寿梨庵
Junmai Daigin Autumn Aged Sake with Ipponjime It's very rare to have a raw sake as Autumn Agari (hiyaoroshi) 🤔. But still, there are a lot of titles 😅😅 Mouth opening was punchy 🥊. Slightly effervescent, grape, orange, apricot-like fruitiness with a freshness of rice 🌾. The acidity is strong, but the mellow, intense sweetness is powerful 💪❕. I've been drinking it for 3 days, 5 days, and beyond, and overall the curd has been removed and it's settled and rounded 😌😌. The sweetness was quite strong, especially at first, and I had a bit of a bad feeling about it, but it became more and more to my liking 😋.

Oyaji @ Toyama refill of hiyayoroshi I feel so much in common with Gen no Taki 🤔. It flows very nicely as well, and has a strong flavor profile: ⤴️ And it has a richer flavor than the Gohyakumangoku sakes I often drink 😌. It goes so well with the ayu fish from the Jinzu River that I asked for 😆. Praise yourself for choosing it ✨ No, thanks to the store 🙇‍♂️ After this, we had a special junmai of Ariiso Akebono and I still felt a common denominator in the quality of the sake 😊. Toyama hiyaoroshi, excellent 🏆.

Pilgrimage to Spa Alps, the "holy land of sauna in Hokuriku": ♨️ This place has a good reputation for its sahimei, but I went out to visit Oyaji-san recommended by Kazuhiko Ota 🚌. After quenching our thirst with Akahoshi, we started the first of three consecutive Hiyaoroshi ✨. What impressed me was the smoothness of the throat or mucous membrane touch ❔ 〰︎ I guess it's the nature of the brewing water, but it's smoother than water 〰︎〰︎ The ginjo aroma is not very assertive but fresh, with a hint of maturity in the back 😌. Very satisfying - perfect for quintessential sake 👍. And I could definitely taste the cedar barrel flavor... When I mentioned this sake at a sake store I visited the next day, the owner said, "I don't think they use cedar barrels... Hmmm... 🤔 Smooth and smooth Smoothness that is full-bodied, but overpowers the full-bodiedness. Strong aroma of cedar barrels Toyama hiyaoroshi

Watago Sake Shop @ Kameda, Konan-ku, Niigata City was pushing it on insta-live and I ran out to buy it 🚙. They had Junmai Ginjo, but I chose this one. The top palate is banana🍌 with some apricot-like fruitiness and a mature aroma in the back. It has a volumetric feel, but the acidity is strong and refreshing. It also has greenish herbs🍀. It is sharp and has a strong bitterness in the aftertaste... It's a complex taste, but the acidity holds it all together nicely and generally gives the impression of being an excellent food sake✨. As the temperature rises, the acidity settles and the sense of maturity increases, but the freshness that coexists also increases ❔... interesting 😊. It was a good sake that left a lasting impression👍

This is my first experience with Akita Sake Komachi 🌾 in Tasake. I don't have much experience with this sake rice itself, only ecru ❔. The aroma is that of a fresh ginjo ✨. Full of sweet umami and grapey/peary fruitiness on the palate... clear and crisp ❕. Easy to understand, in a good way, and quite a top shelf taste 😋. On the third day, the taste settled down and it became round and smooth 〰︎ which is also delicious👍 Thankfully, I've had a variety of tasake recently, and none of them are out of place and genuinely delicious ♪ I think it has become a little more modern than in the past, but it has a consistent "character" and I like that it doesn't give the impression of being...stuck up 😌.

The master selected this sake, which was not on the list at the restaurant we visited a while ago. You don't see this Aizan Junmai Ginjo very often 🤔. The nose is subtle, but when you drink it, the melon-like ginjo aroma spreads like a blooming flower, and the cute sweet and sourness that is typical of Aizan overflows 💕. The flow is smooth and the spread of umami is amazing 😋. A sake to be enjoyed on its own and carefully 😌. It's a junmai ginjo, but it tastes more like a daiginjo, and I could feel the unique character of Nabeshima in it ✨.

Famous neighborhood ramen restaurant 🍜. The selection of sake has been so good lately that it has become an izakaya in my opinion 🏮. I found something on the menu that I couldn't believe my eyes ❕ on an Instagram that I follow, so I came here after a long time 🚶. First of all, Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi, a limited edition from the brewery! This is the first time I've tasted a limited edition sake, but it tastes just like Kamerei 🐢. Apple aroma, strong sweet and robust flavor with lots of umami 😊. And then, Yumemizuho❕. Sake brewed in Ueda with Yumemizuho from Noto by Kazuma Shuzo ✨. No rice polishing ratio listed, no specific name listed I got flavors that I have never experienced in the Kamerei I know. Not much appleiness, lactic acidity, rummy... Herbal on the nose🍀. It seems to be fire-brewed, but with a slight effervescence, fresh 🫧. The sweetness is moderate, acidic and light. It is beautiful and clear, but the bitterness in the second half is rather strong. The overall taste is mature, more like a food wine than a standard sake 😌. Yumemizuho seems to be a basic edible rice, and I wonder if that is reflected in the taste 🤔. Also, it has a very local Niigata or Hokuriku feel to it, and I felt a gorgeous, positive essence to it 🤗.

Good evening, Jurian! You can drink Kamerei at a ramen shop? ⁉️ I can't imagine that here in the countryside of Shizuoka 🥺. This Kamerei also looks kind of delicious.

Hi ellie😊 I think this one is as rural as it gets, but the owner loves sake and has an amazing selection at the ramen shop✨. The ramen is also tasteful and delicious 🍜.

WOM
Thank you, Jurian, for your support of Noto. You have an amazing ramen shop. Is this Kamerei brewery limited? Yumemizuho is an early maturing staple rice that is distributed almost exclusively locally, and now that the new rice is beginning to be distributed, we are slowly feeling Noto's recovery.
Japanese>English
寿梨庵
Hi WOM 😊 Kamerei has a totally different atmosphere, probably because they use basic sake rice. It is not flashy, but I would say it is nourishing 😋.

Don't stop drinking #Noto! The other bottle we purchased as part of the set is a collaboration version♪ It is brewed with the same rice used by Yoshida Shuzo with Fukui's original yeast✨. It tastes gorgeous compared to the original version: ☺️ Very fruity and fizzy, it's like fire-roasted but raw. The ginjo aroma is strong, mainly green apple, with other citrus and banana notes... complex ❕. After an initial charming sweetness, the spiciness came in sharp and tight 🙂. This strange development left a lasting impression 🤔.

First, make sure it's well chilled. It feels like 18 degrees alcohol itself, or even more than that 😮 Dark and hard. It has a rich sweetness and a strong flavor 💦 like a pure sake. Recommended on the rocks🧊. Round 😌. Slightly rummy I can taste the rice flavor, but it's kind of like drinking a spirit... It also has an atmosphere of rice shochu... I also recommend the "Imayotsuka Sour". I'm not sure what to say... A fine rice shochu highball ✨ Minty and refreshing🍀 Minty and refreshing 🍀 and more rounded Easy to drink and the best match for this season 🎯. This is useful for various occasions. ✌️ Top prize winner in the all genre highball competition 🏅!

I got this from 🙇‍♂️ It's from a domaine 🌾. I got it cold first 🧊. The taste is subdued, but the rice flavor is amazing. Sweetness and acidity are at the forefront, with a discreetly gorgeous melon-like fruitiness blooming in the back 🍈. The latter half of the wine has an astringent taste from the aroma reminiscent of maturity. It is light and mellow, old and new 🤔. It becomes more profound as the temperature rises 😋. I think it should be warmed to lukewarm 🍶. It's like a flower blooming 💐. The gorgeous aroma comes to the forefront, yet the harmony and mellowness is smooth. Even better - it's also good warmed up: ☺️ I can't explain it well, but it's a different type of warming up than what I've experienced so far ❔. I remember having Izumihashi a few times at a restaurant, but this is the first time I've had the chance to enjoy it. This is a very talented brewery ✨. I love the attention to detail 👏.

I was curious about it last year but passed on it. It is a rare low-alcohol sake for Murayu and recommended to be heated. When I drank it cold first, I got the impression that it was a bit like ⁉︎. It's not like Murayu, it's refreshing but not enough... what does this mean? Recommended heating ♨️ I felt that it could not withstand high temperatures, so I tried it in the sun, then human skin, then lukewarm... it turned into something else 😆. The citrusy aroma that was present in the cold sake became more pronounced as the temperature was raised, and the acidity became more pronounced 🍊. Gradually, the umami flavor increases and the sweetness and spiciness become more pronounced, and the body becomes more solid. ⤴️ Best served lukewarm 🏅. But it would be more interesting if it were warmed up in the sun, as it has a more unique and loose feeling 🤔.

This is an original version of a sake brewed at Yoshida Shuzo with Gohyakumangoku and Yamada Nishiki that escaped the disaster at the brewery. It is said to use Kanazawa yeast. It has a faint aroma of melon and banana, and when you drink it, those gorgeous flavors overflow.... In the second half, a strong bitterness appears to compete with it, giving it a solid drinking experience 😋. It is both gorgeous and powerful, but the latter seems to be more dominant 🤔. It seems to have a lot of spirit 😌.

I bought this sake for a bit of a reason, and with all due respect, I didn't expect much, but I'm sure it's a wonderful sake ✨🙇‍♂️ It has a slight matured aroma and a lot of rich umami. It's a junmai sake like junmai sake, but with a melon fruitiness and cute sweetness and acidity 😊. By the way, the Omachi sake I've had so far is more than Ginjo class, and I don't think I've had much experience with Junmai sake... maybe it's different in the real world... 🤔. "Oumachi without makeup". I have the impression that the goodness of its character cannot be hidden 😋.

I purchased this when I visited the brewery in the spring and was already notified that it was no longer available 💧. Chill it well. Cool banana aroma, soft on the palate but pungent and astringent from the mid-palate 🤨. It has a strong alcohol taste. It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, which gives it a sharp and refreshing taste. ☘️ But if you don't drink it quickly, it may not be as good as it should be 💦. It's a shame that this bottle, which seems to have a lot of fans, is sold out 😢.

Do you know mitwokaz's Instagram? I follow him because he opens various kinds of sake (usually four-packs) every time, and I like his brilliant drinking and the relaxed family atmosphere with a Showa-era feel. ☺️ He always drinks with gusto, but he never talks about the taste, and he said "delicious" so many times that I ran out to buy some. 🏃‍♂️ Like him, the bottle was opened in a mixed state, no bubbles. It is a lactic acid type beverage with a lactic acid type standing aroma, friendly acidity, and fruitiness like pear and grape ❔ It is also low in alcohol, so it is light in feel and refreshingly sharp with a firm bitterness. ⚡️ It's like a summer drink and goes down very well. I naturally said "delicious" myself 😊.

Previous Continued I requested another glass of leftover bonito tartar, and requested that it be served warm with a robust sake... A junmai ginjo from Kamikimoto, H30BY, another aged Omachi sake that we've been getting a lot of lately ❕. He recommended heating it up, best at 52℃, so we carefully warmed it up 🍶. What a luxury. ☺️ It has a wonderful rounded fullness, with rich flavors of sweet, spicy, and bitter, and a nutty, cocoa-like aroma. This is not just for this dish, it has a wide range of protection ✨. I felt a common denominator with the esteemed Etsukaijin 🤔. After all, aged Omachi sake is good 😋.

I have always wanted to visit Marie Chiba's restaurant. About 80% of the people at the counter were foreigners💧. I chose the "Bonito and Kale Tartar" from the menu, which seemed to have a strong creative flavor. When I asked for a pairing, this sake was served. Nigori no Nama, a mizu-hashiroshi sake made from mizu-hashiroshi sake I thought the bonito and the sweet sake ⁉︎ would be a perfect match 👍I wonder if the Nara pickles mixed in the bonito helped 🤔. Viscous yet very smooth and elegant✨It has a fruity apple-like taste, sweet and sour and cuddly, but calm and... Like a young and beautiful lady 💍. This sake is made like a noble sake, but there was none of the elements that put me off noble sake 😋.

I found this sake at a nearby supermarket during a kind of Fukui fair around the time of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension 👀. 100% Yamadanishiki from Fukui Prefecture, 70% polished rice, Honjozo The aroma is of maturity, with a hint of honey-like sweetness in the background. It is a refreshing, super-dry sake that is well suited for use as a mid-meal drink 😊. When it comes to sake with such tiggy ❔ (just my personal impression 💦) specs, I think about the intention 🤔 (sorry if the maker has a clear intention 🙇‍♂️). When served chilled, I could taste a slight apple-like fruitiness 🍎.

Second time at a counter kappo-like restaurant in Nagaoka. We were suggested that there was a rare sake Minokawa Sake Brewery (🍶), which used to be located in Nagaoka but regrettably went out of business in 2014. The sake was bottled there at the time for exhibition at a sake competition and consigned to the Naeba Sake Brewery in the forest where it was brewed ❔. This time it was released in full ✨. H22BY, 13 years old 😲. 80/100❕ Despite the long aging, it is fresh without feeling it ❕ It has a noble ginjo aroma that is one rank above the others and has the atmosphere of a high quality white sake 💫. The body is dignified and steel-like, with a deep, core-like structure. It also has a long, crisp, lingering finish 😋. The aged Yamama sake that impressed me before was also Omachi. I wonder if omachi is suitable for long aging 🤔. On the back label, there is a comment from the former president, Mr. Matsumoto. There must not have been many breweries in Niigata that brewed Omachi rice at that time, so he must have had some feelings for it 😌. And the sake has gone through a dramatic history. (Ki) and it seems there will be more releases in the future😊.

Second time to Nagaoka's hard-to-reserve restaurant. This time, I was again accompanied by a regular senior staff member. 🙇‍♂️ The main dish this time? It didn't look like it was fresh, but it was very fresh! The aroma is very fresh and fresh, and the sweetness is moderate (not so dry as to be dry) and refreshing. It also has a minty coolness. ☘️ It claims to be a junmai sake, but it is 55% polished rice and has a junmai ginjo feel to it: ☺️ I think the bigger the size the better the nodoguro 🤔. The fat is very juicy and elegant! It's good to enjoy this lingering taste slowly, but it's more comfortable to let it go with this sake👍.
