My father bought this sake as a souvenir from his trip to Nara and sent it to me.
It has been about two weeks since the bottle was opened, but there is still quite a bit of gas in the bottle.
It has a muscat-like aroma, acidity in the umami flavor, and is not heavy on the palate, making it easy to drink and dangerous but delicious.
This is the first sake from a brewery in Kure, Hiroshima. It is a rather small sake brewery.
It is quite dry with an assertive acidity.
It looks like it would be good warmed up.
First sake from Nagano for the first time at Sake-no-wa. Only 10 more to go before it conquers the whole country.
It has freshness, umami and acidity, and a clean aftertaste. It is easy to drink.
The second cup was Okayama's Kyokusei, hiyaoroshi.
It tasted mildly delicious and slightly dry.
It is a pure sake, and according to my research, it has a high alcohol content of 18 to 19 degrees, so I felt quite intoxicated.
It was a Friday in Okayama, and many restaurants were fully booked, but we managed to get in.
The first drink was a local Okayama sake, Sake Ichisuji.
It has a strong umami flavor and is slightly dry. The aroma was subtle.
It goes well with the simmered dish of iodako (sea bream) and sashimi of mackerel, which we ordered as our main dish, and is suitable for a mid-meal drink.
The color is slightly yellowish and the taste is dry with a hint of umami. It is very drinkable.
Many of the other sakes also seem to be suitable for a mealtime drink.
At a standing bar directly owned by Takeuchi Sake Brewery in the Osaka Ekimae No. 2 Building.
Sake is reasonably priced, starting at 200 yen per glass.
This sake is dry with a moderate aroma and acidity.
It gives a very different impression when drunk on its own or with food. The acidity seems to soften when paired with food.
This is the first sake from a brewery in Yamanashi that I have ever had.
The aroma is fruity, and in the mouth it has a delicious and matured taste, which is strange.
Located near Hankyu Nakatsu Station in Osaka, this is a type of restaurant where you can pour your own sake.
The sake is freshly squeezed, slightly dry, and has a strong umami flavor.
The same Koikawa Shuzo as the previous one, this sake is quite cloudy.
It is dry and quite acidic. As the temperature drops, the umami comes out. Interesting.
Reimei is a sake made by Kinegawa in Isahaya City, Nagasaki, although some of their sake is made in Okinawa. This sake is made from Yamadanishiki produced in Isahaya City, Nagasaki.
The color is a little yellowish, and the first sip is umami. The first sip is umami, and the spiciness and acidity gradually come through. It is delicious.
