According to my faint memory, I think I bought this sake from this brewery last year, but it is TAiiiiiCHi by Yukitsubaki Shuzo. This is the 6th by Sake no Jin. I decided to buy this one after tasting it on site. (According to the label on the back of the bottle, they use a yeast called Yukitsubaki yeast. I don't know if this is the reason or not, but the aroma on the nose when you take a sip is superb. The ginjo aroma, in other words, is just like this. The clean taste is something common to sake breweries in Kamo City (such as Muskagami). I recommend it.

I bought 7 bottles at the sake festival... Can't you even count them? I decided to buy it immediately after tasting it at the brewery. For a sake with 90% polished rice, it has a crisp, refreshing aroma with a rich flavor that comes afterwards. It seems that this sake brewery is not so well known in Japan, so I recommend you to buy it!

The fourth sake bottle in the sake camp is Garakudai by Tenryohai Sake Brewery, the ace behind Niigata sake brands. This time, I bought not Gekka, Zuika, Rokka, or Ouroboros, but Sashu, a limited edition of Sake-no-jin. This time, I bought not Gekka, Zuika, Rokka, or Ouroboros, but Sasu, a limited edition of Sake-no-jin. I guess you have to buy it when you are told it is a limited edition, right? My impression of Garakudai is that it is clear and transparent, but this one has not only that, but it also has the feeling of a Niigata sake. It's nice, and I felt a kind of local love for it.

Hi madamarr 😃 Masayo you have an ace rating! I'd love to have a limited edition with a cool label: ‼️

Hello, everyone. So, this Sasu Gagakuyo may actually be something based on Tenryo-bai (the original brand name) with a sheepskin (a white label)? This is my current hypothesis. In order to confirm this hypothesis, I have to go there to buy "Tenryo Sake Cup"...but I still have homework to do this year... (smiles)

The third sake of the sake camp is Koshiji no Koubai. In fact, this is a brand that I have been wondering whether to buy or not every year after tasting it. This time, I did buy it (teehee). The mouthfeel is refreshing. The lingering aftertaste after the umami is pleasant. I really think it is a good sake.

Kamonishiki is the second and final sake brewery in the Sake-no-jin series. I first joined the Sake-no-jin in 2015 and first encountered Kamonishiki Marubin in 2016 (photo attached). I still remember the shock I felt when I first sipped it. I still remember the shock when I first sipped it......such a good sake or drink? I thought. Then came the Corona disaster...and as you can see in the attached photo, Marubin has been replaced this year. I feel a little sad that Malbin is gone, but I will accept it as a developmental thing. By the way, what kind of alcohol was Malbin? If I were to ask you what kind of alcohol Marubin was, you might be able to imagine that it was like a fresh version of the traditional sake. I'm sorry to make a long preamble, but this sake... was priced at 2,500 yen at the local market... but it's not something you can buy for that kind of price, seriously. It was a sake with the same flavor, complexity, depth, and profundity as the top Shinsei level. I should have bought two bottles...I regret it so much now. But anyway, thanks to the brewery and the young master brewer. I am looking forward to next year.

Here we go again this year, the first in a series of trophies from the Niigata Sake Festival. It's...Kikusui! Just like last year, Kikusui's booth was crowded this year. Funaguchi seemed to be the most popular, but I decided to buy this one immediately after tasting it, as I thought it was as good as the others. It is sharp and edgy rather than fresh at the entrance, followed by umami and then dryness. I remember the lady at the booth told me to be careful because of its high alcohol content (19%) (I was already drunk at that time). It is a dangerous drink because it is easy to drink. I bought 6 bottles this time. I will update this page as needed.

Like the Shichibon-yari I uploaded the other day, I got this Kamo Kanehide at a certain store in Utsunomiya, and this is the first time I have seen it. It has a freshness that you can feel even though it is fire-aged, and on the other hand, it has a full flavor that is typical of Hiroshima brands, which is really wonderful. I thought I should be aware that it is a little different from the image of traditional Hiroshima brands such as Houken, Kamo Kanehide, and Amego no Tsuki (which I have never had). Highly recommended, give it a try.

Good morning, Madamah 😃. Kamokin is where we buy ours too 🤗 delicious! The moon after the rain 🌕 is also delicious 😋. Oh! We got our shichibonjari at Yodogawa, not Yamahito 🤗The liquor store in Utsunomiya is good, isn't it?

Thank you very much for the information about the liquor store. I would like to visit there next time.

Today, I participated in the Niigata Sake-no-Ten and just returned home... It was great again, but I'll talk about that later... This is my first time drinking Shichibon-Yari. It has a rich aroma and a flavor that lingers in the back of the throat. I have the impression that it is not sold very often in the Kanto area, but I wonder how it is. I would like to continue drinking this brand.

Thank you very much for your comments. Actually, I bought it at Yamahito in Utsunomiya. I visited there for the first time, and it was a nice store.

The moment I thought, "Oh, it's Sogape," I found it in my shopping bag at the checkout line (I have no recollection of the moment I got to this point). As the name suggests, it's erotic... I can't help it, it's a sogapé, but I imagined it would be like a plump, full-bodied white wine, but it's not, it's more like a seductive lady (subjective). By the way, I actually look forward to the comment on the back label every time I buy Sogape. No need to explain anything, just read it and you'll see what the maker has to say about the wine.

Good morning madamarr😃. So you responded to Sogape so fast that you don't even remember 🤗 great👍. It's great to read and drink a batch of goodies 😋!

Thank you for your comment. I am already thinking before my brain can think, i.e., it is a conditioned reflex.

In fact, the most popular brand recently is Glorious Regent's. I heard that they use local rice, but I wonder if it's the water that makes it so special. I feel a sense of depth and sophistication in this beer. It's so good!

Recently, I was thinking that dry sake is good, and this one caught my eye. I actually tried it and found it to be... a crisp, umakuchi (flavorful) sake, with a Hokuriku flavor. Yes, I remember that Kuroryu is like this. It's so good!

I entered a liquor store, and as I walked forward, there they were. In front of me was Mr. Yamamoto's selection of No. 6 yeast and No. 7 yeast. I was thinking to myself, there is no way I can choose between the two, is there? I thought, "Why don't I just buy both? As it turns out, buying both at the same time was a great decision. In terms of sake quality, they are just like Yamamoto's, but they are both good, and the difference in yeast gives them completely different tastes. I would like you to compare them. I hope you will try them both.

I'm sorry to say that this is a personal matter, but I had a nose operation this week, and my nose is not working at all now, partly because of the surgery. And I'm drinking Shinsei-sama in such a situation... Well, I assure you, even if my nose doesn't work, Shinsei-sama is good. I am a little impressed. Thank you for making it taste so good anytime, anyhow.

Good morning, madamarr 😃. Nose surgery! That sounds painful 🥲That was tough. I wish you a speedy recovery 😌. Even if your nose doesn't work, Shinsei is still delicious 😋It's a wonder you can make it taste good in any situation 🤗.

madamarr(まだまー
Thank you for your concern. I am very glad. I think it is a basic practice of Shinsei to taste it with all five senses. I would like to have it in perfect condition next time.

It's been a while since the new year began, but this is tentatively ranked first in the list of the best wines I've had until today. The spiciness, umami, fullness, freshness, a little bit of a tangy taste felt in the upper jaw, and a sense of icy warm maturity... I felt the ultimate in balance. I felt the ultimate in balance. It does not seem to be widely distributed, but if you see it, I strongly recommend you to drink it or buy it....

It's a top choice among Niigata sake breweries in my opinion, and it's called "Qn", which is written "kyun". The back of the label says it is a sweet, sour and fruity light type of sake... it is indeed sweet, sour and fruity... but... in a word, it is very thick. It's Furuboriyumu. It's delicious. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will serve at the sake festival!
