summer Slightly effervescent. Sweet and refreshing. It is sweet and refreshing, and has a gradually delicious flavor. The alcohol content is only 13%, but it goes down smoothly. A light and easy-to-drink summer sake. It is delicious. Purchased at a liquor store in Suzaka. It is a seasonal sake made by Shigaizumi Sake Brewery, which specializes in sweet, sour, delicious and fruity sake. Surprisingly few stores carry it, and it is located far from here.

Lock2 Soft and sweet aroma. Full of rice aroma and flavor. Tongue tingling. Slightly dry, rice-based sake. Delicious. When ice is added, the sweetness appears and the sharpness increases. You can gobble it down. Takaten is amazing. We bought it at a supermarket near the Takaten Sake Brewery. There is a huge selection of sake from Okaya and Suwa. Takaten has had a sake called "Rock" for quite some time, which is recommended to be mixed with ice and watered down, and they added this to their lineup about 5 years ago in response to the high demand for junmai sake.

changing for the better Quite nice aroma, like fresh fruit. Sticky and alcohol-derived numbness on the tongue. A bit of bitterness stands out. When ice is added, it transforms into a sweet, soft, and refreshing taste. A great sake that can be drunk endlessly when paired with a meal. Umeyesu. Perfect for summer. Takaten recommends high alcohol content sakes, including this one, to be drunk on the rocks. The locals also serve regular sake on the rocks, though. Purchased at a sake brewery. The urban area of Okaya. A killifish and three whoopers, the toji's hobby, greet you. No names yet. Last time, there was only killifish.

whalebone wave Aroma reminiscent of plum blossoms. Soft and slightly effervescent. Slightly sweet, with a sour and bittersweet aftertaste. Delicious. Purchased at a sake brewery. The Junmai Unfiltered Nama is said to be popular, and there is a wide selection of different rice varieties. We bought the recommended Hidahomare. Deep in the mountains of Nakatsugawa. As our predecessors have posted on Sakenowa, it was a long way to the brewery. It is important to drive with respect for others. I feel I was able to accumulate virtues along the way. There is a parking lot for about 4 cars under the hairpin curve before the brewery, and I felt their welcoming attitude. It seems that they also have a corner bar. They also have a selection of Moayashimono and Natsuko sake. The whale on the receipt is cute.

Oroku Hachimaru It has the astringency and umami typical of 80% low-polishing sake, with a salami-like aroma, but also a strange elegance without any unpleasant tugging. We are currently exploring izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) in front of Matsumoto Station. However, the cost will be high, so we are trying to keep it moderate. This restaurant opened last week next to the ramen shop Hizuki. The location and the fact that the restaurant opens at 3:00 p.m. are in line with the drinking habits of Matsumoto. The young and pleasant master is a one-man operation. The food is delicious and the sake selection is maniacal, with four brands from within the prefecture and four from outside. I think it's seamless. We will spread the word in a small way. Correction. The sake brands were 4 in-prefecture and 6 out-of-prefecture.

Gantt chart Pear-like aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it's very crispy. Sweet and refreshing, good for summer. Goes well with rice. I like it. Since I was in Nagoya, I went to Liquor World 21 Shibata in front of Nagoya Station to buy some local sake. I learned about the Mizutani Shuzo Fire from a flyer in the store and bought some. It is made by Yamazaki Goushi Kaisha. Both breweries are located in the Mikawa Bay area. I had never heard of them before. I went to SAKAE SAKE SQUARE 2025. It was hot. I didn't raise anything to SAKE WA, but I was able to learn about many sake breweries in Aichi and Gifu, and I was able to tell Mr. Yamauchi Sake Brewery that his fumamori was delicious, so I am glad that I went.

Dear Zima I enjoyed the thousand gourds. I saw your crowdfunding site. You seemed very motivated to rebuild the restaurant, so I gave you my small support. However, the goal of 70 million yen is outrageous.

Aroma of rice, citrus and rice. Soft on the palate, with a hint of sweet and sour. Slightly umami. A little numbness and bitterness at the end. Gentle and very tasty. We visited a sake brewery last week. Deep in the mountains of Nakatsugawa. Even the car navigation system was lost. I called in advance and was given a tour of the brewery because it was a day when the brewer was managing the warehouse. The brewery is handmade with old-fashioned (and dilapidated) equipment and produces less than 50 koku (50 koku = 5,000 sachets) of sake. We were very grateful for the sake. I was told that the sake was sold by the previous generation in the main house, but I could not buy it because he was not home, so I bought it at the nearest store (30 minutes away by car). I thought that the pop-up sign in the store was promoting Yamauchi Sake Brewery, but it turned out that the owner of the store is a toji (master brewer), so they have a close relationship with the company. The owner of the store is a toji (master brewer), and I was told that he was the one who started to rebuild Yamauchi Brewery, which was about to go out of business. I am grateful for and respect his enthusiasm.

black pine Aroma with a hint of citrus. The first sip has a strong sharp alcohol taste, but after a while, it changes to a softer, slightly sweeter impression. A bitter taste remains. Purchased at a sake brewery. The brewery is famous for its hon mirin (Japanese rice wine). Hanamigura," for which there are many signs along the Shirakawa River, is the sake brewed here. When you enter through the many wind chimes, you will find a beautiful sales area and the aroma of incense sticks. Today, the brewery was holding a "kurabiraki" event, with amazake (sweet sake) being served, tastings, and a pickle shop. This sake is directly pumped from a tank. The Hichisou set meal at the brewery cafe was delicious.

splendid alfonsino (Beryx splendens) Aroma of rice cake. Aroma of barley. Dry and smooth. The flavor is simply delicious. Delicious warmed up. It's great in an air-conditioned room in the summer time. We bought it at a sake brewery when we went around Lake Biwa in January. The name "Kinkame" comes from the fact that the Ii clan gave it the name of Kinkame Castle, which is also called Hikone Castle, but they were too proud to call it that so they called it "Kinkame". When I told him that I drank Kinkame at Kinki-an, a buckwheat noodle shop in Otsu Station, he said that it had nothing to do with the Okamura head family. Also, I remember that the waiter's conversational tempo or pause was very Kansai-Japanese.

Aroma of dried fruits. Mild mouthfeel, subtle sweetness, saliva-stimulating acidity astringency. Quite yellow. I was worried because it had been stored at room temperature for three years without the right time to open it, but I was relieved to find that it tasted surprisingly good. I bought it at a souvenir shop in Tokorozawa Sakura Town a few years ago. It was made by Tenranzan in Hanno, as there is no sake brewery in Tokorozawa. Although Tokorozawa is the birthplace of aviation, it is not a town where people come all the way from other places, but suddenly an installation spot called the Kadokawa Museum has appeared, and I am looking forward to its future.

How about ...? Citrusy, melon-like, candy-like, still smelling of alcohol? Numb on the tongue, slightly sweet, full of flavor. Delicious. I like it. Purchased at a sake brewery. Or rather, you can only buy it at the sake brewery. The brewery is located in downtown Matsumoto. The management changed this year and they have changed their focus from traditional sake to junmai (pure rice) sake. Expectations for the future. It is really recent, so the pamphlet and website are not ready yet, but they have opened an Instagram page, so please check it out. You can buy on Saturdays and Sundays if you call in advance. Even if it is locked and you can't get through on the phone, you can still buy it if you persistently attack.

the Bank of Japan's quarterly Short-term Economic Survey of Principal Enterprise in Japan Ginjo aroma like maitake mushroom. Soft. It is dry but has the sweetness of rice. There is an astringent taste at the end. When served with a meal, the ginjo aroma enhances the taste. Purchased at a sake brewery on the day of the Firefly Festival. It was raining. Tatsumaru label commemorating the 70th anniversary of Tatsuno Town, limited to 700 bottles. At a glance, it is hard to believe it is pre-dawn. Inside is a regular sake, Tatsunogin.

narrator Beta 1 Citrusy aroma. Slightly dry. Fizzy and foamy. β2 Melon aroma. Slightly sweet. Slightly sweet, with a bubbly taste. Both are refreshing and tasty. You can tell the difference when you compare them. This is a new product from Narai, which used to be very expensive, but is now in a slightly more affordable price range. It is still a little expensive. We are exploring new pubs in front of Matsumoto station. But the cost will be high, so we'll keep it moderate. A bar that leads the daytime drinking scene in Matsumoto. Popular among foreign customers. Open from 13:00 to 19:00. A small bar with a counter and two tables. A lot of sake from Nagano Prefecture are available. Good interaction among customers. The master has a wealth of knowledge about sake and it is a very nice store.

Sweet, tender, fresh and delicious. They use rice from Tokorozawa and have it made at Igarashi Sake Brewery in Hanno. Sake Brewery Fest Made in Saitama 2025 June 21,22. Tokorozawa Sakura Town's first sake event. A very satisfying and divine event with quite a lot of tasting tickets for the price. Oh no. It is so impressive that they are making rice in Tokorozawa, where it is said that they used to make sweet potatoes that grow with little water because there is no well water. This sake is only available at Hinoya Sake Shop.

Aroma of melon-flavored candy, not melon. Moderate effervescence. Sourness. Slightly sweet. Lingering bitterness. Delicious. Low alcohol. Just the right lightness as it is very hot these days. Purchased at a liquor store in Matsumoto. A sake brewery in Nakagomi, Saku City. It is a summer sake from Kame no Umi. The picture of a cicada on the label is cute. Kame no Kai's regular sake lineup is simple and easy to understand.

Norikazu Shigeta Toji 18 Makimizu Junmai Daiginjo Competition standard 35% Yamadanishiki, pear-like aroma. Slight sweetness. After the first sip, it becomes numb, then gradually acidic. Very beautiful taste. 19: 35% Yamadanishiki, the standard for Daiginjo-shu entered in the Misonotake Daiginjyo Competition. Slightly lemony aroma. Refreshing and delicious. Slightly sweet and slightly effervescent. The lingering aftertaste is a bit sticky. Compare with R5 Daiginjyo for the competition by Takeju Sake Brewery. Excellent. The third and last of the SAKE country tourism achievement prizes. Sake brewery stamp rally in Nagano Prefecture. A wonderful plan whereby those who complete all the breweries receive 6 bottles from 3 random breweries.

Thank you. Also, as a brewery tour enthusiast, it is a very useful tool as an excuse to break into breweries that do not sell their sake at retail. Also, there are many breweries that do not have a store, so I think I have gained some courage. There are prizes even for 10 stamps, so if you are planning to visit Nagano, please give it a try.

Grand Prairie Melon-like aroma becomes plastic in the mouth. Tasteless like soda water, then slightly fizzy and slightly bitter. Delicious when drunk with junk snacks that feel American. I have a feeling! An American SAKE that came to Japan through a partnership with Hakkaisan. This is the second bottle. When I drank the first bottle in April, I thought that I wouldn't go out of my way to choose an expensive American SAKE, but as the price of rice has skyrocketed in recent years and the price of sake made from rice also shows signs of going up, I have reconsidered whether it might be an option if the imported product is this good and if the price range is on par with domestic products. Well, the tariffs in the U.S. are likely to rise.

silver coin Rustic flavor. Gentle sweetness. Mild aroma. There is nothing sharp, but it has presence. I see, this is Masumi. It is an ordinary sake. I would not dare to choose it for my own tastes, which is why I taste it carefully at the event. The 1st Masumi Kurabiraki 2025 -Party at Masumi - 5/31 10:00-15:00 You can drink a fair amount of 12 different kinds of sake, so if you drink at a healthy pace, it will take quite a while.
