It's a sake from Osaka, which is hard to find in my living area. Akishika.
I had it at "Atenyor Clock Tower" in Sapporo.
I was drunk, so I don't remember clearly, but I had a good impression.

I had never drunk sake from Nagasaki prefecture, so I got this Yokoyama Goju by paying tax in hometown.
Yokoyama is very famous, but it is hard to find in Hokkaido.
It has a sweet aroma.
The sweetness is not too strong, followed by a light sourness, almost no alcohol, and a clean aftertaste.
As you move it around in your mouth, the flavor of the rice expands.
The taste is clear and free of miscellaneous flavors.
★★★★☆
Aburanaga Shuzo Co.

The aroma and taste are just like apples.
The balance of sourness and sweetness is perfect, making it a sake for women.
Naeba Shuzo Co.

Fresh sake, refrigerated
14% alcohol

Rice, Rice Koji from Niigata Prefecture
Stylish wine-like bottle.
I almost bought it on the spot.
There is so much dori that you would think it was nigori.
The aroma is clean and sweet.
It is very easy to drink because of its sourness.
It's like Calpis soda, and you can drink as much as you want.
Ikegame Shuzo Co.
Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture

A rare junmai ginjo brewed with the black koji bacterium of shochu.
It has a sweet aroma and a strong taste, but it is clear and sharp.
The sourness and the slight bitterness which remain afterwards are good.
If you drink it a day later, the taste becomes even more intense. This is an easy drinking sake.

Alcohol 15 degrees
Rice polishing ratio 60%.
Rice produced in Miyazaki Prefecture is used.
This is a product that I got from a tax payment from Nobeoka city in Miyazaki prefecture.
This is the first sake from Miyazaki Prefecture that you won't find in a liquor store.
It's a very unique sake.
It's a summer drink, but I can't remember when I had it.
I think it was in August. I drank it.
I'm sure Saga has had other drinks, but surprisingly I haven't kept track of them.
But...
I think Saga's sake is more of a law of preference.

Junmai Nama Genshu
Imanishi Seibei Shoten
Nara City, Nara Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
18% alcohol by volume
Sake degree -9
The alcohol content is high, but the taste is sweet and mellow.
It is a very high standard sake.
Maybe it is an extra product because it was lost in the influence of Corona?
Bought this instead of champagne for Christmas.
I didn't think I'd need a bottle opener to open sake.
The alcohol content is high at 15 degrees, so it has a certain sake feel to it.
But it is also very fizzy and sweet.
Niseiko Brewery Co.
Kutchan-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido
15-16% alcohol
Alcohol added
Winter Only Activated Sake
I usually get Junsei from my local Fukushi, but this year I bought Niseiko's Activated Sake.
Contrary to its foamy and sludgy appearance, it is not too sweet and not too alcoholic, with a smooth aftertaste.
At 1,040 yen for a 900 milliliter bottle, it's a bit of a bargain.
Bottled and stored

Sake degree +6.0
Acidity 2.1
Amino acidity 1.0
Rice polishing ratio 60%.
Yeast: Association No.9
100% Miyamanishiki
It seems to be a limited edition.
I had heard that it came in, so I thought I would buy it sometime.
When I went there the other day, there was not much left, so I decided this was the time to buy it.
The aroma is sweet, and the mouthfeel is also slightly sweet, but soon the alcohol feeling spreads and the sourness comes to attack. However, the aftertaste recedes with a clean finish.
It is a type that will not interfere with any meal.

The season of Machida has come again this year.
For the next 4 months, Machida will be open to the public.
The first one is "Five Million Goku"!
This year, it's all cloudy!
And a square!
Nigori is so popular that it sells out quickly.
The cork is not dignified and the cork pops with a nice champagne-like sound.
It's fragrant and has a great fizzy texture.
It's a cider for adults.
You can't help but gulp it down.
I bought it for New Year's Day, but I don't know if I'll have any left until New Year's.

Higashimurayama City, Tokyo
Teshimaya Brewing Company
Hidan Nishiki 100% from Hiroshima Prefecture
16% alcohol.
Rice polishing rate 55%.
This is the season that has arrived.
This is the season when you can leave your "refrigerated" sake at the entrance, which is more powerful than the refrigerator.
This is the season when you can buy too much sake in the north.
The first one is a yarmulke cage!
It's fruity but not too sweet, and the aftertaste smells like it might be alcoholic, but it also has a bitterness to it that fades away nicely.
Be careful not to drink too much.
It's only a quarter of a bottle left.
