The other day, I went to Utsunomiya on a small expedition to visit liquor stores (although I visited only two) and bought this one (I bought it because it seemed to be the brand recommended by the liquor store). The umami or mellow taste (the sense of rice flavor) comes first. The aftertaste disappears quickly, but it remains slowly. There is no bitterness. It's not bad, of course, but it lacks punch. I honestly feel that it is not bad, but it lacks punch. Of course it is above average, but....

The other day, I received a phone call from Inamaya and was wondering what it was about, when I heard, "We have a reserved item on hold..." I totally forgot about it, so I rushed over to collect it. First of all, I apologize for forgetting such an important matter. The moment I put it in my mouth, my first impression was, "It's so classy! It is unconditionally delicious. Thank you, Inamaya-san, for putting it on hold for me. Thank you.

The seventh sake of the Olas Sake-no-jin is Echi-no-Homare's "90 Pink". I tasted this brand last year, but it was not sold locally, so I went to a liquor store in Kamo City to buy it. I thought it was good last year, too, but it is not as refined and complex as Niimasa or Kamonishiki, and I love its wild taste but full freshness and rich aroma. I could clearly feel the maker's intention of not cutting down the rice polishing ratio to 90% (probably). By the way, the local price was 1,400 yen. I guess it is because of the 90% rice polishing ratio, but still, it is too cheap.

Hi madamarr 😃 I'm so glad you went out of your way to buy a bottle of this memorable sake 🤗I'd really appreciate a good sake for 1400 yen 😊I'll keep that in mind if I ever go to Niigata!

It's probably not for everyone, and it may not be to everyone's liking...but I like it. ❤️

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?

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.

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.

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 🤗.

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....
