I went to Uozu the other day 🐟. I bought a bottle of Tateyama there to drink at the hotel, but I drank too much Tateyama at the restaurant and had to take it home 🚙. This pattern has been happening a lot lately😅. It's fresh but in a good way, it doesn't have the punch or roughness of unfiltered raw, smooth and gentle on the palate, very natural and easy to drink ☺️ It has a melon-like fruitiness and finishes with a melon-like flavor 🍈. And the pure and clean finish is typical of Toyama sake 🤔. It doesn't have a big impact, but such a gentle unfiltered pure sake is precious, I can drink it all the time 😋. I wish you all a very Happy New Year 🎍.

100% Omachi aka White Label I was looking forward to it 😆. Chilli, slightly effervescent, smooth, fruity 🫧. But after the umami, the bitterness slowly becomes stronger and you can feel the weight 🪨. Super heavyweight❕. This has a punch🥊🥊🥊🥊. A solid, straight brew with a thick core. No twists and turns, honest 😌. After a month of sitting for a while, it tastes incredible... like it's been perfected ✨. Nutty, savory toast 🍞. Honeyed but crisp sweetness, apple ❔. Better balance, a variety of flavors blossoming and in full bloom🌸 I was going to try heating it up, but I'll leave it like this for a while longer... then the same flavors went even smoother: 〰︎〰︎ I'm going to try heating it up 🤤. Lukewarm 🍶. The round sweetness is assertive and crisp, and the spiciness of the finish is up 🥇. Hot 🍶 warmed More integrated But the complex character seems to have receded 🤔🥈.

I've actually been a fan since the indie days: ⚡️ The first collaboration with the Iwanoi Sake Brewery (with a second one on standby♪) It's called "Denzake" ❕ or maybe... 🤭. It has a standing aroma of sweet malted rice, Japanese pear, and grapes 🍐. Juicy sweetness, acidity, It is sharp, but has a volumetric feel for a 13% 💪. The bitterness is not strong, but it is herbal, gin-like ❔ with a unique aftertaste 😌. No mention of the brewing process, but it tastes like a sake yeast 😋. There is a catharsis to this drink ✨❔❔.

Probably one of my most repeated and regular sake 🌾. The rice used was Kiyo-Nishiki from Yamagata (I think it used to be different...) 🌾. I was notified by my favorite Suehiro-san (about half a year ago?) that the rice used was Dewa-sansanbari. The rice used was changed to Dewa Sanbai 😮. This was a big deal for me, and I was looking forward to buying the new sake when it comes out... I was looking forward to buying it when the new sake was released... and then they announced that the rice used in the new sake was now Gohyakumangoku ❕... big news for me ✨ than the shock of not being able to drink the Dewa Sanzu. I have always felt the similarity between Shizuoka sake and Niigata sake, including Isohajime, and now I am even more intrigued by the use of Ihyakumangoku from the Hokuriku region 😆. The word "Gohyakumangoku" is in the upper right corner of the label. I can feel the spirit of the brewer 🤨. Newly brewed, once fired 🔥. The aroma of ginjo and the light quality of the sake are the same as before, The light quality of the sake is still the same, just more refreshing and spicier than before 🤔. The rice flavor is also very strong 🍚. Overall, it's still a Shizuoka sake!

Jurian, good evening😊. Isojumma Honjozo is my standard sake too. I recently got the Gohyakumangoku one and am storing it in the fridge. I am looking forward to drinking it during the year-end and New Year holidays. It is different from Niigata sake, but Shizuoka sake is good.

Thank you very much, Hiraccio 😊. We would love to hear your thoughts on it, please raise your review. I would have loved to drink the Dewa Sanzu version 😢.

The last of this year's Hiyayogoshi, which you definitely don't want to miss. The last of this year's hiyaoroshi, a brand of only hiyaoroshi from Houraisen's brewery ❔. It seems to have been stored and matured in a tunnel 🐽. The aroma is like ripe apples 🍎. Smooth and silky like water 〰︎ The freshness is assertive at first, but in the latter half, there is a richness and a sense of fullness, which I guess is only possible with hiyaoroshi 🤔. There is more alcohol than the alcohol content 🍶. Very clean and neat✨ It is truly Houraisen hiyaoroshi ✨. One rank higher taste, very satisfying 😋.

I received this year from a friend: 🙇‍♂️ When you open the bottle, the sweet and fruity aroma wafts through the air as usual〰︎🎶 The standing aroma is of malted rice, ripe apples, pineapples, pears, etc. 🍎🍍🍐. Slightly effervescent on the palate, fresh, fruity, lactic soda🫧🫧. The second half has a strong pungency. ⚡️ Somewhat modern, but rather orthodox and classic ❔. It also has a strong sake feel 🍶. Just my opinion 🤔. It's more like the cool, cool feeling of dawn that I had been feeling until now. I had an impression of friendliness and charm this time rather than the cool dawn coolness I had felt so far 😊.

This year's Hiyoroshi 🍁 that you definitely don't want to miss. Aizu Chusho for the first time in a while: ⚔️ It has a gorgeous nose of yogurt, orange, lemon, etc., but when you drink it, the fruitiness is subdued and it is a classic flavor-oriented sake 🍶. It flows smoothly with a slight thickening, and although not assertive, it has a firm sake quality with a strong umami, leaving a bitter taste from the hard palate to the pharynx. 〰︎ As the temperature rises, the graininess increases and there is a mature taste. I have seen negative reviews about this sake, but you may find it peculiar in this area 🤔. I had the impression that it is truly an Aizu Chusho 😋.

This year's hiya oroshi, which I definitely don't want to miss out on I chose this one Fruity, with a rummy aroma It was surprisingly soft on the palate and flowed like water with aromas of rumminess, apricots, Japanese pears, and mandarin oranges. 〰︎〰︎ It is not rough at all, just gentle 😌. The core flavor of Junmai Ginjo is not assertive, but it is very strong. There is a weight of alcohol at the end 🍶. The label on the back says "Mature". The taste is exactly as it should be 😋.

Here is the next hiya-otoshi of the year that you must not miss 🍁. The aroma is lightly sour and citrus 🍊. If you drink it, you'll find sweetness and acidity of a sake yeast, and melon-like fruitiness 🍈. It has a complex aroma, with a variety of flavors ranging from fresh to mature, and it's very drinkable, but it's all nicely integrated. The higher the temperature, the richer and more complex the flavor. It has a modern atmosphere. The acidity, which is typical of Yamahai, is also effective 😌. The richness of the flavor, the bitterness in the aftertaste, and the astringency give it a strong hiyaoroshi flavor 🍂.

Another one I brought back from Saga is your first Miyanomatsu: 🙇‍♂️ According to the owner of the store where I bought it, it is a draft sake, but it is matured and is released at this time of the year as hiyaoroshi sake 👂. The aroma of the rich rice flavor suggests the richness of the sake. ⤴️ It has a viscosity when you drink it, but it is light and slightly effervescent 🫧. The taste is a strong, dark sake, with a sweetness in the back, and an orangey aroma on the nose 🍊. It has a strong umami and a strong bitterness in the second half 💪. Definitely has a hiyaoroshi feel to it 😋😋.

I bought it at Taguri Sake Shop in Takeo City and intended to drink it there, but ended up taking it home 🏠. It was the store's original product. It was wrapped in newspaper with a handwritten popup. It was a very nice store, including the store staff. 🙇‍♂️ When I opened the bottle, the fruity aroma spread ✨. Apples, grapes, pears...with a deadly flavor in the back 😌. Charming on the palate... now pineapple-like fruitiness, sweetness 🍍. It's sharp and fades away leaving a nice bitter taste. The aftertaste is quite spicy ⚡️ A blend of Kitashizuku and Omachi ❔ Mmmm... This is great❕I was impressed😋.

After a long-awaited and superbly restful stay at Rakan no Yu, we moved to Saga City and went to a yakitori restaurant 🐓. One of the two local hiyayadoroshi (sake) The fresh one is also quite dry with plenty of umami on top ⚡️ and a long lingering bitter taste 〰︎ The robust flavor goes well with fatty yakitori. The lotus root in the picture was delicious👍

When I was in college, I was a sake connoisseur and went to a sake shop in a prestigious sake club... I remember visiting a sake shop on the outskirts of Takasaki when I heard that there was a delicious sake called "Yoakemae" that could be purchased at a liquor store in the suburbs of Takasaki. At the time I had the impression that it was a modern sake, but now I remember that it tasted exactly like a sake from Shinshu 🤔. It's been a while since I've had it, but I remembered that and popped it in 👇. On the first day, the aroma of ripe green apples and a hint of grapes ❔. As the temperature rises, the aroma of rice also softly comes through 🍚. The taste is round and round in the mouth, and then it quickly breaks off, followed by a slight bitterness, and finally a rather strong astringency. ⚡️ Overall, it is refreshing, just like a sake from Shinshu 😌. On the second day, the sweetness increases and it shows its full potential. ⤴️ The unfamiliar flavors that bothered me a little on the first day have receded 👍.

We have quite a bit of inventory this season, and we want to narrow down the number of hiyaoroshi to make sure we get the right ones... 🎯. Here is the first one 🤨. Brown sugar, slightly melon-like aroma 🍈. Very slight chili 🫧. Sourness from the attack, and you'd think it would be light... but it has a heavy body and rice flavor 😮. A burning sensation of alcohol 🔥. I can't drink a lot of it, but I want to keep piling on 😋. It's a hiyaoroshi-ish hiyaoroshi of a junmai sake that seems to be a junmai sake ✨. Accompanied by "Sakanamame", a late harvest edamame to end Niigata's edamame season 🫛! They are called "phantom beans" because of their short harvest season, but I was able to get some 👍. They have a firm texture, a strong flavor, and are really great as a snack 😊.

I went to a restaurant 🚃 that looks like a hideout in Kami-ichi. On the way to the restaurant, we were impressed by the view of the Tsurugidake Mountains 🥹. After having beer and Hayashi, we tried this sake, which we didn't know was on the local sake list. I told the owner about it and he said, "It's sold at the convenience store... The label has the sword on it ✨. I heard there is a place called Shirahagi district in Kamiichi 🏞️ It's a clean, crisp, dry, beautiful Toyama-style sake 😌. It went well with the wonderful sashimi 😋. Great sake for a mealtime drink 👍

A gift for me. Looks like a sake brewed with a lot of care ✨Thank you 🙇‍♂️ Ripe melon, unique ikuhashimoto flavors, and a slightly withered fern-like standing aroma 🌿. Very slightly fizzy and fresh 🫧. On the palate, tropical fruitiness with acidity, pineapple, mango, and some lactic acidity 😌. The wine has a solid drinking experience and umami. The end of the bottle has a little bit of a sake-like peculiarity and a sense of maturity... 😋. Freshness and maturity appear and disappear as if they are intertwined...they seem to live together at a high level 🤔.

At a neighborhood ramen restaurant 🍜. The assortment here is mainly modern sake, except for the local ones. One of them had my favorite Aki-shika in a different flag color, so I ordered it last 🦌. It has a light mouthfeel and a gorgeous ginjo aroma that I haven't had much of with other sakes I've had here so far ✨. But in the second half, the umami slowly pushes in... But in the second half, the umami slowly pushes through... and it's a solid food sake 😌. I'm bowing down to your high level of quality 🙇‍♂️ The essence of quality, a summer sake unique to this place: ⭐️ The cold ume salt soba noodles, a limited edition, to finish off the meal is delicious 😋!

What a great addition to the neighborhood lineup! I used to be in a situation where I could easily drink it (before my breakthrough ❔), but it was so sweet and rich that I avoided it 😔. But to find it so close by... I have no choice but to ask for it 🥴 Ohi ♡♡♡ Open your mouth ✨ with a direct pump on your shoulder Slightly effervescent🫧very fresh I've been told this a lot, but it's definitely a bine🍍. Unexpectedly light and refreshing, very different from my previous impression 🤔. Maybe it's just the taste of this drink, but I'd like to try others 🤤 if I can 💦. Well, it was delicious👍

We have an extraordinary selection of sake ❔ It's been a long time since I've been to my neighborhood ramen store 🙇‍♂️ First glass of this low-alcohol drink! Chicken skin with ponzu (citrus juice) for the entrée! Tachiko is like rice 🍚! Refreshingly sweet, round and smooth 〰︎ The last one is quite spicy⚡️ Fruitiness like grapes and pears. It's a very Shizuoka junmai. It's absolutely delicious lukewarm, and it seems to be very soothing. ☺️ I mean, it can be drunk anywhere from kinky to lukewarm ✨.
