My first Sairai
It had been a long time since I was notified of the arrival of Horiichi, and I had given up hope that it would not be available, but I happened to get a few bottles left!
Very popular, so much anticipation!
Impressive fruity and sweetness
Flash & juicy with a touch of petiteness.
It has some flavor and acidity, but I guess sweetness is still its characteristic.
I'd like to try the others, but it looks like Oumachi is sold out immediately, so I wonder when I'll see it again...
Hi Masashi!
I live 5 minutes away from Horiichi-san by car ✌️.
Originally I only went to Horiichi-san, but recently I have been going to Otake-san, Chitashige-san and Yoshida-ya-san.
I may have crossed paths with Masa-san at some point😄.
The third interesting label by Mr. Suzuki
I couldn't find it easily, but Otake got it in stock and I bought it safely!
Thank you very much!
The aroma spreads when you open the bottle, just like the institutional starters and the Play Ball.
This time, it has a great apple feeling!
The taste is full of rice flavor, and my wife drank a lot.
It's the type of beer that you can't help but drink even if you don't have a plan, and it opened quickly.
I wonder if there will be a fourth edition.
I'm sure I'll be drinking more of Mr. Suzuki's sake than just the interesting labels.
I was looking for a brand that is only available at Tomiya, and I found Tamitsu and Kyokko's Yumachi on the shelf, so I compared them!
Strong acidity in the mouth, different impression from Asahi Koh
But after that, it has a complex flavor typical of Omachi, which makes it interesting to compare!
I don't particularly like Omachi, but there are a lot of different brands out there now, so I'll drink more and more as I find them!
A series of brands I've only had in restaurants
Yumachi was on the shelves at Tomiya, so we compared it with Tamitsu.
Although there is a difference between special junmai and junmai ginjo, I was reminded of the taste of Omachi rice.
It is not bitterness, but rather than straight rice flavor, it leaves a complex taste somewhere in the back.
Junmai Ginjo Asahi Koh has a mellow, umami sweetness, and an interesting roundness with a tangy taste.
Makes me want to explore Omachi a little more.
Summer sake that I reach for without thinking
After a long time, I chose Oze no Yukidoke for peace of mind.
When I looked at the label when I drank it, I realized once again that it was a good choice!
Sake is a vaccine for the mind.
It always tastes better than usual when you think you're injecting a vaccine!
I've had a variety of Oze no Yukidoke, but all of them have the impression of rice, which I love!
This one also has a strong rice flavor.
The fruitiness is, um, pear?
I'm still a bit deaf to taste.
If I didn't know any liquor stores other than Kimata-san, I would certainly be a repeat brand.
This is actually my second bottle of Natsu-no-happu, as I forgot to take a picture of it the last time I bought it.
As is typical of summer sake, it is easy to drink.
But the rice flavor is also very good.
The acidity was a characteristic of the product, but it was not at the forefront, and it was a moderate, gentle acidity.
In that sense, I guess it has a fruitiness like grapefruit.
Now that I have finally painted Wakayama Prefecture, there are only 4 prefectures left!
I think I can manage Tokyo and Tokushima, but I guess I'll just have to pooch Okinawa and Miyazaki...
I had not been able to find Hana Yuu, so I tried Ryoseki Shuzo's.
The weather is still gloomy and I chose blue.
It's called Dry Evolution, and it's really dry and refreshing!
I usually don't mind bitterness, but it seems to linger somewhat after drinking
Not bad at all.
I tried it on the rocks, but I guess that's a no-no.
It was a good sake, so I wanted to try the sweet one.
I wonder if they still have it in stock.
I should have bought them together...
Brands that started showing up in restaurants before Corona.
Found a boxed bottle at Tomiya that is perfect for gift-giving.
It was over my budget, but I bought it without a second thought.
The obi says, "Good sake will always be understood by people through heaven," and I can feel the commitment.
Not strongly fruity, only faintly fragrant.
Mild on the palate
Full of rice flavor, but not too sweet.
It is very elegant and gentle, and seems to go well with delicate dishes.
I guess that's why they are so popular in Japanese restaurants.
I would buy it again if I could find it, but it depends on the cost.
Kaze no Mori after a long time
This is the first time I've had such a unique summer sake.
I was surprised at the force when I opened the cork.
Like champagne 🍾.
Full of freshness and quite juicy.
Fruity, with a touch of bitterness.
My wife enjoyed it a lot.
It goes on and on, but I saved it for the second day.
I think the bubbles are still there and the taste hasn't changed much.
It's not a good summer drink, but it's great for summer, so it will be a bottle I want to drink again next year!
takeshon-san recommends Kudokitate!
I used to buy only 1 bottle of sake, but I finally came across a 4-gou bottle and bought it safely!
The aroma spreads and you get the feeling it's going to be delicious.
I thought the rice flavor would come with a bang, but it was extremely gentle!
Quite a rounded taste that I haven't had in a long time.
Delicious 😆.
I'll buy a four-pack of Kudoki as soon as I find it.
Good morning, takeshon😃.
I'd like to try the Jr. version next time.
I have to save the number of bottles I buy for that purpose😅.
I think I buy too many of them at once.
I think this is the last Sake Mirai of the year that I got at Yoshidaya.
Fruity aroma is more spread out and more gorgeous than that of Naraman, which we compared.
Needless to say, the rice flavor is strong.
I think I prefer the Tohoku Izumi.
I drank it over about 3 days, but I don't think the taste changed that much.
Wife seems to like this one better.
Looking forward to next year!
I was surprised at how good it tasted when I drank the Sake Mirai of Tianqing!
I was quite depressed when I had to forego Kudokyuide's Sake Mirai because I could not buy a bottle for various reasons, but I was not discouraged and searched around and finally got Naraman at Horiichi.
Then I found Yoshidaya's Tohoku Izumi Sake Mirai in stock right after that, and I got it safely over the weekend!
Since we were there, we compared the drinks.
First of all, simply delicious!
As soon as the bottle is opened, the aroma of fruit is subtle, and when it is poured, it spreads quickly, raising expectations (bananas?).
Full of rice flavor
I hope to drink more sake future next year
Whenever I find a limited edition product of Futaba, which I like a lot, I can't resist it!
Doala and Futaba, an interesting collaboration!
A light nigori foam
It's so delicious!
The taste of rice, freshness and ramune?
I tried to enjoy it on the second day, but my wife drank it...
I want to drink this again next year.
Probably my first brand.
Maybe I've had it out and about.
The rice flavor is impressive, but on the second day I could taste the fruitiness.
I think I like this type quite a bit
Father's Day present from my children, Akatake
I'm so happy!
The blue color of the bottle is impressive, and the name of the beer gives a feeling of summer.
It has a gaseous taste, and the rice flavor is normal. 13% alcohol by volume, my wife and I finished it in one day.
Thank you!
It's a summer sake I'd like to drink again next year.
