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 🤔

A faint aroma of cooked rice 🍚. Slightly effervescent and smooth, with a good acidity 😙. Lemon, grape and other fruit flavors🍋🍇. Orange-like flavors as the temperature rises 🍊 As the back label says, the theme is a new Niigata food sake that you won't get tired of drinking ❔. The identity of Niigata, "Gohyakumangoku" is proudly displayed on the label 🌾. And the word "NIIGATA" ✨. No rice polishing ratio 💦. Low alcohol and light bodied It's rare to find a Niigata Gohyakumangoku with such a high acidity... Niigata sake is originally easy to drink with little peculiarities, but this one is very easy to drink from a different value perspective 😌. The name of this series changes depending on the rice melt of the year 🌊. I think it's a concept that is typical of this place that is conscious of terroir and vintage 👏.

I suddenly remembered drinking it in the past and looked for it in hopes of a reunion... I had no idea it was so hard to find 💧. It seems to be carefully crafted on a small scale: 🙇‍♂️ It doesn't say so on the label, but it is shipped fully aged and the taste clearly shows it 😌. It has a complex nose of brown sugar, cream, etc., like an old wine. The mouthfeel is smooth, but it finishes with impact. ⚡️ It does not have a strong sense of maturity, but rather a fresh impression, and as soon as you think it is unexpectedly light ❔, the umami slowly rushes in, and the bitterness is not so strong, but it is still very strong in the lower esophagus... 😯. After that, the bitterness lingers in the oral cavity: 〰︎ It goes really well with chicken liver 👍 It was easy to expect it to warm up, but the higher the temperature, the easier it becomes to drink ❕. And the more you raise the temperature, the easier it gets to drink ❕ and the more it consistently radiates character without losing its backbone... it's a strong sake ✨. I was actually able to get a bottle of the raw sake as well. Very much looking forward to it😊.

I like to drink sake that is usually consumed in unfamiliar places. I bought this sake when I was in Toyama. I was also struck by the visual 💕. Namekawa is just passing by 🚙🙇‍♂️ Thinking of the city near the sea 😌. Even the honjozo is luxurious with 60% polished rice✨ It's soft on the palate and goes well with all kinds of snacks 😊. And quite dry ⚡️ I thought it tasted similar to Niigata sake, but it's interesting that it's clearly different from the one from the neighboring Joetsu region 🤔.

Good evening, Jurian. I like your local sake, honjozo. I envy you the luxury of making sake with 60% polished rice. The taste of sake is different even in neighboring prefectures such as Niigata and Toyama. It is interesting.
Japanese>English
寿梨庵
Thank you very much, Maruwa-san. I felt that Namekawa is closer to Niigata in Toyama Prefecture and this sake was a good approximation, but the Joetsu region adjacent to Toyama Prefecture has many sweet sake even within Niigata, which led me to the above impression 😊.

New R7 sake, once bottled and fired 🔥. We opened it well beyond its age ἥ. The melon top-drop is also implied 🍈. The mouthfeel is soft and flows like water, the bitterness is light but long 😌. Slightly ripe flavor at the edges. Slightly more outgoing than the casual feel I always get from Tamitsu ✨. Can be served as a food wine or on its own for a long time 😆. After a few days, a subtle aroma of maturity tickles the nose. The spiciness increases and a sake-like feeling emerges 🍶. And more... The taste becomes more and more nourishing. The flavor of grains is up 🌾. This is good👍 This is also an impression that has not existed in previous TAMITSU 🤔.

This is the first time I have purchased this alcohol, having often been associated with it through store recommendations, etc.â It has a sweet standing aroma of koji and a milky aroma too 🍼. I don't feel olives, but it's like a fresh breeze of greenish grass ☘️ The mouthfeel is light like water and slightly effervescent 🫧. Fruitiness like grapes, white peaches It's a low-alcohol, light, but not too much ✨. The bitterness is gradually asserted at the end 😌. Kawatsuru, I have a good impression of all their sakes 😊.

I've finally found you ✨ I'm already dazzling and glowing✨ A mild, sweet, tortoiseshell candy-like standing aroma lightly 🍬. Slightly effervescent on the palate 🫧. There is a grape❔melon❔ like fruitiness, Very round even when well chilled. ⚪️ I just felt it was mellow and fuller than sharp 😊. I got the impression that it's a Junmai sake with a bit of a modern twist, no wonder it's so popular👍

At the Onsen Inn: ♨️ After a night of drinking at dinner, we let sleepiness take over and fell asleep 💤. When you wake up, you are free to take a bath (all private) and drink again in the middle of the night ✨. I think this is the best part of being at a hot spring hotel 😆. Hungry but looking forward to food the next morning 🍚. After quenching my thirst once again 🍺. Drinking the 3 decibels I brought with me 🍺. A white label sake that is thought to have once been a second-class sake, and a sake that was once touted as a phantom sake 🍶. Memories of what used to be like water Now it has a round rice flavor, a sweet taste, and a dry aftertaste. It is rich in flavor, with a mild rice flavor, an astringent taste after the sweetness, and a lingering dry taste 🌾. But it is gentle on the palate and certainly like water. 〰︎ I don't think I've ever felt such sweetness and umami 🤔. I guess the 58% polished rice ❕ specs must be quite different though 😌.

At a unique inn in Oyu Onsen: ♨️ If you order heated local Midorikawa sake at dinner, you will receive a cold sake bottle and a sake warmer, and you can choose your favorite 🍶. You don't see these single bottles very often... probably a regular sake 🤔. If you're not careful, it's about hot 💦. (And another 💧) Dusty: ☺️ A light, dry sake that goes well with everything served. But somewhat more mellow and full-bodied than others 😋. The dishes here are not high quality ingredients, but rather familiar ingredients and seasonings that you are used to eating, but all of them have a refined taste that is one or two ranks above the rest, and I was very satisfied 😆. By the way, Midorikawa, it seems the ban on online sales has been lifted ✨.

Ripe apple, pineapple-like top 🍎. Slightly effervescent and tingling 🫧. It has a strong ginjo-like character, but the drinking comfort is soft and soothing, and in a good way, it also has a special junmai-like atmosphere 😌. The freshness is still there even though it has been aged for a long time. It has been sitting for a while, but the freshness is still there, but the sharpness is a bit weak. If I had opened it a little earlier, it might have been more spicy 😕 But... it's good enough👍 sigh 🤤.

United Arrows designed 2025BY 1st. version ✨. It's an assemblage of Domaine Sakura, and I'm very curious to see how much the 5% turtle tail does ❔, but I can't really tell even after drinking it 😅. It's fire-brewed, but it's fresh and slightly effervescent. But it has a very calm taste. Grape and citrus flavors 🍇. It's like a lactobacillus drink for adults, but I think it goes well with a lot of foods and I think it's excellent as a food wine 🤔. I thought it wouldn't go well with...but it went well with leatherfish liver soy sauce 🤭.

This is my first time to see Akagisan with Shiba Inu label: 🙇‍♂️ Kawaii💕 The aroma is subtle. Slightly effervescent 🫧. It has a strong alcohol and sake taste, but it also has a cool and refreshing taste, just like ramune 🙂. Gentle sweetness and peach fruitiness 🍑❔❔. Unfiltered raw, but flows smoothly and has no curds 〰︎ As the label of the dry honjozo says "man's sake", my image of Akagisan is exactly man's sake💪💪. But I thought this sake was very feminine for an Akagisan 😊.

This is the first time for me to drink sake made with Momota rice, and it is a Junmai Daiginjo made with 45% polished rice, which is familiar with other sake rice ✨It seems to be a limited edition in a can It smells like sweet honey and koji with greenish flavors like grass and trees. ☘️ I guess I didn't feel much of the top shelf because it was chilled so well, but when I sipped it, the fruitiness was just amazing. The luscious aroma of grapes, apples, and pineapple tickles the nose and finishes nicely, leaving a delicious flavor and light bitterness. 〰︎ The sweetness is moderate and refreshing. Fresh but I could also taste a bit of maturity 🤔. I think all Tasake is great, but maybe it's the visual of the cool can with the different flag colors that makes it the most stylish ❔. It's quite expensive (actually a gift 💦), but I'd love to have a whole bunch of it in my stylish fridge 😆.
