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.

Dear Jay & Nobby I was curious about this drink because I see it a lot at Sakénawa and this was my first time drinking it. It was a very unique taste and the kind of nourishment that you can only get from this drink. Enjoy!

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. The following have already been submitted. 14 Junmai Choujyu Kurekuchi 15 Junmai Chouji Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki Ajiginjo 16 Misonotake Junmai Ginjo Murasaki Tsuyuuso 17 MAKISUI Junmai Daiginjo Bottled and once fired As for my impressions after finishing the tour, I could recognize that each of the various brands has its own brewer. 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.

Purchased at a sake brewery in GW. They also sold T-shirts and other goods, including Igarashi's pink label. I didn't know that Igarashi is not limited to only authorized dealers.

It goes well with Japanese food. Purchased at a sake brewery in GW. Sake brewery in Kujukuri. The owner was very talkative and told us a lot about Chiba Prefecture's sake. He is in the unique business of putting customers' names on sake labels. It might be good as a gift.

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. The opening greeting by the president, "Good evening," brought a smile to my face.

springtail (wingless insect of the order Collembola) Mature aroma. A woody, caramel-like aroma spreads in the mouth, with a sticky sweetness and umami. When you swallow it, your tongue will feel a slight bitterness afterwards. The taste is rich and delicious. 19 degrees Celsius! Sake wrapped in Yomiuri Newspaper. A sake brewery in Kimitsu. Cheeba-kun's stomach. Too bad we couldn't go there in time. Purchased at a sake shop in Kururi. The sake brewery in Kimitsu has a great selection of sake. It was interesting to hear the local stories. (The smell of cigarettes was amazing...).

Ootsutsuzumi Hana no Tomo Co. Little fragrance, with a fruity aroma in the depths. Soft in the mouth. It has no habits and is almost watery, although it gives the impression of being a little sweet. A good, calm sake. This sake is named after a place in Matsuo-cho, Yamatake City. Purchased at a sake brewery during GW. One of the sake breweries in Kujukuri. The building is magnificent and the garden decorated with lava-derived rocks is lovely.

Soft citrus aroma. Slightly sweet. Spreads on the tongue and has no habits at all. Soaks in. A high and tasty one. A high-class sake made with rice from Tomi in cooperation with Daishinshu and Horyomon. Super expensive. Furthermore, the plum wine made by Assumption became the best in Japan last year. Furthermore, there is also a sake called "Sake without Assumption," which is twice as expensive as this one, but it is actually the same sake, made from a different pressing lot, and is said to be particularly delicious. What an amazing world! Dai-Shinshu no Kurabiraki - Love Thanksgiving - 2025 5/25 11:00 ~15:00 Tickets are a bit expensive, but it's understandable since it's both a food event and a festival. Yesterday and today, Chushin is hot with Kurabiraki and craft fairs.

major design A sweet, apple-scented sake. It is not a typical Daisetsukei sake, but I like it. Directly pumped from the limited server during the brewery opening. It is fresh and crisp. I think it goes well with Sanzokuyaki. Azumino Ikeda-machi Sake Brewery Festival 2025 5/24 10:00-16:00 Daisukei and Fukugen in Ikeda-machi opened their breweries for the first time in 6 years. The Daisetsueki venue was very lively with a live performance by a singer from Nagano Prefecture and many oily stalls. The brewery tours were good with quite professional explanations. There were 14(!) free tastings and 7 paid tastings. It is interesting that the more expensive the tasting is, the more delicious it is. The fresh amazake (sweet sake) that they serve is delicious. I'm sure there are some people who went to the same event as the Kamidori brewery opening, but I couldn't make it.

bragging about one's success at the end of a long road Fresh grapefruit-like aroma and bitterness. Slightly effervescent and tangy. Aroma of rice and smoky aroma in the depths. Dry and easy to drink. Purchased at a liquor store in Oami, Chiba. I went to the sake brewery during GW, but they were sold out of Matsuo Boast. As one would expect. I was told of a liquor store that "sells it if it's still available," and I bought it without incident. The Kujukurihama beach was windy and the waves were high.

bamboo shoots boiled, sliced, fermented, dried or preserved in salt, then soaked in hot water and sea salt 16 Misonotake Junmai Ginjo Murasaki Tsuyuuso Weak pear aroma. Slightly sweet if you say it with the sense of tongue. Like water. (Thin...) 17 MAKISUI Junmai Daiginjo Bottled and fired once Aroma of lemon with a hint of rummy + matured aroma. The taste is firm. It has a sweet taste, but it is dry when you swallow it. Perhaps it is because I drink it while watching sumo wrestling, but Yamae-nishiki seems to be the name of a wrestler. This is the third prize for achieving SAKE country tourism. I bought a bottle of Chiba sake even though there was still some left, so my fridge is feeling very overwhelmed.

Shiga Izumi Sake Brewery Delicious good. Apple aroma. Sweet and delicious with fruity and juicy acidity. Slightly effervescent and lively. Slight bitterness. It's refreshing and crisp. Umeyuee. I like it. Purchased at Zenkojiya Sake Brewery, a liquor store in Nakano City. It is located between Marusei Sake Brewery and Igaya Sake Brewery. If you are not driving, you can taste it. I bought it for myself while I went to buy the hottest souvenir of Nagano Prefecture, "Tsuki no Usagi no Unko" (a rabbit of the moon). Next time, I would like to buy Shigaizumi as a souvenir.
