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アカン(^_^;) 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。

1 Mild mouthfeel, sweet, rather dark, with a touch of spiciness. As you drink more, it becomes mildly sweet. 2 Gassy, milky, ricey and sweet. Then it is delicious. The feeling does not change as you drink more. It is just like nigori sake. 4 Sweet wine-like mouthfeel, medium, slightly thin. It came to the brewery opening. The sake breweries that appear at Sake-no-Wawa are all well-known throughout Japan, and the sake you buy at the stores is also from those breweries, but you can't turn a blind eye to the local breweries in Osaka either. There were various stalls, performances by local artists, and the festival was quite lively. Next year, I hope to come with my wife and enjoy more brands.

It has a slightly yellowish appearance, a slightly thick mouthfeel, a fruity aroma, a refreshing sweetness, and a slightly delicious flavor. It disappears easily and crisply. Even after a year, even after being fire-aged, it is still a quintessential Nabeshima. It had the standard taste of beautiful sake. It is unquestionably good! I kept it refrigerated even though it was fire-aged. I bought this bottle at the nearby Iimori Sake Brewery during my visit to Hizenhama last summer, as the brewery does not sell retail. At the time, they only had this Yamadanishiki and a bottle of summer moon, and I couldn't travel with a bottle on my back, so I went with this one. The first time I had Nabeshima was with San-do at a bar in Fukuoka, and now I feel like drinking San-do as well! When I went to buy Denshogiku the other day, they were selling Ni-no-jo and Nanano-jo side by side!

Nf bapak, hello! Nabesama's Purple Label is delicious 😋. I had it for the first time this year, and it was really fruity and delicious 🎵 I'm jealous of the liquor stores that sell Ni No Nou brew and Nan No Nou brew 😍.

ma-ki-san Good evening. It is difficult to get Nabesama in Osaka, isn't it? I heard that there is a store in Kitakagaya that carries it.... If you come to Minamikawachi, you can go to Sukumasa Sake Brewery right in front of Kongo Station, where you can even buy Jikin if you save up enough Pt.

It has a firm, punchy quality, with a twin flavor of acidity and umami, and the sweetness was not so strong. As the label says, this year's Niwolf was low-polished, and the 80%-polished Aizan was made in pursuit of Aizan-ness and Niuzan-ness. It is not a classic sake, but it is not a modern, sweet and fruity sake.

This sake was found at KALDI, a very popular coffee and worldwide processed food and ingredient store. It was a delicious sake with a refreshing taste, acidity, gentle sweetness, and a hint of a light amazake flavor.

It has a fresh aroma, sweet and sour taste, and umami flavor, with a fairly firm body and a gassy feeling on the tip of the tongue. There was also a sense of alu on the tip of the tongue. It is a beautiful sake with a deep flavor. On the third day after opening the bottle, it was still sweet, delicious, and rich. It was the best sake we had at the Koshi Fair at Asano Sake Shop last February, but we were not able to bring it home that year, and it took us a year to get it this spring. Finally, we were able to open the bottle.

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.

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)
