At a standing bar at T station. Oh, this is delicious.
This is my first Tsuchida's summer sake. As the catchphrase says, it is gorgeous and juicy. I think I'll go buy a four-pack.
I thought it was an imaginary sake that no longer existed... I thought I had no choice but to go to Toyama.... However, I happened to run into it at a certain liquor store in Nagano. The moment I saw it, I covered my face, I was so happy.
First of all, the text on the label is wonderful. It is made by only five people. It is exactly what it says: "Sake that knows true luxury. All kinds of tastes hit you the moment you put it in your mouth. In a word, it is "rich". Thank you very much.
Good morning, madamarr 😃.
We too had a chance encounter at a sake shop in Shinonoi on a previous Nagano sake trip ‼️ same place? It's really nice when you meet someone you didn't know 🤗.
This is my second lot of Semishigure.
The second lot is better than the first, this is the same one from last year.
When you put it close to your mouth, it has a nice ginjo aroma. It's so good on the palate. After that, the acidity comes and goes. This lingering aftertaste is what summer sake is all about, isn't it?
This year, too, it ranks high in my summer sake ranking. No doubt about it.
I am receiving it while staring at the label, thinking, "I see, Takachiyo is in Minami-uonuma, which is close by from Gunma," and I am the non-Takachiyo of Takachiyo, Makiki-san.
There is no description of the milling ratio, and the rice is washed with microbubbles, which means that the rice is not milled as much as possible? It tastes like 90 Pink of Koshinohomare. Niigata is also releasing summer sake, and I think it is good, good, good.
First of all, the name is good, isn't it? It's a gale, a fresh and invigorating feeling, isn't it?
Actually, the more I drank, the more I wondered how to describe it. I was wondering how to describe it as I drank more and more, and then I ran out. It's not the image of a winter sake kid, it's not fresh all the way through, but I felt the freshness including the sourness and bitterness.
I can't find a good way to describe it, so please, someone give me another way to describe it.
When I took a sip, my first impression was... "Isn't this (last year's) Semishigure? I thought for a moment, "Is this the same as last year's Semishigure? As the label on the back says? It is full of acidity.
I tasted it in comparison with Semi Shigure (my second batch), which I will introduce later, and it is different. It has both sourness and bitterness. I thought so.
The next strong one, is Doburokku, was immediately uploaded. It's from the same brewery, so it's no surprise, but the taste is almost the same as Mutsu Hachisen's, but this one is an intense shu-shuwa festival.
It was my first time to drink Doburokku, and I thought, "Don't talk about summer sake without knowing about this one. It was delicious.
Oh, it's so good, perfect for a hot day like today. This is my top summer sake at the moment.
Actually, the next one I'm going to introduce next is very strong...
I bought it at a special distributor in Utsunomiya. I was wondering if they would have it or not, but they did, and I was lucky.
It's a stable "Shuwauma".
Incidentally, when I was in Yamagata the other day, I found it at a certain store (the same store where I received Jyushiyo). It seems to be popular even in the Tohoku region, which is famous for its sake.
The summer sake league is in full swing these days, and this time we will be drinking Raifuku for the first time.
It is light in a good sense, or rather, it has a light and refreshing feeling, followed by a crisp and sharp taste. Refreshing!
My personal ranking of this year's summer drinks is a mixed bag.
There is no reason for the feeling that it is so delicious.
According to the label on the back, the water comes from the Nikko temple area. Speaking of Nikko, the water from Futaarasan Shrine is really delicious (I also enjoy fetching water), and I wonder if they use water from that area. Anyway, my ranking of this year's summer sake is really difficult. I will continue to enjoy it, as I am happy to be bothered by it.
Hi madamarr 😃
Mikumari-chan is also delicious and seems to be on the top of the list 🤗It's great that you even know the taste of the water at Nikko Futaarasan Shrine👍.
Is it a difficult-to-obtain type? I am aware of Ina and Agave. This is my first drink. I got it at a certain sake store in Saitama. It seems to be one of the United Arrows collaborations that have appeared in the sake world over the past few years.
It has a bitter hop taste like craft saké, with a sourness in the front and a little lingering ginjo aroma. It seems to go well with all kinds of food.
This is my first Kagoshima sake. Well, what do you think? It has a good balance.
Now I have only Miyazaki sake left in Kyushu. If you have any recommendations for sake from Miyazaki, please let me know.
Good morning madamarr😃!
Congratulations on your first Kagoshima sake ㊗️ 🎉Our first was also a tempest 🤗.
Miyazaki, you all have a lot of Sentoku!
Miyazaki and Okinawa are a challenge 😅.
The party is over and I'm on the bullet train. It rained all the time this year, but it was a great event again this year. Thanks to all the organizers.
We had a lot of drinks, so I won't upload all of them. I'm not going to upload all of them, but here is this one. By the way, last year's was the best.
In a word, it has an excellent balance of spiciness and umami. At sake events, I always tell the sake brewer of my best sake that it was the best of the day. I did it again today. Did they get the message?
By the way, the taro stew was delicious. Thank you Yamagata, I will come again.
I have participated in this event since last year, and it is a great event. There are many izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) around Yamagata Station where you can drink local sake, including Jyushiyo.
It seems that "It's the first one today" is quite a power word, and sake breweries are always happy to hear it. At first, I started this as a way of just saying thank you, but it makes me feel good to see them happy, so I've made it a habit.
This year, too, we are participating in the Yamagata Sake Fair, the most beautiful sake prefecture in Japan. Here is what was waiting for me at the end of the long queue. I had a hard time deciding, but I chose EXTRA. In a word, this one is exceptional.
