I bought this when I visited Shunan City in late October. While talking with the manager of the liquor store, I was wondering which one I should buy, and he told me that Nakajimaya was delicious. I bought a Junmai Daiginjo because it was a good opportunity. The rice used for the sake was Yamadanishiki. Polishing ratio 45%. The aroma was fresh and sweet, and as I drank it, I could taste the acidity in the sweetness, and the chirichiri-gas feeling was added and switched to a moderate bitterness. It was a sake with a taste that is typical of the modern kingdom of Yamaguchi. It was so good that it was recommended to me. The accompaniments were grilled codfish with foil and potato butter.

Rice polishing ratio 55 Gohyakumangoku used Purchased during a trip to Shikoku via Awaji, which I was on last week. There are two sake breweries on Awaji Island, and this sake is from the brewery in Minami-Awaji City (south side). After having lunch at a nearby cafe, I happened to pass by the sake brewery and was curious to purchase it on the island. The sake has a dry taste with a hint of ginjo aroma. It has a sharp and clean aftertaste. The accompaniments were sashimi of mentai (yellowtail) and, although not pictured, onion kimchi that I purchased on Awaji Island. The photo is Onaruto Bridge.

Here is yesterday's closing. Eikoufuji. I was interested in this one after reading the review of Sake-no-wa, so I chose it by brand name. Polishing ratio 50%. Gohyakumangoku from Niigata I myself have an image of Ihyakumangoku as being light and sharp, but this sake had an elegant sweetness and gorgeous taste, perhaps due to the power of the sake brewer and yeast. I drank too much yesterday, but it was a fulfilling saki-nama.

I asked the general if he had any interesting sake. The conversation somehow turned to mixed sake and old sake. From there, Tanaka Senkou came out of the fridge under the counter. General, it's not on the menu: ⁉️😆 Apparently, the liquor store we do business with keeps adding new sake to the menu, so we can't update the menu in time (lol). 100% Yamadanishiki from Itoshima, which is typical of Shiraito Shuzo! It's the setting for the current morning drama, Omusubi. The taste is not like Shiraito or Tanaka Rokugo, but it is easy to drink. It is the same Yamada Nishiki produced in Itoshima and the same sake brewery, but the technology of Senkyoku changes it in such a way.

When I was getting very drunk, one of my junior staff members told me he had never had a drink before, and I wanted him to try it. (I wanted to try it myself 💦.) Polishing ratio 45 80% Sake Mirai produced in Yamagata Prefecture The mouthfeel is soft, sweet and delicious, with a perfect balance of richness. The switch to another wine was powerful, with a pleasant aftertaste like no other. The younger member of the group said, "This is the best sake I have ever tasted. When he started the store, he could not get any sake from the liquor stores he dealt with, and it took him a long time to finally get them to allow him to sell it. It was a valuable sake that showed the personality and hard work of the owner.

No.6, there were S and R, so this time it is R-type. The rice flavor is clearly expressed, and the wooden vat gives it a feeling of being made of wood. It can be easily served as a stand-alone sake or as an in-between-dinner drink.

The third set, this is Denshogiku. Polishing ratio 50%. 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture I had some Kangiku in stock at home and was going to hold off at the store, but I thought it would probably be my junior's favorite taste, so I chose it. (The stock is not Denshogiku, so no cans 💦) The mouthfeel had a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and the lingering aftertaste was nicely balanced by the chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-gassiness. My younger colleague was also impressed with the taste. I liked it a lot too ✨.

Good morning, ma-ki-. Thank you for your comment 🙇. The electric chrysanthemum was delicious! I'm too jealous that you're drinking at home and refraining ✨. The owner of the restaurant is also a very funny and flirty guy, and I'm dying right now because I drank too much 😵.

The third set of instruments Masamune in a drinking comparison. Polishing ratio 60 100% Yume-no-Ko The first sip had a sweetness that made it easy to drink, and the glass was empty in a matter of minutes. I looked closely and realized that the low alcohol content (12%) was the reason for the sweetness, and it was hard to believe it was junmai sake. I told him that the sake lineup was too good and that it would be a shame for him to waste his money on a sake that he would not normally choose at this restaurant.

The fourth cup is Koei Kiku. Sagabiyori 100%. I was curious about this brand at Sake-no-wa. We had it at the opening of the bottle. It has an impact as if the mouthpiece is lit up, but the aftertaste is refreshing. It is easy to drink.

The third sake was Yokoyama. I was discussing with the owner about what sake to recommend to my junior staff, and he offered me a glass of Yokoyama, so I chose it because I wanted to drink it myself. Yamadanishiki 100%, Kake rice 55%, Koji rice 50%. The aroma was good. The sweetness was not as strong as Oumine's, but it was fresh, effervescent, and easy to drink. The owner offered us a new sake that was not on the menu. Such a good sake, it's foul, right?

The second bottle is Oumine. 100% Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 50%. A junior colleague of mine often goes to this restaurant for a drink, but since he is a beer drinker, he said he did not know what brand of sake he wanted. I ordered three kinds of sake at the same time, and he said he liked Omine the best. It is a delicious sake with a modern taste and sweetness, just as other reviewers have said. It's interesting to hear what people think when they drink it without prior knowledge 🤔.

I had to move up the schedule for a saki-no-kai because my junior colleague at work was going on childcare leave at the end of the month. The owner of the restaurant is a sports buddy of my junior colleague and I am addicted to sake, so he brought me along. We started with Shinshu Kamerei. 100% Hitogochiki from Nagano Prefecture. I wanted to try this brand after reading your review on Sake-no-wa. The aroma was fruity and pleasantly acidic, and the aftertaste was quite good without any harshness. It goes very well with two kinds of sake: Shime Zaba and Aburi (grilled).

The last one is Tosatsuru. I am heading to Kochi from Tokushima tomorrow, and I don't think I will be able to drink it, so I decided to give it a try. Lately, I myself have been drinking sweet Kochi sake made with Cel24 yeast, but this one was light and deliciously dry. It was the driest sake I drank today. Kochi sake is interesting in that it has two extremes of taste. I finished it with Negitoro roll and yam. The seaweed was still crispy and delicious. The price, service, and taste are all very reasonable and I will visit again when I visit Tokushima.

The third cup is Hyoho Taikoh. The reading is hisago taikou. If you can read it on the first sight, it's great. (I couldn't read it 💦). After the junmai sake, the sake was again aluzoe. It starts with umami and acidity, and is sharp and dry. It is light and dry. Motsu nabe (motsu hot pot). Soy sauce based with a strong flavor that goes well with sake 😃. It was delicious ‼️ My only regret is that I should have taken a picture before mixing it 😵.

The second drink was Awa Taikoo. This was a junmai sake. It started with the umami of rice and had a spicy aftertaste, making it a very satisfying sake. The appetizer was fried cartilage.

I went to Tokushima City via Awaji Island to celebrate the day before my wife's birthday. Since we came here at an opportune moment, we had a chance to try Tokushima's local sake. I have been drinking only junmai sake recently, but this is the first honjozo sake I have had in a long time. It has a sweet and delicious taste with a slight aftertaste. Fried scallops were served with it.

Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you for your comment 🙇. I have not had much luck with Tokushima sake, The full swing and clean aftertaste of Hosui was new to me personally. I've only recently become swamped with sake, so I feel like I'm missing out 😵.

100% Sakonishiki produced in Shimane Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Shimane k101 yeast Sakonishiki is a sake brewing rice developed in Shimane Prefecture. The aroma is not as strong as that of Muhaku Tenshitsu, but the structure is acidity-driven, and the transition is soft like Tenshitsu, with a spicy aftertaste. Sakonishiki is said to have Yamadanishiki as its father, but I do not feel any Yamadanishiki-like flavor at all. Breed improvement is a mystery. I served it with oden (rice with vegetables) as an accompaniment to sake.

100% Yamadanishiki (produced in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture) Polishing ratio 45 This is an autumn sake from the Goddess of Mercy series developed by Sumikawa Shuzo, famous for Toyo Bijin, in collaboration with Yamaguchi, a regional trading company. It has a fruity aroma, a firm sweetness, and a rich mellow taste like an autumn sake. The most surprising thing is that a four-pack bottle costs about 1,800 yen including tax. Too cosy💦. It is for those who like sweet and fruity taste. Fittingly, the wasabi is pickled in soy sauce made in Tokuchi Town, Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Polishing ratio 50 Yamadanishiki Association 901 yeast It seems to be a brewer's challenge sake and is distributed only in Shimane Prefecture. (One supermarket in Izumo City had it, to our surprise). The aroma is subdued, with a juicy sweetness typical of Yamadanishiki, and a hint of acidity. The lingering aftertaste is very strong.
