At the Cherry Blossom Festa in Ueno Park
Comparison of 3 kinds of sake from Fukushima.
Dry but not classic and easy to drink.
It was a taste I would like to drink with food.
Delicious!
Kawagoe, Kagamiyama unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
It has a strong flavor and is very drinkable, but the sweetness is elegant and refreshing.
It had a delicious umami flavor.
Tasake's zodiac sign bottle!
The dragon for the year of the dragon is cool.
I didn't have a chance to drink it just right for the New Year, and it's March...
Fresh and fruity like green apple.
There is a slight fizzy chili feeling.
It tasted sweet and sour and modern.
Delicious!
Wind Forest
Sake brewed with Yamanokami yeast.
It had a strong flavor and, as described on the package, a woody aroma.
I thought it was less fruity than the usual Kaze no Mori.
Delicious!
Mutsu Hachisen, which I fell in love with when I first started drinking sake.
It is still as fruity and juicy as an apple.
Although it is fire-aged, it has the freshness of a fresh sake.
Delicious!
I bought this Junmai Ginjo from Raifuku when I visited Tsukuba.
In Ibaraki, I could buy Raifuku at a convenience store.
It has a slightly yellowish color.
It has a strong rice flavor, but is crisp and clean. There is a hint of sweetness.
Delicious!
I went to Tsukuba for the first time in a long time and bought Fog Tsukuba.
It was refreshing and not too sweet, but it had a slight banana-like sweetness peculiar to Ogawa yeast.
Delicious!
Junmai Ginjo of NIIDASENSHU.
The usual taste is stable.
It has a full-bodied sweetness and acidity unique to the sake. It is delicious cold, but also delicious hot.
I will repeat this recipe again.
Fukui's Kuroryu
A new light nigori (nigori is a kind of "fresh" sake).
It has a mild lactic acidity and a strong flavor.
I thought it would go well with sweet and spicy Japanese food.
Delicious!
I like Kido, but this is my first time to taste purple labeled Omachi.
Mild ginjo aroma. The fruity flavor of Kido is subdued, but it was there.
The richness of the flavor and the smoothness and juiciness of the rice made it feel like an omachi.
Delicious!
Denshikiku by Kangiku Meikozo.
I bought it at a liquor store in my neighborhood but it was the first time I went there.
I thought there was no place near me that sold Kangiku, so I discovered it.
When the bottle was opened, it was like a "pop"! When the bottle was opened, it was like a "pop!
It has a shwashy feeling.
It tastes good the moment you drink it! The sweetness and bitterness that you can feel at the moment you drink it.
It is strong at the beginning, but there is no lingering aftertaste and it has a nice sharpness.
I think this is my favorite sake that I have had recently.
Delicious!
Solstice.
My favorite drink.
The mouthfeel is fruity, juicy, and sweet.
From the middle, it has a nice sharpness from the smoothness of the rice.
Delicious!
Mutsumi by Kaganoi Shuzo.
This sake is part of a series of junmai daiginjos that Aeon Liquor is developing in collaboration with breweries across Japan.
When I went to Aeon Liquor on New Year's Day, they had an in-store tasting and told me that they had pressed it directly into bottles that morning and brought it on the bullet train.
When I tasted it, I found it to be fruity and full-bodied, a taste I liked, so I bought it.
I could really taste the fresh, unpasteurized sake, and it had a thick, tangy, sweet taste.
Delicious!
Urasato of Urasato Shuzo Brewery, famous for Kiri-Tsukuba.
I took it with me when I went back to my parents' house and drank it.
It was fruity and sweet, soft and beautiful.
Delicious!
2024The first sake is a zodiac bottle with two hares.
The design shows a rabbit fighting a dragon.
Freshness, acidity, and smoothness of the rice.
There was an impression of softness and a lingering aftertaste that lingers in the middle of the bottle.
Delicious!
First time drinking Ona's nigori sake.
It was sweet, sour, and juicy on the palate, but it was refreshing with a bitter and sharp taste in the middle.
Delicious!
At Saito Bar in Jujo.
It was an easy-drinking type of sake, with a slight sourness on the palate and the smoothness of the rice.
All the food was delicious, but the sake went very well with stewed dishes such as meat tofu.
Delicious!
Laughing Four Seasons White.
It is a raw sake made from the oldest sake yeast.
It has a soft and calm mouthfeel with a lactic acid taste. A long lingering bitterness came later.
Delicious!
Senkou x UNITED ARROWS snowman
Shuwashu and refreshing sourness.
Of course there is the sweetness of nigori sake, but I had the impression that it was not so sweet because of the bitterness.
Looks good with a meal.
Delicious!
Natural sarcasm.
The color is quite dark.
The beginning of the drink is sweet and sour of Shazenshu. The aroma and the long lingering oak aroma are pleasant.
I thought it was a bit strong sake.
Delicious!
