I started sakéwa 2.5 years ago and finally reached 200 check-ins! Please keep up the good work! This time, I went to visit the Nakazawa Sake Brewery in Matsuda-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture. This was the last brewery tour of the year, and it seems that the brewing of sake is about to begin. This sake brewery is open to any questions, and we were given a detailed explanation of the sake brewing process. The tour fee was 1,000 yen, but we were given a ticket for 500 yen to use for tasting and purchasing products, which we felt was a very good deal as well as the tour itself. After the tour, we purchased S.tokyo, which we most wanted to drink at home. I was told that this sake is made from an old yeast discovered in the Meiji era (1868-1912). The brewer reminded us to drink it well chilled 😁. It has a fermented feeling like yogurt, a fresh fruity flavor reminiscent of slightly hard apples, and a little bit of graininess. The aftertaste is clean and the aroma is not so strong. It was a delicious wine that would be more enjoyable to drink in a wine glass.

Thank you, Pon! I heard that the brewery here brews with soft water, which is rare in Kanagawa 😊, and the overall quality of the sake seems softer. If you have a chance, please try it 😁.

This is the third time I've had a Seijiki Left Horse Jungin. I was in the mood to drink something I knew was delicious rather than in the mood for a challenge. The fruity aroma and sweetness, like strawberry syrup or ripe melon, were much more restrained than when I drank it before, and the grain aroma, bitterness, and acidity were stronger. The flavor of the rice was as good as ever in this sake♪ It was a treat 😊.

I had previously had Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki Jungin, both of which I remember being delicious, and I recently saw it at my favorite liquor store and decided to repeat it! It has a fruity aroma of apples and pears, and a slight fermentation feeling like yogurt. It has a sweet mouthfeel, a little sourness, and a strong umami flavor. It has a good balance between a pleasant sweetness that comes at first and a refreshing spiciness in the second half. The aroma is mild without being too strong, and the alcohol is mild and easy to drink. Thank you for the sake.

This is the first sake I've ever seen. I thought it would be a dry sake because of the strong pressure of the letters on the label, but the clerk at the liquor store told me that it was surprisingly a sweet sake. The sake brewery is located in Otawara City, northern Tochigi Prefecture, and the atmosphere is similar to that of Fukushima Prefecture's sake. I love Fukushima Prefecture sake, so I bought it. The back label lists seven different types of sake with different rice and rice polishing ratios. I looked it up on the internet and it seems to be a blend of 7 different types of junmai sake! It has a light aroma with the freshness of pears and honey apples and a slight yogurtiness. The taste was mainly soft sweetness like honey, with a little sourness, bitterness, and alcohol, making it an easy-drinking sake that would be gone in a cup before you knew it. The bitterness seemed a little stronger after a day of drinking. It was delicious. Thank you for the treat 😁.

Just last month I was lucky enough to get a 2 year old product with almost the same specs 😁. It's a lightly cloudy sake with a loud pop when opened and a strong gassy feel. Fresh and juicy aroma like red meat melon, honey apple, and pear is moderate, and the taste is mainly sweetness, acidity, and rice flavor, with a little bitterness. There is a good balance between aroma and taste. The aroma was more floral and gassy than the 2-year aged product, and the bitterness was a little more restrained, but the sweet and tasty flavor remained the same, and the aroma and flavor trends were similar. I am glad that the price is less than 1600 yen for this quality. We enjoyed it very much 😁.

It is a low-alcoholic drink. It has a gaseous taste. It has a fruity aroma like muscat and a mild rummy aroma👍. The taste is sweet and sour, with a bit of bitterness and a clean aftertaste, making it a good drink for hot days. It is a good sake for a hot day.

This is my first time to buy a lily strain. I was attracted by the word "micro brewing" 😅. I feel the alcohol taste is quite strong. I also felt a yogurt-like fermentation, grain aroma, and woody citrus. It also has a little bit of an old wine feel to it. The taste was quite acidic, with a moderate sweetness, and a little astringency and bitterness in the latter half. Personally, it was not my favorite type of sake... Thank you very much for the drink!

I was very curious about this sake after reading your review of Sake no Wa. I finally got to see it... ♪ It has a ripe, sweet aroma of apples and melons, with an elegant taste of sweetness and acidity. I felt a sense of gas and a little bitterness in the second half. It is juicy sweet and delicious. This is my favorite one. Thanks for the treat 😁.

Yamazan is one of my favorite sakes, but it is hard to find... Recently, I checked the Instagram of a liquor store I often visit and found information that it would be in stock on Friday! Since I can only go there on Saturdays and Sundays, I visited the store half expecting and half giving up, but luckily there was only one bottle left. I asked the clerk about the aroma of old sake, which I am not very fond of, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that there was no such aroma. I bought it immediately! When I opened it, there was a rather loud popping sound! Fortunately, it didn't blow out, but there was still quite a bit of fizziness. It is a light cloudy sake. The aroma is quite subdued with a sweet fruity aroma like red meat melon and ripe apples, and there is also a yogurt-like fermentation. I didn't feel the old sake-like quality I was worried about 😁I felt a strong, tangy carbonation, sweetness and umami first, and later a slightly stronger acidity and a little bit of bitter bitterness. It was a delicious sake with complexity and depth. It was a treat 😊.

I had had some sake from the Chiyomusubi Sake Brewery when I traveled to the San-in region the year before last, but this is the first time I have had sake from Tottori Prefecture for drinking at home! I had an image of Chiyomusubi as a dry sake, but this Ichigeki is more on the sweet side. In addition to juicy aromas of green apple and pear, it also has a gorgeous fruity tropical fruitiness like pineapple and mango. The taste is mainly rich and sweet, with not so much acidity, and a little bitterness in the latter half of the taste. It was delicious👍 Thanks for the treat😊

It was purchased at the brewery. This sake also won the gold medal at the Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Awards 2025. Congratulations! This sake has a subtle melon-like aroma. It is said to be a sake that tastes great in a wine glass, but it also tastes great in a sake cup. It was an easy to drink sake with mainly sweetness and less acidity than the raw sake. Thank you very much for the meal 😊.

It is a gift from a person to whom my parents have always been indebted. Words like "kurahakushi," or "hidden warehouse," are very heartwarming. The aroma has a hint of rummy aroma. The flavor is centered on a slightly strong acidity and sweetness. Although the acidity is a little strong, the sake is easy to drink without any peculiarities. The modest aroma keeps you from getting tired of drinking it, and it is a good sake to drink with food. The alcohol is mild and it was served cold. Thank you very much for your kindness.

It is said that this sake was awarded GOLD (2nd prize) in the Junmai-shu category of the 2025 SAKE COMPETITION. I visited the brewery and purchased a bottle. I am not the only one who wants to try this award-winning sake... At a liquor store I once visited, I heard that the quality of sake from this brewery has improved dramatically over the past few years. They seem to be gaining in popularity. The aroma is yogurt and melon-like, with a hint of alcohol. As the name "Umakuchi" implies, you can taste the umami of the rice, and the acidity is just right. The mouthfeel is a bit sweet, but overall it was a dry and refreshing sake. Thank you for the meal 😊.

I bought this at a supermarket near my parents' house. It is nice to know that local sake is sold at regular supermarkets. It is a summer-only sake. The cool bottle and label are nice. It has a gorgeous fruity aroma, like rumney or melon and a little pineapple. But the aroma is mild, with a bit of sweetness and bitterness, and a touch of alcohol. The second half was refreshing and typical of summer sake. It was a treat 😊. After I finished drinking it, I looked back at my records and found that I drank it last year at the same time 😅...

The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is mainly sweet, similar to Kame-no-o. It is also low-alcohol and has a gentle taste. The aroma is slightly melon-like, but the flavor is quite subdued, and I felt the flavor of the rice was stronger here than in Kame-no-o'o. It was delicious... a treat 😊.

My nephew bought this one too. Good selection! 👍I also brought a bottle of Nichinichi Yamada-Nishiki for my parents' house, and we had an unexpected Nichinichi drinking comparison! This sake has an elegant aroma of melon and sweet aroma like cotton candy. The mouthfeel is also very gentle, probably due to the low alcohol content. The sweetness is the main flavor, with a little sourness. The aroma was more gorgeous than that of Yamadanishiki. The sweetness was elegant and light without being clingy, and it was delicious. Thank you very much!

I was lucky enough to buy Yamazan once and enjoyed it so much that I have always wanted to repeat it, but have never had the chance. When I went back to my parents' house, my nephew who came back at the same time bought it for me! 👏👍 The sparkling made it more effervescent, the fresh fruity muscat-like aroma was mild, and in addition to the sweetness and acidity, I could also taste the umami and bitterness of the rice. It was a delicious sake with a good balance of not only sweetness but also a refreshing second half. It is more like champagne than sake.

Toyo Bijin, which we had a draft of last December and liked very much. This time it was fire-aged, but I had high expectations for it. It has a sweet fruity aroma like ripe green melon, with a strong sweetness, followed by acidity and rice flavor. It was a very tasty sake, with a little bit of alcohol, but very easy to drink.â There are many delicious sakes from Yamaguchi prefecture! 👍 Thanks for the treat 😁.

I was quite into purple space last year. I think I see it less often than before, probably due to its growing popularity. I saw it for the first time in a long time and bought it. It seems to be the first Murasakyu sake brewed with flower yeast. The aroma is reminiscent of pineapple and strawberries, and the taste is rich and juicy with a strong sweetness and acidity. The Nadeshiko label we received this time seemed to have a little more alcohol than the others. We enjoyed it again... a treat 😊.
