I bought this for New Year's, but I drank another sake and opened it today. It has a sweetness like muskmelon followed by a hint of alcohol...I definitely prefer it tomorrow... ❣️. I noticed that it was empty.......ah~!

Sake is not supposed to be poured in such a large amount... This is my first time to drink raw sake. I can definitely taste a hint of sourness or yeast? I can feel the bacteria. It's also a dark, cloudy sake. It's also my first experience with 18 degrees alcohol. It's also my first time to drink something that's not dry. Alcohol: 18.5 degrees Rice polishing ratio 70%.

In fact, I was going to drink the Mute Mukane nama sake, but the alcohol content of 18 scared me so I decided to drink this one. Even so, it was super dry, with a sake strength of +11. I didn't chill it, so it took a while to cool down. I didn't chill it, so I served it at room temperature for the first time in a while, and it was mild. It was mild. Perhaps it's best to drink dry sake like this. I would like to pair Tosa sake with fish. Alcohol content: 15 degrees Rice polishing ratio: 60%. Sake content: +11

It was described as "super dry" and I imagined it to be of the previous Kure class, but it was mildly dry. What was that? But apparently the sake level is 15 degrees (Kure is 10). They use 100% Tosa Rei rice, which I love. Dori dori! Gorgeous! But it has a piquant aftertaste. I'd like to pair it with sashimi or dried fish. I would like to pair it with sashimi or dried fish. Dangerous...ministry! It's only Wednesday during the week and I'm 120% fatigued, so maybe the super-hot taste feels mild. Two more days to go...all you workers out there, let's drink sake and do our best. Alcohol: 16.5 Rice polishing ratio: 60 Sake degree: 15 degrees The brewery is located in my hometown, Shimanto Town, Takaoka County.

This time, I bought a +10. It's so dry! Is this what you call dry? The aroma is mild, but the aftertaste is more intense than when you put it in your mouth... I've never had anything like this before. The alcohol content isn't that much, but it's the strongest I've ever had. Why? I can only drink this in small doses. Therefore, I am very satisfied with both the cost and the taste. From the brewer's website "This is a sake that can be drunk forever, as its crispy spiciness matches the bold Tosa cuisine. ...I certainly want to pair it with bonito tataki! (Postscript) On the third day, the taste settled down and became sweet. It has a sweetness similar to mirin. I usually finish a 720ml bottle in 3 days. Alcohol content: 16 degrees Rice polishing ratio: 60%. Sake content: +10

The sake I bought at the end of the year didn't last until the new year, and I've been drinking wine lately, but... "I still want to drink sake! So I went to Marugoto Kochi in Ginza to buy some. Since it's my hometown, I'm familiar with the area, and it's fun to see the addresses of the breweries. And when I'm not sure which one I want to buy, I decide based on the address of my hometown. It's because it's honjozo (?). There is a hint of alcohol in the aftertaste...not much sweetness, and I think this is the kind of sake that changes its taste a few days after opening the bottle. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I hope my sake reporting will be a little better this year🙏. Alcohol content: 16-17 degrees Rice polishing ratio: 60%.

Once again, I was reminded of the fact that most Tosa sake is sweet, but does not linger and is very refreshing. This Kure is no different. It has a fruity freshness to it, as well as the refreshing taste of good natural water. The alcohol content is a bit high, but it's so easy to drink that you'll be out of bottles in no time... Delicious is a sin. I really wanted to pair it with a rich cheesecake, so I searched for it during New Year's, but I couldn't find it. It definitely goes well with sweets. I will try to get revenge during the vacations... until then, I will drink it carefully. 16% alcohol Rice polishing ratio 60%.

I still don't know the difference between honjozo and ginjo, but I love Kameizumi, and the label is elegant and the color is beautiful. It is slightly thick, yellowish and sweet in color. I can feel the sweetness in the aroma. But it's not mellow, and it's easy to drink. It is a sake for a 27-year-old girl! It's Christmas today, but I'm having sake and simmered daikon instead of wine. 15% alcohol Rice polishing ratio 60%.

Slightly carbonated...? Is it? It's something understated. Is that why it needs refrigeration? The sweetness of sake beyond the bitterness. If it's the sake you like, it'll wear off fast. Alcohol 16.5%. Rice polishing ratio 55%.

"Yeeeeaaay!" I shouted without thinking. It's been a long time since I've had Kochi's local sake. I won a prize in the Tosa Sake Drinking Campaign 😭Thank you, sake gods. Kochi's sake is delicious! It has a refreshing fruity aroma like white wine (muscat type). The taste doesn't linger, and it's a gorgeous, fresh sake like spring that really deserves the name "Urara". If you find it at an izakaya, you'll definitely drink it. I'm going to Kochi tomorrow, so I'll buy some. Alcohol 15-16%. Rice polishing ratio 60%.

First Aomori. The aroma of the freshly opened bottle gives me some idea of the taste. This is "Mirin! It's a mirin! The aroma is sweet and the color is dark golden. I prefer dry sake, but when I drink a mellow sake like this, I feel the depth (and breadth) of sake again. Alcohol 15-16%. Rice polishing ratio 65

I used to be a wine drinker, but I wanted to support the makers by buying domestic products, so I became a sake drinker. I don't have a hangover and I feel good. Is it because the ingredients are only rice and koji? Does it suit my constitution? I am happy. But I always end up drinking too much, which is a problem. It's more expensive than wine, but I don't know if it's safe...(‸だし) Today's sake is Asahiyama, 100% Niigata rice. It's so light that you'd think it was water⁉︎ (again, I drink too much). It reminds me of my father. I want to pair it with sashimi. I'm looking forward to drinking it on weekends while reading a book on Saturday evenings. Right now, I'm reading Ryotaro Shiba's Moeyo Ken. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 55%.

We are getting further and further away from our original goal of "Learning from the local sake of Shikoku! I'm getting further and further away from that goal every day. By far, the most accessible daily sake is from the Tohoku and Niigata regions. But it's good because it's good. Today, I bought a bottle of Echigo Zakura at my local Ozeki. The aroma is subdued and the taste is elegant. I feel relieved when I taste something without any peculiarity. I wonder what is the decisive factor of this "peculiarity"? As a novice sake drinker, I think it's important to get to know a variety of flavors first. And then, as the next step, maybe I should challenge myself with some maniac sake. That is to say, regardless of the brand name or place of origin, it is important to be particular. In other words, I want to put aside my obsession and enjoy good sake every day, regardless of the brand or place of origin. 17% alcohol Rice polishing ratio 50%. Note: On the second day, the sweetness increases at once!

I'm sorry for thinking that Hakutsuru is too major for you...! The aroma and taste can be summed up in one word: modest. It's an elegant, pure sake that doesn't make too much of a statement. I realized that it is a "standard" sake because it complements any dish, regardless of the occasion. (The recipes on the brewer's website are good for cooking with it) Rice polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol 14-15%. I think I'm going to catch a cold, but I believe sake will cure me.

At first, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know which one was the sake name... It's a Junmai Daiginjo called "Murasaki". The label also has an elegant Kyoto-like feel. At first sip, I groaned, "Mmm⁉︎", but once you get used to it, it's light. The flavor is refreshing and light. I tend to classify sake as masculine or feminine, but this sake has a feminine softness and sweetness. But as the name "Hime" suggests, it has a refreshing taste that is not mature. I heard that it won an award for being delicious in a wine glass, but I want to pair it with Japanese food (even though I drink it in a wine glass). I would like to pair it with Japanese food (even though I am drinking it with a glass of wine). 15% alcohol Rice polishing ratio 45%. Taste: Japanese style Heian era Aroma: Refreshing

Perhaps it's because I've been eating a lot of sweet rice lately, but the smell of rice coming out of the bottle as soon as I open it makes me happy. I was so happy. It's not that I don't like sweet sake, but I prefer dry sake as I'm looking for a sake that can be enjoyed with food. My first sake from Yamanashi. It was founded in 1750 during the Edo period, and is a long-established brewery. Yamanashi is a wonderful prefecture with a thriving wine industry. Postscript: On the second day, it became sweeter and thicker. It became another kind of sake. It's a sake you can enjoy for a long time. I'm convinced that I like it best the day after I open it. Wine too. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 70%. Aroma: Rice Color: Smell and taste are important Taste: You can feel the rice.

After a few dozen minutes of agonizing at the supermarket, I ended up buying it by the jacket, and it was a winner. It has a mild mouthfeel, and if I were to use an analogy, it would be "a young lady from a good family in the Meiji era. It's gorgeous, but it also has an understated elegance. The name of the sake, Yukitsubaki, is because it uses yeast from the flowers of the snow camellia. It is delicious at room temperature or cold. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 60%. Aroma: Sweet and fragrant Color: Light Taste: Sweet, but leaves a good aftertaste.

This is my second Drunken Whale. I try not to buy sake I've already drunk before because I want to drink as much sake as possible, but my love for my hometown won out...I love Kochi. The first sip goes down your throat like water. As you can see on the brewer's website, it's the perfect food sake. The aftertaste is a little alcoholic, but I think that's just a matter of taste. I like it the second day after opening. Drinking sake every evening is a reward for a hard day's work, and I want to drink the sake I want to drink. I should probably go to Marugoto Kochi in Ginza on the weekend to buy some. 15% alcohol Polishing ratio 55 Aroma: Not strong Taste: New Year's Day (like a slaughterhouse) Color: Light

Kochi's sake is not sold at all. I went to all the liquor stores in the neighborhood and department stores, but all I could find was Drunken Whale. I dropped by Fukumitsuya and bought a bottle of Kaga Tobi. ...Hmm, is it because it's room temperature? Or is it because I don't eat anything and drink only sake? The aroma of koji and the sourness afterwards... I wonder if it would be to my liking if I left it for a day and chilled it... I'll see tomorrow. But it's full and mellow. Sake is very deep... The more I drink, the more my tastes become clearer. This is also a learning experience! [Postscript Once I got used to the taste, I was drinking it at a faster pace than ever before. I think I love peculiar things. Aroma: Koji Color: It's hard to tell the color of sake unless you compare several kinds. Taste: Lingers in the mouth, like tannin in wine, mirin? Alcohol: 15%. Rice polishing ratio: 65

Oh, it's so sweet! It's the sweetest sake I've ever had. But it's not heavy, and has a refreshing sweetness. It's said to be light and dry, but it's fruity (the internet says it's pineapple). The brewer's website says, "The balance of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and umami is very good, and it has a taste that you will never get tired of drinking. Girls will definitely love it. If this is your first sake, you will definitely become a sake lover. It's easy to drink, but with an alcohol content of 15.5, be careful not to drink it at a fast pace. There are so many different kinds of sake from the same brand, it makes me think again. You can't really tell the difference unless you compare them at the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing how the flavors change tomorrow. [Postscript] No big change in taste on the second and third days. Keeps it fresh. Aroma: Faintly fragrant. Color: Light? Taste: sweet Alcohol: 15.5%. Polishing ratio 60% (100% Tosanishiki)
