It is a challenge to express the flavor of the rice straight away, using only 10% polished Koshihikari from Chiba Prefecture. Am I tone-deaf, or do I detect a faint aroma and flavor like that of ginjo? It is very good looking 🎵.

Sanpo-yoshi" is named after the Omi merchants' business maxim, "Good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for the world. This junmai ginjo was brewed with local Yamada-Nishiki, and the refreshing flavor typical of Yamada-Nishiki was enjoyable and easy to drink. It is an all-around drinker that does not interfere with food 🎵.

This is a challenging bottle brewed with Yamadanishiki, which is rare in Hokkaido. It seems to be aimed at a dry and refreshing taste, but it also has a lot of umami. Umakuchi? No, it is not fruity. It's not fruity, and I don't know what it is. After the first sip, it becomes easier to drink after a while and seems to mature when exposed to air 🎵. As a result, it was delicious 😋.

I promise you that this series of 🎶. I never miss it 😉. It is fresh, tasty, light and dark and will go well with any dish 😃. For a drinker who loves Saku, it's right in the middle of the strike ⚾💨. The first original rice for sake brewing in Mie prefecture, "Kami no Ho", was created in 2007. The name "Kami no Ho" comes from the fact that this rice was born and grown in the land of God. This product, made from 100% of such rice, is a junmai ginjo-shu with a mellow aroma and a gentle flavor. (Exhibit:https://sakemuseum.com/products/31427-1/ )

Spring is a fun time with more and more new sake coming out❗. In fact, this is the first time I have seen this brand. I had an image of it as a rough and tumble sake, but it was surprisingly well put together, and the sweetness was expected to come on strong, but I thought it had an interesting finish with a sharpness that held back the sweetness, or a finish that was more dry. I remember that the legendary Niigata brewery is good at making light, refreshing wines 🎵. Well, it was a good encounter 😋.

Doshiri junmai namaishu mouthfeel❗ It's a little fruity ginjo, but it's like a chunky fruity. The rambunctiousness is also a good 🎶 to go along with the food. The inside of the fancy wrapping is a simple and cool label, but the lively sake was delicious 🎶.

This one is said to be difficult to obtain and famous in the Tokyo metropolitan area. And they say it's only available in stores💦. It's a very fresh, juicy, fruity, impactful liquor 😃. It's a bit of a riot in the mouth at first, but then the flavors settle down and it just slides right down your throat 😋. Maiu🎶.

Sounkyo♨️ located in Daisetsuzan National Park ♨♨️ at Sounkaku Grand Hotel It is said that there were as many as 16 breweries in Asahikawa during the Meiji era. One of them is called Hatsuichi, which is a brand name that comes from the Arai Brewery. The Sounkaku Grand Hotel here is run by a parent company called Arai Kensetsu, which seems to be a descendant of the Arai Brewery. Sake must have been an important snack item in the history of the original settlement of Asahikawa, Hokkaido, from Fukui Prefecture. Hatsuichi, brewed on consignment by Asahikawa's Takasago Brewery, has a rich, full flavor as Junmai, with a fruity yet robust finish that is enjoyable and goes well with food 🎵. I hope to see you again with one of the limited edition bottles. You can get it at the hotel store, but I would like to enjoy it with plenty of yuka♨️ again 😋.

Senzuke special junmai sake is filled and aged for several days in Yoshinosugi cedar barrels, which are carefully selected for barrel sake. It has a mild taste with a subtle cedar aroma that soothes the soul. This is the kind of guy who, as I later learned, is a shame that drunks don't recognize the scent of cedar. It is junmai (pure rice), but it is the type of sake that you can drink easily and enjoy it 🎶.

This is the 10th year that the company has brewed a project mainly for farmers, and is completely reserved for made-to-order production, which is very significant since it is said that in the past they did not even sell it to the general public. The label also states that it is made to Ukegawa Farm's Comet specifications. It is fresh, but well balanced in flavor and richness, and is my kind of delicious sake 💕. The Farmer's Sake Project is a project that started in 2012 with the slogan "Let's make the best sake in Japan with all Asahikawa ingredients," and with the cooperation of Asahikawa citizens who agreed to the project, they planted rice, harvested rice, and experienced sake brewing. As a sake lover, I am very interested in this project 🎵.

A glass of sake from a long-established sake brewery in Kochi, Shikoku 🍶. It is said to be the first Shiboribori brewed with Matsuyama Mitsui, a sake rice unfamiliar to those who grew up in northern Japan. The mouthfeel is straightforward and plain for a junmai namaishu, but as expected, the slight acidity is an enjoyable aspect of a fresh first-brewed sake. It is a delicious sake that is easy to pair with seafood 🎵.

Thanks to the stable level of sake in Gifu, we can try new brands with confidence. This is the first sake brewery I've ever had the pleasure of visiting, and I'm not familiar with the term "rice-free. I read that it is a raw, unblended sake, just as it was pressed. It has a clear melon-like fruity aroma, a sharp acidity, and a thick umami flavor that seems to dance in the mouth with the complexity of the heaviness of the raw sake 🎶. At first it felt heavy and I was worried that I would get bored during the process, but over time the acidity and umami became just right and I was able to finish a bottle clean 😋. I knew Gifu would do it ✌️.

A glass of Momota from the different rice series released by Mansaku no Hana🎶. Junmai sake, from the various rice varieties 😊. Very well-balanced, with a little bit of a dark umami flavor that I like ❗. According to the official website, this sake rice was newly developed by Akita Prefecture and has been produced as a test brew for several years, but each brewery will begin full-scale shipments in 2021. Hyakuden is strongly descended from Yamada-Nishiki. Both parents, Misato Nishiki and Aki-kei Sake 718, are descendants of Yamada Nishiki. -Mamoru Mansaku no Hana Momota 70- Specific name: Junmai Once-fired Unpasteurized Sake Koji Rice : Akita Hyakuda Kake rice: Akita Hyakuda Rice polishing ratio: 70 Alcohol content: 16%.

Buy the jackets 🎶 buy the bottles 😉. The design is cool with a white base color and looks delicious 😋. The mouthfeel is refreshing and slightly tasty, just like the pure white image. As it is on the official website, it looks like this 😃. Yuki Mizuki Junmai Daiginjo is made from 100% Hokkaido rice suitable for sake brewing, with a milling ratio of 40%, and is characterized by a subtle sweetness and a ginjo aroma. It has a gentle, pleasant ginjo aroma that spreads on the palate, and a rich, pure, yet clean and crisp taste. The product package is white to represent the "silvery white world of Hokkaido," and the label design is a striking combination of the two, depicting the waxing and waning of the moon in a "yukiwa" pattern that has been popular among the common people since the Heian period (794-1192). The hexagonal box is designed to resemble snow crystals, and is recommended as a gift. The bottle has a capacity of 720 ml, is priced at 3,520 yen (tax included), and will be sold exclusively within Hokkaido.

I'm always thankful for the level of Saga's sake 🎶. It's delicious. Toichi has a good sense of balance among them 😊. Incidentally, I heard that even the Gomachida Sake Brewery, which grows its own Yamada Nishiki rice for sake brewing, uses 100% Yamada Nishiki to make Toichi's signature Junmai-shu. Can it be said to be the face of the Gomachida Sake Brewery? Because she's a beautiful woman 🎵. Happo Bijin? No, it's a compliment to its gentleness that goes well with any dish 💕.

"Gurigori-gurigori-gurigori-gurigori-"⁉️👀👀️‼️ It's called "Tokunokoro" in nigori sake, and it's amazing 💦. Surprised at the first sip 👀️ lol I'm not sure if it's okay to introduce it here if it's already in the liqueur category instead of the sake category. Well, it's a drink, so what the heck 🍶.

The sake was pressed and bottled on the morning of Risshun, the coldest day of the year, and all the local breweries worked together to label the sake and bring it home to be displayed in the stores. Reference https://www.meimonshu.jp/modules/xfsection/article.php?articleid=375 It is a fresh, slightly mischievous, and delicious Junmai Ginjo. It's a good omen, and that just makes it taste that much better😃. I hope they bring back the early morning cold ❄️ labeling at the brewery soon😊.

I actually got two bottles from a local brewery, Sanzen-Sakura🎵. This one is a fun drink that leaves 60% of the rice in the junmai and direct pumping, and along with the honest face, wildly riotous in the mouth, with just a hint of sizzle. Aisan is a rice that has represented Sanshiburyu since its days in Gifu Prefecture, and I wondered what kind of marriage it would make with the underground water of Mount Daisetsu in Hokkaido. The Aisan series has been available in limited quantities since the move, but it seems to be hard to find. Fortunately, I've been able to taste most of them, but each one is quite unique and I've enjoyed each encounter. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see what kind of brew you'll get next time😃.

It has been two seasons since the brewery moved to Hokkaido, and the brewing process has become more stable. Even though the Comet, which tends to be light, has been polished to the Daiginjo level, it still retains a good amount of umami and has a delicious, rich aftertaste. I was a little concerned about the sweetness in the latter half of the bottle, but I was able to enjoy a good marriage by combining it with food. I enjoyed it very much😋.

Nice to meet you, kan-san. Yes, we are a sake brewery from Gifu. They still use Aizan, which is well known in Gifu, and they are also trying to blend in with the local community by experimenting with Comet and Kitashizuku, which are good rice for sake brewing from Hokkaido🎶.

When I think of sake from Hiroshima Prefecture, I think of Higashi-Hiroshima, but this is from a sake brewery in Kure City. It has a sweet and refreshing taste that I like, with a nice lingering aftertaste😃. The rice and yeast are both from Hiroshima, so I guess it's a regional flavor🎶.
