Purchased at a roadside station in Hiroshima. It's deliciously dry, so to speak. It is softer than the aforementioned Furozumi. It can be drunk either cold or warmed.
I specified it as a souvenir from my wife's trip to Shiga and asked her to buy it for me. There is a local hot spring with the same name, so I had the motive of wanting to shoot in front of it ^^^ It has a rich umakuchi taste and a sake degree of +1, but the aftertaste is also dry ... . Let's try drinking it warmed.
Junmai-shu, which falls into the "light, super dry" category. Purchased on a trip to Tottori. It doesn't have any particular character, but I prefer a more umakuchi or strong flavor. It is a sake that is easy to drink.
The other day, I posted about this autumn-aged junmai-shu from Omae-shu. This is my favorite. It was delicious both cold and lukewarm. It has a great flavor. The bottle is stylish too! I would like to buy it if I see it again.
Mimasaka This is quite a difficult name to read, isn't it? I like sake made by female toji, so I was looking forward to this one too.
I was expecting too much, but I drank it fresh out of the refrigerator first. When you think of Okayama, you think of Omachi, right?
The first day it was light and dry, and the second day it had a slight fluffy rice flavor.
Sake made by a female toji. Junmai Ginjo is cheaper than Junmai, and the label on the back is handwritten. The label on the back of the bottle is handwritten. The special junmai has a stronger flavor and more individuality than the junmai.
Purchased on a trip to Tottori Shimane. Drink it cold ... . Shichikanma's special junmai sake is sold at Sanxer type stores, so I went for the junmai sake. It is a thick, dry sake. I drank it straight out of the fridge, so I felt it would be better at room temperature. If you know, please let me know!
Souvenirs from my trip to Tottori Shimane. This is a rare place where a sake brewery is a roadside station. It has a rich rice flavor with a rather refreshing aftertaste. I preferred the pure rice sake "Nitamai" that I also bought.
By the way, I bought 2 jg of Nitamai, a famous rice from Okuizumo, and it was delicious! It was worth the price!
The soba noodles were also good.
This is my second bottle of Fudo-san, following Cho-Kara. It tasted better after the third day than when I drank it at the time of opening the bottle ^^^ It has a matured and mellow taste that is typical of hiyaoroshi.
It's been a while since I had a drink. I was reminded that sake is still alive. I was reminded that sake is still alive. It tasted more like Kuromatsu Kenbishi than the last time I drank it. Maybe it tastes better heated up.
On October 9, Inoue Sake Brewery had a stall at an event in nearby Matsubara Park. The toji (master brewer) and president, Mr. Yuri Inoue himself was there, so I bought a bottle of this sake while listening to his story. It is not cheap for a junmai sake (2200 yen), but it has a rich rice flavor and elegant acidity, and the sake degree is -6.8. I would never have bought it if I had only seen the number, but I was impressed once again by the richness and depth of sake variations, and I knew I had to try it to understand. It was delicious!
Purchased at Kotsusa Sake Shop in Kobayashi City, Miyazaki. This is the second Shiga sake I have had in my lifetime. It is a dry, umami sake, but it is also sharp and gentle.
Purchased at a roadside station in Shimane. When poured into a glass, it has a dark yellowish color. ^^^ It feels like fresh sake in the mouth, but then the dryness lingers for a long time. If you are looking for a dry sake, this is it!
Drink it cold. The sweetness of the rice spreads at first, followed by sourness and acidity. I think I have grasped the taste of "Gohyakumangoku" a little. It is hard to describe in words. In a word, it is surprisingly tasty.
Shimane, the birthplace of Japanese sake. 3rd trip to Shimane. Purchased at Roadside Station Goise Nima. Summer sake. When I bought it, it was quite acidic and stood up too well, but after 3 days of drinking it, I got the impression that it had mellowed a bit and gained some umami flavor, making it a nice summer sake. +I would recommend it to those who prefer a little more dryness and are OK with acidity.
I got this from Haneda Airport ^^^ I haven't had Sawanoi since Summer Junmai. I like this one better! The description on the back says it's dry, but not dry. I don't really like it, but the added value of it being a Tokyo sake is appealing.
Tochigi sake is almost impossible to find in Oita, so I have them buy it for me when I travel there.
A junmai sake that goes down easy. It also has umami. The lingering spiciness is on the subdued side. It's the kind of sake you shouldn't drink too much of.
This is a bottle from a brewery famous for its appearance. First of all, it is very cost-effective. 17% alcohol by volume and high in alcohol content. Slightly thick and dry.
I bought at a restaurant I had wanted to go in for a while. I enjoyed listening to the explanation of the sake while there were many people standing around drinking, and it made me want to come back to this store. The clerk told me that it tasted like pineapple, and it did indeed taste like pineapple.
When I drank it three days after opening the package, the pineapple flavor faded slightly and the spiciness of the aftertaste remained. It is a sake for summer.
