Sake made with cherry blossom yeast. I bought it because I like flower yeast. It is refreshing and has a trace of sweetness. A little floral, probably because of the floral yeast. I thought it needed a little more umami. When I tasted another product at an antenna store before, I felt Fuku Chitose was a bit lacking, so maybe it's not a good match?

I thought I'd try a sake from Tohoku, so here it is today. It is made from an original sake brewing rice called "Shin Toyokuni". I wonder if they named it Shin Toyokuni after a fantastic rice called Toyokuni, which is only used by Chiyotoshi in Yamagata, and grown in Fukushima. Kind of like Kenaiyama 🤔. Slightly effervescent with a hint of orikara or light nigori. It has a sweet aroma and the moment you drink it, it's sweet but instantly comes with a unique flavor and bitterness. As it says on the back, it may be the one and only 🤔. Not only the bitterness, but also the cemedine and chemical taste may not be my favorite type. If you drink only the supernatant, the bitterness is lessened and the sweetness increases.

Hello Pon-chan ☀☀☀☀. This week, I saw a lot of programs introducing the disaster areas of Noto and Ofunato, and I thought I had some in the fridge... so I opened a bottle 🤗. I hope that as many breweries as possible will be able to support the victims of the Great Hanshin Earthquake because there were many breweries that closed down due to the lack of support.

It's 3/9, the day of the crop, and I don't have it on hand... I should have left the one I bought in Mie😅. I bought it in Wakayama about 6 years ago. Ozaki Sake Brewery had never been out of Wakayama prefecture, but a liquor store in Osaka started doing business with them, so I went to buy some. According to the liquor store, they had already been getting it through a wholesaler before. It seems they use a yeast found in the soil of Kumano Kodo. I like that it has a serial number 😁. Sweet and sour, with a touch of Yamahai in the second half, but the last half is very dry! I'm a little concerned about some off-flavor nuances... A few hours after opening the bottle, it started to get a little smoky 🤔. After about a week, the off-flavoriness and the smokiness are gone and it tastes better.

I bought it because it was the first time I'd seen it in Kifeng Tsuru and it looked rare. It seems that only Takashimaya in Namba and Ikoma have it in stock in the Kansai area. It's fire-brewed, but it's very tasty with a slight sparkle and a refreshing sweetness that's not too sweet. I thought this time that I like smooth nigori better than thick nigori 🤔. The nigorigo is fine and silky! When the temperature reaches room temperature, you can feel the spiciness.

The second bottle of Ten Asahi Days is "Gohyakumangoku no Namahyashiroshi". The color is very dark because it is 28BY😅 The aroma is more subdued than Kagamiso, but when you drink it, it has a strong sense of maturity 🤣. It tastes like I left a bottle of sake I was about to drink in the shed at home and let it mature 😅. I think I drank this at a Shimane sake event 🤔I think I drank it heated at the time. I thought it tasted like Nada Nama Nama Ippon from Kenrishi. I didn't take a picture of it, but I was allowed to try 4 new Honshu Ichi sake and bought a bottle of one of them!

This is another Ten Rising Sun purchased at the brewery. They didn't have enough time for tasting and purchasing because of the shortened time they could stay at the brewery. This one is also a bit old and matured. Maybe 30BY The top aroma is quite mature😅. But when you drink it, it is easy to drink. But it is easy to drink, but not too much like a yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. Well, I think it is unique... I didn't drink this one, but it was on the line at a Shimane sake event I went to 2 years ago. You can see a bit of it in the picture I posted.

Next to Kaiharu, your first Horaizuru Have you ever had this? I thought it was Houraizumi at first 😅. At first I thought it was Houraizumi😅 It seems to be brewed in the basement of an apartment building in Hiroshima city. It's like Nippon Izumi from Gifu. This one was purchased at Yamada Sake Brewery in Edion, Hiroshima. Sake Sho Yamada seems to have a lot of famous brands on display, but this store also seems to have a local sake corner! The liquor department at EDION Namba is also owned by Yamada Sake Brewery, but it's bigger than the one in front of Osaka Sake Brewery. Maybe because of the upcoming Expo 🤔. There are breweries that brew in apartments, like Kamizo and Yuki no Bijin, but they are not underground. Are there other underground breweries? The aroma is promising, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. But when you drink it, it has no taste. Thin...

Next is Kaiharu's Namahashiroshi, Fire-ignited raw sake Yamaguchi is the name of the master brewer. It is written on the label in large letters, and the name is pushed to the forefront. It is a 1BY sake, so it must have been aged for about 6 years, but there is no sense of maturity and it tastes beautiful! I thought it would be more suited for warming sake, but it's also quite tasty cold. I got the impression that it's a proper and delicious sake.

Honshu's best has arrived 😊 to Icoma-san. I was able to drink the sake I purchased on my recent trip to Shimane and Hiroshima! Sake purchased at Wakabayashi Sake Brewery in Kaiharu. It looks like a quaint building that I would love to visit 😌. I had an image of Kaiharu as a strong and peculiar sake, but this one has a fruity and modern quality. I couldn't believe it was a +7 sake, but it had a sweetness to it that I really enjoyed 😋. According to the internet, it's a local limited edition, unfiltered unpasteurized sake! I thought it was unusual that they used Tsuyahime even though it's not from Yamagata!

I had a good impression of this sake after drinking it at a Gifu sake event last year. Purchased at Takimoto where Nemuchi and I stopped by after the tasting at Okayama-san. Slightly effervescent and fresh. Pineapple-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. The acidity towards the end is nice 😋. It is a sweet and fruity type of wine, but it is not heavy, so it can be enjoyed by everyone.

I am not a citizen of Nishinomiya, but I was attracted by the Miyatan label. They said it was limited to 3,000 bottles. There is no notice in a conspicuous place, but it says "Nama-shu" in small letters. It does not say that it needs to be refrigerated, so I assume it is a type of sake that can be sold at room temperature. It has a fruity and mild taste. It is quite sweet. The caproic acidity is a little strong, but considering the price (about 1,400 yen for a pure large bottle), I think it's a good choice. By the way, the Junmai Ginjo of the same Nishinomiya City 100th Anniversary is brewed by hand in a small brewing facility and costs 4,400 yen more than the Jun Dai 😳 Kochira is limited to 300 bottles.

There was a Yamaguchi Prefecture antenna store open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station, and I bought some sake from the Yachiyo Sake Brewery that I had never seen before. I've seen Laplace Yachiyo and others on SNS, but I've never had a chance to meet them if I live in the Kansai region. The KABA label probably comes from the brewer's surname, Kaba-san? It has a sour taste like pickled plums. It is quite unique. It is like a more reserved version of Mai-bijin. It has a moderate sweetness and is not as spicy as the other day's Chikuma-Nishiki, but it is easier to drink than the other day's Chikuma-Nishiki. The aftertaste, or rather the lingering aftertaste, is quite ale-like. It also smells a little like pickles. I think it's just a little bit peculiar 😁.

Purchased during a tasting by Okayama Manzaku Jun Dai Aaiyama ♫ Mansaku Namaden Aiyama ♫ 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Slightly gassy, rich and pleasantly gorgeous ginjo aroma. It is sweet and juicy with a slightly refreshing mouthfeel, but the lingering aftertaste is a bit long. It is better to drink it by itself than with food to fully appreciate its sweetness. I think the bitterness and pungency come out more strongly during a meal.

Purchased from Coop catalog. Silky mouthfeel. A little fruity, but drier than I expected and a little too much for me personally... 😥. My mother, who loves nigori sake, also said she doesn't like it, so it doesn't look like it will decrease at all 😭 I guess it was worth the price since it was less than 1000 yen 🤔.

Maru-san was drinking Yuyamanishiki, so I thought, yes, let's drink Kibotsuru! So I opened the bottle 😁. I bought it at Ikoma Sake Shop. There was a small amount of air bubbles in the glass. Fresh, sweet and tasty, but a little bitter in the second half, which is a nice accent. Bitter, but the lingering sweetness gives the impression of being long-lasting. The one I had in the past was a bit twitchy, so it was nice to have it in good condition.

Sake purchased with Nemuchi at Ya●ya in Karasuma Oike after the tasting by Okayama-san I think it's been 5-6 years since I drank Ootsuru 🤔. Well, I haven't had Tanzan or Choro in the area near Ootsuru for a long time 🤔. Well, I don't mind it 🙄. Retro label and 900ml bottle. Aroma and sweetness like golden sugar candy. Tangy alcohol. It's a little refreshing, so I wonder if it's watered down. It's a good thing, but I would like to have more flavor. After about a week, the sourness started to come out. I think Ootsuru is now making sake in Miyama, Nantan City, but the address is still Kameoka. I wonder if they only bottle in Kameoka. I think they have to write that the manufacturer is in Kameoka City and the production place is in Nantan City (or shorten the company name with +A or the location with a symbol), but there are no penalties or anything like that.

Sake with a lot of yeast appeal. I think it's rare to find a sake other than CEL yeast 🤔. It's 1801 yeast, so it's fruity and has a sweet aroma, but it's spicier than I thought it would be. I wish there would be more raw sake like this that can be easily bought at supermarkets. I get the impression that it's pretty sweet when the temperature rises.

Purchased when I went to a tasting in Okayama It's dated April 24 and has been sitting in the store for quite a while, but according to the liquor store's social media when it arrived, it was originally aged for 3 years😅. The official website says that they want to continue to make a robust sake with great flavor even for only 2 out of 10 customers 😳. I guess their stance is that they don't need to be popular with everyone, but I wonder if that's okay from a business standpoint 🙄. It has a yellowish color. The top nose and the hint of aroma have a sense of maturity. It feels light, but the ripeness makes it feel heavier. There are orange and citrus flavors too 🍊. It has a strong sense of maturity, but when you open it, you can feel it's fresh, which is unusual. I don't know what freshness is 🤣. I'm curious to see what it tastes like when it's fresh. I don't find it too pungent, so if it's fresh, I might like it a lot 🤔. I know it's Nagano sake but I think it's a little different from what people imagine Nagano sake to be. I think it's similar to Reijin or Enki. If you put some aging on it, it might be a little bit similar 🤔. I don't know...

February Tasting Extravaganza #2 at Icoma Sake Shop The last one is Boshimaya, which just arrived 2025 Limited Nigori Sake It looks like a nigori version of the regular junmai unfiltered raw sake! It's a little bubbly with a slight effervescence. It tastes sweeter than the standard one, but it has a taste typical of Boshimaya. I was interested in Kihotsuru Omachi and Buntaro, but this time I bought Morinori Technique, which seemed to sell out early, and Kihotsuru Haba-Nigori, which I couldn't find anywhere else.
