Souvenirs from Kagawa
100% Sanuki Yomai
Although it is a mellow type, the acidity after the umami and richness is pleasant.
It is delicious both at room temperature and cold.
It says the umami is even more pronounced when heated.
I finished it before trying it!
Sake brewery in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture
Closed down last year due to lack of successors
Even though it is a local brewery in Aichi, I have never had a bottle of this sake before.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, the first and last bottle!
We will taste it thoroughly!
At first, it has a twisted aroma like pickled radish.
It doesn't taste sweet and it's surprisingly refreshing.
Will it taste better warmed up?
The twisted aroma subsides as it warms up, but the refreshing taste remains the same.
A few days later, we served it cold.
It has a thick texture on the tongue that I didn't notice at first.
Mellow aroma like brandy plum wine.
Enjoy it with ice on top!
It says it was made in 2021, so it must have been aged for three years.
I guess it must have been matured.
I enjoyed it very much.
Nice to meet you. Please excuse my sudden comment.
I have been looking for a bottle of Furomon to drink again, but I could not find it and have given up.
I am wondering if you have opened the bottle you purchased before?
Gyoza-san, nice to meet you.
I see you have been looking for Furomon.
I think I bought it about 2 months ago.
The owner of the store told me that the brewery no longer had it in stock and that it was finished because it was on the market, so I bought it.
Thank you very much for your kind attention, Sequoia.
Does this mean that it is still in stock in stores?
I will have to go to our area once this is done.
Thank you for the information. p
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture
This time, we chose a fast brewer.
I like the robustness of Yamahai, but this is also very easy to drink.
but this one is also easy to drink.
I still like Furoisen.
Mizutani Brewery in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which suffered a fire in May 2024.
I read an article about it on SAKESTO and wished them good luck!
I came across Senbyo, which was jointly brewed at Yamazaki Goshi's brewery in the same Aichi Prefecture.
The reaction on the palate was tingling and lively!
It is spicy and sweet, with lingering acidity and astringency.
You can feel its strength!
As soon as you put it in your mouth, wow, it's spicy!
After a few days, you can taste the spiciness, umami, bitterness and astringency!
With horse mackerel sashimi
Accompanying my family to Echizen-Ono City
There are oshozu (spring water) everywhere in the city. There was also oshozu next to the brewery's store!
We bought a bottle of sake, a limited edition of 100 bottles.
The aroma is gentle, and when you take a sip, the rice flavor and tanginess are amazing! It is just as it was squeezed and has great liveliness!
Aroma like sweet melon
It is delicious, but be careful not to drink too much!
I saw a stork for the first time.
They must be cherished by the local people.
I can't help but reach for the stork label.
Gentle sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a nice sharpness!
I enjoyed it with yellowtail!
Murmur of the Master Brewer
Murmur on the label and on the box
Is it the dialect of the toji's home country?
I can imagine him talking to himself as if he was checking his work.
Is it because the rice is 100% Koshihikari?
It makes you want a side dish.
I never get tired of drinking it.
Tart, peachy, fruity mouthfeel!
Fresh astringency like white grape skins.
Tangy and tangy on the tongue, it flows down the throat.
It is so delicious that it is dangerous to drink it at 19 degrees Celsius!
The rice used is 100% Kitanishiki, which is new to us.
Sake from a Sake Brewery in the Castle Town of Izushi
With Izushi's Sara Soba
Does not disturb the aroma of soba
Gentle sweetness and a sense of refreshment
At Kinosaki
Smoky, then refreshing with acidity afterwards
How is it with sashimi? I thought it would be good with sashimi, but it turns out to be surprisingly good.
Can be served with dashimaki and oden.
Since I was in Shizuoka
I chose a sake from Shizuoka that I can't usually buy!
It's fire-aged, so it solves the problem of not being able to put it in the fridge!
It tastes great at room temperature!
Mullet sashimi and
Dark golden yellow, warmed up.
In the mouth, it has a mellow, mellow aroma like Western-style sake.
The acidity is pronounced and the spiciness tightens it up.
Purchased in Omihachiman, Shiga
Ojiro is my favorite sake, so I was greedy and bought a bottle.
We enjoy it heated on a chilly spring day.
I'm almost done with heating it up... I'm sad to see it go.
The sweet and sour flavor opens up when heated!
