I bought it at Toko's Sake Brewery, a sake brewery museum in Yonezawa, where I visited during GW. Yonezawa is famous for Takayama Uesugi, but his teacher, Heishu Hosoi, was born in Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture. By the way, the picture of my icon is Heishu-kun. This sake is a limited edition sake. I was told to enjoy it with a glass of wine, so I drank it with a glass of wine while thinking of Hosoi Heishu. It had a sweet aroma and was tasty without any habits. 3,000 yen.
This is a sake from Sado Island. I saw on TV once that it was the brewery that revived after being the most collapsed. I have recently seen this sake at Sake-no-wa and was curious about it. It is slightly carbonated, sweet, and has no acidity. It was an easy-drinking sake with no habits.
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. I couldn't read "Gagakuyo" as "Utashiro" for the life of me. As the characters suggest, it had a miyabi and elegant taste. I would like to drink this sake again.
I had an image of Gikyo as a dry sake, but this sake is a sweet sake with a thicker taste. The alcohol content is 16 to 17%.
In our family's comparison of three sake breweries, Gikyo was rated the best. 2,420 yen
Today we had a drink comparison of the three collaborating breweries. The gorilla label represents Aichi Prefecture, and the location of each brewery is shown as Owari, Mikawa, and Chita. All are made with Yume-Ginko sake rice. This Shikishima has an alcohol content of 18%. The Shikishima has an alcohol content of 18%, is lightly cloudy, and has a slightly acidic taste. 2420 yen.
This sake is a collaboration of three breweries from Owari, Chita, and Mikawa in Aichi Prefecture. The sake rice is Yume-Ginko, and it was sold exclusively at the Chohyo Spring Festival held in April. It is sweet and a little tingly on the tongue, with a slightly sour aftertaste. I was able to purchase the remaining two sake breweries we collaborated with today, Shikishima and Gikyo, and look forward to drinking them. 2,420 yen.
Kanji no Takachiyo is said to be a product limited to Niigata Prefecture. It is a little tangy and dry with a smooth aftertaste. It is a sake like water.
I bought this at the brewery during my GW trip to Yamagata Fukushima. I wanted to buy Sharaku, but the brewery did not sell it and gave me a list of distributors. I bought this sake because it was sold only at the brewery. It was easy to drink with a sweet taste and a clean aftertaste. 2082 yen
I went to Yonezawa City during Golden Week and purchased this sake at Toko's Sake Brewery. Nyu is a sake that is only available in Yamagata. With a coupon I got at a roadside station in Yonezawa, I got a sake bottle with Toko's name on it. It is a dry sake with a Sake meter rating of +6. It was easy to drink with a clean taste. 1760 yen.
I bought it at a sake brewery in Kitakata City. I bought it because it was a limited edition sake from the brewery. The brewery is the family home of Yumi Karahashi, who appeared on Sunday Morning. The sake rice is Yumeko and the yeast used is Utsukushima Yume Yeast. The sake was sweet and easy to drink. I opened it right away.
Following Tobiroki, I drank Naraman, a sake from Fukushima. This sake was also easy to drink, with a slightly sweet taste and a clean aftertaste. I would like to drink this sake again.
We drank it at dinner at the ryokan where we stayed. Since I was in Fukushima, I was lucky enough to find Tobiroki on the menu, and it was the first thing I ordered. It is a sweet sake with an elegant taste. I went to the sake brewery, but it was closed for the vacations.
I was given a bottle of Omachi Ooragarami, which was released on April 27, as a Kyoto souvenir from the brewery. It was delicious, with a fresh taste and a clean aftertaste. As usual, 500ml is not enough to drink.
I bought it at a store run by Ito Corporation, a sake brewery. There is a cafe and restaurant next to the store. It is made of Yamada-Nishiki with a rice polishing ratio of 60% and an alcohol content of 16%. It looks like a classical sake.
It had been sitting in the fridge for a while. Since it was Golden Week, I drank it with roast beef and wine-steamed clams I had caught at the Tidal Basin. This Huayouyu was slightly carbonated, sweet and tasted like pineapple. It was a delicious drink. 3364 yen.
