#Japanese sake #Noda city We went to Noda City to welcome the kitten. Since it was a great opportunity, I looked for a sake brewery and found one, Kubota Shuzo. I didn't know about it. The kanji is different from the usual Kubota Shuzo. I looked for a sake shop, but I couldn't find one in Noda that cared about sake. Finally, I found a shop that carries Kubota's sake, and stopped by to buy some. I wasn't sure if I should go for the representative brand, Katsushika, but after seeing the date of production, I decided. It was a little warm in the shop, and I was a little worried because it wasn't in the refrigerator. I opened the bottle and checked the aroma. Mmm! There is a hint of Hinekomi behind the sour aroma. When I put it in my mouth, it didn't give me an irritating feeling in the back of my throat, so I was just about safe. The taste is quite good. It's crisp with umami and sourness. The recommendation on the back of the bottle has a double circle for "chilled" and circles for "on the rocks" and "at room temperature," but personally, I'd drink it warm. When it's warmed and cooled to about human skin temperature, the hiney smell disappears and the flavor deepens. 2/5 stars, but I drank a little too much. I wanted to drink it when it was well preserved. I would have given it 3 stars if it didn't have the hiney smell.

#Japanese Sake #Gifu #Hida City Not the usual Daiyako Shuzo, but Horai from Watanabe Shuzo in Gifu. It's a ginjo-shu, but it's so fragrant you'd think it was a daiginjo. Behind the pear aroma, there is a jasmine-like aroma and a kumquatse-like aroma. Is it the aroma of the wooden vat? However, it is not a strong smell like a barrel sake, so it is not unpleasant. Because of the high aroma, it seems to be rich, but the taste alone is smooth and clean, with a good crispness. It is not sweet, but it has a sweet taste. It would be better to match it with western food which smells like cheese or smoked food than Japanese food which enjoys delicate smell. 3/5 stars.

#Japanese Sake #Nagano Prefecture #Ina City The Corona disaster has cast a shadow on liquor stores as well. This time, I bought some sake from a liquor store that carries some rare local sake that you don't often see elsewhere. It's a store that you'd expect to see if you're a fanatic in the Sagamihara area, but other than the sake from Kanagawa, most of the sake was from the 2020 spring breweries. Of course, the store is carefully darkened and unheated, and the preservation conditions are perfect, so there is no problem, but I wonder if this is the situation even in popular liquor stores. Maybe they're letting it age in the store on purpose. Now, as for the sake, the aroma was faintly banana. It doesn't go as far as a banana smell or a semedyne smell, but it's pleasant. The description says it has a strong sourness, but it's not that strong, and it's a little light. The taste is hidden in it. I paired it with eel, so I think it should be a little more robust. It seems to go well with elegant Japanese food. 3/5 stars.

#Japanese Sake #Tochigi #Mashiko Town This is the second one. But this one was first. It comes with a cosmetic box. It is lighter than Yamahai Junmai. It's a drinkable sake. Personally, I think I like the Yamahai better. 2/5 stars. It's not bad.

#Japanese Sake #Tochigi #Mashiko Town This is another one I forgot to upload in the past. I thought I'd drunk a lot of Tochigi sake, but this is my first time drinking Brilliant. It's a sake from Mashiko, a town of pottery. I'd like to use a Mashiko-yaki sake cup, but I don't have one. Maybe I'll buy one at a pottery market next time. This is one that my mother-in-law bought for me. The label says it's been aged for a year. It is Yamahai, but the acidity is not so strong. It seems to be good for people who don't like Yamahai. 3/5 stars.

#Japanese-style Sake #Akita #Yuki no Kayasha I drank this in the past and forgot about it. I've been drinking a lot of sake, but this might be my first time to try Yukino Kayasha. The aroma is soft. The taste is also soft. It's easy to drink. A lot of supermarkets carry it, so it's good for when you're on the go and need something to drink. 3/5 stars.

#Japanese sake #Aikawa town #Shoryuhorai I usually go for Zanko, but it's been a while since I've had Shoryu Horai. I don't see it at many sake shops, but it's sold at a convenience store in Tashiro. It's a 1 year old R1BY. The umami and sourness came with a bang, and it's good. It has a salty aftertaste, so some people may need to have some mellow water. But for me, who likes a strong taste, this is the perfect sake. 4/5 stars.

#Japanese Sake #Kanagawa #Chigasaki #Shonan The main brand name of Kumazawa Shuzo is Tenseo. The sake is light and easy to drink, but I don't really like light sake, so I haven't had any recently, but on my way home from a walk I saw a bottle of sake labeled "Shonan" at a convenience store, so I bought it. It smells a little like alcohol, but has a ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it is very light. It's not too stimulating, so it's good for people who are not used to drinking sake. Personally, I give it 2/5 stars. It's not my favorite rich sake, so I give it less stars, but it's not bad.

#Japanese sake #Sagamihara #Tsukui The first sake of the year is Sagamitanada in the neighboring town. New unfiltered raw sake. Sagaminada's raw sake is a treat this time of year. It is hard to get raw, so I bought it at the brewery. Sweetness and deliciousness. The aftertaste is faintly tangy. On the second day, we drank Matsumidori and compared. Because Matsumidori is light, Sagamitanada, which is refreshing, seems to be darker. 4/5 stars.

#Japanese sake #Matsudacho Despite being in Kanagawa, there are still many local Kanagawa sakes that I have yet to try. This year's closing sake is one such untapped local brew, Matsumidori. Not many liquor stores carry it, so I rarely see it, but I found it at a liquor store in Isehara. It is a new sake of Junmai Ginjo. The aroma is mild. It's rather light. It has a slight sweetness in the aftertaste. It's not the kind of sake I usually drink, but it's good. 3/5 stars.

#Japanese sake #Mie Prefecture #Iga City Rumiko's sake after a long time. I struggled for about five minutes to open and close the bottle without it erupting. Thanks to the carbonation, the muddiness is stirred up and it feels good. A sip. Refreshing! It's like carbonated Calpis with a little less sweetness. It's thicker than Calpis soda. But it's refreshing. The moderate acidity is good. 4/5 stars.

#Japanese Sake #Miyagi Tenjo Yume Gen I bought this on the way back from fishing off Enoshima. It was my first time to visit a liquor store in Fujisawa. There were some brands that I don't see very often, but I decided to go with a Miyagi sake, which is rarely missed. It's been a month since I drank it, but I've forgotten my impression of it... I was so shocked that I couldn't catch two leatherback sea breams.

#Japanese Sake #Izumibashi #Ebina This may be the first time I've had freshly squeezed Izumibashi sake. I think the one I drank before was much lighter, but this is a very rich sake. It has a little bit of acidity. The sourness lingers a little. And it goes away quickly. 3/5 stars. almost 4.

#Japanese Sake #Zanso Horai #New Sake I've been absent from uploading for a while, but I'm finally back. But finally, I will update the past ones as well. Well, we've been looking forward to the Horai freshly squeezed sake. Since it's made by living things, the taste is a little different every year, but this year's is... And strike! It has a mild aroma and a rich flavor. It's got a sour taste and it's got a kick! It's hard to recommend it to people who don't usually drink sake, but it's a great drink for those who love it. It's not easy to recommend to people who don't usually drink sake, but it is a great sake for sake lovers. If you leave it in the fridge for a week after opening it, it becomes more mellow, but it is very rich. This year I gave it 5/5 stars. I bought it at a convenience store in Aikawa-cho. You can find it in most convenience stores in Aikawa, so you can buy it even when the liquor store is closed.

#Nanbu Bijin On the way home from fishing, I bought some sake at the supermarket. The sake section of a typical supermarket only carried sake from a brewery with a large amount of brewing capacity that operates nationwide, so I wasn't sure for a while what to do with it, but I like sake from Iwate, so I put the Nanbu Bijin in my basket. The brand that was chosen as the champion salmon in the 2017 International Wine Challenge, I guess? The aroma is high for a pure rice sake. It has a light aroma for a southern brew. It is easy to drink for everyone. But the body of the sake could be stronger. I give it 3/5 stars.

#Japanese Sake #Takasago This is a limited edition brewed by the brewery. It was released in March, but it was stored properly in the liquor store's refrigerator, so I didn't feel any deterioration. The aroma is a little sweet. In the mouth, you get a sense of substance that is typical of Sanpai. There is a piquant spiciness to it. There was also a good acidity. As the label says, it is a delicious and spicy sake. 3/5 stars.

#Mizunoe #Japanese Sake #Miyagi Prefecture Purchased at a liquor store in Hakone-guchi, brewed in February. It's pure rice, but it has a rich aroma. The sweet, refreshing aroma is soothing at first. It's a little spicy in the mouth. It has a nice flavor but it's crisp and easy to drink. I have drunk a lot of Miyagi Sake, but many of them do not leave a lasting impression like this. It was delicious. 3/5 stars.
