Sake given to me by my boss from Yamaguchi as a souvenir from back home 🍶. Rice polishing ratio 40 Alcohol content 17%. 75% Nishitoshizuku, 25% Yamadanishiki Saito no Shizuku is Yamaguchi's sake brewing rice. It is crossed with Yamadanishiki on the paternal side. This is a non-junmai, al-soaked daiginjo. The aroma is a sweet ginjo aroma. In the mouth it has a sweet and rice flavor that is not too assertive, maybe a little light 🤔. From there, bitterness and alu-ness join in, and it finishes with a refreshing acidity. The entrée was grilled Renkotai sea bream with small sardine tempura and pork wrapped in soybean sprouts 😙. It was an easy sake to pair with food as it was not too assertive and did not interfere with the meal😃. Iwakuni city has five bridges, ganjiki, and golden-crowned black pine trees. Each of them use water from the Nishiki River system, which again amazed me with how good the water is 😲.

Katano cherry blossoms are the last of the saki-no-shu with junior staff. Polishing ratio 65 Alcohol content 17 Sake rice is Omachi This is the first Osaka sake from a brand that I myself had never heard of 😊. The umami characteristic of Omachi. It was a mellow, juicy and delicious sake 😄. I had a great time and we talked so much that I drank too much and ended up with a hangover that lasted until the next day 😵💦💦. I was sad to say goodbye, but I told my juniors to have fun and that I would have another drink with them after I move on 🥲.

Good evening, soumacho 😃. Congratulations on your first sake in Osaka at "Kata no Sakura" at the end of a fun sakishin ㊗️ 🎉. It's hard to be three days drunk 😱 but it means you had such a fun and intense time 🥹I'm looking forward to seeing you again 🤗.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄! This was my first Osaka sake in an unexpected way 🍶. In fact, we have another Osaka sake on standby in our cellar ! It was a fun time and I will try to motivate myself to drink again 😃.

店主に酸を活かした酒をリクエストして出てきたのがこちらの天穏。 精米歩合60% アルコール度数17% 島根県産佐香錦100% 香りはカルピスのような甘い香り。 口に含むと滑らかで発泡感もあり、甘旨酸のバランスが良くてスルスル呑める😊 無窮天穏でも思いましたが、なんというか乳酸を感じる味わいで旨い✨ 以前、天穏の佐香錦を使用した青ラベルを飲んだんですが全然違う味わいでビックリ😳 これはかなり自分好みの美味しいお酒でした😙

Good evening, soumacho 😃. Sake with acidity! That's exactly what we like ‼️ Shimane Sake no Tenkakisan😋I'll keep that in mind😙.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! Sentori is also good at utilizing acidity ✨. I would definitely recommend Tenshu because it makes the best use of acidity and umami. I think the Haru no Tsuki was the best sake I had that day👍.

For the second drink, I asked the owner for a recommendation on an out-of-prefecture sake✨. When it came out, I asked him if it was Shizuoka, and he said it was Shimane. I asked him if it was Shizuoka and he said it was Shimane, which I completely misunderstood 💦. This sake is from a sake brewery in Onsunzu-cho, Ota City. This is embarrassing 😅 I went to Ota City in Shimane last fall to see it. Polishing ratio 90 Alcohol content 17 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Sanbei Town No additive yeast. It has a dry taste with rice flavor, woody flavor, acidity, and punch. It is truly dry. It was a complete change from Miwazakura and had a classic and complex flavor typical of Shimane sake.

After finishing our meal, we decided to go to a nearby sake bar for a few more drinks. The owner of this bar asks you what you like and serves you a selection from the day's selection. First, I requested a fruity type, and this Miwazakura came out. The brewery is located in Miwa-cho on the south side of Miyoshi City in the northern part of the prefecture, and I used to work in the neighboring city of Aki Takata in the past, so it's not that I have no connection to the city at all, but I feel a little familiar with it ✨. Rice polishing ratio 70%. 17% alcohol by volume 100% Moeibuki grown in Hiroshima Prefecture Moeibuki was developed by Hiroshima Prefecture and the application was filed in 2022, so it is still a new variety. In the mouth, it has a juicy sweetness and acidity in addition to the taste of rice, giving it a truly fruity flavor. Even if you live in Hiroshima, there are still many sake brewing rice varieties in Hiroshima that you may not know about 🤔.

The second bottle is Ganki. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content is 15%. The flavor of the rice can be felt well, and the taste is also very stable 😙. The brewery is located in the middle of Iwakuni city, so just passing by gives you a sense of closeness that you want to support 😁. Pairing it with sushi or tempura is a GOOD idea👍!

I've been working with my junior since he was 19 years old and it's been 5 years since then 😃He got transferred in April and we had dinner together. He said he wanted sushi so we went to a sushi restaurant near Hiroshima station 🍣. The first cup was Kamo Kanehide. 50% Koji rice, 60% Kake rice Alcohol content 13%. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink and gives it a strong umami flavor. It was a great combination with sushi 😙. The conger eel was warm and this combination was great👍.

The other day, I bought a bottle of Kangiku's Aizan in Kobe. I usually buy sake in 4-goules bottles, but this time I bought it in 1-sho bottles because they didn't have any in stock. Due to the space limitations of our refrigerator, I opened it right away 😁. 100% ASK Aiyama from Hyogo Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 When the bottle is opened, it has a gorgeous sweet aroma. When you drink it, the rich sweetness swells in your mouth and you can feel the gasiness. It is truly juicy. It keeps it while it gets sharp. I haven't had the chance to drink Aizan sake because I haven't had much luck with it, but as I had heard, it is a sweet and fruity tasting sake ✨. Kangiku itself gives the impression of being sweet, but Aizan 50 is even more specialized in sweetness 😊.

Good evening, soumacho! This is a sake I would like to try when I first learned about Kangiku: ⤴️ It's too good to specialize in sweetness 😋.

After tasting at the Ryuriki Shop, Kami said she wanted to try again the oden she had eaten in Himeji City before, so we went to another restaurant ☝️ I ordered Okuharima, which I had given up on after worrying about buying it on a previous visit to Kobe. I couldn't take a picture of the bottle, so here's a picture of my order💦. When I put it in my mouth, I was surprised by the rice flavor 🍚. It is dry but crisp and easy to drink 🍶. Great combination with oden. The combination with tsukune was especially good 🍢.

While Kami bought Maneken waffles after eating oden, we had a paid tasting at the Ryuriki store in the basement of Himeji Station😄. After much deliberation, I ordered a freshly squeezed bottle of Rice Whispering ✨. 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Sake mother 40% koji rice Kake rice 50%. Alcohol content 18 The aroma is fruity. The freshness of the freshly pressed sake is followed by the umami of the rice and a moderate acidity, and then the spiciness kicks in with a thud 😃. The taste was powerful as the name "Ryuriki" implies 🍶.

This is Nada Kiku's Junmai Daiginjo spec "Kiku no Shizuku". 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Polishing ratio is 48 Alcohol content is 15 Compared to the Junmai sake we just drank, the aroma is more gorgeous and the taste is sweeter and more refined with a full body and sharpness without any cloying taste 😃. I like this one a lot 😙. I enjoyed it with the same oden, but with a darker, fatty flavor like yellowtail rather than tofu 😊.

Today, after visiting a bakery that Kami wanted to go to in Kobe City and a liquor store that I wanted to stop by, we had lunch in Himeji City at the request of Kami, who wanted to eat Himeji Oden. What a surprise 💦💦 she gave me permission to have a lunchtime drink. She said she would drive me home, so I took her up on her offer 😙. So we ordered Nada Kiku, a local sake from Himeji. What a surprise, it's half price on weekdays for lunch: ‼️ The specs are 21% Yamadanishiki and 79% Hyogo Yume Nishiki. Rice polishing ratio is 70%. Alcohol content is 15 Fruity aroma, pear-like sweet taste on the palate, then spiciness. The taste of rice lingers in the aftertaste 😊. It came with yellowtail, grilled tofu, and daikon radish, but the combination with grilled tofu goes well together 😄.

The last of the Kyushu sake we got on our trip to Kyushu in January (and yet we bought some Kyushu sake today💦). The last one is Princess Michiko from "Yokoyama" which I got in Nagasaki city, and I had a hard time deciding which one to get because they had GOLD one at the liquor store, but the owner said that GOLD used to sell better, but now Princess Michiko, which won the Grand Prix at Sake-1, is more popular. This is the one for you✨ Rice polishing ratio 40 Rose yeast Alcohol 15%. We had it in a glass because it was a special occasion 🍷. The aroma is gorgeous and elegant, and in the mouth it is juicy with a honey-like sweetness and a hint of acidity. The lingering taste leaves only sweetness. The sweetness is also elegant sweetness 😊. It is an elegant sake that I am in awe of abbreviating because it is named after the Empress Shang Empress ✨. We prepared a variety of entrées, including hot tofu and salad, but the combination with yangnyeom chicken goes well 😙Of course, it's delicious enough on its own: 🍸️ I think it would be a good pairing with strong flavors (not a side dish 🙂 ). (I'm not sure if it's a good pairing or not 🙇)

Kumamon One Cup purchased at Kumamoto Station on a trip to Kyushu in January. It's a jacket purchase 😙. It drove me to buy 💦. The taste is dry from clear. It also has an alu feel to it. The entrée was sea cucumber with grated ponzu and dumplings 🥟.

Since drinking at an izakaya on the first day of my trip to Kyushu in January Hana no Kaori 🍶. I opened a bottle of unfiltered raw sake that I had gotten for drinking at home 😙. Polishing ratio: Yamadanishiki, Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 50%. Alcohol content 15 degrees Celsius When the bottle is opened, it has the same melon-like ginjo aroma as the last time. When you drink it again, you can feel the fizziness and the sweetness in the acidity. It finishes with a nice bitterness ✨. Yes, like this 😄. The taste is my image of my favorite type of sake made with Yamadanishiki 😊. It's relatively easy to find in Kumamoto Prefecture because there are many stores that carry it, but it's a local brand so it's a shame we won't see it in other prefectures 💦. If I were greedy, I would like to compare it with the Yamadanishiki from the same brewery.

Purchased in Nagasaki City during a trip to Kyushu. I bought three bottles of Nagasaki sake in Nagasaki City, but this one was purchased without preliminary investigation. The mouthfeel is smooth, smooth and mellow. It has a sweetness like white sugar 🍶. We had it with oden and some senmaizuke pickles that my younger colleague bought for me as a gift from Kyoto 😊.

Hi, soumacho 😃. Umegae reminds me of the 🫢Umegae mochi at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, which was very tasty and surprising 🤔 I wonder if this is related to it.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😊. I also thought it was Fukuoka when I first saw it😅. The sake brewery is in Sasebo, so I'm not sure of the connection, but the Umekegae mochi comes from an anecdote about Sugawara Michizane. Of course it doesn't taste like plum nor rice cake 🫡.

When I took my wife to a bakery in Itoshima on a trip to Kyushu, I looked in the liquor store next door and found that it sold a variety of Shigemasu, but I was drawn to Gin-no-sato, which is made from sake brewing rice developed by Fukuoka Prefecture, and bought it. 100% Gin-no-sato produced in Yame Polishing ratio 50%. It has a fruity aroma, and in the mouth it has a freshness, a delicious rice flavor and softness, with an inconspicuous but latent sweetness that finishes with a spiciness. It is not the sweet and sour type that I like, but this sake is delicious 😄.

While traveling from Nagasaki City to Fukuoka City on a Kyushu trip, we passed through Kashima City and Ogi City in Saga Prefecture. Since it was a good opportunity, we welcomed Shichida, whose sake brewery is located in Ogi City 😙. Polishing ratio 75 100% Yamada-Nishiki The aroma is strong, and the acidity switches to the umami of the rice. The lingering aftertaste has an alkaline feel to it, making you realize you are drinking sake. However, it is not difficult to drink, but rather easy to drink. Before I knew it, I had already drunk 1 gou of sake, so I added another half gou 😁. The entrée was a mutsugoro (a kind of dried fish) that I bought at Kashima City. Crispy like a rice cracker 🍘. +I had it with harami and it was GOOD with meat 🥩.

When I visited Nagasaki City on a trip to Kyushu, I bought Fukkai, which I was curious about because it had been talked about on YouTube. I was not able to drink alcohol during my stay in Nagasaki City, so I drank it at home to vent my frustration (lol). It has a fruity aroma like pineapple 🍍 and a beautiful sweet acidity that finishes with a bitter bitterness. It is not sharp, well-balanced, and very easy to drink 😊. I drink it cold, but I got it and had it with a hot set of Tachiikawa Chestnut Manju 🌰. The day we bought it, there was a lantern festival in the city, so we went together.
