This brewery's regular sake is really well made.
The robust flavor and sense of maturity are just right for my taste.
It is a sake that I want to keep on hand.
I forgot to upload this last summer.
Shuwashu nigori sake.
It is great for hot summer, but it is sweet, so it does not go well with meals at all.
I think this is better to be tasted by itself as an aperitif, for example.
However, if you drink this first, you will not be able to taste the next sake at all.
I bought it at a supermarket in Saku, but it seems to be a sake only available locally.
It is a junmai sake that costs less than 2,000 yen per bottle, so it is very cost-effective.
It is a light, dry sake that is refreshing and goes well with food.
A collaboration sake between Ropia and Izumibashi.
Izumibashi is the best. The moderate sense of maturity certainly goes well with meat.
Personally, I think it would go better with dark meats and dishes if it had a more matured taste, but I can't complain since it costs about 1,000 yen for a 4-ounce bottle.
I haven't had this sake since I used to live in Mie.
It doesn't have a ginjo feel at all, but it has a robust flavor and can be served cold or warmed, so it's not bad.
I bought it at a supermarket discount for about 900 yen.
I drank it with no expectations at all and found it to be quite tasty.
Seriously, this is a regular sake at this price? It tasted fresh and fruity.
It has a fresh and fruity taste, and because it is alsochueted, it is a little dry and refreshing.
Kikumasa is a great sake.
The first Koshino-Kanbai was a white label.
I wondered if the sake that was once considered a mirage could be used in the modern age. I wanted to give it a try, so I bought it.
It is a light and dry sake, but the balance between the robust flavor and the tangy stimulation of the alkaloids is quite good.
The spiciness becomes stronger when heated, and it is delicious.
It's not a sake that appeals to young people, but it's good for those who like the taste of traditional sake.
I would like to try a higher grade sake as well, since I can't tell how good it is from the white label alone.
This sake was purchased while traveling in Hyogo Prefecture.
It has an excellent balance of sweetness, spiciness, acidity, bitterness, and effervescence.
I especially like the fizziness.
If the fizziness is strong, it will disappear after 4-5 days of drinking a bottle, and it will lose its taste, but this is very good because the fizziness does not change until the bottle is finished.
And the cosmetics are not bad.
I found a good sake.
This is a regular sake from Hokosugi.
I had previously had a junmai sake from the same brewery, so I was sure before drinking it that it would be my kind of sake, but it turned out to be just right.
Colorless in terms of color, but with a matured flavor that is perfect for warming up.
This is a normal sake. I envy people in the southern part of Mie Prefecture who can buy this sake anytime.
It has a moderate sense of maturity, acidity and flavor reminiscent of lactic acid beverages, and is a quintessential Tetorigawa. Seriously delicious.
It is an all-rounder that can be served cold or hot. This is a great sake from Ishikawa.
Forgot to upload last summer.
Kido is a quintessential summer sake, and their summer sake is also very cosy.
It is dry, has a refreshing ginjo aroma, and finishes with bitterness, which is good for a summer sake.
Purchased during my stay in Ishikawa.
It has a very nice sweetness!
It has a rich sweetness and umami, and can be heated up. I would like to drink this as my daily evening drink, but I guess it will take some time to resume production.
Junmai sake with excellent cost performance.
Slightly sweet and full of flavor.
Can be served cold or hot.
I think I prefer this to Junsei because it is more cost-effective.
Delicious as always.
The hot sake is the best.
The fact that they stick to locally grown rice is also good.
I hope they continue to do well as a pure rice brewery.
I bought it somehow at a supermarket.
I tend to avoid major sake for some reason, but I do drink Kikumasa from time to time.
This one was fresh, fruity, and not bad.
It doesn't have the character of a local sake, but it is a very tasty sake.
Purchased while traveling in Ehime Prefecture.
I did not expect much from the name, but it was quite tasty.
It has a good balance of sweet and spicy, and can be served cold or hot, but I especially liked it hot. I especially liked it when it was heated up. It has more umami and sharpness when heated.
I would like to try another Junmai from this brewery as it is a very cost-effective sake.
