We chose Chimera after listening to Mr. Tadatsu of the brewery.
-Koshihikari rice instead of sake rice,
-We used three kinds of koji (white, black, and yellow) instead of one kind of koji.
The brewery's president, Mr. Tadatsu, is very particular about the label.
The label was designed by the president of the brewery!
He named it Chimera, which has a lion's head, a goat's head, and a snake's tail, after the three kinds of koji used.
Hats off to his attention to detail and sense...
Dry but full-bodied.
The flavor spreads out... delicious...
Next, I'd like to try the Spider!
Is it the generation that when I hear the words "ancient variety of sake rice," I think of Pokémon's Kabuto, Omestar, and Ptera, even though they have nothing to do with each other...
I was excited to think of such things, but on the contrary, it was a gentle sake...
Soft and gentle on the palate.
Then, the pear-like fruity taste and the slight taste of pears.... Fruity and a slight alcohol taste comes from it.
Hououmida, as expected!
Next, Sentori!
Hi Taiyou 😃.
Indeed, the combination of these two breweries' patriotic rice 🌾 is legendary Pokémon-level awesome 😁.
Both Bida and Sengoku are great in their own way 😋.
The wine is elegant and comes in smoothly.
It is not dry, but it has a beautiful sharpness.
No, I think it is rather dry.
A gentle mouthfeel, a pleasant sharpness, and a juicy aftertaste.
A beautiful sake!
I purchased this sake directly from the brewery, which I was looking forward to.
I was lucky to get it because it was limited to 600 bottles!
I was also convinced by the story about their commitment to using locally grown edible rice instead of sake rice.
It has a sweet, slightly sparkling taste with a lot of ori.
It was more alcoholic than the one I was allowed to taste.
I think I'm going to get drunk...
For my son's second birthday.
My son was overjoyed with his gift of plastic rails, so with that memory.
...delicious!
The moment I put it in my mouth, following yesterday's Saku - Hakutsuru Nishiki, it was sweet, fruity, gorgeous...
What a feeling!
No, no, no, it's refreshing! Dry!
This wine is so easy to drink...
I like it...
Self-approved as a sake I can recommend!
Hi Taiyo 😃
Happy birthday to your son 🎂🎉!
I can see a future of plastic rails and alcohol ☺️ this is a future of drinking iron 🚃 between father and son 😆.
Sake that is sake-like in the conventional image.
Moderately spicy.
Enjoy it leisurely with some snacks.
Tomorrow is a vacation.
This sake is just right for a laid-back mood.
The label on the back even recommends a sake cup, so I thought it would be a bit sweeter and more feminine...
But... it was a lot spicier than I expected!
Not super dry, of course, but spicier than I expected!
It was a perfect complement to the richness and sweetness of the Houbamisou that I received as a souvenir.
This goes well with it!
The spiciness of the base is still there, even if it changes its expression as time goes by.
Delicious...
Good time...
I didn't know that!
Kaygetsu is a sake brewery in Tosa-cho Tai, isn't it?
My grandmother is an Ishihara, so I can only get attached to it!
Although it is a local sake from Kochi, it has a softly spreading flavor and is easy to drink, almost like a wine.
It is a local sake from Kochi, but it is also easy to drink with a soft and delicious flavor, almost like a wine.
The first sake of the new year.
The label is also Wakayama's typical orange,
It seems to brighten up the new year!
And, the sake is so good, it's hard to imagine anyone not liking it,
This is... who wouldn't like it...
Polishing ratio 35%.
Luxurious, clear, sweet, spicy, and crisp!
When the temperature rises a little, the aroma that spreads softly is also good!
I definitely want to drink it again! It makes me want to drink it again for sure!
Beautiful sake!
I wish you a happy and prosperous year 2025!
Fruity and dry.
Cold sake -> Mellower when cold.
I prefer this one!
It's hard to say how it moves from there to mellower and mellower...!
But it is always spicy!
I liked this sake more than I thought I would!
Unique to the Yamahai style of brewing
While still retaining the darker, muddy taste,
It is dry and easy to drink.
It is a memorable sake brewery that I have actually visited, but I had no idea that "Masumi" was named after the treasure of Suwa-taisha Shrine...
It made me want to visit Suwa again.
This is very spicy!
Sweet at first? but then it goes from there to a solid body with some bitterness!
As I continued to drink, the tingling aftertaste lingered on for a long time.
I can drink it in gulps.
Ahhh...I'm going to get drunk comfortably... 🍶.
Light, mellow with little clutter.
Slightly dry from the
A good sake that is gorgeous and pleasant to drink.
This is...
I can't help but drink too much of this...
This is delicious...
Fruity.
But it's dry and gradually heats up the body.
Ah, Tosatsuru, after all.
And, after all, it is sake from Kochi.
I'm not Shanks, but..,
I like sake from my hometown...
It has a sweet aroma, fruity and easy to drink, with a clean and pleasant aftertaste.
I could drink this before I knew it, and before I knew it, I was drunk. LOL!
Cold sake is good, but I prefer it cold.
Junmai Ginjo-Akagisan and compared.
Akagiyama - Rice Hibiki Banquet
→Slightly dry with a tangy taste
Akagisan
→Mild than Akagisan
However, as I drank more and more, I couldn't tell the difference. LOL!
However, I think Akagisan is easier to drink.
Tonight we will be serving a sake from the Ogino Sake Brewery in Miyagi, Tohoku.
If served cold, it has a crisp aftertaste, and if served chilled, it has a mild yet powerful flavor.
A pleasantly intoxicating sake with just the right amount of spiciness.
