The last is a virtidian that is a hibakusha drink.
It has a fruity grapefruit-like citrus taste with a slight gassy sensation. It was indeed a cup of Shinsei. 🙆♂️
The second cup, Jurakudai by Sasaki Shuzo.
It is a light but slightly fruity sake with a hint of sweetness.
It is a very Kyoto-like sake and I liked it too 👏👏👏.
At an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) specializing in dried fish in Kyoto Station Porta 🐟.
We started with Mie's local sake, Jukui.
A classic drink with a mellow rice flavor.
It was delicious. 🙆♂️
It seems to be written "Chitose" and read "Sensai". Another brand of Yamana Shuzo, which brews Okutanba.
The last sake 🍶.
Dry but with a lactic acidity.
After all, the label is cool lol.
I had never even heard of the name of the rice, but it was delicious.
The third drink was Kakogawa's brand name Morinori.
This one was a different story, a light and dry one.
It was very easy to drink with a cool and refreshing taste 🍶.
It was also delicious!
The second cup is also a Himeji brand, Nada Kiku.
This one is a fruity, sweet and sour cup.
It also has a wine-like taste.
Hyogo is known for its light and dry wines, but this one doesn't remind me of Hyogo at all.
On my day off, I had Hyogo sake at Asano Sake Shop's corner store in Sannomiya.
First up was Yukihikoyama.
A fruity, sweet, delicious and mellow cup. 🙆♂️
It was delicious♪
I was curious about this brand, Saijo's local sake Kamerei.
It is a light, dry sake with a hint of alcohol that is perfect for a mid-meal drink.
It is a typical Hiroshima sake.
I wanted to try this brand at least once.
It is so soft, smooth, and light sake that you would never guess from the name "Emperor of the Night" 🍶.
The "Emperor of the Night" must be a very gentle man...lol...
I bought this sake at a department store.
It is a dry sake that is light but has a subtle umami flavor, which is typical of Fushimi.
It was delicious. 🙆♂️
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: ☺️
