We enjoyed seasonal vegetables and roasted shime saba (mackerel) at Tokijin-Matsuyama in Tobe-cho, Iyo-gun, Ehime Prefecture.
Nice to meet you, Hatsuyukibai!
A little mellow and fresh on the palate, it was a sweet, delicious, and gentle sake✨.
It gently accompanied the food ✨.
The next day we visited the brewery and bought a bottle of ogara-mi nama-shu ^ ^.
I checked and there were 34 breweries and lots of sake breweries...
Ehime's sake is also delicious 😋.
This is my first time drinking Akita's Asamai Sake Brewery ✨.
The frogs on the label are adorable!
The aroma is a little floral.
The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing.
Clear with no cloying taste.
Nothing stuck in the mouth, a delicious sake ✨.
The ritual of opening the bottle is required✨
Just loosen the screw cap a bit and the oli will spontaneously stir with vigorous bubbles✨
I had to open and close the bottle for a few minutes ✨.
Melon aroma
Strong gasiness
Dry but tasty and sweet ✨
Delicious 😋.
With the horishi spiced chicken wings... ✨
Mild aroma with a hint of Japanese citrus and malted rice
Moderate sweetness
Slightly fizzy and foamy
It is a good match with fried food as it drains off the fat.
The light body is well balanced by the sweetness of the ori.
The label and bottle are also cool.
Delicious 😋.
Good evening, zotti. I chose Kitaro because Chiyomusubi was a blank prefecture for all the prefectures. It was a great choice of brewery because it was delicious😊.
AAJI ✨Chiyomusubi is delicious 😋.
I had an image of San'in sake as being heavy-boned and robust, but it is well-balanced and modern, and I feel like I was betrayed in a good way ✨
Nice to meet you Banshu Issen ✨.
I found it in a supermarket when I went to Hyogo for work 💡.
About 1,100 for a #4 bottle.
I thought it was probably a local product.
The pop-up explained that it is a long-time favorite of the locals.
The aroma is mild.
Sweetness in the mouthfeel with a touch of gas ✨
Gentle acidity, umami, and richness, and it goes down smoothly ✨
Wow! Delicious 😋.
Day 2, chilled...
Slightly sharper.
The balance of sweetness and acidity is exquisite without changing the gasiness ✨.
A truly versatile sake that can be paired with any ingredient ✨
Banshu Issen's basic line, you can't go wrong buying it if you see it!
The bubbles are so strong that the cork flies off the bottle ✨The bubbles overflow!
The aroma is mild, sweet, juicy, and full-bodied.
The gasiness is refreshing and the soft bitterness in the aftertaste is refreshing!
It's a real treat ✨!
You can drink it in a gulp without feeling any alcohol, but it is 15 degrees so you will get drunk 😛.
The bottle, label, and white paper bottle cover are sophisticated and beautiful ✨.
Sweet and modern
Almost no alcohol.
Slightly gassy and refreshing...
I sincerely think it's delicious
A local treasure ^ ^.
Arabashiri, Funakuchi, standard Junmai Ginjo, and this Junmai Ginjo Orizake... (just my personal preference) lol
Highly satisfying on its own.
But it also has the depth of nostalgia that allows it to be used with any Japanese or Western foodstuff... ☆.
Let's go buy it again!
Naritaya is a local izakaya chain in Okayama ✨.
Among them, Sakae-machi branch is a super sake mania ^ ^.
The snacks are delicious and cheap 😋.
Naritaya PB light nigori from Kamo Goba, clean dry mouthfeel, gassy, with a lingering umami sweetness, and a beautiful clean finish...^ ^ ^
Delicious✨
We always have about 20 different types of sake in our lineup✨
Sake beginners and veterans alike can enjoy a wide range of sake... ✨.
Sake brewed by Obuse Winery ✨
The aroma is a mild ginjo aroma
Sweet and sour and refreshingly delicious!
Refreshing and refreshing, it's perfect for this time of year ✨
With spiced grilled chicken wings.
Opens with a nice sound✨
Slightly gassy ✨.
Sweet and juicy with pleasant acidity and bitterness.
Very tasty ✨
It is a 13% unfiltered raw sake, but it is perfectly drinkable, probably due to the richness of Omachi.
By itself, the bitterness was a bit strong on the first day, but on the second day it was in the best balance...✨
The bitterness is also strangely not noticeable when paired with spring ingredients.
Thank you for the delicious meal while watching the cherry blossoms begin to fall 😋.
Fire-brewed once
Gentle sweetness and umami, good value sake with a bit of spiciness on the finish ✨.
Not flashy, but well-balanced and a good sake for a meal ✨
With Spanish mackerel sashimi ^ ^.
I've been anxiously awaiting Ina and Akabe.
So glad I finally got to drink it ✨
This is delicious 😋‼️
It's so sharp and fresh and hoppy...
Repeat when you see it next‼️
I can also taste the flavor and richness of the rice ✨.
The balance of sweet and sour is modern and good✨
Nice to meet you Chiebijin,
The label is so cute, I bought a packet ✨.
The bottle has a warning label on it.
It was opened with a nice sound, but the fizz was tame.
Sweet and sour and easy to drink.
It has a full flavor and richness thanks to the orikagari.
The body is slightly medium light✨.
It is a sake that can be served with both Japanese and Western cuisine, but be careful not to drink too much.
Echigo-zakura's pink label available at local supermarkets and drugstores.
It's called "mellow dry", but it's deliciously sharp ✨.
Super cosy ✨.
I've never seen a four-pack bottle before.
By the way, 580 yen... ‼️
If it is a Japanese food, it is versatile.
You can drink it smoothly without any discomfort.
Beautiful sake ✨
Gorgeous, sweet, juicy, spicy, just like the pink label.
The wine has a refreshing sweetness and acidity.
Minerality and citrus bitterness accentuate the complexity of the wine ✨.
You can't go wrong with Eiko Fuji 🎵
The brand changes every month, so it's worth checking out ✨
Shuwashuwa as usual ✨.
Sweet, rich, and full-bodied, probably due to the 80% polishing ratio of Omachi rice.
It's as good as you'd expect to feel the complexity of the flavor and yet be smooth and crisp 👍.
Delicious 😋.
When the time came to give a toast at the social event, I asked the venue to let me bring in some alcohol for everyone to drink ✨.
Peach Village Funakuchi (Okayama)
Amami Momoten (Yamaguchi)
Yamanotsu Good Times Himitsu (Fukuoka)
In order of sweetest to least from the top.
All three are cloudy nigori nama sake with a fizzy, modern taste, though,
The first one was gone ✨ and the second one was a bit more easy to drink! and they were the first to disappear ✨.
Even those who don't usually drink sake seemed to enjoy it, and all three bottles were empty.
Sweet and sour, fresh and fruity✨
Banana, peach...
The aroma is gorgeous and full✨
Full-bodied with a clean finish!
The sweet aftertaste is pleasant.
I can't wait to drink the next one. ❣️
Hitakami's seasonal sake is so modern ✨!
Good evening, zotti!
It's so delicious here: ⤴️
What a great idea with sashimi✨
I had it a while ago and it brought back memories of how delicious it was 😋.
We bought it at the end of the year and let it sit for a while ✨
Sweet and mellow with a slight pizzazz✨.
I love the freshness of the raw sake.
As expected, it's so good 👍.
It goes down so smoothly on its own....
I want to buy it again next year ^ ^.
