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 ✨.

I found it at Ya Fat in Baba's hometown of Sanjo 👀Two other varieties, on a hunch, this one: ✌️ Fukugao (that's "fukugao") Sake Brewery is the only brewery in Sanjo ✨. The label has a horizontal chop on it that looks like a Tenryu. The shoulder label pays homage to the PWF championship belt 🏆. Sweet rice aroma with a light banana aroma 🍌. I was surprised that the acidity is quite strong😮😮. It has a nice crispness with a clean umami taste. ⚡️ The bitterness is subdued and you can go as much as you want! Great as a food sake 👍 There is no specific name on the bottle, but it is 60% polished rice and tastes more than Honjyo. ⤴️ I wonder if he can express this sake in his specialty 🤔... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I dare you to choose... the horizontal chop on the label ❔. No, it's the Brain Karatake split in his prime 🎋🌟.

Juriankan (brand-name breath mint marketed as having various medicinal properties) This is a mega concern for me as a Baba Zenjitsu-ite! I'm sure the young Baba would have been terribly sharp 👍. His physical ability to move so agilely with that physique is off the charts.

Hi Hilacho 😊. Thank you 🥥. The other day I went to see a wrestling match at Aole for the first time in a long time. I remembered seeing Baba's brave performance at the former Kosei Nenkin Kaikan when I was a child 😌.

In front of Naoetsu Station, popular izakaya with a good selection from inside and outside of the prefecture 🏮. I never thought I would see you here ❕. This is the second time myself 🙇‍♂️ Light ❕. Lactic soda that disappears fleetingly🫧. Fine effervescence, but feels like it's been a while since the bottle was opened... Too fleeting, should have had it a little earlier ❔I don't think the true value is here 🤔. But it would be great for a summer (post-roovy) first sip ❕ or better without 💦. Ultramodern✨

The modest nose is slightly sweet malted rice and orange 🍊. When you take a sip, it is like a green melon? Melon-like 🍈... I also felt some greenish herbs 🌿... Less sweet and more sake-like than before (maybe a long time ago). The acidity is also less than before, with a lower center of gravity and a sense of alcohol 😯. It's been a while, but apparently it was 15 degrees last time too ⤴️ I wonder if it's always been 🤔 Not much burst ❔. The balance seems to be better... The next day, bitterness better ⚡️ I tried it on the rocks🧊 and the acidity was swooshy and stretchy: 〰︎ 4 days later The acidity is much higher. The bitterness is also assertive and everything seems to have opened up 🤗. I think this is the best place to drink it 😋.

I was thinking that I wanted to drink this unaudited for the first time in a while, and then I got this as a gift.......................Yamatoden is new to me 🙇‍♂️ Soupy koji, yogurt, and a hint of banana on top 🍌. It is full of umami, banana fruitiness, moderate dryness, and a hint of bitterness at the end 😌. It has all the good points of junmai sake and goes well with a wide variety of snacks 😌. We served it with Niigata's summer delicacies (edamame is a rarely seen variety called Yoei ✨). It has a bit of a modern essence, but it's a straightforward, honest, top-quality junmai sake 😋.

It's been a long time since I received a bamboo leaf and my memory is a little fuzzy, but the upper standing is already turtle-aged 🐢. Maybe I think so because I know the answer, but it really tastes like it was made by bringing Gohyakumangoku to Nagano 🤔. There is a bit of fizz 🫧. It has a calm taste and is rather refreshing. The lingering astringent and pungent taste is something you don't get with Kamerei: ⚡️ In any case, the taste is quite different from the usual jungin of Gohyakumangoku from Hokuriku (including Niigata, which I am used to drinking), and I wonder if it is the potential of rice from Noto or the result of collaboration with Kamerei... Three days later It's the taste of Kamerei after some time 🙂. Just more sharpness, like the spiciness has increased. The astringency and bitterness at the end of the day is much stronger ⚡️ We were able to have a precious sake 😌.

Here's one that's been getting good reviews lately... Fresh, fresh aroma of a mixture of grapes and malted rice 🍇. Slightly effervescent with a rummy taste 🫧. Fresh, with a bitter finish. Good umami, light but not too much, the good points of Tokujun are fully expressed 😋. "Pursuing the best of everyday sake" ✨. But if I could drink this in everyday life, it would be too much for me...I can feel the element of hare and it's a little too high quality 😅... 2 days later: ▶️ The freshness recedes, the overall taste is more subdued and the sweetness (peachy too) recedes, making it feel more like a sake 🍶. This one is more like an everyday sake 😌.

My turn🐯❕疾風怒涛❕辛口 ❗️ I've always been curious 🎶. Crisp, melon-like standing aroma 🍈. Freshly cooked rice in it🍚. Not much fruitiness on the palate, but lots of flavor and great fullness 🎈. The low-pasteurized sake that is so common these days, "What? I thought they were more polished. but... This one has a good sense of low-polishedness, and it has a volumetric taste, but it's not a messy taste, it's a messy taste like it should be 🤔. But it's beautiful... And it's quite dry ⚡️ I have a feeling this will warm up 🍶. I'll have it heated up ❕. I knew it... The miscellaneous flavors are all in one condensed sphere, lightly 〰︎ The second half has a sweetness that seems to have gained freshness 😋😋.

Thankfully received 🙇‍♂️ You can't buy alcohol like this very often 💧. What's impressive is that it's fresh, but the taste is calm 😌. The acidity is effective, flows like water, is crisp and not at all tricky 〰︎ It's not flashy but it's classy and has a hidden sense of quality 🤔. It has the atmosphere of a high quality sake ✨. It has a more modern essence than the sky 🤔
