The store had moved to the place where it was founded and had a beautiful exterior and interior.
However, we seemed to have visited before the grand opening, so the products were not lined up and were brought to us from the back of the store.
We were told to drink our brewery's sake hot, so we tried heated sake for the first time.
It was an aged golden color with an aroma of honey.
When I first drank it, I was choked up, but when I regained my breath and drank it, the richness of the sake came through.
Unlike the aroma, the spiciness of the wine is more pronounced, but as the temperature drops, the sweetness comes out.
I enjoy the change in flavor, and I feel like I don't get drunk at all.

Saitama sake after a long time.
It is not well known in Japan, but it is named after Jiro Naozane Kumagaya, a hero of Kumagaya City. It is named after Jiro Naozane Kumagaya, a hero of Kumagaya City.
To be honest, not many people in Saitama know about it...
The brewery seems to be small in size, but they had a variety of products.
They also gave us a detailed explanation.
It is dry, but the sweetness remains at the end.
Fluffy rice sweetness.
Goes well with meals.
Hello Satoru 😊
I see you visited Gonda Sake Brewery ❣️
I was approached by the brewery at the Saitama Prefecture booth at last year's Sake Fair and drank it for the first time 😋 It was a freshly brewed Ginjo Shiboritate and it was delicious 😋 I would love to visit this brewery!

The store is located next to the hall where explanations are given to visitors, and people from the Fukushima Prefecture Sake Brewers Association were there for a tour.
I saw it for sale at a local supermarket, so I chose the limited edition bottle, thinking it was a unique bottle from the brewery.
I've never tasted Hakutsuru Nishiki sake rice before.
The aroma is like muscat.
The taste is refreshing. The sweetness and umami of the rice spreads, but it quickly fades away. It is a taste you can keep drinking.

This was another large brewery.
Surrounded on three sides by roads, I thought the store would be on the other side of the road, so I went back and forth on two roads and couldn't find it, but went to the other side and found a cool new store.
Fruity.
Aomori magic? I can smell and taste the apple.
Sweet with a soft mouthfeel and a clean, delicious aftertaste.
Hello, Satoru-san!
Aomori brewery tour sounds great 🎵.
Toyobai is a beautiful brewery 😲.
I had the impression it was retro 😁.
I'd like to try Toyobai's Aomori magic again 🤗.

Located along the river in Hachinohe City, the size of the building is impressive and can be seen from the bridge.
The building is also designated as a cultural asset.
However, for some reason, the signboard reads "Komai Sake Brewery.
Smells like banana.
It tastes not like banana.
It has a sharp mouthfeel, with a sharp, fizzy, and slightly bitter mouthfeel. A parade of tastes of rice, sourness, bitterness, and astringency.

The brewery is located in the city of Hachinohe.
It is a more prosperous town than I expected and I didn't know where to park my car, so I parked it dawdling in front of the store.
It is a direct sales place with a rich lineup to enjoy.
Fruity and sweet aroma.
It tastes like "unfiltered, raw, unfiltered sake".
Slightly effervescent, fresh fruit-like dark sweetness and acidity.
It is delicious.
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.

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.

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.
