A bottle purchased at a department store.
It is an easy-drinking sweet fruity sake with a low alcohol content of 6% and a solid gassy taste.
It doesn't feel like sake lol.
It was delicious. 🙆♂️
Moving on to Ganko Sushi at Eki Marche in Umeda.
Sake from a sake brewery near Tsujunkyo Bridge, a sightseeing spot in Kumamoto.
This sake has a moderate flavor of rice.
It went well with the sushi! It was delicious. 🙆♂️
The second sake is from Tsunaki town near Minamata in southern Kumamoto.
This one is a crisp, light and dry sake.
It was a nice sake to go with fish sashimi. 🙆♂️
This November, Kumamoto Prefecture and Umeda commercial facilities are collaborating with each other, so I came to Umeda today to drink Kumamoto Prefecture's sake🍶.
We compared three Kumamoto sake at this restaurant.
I have often heard of this sake, but this was my first time to try it.
It was a mellow and delicious cup with a hint of rice flavor. 🙆♂️
This is Mie Nishiki, a local sake from Iga, which we also bought in Okage Yokocho.
It is a light and dry sake, perfect for a mealtime drink and easy to drink.
When I saw the words "limited to Ise-Shima", I was tempted to buy it.
This is a sake brewery produced by Imuraya, famous for its adzuki-bar, a souvenir from a visit to Ise.
It seems that the brewery is located in VISON, a commercial facility in Taki Town.
A bottle with a fruity, clear sweetness that spreads 👏👏.
It was delicious with a hint of gasiness too!
The second glass was Tenka Nishiki, a local sake also from Nabari.
It was sweeter and fruity than the Takasago we had earlier, and was also a delicious drink 👏👏.
We had the beef soup with Iga beef, a specialty of Nabari, which was also delicious with a gentle taste 👏👏.
Today, I went to Nabari on business.
After finishing my business, I went on a pilgrimage to the Kiyamasa Sake Brewery, which is famous for Jikin in Nabari.
After that, we went to a restaurant in front of Nabari station for a lunchtime drink.
The first drink I had was Takasago, a local brand of the Kiyamasa Brewery.
It was a refined, mildly sweet and delicious sake, though not as flashy as Jikin. 🙆♂️
It was delicious!
Hello, Mr. Tatsuko!
Thank you for your business 🍀.
It's one of the pleasures of having local sake while out and about 😁✨✨.
And Takasago, it has a different flavor from Jikin 😋!
Hi ma-ki-!
Thank you 😊
I like to drink local sake, so if anything, I came here with the feeling that this is the main event rather than an errand lol.
Jikin and Takasago each have their own merits: ☺️
This sake was drunk at a sake brewery in Okage Yokocho.
It was a fruity and delicious cup.
I drink sake here every year when I come to Ise, and every time I drink it, it is always delicious. 🙆♂️
The second glass is Sashi, Kuwana's local sake, which is new to me.
This one is crisp, light and dry. I had it with grilled oyster skewers, and they went together very well! It was delicious. 🙆♂️
On the second day of sightseeing in Mie, we went to Morishita Sake Shop in Oharaicho to compare three types of Mie sake.
First, Hanzo.
A stable, fruity and sweet sake that is typical of Hanzo. 🙆♂️
It is a good sake for beginners.
Two days of sightseeing in Ise-Shima starting today.
I drank a cup of this sake at a restaurant near the Geku shrine.
Sake with a strong rice flavor, sweetness and richness.
It is a good sake to be heated up. 🙆♂️
Good evening, Mr. Tatsu!
I hope your trip to Ise-Shima is good 🚃.
I'm a big fan of Mie sake, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of sake I can find in my hometown 🤤🤤.
I've never seen this one before, but the rice flavor sounds delicious 😋.
Hi, ma-ki-.
I love Mie sake too and drink it often 🍶.
There are many other good sake besides Sakujikin 😋.
This sake was a bit peculiar, but it was delicious. 🙆♂️
It's getting colder in the mornings and evenings 😂.
That's why we started heating sake again this season 🍶.
I've been wanting to try this one.
I had it lukewarm at 13 degrees and it was surprisingly light warmed sake.
I think it's a good sake for beginners in heating sake. 🙆♂️
I like the taste, but personally I would prefer it to be a bit more robust.
A brand I had never heard of that I saw at a local drugstore.
It is an Akita brand, but it is made by Hokuseki Shuzo in Tochigi Prefecture.
It is a stable, delicious and high quality drink.
It went down smoothly. 🙆♂️
A bottle purchased at a supermarket. It is a local sake from Kurobe.
We had it with kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) and shishamo (dried shrimps). It was a sake that goes well with seafood, which is typical of Toyama sake.
I was there to watch Game 4 of the Japan Series.
It was cold, so I bought some hot sake from a vendor.
It was a delicious sake with a strong alcohol taste.
Hanshin lost the game and were on the verge of winning the championship, but let's hope they will win again tomorrow...!
While watching the Japan Series.
The nigorizake is the most famous sake of Tsukitsukatsura.
The balance of sweetness and flavor unique to nigori sake is wonderful 👏👏.
After the third game, the Hanshin won one and lost two, but there are still more games to come. I will be watching the game on site tomorrow, so I really hope they win 🐯.
