I happened to find a fair in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture at Hakata Station.
Guerrilla fair for 4 hours only🤣
Two sake breweries in Saiki City were also there, so I bought small bottles of both!
First up was my first Saiki Hisho for drinking at home!
You can often find this at liquor stores in Oita, but not so much in Fukuoka 💦.
Cold sake.
The aroma is light, but has a woody heaviness to it.
Smooth on the palate with a weighty mid-palate and finish.
Some sweetness lingers on the tongue.
It is rather dry than very dry.

Purchased at a Wakanami tasting and sale before.
It's a raw Wakanami Jun Dai, which is only served at events.
Rika also purchased and reviewed it: ☺️
Cold sake
Gorgeous aroma like muscat with a hint of sweetness.
It goes down smoothly on the palate with ease.
Very light with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
After a day of drinking, it has a full-bodied sweetness.
It is a good value for money at around 3,000 yen!

On Saturday the 24th, Mori Sake Brewery, which brews Hiran, opened their brewery!
We also stopped by Fukuda Sake Brewery on our way to the brewery, so this is the second week in a row that we've visited there 🤣.
It was raining heavily on the way there, but by the time we got there, it had started to drizzle. ☔️
The limited edition sake was sold out by mid-afternoon due to the large crowd!
I was able to buy the limited edition sake, so I'll open the bottle later!
I also bought a bottle of Aoten, which I liked last year, so I opened a bottle of that one!
Cold sake!
Gorgeous aroma like green apple!
Slightly milky aroma.
Smooth mouthfeel and fresh acidity.
But compared to last year's sake, it has more of a "sake yeast yeast" feel to it. I wonder if it has increased.
I wonder if the volume increases as you drink more.
I have the impression that it was more refreshing than last year.

The temperature has been very different lately. 3 days ago it was a high of 30 degrees Celsius, but today it's 20 degrees...
I'm going to warm up with a glass of hot sake.
It's been a long time since I've had a saké.
I saw this sake featured in this year's dancyu sake special.
At room temperature
Aroma of chestnut and wood
Mellow and round taste.
Next, try it hot.
Sharp taste that goes in easily.
The volume is not too much.
I prefer it hot.

After last Thursday's trip to Hirado, I spent Friday and Saturday sightseeing in Kagoshima for the first time with an acquaintance!
The main purpose of the trip was to visit the whisky distilleries of Kanosuke and Tsunuki 🥃.
Last Thursday Sakurajima erupted for the first time in several years🌋.
There was so much volcanic ash that even the residents were surprised 😅It rained the whole trip due to the beginning of the rainy season, but it was fun ☺️
And as a souvenir for myself, I bought a bottle of Kagoshima sake, Satsushu Masamune 🍶 It is made by Daiyame, a well-known company in the shochu world!
Cold sake.
Gorgeous aroma with a banana-like richness and acidity.
Mellow sweet type with a refreshing yet lingering sweetness on the tongue.
Voluminous with a slightly long aftertaste.
It would go well with Jidori chicken tataki.

Last Thursday, we went on a brewery tour to Fukuda Shuzo, the westernmost brewery in Japan that brews Fukkai!
It is rare that the public can visit the brewery😊.
I had been wanting to visit Hirado for a while, so I went sightseeing before heading to the brewery 🚗.
There was still some of the limited edition sake from last week's brewery opening still left, so I took it as a souvenir for myself!
Cold sake
The aroma is mild.
Slightly gassy feeling on the tongue
The moderate rice flavor comes quickly.
The taste may be a little stronger than the standard one.
The taste reminds me of the sea in front of the brewery depicted on the label.

I bought it when I went to Kitakyushu for an errand before.
It is the first brand of Gonin Musume, which has a reputation for being stinky(?) in a good way. It is the first brand of Five Daughters, which has a reputation for being "smelly in a good way(?)".
First, at room temperature.
It smells like shiitake mushroom soup stock.
Some people may find it peculiar and harsh.
Smooth mouthfeel and the umami gradually spreads.
There is a slight astringency in the aftertaste.
Next, warm it up.
The mouthfeel is smooth and the umami spreads quickly.
I prefer it warmed up.

I forgot to put the purple space in the fridge yesterday and was surprised when I drank it cold, the trendy saké is super sour!
I knew it was by design. I thought it was designed to be very sour.
Terada Honke must be served hot.

Good morning, fukuchane-san!
The best temperature range is decided beforehand when you're making the sake.
Personally, I find that if it tastes good at room temperature, it tastes good at other temperatures too 😁.
Recently, there are some strong people who dare to heat sake to hot... 🤭.

At the end of last month, I visited Baba Sake Brewery, which brews Nokomi sake.
It was somewhat relaxing to see how sake is made in this peaceful land surrounded by mountains. ☺️
I learned a lot!
On the way home, we got off at Saga station and went to our favorite liquor store!
Cold sake

The aroma is subdued compared to the other series, which are a bit more floral.

First time at a liquor store.
Only sake for heating up 🍶 Asahikiku, Benten Musume, Lifumi, Kasumitsuru, Tenju, Chiketsuru, Hachibei Sakaya, Shikizakura, Suginishiki, Kikuhime, etc.
But that's good 😊.
The only one in Fukuoka city? It's been a while since I bought a bottle of Furoizumi.
At room temperature.
The first sip is heavy and has a peculiar taste.
But as the meal progresses, it mellows out.
It has a good umami and a crisp and sharp taste.
Hot sake
Unusually, it doesn't have the fullness of the other Yamahai sake I've tasted so far.
The aftertaste is more sharp than the volume of umami.

Purchased at a tasting and sale at a liquor store
Mr. Nonaka, the president of the company, was there so I heard a lot of stories 😆.
There were a lot of extras (?) I also received a bromide of the president that I made a few years ago (photo is on the back) 🤭.
I heard that a sake event originally held in Tokyo will be held in Osaka next month due to the Expo.
I heard that Azumatsuru will be there too, so I might go there on my way back home 🤔.
Cold sake
Sweet and sour aroma
The taste is gentle, not lumpy, and it's made from a traditional sake yeast stock.
Less juicy and gorgeous than other limited edition sake.
but there is a hint of sweetness that is typical of Azumatsuru.

At room temperature
Aroma of nuts and dried shiitake mushrooms
Smooth mouthfeel with a beautiful heaviness.
Not cloying, but just the right amount of mature flavor.
The overall image is relaxed, with a gentle and lively nuance of umami rather than tightly concentrated.

Purchased at the Ko-Imari Sake Brewery Biraki on the 26th
In addition to the Kurabiraki limited edition sake, there was also a limited edition Junmai Daiginjo for export, so I bought it!
It was the last bottle!
The label is fashionable with blue sea waves, which is a characteristic of Imariyaki pottery 😎🌊.
Cold sake
Gorgeous aroma
Slightly smooth on the palate
But the volume increases later on.
Sweet aftertaste and long aftertaste
The rice and polish are the same as the previous junmai daiginjo, but other things are different 🤔.
When I visited the brewery before, they had separate tanks for the former and for export...

On the 25th and 26th, the Ko-Imari Sake Brewery, which brews Mae
I was told about it by the president and the brewer whom I met before for some reason, but....
I overslept and went to the brewery in a rented car.
I left the place only to buy limited sake and say hello to the brewer...
Cold sake
Slight aroma
It's gassy but very subtle.
I personally feel it is more powerful than the previous series, probably due to the fact that it is a draft sake.
It has an astringent taste compared to the light nigori Esperanza.
It can be easily enjoyed on its own, so be careful not to get drunk. ⚠️
