ずくだせ!信州の日本酒

This is the fifth brewery in Saku's sake brewery series. This is a rare bottle as it has recently met with a fire and is closed. We happened to find it at a one-day spa and secured it. It has a strong bitterness and acidity, with a tangy mouthfeel. It also has a sweetness, so it is not harsh. It is the best sake from Saku so far. It's a shame that we won't be able to taste it for a while. I hope they will do their best to bring it back.

For my second glass, I chose Shinmasa, my first time drinking one of the Adult's Day service drinks. The aroma of hakusaku and the citrus-like acidity as shown on the bottle stood out. I have never tasted such an acidic sake before. I am glad I was able to drink it at the right time.

This is my first time drinking Houou Mita. It seems to be the driest brand among them. It has a well-balanced taste that strikes me as being right in the middle of the range 🎵It has a nice, clean sweet taste. The acidity in the aftertaste is also nice.

Good evening kanikani😃. Congratulations on your first Bida at ㊗️ 🎉! I think the expression "light sweet" might be the best way to describe Mita's dry sake 🤗There are many other delicious Tochigi sake 😋 Please try them all 👋.

This is a junmai version of the Haginoroh mini-bottle sake I bought on the label. It is a little less sweet than the junmai ginjo, but generally has a good balance of bitterness. When heated, it still has a hint of Kikuhime-like bran aroma. I would like to try it in a Yongo bottle next time.

This is the sake you want to drink warmed up in this season. The unique bran-like aroma becomes addictive once you get into it.

Sake obtained at a new sake festival at a brewery. I opened the bottle on New Year's Day. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a sweet taste. It is not a good food sake, but it is good with salty snacks and desserts.

Souvenir from my fall visit to Ishiyama-dera Temple for the Taiga Drama Museum. The label is my favorite. The sweetness comes first, followed by bitterness and acidity. Bitterness and sourness follow, and a moderate acidity remains at the end. There may be a slight Kikuhime-like aroma. I drank it cold, but I am sure it would be delicious warmed up.

Nihonshu Genka Sakagura (日本酒原価酒蔵)

The last one is from the neat sweet category. A brand exclusively for wholesale. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of the sake bottle. The mouthfeel is refreshingly sweet, with a touch of acidity coming later. I realized once again that I have been looking for a little more umami and drinkability lately. However, it tastes just right to finish off the meal.

The first drink after work. I chose Jikin, which had been on my mind for a long time. When I put it in my mouth, I felt soft lactic acidity and a little gas. The sweetness and acidity cut through quickly, making it a refreshing sake suitable for the first cup. It was a convincing taste 🎵.

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.

Found a local sake at Seijo Ishii and bought it. It has a nice harmony of sweet, bitter, and acidic 🎵I could taste the ginjo aroma even when it was chilled. It was a nice balanced sake. PS: Wow, it goes so well with Narazuke pickles. I can't stop.

My favorite ganboku. It seems a bit sweeter and a bit more acidic than the Junmai Hitotsubi. The ginjo aroma is subdued. Steady and easy to drink.

The third stage of a sake brewery in Saku City. It has a dry taste with a little sweetness from the rice. I would have preferred a little more umami and acidity. We are looking forward to the Daiginjo we got at the sake brewery's new sake festival.

Purchased at a Tottori product exhibition. When chilled, it is sweet and easy to drink, but as the temperature rises, the spiciness and acidity gradually take over, and the ginjo aroma that wafts through the nose is a nice touch. You can enjoy the changes in flavor as you sip it slowly with some warm water.

This is my first favorite brand that I encountered when I moved to a new city. It has just the right balance of round sweetness, umami, and acidity, and is right in the middle of what I like. I drink it every once in a while after returning to Japan to reconfirm my baseline.
