A gift from my daughter. If the special junmai of drunken whale becomes a little more refreshing, it would be something like this? Not unique, just a normal sake.
Purchased at Koishiwara Roadside Station. Kataoka Sake Brewery.
Aru Soze
Sake with an old-fashioned sake feel. Sweet, a little rough, and surprisingly good.
My daughter was going back to Japan and I was looking for a sweet sake to drink with her, but when I saw this Shichida (and it was the last one), I had to buy it. I saw this Shichida (and it was the last one), so I had to buy it. I had enjoyed both the hiyaoroshi and the fully ripe sake, so I was expecting too much from this one, but after 3 days of drinking, I enjoyed the clear top clear sake, and then lightly mixed the nigori. The taste was very satisfying, with a slight piquancy and rice flavor! The taste was as expected and satisfying. I think Shichida is a sake where the flavor of the rice can be fully appreciated.
The name and label are cute and I like that it looks like this but is dry. I had the impression that Ona was delicious when I drank it before, so I bought it without hesitation. I bought it without hesitation! The taste is just as I expected. It's great to know that it tastes like this. It is rich, dry, and has no tanginess. If you like dry taste, please try it!
This is a very dry Junmai sake without piquancy. It is said that flower yeast is used. The aroma is somewhat gorgeous. The taste is also a little fruity or fluffy essence added to a very dry Junmai sake. If I had to choose a sake without the piquancy of Saga, I would prefer Manrei. This sake is also good as a food sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
Purchased at the Mori Sake Brewery in Hirado. It has a nice tangy taste, rice flavor, and acidity in a modern style. 5 days or so later, the tanginess is still there, and the sake is more sake-like than light.
On the way back from a trip, I bought this at Michi no Eki Itsuki (Roadside Station). This is the first time I've tried Manrei Karatsu sake. It is a very drinkable junmai sake with the feel of a man's sake. It has a good balance of acidity, fullness and sharpness. I will drink the rest of it lukewarm.
On the way to Hirado, I selected and purchased this sake from a tasting at the Kururyu Sake Brewery. It has a Sake strength of +1, but the alcohol content is also high at 17 degrees, so it is sweet, sour, and drinkable. After drinking a lot of modern sake, it is nice to have a fresh sake like this one. It is happy when you find a sake you like after tasting it on a trip, isn't it?
At a place to stay in Hirado. Good balance of sharpness and sweetness with a slight tanginess. Good sake with good cost performance. Hiran has become famous. I'm looking forward to it since we won one more bottle of Hiran!
I was going to drink it with my daughter, but I couldn't. So I opened the bottle by myself. It was better to drink it two days later than the first day, because the gasiness and the sake were in good harmony. It was a little sweet for me. I thought this harmony was great. I knew this sake would be popular with girls, both in the bottle and the taste.
A souvenir bought by an acquaintance of my wife in her image. First drinking of Okawa's famous sake. It has a slight tangy taste with a clean and sharp taste. Even after drinking it 3 days later, the tanginess was still there. I am a little hesitant to buy it myself, but thanks for the gift!
It is described as a "sharp Junmai-shu," but it tastes like a traditional sake, with a full flavor of rice. The taste is what I personally call Kurokenrishi-style. It has more acidity and sweetness than Kurokenbishi. Best served warm!
Gusan is a sake from Shimane, which is hard to read. The spiciness of the sake comes from the melon flavor, so it is not fruity, but the sake flavor prevails. The pink Izumo is also interesting.
Dry Junmai sake. It seems to be made with flower yeast. Yoshidaya in Nagasaki also uses flower yeast. The taste or lingering aftertaste is soft and fragrant. I'll try it heated next time.
I was able to get one bottle left at the end of last year! When I opened the bottle, it was quite a bit schwarzier and felt spicier than I expected (even though I like spiciness), but after about 3 days, I was convinced it was good.
After about 3 days, I was satisfied with the taste. It was a bit dry than I expected (even though I like dry sake), but after 3 days, I was satisfied with the taste. If you like nigori sake because it is sweet, you may be disappointed, but if you like dry junmai sake like I do, this nigori is perfect for you.
My daughter-in-law brought this second brand of Urakasumi for New Year's. It has a junmai-like flavor that is hard to believe it is a honjozo sake, and I wonder if the sharpness of the aftertaste is due to the honjozo quality. It was a delicious sake with a delicious umakuchi taste that was easy to drink due to its modest character 🍶.
This is the second bottle of Yoshidaya. I hear it tastes great with dashiwari, but of course it is also good on its own. The traditional taste of dry junmai sake and the new taste are well blended.
Purchased at Yoshidaya, which was closed the last time I visited Shimabara. It has a nice hiyaoroshi taste with a clean dry taste. I like the taste. I bought another bottle at Yoshidaya, so I'm looking forward to drinking that one too.
First Kamo Nishiki. A famous sake from Niigata. Junmai Ginjo like Junmai Sake. It is not fruity, but a junmai ginjo for sake lovers. Well-balanced with acidity, fullness, and sharpness!
