Three bottles of Yamagata sake in a row.
Seasonal Nama Sake.
Nama-shu" = "freshly pressed" without being heated, and as the name implies, it has a fresh aroma.
The mild flavor slowly spreads on the palate and finishes dry.
The more you drink, the more spiciness accumulates in your mouth.
It was a good sake that will make you feel comfortable and intoxicated!
When you put it in your mouth, it first tingles on the tip of your tongue.
After that, it has a slightly lumpy texture peculiar to unfiltered sake.
However, in general, it is light, fruity, and easy to drink.
However, it seems a little more alcoholic than the Japanese food we usually drink...
Please be a little careful not to get drunk.
The label is gold and cool.
It took about 5 years, finally.
The last one is a sake brewery in the capital - Tokyo.
It is a smooth, unctuous sake that goes in easily.
Now I've conquered all the sake breweries in the 47 prefectures of Japan!
Yay!
On the other hand, I feel a little sad...
What should I aim for next...
Once you have conquered all 47 prefectures, I would love to know what you are aiming for next.
But having said that, I'm still happy!
We did it!
Happy New Year!
2023, the first of the New Year, Kiido!
I see that this is read as "Ki-Do".
I had thought it was "Ki-Do" due to my lack of study.
It is very clear, no resistance at all, no cloying taste, and really goes in with a swoosh.
After that, peach? Melon? The fresh fruitiness like peach or melon is fully felt.
This is delicious!
Very elegant and a delicious sake that I would recommend to anyone.
I wish you a good year.
It is the only sake brewery in Okinawa, the southernmost tip of Japan.
I have longed for a sake from Okinawa.
Miyako Blue Nuts, a souvenir from Okinawa, as a side dish.
Awamori, please.
This is quite...alcoholic.
The alcohol lingers in your mouth for a while after you finish it.
Now, two more prefectures to go!
This is my first time drinking the bearded version.
At first, I drank it cold, but it tasted more bitter than I expected compared to the red version.
However, when it is served a bit lukewarm afterwards, it is... delicious.
It has an elegant sweetness, a moderate bitterness, and a lingering umami flavor.
Delicious.
Cold.
Yes, easy to drink.
It was not for a special occasion, but a delicious sake to be enjoyed on a daily basis.
Oda?" I thought, "Oda?" for a Gunma sake, but I see that it has such a history. I thought, "Oda?" but I see that it has such a history.
I learned a lot. LOL!
Nevertheless, it was a fun way to cap off a good day, my sister-in-law's wedding today!
The second time, Yokoyama Goju.
This elegant sake has a fruity sweetness and aroma that is more like wine.
It is still delicious...
Thank you very much!
A food wine that you'll want to drink with spicy, dark food!
It goes down your throat with a caw and spreads softly without being unpleasant after it goes down your throat.
Unlike modern sake like Otters? Unlike modern sake like Otters, this is a traditional sake made by a toji (master brewer).
The website is very informative, with information on the sake making process and recommended snacks.
This is my kind of sake!
Traditional? Dry sake.
Not the kind of sake you drink with a glass of wine, but the kind of sake you drink with a cup of sake, and the image of elegance among them?
The pleasantly spicy taste and lingering aftertaste will have you talking and drinking more sake before you know it.
We had so much fun that we ended up drinking too much....
Cold sake.
It is crisp and spicy.
You can enjoy the conversation and drink it without thinking.
When served cold, it is spicy but mellow.
It was my first time drinking Shimane sake, and I enjoyed it.
First! Sake from Hokkaido!
The mouthfeel is mellow. It is just like water.
It goes in smoothly and is mellow and dry from the mid-palate onward. The lingering aftertaste is long and lingers with a slight bitterness.
Hokkaido limited edition.
This is the first time I have heard of sake rice called "Comet.
The world of sake is still very deep and full of things I don't know.
Personally, I prefer it cold rather than cold sake because it is spicier.
As the name suggests, it rocks.
The aroma is alcoholic and dry.
As the ice melts, it mellows out a bit.
However, it is surprisingly drinkable.
The image was that of a sake to be drunk while enjoying with others in a leisurely and lively manner.
It is different from the fierce image of Kagoshima.
It is sweet, mellow, and fruity without being unpleasant.
The lingering taste is of rice? and slight bitterness and spiciness.
When you drink it slowly...it is spicy.
No, but sweet. LOL!
It may be an exaggeration to say that it was like water, but it was an elegant sake that was easy to drink.
My first Miyazaki sake!
So glad I don't get a chance to drink it often!
Thank you so much for everything.
Well, tonight, I'll have it cold.
The aroma is...sweet.
I guess it's sweet even if you drink it. I thought it would be...
It's spicy.
No! But it is sweet.
You can enjoy the soft and fruity aftertaste.
However, after it dries up, your throat gets hot.
When people think of Kyushu, they think of "shochu", but sake is also quite good.
This sake tasted better than I expected!
I had wanted to drink it for several years, but never had the chance. I called the distributor this time to check their stock and was even allowed to try it.
The aroma that I smelled before drinking it spread well after putting it in my mouth.
The mouthfeel is elegant, sweet, mellow, and fruity.
After a slight weight in the middle part of the bottle, the finish is clean.
I was really looking forward to having this when I came to Aichi, and I'm so glad I did!
Today is dry, a change from yesterday.
Less cloying and fruity on top.
It is softly spread with a slight bitterness. The aftertaste is short, crisp, and delicious.
I personally like Miyasaka Brewery's sake.
Ahhh... I feel good!
At the beginning of drinking, it is sweet.
However, it is not harsh, but rather elegant sweetness with a refreshing fruity taste.
The crispness is pleasant, and the drink goes down smoothly.
This is a strain that I would enjoy again with a glass of wine.
I guess it would be good as a sake for a Japanese or Western course...
Delicious!
I'll remember it and drink it again!
