A souvenir from my son's visit to Dogo Onsen.
The taste of rice can be felt and it is delicious. It is said to be dry, but it is also sweet and refreshing.
Purchase at the brewery
Sake brewery located near the Hongu Sengen Taisha shrine on Mt.
Fuji. ‼️
Fuji spring water is gushing out from the pond in the precincts of the shrine.
It is sweet and fruity, but as usual, I cannot tell what kind of fruit it is.
It is also astringent and Japanese fruit-like.
Purchased at a supermarket in Shizuoka City since it was not sold at the brewery.
A sake brewery that moved from Shizuoka to Okayama has made a comeback.
It has a good balance of sweetness and tangy spiciness at the moment of drinking.
Brewery purchase
This brewery has a beautiful view of Mt.
Fuji, but this is the only one with a straightforward "Mt.
The first sip is dry, but the sweetness spreads in the mouth.
The alcohol content is indicated as 15 degrees Celsius, but it is easy to get drunk very quickly.
Purchase of a Sake Brewery
This is the third bottle of Shizuoka sake.
There were many brands with "Nishiki" in the name, so I continued to drink them.
When I asked for a sweet sake, I was told that Shizuoka sake is dry, and this was recommended among them.
He recommended this one, which he said was made by an accidental addition of yeast from the brewery and aged to taste like white wine.
When I tried it, I found that it really tasted like a white wine with its acidity and sweetness.
I would love to drink it again, but since it was created by accident, I doubt I will ever be able to drink it again.
Purchased from a warehouse
Sweet.
It is thick and has the sweetness of rice. There is an astringent aftertaste.
The brewery has a good view of Mt.
Fuji, and the beautiful water, which seemed to come from the spring of Mt.
I wondered if the sake was made with this water.
Bought at a warehouse
A little spicy, but it has a good rice taste and leaves a good aftertaste on the palate.
It has a refreshing aftertaste when paired with salty foods.
It is a small brewery and I have never seen it sold in Saitama Prefecture.
The lineup is small, but it seems to be carefully produced.
Bought at a warehouse
This one is also fruity, sweet and tasty with a grapefruit-like bitterness.
It is fizzy and has a nice schwash.
I didn't realize that 80% polished rice could be so tasty.
I thought it was just a stereotype that polishing is good.
Purchase of a warehouse
It is an old building and is designated as a cultural asset.
He also showed us the barrels and the squeezer used for brewing.
He said, "It is said that it is better to polish rice to 70 or 80% for daiginjo, but we do it this way," and for nama sake, "Heat treatment is better for long-lasting sake, but we don't do it," etc. Impressed by his persistence in not denying others, we decided to buy two bottles, although we had decided to buy only one bottle per brewery.
As the label on the back of the bottle says, the taste is reminiscent of white peaches, with a fruity and sour aftertaste.
Satoru-san, good evening 🌙Wakakoma sake brewery looks quaint and nice, and the location of the chimney is an interesting structure 👀The people at the brewery are nice, and it looks like it will be even more delicious ✨.
Purchased a warehouse.
I was greeted by an elegant lady.
I said, "HOKKOJI GORIKI" is an unusual name," and she politely explained, "There is a rice called GOKURIKI, which is produced in Tottori..." What I wanted to know was "HOKKOJI GORIKI," but...
What I wanted to know was the name of the "luminous road"...
The taste was nice, thick and sweet.
Purchasing a warehouse
A factory rather than a warehouse.
This atmosphere was lonely.
The taste is smooth and easy to drink, with a clean aftertaste.
If it were good, it would be a stable taste, but if it were bad, it would be a taste without individuality.
I wondered if it was mass-produced in a factory.
What does the processing plant on the label mean?
Sataru-san. Nice to meet you! It seems that Mimine is the parent company of Seitoku-san. According to the Food Labeling Law, it seems that the manufacturer is the one who actually produced the product and the processing plant means the place where it was bottled. It was unnecessary. I am glad it tastes good.
Purchase of a warehouse
The husband and wife?
Both were cheerful, well-spoken and in a good mood.
The taste is clean and refreshing.
Soft sweetness is good.
Buy at the Sake Brewery
Tokyo Shiba Sake
Commemorative sake for Tokyo Marathon finishers
I bought this on my way home from the reception at Big Sight yesterday, because the course is near the brewery (Shiba).
I will drink it tonight and sleep like a dead man.
When I opened the bottle, there was a slight aroma of rice.
A little fizz? Tangy on the tongue. It has a strong acidity and pungency with a clean aftertaste.
Bought at a warehouse
They say it reads Dekokpalaskevoboros, but what does it mean?
100% Miyamanishiki
It is said to be made with apple yeast, which gives it a strong apple sweetness and sourness.
Although it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is low at 13%, and it is easy to drink as you do not feel it at all when you drink it.
I visited the brewery before, but was unable to buy it because they were closed.
The brewery does not sell Kuroemon XVI, but I found it at Nagano station and bought it without hesitation.
The moment I opened it, a sweet aroma wafted through the air.
It has a delicious fruit-like sweetness and sourness.
Purchase of a warehouse
I finally got to visit a brewery that is fairly close by but I couldn't get to.
It is easy to drink with a sweet aroma and a smooth taste.
The balance of sweetness and sourness is just right.
The price of 1,798 yen for Junmai Daiginjo is very reasonable.
Brewery purchase
Purchased on the way back from Bessho Onsen spa at the end of October.
As the label on the back says (or maybe I feel it more because it is written), it is sour. It has a strong sourness.
It is neither spicy nor sweet, but has an aromatic flavor.
The aftertaste is astringent.
This sourness tastes familiar, but I can't remember it.
I had given up on buying it because sales at the brewery were on hiatus, but I found it at a supermarket in Nagano City. As expected, there was no Genmai.
It is easy to drink and delicious.
It has a light grape aroma and a sweet taste, but not grape sweetness. I don't know what sweetness it is.
The astringent taste remained at the end.
Next time, I would like to try Genmai.
Purchase of a warehouse
I had been to Ueda many times because I am a big fan of Shotaro Ikenami's Sanada Taiheiki.
I had no interest in sake, so I had no idea that the brewery in Yanagimachi was so famous.
I visited there at the end of October and found only this ordinary sake on sale.
When I opened the bottle, it made a nice pshhhh sound.
Is this why the label on the back of the bottle says, "Please keep it upright"?
It has a sweet aroma and taste that one would not expect from a regular sake.
It is easy to drink.
Next time, I will get a junmai type.
