Jokigen神力純米吟醸生酒

yummy! When you put it in your mouth, it has a heavy sweetness (sweet, bitter, and salty) and a shwiffy mouthfeel. After that, it quickly cools down and leaves a sweet aftertaste in the mouth. The sake was not produced last year due to difficulties in growing the sake rice used. Sake from Yamagata is generally sweet and easy to drink, but this one has a roughness and receptiveness. It is as tasty as a strong-flavored snack such as chicken wings.

Sakaki-Masamune by Yokouchi Shuzo, brewed by Taikan Shuzo (This is a rare brewer with two breweries living together on the premises, but this is a rare sake that can only be purchased at a direct sales outlet). This is the second bottle I purchased in a three-bottle set at a direct sales outlet of a brewery in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi. I chilled it well and took a sip. It is mellow and full-bodied in the mouth. It is mellow in the mouth and quickly finishes. All Sakaki Masamune has a clean aftertaste and disappears like a vanish (I've only had two bottles). The spiciness and bitterness are moderate. A slight iodine-like aroma is noticeable in the nose. As it nears room temperature, the initial mellowness disappears and the sake becomes mild and light. It is a sake to be enjoyed as a marriage with snacks rather than as a sake by itself. I also bought a bottle of Taikan, which is brewed by the same brewery, so I would like to compare them later.

A spring sake available only in Akita Prefecture. The weather in May is no longer early summer but mid-summer, but according to the calendar it should be spring, so it's not too late. It has a heavy mouthfeel like a pure sake, a moderate acidity, and a mild sweetness. All I can say is, "It's good, it's good! The brewer claims that it is a sake for eating, and it goes well with cheese and iburigaki (roast pork). It is an all-rounder that goes well with sashimi, grilled miso, and simmered dishes. After being chilled to a very cold temperature, when it is brought back to room temperature, the corners are removed and it becomes a little light and refreshing. It is surprisingly easy to drink and could be called a lady-killer. This is a dangerous sake. All Mansaku no Hana sake is delicious, and this one is no exception.

This sake is from the Yokouchi Sake Brewery in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi. It is a minor brewery and was not sold at any local liquor stores. Although the sake is sold under the name of Yokouchi Sake Brewery, it is brewed by Taikan Brewery, which lives on the same premises and apparently outsources its production to the brewery. My impression is that it is a good old Showa-era sake. The first sip is fruity and gorgeous. Next, spiciness, bitterness, and complex flavors swell, and finally, the alcohol comes in with a thump, making it a very satisfying drink. It is a sake that would suit the great Showa-era star Ken Takakura, red lanterns, and rope curtains. When chilled, it has a refreshing taste, but at room temperature, the mildness and alcohol taste become stronger and it is like a different kind of sake. It goes well with fried food, sashimi, potato salad, and anything else. I would be very excited if this sake was served at an izakaya.

It is spicy! Although it is unfiltered, the mouthfeel is surprisingly clean, with a sweetness and a bold bitterness on the palate. However, it doesn't go well with Momokawa...

Purchased in Akita City, was it limited to the prefecture? I had it at room temperature. It has a complex flavor. Sweetness, umami, acidity, bitterness, and a refreshing taste all come together in a harmonious whole and disappear in the mouth leaving only the flavor. It is the ultimate plain sake that never gets boring, is easy to drink, and goes well with all kinds of snacks. It is delicious! Fukkomachi is delicious! I'll definitely buy it when I see it.

Shitaizumi sake I received as a gift. I hear it is a mild sake. Serve well chilled. Mellow and full-bodied, mild but with a strong bitterness. It is easy to drink and goes well with Japanese snacks such as yakitori and simmered dishes. Very tasty and easy to drink!

As soon as it gets a little warm, the bitterness disappears and the sweetness and mellowness come out in full force. I like it.

Purchased at the MaxValu in front of Yamagata Station. The MaxValu there has a good selection of regular local sake, and after purchase, it can be shipped from the service counter, so it was like a heavenly store. I enjoyed it at room temperature. The taste is a bit bland, but the gentle taste of rice spreads in the mouth at first, then quickly disappears in the mouth, leaving no aftertaste. The brewer recommends light snacks such as yudofu (boiled tofu) and squid somen noodles, but it also goes well with tempura, ahi tuna, and other strong-flavored snacks. However, this sake seems to go better with sashimi of sea bream than grilled fish. The sake is served in a Wajima-nuri Bajo cup. We wish Noto a speedy recovery.

It has a strong effervescence and is refreshing to drink. It does not have a strong sake-like taste, but it is not overly sour or sweet, but has a refreshing acidity like a dry cider (less) and an aftertaste that disappears quickly. It is very tasty. It tastes like a cider when it's cold, but when it's closer to room temperature, it tastes like sake. Interesting.

Purchased at MaxValu in front of Yamagata Station. I believe it was around 1000 yen, not expensive. The first taste in the mouth is lightly sweet, followed immediately by bitterness, and the last note has a slight iodine smell. It is hard to describe the taste, but if you drink it as a food sake, it tastes light and somewhat characterless, so you should drink it only with sake or savor it slowly with salt. Interesting!

Cup of sake purchased at a supermarket in front of Akita Station Akita has good pickles. Sake is also delicious. I feel that Akita sake goes well with pickles (before that, is there any sake that does not go well with pickles?) Immediately after opening the bottle, I thought it would be dry, but after five minutes, the flavor changed a little. The aroma is subdued, and the taste is light and refreshing with a slight bitterness. It may be suitable as a side dish with seaweed and other tasty but unassertive foods.

Akita Meikozo Bishu Hanariman New Sake Shiboritate When you hear "limited edition", you are tempted to buy it! When drunk at room temperature, it has a bold, dry taste. When it is cooled down, it becomes a little lighter than room temperature and has a soft taste that loosens up softly. Dry taste
