This time it is Junmai Daiginjyo Kame-no-o from Takihama. This sake was brought back from a visit to the nearby brewery after visiting Akame 48 Waterfalls in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, back in the GW season. I think it was a Junmai Daiginjo series, and only this one from Kame-no-o was aged 3 years? (Sorry my memory is a little fuzzy on the number of years 🙏 ) It was only fate that I came across this one 😆. I will have it chilled. The bottle was opened with a whistling sound, which I didn't expect. The color has a hint of yellow. The top aroma is of plump bananas with a refreshing muscat-like acidity. It is already beautiful. From the fine, smooth mouthfeel, the banana flavor and light muscat acidity blend together smoothly, and the taste finishes with a slight bubbly bitterness, leaving a lingering rice taste on the tongue. As the temperature approaches room temperature, the fullness of the flavor gently expands and is delicious. Taki's signature dry and refreshing taste is refined and subdued, It is a good sake with a mild sense of maturity combined with a freshness. The common brands are good, but this is the kind of sake that should be served with Japanese courses, I would like to include this kind of sake in a Japanese course. The beauty of the fresh greenery and waterfalls at Akame 48 Waterfalls is so beautiful that I can't get it out of my mind's eye. I want to go back to soak up the negative ions!

This time it is Maki-hata TSUBASA. Maki-hata is another line of Takachi-yo sake, which is derived from the fact that Takachi-yo Brewery is located at the foot of Mount Makiki-yama, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains. It is served well chilled. Crystal color. The top aroma is sweet, with a bright fruity aroma of strawberries and ripe apples, with a freshness of ramune. From the refreshing, fine, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, the fruity sweet and sour taste reminiscent of strawberries flows with a cool rummy feeling, and the fresh, gentle bitterness gives it a good sharp taste. The fruity taste is mild because the alcohol content is kept at 14%, and the umami of the rice can be clearly felt. Perfect for acclimatizing to the heat of summer ✨. It's been a while since I've had a Takachiyo type. The Makiki was pleasantly balanced, not too sweet and not too light 😊. Refreshingly fruity and easy to pair with Japanese food. The barcode is 🍶 and cute😍.

This time it is an active nigori from Furoizumi. It is a sake from Kosai, Shiga Prefecture. The horizontal letter "furousen" is different from the usual small stylish 😎. It is served well chilled. Be careful when opening the bottle, This time, when I opened the lid, I was relieved that it didn't spurt out with a gorgeous pop. It has a medium degree of nigoriness, The top aroma is sweet like a yellow peach with a fresh greenish greenness, and you can feel a strong sense of rice. The juicy rice flavor flows thickly from the foamy and bubbly aroma, and it finishes dry with a strong bitterness. The taste is refreshing and dry, with the typical Burozumi flavor that is worth drinking. Let's warm it up. When heated, the juicy, milky flavor of the rice can be enjoyed lightly, and it is delicious with a fresh and tangy taste. Oh! The first Furoisen of the year. Perfect for the entrance of the rainy season. Let's drink a refreshing Furozumi and be in good spirits 💪✨. I miss Lake Biwa💕.

This time, it is a raw yeast version of Katano Sakura's Hyakuten Manten. This sake is from Katano City, Osaka. I really wanted to make this sake the Kiri number! It's been three years since I've had this one. We were able to increase the harvest of sake rice cultivation that we are working hard on at Katano Orihime University, In addition to our regular fast brewing, we now have a long-sought after sake called "Namoishimo" 🙌. First, at room temperature. The color has a hint of green. The aroma is sweet like cotton candy with a hint of green bamboo. Mild mouthfeel. From the fresh and green banana aroma, there is a slightly darker sweetness with a caramelized taste. There's a cheesiness too. The second half has a crisp finish with a tangy acidity and bitterness. The balance of sweetness and bitterness can be more gently adjusted by heating it up to a hotter temperature. The complex umami and acidity of the sake's raw yeast stock enhances the full-bodied sweetness and umami that is typical of Katano Sakura. This sake is the one that inspired me to join Orihime University. It was a great honor to be able to taste it again as a member of Orihime University! This year marks the 10th anniversary of the sake brewing association. This year is the 10th anniversary of the Sake Making Club and the next sake rice has already been started.

Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (3) The last one is Masterpiecea by Laughing Four Seasons. Masterpiece is a sake with the theme of technical study and a retrospective and return to classic ginjo, I tasted it at last year's sake brewery tour and enjoyed it so much that I left without buying it, which I regretted a lot 💧. This year, I was determined to bring it back! This year, I decided to bring it back! Masterpiece has A (Yamadanishiki) and Un (Watabune), and I decided to bring back A this time. I decided to bring A back this time. The color is slightly greenish. The nose has aromas of white peach, pear, melon, muscat-like fruit, lily-like white flowers, bay leaves, and white dumplings. The moment you take a sip, you will be surprised by the smooth, flowing, luscious taste. The fruity, floral aroma has a clear, gentle, full-bodied sweet flavor, and the sweetness is supported by an elongated acidity. The taste is a slow, lingering sweetness, with a greenish bitterness that mingles in the latter half of the taste. The complex sweetness and acidity flow together gracefully and cohesively, just like the name Masterpiece 💕💕. I am glad to have had a chance to taste it again! I'll have to go back next year for the Tokaido sake brewery tour in spring! I'll have to go again next year for the Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in spring!

Spring Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour (2) Dragon Boat Festival🎏 is Kabuto-chan. The second bottle is Suzukabuto. It is junmai ginjo new sake. It is safe to say that this one went out with a real mission. The rice is Ginbuki, a sake rice from Shiga Prefecture, just like the first bottle, Hatsuzakura. It is served cold. It has a slight yellow hue. The top aroma is very mild. It has a juicy aroma reminiscent of fresh bamboo grass, young dried grapes, and oranges. The mouthfeel is round. From the bluish alcoholiness, the juicy orange aroma and acidity are gently developed with a smooth and robust rice feel. The taste is sharp with a tangy, bitter and pungent flavor. The refreshing acidity typical of junmai ginjo-style sake, the familiar rice flavor, and the sharpness of the aftertaste are all nicely integrated. It is a moderate, not too hard-core food sake, and the more you drink, the more you will want another glass. And if you heat it up The contrast between the plumpness of the freshly cooked rice and the tangy bitterness is again delicious. I would like to try it with mackerel sushi as an entrée.

This time, since it's GW, I'm going to insert an odd one 😎. Gekkeikan's Special Free, We will compare two non-alcoholic sake tasting beverages with zero sugar content. Black Tastes like Daiginjo dry sake. Gentle sweetness with a fresh aroma like ramune and a tangy, spicy kick. Blue Taste reminiscent of Daiginjo. Blue has a stronger flavor. The sweetness from the rummy taste is thicker, and the balance with the tangy and spicy aftertaste is more to my liking. I wonder if the yuzu extract is used in both cases to give the sweetness a spicy edge. The taste made me miss sake 💕. GW is our annual camping trip. This year we went from Nara to the border of Mie prefecture. Soni Plateau and Akame 48 waterfalls. Hiking in fresh green ⛰️ Refresh yourself with fresh greenery with your whole body. However, I was the only adult on this trip, I was the only adult in the group and my companions told me to stop drinking 😭. I was told by my companions that I was not allowed to drink alcohol 😭. I tried to resist with nonalcoholic beverages. I'm not trustworthy. Indeed, the next morning on the mountain road 🚗 from Soni Plateau to Akame Falls I was filled with a sense of urgency in the car💧. I lined them up at the campsite, Did it give off a certain atmosphere?

Spring Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour (1) After Iga Sake, Kouga Sake🥷. This year, I had no time and headed only for a quick stocking up. The first bottle is Hatsuzakura. I like New Hatsusakura too much, This year, I went to Shiga to pick it up 💕 again. This time I brought back a bottle of Gintaro-kun's raw sake. By the way, Taro and his wife were selling it. It is served cold. Pale yellow-green color. The top aroma is of orange and young raisins. From the soft mouthfeel, The juicy orange flavor gently blossoms and the umami of the rice flows smoothly. The second half is tightened with sweet acidity and mild bitterness, and finishes with a lingering taste of rice. It is best to warm sake just before heating. The rice is freshly cooked and fluffy. But from the way it warmed up, it would be better to keep it cold or at room temperature. If it had been hi-ire, it might have been different. I can't wait to try it! I had prepared chicken marinated in salted malt for supper, but I came home late, so I thought I'd share with those waiting for supper (1) If you grill it, you can eat it as soon as possible. (2) It takes time, but you can deep fry it. (2) It takes a long time, but we can deep fry it. The unanimous vote was for fried chicken! I thought to myself, "Well, that's good! I thought, "I'll deep fry it, I was satisfied with the fried food and the pairing 😋. By the way, I think I prefer grilled zucchini to deep-fried zucchini.

When heated, the acidity and bitterness become more pronounced, and the richness of the creamy rice is more pronounced. Umu-umu-umu. Mie Nishiki is no longer brewed.

Like the third sake, Takasago, it is brewed in Nabari. It was selected as the sake for the dinner party at the Ise-Shima Summit. It is served lightly chilled. The color is crystal with a hint of yellow. The nose is of blue melon, honeysuckle, chervil, and freshly pounded rice cakes. The mild mouthfeel is followed by a slightly sweet aroma with a thick creamy rice flavor and a bitter, pungent aftertaste that is tightened up. It is a sake that delivers the delicious taste of rice without decoration. It is perfect as a food sake! Another good sake. It is my favorite type of sake💕. They have a limited edition of nama sake, and it was recommended to me so much that I hesitated and went for the hi-ire version. I want to take home a bottle of nama sake next time!

Welcome Spring with Iga Sake (3) Iga Sake Fair this spring. The third bottle is a regular sake from Takasago. The third bottle is a regular sake from Takasago, a locally distributed brand of Jikin. It is a sake that you should get because you have come all the way to Iga. I wanted to get this sake. I drank it lazily, so my impression is more relaxed than usual😅. First, at room temperature. It has a crystalline color, The top aroma is a mild citrus aroma with freshness. The light mouthfeel is followed by a gentle citrus sweet and sour umami flavor. Takasago is fruity and has a good drinking quality. It is said that it used to be thinner and not as good. I'll heat it up from here. ♨️🍶 First, we warmed it up. It's a temperature range that enhances the juiciness while retaining its freshness. Raise the temperature a little more and go for the full-on warming. The juiciness is subdued and the fluffiness of the rice stands out. We took our time heating up the sake, Looking back at my life, I realize that I've been asked to join the staff and that my life has taken an interesting turn. The inside of my life has remained almost the same, including the fact that I am still a bit insensitive. So, I would like to say thank you to everyone at Sake no Wa.

Welcome Spring with Iga Sake! Iga Sake Fair this spring. The second one is Kirigakure Saizo. The second bottle is "Saizo Kirigakure," a sake made by Ota Sake Brewery. I wonder if the name "Hanzo" will ring a bell. It was originally made by Nakai Sake Brewery in Mie-Nishiki, but Ota Sake Brewery took over the brand name, and the sake was registered with Nakai Sake Brewery. When I was shopping at a liquor store in Iga, a customer who is a Hanzo fan came in and said he had to buy the new Kirigakure Saizo sake, so I took him home 😊! So I took him home 😊. The color is pale and cloudy. The top aroma is refreshing. It has a fizzy and foamy mouthfeel, like a cider with a gentle rice flavor. It melts in the mouth and has a refreshing taste, but it is not only light, it also has depth. It is a light, refreshing and comfortable sake. It may seem light, but it is 17 degrees, so be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️ The contrast of flavors is clear even when it is lightly warmed up. It is a good choice for Hanzo fans to take home. The second bottle is also good. I want to buy this sake again next year 😍.

Welcome Spring with Iga Sake! Iga Sake Fair this spring. Mie Prefecture went out to 🥷Iga, the home of the ninja, to visit a local sake shop I met at the event and brought back 5 sake 😊. The first one was a special Honjozo draft sake from Tenga Nishiki. This sake is made with Yamadanishiki from Iga and uses white malted rice only for the sake mother. It is served cold. It has a crystalline color with a fizzy, bubbly taste. The nose is fresh and cool with orange to apricot sweet and sourness. It has a mild mouthfeel with a fine effervescence. It has a fresh coolness like cider, a cute sweet and sourness reminiscent of apricots and mandarin oranges, a creamy and full-bodied riceiness, and a finish that is full-bodied and crisp with a bitter bitterness. By adding alcohol to the original richness of the sake, the balance of aroma and sharpness is beautifully balanced with a light mouthfeel, making it a very enjoyable drink. If you come across this sake, you must drink it! As the back of the bottle says, there was a lot going on last year. There was also the Suzuka brewing, I'm glad to see that they were able to brew their own sake this season 😌. The brewer's dedication to the brewing of this sake is very evident.

It is a new series of Yatagarasu and is made entirely from rice grown in Nara Prefecture, RED is a gorgeous Yamadanishiki, RED is gorgeous with Yamada Nishiki, while BLUE is rich with Gin no Sato's Yamahai. The label was also designed by the toji, and is a smart yatagarasu (three-legged crow). Serve cold. It has a greenish crystal color. The aroma is of strawberries with a hint of sweetness at the top. The mouthfeel is a bit creamy, and the sweet and sour taste of fresh and thick strawberry jam spreads gorgeously. The taste is soft and bitter, and it finishes with a clear aftertaste of sweetness that contains juicy strawberries. A gorgeous, juicy sake with crimson ripe 🍓 like the label. It has a juicy taste that is different from the Yatagarasu so far, and is sure to be popular. It was worth the drive to Nara to get it 😊. I should have brought Blue back too💦.

From the mild mouthfeel, The fresh fruity sweetness and the mild banana sensation full-bodied rice flavor with a mild banana sensation. A slightly strong bitterness with a tangy, pungent taste, and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. The dry fruity flavor that is refreshing and never gets old is a stable, quintessential 👍. And when served warmed, The aroma of cooked rice stands out softly and is delicious. I prefer to heat it up once and then cool it down to lukewarm. But this photo 📷 I drank a whole bottle, I forgot to take a picture of the bottle and peeled off the label. I forgot to take a picture of the bottle and removed the label ἓ I rummaged around and found this... There it was, the sake bottle! I'm going to put our family's sake cups on the table.

This time, we would like to introduce Adachi Nozo's Danchi Craft. Adachi Nozou brewery has a sake brewery in a room of a UR housing complex called Tomida Danchi in Takatsuki City, Osaka. Adachi Nozou brewery and and the orchard adjacent to Tomida-danchi. and the orchard adjacent to the Tomita Danchi. and orchards adjacent to Tomida Danchi. This sake is made from Buntan (pomelo) and mandarin oranges harvested in the orchard adjacent to the Tomita Danchi. There are two types of sake: light nigori and nigori, and I chose the light nigori. It is served well chilled. The appearance is a pale yellow light nigori like lemon squash. The top aroma is a combination of sweet koji aroma and orange aroma. The mild mouthfeel is juicy and tastes like nothing other than orange juice. The juice is so fresh that you may forget it contains alcohol. The 8% alcohol content is designed to be enjoyed by those who do not normally drink sake in their apartment complexes. The alcohol content is 8%, which is a good choice for people who don't usually drink sake, The juiciness is not lost even when drunk with ice. I am sure the people who managed the orchard would be happy to taste such a juicy juice 😊. I'm sure the people who managed the orchard would be very happy if they could have a sake brewery in their apartment complex. I found a wonderful collaboration craft sake 🍊✨.

This time it is Fudo. The first Chiba sake of the year is from Ero Fudo💕. It is served cold. It has a nice milky white color. The aroma is of white peaches, sweet and sour strawberries, and sweet acacia flowers. A spring breeze. Silky and light on the palate. Mixed with the aroma of gorgeous white peaches, soft rice flavor with silky oli, and a fresh, fizzy, firm bitterness that is refreshing and crisp. Sweet aroma and dryness, Easy to drink with no evaporation hamper. It is a spring sake. Is this "byang byang" noodle soup? It might go surprisingly well with the spicy flat noodles from the convenience store. （What's biang biang?) It suddenly became warm this weekend, I went to Tsukigase Plum Grove to feel spring, but the plum trees were still in bud. It's in the mountains, of course. However, the color of the sake was exactly like the color of the misty smoke in the light rain in the photo! Waiting for the plum blossoms in Tsukigase Let's get a head start on spring with Erofudo 🎎.

Another one this time. It is Takatsugawa by Fusozuru. It is from Shimane Prefecture. I saw Hiraccio-san drinking it and longed for it 🙌. First at room temperature. The color is a solid yellow. The aroma is mildly savory with a hint of maturity. It smells like caramel, soy sauce, and cream cheese. The mouthfeel is gentle. The palate is drowned in the complex flavor of aged rice with a moderate acidity. When heated up, it becomes smoother and more balanced, and you can just keep on drinking it. It has a relaxing and soothing taste. When tasted with a thick Shigaraki-ware sake cup, the warmth of the clay makes it taste even better. The warmth of the clay makes it even softer and happier 💕. Aizu girl and the Takatsu River I will relax my body and soul in the late winter. What a good evening drink 😊.

Good morning, Hirupeco 😊. I see you drank Takatsugawa. It's a very colorful and delicious sake, isn't it? It must have been an exquisite evening drink with the Shigaraki-ware boar cup and the Aizu Musume.
