At my favorite standing bar CHUIN, which has been back in business for a long time, I had not enough time to talk with the owner, Mr. Kawada, so I went to the last 🍶 of Adjunct One's ④. We had a black beef with the store's recommended sticker "I like this". Meite Sake Brewery in Wakayama, I learned to read "nazu" 📝. This sake is named after the famous Kurogyu Lagoon in Kainan City, the brewery's hometown🐃. The appearance is crystal with yellowish green tints, almost transparent. The aroma is classic with a pleasant sweetness that is also fruity and slightly cool alcoholic. The rice aroma is also powdery and rich. In the mouth, it has a smooth texture. It has a very moderate rice sweetness and a classic acidity that seems to have a sharp core. The alcohol is crisply released, while the warmth and sweetness of the alcohol linger in the aftertaste. I personally am not a fan of classic sake, but this one has a freshness and fruity quality that is quite nice. The restaurant is getting crowded, so I'll leave it at this. After all, it is a special occasion to celebrate my sake master's discharge from the hospital, and as always, sake is a special thing to savor while quietly chatting with him 🍶. When Mr. Kawada is able to drink again, I will visit him again to discuss sake with him with my sake recommendations! Thank you for the sake 🍶.

A quick drink after paying a visit to the owner, Mr. Kawada, at his favorite standing bar, chuin, which has reopened after a long absence. Kameizumi Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake 🍶. Kameizumi's Junmai Ginjo-no-Filtered Nama-zake (raw sake) is made with CEL-24, an original yeast that is the pride of Kochi Prefecture. The front label with specifications such as sake degree, acidity, amino acidity, etc. comes to mind. However, other Kameizumi sake are available with labels that have a more subdued appearance, such as the one shown here, using a variety of sake rice and yeast. This one is Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu, brewed with Kochi Prefecture's original sake rice "Gin-no-Yume" and Kochi Prefecture's original yeast "AC-95" 🍶. The appearance is clear crystal, almost transparent. The aroma is more elegant and discreetly gorgeous than usual Kameizumi. Red apple, melon. The image of ethyl caproate and isoamyl acetate is well-balanced. Rice aroma about the size of a white dumpling. In the mouth, it has a smooth texture. It has a moderate sweetness and smooth acidity. The taste is mild, with a hint of fruity flavor to the modest floral overtone of the fragrance. It is more suitable for sake lovers than the usual Kameizumi, and we will move on to the next one.

Sake and Otsumami Chuin Shinmachi, a standing drinking establishment that has reopened for business after a long absence. After paying our respects to the owner, Mr. Kawada, we had a quick drink (Part 2)🍶. Omine 3-grain Yamadanishiki unfiltered unpasteurized sake from Omine Shuzo (Mine City, Yamaguchi Prefecture). Second glass and already running to my taste 😁. By the way, Omine's 3-grain is over 50% according to the rice polishing ratio, 2-grain is 30-49%, and 1-grain is under 29%😳. Appearance is near transparent, crystal with a slight greenish tinge. The aroma is very mild and sweet. Melon and white grape, if strong. The white board marker type volatile aroma is cool. Rich rice aroma, freshly pounded rice cake. As soon as it hits the palate, a smash of ridiculously dark sweetness! I was caught off guard because the aroma was so mild! A juicy, rich, yet clear, fruity sweetness that you would not expect to come from rice. The slight gasiness is also pleasantly intoxicating. The volatile aroma is glossy and fragrant, with a hint of bitterness and umami that flows through and finishes with a sharp edge. The lingering finish is medium-long, leaving an astringent taste on the tongue. Dark, sweet, I love it! I should have bought this for home drinking! With the happy regret that I should have bought it for home drinking, I moved on 🍶.

At "Sake and Otsumami CHUIN Shinmachi", a standing drinking establishment in Shinmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka City. The owner, Mr. Kawada, was discharged from the hospital and reopened for business after a long time! I hadn't been able to visit him at all recently, but I visited to see him to celebrate his discharge from the hospital. After greeting him for the first time in a while, we had a quick drink (1). We started with "Tsururei Omachi Special Junmai" from Aoki Shuzo (Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture). It is a special junmai sake with 55% polished rice and 17% alcohol by volume. It has been stored in a snow cellar for about five months! The appearance is clear crystal, almost transparent. The aroma is sweet and clean with isoamyl acetate. Ripe and sweet banana, melon, and a hint of acidity like ripe apricots. Slightly refreshing with a hint of chervil. Slightly rice aroma with a hint of white dumplings. In the mouth, it is smooth and silky. A refreshing sweetness and a gentle yet crisp acidity. Strong attack with 17% alcohol by volume. The lingering aftertaste leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue. While the robust flavor is very mellow, the sense of rice is beautiful and delicious. ☺️ I want to become an expert who can select such sakes in a natural way 🍶.

Yamada-Nishiki from Hanayu🌾. Fruity and luscious aroma, rich sweetness, beautifully core umami, and a lingering aftertaste that makes one lose oneself in ecstasy, coloring the ennui season as it moves from autumn to winter 🍂. The bottle was intentionally aged in ice for a year before opening. The appearance is slightly pale yellow with hints of green and a very slight hazy crystal. The nose is very sweet and elegant. Sweetness and freshness of freshly cut ripe honey apples, ripe melon and banana. Acacia seems to overflow from the glass. There is also a hint of freshness like chervil. The aroma of rice is also elegant. The texture is mellow and slightly thickened. At first touch, the sweetness seems less than expected, but at once a rich, juicy sweetness spreads in the mouth. The mild acidity complements the rich sweetness. The alcohol is released in an elegant manner, and the flavor has a beautiful breadth. The sharpness is very clean, and you can taste a firm umami flavor as you swallow. The long, firm finish allows you to immerse yourself in the wonderful flavor, with a hint of bitterness and a slight astringency lingering on the tongue. Mmmm, this is wonderful. Adult sweet and tasty fruity with a lot of sex appeal in its elegance 😊. I enjoyed it 🍶.

After polishing and polishing and polishing Miyamanishiki🌾, the world of rice polishing ratio 11% is reached. Polishing alone takes more than 220 hours = 9 full days. Only the core white of the polished rice is used to brew this drop of soul. It is truly a forbidden sake. The appearance is a shiny crystal with a hint of gold. The aroma is gorgeous yet ladylike. The nose is gorgeous yet ladylike, with hints of apple, pear, melon, and white grape. The freshness of youth coexists with a moderately ripe sweetness. Acacia overflows elegantly from the glass. A veil of rice aroma like fresh rice powder. The texture is smooth and silky and translucent. The clear and condensed sweetness of the rice and the beautifully fine acidity create a harmony of condensed flavors while maintaining a sense of transparency. It is simply beautiful and completely free of any cloying taste. It spreads smoothly in the mouth, and although it is dry, there is almost no dryness. It is enveloped by the clear rice flavor and disappears like water soaking into a stone. It is so beautiful that the word "sharp" is unnecessary. The lingering aftertaste is long and thin like an airplane cloud. Tranquility, beauty, nobility, chastity, and elegance. The quintessence of the core of Miyamanishiki🌾 has been condensed. Polishing rice is not always a good thing, but this kind of sake is also wonderful. I felt gratitude in my heart to the 🌾 farmers, the sake brewery, and the rice gods.

All of them seem to be rather broken nowadays, partly due to the advancement of technology 😁.

Haruyingin Sake One of the most difficult sake names to read! Shunoten" Fugaku is a junmai ginjo-shu for all-purpose food sake 🍶. The Manya Brewery in Yamanashi Prefecture was founded in 1790. When it was first founded, it brewed "Ichiriki Masamune". When Tekkan Yosano and his wife Akiko visited the brewery, the name of the sake was changed to "Shunoten" that year in reference to a poem written by Yosano Akiko, "Horyuji Temple is the place to go, Kai no osake (miki) Haruyusingu no makasaru kura". 🍶Comments📝. Slightly pale yellow in appearance. Mild but sweetly fragrant ginjo aroma. Moderately ripe banana and melon isoamyl acetate. Rice aroma about the size of a white dumpling. Smooth texture. Soft and moderate sweetness and good acidity. Gentle ginjo aroma in the overtone. When the alcohol is released, the dry dryness is somewhat pronounced. The middle to the end of the bottle is a little slim, but it contains a good amount of umami and has a good sharpness. The lingering aftertaste is medium with a warm sensation as the alcohol seeps in. There is nothing sharp about this sake, and it is moderately dry in a good sense. It has a ginjo aroma, but it is gentle and does not seem to interfere with anything, so it would be good as a food sake when you have a variety of dishes at once, like at a hotel buffet.

Good evening, Pon 😃. This sake is still better because of the strong romanization, but if it were only in kanji, it would probably be at the level of the first grade of the Japanese Sake Names Test 😁.

Native rice, Homase🌾, is one of the signature sake rice that symbolizes the Hanakoka Sake Brewery. And "nōzō" is an indicator of the concept that "all elements, from farming to brewing, are always one and the same". In this case, the "Roku-no-brew" is brewed with (1) Hozu grown in the Kikuchi River basin (3) without fertilizers (4) without pesticides (2) in a "nama-hashiroshi" style (5) brewed in wooden vats (6) with no yeast added. It has a pale yellow-green appearance. The gasiness is vigorous, and when poured, it bubbles and fizzes. The aroma is sweet and fresh with a glossy and colorful flavor. Moderately ripe Japanese pear. Other aromas are pear and ripe melon. The sense of sake yeast is modest, with a slight wheyiness. The wooden vat feeling is also elegant. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. The smooth, smooth entry and deep sweetness is very juicy and fruity, like pear juice. The acidity is fine and fine. After the fine bubbles of vigorous gas boil off, a rounded sweetness flows through the wine. The end of the bottle has a beautifully wild bitterness and astringency, with a sharpness that seems to seep into the wine. The lingering finish is long, and the remnants of the beautiful bitterness and astringency allow you to enjoy Hozu. Toward the end of drinking, it becomes orizzled, and the sweetness, acidity, and bitterness intertwine with each other, giving the rice a much stronger flavor. It was great until the last cup of bliss 🍶.

Hibi Jozo brewed this sake from one of Hananoka Shuzo's signature rice varieties, Homasu. It is rare for other sake breweries to brew HOMASENE! It has the clarity of Hinichi and the wildness of Homasu, making it truly Hinichi's Homasu 🌾🍶. ︎︎ The appearance is a near-transparent silver color. Slightly subdued gasiness. Aroma is fresh and sweet. Impression is pear. Very similar to Sancho Hozu, but with a refreshing solidity that has lost its sweetness and glaze. Aroma of clean whey and rice aroma about the level of Kamishinko. Smooth texture. The manicured aroma is overwhelming, spreading at once from a modest sweetness. The acidity is gentle and very moderate, and the gassy sensation runs through leaving a light stimulation. On the tongue, one can enjoy the flowing transparency and the beautiful sweetness and umami that slightly tingles in the midst of it. Toward the end, the bitter bitterness that is typical of Hozu can be felt, while the sharpness of the taste seems to blend in. The lingering aftertaste is medium short, with a pleasant lingering clean bitterness. Nichinichi has a very low alcohol content of 11 degrees, but so that it does not become thin and unsatisfying, the umami and flavor of the rice are properly carried and expressed as a sense of transparency! Nichinichi Hozu furthermore expressed a tight and mature taste with the wildness of Hozu. ☺️

I want to drink all the sake from the breweries in Shiga Prefecture! This is for those who want to drink all the sake breweries in Shiga Prefecture! You can taste sake from all 30 breweries in Shiga with this one bottle! (But not all at once 😁) All Shiga Junmai Sake 🍶, an assemblage of 30 Shiga sakes in one bottle! This year's Final is a blend of equal amounts of sake from all 30 breweries in the Shiga Prefecture Sake Brewers Association! Cold Pale yellow in color. The aroma is gentle and refreshing with a hint of sweetness. Isoamyl acetate type sweetness and fresh aroma like chervil and laurel. There is a nuance of acidity. The aroma of rice, like freshly pounded rice cakes, is rich and robust. Soft and smooth, the gentle and straightforward sweetness of the rice is followed by a fine, firm acidity. The alcohol passes softly and lightly into the nose. The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt on the tongue, but it is rather dry. It retains a warmth with a good sharpness and a firm umami taste when swallowed. It is best served hot. The aroma of rice cooked in a kettle adds a subtle aroma of fluffiness. The sweetness of the rice increases slightly and the acidity spreads gently and more finely. The rice flavor is full from the end of the bottle to when swallowed, and it is moderately thick and intoxicating! I enjoyed this Shiga sake.

Akisakura is a fire-aged sake brewed from improved Shinkou🌾 with a junmai, raw yeast and wooden vat brewing process. The cute sweet and sour taste is irresistible🍶. We also compared it with Nichinichi brewed with the same sake rice: ☺️ 　⚪︎ appearance and aroma⚪︎ The aroma is discreetly sweet and sour. Plum, a soothing sweetness of dried fruit accompanied by the freshness of acidity. The modest aroma of wooden vats and the milky aroma of the sake yeast are moderately balanced. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling from koshinko. 　⚪︎Taste, etc. ⚪︎ Light on the palate with a slight gasiness. The modest sweetness and cute acidity spread sweetly and sourly. This cuddly sensation is unbearable. ☺️ In the middle part of the bottle, the sweet and sourness flows with a sense of transparency, and you can also taste the beautiful umami of rice. The wooden vat is also pleasantly intoxicating, and the last part of the bottle is closed with a slight bitterness and a slight astringent taste. The lingering taste of mature bitterness and astringency is medium. Compare with Shinmasa colors cosmos and Nichinichi Kaizen Shinkou... 🍶】. The Nichinichi is more gassy and has a more transparent and fine line on the palate. Cosmos has a sweet and sour impact, and the overall flavor is dark and bright. The characteristic acidity and pleasantly intoxicating bitterness that is typical of the improved Nobukou are common, while the Nichinichi has a sense of transparency, and the Cosmos has an impact with each sip! Very interesting 😊.

Sake brewed by Mr. Hidehiko Matsumoto of Hibi Brewery from a modified Nobukou🌾 sake that he received from Mr. Yusuke Sato of Shinmasa Sake Brewery. The sake is designed to be low-alcohol, clear, and thin, with a beautiful, calm aroma, beautiful sweetness and umami, and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. You can feel the goodness of the improved Nobukou, a sake that is typical of Nichinichi. 　⚪︎ Appearance and aroma: ⚪︎ The appearance is a silver-green color that is almost transparent. As soon as it is poured into a glass, fine gas bubbles float in a beautifully scattered manner. The aroma is very calm. In addition to banana, there are hints of sweetness and freshness reminiscent of apricots and raisins. The rice aroma is almost imperceptible. 　⚪︎Taste, etc. ⚪︎ Very light and translucent first touch. A fine gas-like stimulation flows through the taste with a swirl. Transparent sweetness and fine acidity. From the mid-palate onward, the flow of clear, light, yet flavorful and beautiful umami can be felt. It finishes nicely with a very slight bitter astringency. The lingering finish is medium short. The taste is truly in the transparency. It looks like you can spare a bottle of Yongboto 😊. I'm also comparing it to Shinmasa Cosmos, but that's for another time 📝.

The trainees I was taking care of on the job have left my nest 🐣 and I opened this bottle to wish them the best. I opened the bottle wishing them all the best. The appearance is a slightly pale, shiny yellow-green. The aroma is fresh with just the right amount of sweetness. The aroma is fresh with a sense of blue melon. From behind the sweet and refreshing aroma of young green melon and unripe strawberries, a deep and elegant sweetness like grapes also peeks out. The aroma of rice is about the same level as that of Kamishinko. The texture is smooth and slightly smooth. The sweetness is quickly absorbed by the tongue, and then a refreshing acidity mixes in nicely with a sense of coolness. The refreshing sweetness, like that of a makuwa melon, is clear and not clingy, giving it a kind of elegance. While the alcohol brings a sense of dryness to the nose, it also gives a beautiful, rich rice flavor. It has a sharpness that seems to fade away. The lingering finish is long with a beautiful bitterness and a slight astringency. The cool, dry taste has a good umami and a very moderate sweetness that flows beautifully. Since it has a strong sense of alcohol especially at low temperatures, it is best to drink it cool or chilled to feel the flavor and get drunk easily. On the 7th day after opening the bottle, the taste had settled down and rounded out, and it was well integrated into the flavor that I like. ☺️

Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃. No really, I feel like praying when I think of the harsh world of practice that awaits us in the future ☺️ I tend to give meaning to words when sake is involved, but then again, I'm getting old 😁.

On the way home from a business trip, I drank a bottle without the energy to open a pub in the crowded Shinkansen. Nigori White, a sparkling "Kakushiaji" with sake. It is a sparkling liqueur with 3% alcohol by volume, made with junmai nigori sake from the Shotoku Shuzo brewery in Kyoto. It is manufactured by Oenon Product Support in Hyogo. Kakushiaji is available in two varieties, the other being a "fluffy mint" made with Junmai sake from Asakai in Iwate Prefecture. The other is "Funwari Mint," made with pure rice sake from Asakai in Iwate Prefecture. 　⚪︎ scent⚪︎ I couldn't check the appearance because I didn't have a glass 😌. The aroma is sweet and refreshing, like a lactobacillus drink. It also has a rummy feel. 　⚪︎Taste, etc. ⚪︎ The first touch of the drink is exactly what it sounds like, a calpis sour. It is a schwashy lactic acid bacteria beverage type sour. Finally, in the mid-part of the drink, one can slightly taste the rice flavor of nigori sake and the flavor of the tailings. By the time it kicks in with the carbonation, the initial lactobacillus drink-type sweetness has receded considerably, and if you look for it, you can even detect a slight bitterness that seems to be nigori. The aftertaste is short, with residues of sweet nigori sake. It is quite an interesting drink, although to be honest, the sake feeling is quite diluted. The amount of sake used is unknown, but as the product name "Kakushiaji" suggests, sake seems to be only a hidden flavor 🍶.

A drink between summer and autumn🍶. It's still hot, but I wanted to miss the passing summer. The glossy, fresh, sweet aroma, cute acidity, and vanishing sharpness reminded me of sparklers that fleetingly disappear at the end of a summer night, leaving tiny sparks 🎇. In a play of colors... 🍶. A warm yellow-green. The aroma is sweet and glamorous, with fine grains of dregs in the misty ogara. The aroma is sweet and glossy with a touch of freshness. Sweet and soft ripe melon, ripe and green banana, lychee. Sweet yogurt and lactic acid beverage. The subtle koji taste is clean and refreshing. The rich rice aroma harmonizes with the overall aroma and is quite intoxicating. ☺️ From the gentle, round, dark sweet attack, the chippy, cute acidity is tinged with the flavor of tailings and spreads quickly and vividly. It is fruity and juicy, with rice nuances coming forward. From the mid-palate, the softness of the ogara-meshi is followed by the light umami of rice and a slight bitterness, which disappears in a whiff. The aftertaste has a lactic acid bacteria drink feeling. The lingering finish is moderate, with a sweet lingering aroma, a cute acidic residue, and a beautiful bitter bitterness. A lactobacillus drink for adults with half the sweetness of a lactobacillus drink replaced by the delicious taste of rice 😊.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌛. I didn't know there was a "back" version of Senkou "Senkohana", but it has been commercialized this season 🥰. I can't help but wonder what kind of flavor "sparkler origami" has: ✨️

Good evening, Gyve 😃. I have a weakness for backsides and lapses, I react when it's "backside", but when you said "only the backside is origamist", I had to drink it as an origamist: ☺️ I wanted to compare the drink with the front if possible 😄

Good evening, Aladdin 😃. I've seen some people say that the back side is sweet 🧐 but when it comes to Tochigi sake and Senkou, I tend to loose my J&N standards😅 I can't stop myself from trying it 🤗 I haven't bought it yet 😆. I'm sure you love Tochigi sake too 🥰!

SAKE🍶 from California available at convenience stores It is available at Lawson and Famima stores nationwide and is available in two sakes at the same time: Classic and Yuzu! I compared them and I'll take the YUZU 📝. YUZU □YUZU □ Slightly pale orizzled silver green. It has a strong gassy feeling 🫧 with large gas bubbles rising and popping. The aroma is youthful and cool with a good scent of yuzu. It has a moderate rice flavor. The texture is smooth and gentle with a hint of oriki. The gaseous stimulation spreads on the tongue and lightly bounces in the mouth. Immediately after taking a sip, you may think it is a gentle rice flavor, but then, along with the gaseous sensation, a fresh aroma of bitter yuzu peel and a sour taste spreads, giving you the sensation of eating a yuzu! After the yuzu aroma runs through with the gas🫧, the moderate sweetness and umami of the rice remains, balancing the slightly subdued yuzu feeling. ☺️ The bitterness including the sweetness of the yuzu is pleasantly intoxicating at the end of the bottle, and it finishes softly. The aftertaste is short and sharp. Very easy to drink and delicious. ☺️ The base is a proper sake! The cool acidity from the white malted rice and the carbonation go well together to give it a refreshing and light feeling, making it easy to drink! I think it is very intoxicating as a gate SAKE 😊. (the rest is price...) Thanks for the treat 🍶.

Hi Aladdin, I found it at Yasubeyesan's house and bouken-san was in a hurry to buy it, so I also rushed to capture it 🤣I was convinced that the sake equivalent would be 450 yen for 250 ml and 1,350 yen for 750 ml 😁.

Good evening, Nemuchi 😃. I didn't know it was at Yasbay's house! I'm looking forward to Nemuchi's feedback: ☺️ It's a fair price for sake, but it's a bit tough when your rival is a strong type of sake, so you have to appeal well 🤔.

Kinjaku is freshly squeezed. After 7 months of ice aging, the bottle was opened on Obon. ☺️ Fruity and fresh. It is rich, yet beautiful and refreshing. I was in a state of ecstasy as I sipped the sake, thinking, "Oh, I love this sake...". I enjoyed my favorite Kinjaku. The exterior is crystal with a pale shiny gold tint. The aroma is indescribably fresh and gorgeous. Aromas of fresh green apple, sweet honey apple, and pineapple. Refreshing acacia overflows from the glass. A rummy feel with a chili coolness. Solid rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. First attack is...ah, Kinjaku. Smooth texture with even a slight thickening. Stimulation of gassy sensation that gently caresses the palate. The sweetness like honey apple and the fine acidity with freshness spread juicy and fresh. The taste is indescribable and irresistible. From the mid-palate, the spread of sweetness and deliciousness is complemented by the clear, clean flavor of the rice. The fragrance is very fruity, with a sweetness reminiscent of apples and gummies, and a beautiful aroma of rice. The bitter accents at the end of the bottle are also effective, and the lingering finish is moderately tight. Mmmm, I like it 🥰. Right in the middle of my favorite 🫶.

Sweet, delicious, and rich sake brewed with Jusui, the fresh gasiness of the sake directly pumped from the tank 🫧, and the punch of unfiltered raw sake 🤜! It's been a long time since I've had my mind blown! This is a drunken sake 🥰. I bought it at Takatsu Sake Shop in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture! The appearance is pale yellow in color. A gaseous feeling with bubbles floating in the sake cup. The aroma is sweet, glossy and fresh. Sweet aromas of well ripened banana and melon-like weight. And yet, it contains a refreshingly cool sense of selfeil. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. The mouthfeel is smooth with a gentle stimulation of lively gasiness. The palate is a rush of pleasantly intoxicating sweetness that overflows with fruity notes. The fresh acidity balances the fruity sweetness. While the fresh, bouncy, rich flavor is overwhelming, the rich umami of the rice flows with the sweetness, and the gasiness and acidity are light. The nose has a sweet, rich nuance with a slight hint of nail polish that gives it a cool impression. There is also a sense of umami core with a freshness. There is also a bitter tightness from the last part of the bottle, and the sharpness is not bad. The lingering aftertaste is long. Deliciousness that makes you grin and smile. ☺️ Well, I was a bit impressed after a long time 😳 I want to spread this kind of sake!
