100% Yuuzan-Nishiki I had this at the recommendation of the store owner. The aroma of green apple and the firm sweetness of the rice made me want to drink it again after a long time. It went well with oily fish. I would like to drink Kenkunichi as well!
I am a bad man who is too lenient with himself, thinking it's okay because it's the New Year, even though I have told myself it's not okay to drink during lunch on my day off from work. I found red sea cucumbers on sale at a fish shop and thought they would go well with sake, so I drank some. But it's a great combination of Kuniken and sea cucumbers!
Hanayu - Misato Nishiki
I personally love the sweetness that spreads on the palate, but I think it chooses the right dish. I am always looking for a sake that is like eating a fragrant melon... I hope I will be able to find it this year!
I bought it at a liquor store in Gotemba City... The description said it was like Muscat, but it was more like a light Cabernet Sauvignon, with the umami of rice far away and not distracting from the food. It was my first time to try this sake and I would like to try many other kinds of sake.
This was my first time drinking Miyamanishiki, a sake from Kyoto. It has a banana-like richness, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I had it with some oily sashimi, and the pairing was excellent.
Looking back, I think I drink a lot of Houou Mita's sakes, and I think many of them are fruity and highly aromatic to my liking. This sake also has a gorgeous flavor like muscat and green apple, which made me want to buy it again. I am looking forward to the best sake to drink while looking at other people's postings after posting.
On the anniversary of my father's death, I drank Oroku from Shimane Prefecture, his birthplace. The Hachimaru 2021 brewed with 80% polished rice was my favorite (I want to drink it again). The nigori took a while to degas, but it was fresh and refreshing. The Cho Oroku 2021 Brewing was delicious, but when I compared the two, my favorite was the Hachimaru. Comparing the two makes the difference clear and will be helpful for my next purchase.
Good evening, Cherry 😃.
I'd like to drink a sake that has a connection with your father on the anniversary of his death 🥹.
I've only had Oroku once before at Sandesi 😅I'd like to drink it at home since it's sold at a liquor store near me 🤗.
Sorry for the late reply. And thank you for your reply. The only thing I look forward to is having dinner at home after work. I'm so jealous that the liquor store near me sells it!
Freshly squeezed Kitashika. The price was unbeatable at 980 yen at Super Lopia. It has a good sweetness and sourness, and at this price, I wouldn't mind repeating it. ☺️
I have been to Shimane Prefecture many times, but this is the first time I have tasted this sake. 2021 length diameter, 17.5 alcohol by volume, it was not fruity or light, but delicious and made me think this is Japanese sake. It made me want to visit Shimane Prefecture.
I live in Shizuoka Prefecture, but this is my first time to taste Hana-no-Mai. It is a pure sake, but the alcohol taste on the nose is reminiscent of fireworks? It is a matter of taste, but I don't think I will buy it again.
