This is also the anniversary special menu Tetorigawa. Hiyoroshi (shipped in October 2000) and Arabashiri (shipped in March 2001). I would like to start with the hiyaoroshi, but thanks to the passage of almost 25 years, both hiyaoroshi and arabashiri have matured so much that my stupid tongue could not tell the difference 😂. Anyway, I had it cold 🍶😅. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of maturity. It's a fully matured hiyaoroshi & arabashiri with a slight caramel flavor on the palate. It's all over the place with a great flavor 😊. It was delicious 🍶✨️

This is also the H16BY (2004) Yamasan Masamune from the anniversary menu 🍶. It was served cold. The nose has a slightly caramelized mature aroma. It has a slight matured taste on the palate, but you can catch a glimpse of the daiginjo-style of a solid brewery. It's 20 years old, but if you usually drink robust type of sake, it may be just right. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

This is Tasake's special pure yamahai brew, shipped in January 1994 🍶. Special menu for the anniversary celebration of the owner's restaurant that I sometimes visit😊. In 1994...I was still a minor 😌. It was served cold. The top aroma is sweet with a hint of maturity. It has a ripe, lightly caramelized aroma on the palate, but it's so beautiful that it doesn't feel 30 years old. It is hard to explain in words, but I felt the greatness of Tasake. It was a very precious and delicious sake 🍶✨️

The last sake I bought as a souvenir from Aizu was a fire-brewed bottle of Aizu Chusho Fukunohana🍶. I wanted to get the Watanabe Sota Shoten's limited edition nama-shu, but the four-pack was sold out a while ago, so I decided to buy the fire-brewed version. The top aroma is soft and sweet like melon🍈. On the first day, it was melon-like but a bit hard overall, but by the second day it was completely melon🍈melon🍈😊. A sweet melon🍈 that is very drinkable on the palate. If it was this good in fire-roasted, I'm sure it would have been good in nama-zake too 🤔I think I'll mail order nama-zake next year. It was delicious🍶✨️ The third picture is of the Tsurunoe Sake Brewery, about a 5 minute walk from where we were staying. Unfortunately, Yuri was not there.

It is Aizu's souvenir of Aizu. I bought a bottle of last year's sake, as it seems that the new sake will be available a little later. The first aroma is a sweet aroma of rice with a slight sense of maturity. In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness of rice with a hint of acidity. It is refreshing, juicy, sweet and delicious, but the overt aroma is also a bit mature 🤔. I would have given it 100 points if this was not the case. Oh well, but it was delicious 😉 🍶.

This is a peach label drinking comparison of Aizu souvenirs. First, let's start with the transparent bottle on the left. The top aroma is a sweet aroma of rice. The top clear aroma was sweet with a hint of rice. The first sip has a juicy sweetness with a hint of acidity and nigori. The bitter taste is not noticeable when it is mixed, but it is balanced out. When mixed, the bitterness doesn't bother me, it's well-balanced and delicious 😊. On the second day, it became fruity and I finished the four-pack in two days, which is unusual for me. (I usually drink only about 1 gou at home) Then the top of the tea bottle. The top aroma is fruity. When you put it in your mouth, it has a clear and beautiful ripe fruit sweetness. This one is sweet and dry, contrary to the rough running after the second day 🤔. I wish I could have bought it, but I gave up because there was only one bottle of yellow label left 🥹.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo! I like the Aizu souvenir drinking comparison: ⤴️ There are still many sakes from Fukushima that I haven't tried yet, and now that I've seen them all together in your review, I'm suddenly very interested in them 😋.

chika-san, you can ask Mr. Muro or mail order from Mr. Gonoi. I recommend the nigori (nigori is a type of rice wine). If you mix them, there is no unpleasant bitterness.

I forgot to drink this in Aizu, but it is Kita no Hana. This is the one from Sota's hump party that I drank at my favorite bar. The top aroma is slightly sweet. The first sip has a slightly sweet aroma, with a light sweetness and a hint of acidity that finishes off the palate. According to the Sota no Hump Kai booklet, last year it was sweet, so this year they made it dry 🙄 It was delicious! It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third one is Kita no Hana no Kura, about a 5 minute walk from Kitakata station. I scribbled a note on my phone and erased it by mistake yesterday 😅I think the lady at the store told me they are making about 300 koku now 🤔...

@Japanese Sake BAR Sake Iki Shin Garyu The super milestone of 1000 check-ins. And my last sake in Aizu was Yoshinogawa from Kitakata. Not the Yoshinogawa from Niigata 😌. Master says that 90% of Yoshinogawa is consumed in Kitakata. The initial aroma is fresh and sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the fresh sweetness with a hint of acidity. It is a refreshing and crisp sake that goes down your throat. I think it is my favorite sake among the ones I drank in Aizu. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The fourth picture is of the Yoshinokawa brewery in the center of Kitakata City. They are currently making only about 200 koku of sake.

@Japanese Sake BAR Sake Iki Shin Garyu Aizu Nishiki is located in Takago-cho, Kitakata City, a bit far from the city center of Kitakata. It is a sake made with Koshihikari🌾 produced in terraced rice paddies, limited to the Uekiya Hanpukai. The top aroma is slightly sweet. On the palate, it has a slight bitter taste that finishes with the sweetness of lightly muddled rice. It was delicious!

@Japanese Sake BAR Sake Iki Shin Garyu This sake was made by the bar's master, who asked a young brewer at the Homare Sake Brewery to make this sake (specifying the yeast and sake quality). The initial aroma is fruity and sweet. I have not been told the details, but it is said that two types of yeast from Fukushima are used. It has a juicy sweetness with a hint of sourness in the mouth. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️ When I told the master that it didn't taste like Fukushima, he told me that even the brewer of Homare Sake Brewery told him that the quality of sake was totally different from ours. Even though it's a small batch, they have about 10 more cases in stock in four-pack bottles 😉. The master is a sake geek just like the rest of us sake drinkers, and he told us all about the sake of Fukushima 😊.

The last night in Aizuwakamatsu was spent at the sake bar Sake Iki Shin Garyu. Uekiya Hanpukai limited edition Toyokuni🍶. The sake is made with rice from Aizu Sakashita-machi and the label is made with cotton as well. Actually, I just realized that there are two Toyokuni breweries in Fukushima, one in Aizu Sakashita-cho and the other in Furudono-machi on Naka-dori. I had no idea😅. The first aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of rice. It was quite delicious 🙂. It was quite delicious 🍶. The third picture is of the Toyokuni Shuzo brewery in Aizu Sakashita-cho.
