Kido (read "kikido"?) in Wakayama, which can be seen in restaurants every now and then. It is a very popular place to eat and drink. I happened to be able to get a bottle, so hooray for daiginjo! A beautiful sake of victory every night! It tastes sweet and fragrant because it is a daiginjo. I can't quite put my finger on it, perhaps because of the "earth" in the name, but my impression is that it accentuates the nastiness that I often find in local sake. (Not the kind of taste that is easy to understand, but different from miscellaneous tastes.) I guess that is what I mean when I say it is light and dry. I learned a lot about the taste of Kishu. I wonder if it is a taste of the Kansai region in its lineage.

An encounter that can only be described as completely coincidental. An encounter with sake. I was in Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, on business. I wanted to take some pictures and happened to wander into an alleyway where I found a sake brewery! A sake brewery right in front of me! In the office in the front, fresh office workers were coming and going, and I could see sake bottles through the window, so I had a feeling that they might be selling sake directly. Without a word of hesitation, we rushed in and bought a bottle of Narumi, while making a list of requests. I had just had a glass of Kubota and was in the "I love sake! I was in a happy coincidence because I had just had a glass of Kubota and was in a "I love Nama-sake after all! The brewer said, "It fizzes a lot, so be careful when you open the bottle! I was surprised when I drank it. I was surprised when I drank it and wondered if it was champagne or sparkling wine. It reminded me of Nagasaki's Hiran. Bubbles are also a taste, a character. Fruity and refreshing, it is very refreshing and I would like to drink it in midsummer. It is not too sweet and has a crispness like a fine soda. I can see why a sake brewed by the seaside would be loved more if it were refreshing. Regrettably, we stored it horizontally, so about 100ml leaked out in one night and was given to the refrigerator. It was the same with Hiran. It was a good sake experience.

Kubota again? I know you might say, "Kubota again? I know, right? The taste was as expected, with the freshness and refreshing sweetness of nama-shu embodied in the usual Kubota Senju. Nama-shu requires refrigeration, which is a bit of a hassle, but considering its cost performance, I always like to drink nama-shu. I wish there was a liquor store with a large refrigerator within walking distance!

Just kidding daiginjo series. Maybe it's time to end this. I don't know why I like Beruna Gourmet's sake so much, but it's just so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so.... What do you mean by "normally delicious"? What's the point of adding the word "normal"? It's just so delicious that it makes me want to bend my beliefs.

I went camping in Tochigi and bought this locally to accompany me at night. It had a refreshing taste and sharpness, probably because it had just been released from the brewery, and it added a pleasant color to the cool evening. I regret that I only have a rough impression and impression of the sake because I tasted it in an unusual setting. My research revealed that Tochigi Prefecture has a lot of local sake, and if I have the chance, I would like to compare many different kinds of sake.

Daiginjo series with brewing alcohol. It tastes good enough for a dinner drink, but for some reason, they all taste the same. It is very satisfying and cosy, but I don't think I will repeat it.

Daiginjo even though it contains brewing alcohol. Polishing ratio 50%. I got this because I thought I had a connection with Nagaragawa. It was a little bit different from a Daiginjo, but it was tastier than the ones we usually drink. On the other hand, it was not very impressive, so it is hard to talk about it. The only thing that remains in my memory is that it had a richer, richer flavor of rice than I had imagined.

I thought Otokoyama was a Hokkaido sake, but to my surprise, it originated in Itami. Although the legitimacy of Otokoyama was later passed down to Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there are actually Otokoyama brands all over eastern Japan (indeed, in every prefecture). In fact, there are Otokoyama brands in various parts of eastern Japan (really, in each prefecture), which is an interesting history. The one I have on hand is Nechi-Otokoyama from Uonuma, Niigata. I don't know what I should learn, but I drank it. It is a very typical Niigata rice sake with a full flavor. It is a big tasting sake, easy to refill, and suitable for evening drinks. It is as good as water because it does not stink at the end of drinking. We look forward to the next encounter with Otokoyama. Haneda ↔︎ is surprisingly close to Shin-Chitose.

A little luxury study series. I bought several bottles as gifts for acquaintances. When I was asked what I thought of them, I thought it would be tactful to say, "I haven't drunk them myself. I came up with the convenient excuse that it would be tactless to say, "I haven't drunk it myself," and gave it as a gift to myself. It is slightly effervescent. Although the fruity flavor I had hoped for was somewhat subdued, I could taste the flavor, weight, and aftertaste of a high-class sake, or a sake of style. I can't verbalize it well, but my tongue and taste buds are too poor to analyze it even though it tastes kind of good. Like drinking it after offering it to a Shinto altar. There is almost no sake or alcohol smell, and it seems to go well with Japanese food. When I drink it after all this lifting, it is called guzzling. May we have a chance to meet again...

My wife drank it at a party and said it was very tasty, so I was curious to know how it differed from regular Kenrishi. My wife wanted to drink it again, so I bought it. It tastes richer than regular Kembishi, and has a mellowness and thickening (atmosphere) like brown sugar, honey, or brandy. Kenrishi itself has a long history, so it is a sake with a flavor that is focused on aging, and Gokujo Kuromatsu Kenrishi is a sake with a long history that is deeply rooted in the flavor that people loved in the past. To put it another way, it is a good old traditional taste, so I don't think it will be popular in the modern age, but I can easily imagine that it has a strong fan base. I can imagine that there must be a strong fan base for this. But I respect it.

I'm sure there are a few of you out there who know it, Snow Kayasha. Forgive me, I'm ashamed I couldn't read "Bosha" and said "Mesha" or something like that. Well, the first time I drank it at a restaurant, I was impressed. Every time I went there, the first thing I did was to go to Snowy Kayasha. The taste is fruity and full throttle, and those who like Ginjo Daiginjo will surely be attracted to it, and it has the fruitiness that is required of high grade sake. It is an honor student of ginjo-shu and is like a classmate. If only I could enjoy that taste at home! I got it this time, and it is a luxury that motivates me to look forward to coming home every night. I poured 1.2 times the usual amount and finished it in no time. I have already placed an order for more so that I can share it with the people I always go to the restaurant with. I also ordered a refill for myself.

Relief as usual. Perhaps because I'm used to drinking it, the nightly aridness has decreased somewhat. I wondered if the flavor varies from bottle to bottle, but this one tasted a little better than usual. The description may seem contradictory, but that's how I feel. I wonder when I will be able to drink it again, as I will be plunging into the study of various sakes for a while again.

I am very interested in the mass production site, taste uniformity and management of mass-produced liquors. This quality at this price is truly worthy of being a classic. However, I wonder if the fact that the taste is obvious (my body remembers it) before I drink it is a sign that I have drunk too much. The transparent bottle is more attractive.

I think this transparent bottle of Kubota is exceptionally delicious! The first time I drank it, I was very impressed with its fruity aroma, its drinkability as a sake, and the rich flavor of the rice. Refreshing and refreshing. So this is the second bottle I have longed for, and it too offers a sake experience that does not disappoint. I will finish it in no time, but I want to drink it again. Come again.

Green River. It seems to be rather famous. I didn't know it was from Uonuma until I got it. I started with the sake! The cost performance is great. However, if you want to go with "that famous" sake, I think you should start with a ginjo or so to avoid disappointment. This is a regular sake, so I wasn't impressed in that sense. →It tastes like a regular Niigata sake. The flavor is a bit light.

As a resident of Chiba Prefecture, I was curious about this Chiba sake! The signboard of a nearby yakitori restaurant was co-sponsored by Ume Ichirin, and although I had been aware of this sake for a long time, I had never had a chance to meet it due to distribution reasons! The sake I got this time is a limited brand of Ume-Ichirin's distributor, and is called "Dancing" Odori. It is a daiginjo, but it contains brewer's alcohol, so it has a technical feel to it. The taste is light. The mouthfeel, the aroma, the throat, and the aftertaste were all very refreshing. It was smooth and refreshing, with a faint scent of a single plum blossom before fading away. It was the first step for me to try Chiba Prefecture's sake.

I remember that the Kubota series, the one in the clear bottle was very tasty, and I wanted to see where this green bottle (but named Beniju) that I drank this time stood. I just wanted to drink it with the intention of learning. The taste is unexpectedly light, with a clean aroma and a rather dry taste. I thought it was positioned a little differently from the Kubota series (more dry). It was pleasant enough to drink, but not light. Asahi Shuzo is a big company.

This is the second in a series of ordered alcoholic beverages. I drank it to study it, as it is another brand of Kubiki Shuzo from the Koshiji-no-Kenbai series. What a surprise! This is delicious! It is very tasty. It is the cheapest grade in the Kubiki series, but it was extremely refreshing, with a nice aroma and a smooth taste. I brought it with me on a camping trip and drank it all by myself within a few hours. I'll have to repeat this. I'll have to buy a bottle. If I can get to Niigata, that is.

I ordered some alcohol to thank friends and acquaintances, but bought some for myself to dilute the shipping costs. First up was a Junmai sake from Koshiji-no-Kenbai. The label made it look really delicious. The day I opened the bottle, it was slightly fizzy and aromatic with a very fine taste. Like a sweet champagne. On the second day, it calmed down and tasted a bit better than the sake I usually drink. I enjoyed it at a level that was a little tastier than the sake I usually drink. (richer than the usual sake grade).

I was skeptical when I got this unfamiliar, crackpot-like sake, but it turned out to be decent. I had my suspicions, but it turned out to be decent. It tasted like a typical Niigata sake, in the style of Yukinubai, Koshijino Benibai, Kubota, and Hakkaisan. No special characteristics, but the basics are done (from the top). It was relatively easy to drink, so it was just right for daily evening drinks.
