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 😊.

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 😁.

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!

Let's drink Shiga's sake series. At a drinking party at work, there was only "sake" in the all-you-can-drink menu for the first meeting, so we spent the second meeting with only beer and other drinks. The only sake available was Omi sake🍶. I was grateful for the sake! It is "New Hatsusakura Nama Hashidataro Jungin Ginbuki Nama Sake" by Yasui Sake Brewery in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture! Hatsuzakura aims to be that kind of sake that gently snuggles up to you, a good sake that brings a smile to your face. Taro Yasui, son of the 5th generation brewer, has been brewing sake as the 6th generation brewer since 2028 after training at Akishika Brewery and Kumazawa Brewery. New Hatsusakura's "Nama Hashimoto Taro" is brewed under the responsibility of the 6th generation brewer. There are various types of sake made from different rice, but this time it is made from Ginbukietsu. Ginfukiyo is a Shiga sake rice with Yamadanishiki as the mother and Tamakoe as the father 🌾. I don't have any notes, but it was delicious and I wanted to record it: ☺️ Ikashitaro with a retro label. I thought it was a lumpy classic sake, but when I drank it cold, it was very easy to drink, with a clean and moderate acidity of a clean sake yeast, and a soft mouthfeel with flavor! It made me happy and made me smile. ☺️ I also wanted to try it heated 🍶. Omi sake, I still want to deepen it!

The last of (6) at CHUIN over the past day. A cup of tears 🍶. This is a series of sake that seems to be drunk but in fact has never been drunk. Wakanami Honjozo. The concept of Wakanami is "the pushing wave of taste and the trailing wave of aftertaste. The goal is to create a sake with a taste that pushes in and a lingering aftertaste that recedes quickly, inviting you to feel as if you are drifting on a gentle wave. Wakanami Honjozo has a spectacular history, having won first and second prizes in the Ginjo and Honjozo categories of the Fukuoka Prefecture Sake Competition three times 🏆. The appearance is a very pale silver crystal. It has a mild and honest sweetness. Beautiful isoamyl acetate with melon, banana, and juicy. Slightly milky nuances. The rice aroma is not that apparent. Comes in smoothly. Modest sweetness and rounded acidity spread out without any tugging at all. The light attack of the alcohol is refreshing and pleasant, and the flavor is well rounded with just the right amount of umami. The lingering finish is medium short with a good tightness of bitterness. I personally like sake with flavor, and would like to have a bottle of this sake at home and drink it slowly and messily 🍶. It was an intoxicating sake that I can see why it enjoys great support. Thank you very much for the drink 😊. I wish Kawada-san a speedy recovery.

At chuin-san the other day ⑤. Sake we received while visiting the owner, Mr. Kawada Next is "BUNRAKU NEW WAVE Nama-Zume". This sake is produced by Kitanishi Shuzo, which brews Bunraku and Sairai in Saitama Prefecture. This is one of Bunraku's concept workers selection. It is a "first sake for the 2021 generation✕Kitanishi-shuzo's challenge" and is designed to be easily enjoyed by those who are new to Japanese sake. The sake has a very low alcohol content of 10% 😳. The appearance is a warm, almost transparent crystal. The aroma is...a bit unusual. A strange cohabitation of tropical and graininess🤔. Salty and watery texture. The graininess, including honest sweetness, characteristic acidity, and complexity, flows smoothly with a watery feel. The back palate has a light graininess and complexity. For those who like to guzzle in summer but not so much dry sake 🤔. For those who are used to sake, especially for those who like sweet and mellow sake like me, it may be a bit dry on the palate. I hope it will lead to the debut of sake in the age of smart drinks.

At chuin-san the other day Sake we received while visiting the owner, Mr. Kawada. Next is a sake recommended by Mr. Kawada. It is "ikkoku Manatsu". Shigeteru Shimada, aka "Shimada-kun," is a brewer who moved to Ibaraki Shuzo in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, where Rairaku is brewed. Shimada-kun, who has many deep-rooted fans, was probably involved in the brewing of this limited-edition brew with only one stone. The appearance is pale, warm yellow with greenish crystals. The nose is youthful sweetness. The nose is youthful sweet with youthful banana aromas and slight green nuances. Slight green nuances. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. The texture is light, with a thick attack of sweetness! The sweetness is strong but not clingy, with a gentle acidity and a sense of transparency from the low alcohol content, giving it an intoxicating feeling. From there, it flows smoothly and lightly, with a slightly rough graininess at the core. It finishes clean and has a short aftertaste. The taste is so thick and rich that you don't feel the low alcohol content. Delicious! 😊 I think it's the Tomekawa Sake Shop connection, but it's been a while since I've had Shimada-kun's sake, and I'm glad I did: ☺️

This is a sake released every year as a joint project of seven Miyagi breweries. This year, Urakasumi (Saura) and Hakurakusei (Shinzawa Brewery) are the leader breweries! This is Hakurakusei ver! The appearance is pale crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is modest, youthful, and refreshing. Slight pear and light citrus nuances. Fresh green bamboo. Rice aroma with a hint of white dumpling. Smooth texture. From the very moderate sweetness and refreshing acidity, a beautiful umami flavor spreads softly, and the dryness quickly comes forward and finishes crisply. The lingering finish is medium. This is another crisp, dry sake that I have not had in a long time 🍶. Each had a different intoxicating taste within the Miyagi sake character!

The texture is light and smooth. Very slight gasiness on the tongue. Light and reserved sweetness, with a firm acidity. It spreads in the mouth with a dry sensation, and while accompanied by a light stimulation, the sensation passes refreshingly from the back of the throat to the nose. The sharpness is good.

At CHUIN-san over the past day. We visited the owner, Mr. Kawada, again to visit him. We had drinks with Mr. Kawada's story. Here is the first one. Kiri-Tsukuba Honnen Junmai Usu Nigori (light nigori). It seems that only sake shops that went to Urasato Shuzoten for this sake can handle it, and there is almost no distribution outside of the local area 🤔. I did not even know it existed. The appearance is a light cloudy color with beautifully hazy gold tints. The aroma is mildly sweet and refreshing at the same time. Sweetness of green melon and banana, with a fresh, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili aroma. The usual unbearable aroma. The aroma of rice, like freshly pounded rice cake, is also rich. After a smooth entry, a gentle gaseous stimulation tickles the palate with a pleasantly intoxicating sensation. The sweetness, like melon juice, has a roundness to it, and the acidity that spreads quickly is gentle and juicy. It finishes with a good umami flavor and a refreshing dryness that passes through the nose. The sharpness is good, and the lingering aftertaste of slight bitterness is also intoxicating. It is too delicious. This is a little too good. It is my favorite among the active light nigori that I drank this year 🥰. I want to drink a bottle properly 🍶. I later asked the toji, Chikara Urasato, about it, and he told me that it is brewed irregularly only in the years when there is surplus rice for sake🥺.

Let's drink Shiga's sake series. The other day, I visited Takatsu Sake Shop in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, for the first time and got this "back-up sake" 🍶. It is a "Ninja Junmai Daiginjo" from Seko Shuzo in Koka City. However, this sake is a ninja, but not a ninja 🥷. The details of this junmai daiginjo-shu are shrouded in mystery. For some reason, the cap also says "Junmai Ginjo," which is another sign that it is an undercover sake! The appearance is a pale silver yellow. The aroma is gentle, gorgeous and cool. The aroma is sweet and aromatic with apple, freshly cut pear, melon and banana in the background. Honeysuckle, cool and refreshing chervil, and a faint laurel. Rice aroma about the level of Kamishinko. Fluffy and mellow texture. A beautiful, rich sweetness and a gentle, fine acidity spread softly in the mouth. The alcohol passes through the nose, and the clear umami flows smoothly. The fruity sweetness of the overtone is intoxicating, and the sharpness seems to disappear. The lingering aftertaste is long with a slight, beautiful bitterness. Fruity ginjo aroma and extremely fine taste. ☺️ No, it's really messed up and wonderful 😊. Even the best sake breweries can be lost due to the circumstances of the time. The world of sake is harsh and ephemeral... I had this while thinking about many things 🍶.

Local sake "Hanari", exclusive to Hakariya, Kamenoi Sake Brewery's retail store in Yufuin ♨️. It is a souvenir from my subordinate who went to Yufuin😄. I never knew there was another Kamenoi Sake Brewery in Oita besides Yamagata 😳. ✅Cold (room temperature). Slightly pale gold. Classic, gentle isoamyl acetate ginjo aroma, with a slight hint of maturity, shiitake mushrooms, cypress, and alcohol loss. Rice aroma is full. Very moderate sweetness, firm and smooth acidity. Gentle rice flavor with classic hints. The breadth of flavor is relatively slim. There is a slight bitterness and lingering scent. It should be ✅ warmed up 🍶. It is likely to warm up, so it should be served warmed! The ginjo aroma is plump, gentle and sweet. The acidity gives it a refreshing alcoholic aroma, but it also has warmth. The aroma of aging has disappeared, and the rice aroma, which is like rice cakes, has become more robust and fragrant. The mouthfeel is smooth and soft. The sweetness of the rice is deep and soft, and the firm acidity has a rounded, intoxicating balance. The spreading umami of the rice is plump and finishes with a slightly crisp acidity. The warm aftertaste, tinged with bitterness, has a faint lingering scent of ginjo incense. Yes, it is best heated. ☺️ The summer warmed sake (🍶) was also delicious! And most of all, the thoughtfulness of my men made me happy: ☺️

Let's drink Shiga's sake series. This is a Sandesi (300ml bottle) from Kosetsu (Fushe) ☃️ that I have been curious about for a while! From the supernatant □□□. Pale yellow-green in appearance, with a soft gas bubble 🫧 with a shrieking sound. The aroma is sweet and fresh. Aromas of slightly young green melon and moderately ripe banana. Refreshing acidity that leaves a slight hint of koji and rice cake-like rice aroma. There is a lively gas-like stimulation, a moderately rounded sweetness, and a soft acidity with a sense of tailings. From the mid-palate, there is a sense of rice and a clean umami flavor, and a sharp finish that seems to disappear. The lingering finish is moderate and leaves a slight bitterness. The sake is well mixed with the tailings and served nigoridashi. Warm greenish color, with gas bubbles rising in puffs 🫧. The aroma is very fresh and sweet. Melon, banana and citrus nuances. Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. Smooth texture. The gaseous stimulation is soft and mingled with the tailings. The moderate rice sweetness and nigori-like acidity spread sweetly and refreshingly. From the mid-palate, the soft umami of rice flows with a hint of bitter taste and finishes with a sharp finish. The lingering aftertaste is medium-short and slightly bitter after the release of the bubbles. Yes, it is a sparkling nigori sake that is not too sweet and a little dry 😊.

Good evening, Pon 😃. I bought it at the tourist information center in Otsu station 🍶. They have quite a lot of Omi sake, and it was cheap and looked drunken with the 3 sake tasting and drinking comparison: ☺️ It's super easy to drink and it's Sandesi, so I finished it in no time at all 😁.

Kamerei Mannen is brewed by Kamerei Shuzo in Saijo, the sake capital of Hiroshima. It is a junmai daiginjo-shu brewed with a luxurious polishing ratio of 45%. Shinpaku is a white, cloudy area that appears in the center of the rice, where the mycelium of koji mold enters the rice and leads to smooth fermentation. The shape of the core white varies, but Yamada-Nishiki is the most commonly known for its linear core white. It is a sign of excellent sake rice. The appearance is almost transparent silver. The aroma is fruity, soft and sweet. The fruity ginjo aroma is very soft and gentle, with hints of ripe melon and banana sweetness. The aroma of rice is modest and elegant, about the same level as that of Kamishinko. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. The firm yet beautiful and elegant sweetness is sweet in combination with the fruity ginjo aroma. The smooth acidity gives the taste a sharpness and a slightly tangy dryness. The soft, full, sweet and delicious taste is combined with a crisp dryness. It finishes with a soft and fluffy feeling, and then it finishes so that it disappears in a trance. The lingering finish is long and beautiful, with a balance of fruity and crisp dryness. Well, it is of high quality. It has a beautiful but deep flavorful sake design, and the fruity, deliciously dry taste that leans toward the mellow side is unbearable 😊.

Good evening, Mr. Aladdin. I heard from a Kamerei distributor that linear heart white rice is a strong rice 🤔. I heard that they are withholding the name after receiving complaints from the Tottori area 😅.

It's a Hiroshima specialty, isn't it? I wonder what's inside? Onigiri that goes with sake? Sake that goes well with rice balls? There are so many points I'm curious 🤔
Japanese>English
アラジン
Thank you, bouken 😊. I see, there are a lot of things 🤔. I guess it's similar to how Snow Goddess 🌾 can only be called "Snow Goddess" if the rice polishing ratio is less than 50% 😌. But I guess they still use it because it tastes so good ☺️

Good morning, Hirupeko 😃. I absolutely recommend Musashi 🍙. The rice is firm and each grain has an irresistible flavor... 🤤. It's basically never left Hiroshima, so if you go there, you should definitely try it! The inside is filled with kelp and salmon! Definitely goes well with a variety of sake 🤩.

Matsuo boast brewed by Kangiku Brewery. It is the only Kangiku standard sake that is relatively stable in its hometown of Chiba 🍶. I bought it at Yajima Sake Shop TDL when I stopped by on a business trip to Kanto 😊. Matsuo boast was brushed up in 2023 and became "Matsuo boast - Re:make-". It is a rare junmai-ginjo-shu (junmai-daiginjo-shu) among Kangiku's sake, which is mostly junmai-daiginjo-shu 🍶. There is also a raw version, but this time it is a once-heated version! The appearance is a slightly pale silver-green crystal. After some time, extremely fine gas bubbles float coarsely. The nose has aromas of young banana and melon, including a gentle yet floral and freshness. Discreetly serpentine and mineral. Powdery rice aroma is very rich, like freshly pounded rice cake. Slightly tart texture with a fine gasiness stimulation🫧. The palate is gentle, with a moderate but juicy sweetness and a gentle acidity that spreads familiarly. After the mid-palate, the wine recedes like an undertow, and then disappears without any change. The aftertaste is medium short. It goes well with Japanese food, Mexican nachos, and anything else. ☺️ Delicious. A classic sake that makes people living in Chiba Prefecture jealous 🍶.

Hello, Wakata 😃. It's moderately fruity and sharp, just like a classic Kangiku sake. ☺️ As a fan of Kangiku, I like the fact that Kangiku brewery takes care of its hometown, so I am envious of them 🤤 but I have no objection 😄.

Hi Gyve 😃 As a cold chrysanthemum fan, I wanted to drink Matsuo boast at home at least once, so this time I really wanted to: ☺️ Fingers crossed that your Kanto business trip gets in 🙏. If you do, I'll have a hard time deciding which liquor store to go to this time 😁.

This is a test brew by one of my favorite toji, Chikara Urasato. This year, too, it is a test brew by one of my favorite Tôji, Chikara Urasato! How about its evolution, deepening, and true value: ☺️ For more information about this sake, anyway, please read Mr. Chikara Urasato's X post: 🙇‍♂️🙇 □Opening day one... 🍶□□ The appearance is a slightly pale yellow, gold crystal, and after pouring, the sake cup is filled with fine gas bubbles🫧 after some time. The aroma is slightly youthful, gorgeous and fresh with a fresh, raw feel. Aromas of white grapes, strawberries, young yellow grapefruit, and young green-fleshed melon. Fresh, youthful yogurt, sour cream, and cheese aromas with a hint of acidity. The riceiness is about the size of a white egg dumpling. Moderately juicy sweetness. The acidity has a gentle, sake-like quality, including a pleasant gas kick. The crisp umami spreads to the end with a hint of bitterness. The finish is sharp, with a medium aftertaste of slight bitterness and a more subdued astringency. □Opened 7 days... 🍶□□ No major change in basic aroma or taste, with the impression of dairy and acidity coming forward. Almost no bitterness or astringency. The taste was cohesive, but the raw yeastiness came out strongly. The cheese sauce of the nachos went well with it. The aroma and flavor intensity without feeling the low alcohol was quintessential!

The R6BY All Japan New Sake Competition open tasting event was held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo on July 12, 2012. I was able to attend the event in conjunction with my training trip! It was a spectacular venue with 410 of the 809 R6BY sake entries and 410 of the prize winners all in one place 🍶🍶🍶🍶. The time limit was 3 hours⏰. I went to the event to at least taste 202 Gold Award-winning sakes. As a result, I was able to taste all the gold medal-winning sakes except for a few that were out of stock, as well as other prize-winning sakes that I was interested in! It was the first time in my life that I tasted more than 200 sakes in one day. It was a valuable tongue experience: ☺️ Checking in was my sake of choice, Kirizukuba 🍶. No notes... Modest but gorgeous aroma, soft velvety mouthfeel, sweetness that melts and opens in the mouth, extremely smooth and delicate acidity, round and soft umami, finish that seems to disappear rather than swallow, and a wonderful lingering finish. This is a drop of wine squeezed out by a master brewer who has concentrated his knowledge, experience, and skill. I would like to continue to study so that I can properly understand its value and convey it emotionally. It was an opportunity to get drunk. Thank you very much for your hospitality. By the way, I spent about 20 minutes in total at the beginning and the end of the event just trying out the "Sake Sensory Evaluation Standard Reagent" 😅. It's a rare chance to smell the individual aroma components correctly 😁.

Good evening, Aladdin. I see that you have attended a thorough training course on sake at your company 🤣I am surprised that you sniffed the reagent at the beginning and end and tasted more than 200 sakes! Now that you are enlightened about sake, I am more and more curious about your future 😊.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌛. That's a huge amount of sake to taste 200 sakes in 3 hours 😲and I didn't know that there were non-gold medal-winning sake as well 😓. [I didn't know about the Sake Sensory Evaluation Standard Reagent, I'd like to try it 🤔.

Good morning, Hirupeko 😃. It was really a training-like experience 🍶. I was not lucky enough to experience the reagent this time as I was not able to participate in chuin's event before! I know it's often difficult to do things solo, but I'd like to keep improving 😄.

Good morning, Gyve 😃. This time it was more about learning a new experience than having fun, but it turned out to be fun: ☺️ The reagent is sold by the Japan Brewers Association for about 50,000 yen and allows you to experience 19 different aromatic components such as capueti and vinegar iso👍.
