A series I've been skipping to post.
It's summer and I was at a nearby udon shop with a wide selection of sake.
I discovered my favorite, Kuheiji, after all these years!
I've only seen both Houraisen and Kuheiji every once in a while since I moved to the Kanto area😭.
Oh well, I can drink Hanayou instead!
I'm sure each region has its own wonderfully delicious sake, I'm sure.
A series I've been skipping to post.
A neighborhood udon shop with an abundance of sake.
For some reason, everywhere I went these days, they had Hana-Yokuyo on tap, so I drank it all the time.
The gorgeous aroma, the sweetness, the aftertaste, everything is great.
Hi Ace😊.
It looks like an udon shop that sells sake 😁 that's very rare ❗️.
I was also shocked when I had my first hana-yori and went to the sake brewery several times because I wanted it so much, but I haven't been able to buy it on my own without knowing the date of sale 😅.
Don't let this series of skipped posts go on...
This is Hanayuyo, which I drank when I went Nagatoro Line Rafting in July.
The Match is said to be brewed by matching Yamadanishiki and Bizen Omachi.
A series I've been skipping to post.
A yakitori restaurant I used to frequent. They have a lot of sake here. But if they have Jyushidai and Hanayou, that's all I order 😅.
I haven't had Hana-Yuyo recently.
I need to go out for a drink!
A series I've been skipping to post.
The origin of my sake life, Kaze no Mori.
On this day, when I opened the bottle, it was wonderfully shwashy with a nice popping sound 😁.
Thank you, Kaze no Mori❗️
Skipping the posting.
There are so many series I've been slacking on...
This one was bought by my daughter as a souvenir from her trip to Nebuta!
She went all the way to the liquor store and bought it after telling my mom what she liked 😊.
That's my girl, she knows what she's doing 😁👌👌
A series I've been skipping posting.
A small restaurant nearby that I've been curious about for a while? I had this when I went to a small restaurant nearby that I had been curious about for a while.
The owner recommended this sake.
It goes well with sushi and Japanese food. It was delicious! I should have tasted it, but I forgot the detailed taste...
I started Sakenoa as a memo, but if I don't post often enough 💦 this is what happens.
I went sightseeing to the boathouse in Ine in the summer and bought this as a souvenir. I still have some left, so I'm going to drink it all up.
I forgot what it tasted like when I first opened it 😅.
The color is still the same. Ancient rice red.
Now it tastes like a sweet red port wine and smells like a ripe fruit with a little weight like a dessert wine.
Well, sometimes it's interesting to taste something like this.
My favorite Houraisen has been waiting in the fridge for a while 😍.
When I was in Aichi, I could find Houraisen wherever I went, but since I moved to Kanto, it's hard to find it 💦.
I really like Sora and Bi but I'll settle for Japanese.
It's very light and you can go as much as you want.
Good balance of sweet and sour!
I compared it with Shinshu Kamerei which I opened yesterday, but compared to Kamerei's tangy, bitter taste and aroma, Houraisen has no bitterness and the aftertaste is so smooth that I end up drinking it like sweet water 😁.
Even though it's a weekday...
I️ heard that Shinshu Kamerei was on sale at my usual liquor store, so I️ went to the store out of the blue.
I've had it at the store, but it didn't make much of an impression on me...
I'll drink it right away!
The aroma is a bit like rice bran.
It has a really refreshing taste with no peculiarities. Not too sweet, not too fragrant, well balanced, just right. It seems to go well with everything and everyone. Maybe that's why it didn't leave a lasting impression😅.
At first I felt a tanginess and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, but as I continued drinking it, it seemed to become milder.
The Daiginjo will be on sale at the end of the year, and I wonder if the taste will be much different - I'd like to try it, but it's too cold for me to stand in line!
If it were more glamorous, I'd stand in line to try it, but as I think about it, the year is about to end 💦.
Additional note: After 3 days from opening the bottle, I feel the mild sweetness has increased! The aroma is more pronounced than when I first opened it.
It's becoming my favorite 🫢.
The master told me he had a rare one, so I ordered it.
This is delicious 😋😋.
The aroma is fruity🍈🥭🥭 and although it has a medium mouthfeel, the aroma has a tropical sweetness to it, so it tastes sweet but not too sweet itself.
I heard that it is not widely available.
It's certainly the first time I've heard of it.
It was a good encounter ✨
I ordered a hiyaoroshi sake comparison set at a local izakaya.
The sake was good, but the autumn sake from Kataemon was too good.
But I've been slacking too much on posting 😅.
I️ think it was fruity, the aroma in the nose was sweet and refreshing like apple, pear or lychee, and the aftertaste was not so bitter but refreshing.
Anyway, it's a delicious ️️️️️️️️️️️️.
Mii3 konbanhā
I feel like I have to write every day if I try to give them often because I can't remember if I accumulate reviews 💦.
It's great that you remember so many tastes ✨✨.
A friend recommended this one to me and I️ bought it at my regular liquor store.
Opened today with a pot of miso ✨🍾.
The aroma is fruit, and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel a slight gasiness, and for a moment it seems mild and rich, but the aftertaste is very refreshing and clean.
The sweetness is there, but the acidity and bitterness are well balanced.
It has a bitter taste like Eikoufuji.
I can't help but drink it while eating 😅.
I️ opened a bottle of Ocean that was brought out from the backyard of the liquor store.
It's suddenly hot today, so I thought it would be perfect.
When I opened the bottle, a fresh aroma was wafting through the air.
Oh~, it is indeed a chrysanthemum!
It's a green apple, isn't it?
Fresh sourness, but I don't think it's a common sourness - it's an apple-like sourness.
Good aroma, refreshing light sweetness with a nice sharpness, and I drink it very fast💦.
A really, really slight bitterness at the end, well, I almost don't feel it.
This is like a good soda water flavor without the carbonation lol.
Not a good analogy 😅.
It's a perfect image of the beautiful blue ocean ️.
It's daytime sake and sushi on the road 🤤.
Blissful moment ✨
This is the second sake I drank out of the comparison set, a local sake from Tochigi, where I was traveling.
Tochigi has a lot of fruity umaguchi that I like, but this was a first for me. And it also tastes like your favorite ☺️💕.
The aroma, sweetness is soft and fluffy, but light and refreshing. Not so much bitterness or sourness, but it's refreshing in the mouth at the end.
It is served with boiled yuba from Nikko.
I compared it with Jyushidai, and it is as good as Jyushidai.
The Jyushiyo is mellow, but this one has a light, refreshing taste.
I'm going to buy some next time.
Sake and sushi in the daytime on a trip 😁.
This is a set to compare drinks, but I'll drink up from this one first❗️.
It is clean, light and a little sour. It is dry but has a softness and lightness without tingling. Perfect for a meal. It is served with tempura of wild vegetables.
Overnight trip to Lake Chuzenji in Nikko.
Delicious sushi and drink set for lunch.
If it's available, we always order ‼️Template Jyushidai 😁.
It's not easy to get it individually anymore 😭.
I think it's the best when I drink it once in a while.
I think it's the ultimate balance.
It's full-bodied, umami, sweet, and fragrant, with a mild yet elegant finish and a fresh ‼️What the heck is this? It's a great sake no matter how many times I drink it.
The brewed sake of Jyushidai is well, well, okay, but the Junmai sake is always amazing ❗️.
Anyway, when I drink Jyushi-Dai in a sake comparison set, I try to drink it last. Because the other sake's taste is too hazy...
