Purchased while driving in the Chugoku region. It is not as good as Sakurafukiyuki, but it has a slightly tangy taste with a pleasantly spicy aftertaste. Sake made by a female toji is never bad! (Just my personal opinion).
Purchased at a roadside station in Okayama. I was so happy when I found it because it was the only one I could find in Okayama.
It is better at room temperature than out of the fridge. It has both sharpness and flavor. It has both a sharp and tasty taste, with a spicy aftertaste. I like the label.
Purchased at a roadside station in Higashi-Hiroshima City. I wondered if Hiroshima's local sake awareness is at the city level rather than the prefectural level, and experienced the power of the best sake brewery in the area near Kyushu. Kamo Kanehide's Kinko's Sake Brewery. Take it out of the fridge and drink. Oh! Tangy! It cuts through quickly, and the umami of the rice can be felt smoothly. This is the kind of sake that makes you drink too much. Slightly lighter than Amami Junmai (more refreshing)
Purchased on a roadside station drive in the Chugoku region, Part 3 ^^^ Oh! There is Jiameishin! And bought it. This one has a Sake Degree of -5, which is quite dry for a Kamishin sake. I first tried it cold, but it tasted better in the refrigerator. It was not a "wow" moment for me, but it was a good taste! I didn't find anything that made me think, "Oh!
Chugoku Region Drive Part 2. A female toji. This is the third sake from Tsuji Honten. It tasted surprisingly old-fashioned, but I drank it cold, so I will try it chilled in a refrigerator.
This is the first review of a large quantity of sake that I purchased on a recent road trip to Tottori, Okayama, and Hiroshima. This is the second Takayuu I've had, following the last time I had a cup of strong sake. This one is good too! It is deliciously dry. The mildness is hard to believe it is 50% polished rice. It also has a refreshing taste. I drank it cold, but I think I can also enjoy it warmed up.
I bought it because it was sold at a store where I went to buy steamed buns in the countryside of Kumamoto (Hiyayogoshi was sold out). It is called "Classic" and tastes like Kuromatsu Kenrishi-type, but I thought it was easier to drink than Kenrishi-type. It has a great umami flavor. It tastes better when warmed up to lukewarm. The label is pretty cool.
Purchased at Kotani Sake Shop. This is the second Kakuemon I have been looking for in Autumn Agari. It is 55% polished rice, but the taste is gentle rather than fruity, with a pleasant ripeness and a subdued acidity. +It is rated +2, but I think it is also good for dry sake lovers. I wonder if other sake from Akita is also delicious.
This was my second sake purchase in the tour. I had hoped to buy an Aki-agari, but they did not have much in stock yet, so I opted for the first Ganki and chose a summer sake that was no longer available (I told them I liked dry sake). (I told him I like dry sake, and he recommended it to me.) It was not light, but rather rich, with a slight mellow feeling, and a good balance of acidity, umami, and spiciness. It is delicious! This is Ganki. It was the kind of sake that made me want to drink other sake as well. I would like to go out to drink it once, not to buy it! LOL!
It's been a long time since I've had Tochigi sake, and this is my first Senkin! First of all, I like the label. I like the way it looks, but Sengkyo is cool too. It's a Junmai Daiginjo. It is not so fruity, but light, a little tangy, and easy to drink. I haven't had the normal Sengoku, so I can't compare it, but it doesn't have the same autumnal flavor.
Good morning, Bobbi Bale 😃!
Congratulations on your first Sentori ❗️ 🎉The Asahi Aki-agari is a rare sake that you can't find in your hometown and is easy to find outside of the prefecture 🤗.
Please try the other Sentori 👋
It has been a long time since I have been to Takaraiya. It was recommended to me at Kotani Sake Shop, and I didn't expect much, but it was quite good. It has just the right amount of spiciness, just the right amount of tastiness and acidity. I like the taste!
It's the hottest one I've had since Mitsui no Kotobuki. I felt it was spicier than Mitsui no Kotobuki. I thought that a very hot sake should be this hot, but I confirmed that I am a fan of +4 to +9. I want to drink Toyo Bijin's "Dai-karakuchi" after a long time. So far, I like Sanzenzori from Gifu, which is also a Gifu Prefecture brewery.
I bought this sake for my daughter, looking for a sake that is easy to drink. My daughter said "It is easy to drink! I thought it would be more fruity and sweet, but it has a sourness and then sweetness. It is easy to drink, that is for sure. The brewery makes a sake called Tansheng.
I understood that the acidity was crisp and clear, and that this was the taste of summer junmai. I felt the balance of the rice flavor, freshness and acidity was better when I took it out of the refrigerator and let it sit for a little while before drinking.
I went to Ito Sake Shop near Ureshino Station and bought a bottle recommended by the manager (though I had my doubts). It has a tangy, fruity taste like Nabeshima, but with a good balance of rice flavor and acidity. It's delicious! This bottle reminded me of the high level of Saga's sake.
The Amami special junmai is also in this vein, but the Amami is a bit more girlish or complex, while this one seems to be more of a man's sake. I want to go back to Ito Sake Brewery ^^^.
First time drinking sake from Wakayama! It has been a long time since I drank aluzake, and it has a very high alcohol content of 19 degrees. First, drink it cold. The acidity, sweetness, and umami are all very strong. If you drink it with ice on top, the acidity becomes a little more pronounced. I wonder if it is suitable for summer.
I rarely drink Junmai Daiginjo specs, but this one tastes sweet and gassy, not light and quite complex. It tastes like a lactobacillus drink, and I wish the taste was more subtle. I thought maybe Chiba's sake is not so good for my palate.
This is the first sake from Gifu after Sanzenmori. It is a thick junmai sake with a slightly strong acidity similar to Kameizumi from Kochi. It is also worth seeing because of its 17% alcohol content.
Compared to the special junmai sake I drank last time, this one has a more refreshing taste with a more persistent schwarziness even after opening the bottle. Both are delicious, but if I had to choose a favorite, I would say the special junmai sake.
At Senza Kitchen, a roadside station. When I saw it, I thought, "Oh! I couldn't help but exclaim "Tenbi! I couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, Tenbi!" lol I bought a special junmai and a junmai ginjo, both raw. After 3 days of drinking, the spiciness increased, but the balance of acidity and sweetness was maintained. Special Junmai? Here we go. I wonder what junmai ginjo would be like.
My wife, who does not drink sake but is more critical of the taste than I am, also thought it was delicious.
