Saku Oise Junmai Ginjo A limited edition product made by Sake-no-Ten Morishita. Purchase at Morishita Sake Shop Oharaicho Dori Store. Slightly fruity and sweeter than regular Saku. Slightly dry and sake-like in the second half. Good sharpness and a short aftertaste. Slightly fizzy? Well, the day we went to Ise shrine, the bus driver said it was the busiest day of the year, and the long bus like a train (called "articulated bus" 😅) was packed 😅. I forgot to take a picture, but I heard they also run in Kobe city 🚌. Also, there was a signboard of a sake shop called Hatsujitsu in the entertainment district called Daimon in Tsu. I had never heard of it, but I heard it went out of business in 2021 😢. I searched the street view and found that there is a detached house for sale being built in the area where the warehouse used to be...

bouken-san, good evening 🦉It is quite common for sake breweries to go out of business and sell their land for housing 😔. I remember when I went to surveying to help a colleague, I was sad to see a brick chimney left on a vacant lot 🥲. I'm going to go buy a new one since it's been a while since I've had a chance to buy a new one.

Good morning bouken 🌞. First day 🌄 was the family of a senior employee of my former employer who was a brewery owner. I heard that it was sold to a relative a few years before it closed down. I heard that it was a classic heated sake.

I went to buy it as soon as I saw that Icoma finally got a shipment of Kamaike's raw sake in stock 😁. They don't seem to make a lot of Nama Sake (they fire-brew it right away), so I think I had been asking for Nama Sake for a long time! Nemuchi-san drank it last year 😊. The rice used is Hyogo Sake85 There is lees at the bottom of the bottle, so mix it and drink. It is drier than I expected. It has a bit of a greef-like quality, but also has a cemedine-like quality to it. As Nemuchi-san said, I think it has a lot of character. I think it might be the spiciest Kamaike I've ever had 🤔. I think it might be less spicy if you leave it in the fridge for a little longer than if you take it out of the fridge freshly. I want to drink the Junmai Daiginjo Nama Genjyu that Tomo-san was drinking! I've been able to find a variety of kamiike nama sake at liquor stores in Nishinomiya, but I'd prefer to buy it at a store near me 🤔.

Good morning, bouken🌞. I served this at the meeting and it was highly praised by everyone for its fruity sweet aroma. It is different from bouken's and Nemuchi's 🤔. Is there a lot difference?

Hi Matsuchiyo-san. I think it's the same lot because it came in on the same day as the one at the event and it's a small batch 🤔... Hmmm, is it because I drank it after the fruity liquor or because I mixed the lees?

Nagasaki limited edition sake Yoohee-san bought this for me when he went home for New Year's 🙇. It's a limited edition of a supermarket called Elena. I think it's unusual that all Yokoyama brands have a sake lid type and a screw stopper. There are bubbles in the glass. It's sweet and juicy, but not gassy. It is fire-brewed but fresh and delicious. Fruity and slightly dry. Is it spicier than the regular Yokoyama? I think the Yokoyama Super Spicy is sweeter. I think there is also a draft of this. Yoohee-san drank it before 😊.

Tasted and purchased this one as well. Sweet and tasty without feeling high alcohol content. And a trace of nuttiness. I can't drink a lot of it since it's 20 degrees, but I've never tasted a regular sake with such a good taste 💦. A little like Morinori's Kamisen Unfiltered Nama Sake. This brewery has been making only Kaisen and Kamisen for many years and has been slow to release Junmai.

Hello bouken! Kansai is the most popular sake in my hometown 😁. As you said, we've recently started to offer a new series of ginjo sake called "Gekizaka" and "Katakata" brewed with pesticide-free rice, so if you're interested, please feel free to check them out ✨.

Tasted and purchased at KITTE I drank Kagatsuru at the brewery festival last year, but this is my first time drinking it at home. Slightly effervescent and fresh sake. Aroma is a bit like alcohol disinfectant😅. The moment you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness. Sake that gives the impression of pushing through with freshness in a good sense. Is the acidity impressive?

A sake brewery I didn't know came to Takatsuki Hankyu, so I went for a tasting 😊. Fujii Sake Brewery in Usuki City, Oita Prefecture. They were selling both sake and shochu, so they had shochu on display. They were pushing a lot of amazake though 😁. I drank Ryubai Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki 50% polished rice It's a little floral, but not too much. Basically, it's a quiet sake, so I think it's suitable for a mealtime drink. The bottle was cool because it was so chunky! Ryubai Special Junmai Namaisake Ryubai Nigori Namaishu (Nigori raw sake) Ryubai Junmai sake The color is golden when poured, as it seems to be moderately filtered. It is a classic type of sake. It is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm. I think it is not my favorite cold sake. I bought two types of nama sake, so I will review them later. I don't like nigori with added sugar, but I got a good impression of the sweetness, so I bought this one 😊.

I often see Phantom Taki, but this is my first time drinking it at home. It was fresh and refreshing, yet deliciously fruity. I imagined it to be lighter than I expected, but it was delicious with a stronger umami than I expected. It's like a dry apple. It's a bit spicy when you drink it again.

It says "ginjo" but the rice polishing ratio is 50%, daiginjo specs. It's a little refreshing, but sweet and quite fruity. I bought it without tasting it because I was satisfied with the freshly squeezed raw sake, but I'm glad it was better than I expected 😋. The second half of the bottle is quite alcoholic 🤔. The aroma on the nose is like a pineapple! After visiting Ise Jingu Shrine and Okage Yokocho, I wanted to take the rapid Mie train, so I changed to the JR line at Ise-shi, but I had to go out of the ticket gate and buy another ticket because the IC card is not supported even though the ticket gates are the same 💦. The announcement said that this is not a Kintetsu line and IC cards are not accepted 🤔.

I was told that after Haikusei Basho, a sample of Buntaro's new sake had arrived, so I was allowed to drink it! New brewery established in Shinsen-cho in 2019. It looks like the Nagao Sake Brewery in Kyotango City was relocated and renamed. I wonder if it's related to the license? At the beginning, there were two elderly toji's brewing the sake, but this was for technical guidance and now the president's son is the toji. They are not a member of any brewing associations and rarely appear at events😅. Amazake seems to be the main product, and local housewives visit the brewery with their own containers. They are offering a service of amazake subs 😁. The first bottle was Junmai Nama Sake. It didn't have much sweetness, but I thought it tasted better than the junmai ginjo nama-zake I had last year. No label on the back, so specs are unknown. The second bottle was Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake. I've bought a Sandeshi with the same label in the past, but to be honest, it was a little too subtle... This one was delicious, with some sake-like characteristics, but with a fruity ginjo aroma coming in later 😋. It's definitely better than the ones I've had in the past, so I guess they're getting better every year. Buntaro is another one to keep an eye on 🤔.

Then two kinds of Echizen cape First, a Nakadori Harazake, which looks delicious just by its name! The moment I drank it, I said "Yum! 🤣 It's not sweet, but it's fruity and has a strong umami flavor. It's not sweet, but it's fruity and has a strong umami taste, and it was really delicious 😋. I think it was my favorite of all the sakes we were allowed to drink that day! Next up was the first tank. It was freshly pressed. It was just as delicious and full of umami as the ones we have had in the past! The Nakadori sake was a little more modern, but this one was a little more robust. I heard that they tasted many different types of sake at the brewery, and they all raved about how good it was 😊.

Kubota Brewery used to be a subcontractor for a major brewer in Nada. The rice used is Fukui Yamadanishiki grown in-house. All of the breweries here seem to use Yamadanishiki grown in-house. The image on the label made me think of a classic dry sake, but I got the impression that it was slightly spicy with a touch of sweetness and more floral than I expected. He said the brewery was very clean and beautiful.

I had the opportunity to try a variety of sake purchased by Icoma Sake Shop during their visit to the brewery😊. Sake from Hashimoto Sake Brewery in Iga City. The brewery is relatively close to the station, a 15 minute walk from the station. Well, there is only one train every hour😅. I couldn't buy this sake when I was in Mie the other day 🙄. This brewery seems to prefer using 1501 yeast (Akita-style flower yeast). The rice is Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku. It doesn't have much of a ginjo-shu feel to it, and I wonder if it's aged a bit. It seems to show its strength when heated up. It is definitely easier to drink than the Anno Honor we had the other day.

When I went to an antenna store, there was a corner with only 3㌥ sake. I went to an antenna shop and found a corner with only 3㌥ unpasteurized sake. I chose the San Shoraku sake that I had wanted to try for a long time 😁. I have an image of San Shoraku as a Yamahai sake, but this one seems different 🤔. It doesn't say, but according to the website of the liquor store that sells it, it seems to use No. 7 yeast. It is slightly effervescent with impressive acidity and strong umami. It tastes just like I imagined, but I was surprised that it has a gaseous taste 😳. As the days go by, the sweetness diminishes and the acidity becomes stronger.

⤴️🐎 Totally new to this brand. Purchased at Aeon. It's a little spicy with a hint of sweetness coming in at different times. It looks classic but is easy to drink with low alcohol content. There are moments when you feel a little bit of alcohol. The name is derived from the ritual of raising a horse, but considering the current situation, it seems to have a strong influence 🤔.

Okaged Yokocho? OHARAIMACHI? It was purchased at a liquor store in OHARAI-YOKOCHO. It seems to be a PB of that store. It has a freshness, and the balance of sweet and spicy is very good. The impression is that the sake is still young. I wonder if it's better to let it sit 🤔. I'm going to drink it as it is... I bought it and saw a review of this store and it was full of stars 😅.

I found it by chance at Matsubishi, a department store in Tsu, and bought it, but it seems to be mostly for local consumption and basically not available outside the brewery. Matsushima Sake Brewery is located in a very remote part of Tsu city, and you can't get there without a car. I searched and found that they don't have an official website, but they do have an Instagram and TikTok account😅. I was surprised to read that there is no staff at the sake counter and they are out of their seats so you have to ask someone at the other counter 😳. I wonder if local department stores are like this? The sake counter also had the name of Hashimoto Sake Brewery, which brews Basho in Iga City, but they didn't have it in stock💦. I've been curious about Basho, so I wanted to try it... Aroma of bran and grain type. Sweet but classic taste. Not bad as a cold sake, but I think it's better as a warmed sake. The top aroma is somewhat unique, or perhaps... There are 4 brands registered here at the brewery, but only one checks in...

Purchased at a New Year's Eve tasting at Icoma Sake Shop. It is slightly fruity and sweet, but the acidity is impressive. I felt I could taste the flavor better when it was closer to room temperature than when it was cold. The fourth one is a cracker made by the Full Moon Pon company that I purchased at Dairy and Yeast. They sold fennel and rosemary, so I chose the fennel. The fennel is kneaded into the dough of the full moon pon. The taste is like unbaked bread, making the most of the ingredients. I think the fennel aroma is so strong that some drinks will defeat the taste 🤔. I think it would go well with darker and more flavorful drinks. I mean, only Kansai people know what "mangetsu pon" means😅. A few days after opening it, it tastes like apricots like Yoohee said before!
