The week after I bought Ryoseki and Hatsusun, I went to a liquor store in Fuse again😅. Some of the liquor stores explained on SNS that the sake labeled "Shiboritate" was unfiltered raw sake. It actually had a gaseous feel to it, so I thought it was unfiltered nama sake 🤔. It is made from Omachi produced in Higashi-Osaka. Incidentally, the red label is made with Yamadanishiki produced in Higashiosaka under the supervision of Tetsuji Shampoo Hat, and the green label is made with Yamadanishiki produced in Hineno, Izumisano City. Fresh and slightly effervescent. Not too sweet, but not too dry either. It has a muscat-like flavor, and although it is a pure sake, it is refreshing. Not as spicy as expected and easy to drink. When the temperature is around room temperature, it has a refreshing taste that tastes like peppermint or menthol. The third and fourth pictures are of Cheerio's sake-flavored sparkling 😁, which was also posted by Nemuchi. I couldn't find it in any of the vending machines in my hometown and didn't have the courage to buy a case, so I finally got it from a vending machine in Osaka City💦. It tasted like a fusion of amazake and ramune 🤔.

Good evening, bouken 🌇This is the only brand other than Akirika I found in Osaka 😆. I wonder if there's a demand for non-alcoholic sake in Japan that much 🤣.

I also got to taste samples of the just released Boshimaya 25th Anniversary blended sake 🙏. It had a complex flavor with a lot of acidity, probably due to the inclusion of white malted rice sake, as is typical of blended sakes. Hmmm, I prefer the regular Boshimaya 😅. I've never had a good experience with blended sake 🙄.

Next, the Aigamo farming method of Kikumonmei 🦆. The character of Fujimoto Farm called Aigamo-mon is cute😻 It doesn't say it, but it's unfiltered. It was quite sweet and tasty, and I liked it a lot! They seem to want to make a modern sake, and I look forward to their future! Currently it seems to be almost exclusively fire-aged, so I'm looking forward to seeing the nama-sake as well 😊.

After KITTE, we went to Ikoma Sake Shop. We had a chance to drink some of the sake that we had acquired during our Hiroshima expedition! My first Kiku-Bunmei! The first bottle was a freshly squeezed sake! The first half of the bottle was quite sweet, but the second half was very spicy! However, there are no off-flavors, which is common in country sake, and it is a good sake that seems to be brewed with care.

I drank Junmai Ginjo Aizan from Tateyama before, but this is Special Junmai. There is also a Daiginjo. I guess they use Aizan a lot. It's not sweet, but it's somewhat fruity and has a nice aroma. The aftertaste is a little spicy. Personally, I preferred the Junmai Ginjo, which is sweeter.

It is the same "Hyakumangoku No Shiro" as Manzairaku. The rice is polished to a 48% ratio, but the flavor is robust and powerful. The latter half is quite sweet and delicious. It is the same price as Manzairaku, but this one is more satisfying.

Various Hokuriku sake tasting at KITTE 🍶. I was going to buy Manzairaku, but the price was too high, so I tasted it. It does have a pineapple-like aroma, but it's basically spicy and maybe too refreshing. I'm glad I didn't buy it😅. I probably would have regretted it if I had 💦.

Shinano-Nishiki, which I had avoided because of its dry image, was at the Hanshin Department Store, so I was allowed to drink a variety of it! It was my first time to drink 😁. Chogen Hi-iri It tastes slightly sweet, and you can drink it all the time with its mild and gentle taste. Chogen Nama Sake A little rougher than Hi-ire. Personally, I preferred the hi-ire version. Ippou Nama Sake I thought it was dry and sharp. I could drink it myself during dinner. Tsuenzaburo Nama-nazake I was looking for this one. It was delicious with a strong flavor and moderate sweetness 😋I bought it! JDG01 Sparkling sake. It's like champagne with a sweet and sour taste 🍾. Delicious in a glass of wine - they said it won an award. Junmai Daiginjo Hibana Sweet and juicy and delicious 😋. All the Shinanonishiki were delicious, but this one was my favorite! Junmai Daiginjo Kinshu Polishing ratio 39%, aged for 27 years😳. It seems they only serve it at events and you can't buy it at the brewery! It has a beautiful taste that you can't believe it's 27 years old, and there's a trace amount of maturity. Someone buy it 🤣.

After leaving the Sake Expo in Harukas and getting on the train, I realized that I had not drunk the Ryoseki cold sake recommended by Nemuchi😨. I remembered that the next liquor store I was going to was carrying Ryoseki, so I checked the fridge to see if they had it 😻 The taste is refreshing and gentle with a rounded sweetness. It is an interesting type of sake that is a little different from other similar sake, even though it is a honjozo. It also has a little bit of lactic acidity. I haven't tried it, but I heard it tastes good on the rocks with a lime on the side. It's a year old, but it's still delicious. I don't have a lime, so I might try it with a slice of lemon 🤔.

The last of the alcoholic beverages bought at the Sake Expo! I opened Hanayuki and wasn't going to open it, but for some reason (not a refrigerator problem), I opened it. It has a powerful and strong flavor, partly because it is 19 degrees Celsius. It's rich, umami, and delicious. It's not very sweet, but it's very different from Senju's hi-iru, which is very interesting. It is very spicy when you drink it again. It's the opposite of "light and dry" dry sake. I think it gets sweeter the longer it's been open.

Purchased at the Sake Expo I've been curious about Hanayuki's unfiltered unpasteurized sake for a while. It has a rich sweetness like a kijoshu. It is like a honey apple, and the second half is a little alcoholic. I drank hi-ire sake before, but I think hi-ire sake was easier to drink. I got the impression that it is not a modern sweet sake, but a classic sweet sake. I had the impression that it was a little sweeter when I tasted it, but the atmosphere in the second half might be a little too much for me. But as the temperature rose, the second half became easier to drink.

A sake brewery near Dogo Onsen. Like Saka and Motomasa, it was purchased at the Sake Expo in Harukas. They were sold out of 4 bottles so I got the Sandesi 😁. Seems like Dogo beer is more famous than sake 🤔. The top aroma is fruity. It has a refreshing yet tropical sweet taste. Sakurahime yeast is a yeast from a flower called Delphinium 🪻.

Purchased at the Sake Expo in Harukas. Like Saka, I heard from Nemuchi that he recommended it beforehand 😁. It's not on the label, but it's a fresh, gassy sake. It is fresh and gassy. It has just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness, not flashy but delicious. Some people may like it better than Yamashiroya. I think it becomes sweeter and more umami when it is a little closer to room temperature than when it is fresh out of the fridge. The quality of sake is quite different from that of Yamashiroya, but I personally prefer Koshinotsuru. I have the impression that Yamashiroya tastes great right out of the bottle, but the taste changes so much that I gradually come to dislike it.

Icoma Sake Shop Honshu Ichiban Tasting (2) Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Doors-sharp- Sake strength +5.5 Sembon-Nishiki, Reiwa No.1 yeast It was already sold out when we visited, so we only tasted it. Calmer and a little more refreshing than the others. Good for eating! Doors-shirocodile- Junmai Ginjyo, white malted rice, straight pumping Sake strength -7.7 Hachitanishiki Hiroshima Ginjo yeast It is not all white malted rice, so it is not sour and easy to drink. I bought this one, too, so I'll check it out later... All 6 were raw sake😍. The staff at the brewery was very friendly and the brewer of Shugetsu came to visit us privately 😊.

Icoma Sake Shop Honshu Ichiban Tasting (1) There were many events and tasting events in many places this week, but I went to my neighborhood liquor store 😁. Honshu Ichi from Hiroshima was there! I drank Junmai Nama-nihonjunshu straight pumping Sake strength +4 Senbon-Nishiki Hiroshima Ginjo yeast Sweet, tasty, fruity, and delicious 😋 It has a Sake meter value of +4 but has almost no spiciness. It tastes as good as the famous pre-sake. Junmai Nakakumi Orikagarami The one pictured behind the Naokumi. The specs are the same as for the nao kumi. It tastes just as sweet as when I bought it and drank it before. Second fermentation in the bottle. They said that the reason why it feels sweet and tasty for its alcohol content is because they use Hiroshima Ginjo yeast. Doors-dry- Junmai Ginjyo Dai-harakuchi Sake strength +9 Hachitan-Nishiki, Hiroshima 2021 yeast J&N-san drank this before 😊. Sake that can be enjoyed by everyone without feeling too high in alcohol content. Not too spicy, but sharp with umami and freshness. It seems that the 2021 yeast is from the No. 9 series. Doors-fresh- Junmai Ginjo-Okirigarami Nama Sake strength -2 Hachitan-Nishiki 1801 yeast Sweet, but more subdued than the first one. They really wanted to do a secondary fermentation in the bottle. I bought this one, so a review will follow...

Sake purchased at the Sake Expo at Kintetsu Department Store Moderately sweet, but overall strong alcohol taste. Complex and a little nutty in the second half. The impression is quite different from that of the tasting, which was sweet and tasty, but I guess that's what it's supposed to be. Like Nemuchi's review, I wonder if it was tasting magic 🤔. I thought it had juicy fruitiness like apples and muscats when I drank it again. But the nuttiness is very strong.

Rigel said it was his best this year, so I was curious and bought it. The top aroma is already fruity. It is a little cloudy. According to the official website, it's an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake, Nakakumi. The rice is Yamadanishiki and Hidahomare. It is a miracle sake that only 0.1% of the visitors to the brewery can have it. I bought it at Yamaya though 🤣. It is gassy and mellow. This kind of sake often has a bitter taste, but this one has no bitterness at all. The label looks like Eva, but the inside is very well made. Delicious! Hourai may be a bit of a fad and have a quirky atmosphere, but their sake is of the highest quality. I'm also getting curious about THE FIRST TAKE that was sold at another liquor store 🤔. I went to the liquor store and THE FIRST TAKE was sold out😭 It's a Jun Dai sake, unpressed and priced around 2,000 yen 💦 so it must be sold out

bouken-san, good evening 🌛I feel that Hourai is expanding its business in various ways 😅Because we live in an era when they will go out of business if they don't think about management 💦In my opinion, there is no shortage of products packed directly from the vats, so when in doubt, I buy according to that standard 🤣.

Hello Nemuchi ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀. Hourai has many labels and phrases that make me want to pick it up, but I realized that the taste is of a high standard as well as the W 👍😁 Hourai, I will pay attention to it in the future 🤔.

Collaboration sake with Morinori Since I bought a bottle of Morinori, I thought I had to buy a bottle of Rairaku, too, so I bought it a few days ago at Ikoma Sake Shop. Compared to Morinori, Rairaku is quite fruity and sweet. It has a cherry-like sweetness. It has a little bit of a sparkling taste. A little cherry-like aroma in the mouth as well. There's also an acerola-like vibe, I think. I like Rairaku better, but if I want to pair it with a meal, I'd go for Morinori 🤔. Junmai Daiginjo is about 1600 yen and tastes like this, so I think it's pretty cost effective. If I were to make a rough comparison between the two crafts, I'd say Morinori is the serious, honor student type, while Rairaku is a bit of a wild, flirtatious guy. I think Rairaku has a slightly different flavor. I think Morinori might be the one that is stable and doesn't fall apart after a few days 🤔.

Collaboration sake with Rairaku. Purchased at Ikoma Sake Shop with Motomine Tsuru. It says it was shipped in March this year, but this is not new sake but the previous year's sake. They say the new craft sake should be arriving soon. The craft sake is the last to be brewed among Morinori's sakes. Slightly gassy and sweet. It is smooth and clean. It has a slight ripeness, but the umami is strong and delicious. It has a minerality or a flavor that is unique to Morinori. It's a jun-dai, but it looks good heated up. I've got the Rairaku version, so I'd like to compare the two 😁.
