At a sake bar in Sakae. The origin and the pinnacle. The sake that made me fall in love with sake. Koji rice 60 Kake rice 60 To be honest, I was a little hesitant to drink it because I was worried that it might have been overestimated. Scary. LOL. But I tried to drink it... It's so good! Very tasty! After the sweetness, what can I describe it as, a feeling of being left out. I have to admit that I was not as impressed as I was then, perhaps my taste buds have become discerning. (Still, it remains one of the best sakes I've ever had.) It was a special sake that made me happy and sad, but I would still like to continue drinking it in the future.

At an underground bar area in Fushimi. Drank for the first time. Polishing ratio 50%. Hmmm! The first thing you feel is a tingling, fizzy sensation! Then comes the sweetness and slight sharpness. It's a good one! I was drunk, so I'll hold off on my favorite for now! It was delicious!

At the underground drinking area in Fushimi. Polishing ratio 50%. Hmmm. I've had other kinds of Takashi no Tsukasa, but I think the strain is similar. The strain means that it seems sharp, but it is actually sweet and slightly carbonated. (personal opinion lol) It was delicious, but I was drunk, so I put my favorite on hold. I will try it again next time when I am sober. But it was delicious. That's for sure.

I drank Kuheiji for the first time. I wanted to drink the sake with the golden letter label, but there was none! It tasted...! It was delicious enough. It has a strong sweetness! But it had a slight fizziness. The sharpness is not so strong. I think it is very easy to drink. I was drunk, so I would like to buy a bottle personally and drink it before re-evaluating! No, it was more than good enough, though!

My favorite raw sake. Mmmm. Naturally, it's good. It has a slight carbonation and a slight sharpness at the end of drinking. This is a sake that does not choose the person who drinks it. Thank you very much for the drink.

The fourteenth generation needs no explanation. When you drink it for the first time, the sweetness is followed by a sharp taste! It is of course very tasty, but on its own, it is not so special...? Of course, it is very tasty, but on its own, it is not so special...? But then.... But when you compare it with other sake (high quality sake), you can see that it has just the right amount of sweetness and aftertaste. This is... The more you drink, the more you will understand the type of deliciousness. I want to drink it again.

Hakurakusei Junmai Ginjo is said to be the ultimate food sake. The price is 2,090 yen for 720ml including tax. Polishing ratio 50%. Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, and although it is supposed to be dry, it is sweet. There is a slight watery aftertaste. However, it is dry with a slight sharpness at the end. (Which is it?) It may be similar to Houraisen's Kai. However, it has more umami than Kai. Personally, it didn't really stick with me. I also tried to drink sake with the tax-paid crab. Hmmm. I thought sweet sake didn't go well with it. LOL.

I bought this bottle when I was touring the liquor stores in Chita Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture. It had been sitting for a while, but I wanted to open a new one, and in the vein of Shizuoka local sake. 1,639 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 55%. Fruity aroma. When I drank it...ah, it was sweet...! On top of that, it's insanely easy to drink! Too cosy! They sold quite a variety of Kaiun on my trip to Shizuoka. I would love to drink the others. At least the unfiltered Junmai Kaiun is my favorite. I hope you will too.

Purchased during a trip to Shizuoka. Purchased at Omura Sake Shop in Hamanako. 1,980 yen including tax for 720ml. Polishing ratio 60 Sparkling sake made with white wine yeast (Bourgogne yeast), with a hint of Champagne. The black bottle with a directly printed label is also quite stylish. Expectations are high. First, the smell. Compared to the normal Abyss, it is a normal sake. In the mouth...! Oh, this is... very grapefruity! This is... very grapefruit lol. Strong carbonation, bitterness, fruity feeling. Is it a carbonated version of the normal? I expected it to be, but it's not at all! No hint of sweetness of the normal, but sour, bitter, carbonated, and reminiscent of grapefruit champagne. (I used "Mio," the pioneer of sparkling sake, as a benchmark, but it is totally different. The carbonation is also quite strong. To put it "simply," it's a high alcohol content grapefruit sour.) However, at the end, you can feel the sake+alcoholic taste. I have the impression that this is quite aggressive. I like citrus fruits, so I think it's a good choice for me. I wonder if it goes well with western cuisine. Of course, following the normal one, it is my favorite! I found it not only at a local sake shop but also at a local supermarket. If you are ever in Shizuoka, you should definitely try it!

Purchased during a trip to Shizuoka. Slightly more expensive because it was purchased at the Well Season Hamanako store. (I had done some preliminary research on local sake before the trip and was going to buy some lol) 300 ml for 780 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 60%. It is said to be sake made with white wine yeast (Burgundy yeast). The black bottle with a directly printed label is also very stylish. Expectations are high. First of all, the smell was gorgeous. The aroma reminded me of white wine. Then, when I put it in my mouth, it was very much like a white wine! But it is definitely sake! It has a moderate acidity, a slight astringency at the end (in a good way), and a sense of alcohol. I made a carpaccio of sea bream with it, and it went well with it. It went with everything. (According to the official recipe, it was made as a food wine. (According to the official description, it was made as a food wine.) I bought a bottle of Abyss sparkling as well to compare, so I'll be drinking it right after this post! Of course, it's my favorite! I found it not only at a local sake shop but also at a local supermarket. If you are ever in Shizuoka, you should definitely try it!

At the all-you-can-eat eel buffet at Lake Hamana. Polishing ratio 50%. (At the kiosk it was 3,200 yen for 720 ml.) Smell is very fruity! Expectations are high! I'm going to drink it! Mmmm, sweet! It's a little thin, but not so much that it's watery! I drank a glass in no time! I would definitely like to try other types of sake! I will definitely keep an eye on this sake in the future! (I will definitely keep an eye on this sake!)

At the all-you-can-eat eel buffet at Lake Hamana. Shizuoka's local sake. Polishing ratio 50%. Sake degree +3 Refreshing and refreshing aroma. From the first sip! A big sigh of umami and dryness! The first sip has a strong umami flavor and dry taste! But the aftertaste is light...? Hmmm...I think it is a new taste that I have never had before. Personally, I did not like it very much... (sorry)

As a gift for passing my certification, my wife, who doesn't know much about alcohol at all (more than I do), bought this for me! She asked the owner of the liquor store to make it sweeter! I was wondering about this sake. It costs about 3,100 yen for 720ml (don't ask me the price lol). Polishing ratio 45%. The alcohol content is a little high at 17%. Well, the aroma of rice, tremendous thickening, and tremendous sweetness. And after the tremendous sweetness, you feel a little stronger alcohol. It is very easy to drink. I have been drinking a lot of Houraisen lately, but the taste is totally different depending on the type! Some I don't like at all, some I prefer... This is the real pleasure of sake. Thanks for the treat! It's my favorite registration (^^)

Nanasho is a sake from Nagano, Japan. I had seen a friend of mine buying it and wanted to try it, so I happened to find it! I bought it immediately. (I have already confirmed that other types of Nanasho are delicious.) Price: 1,760 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 60 First, the smell. As the label says, it smells like apples (not bananas). Drink it. ...! This is it! The banana feeling is amazing! The banana feeling that comes at you along with the trompe l'oeil. It's sweet, but it's not a sweet taste! It has a slightly dry aftertaste, but not dry. But it's not dry, but rather, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm.... If you are looking for a clean and refreshing aftertaste, you may not necessarily be into it. Perhaps it's the low alcohol content, but my wife and mother, who are not strong drinkers, both praised it as being easy to drink. I think this sake is easy to drink even for those who do not usually drink sake. I will add it to my favorites. I will add it to my favorites.

My friend bought it at a convenience store. The price was 990 yen for 720ml including tax. Polishing ratio 60 The label said it was recommended to be heated, so I heated it up. Hmmm... I couldn't taste the flavor at all... It's dry, but I can't taste the umami... (I'm really sorry...) Can anyone give me a recommendation for a good hot sake?

Summer liquor to buy in December. LOL. 2,365 yen for 720ml. Polishing ratio 45 Bought it because of the bottle design. According to the store's pop-up description, it has a crisp flavor with a pineapple aroma. The smell is indeed faintly pineapple. I drank it. For a moment, I thought it would be sweet, but it is dry with a delicious flavor and a slight bitterness comes at the end. This bitterness is not bad; it is an addictive bitterness. I would definitely like to try other kinds of sake. It was delicious.
