Glorious Mt.Fuji闇鳴秋水 無濾過生原酒

The year 2023 ended with Yami Naru Akimizu. It is the auldest of the three bottles I bought at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta Tokyo! 😄🍶 After the party settled down for the night, my son's wife and I started the after-party! 😅 This was my first time to try Eiko Fuji and it is delicious! My wife also said it was delicious and we continued to drink more. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, but it is still a pure sake, so we are enjoying it with a strong umami flavor. We had a delicious sake at the end of the year 😊.

This is the second of three bottles I purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta Tokyo, the first "Tasake" in five years😚. The aroma is not so assertive right after opening the bottle, but when you put it in your mouth, you first feel a fizzy sensation, and a hint of sweetness and fruity flavor fills your mouth. 😄 The feeling that it is so refreshing is indescribable, and you can enjoy it as much as you want. 😅🍶. Conclusion, "Tasake" is delicious ❗

This is one of the three bottles I bought at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta Tokyo during my recent visit to Tokyo. It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of Shichibon-yari. It is also available in Kyoto, but I bought it as a set of 3 bottles, so I thought it was a good deal. The other two bottles will be released later. It's been a while since I had it, but it's still delicious. I can't describe the feeling of it disappearing down the back of my throat. I had it cold today as I usually do, but next time I would like to try it heated.

Today, I celebrated my grandson's 75th birthday and opened a bottle that I had reserved for him. It is a junmai daiginjo, but it is a delicious sake with a strong umami flavor. I have not had Shichiken since I visited the brewery about 10 years ago and bought a bottle of Junmai Ginjo. It has been a long time since we had a lively day full of celebration.

We had it at Nakamura-Ro in Gion. The label has Nakamura-Ro's name on it, so I assume it was originally bottled, but I think it is a standard junmai ginjo. It is an easy-to-drink food sake that is refreshing and does not interfere with food.

I hadn't had Echino Kanme in over a decade. 😅I knew about this brand, but I never bought it because I felt like I could always buy it, but I happened to find it at the Aeon Mall, so I bought it just when I ran out of sake for the evening. I bought it because I had just run out of sake for dinner 😄. The taste is light and dry like Niigata's sake, and the aftertaste disappears quickly. It is very easy to drink. The "Yume no Tobira" that I uploaded earlier was a traditional sake, but I felt this was a sake for these times. It is a refreshing and easy to drink sake. 🍶

It is said that this sake is brewed by converting the sound of Mozart's 40th symphony into vibrations. The aroma was not very strong and the mouthfeel was not distinctive. Overall, it is light and easy to drink. It does not interfere with any dishes, but rather shows its presence casually.

My brother, who lives in Chiba, brought this as a souvenir from back home. It is brewed with "So-no-Mai" sake rice produced in Chiba, and its unique unfiltered, effervescent taste and mild mouthfeel made me want to drink more and more. Easy to drink! It is easy to drink 🍶😄.

My daughter and her husband drank this brand when they lived in Uozu city for work when they first got married. I found it at Isetan in Kyoto station the other day, and bought it out of nostalgia. 😅🍶. It has a light yellowish hue, and a rich, mellow flavor spreads in the mouth with a slight gassy sensation. I paired it with yakitori from Shokkiya today, and the robust flavor was as good as the yakitori, and I could feel the flavor clinging to my tongue. 😄😄Uozu city is a land of abundant Tateyama subterranean water, but I have a feeling that there is a North Sea in Uozu. Try it 😚😄😄.

I happened to find it at a sake store where I usually stop by and bought it without a second thought. It has been a while since I have had Fushimi sake, but I felt a sense of security in the mild, slightly sweet taste of the rice flavor 😄 This is a new brewery, and I look forward to its future development 😄.

I bought this when I went on a trip to Tottori in July and had it sitting in the fridge until I finally got around to opening it. It has a hint of ginjo aroma 😄🍶, but when you put it in your mouth, it is light and smooth, and it goes down your throat smoothly, with a sharp finish. It is what is called "light and dry". This type of sake is probably not suitable for my son's wife, who always drinks with me at night. I think she will probably come over next week, so I'd like to leave some for her to drink. 😅

As you said, it smells like yogurt and tastes like yogurt itself with a sour taste. I have never tasted this flavor before! My son's wife also said it was delicious and ended up emptying the 4-gos. bottle. It's still the same relationship between the wife and mother-in-law of a drinker. I'm not sure what to say 😅🍶.

I bought this in Sakaiminato City during my trip to Tottori in the middle of the rainy season. This is my first visit to Tottori. ✨ The aroma was mellow and the palate was full of rice flavor. I had it cold today, but I would like to enjoy it warmed up at a later date for a different taste. I will enjoy it again later when it is heated.

My son and his wife gave this to me as a Father's Day gift. It has a 😄gorgeous aroma and is a little sweet to drink, but then it goes down smoothly with a light bitterness. I felt like I could have as much as I wanted, and I was still in a drinking mood with my son's wife. 😅🍶

My daughter and her husband gave this to me as a Father's Day gift. I couldn't help smiling at the sake made by one of the few breweries in Kagoshima Prefecture following Satsushu Masamune. It was thanks to my daughter and son-in-law's thoughtfulness. 🤣 It has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of fruit, with a slightly effervescent feel. It has a slightly sweet mouthfeel and I enjoyed the pleasant taste with a slight bitterness. 😙🍶

My son and his wife came over for Father's Day, so I opened a bottle of Icebreaker that I had left on reserve. The first time we drank it as it was, we felt the mellow flavor, but the next time we drank it on the rocks, the taste changed 180 degrees and it became smooth and refreshing. My son's wife also enjoyed it and drank more and more. (😄I had a little bit of "Ganki" left over from the last time I drank it, so I tried to compare the two, but they are totally different! 😅😅 I was again drinking with my son's wife in the mood of a pub 😄.

Nice to meet you, chichi: ☺️ What a great feeling to be in a pub🏮 with your son's wife. ❤️ My son is not married yet, so it would be nice if he and his wife could have a drink together like this. It is my future dream 🥰.

It has been a long time since we have had "Ganki". It is a summer sake with a refreshing taste that does not linger and disappears quickly. It has a slight fizziness and can be paired with just about anything.

The aroma is not so strong, but the sharp flavor spreads in the mouth and quickly disappears down the throat with a sharp taste. I served it with mackerel sushi from Izushige in Gion, Kyoto, which had a lot of fat on it, and it washed away the fat from the fish nicely. It has been a while since I had a good, crisp sake.

It has a fruity taste. It is a fruity drink that goes down your throat and it has a taste that does not linger. I paired it with Spanish mackerel and sea bream sashimi for dinner today, and it was quite good.

The mouthfeel is soft and slightly effervescent. It has a crisp, clean taste and is easy to pair with anything. Today, I enjoyed drinking it alone with a side dish of burdock root and kakiage (deep fried prawns). I enjoyed it with a glass of wine.
