Maruto純米酒生酛造り

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.

Hanaabi純米大吟醸 雄町 無濾過生原酒
alt 1alt 2
kanikani
For the fourth glass, I chose Omachi from the three varieties as it was the day of the Hanayo. It felt like a white wine, just like I had heard. A little cloudy, not as fizzy as Kaze no Mori, and most importantly, muscat-like flavors and acidity. It has too much character to pair with Japanese food, so it might be better to bring it after dinner. It tasted gorgeous, not like sake in a good way.

The third glass was a Kaze no Mori, which I had hoped to drink. As expected, it left a fizzy sensation on the tip of the tongue. The bottling is done just before the bottle is filled to preserve the bubbles, and the stocking is also kept to a minimum (which is why it is often sold out). This was another sake I wanted to taste during the hot season.

The first glass was an autumn sake. It is refreshing and just right for this time of year when the lingering summer heat is still lingering. It was sweet and a little acidic (the acidity was just as described by the store owner). It was so good that we had to be careful not to drink too much 🎵.

I was attracted by the label design. I believe it was made with rice and water produced in Miyota. This Kantake has a soft, mellow sweet taste with no sourness. Easy to drink and GOOD👍️ Favorite rating: 7

This is the second stage of a sake brewery in Saku City, which was found at the supermarket Tsuruya. After the initial sweetness of the rice, it has a strong dry taste. I would prefer it to be a little more square, but it leaves a long aftertaste in the mouth when drunk slowly, which is not a bad thing.

My third drink after work. It was lukewarm because my body was getting cold from the air conditioning. I think this is the first time I've had a lukewarm sake that has such a nice mouthfeel. It's dry and has a hint of acidity, but it's just the right amount and goes down easy. Next time I'd like to try it hot in the cold season.
