I heard it reads "Amabuki".
The color of the label is also strawberry! The taste is also strawberry!
The taste is also strawberry! I guess it tastes like strawberries, too. Maybe.
Thank you very much.
A hiragana takachi-yo, which I quite like to buy.
This time it is Green Label.
It has a fresh, grapefruit-like flavor, with a good amount of acidity, and is my favorite.
Thank you, Takachiyo, for always providing us with delicious sake.
I opened my mouth in anticipation of the apple-like aroma that I had heard about before.
In fact, it also had a gorgeous, elegant apple-like aroma that whetted my appetite.
The acidity was 1.4, but the mouthfeel was more acidic, perhaps due to the aroma, which was also delicious.
Nagano, Daisetsuken.
Delicious as always! The raw Alps is also cosy.
Daisetsukei, since it is such a delicious sake, I hope you will do your best in marketing it so that we can find it at izakayas in Tokyo.
If there is anything I can do to help, I will do it.
I bought it at a liquor store in Aizu Sakashita-cho.
It seems to be original, so you can easily tell which liquor store it is from.
Just like the fancy label, the taste had a sweetness and sourness reminiscent of apples.
It was a good decision to buy this one out of the many available.
It does not seem to be distributed, but I would like to taste this sake again!
I buy it every year, but this year I had a hard time finding it.
It has the gorgeousness of Junmai Daiginjo, the fruity aroma and sweetness, and the cost-effectiveness, all in all, it tastes great.
No wonder it is so popular! Thank you, Kangiku-san, for the delicious Denshogiku this year as well.
Thank you again, Mr. Kangiku.
It is a very elegant white color.
The degree is slightly low at 13 degrees.
I thought it would be sweet because it is cloudy, but it is not that sweet and has a strong freshness.
No matter what I drink, Kangiku-san's sake is definitely my favorite - lol!
Thank you for the sake!
This is Kunigon, a sake from Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture. I bought it at a sake shop in Aizu Sakashita.
It is a summer sake, but I have not had a chance to drink it.
Most summer sake has a low alcohol content, but this one is 17 degrees, and I could feel the difference in punch even at about 1 degree.
I often drink Kunigon's Tefu, Silver Label, etc. when I see them. Thank you, Kunigon-san, for always providing us with delicious sake!
I am a frequent drinker of Masamune Instrument Masamune, but I have not had much of a chance to drink Shizenigo.
This time, I bought Enryu Junmai. It had a nice aroma and was fresh on the palate, but I found it to be a bit dry. The final umami flavor invites you to drink the next cup.
It seems to be a trial product.
It has a faint orange aroma and is low in alcohol content, making it easy to drink. I could feel the orange in my mouth to the extent that it did not interfere with the sake.
Fashionable!
This is a seasonal version of Daisetsukkei.
It feels a little dry like Taisetsukei, but it is refreshing and easy to drink!
Taisetsukei is available everywhere in Nagano, and I have heard that it is hard to find in Tokyo.
However, recently I have seen Taisukei at some stores in Tokyo, although there are not many varieties.
It is an easy-drinking and cost-effective sake, so we hope they will do their best in marketing it.
I am a frequent Koshi drinker, but I happened to see this one at a small local liquor store and bought it.
It has been a long time since I hit the jackpot! I drink Kouji all year round, starting with the Risshun morning aperitif, so I knew it would be a sake that would be right up my alley, but this one had a nice kick with a slight spike, sweetness, acidity, and a nice crispness without being too sweet. It was completely to my liking!
I looked it up and found out that it was a special limited edition brewery release. I'm going to rush out and buy more bottles!
Tenmei Nakadori Zero, obtained in Aizu Sakashita.
I bought it in a bottle!
I came all the way to Aizu to buy it (I also climb mountains lol), so rather than regret not buying a bottle, I regret buying one! I chose the one of the following.
But this is delicious without discovery! It was a good decision to take on the challenge! The sweetness and sourness are perfect for my taste. The aroma of the sake is also very elegant and complements the taste.
As expected from Fukushima and Aizu! It's just as I expected from Fukushima and Aizu.
Very nice! I have to find a liquor store near me where I can buy Tenmei, or I will have to go to Aizu to buy it again.
Hi Kappuku, nice to meet you. I would like to try Tenmei after reading your post. If you are in Tokyo, you can often find the same brand at Yamauchiya near Nippori station. I think they always have several kinds.
Thank you for your comments, Sibejas.
Thank you for the guidance.
I hope you will try it, too, as my poor palate is limited in its ability to describe it.
Utashiro, I could not read. I still have a lot to learn.
I see it is a sake from Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture! Welcome all the way!
The taste has a refreshing aroma, sweet and sour like muscat. It's not a draft sake, but it has a fizzy taste! It's delicious! The sharpness is very good and doesn't leave any residue on the palate. This is another sake I would like to repeat.
Good evening, Mr. Kappuku!
Masayo's Gekka is easy to drink and delicious.
It seems that there are more and more sake brands with new labels that I haven't had in a while, so I'd like to try them when I get settled down 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Kappuku 😃.
Is this your first time at Masayo-san? Congratulations to ㊗️ 🎉Masayo, as we affectionately call you ‼️ Please have another drink for him 👋!
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby!
I see that Jay & Nobby are also drinking Masayo this month. I don't see it very often in my neighborhood, but it was a delicious drink and I will do my best to repeat it!
It is a sake called "Nozawa".
It was served at the Fukushima Sake Festival.
Many of you may be familiar with Eisen, but this is a sake made by the Saekawa Sake Brewery in Nishiaizu.
When I asked at the venue why the sake was written in Eisen, I was told that "Saekawa" is actually treated as minor and they are not allowed to use it at this festival because the old characters are confusing. A story behind the story.
It has been a long story, but the taste is sweet and sour like a melon, with a nice sharpness. This is delicious.
It was a drink that made me feel the importance of branding and marketing, including the way the name reads.
By the way, they don't have it available in Tokyo because they don't grind it there. I want to buy it, but I can't. Too bad.
Also had this at the Fukushima Sake Festival in Shinbashi.
The aroma is slightly fruity, and although it is +2, it is not at all spicy. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink.
Thank you for the sake.
We received this at the Fukushima Sake Festival in Shinbashi!
Three tickets in a small plastic cup! (*5 tickets sold for 1,000 yen)
Other sake breweries have one or at most two tickets, but only this one has three!
I was curious, so I asked the brother (probably the brewery owner)...
He said, "It's a blend of junmai daiginjos from the past seven years!
I see, so that's how they make it.
Good sake x good sake = even better sake! That's what it means.
Now, how does it taste?
It's delicious! Slightly sweet, with a refined aroma,
It has a deep but not cloying flavor, and the taste is crystal clear.
It is a special brew, so it was a reasonable price.
I am rather grateful to have encountered it.
Thank you, Yumeshin Brewery, for making us dream.
Kunigon GOLD Label" by Kunigon Shuzo of Aizu!
Normally, I would not have the courage to buy a four-pack of this level sake myself, but today I was able to find it at the annual "Fukushima Sake Festival at Shinbashi SL Plaza" and enjoyed it.
It was labeled "dry," and to be honest, it's a bit different from my taste,
But the moment I saw it, I didn't hesitate to offer my ticket to get it!
When I took a sip, the clarity was truly exceptional. The taste was so clear that even my dull tongue could clearly distinguish the difference.
At this festival, you can buy a 5-pack of tickets for 1,000 yen, and the gold label is for 3 tickets.
The plastic cup is only 45 ml even when full, but I was still obsessed with this flavor and couldn't help but have another cup.
Zero regrets, rather a great decision.
I hope to see this gold label again next year at the Fukushima Sake Festival.
