Souvenir.
It has a nice fruity sweetness in the mouth.
It tastes like sake.
The acidity is also good.
I drank it chilled, but it tastes even better when it warms up.
I went to the warehouse to buy it, but it was closed.
3:00 p.m. is too early to close.
So I bought it at a liquor store in Hirosaki City.

It has a slight fizziness.
It has a sweet taste and is easy to drink.
What is it that leaves a sharp taste of alcohol in the throat?
The rice is not polished, which is a good thing.
Good evening, Satoru🦉.
I don't think they close at 3pm 💦It's a shame you had to go 😢I'm still glad you were able to buy the sake you were looking for 😊.

It is a large brewery with a sense of history,
The store was recently renovated, and it was very clean and luxurious.
The lady who helped me was gorgeous.
The aroma is like honey, and the taste is sweet and rich, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
But the aftertaste is refreshing.
The sake is made using the "ikuhashi-zukuri" method, which gives the impression of having a sour taste, but there is none.

It was "Hana Ippu" which I thought was "Hana Kaze" until I took a picture of it.
The brewer was kind enough to explain it to me in detail.
He moved to Hirosaki City, and this one is from the Iwakisan water system?
The taste is clean and refreshing.
It has a melon sweetness near the skin.
Is that why it has a green label? The sweetness and sourness are well conveyed.

The second bottle of Aomori sake
This one also has a soft mouthfeel.
Is this a characteristic of the Hakkoudasan water system?
I thought the taste was weak when I put it in my mouth, but the umami flavor spread quickly afterwards.
It is also delicious.
Souvenir of my son
2300 yen / 720 ml
At a liquor store in Nagano city, he was told they would sell it to anyone who purchased more than 6000 yen and bought 4 bottles in total.
Tied sales💢.
Is it normal for a store like that?
I wouldn't buy it, but I'm glad he went that far to buy it.
The taste is sweet like fresh fruit and not alcoholic at all.
It's a bit melon-y, almost melon-like.
This is delicious.
I might buy it in a package 😜.

My first Aomori sake.
The brewery is located in the old town of Kuroishi City, which we reached after visiting Lake Towada and Oirase.
The brewery is a magnificent structure and was the location for the historical drama "Inochi" (Life), with pictures of a young Yoshiko Mita and the late Toru Watanabe.
The taste is soft and gentle.
Maybe the water is different?
Although the sake is labeled as a dry sake, it is not that dry, and it is delicious with a sweet taste.
It seems that it could be a little more well-known and popular.
Hello chika-san.
I see that you were in Aomori after all.
I was wondering if the icon was a nebuta? I was wondering if it was Nebuta.
Kuroishi is a nice place with a calm atmosphere.
Suga sake
Junmai Daiginjo from Tobiume yeast
Dazaifu Tenmangu souvenir from my son
He said the sake was made from the yeast of the plum blossoms of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine.
I thought I heard a bell when I opened the box, and found an ema (votive picture tablet) hanging on the bottle.
I worshiped it in the hope of receiving a blessing before eating it.
It tastes slightly of plums.
It is not like umeboshi (pickled plums), but rather a sweet plum flavor, like plum-flavored candy.
The aromatic sweetness and fragrance of plums spreading in the mouth and the spiciness at the end are good.

Souvenir for my son
It seems to be a product limited to the warehouse.
There is no specific name listed, but it is junmai (pure rice).
It has a sweet aroma and taste.
The aftertaste is spicy and disappears quickly.
According to my son, it is not a fruit-like sweetness, but a pure sugary sweetness.
So it is the sweetness of rice.

This brewery is known for "Rikishi," which Saitama Prefecture residents have probably seen before. The brewery has a well-stocked store and is close to the aforementioned Shimizu Sake Brewery, but has a very different atmosphere.
It has a fruity, elegant taste with a good balance of sweetness and acidity.

The rice is said to be Miyamanishiki.
It has been a long time since I have tasted Saitama sake.
This is the closest brewery to our house, and I have been wanting to visit there for a long time.
I didn't know if they sold directly to the public, and I was hesitant to enter.
But I gathered up my courage and went in.
It is a very small brewery, and they seem to sell only what they are making at the time.
When the bottle was opened, it smelled like red wine.
The taste is robust and thick.
The sweetness of the rice is followed by a spiciness and finally a bitterness. I like the taste.
Good value for money.
gift
Fuji spring water brewing
It is said to be made to go well with wasabi dishes, so I paired it with salad chicken with wasabi and soy sauce.
The sweetness of the rice on the palate and the tangy spiciness that came later were refreshing.
I got this from someone
I hide the fact that I drink sake, but for some reason they gave it to me.
This is the Kubota I see in various places!
The light and dry.
It's a bit alcoholic, but you can taste the sweetness of the rice.
(It's a taste that (if you are a strong drinker) you can keep drinking for a long time.

It is not what you would call an old house. It is a very large, magnificent old building.
Inside, there is a large hall and sake is laid out on the earthen floor.
It is located so deep in the mountains that one might wonder why it is called Sagaminada. It is located so far up in the mountains that I wondered why it was called Sagaminada.
The taste is dry.
But it also has the sweetness of rice.
It has a sweet aftertaste when you put it in your mouth.
It is good that the last taste is sweet.

Surrounded by houses, but I think I climbed up the mountain quite a bit.
There is a refrigerator in the office, and I think they had about 7 or 8 different kinds.
It is closed for lunch from 12 to 1 pm, so be careful if you go there.
Smells like grapes.
The taste is also grape-like.
The acidity of Yamahai is well balanced and delicious.
Polishing ratio 90
I think again that polished rice is not necessarily better.

A birthday present from my son
He found a warehouse in Nasu-Karasuyama city where he went for work and bought it for me.
I wondered if I should drink a 20-year-old bottle or if I should let it sit longer, but I decided to take my son's feelings into consideration and opened the bottle.
I thought it was corked with a cork, but it had a cap inside a hollowed out piece of wood.
The beautiful golden color gave off an aroma like aged Shaoxing wine or whiskey.
It also tasted a little like Shaoxing wine. It tasted mild and sweet, with a hint of spiciness and bitterness at the end.
This is the taste of maturity!
I was happy to have a bottle that I would not have chosen for myself.
Thank you, my son. ‼︎
Good evening, Satoru-san!
Happy Birthday🎉!
Your son gave you a present of old sake: ⤴️
I've never received old sake before, so I'm curious to read your review ✨.
It's a wonderful sake time to feel your son's thoughts 😊.
MA-KI-.
Thank you very much.
The good thing about old wine is that you can drink it while thinking about what you and your family were doing back then.
Hi Satoru 😃
Quintessence! Son of God's Tongue ‼️ is a chic birthday gift 🍶🤗Ah! Happy birthday 🎂🎉Happy birthday to you 🥹 with 20 years of memories on the side 😌 is another good one 😌.

1980 yen/720ml, I think.
The brewery has a luxurious appearance.
I was a bit intimidated when I bravely opened the door, but I was relieved to find that the owner was friendly and helpful.
The aroma was slightly sweet.
The sweetness of the rice spreads and ends with spiciness. The aftertaste is astringent.
It tastes a little different from other sake and is easy to drink.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted with a cheerful "We have new sake! The cheerful greeting was pleasant.
I chose nigori, which was recommended to me as both nigori and normal sake.
The aroma was grapefruit.
It also tastes sour and bitter like grapefruit.
It is a delicious sake with a slight sparkle.
We received a lot of sakekasu (sake lees) as a free gift. There are many places that sell it, but we were very grateful.
The amazake we made was also very tasty.

It is a fairly large sake brewery with a large parking lot.
There is an unmanned store, and when making a purchase, one pushes a button to call a clerk, allowing one to take their time in making a selection.
The sake has a sweet and slightly alcoholic aroma.
The taste is also alcoholic, but the balance of sweetness and sourness is good, and the taste is strong.
