Purchased at a liquor store in Saku. As you may have guessed, it was a case of buying a packet.
It has a refreshingly crisp and dry taste. I think it is best to drink it cold.
I bought it after watching a YouTuber's video of summer sake. I bought it at a liquor store in the prefecture, which is relatively far from my house.
It is an adult's Ramune. It's not like Gunma sake in a good way, but the aftertaste is dry. I didn't know there was such a good sake so close by.
This is Koryu's summer sake. This is my first summer sake.
It's dry and refreshing, very simple. I wonder if I can feel something beyond the simplicity of it. I felt the beauty of something that doesn't do anything unnecessary....
The final standing bar in Kiyomizu-ku was Zaku. I thought that the taste that never misses is "zaku".
This is the closest to the Seimizu station, so if you happen to visit, be sure to stop by.
The fourth S-MIZUNOKU is a local Shizuoka Ei-kun, aka Eikyun. It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness. I feel happy to have discovered a new sake.
The third water area is, oops, the birthplace.
This was really good. It is a slightly carbonated, umami-drenched San-Do, but when you add the freshness, it's the best, isn't it? I couldn't help but have another glass.
The first drink was served at a bar in Shizuoka Prefecture.
It was the first drink served at the bar, and it was delicious and refreshing. I didn't know about this brand, but it was great!
I usually buy Yokoyama at a liquor store in S. Prefecture, but this time, I encountered it at Karuizawa Inamaya. This time, however, I came across it at Karuizawa Imameya. I was surprised to see that they have a summer sake called Yokoyama, so I bought it.
It was just the kind of sake that I would want a summer version of Yokoyama to be like. If there is a summer sake version of Yokoyama, this is what I would like it to be like.
It's really delicious, isn't it, Shinshu Kamerei... I've been saying that it's really tasty, and I can go to the sake brewery in a little over an hour by car to buy some.
This is "Kuwagata," the non-"Kabutomushi" version of Senkou, the main summer sake.
The label says it is a honey lemon with sweetness and bitterness, but I personally felt it had a grapefruit flavor with some bitterness. It was like a "Kabutatushi" with an adult taste, so I thought I might have wanted to drink it in late summer, but (since I already opened it), would I buy it again? If I can buy it then, yes.
Wow, here it is, the number one (tentative) summer sake of the year.
The moment I took a sip, I knew it was a winner... but if I were to verbalize it a little more... I would say it has a superb balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity.
I'm not sure if there will be anything better than this, but I'm thankful for this encounter... Gubi
It is said to be "100% Omachi, a limited edition sake only available in good harvest years". I decided to buy it because it is from Saga and has a cute label. It is rich in umami, probably due to the fact that it is made from Omachi.
I drank Ocean99 so fast that I don't remember what it tasted like.
It was a limited edition, but I think it was a rush of fresh juice with apo.
I wonder if I will be able to survive the extremely hot summer at this pace...I have a feeling that I will be able to make it through.
This is also the first time for me to taste Eiko-Fuji summer sake (...... shootin-tsing-tsa-ah).
As I thought at the time of Nabeshima Summer Sake, even summer sake has its own individuality, and this time it's Eiko-Fuji's. It's sweet, yes. It's sweet, it's Eiko-Fuji, yes.
I bought this Ice Breaker for the first time at a liquor store in Saitama.
Before drinking it on the rocks...I tried it straight for now...it has a lot of punch, which is hard to believe for a summer sake. And on the rocks, it's a nice salty taste. This is a well-calculated drink. Follow the instructions on how to drink it.
The summer sake Koei Chrysanthemum is (also) delicious, like Sunburst... but this time it's a summer sake from Nabeshima, also from Saga, Japan. This is my first summer sake Nabeshima, although I have had many Nabeshima so far.
I've had a lot of Nabeshima, but this is the first summer sake Nabeshima I've had. I thought it was very nice.
This is Daimine's summer sake "Natsu no Otosore", which was my personal winner in the summer sake category last year (by a wide margin over second place). I'm glad I was able to buy it again this year.
In a word, it is "refreshing. It's refreshing, clean, and a little citrusy. I think there is nothing better than this for an adult summer drink. I think. I'm glad I got to try it again this year... but I'll definitely buy it a few more times.
