark place before it gets too hot, but now and then I need to cut back on the amount of raw sake I drink.

I saw it in a flyer at the supermarket and ran out to buy it, but was a little disappointed to find that it was never out of stock after I purchased it. However, I did not see any reviews of Junmai Ginjo, but only of Junmai or Junmai Daiginjo sake, which is a mystery. There was none of the rich sweetness that is often seen in reviews of junmai, and it was a fairly standard, classic sake, neither dark nor light, sweet nor spicy, but rather a medium saké. As a junmai ginjo, it has a clear taste with no cloying flavors, as expected.

It is a casual sake with a refreshing sweet and sour taste. I bought a bottle at the Niigata prefecture antenna store in KITTE Osaka at my son's request. It has a moderate alcohol content of 8%, a refreshing aftertaste, and a junmai (65% polished rice) ratio, which is good, of course, for a major Niigata sake brewer. However, there are many inexpensive chu-hi and happoshu available on the market, so I think it would be tough to compete with them...

This was the first kijoshu I drank at home. It was a completely different sake from Isshaku Suisei's X-factor. The aroma is quite classic. It has a rich mouthfeel with a yellowish color. However, after a year and a half of storage at room temperature, albeit in a cool and dark place, I think it has lost some of its flavor.... It is now renewed as Chiebijin Kijoshu with kanji characters, and won the gold medal in the premier lukewarm category of the heated sake contest.

My first impression was that it was a refreshing type with a sour taste and not sweet, but once I got used to it, I found it to be less so. The aroma was weak and classic, and although it was a low-alcohol type at 12°C, I felt the alu flavor quite well. When I checked the Masumi website, I found that it had been on the market for 9 years, and that they announced the end of sales in late summer of last year.... Although it was brewed with the aim of becoming a next-generation standard, it seems that it was not accepted by the market. It is a pity because I think the concept is good.
