The last one is No.6. I really wanted to drink typeX, but it was out of stock, so I drank typeS today. The sweetness, umami of rice, and balance are well balanced, and the perfection is high. I felt the acidity most strongly in the lineup I drank today. I had "Nameko" as a topping. There were many customers at the restaurant, perhaps because it was the season for year-end parties, and I could not talk much with the owner, who seemed to be very busy. We enjoyed a good meal and good drinks and my family was very satisfied ✨✨.

Jay & Nobby, thank you for taking the time to check out our various postings 😊. When we go out for a drink, there are so many brands to choose from that we have a hard time posting them, but thanks to Sake-no-Wawa, we can enjoy them twice as much when we drink and record them. I also enjoy your reviews.

80% Hachitan-Nishiki, 20% Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio 60 We wanted to drink this last month, but we couldn't because it was out of stock. According to the owner, it is extremely popular among foreigners, who come to the store to get it, and it is always sold out. It is no wonder, as it was the beginning of my sake swamp. The taste is consistently sweet and delicious. After drinking Jikin, finish with rice with eggs produced in Mukohara-cho, Akitakada City. ‼️ It's the best! (I ended up drinking one more glass...)

Good evening, soumacho. I got into the sake swamp with Jikin and ended up with egg on rice 🍚. Exactly the same 🎵 Jikin and the finishing TKG are both great 😊. I'm curious about the glimpse of No.6 next to the Jikin✨

Thank you so often, ma-ki-😄🙏. Rice after drinking feels exceptionally good ✨✨✨🍚. But I got greedy and ended up with No.6 😁. I can't stop drinking and eating good food👍

Hiran神楽生酛原酒

The last time I couldn't drink it, but the owner recommended the "Hiran". I had it today✨ I was getting very drunk, but I can still dance! (crisp). 100% Yamada Nishiki Refreshingly fruity and easy to drink, with a sourness that spreads out from the fruitiness. For some reason, my daughter and I got into an English conversation while drinking Hiran and I couldn't keep up 💦. I am so sorry I didn't take learning English seriously 💦. I spent some of my childhood living in Matsuura City, next door to Hirado City where Mori Sake Brewery is located, so Nagasaki has a bit of a special feel to it. The fan lobster from Hirado is delicious!

100% Yamada-Nishiki Polishing ratio 55 This is also a first for me. I have had melon, pineapple, and apple flavors in fruity sake before, but this one is grapey 🍇, a true Muscat. Of course my lack of experience with sake is partly to blame, but I had never tasted this flavor before ✨✨. Yamadanishiki still has a lot of depth 🤔.

This is also Mutsu Hachisen, which I was interested in after reading a review by one of the people at Sake-no-Wawa. This is the first time I've had it, but I got it from the MIXED series. Polishing ratio 75%. Apple aroma, high alcohol content of 19 degrees, but very dry 😄. I have never been a fan of dry sake, but I wonder if I'm being trained or if Hachisen is just good.... I still need to study more. The appetizer was tempura of koi sardine, a Hiroshima staple. The entrails are processed and opened, so it was different from the koi sardine tempura we usually eat, without the bitterness ✨✨. But the bitter taste of koi sardine is delicious in its own way, and this koi sardine tempura was excellent. ‼️ Thanks to the owner for taking the time 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Hey, soumacho 😃! You can't go wrong with Hakusen 😋The fruitiness of their dry sake is so good, it's like you've been trained to drink the good stuff 😙. I'm sure you'll enjoy the time and effort that goes into making a good restaurant 🤗.

Thank you too, Jay & Nobby 🙇. Sake never ceases to amaze me with its repertoire of flavors 😅. But that's the good part😊. There were so many other dishes, and I couldn't stand any of them (I forgot to take pictures 💦)

I was curious about Toyobai because of someone's review on Sake no Wa. I just had a freshly squeezed bottle 😙. 55% koji rice, 60% kake rice It is fresh and has a moderate sweetness and flavor, as is typical of nama-shu. The taste is fresh, moderately sweet and umami, and then it starts to become dry and refreshing. I served it with dashimaki tamago-yaki (fried egg) ✨✨. It's good 😄!

Good evening, soumacho. I also had a bottle of Toyobai Junmai Hatsushibori ⤴️ But it was only a tasting. I remember it was very tasty, sweet to dry, just like that ✨. It looks like it would go well with a meal as well 😊.

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-san😄. Actually, Toyobai is a brand I was interested in after reading your review 🍶. I also got Mutsu Hachisen as a reference and we had it together👍. Thanks again 🙇.

Machida Sake Brewery, which I wasn't sure whether to order when I saw it at different stores. The last time I visited the store, it was not available, so I ordered it without hesitation. I was told that it is an original product with the Hiroshima sake store, Sake Sho Yamada, The brewer does not want us to drink it on spec, so it is not open to the public. The aroma was not that noticeable, and when I drank it, I found it to be dry and sharp 🍶.

Shinshu Kamerei, which we received last month. We received an unopened bottle of this season's new sake. It is fresh and has a good flavor of rice. It is still delicious ‼️, and we don't get to see it often, but I would like to try another spec. The sashimi was yellowtail, sea bream, and tiger prawns. My daughter is shrimp crazy 💦. But the combination is unbearable.

Last month, I went to a restaurant for a casual drink with a junior colleague from my office. The first bottle was Urasato. Hitanishiki, Polishing ratio 50%. It has a sweet aroma, but when you drink it, the sweetness is not strong, but the umami of the rice expands, and then it finishes with a lingering finish that does not linger.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😊. I actually wanted to drink the snowman, so I asked the owner and he said it was coming in but not yet, and they were out of Houou Mida, so I chose the Urasato ✨.

I bought it because of its nice label. This is the first time to taste it. Polishing ratio 70%. The aroma is not strong but fresh. In the mouth, there is a strong sense of gas, a full flavor of rice, acidity, and a little bitterness to finish. This is delicious. This morning, the mountains visible from my house were covered with snow for the first time this season. So the label says to pair it with a glass of wine and cheese, but it went down a gut with oden. ‼️Summisen🙇💦💦. But it went well 🎵

Good evening, soumacho. This is the sake I gave up taking home yesterday and I'm jealous ✨. It's so tight and tasty. ⤴️ I hope to get some next year 😊. Sake with oden is the best 🍶.

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-san😄. I saw the name Chiebijin mentioned in ma-ki-san's introduction of Kome-no-hana yesterday, so I was drinking and commented on it (lol). The oden was full of immorality, but the combination was ◎.

Another brand of Kiyamasa Shuzo, known for Jikin. Yamada-Nishiki, Polishing ratio 45 The aroma is slightly ginjo, and when you drink it, you will find that it is different from Jikin's boldly sweet and delicious flavor, but rather light with a hint of sweet and sour, and then it finishes with a bit of spiciness. I had heard about it, but it is amazing that sake made by the same brewer can be so different from Jikin. It's quite easy to drink and I finished the entire bottle 💦. The entrée was fried oysters and yudofu. In winter, boiled tofu is a great way to enjoy sake at a reasonable price.

Good evening, soumacho. Takasago looks delicious ⤴️ Actually, I got a Takasago with a different label too and have it in my cellar ✨. I love Jigon, so I'm looking forward to enjoying the difference between the two 😊Yu-tofu is the best, isn't it?

Good morning, ma-ki- 😀 Thanks for your comment ✨ Jishin was the reason I got into it and when I saw Takasago, I jumped on it. I'm looking forward to your review of Takasago now 😄.

Kinuya is a supermarket in the San'in region, centered in Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture, and extending west to Hagi City and east to the Iwami region. Sumikawa Sake Brewery has produced a sake exclusively for Kinuya. The mark under the Junmai Ginjo on the label is the Kinuya mark. There is only one store in Hiroshima City in the Sanyo region, and my wife picked it up while she was shopping 😊. The surprising thing is the cosmetics. It is a Junmai Ginjo with a 50% rice polishing ratio, 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hagi City. A four-pack bottle with these specs costs around 1,200 yen without tax (if I'm wrong, I'm sorry 🙏 ). The mouthfeel is fruity and sweet like a melon. It has a full-bodied taste, and it seems to penetrate the body gradually. Easy to drink and reasonably priced, this sake is easy to recommend to those who are not accustomed to drinking sake.

Good evening, soumacho. I'm so jealous that you can buy Toyo Bijin at the supermarket ✨. I had a variety of mondo ichizuko this year, and I remember they were all really good 🎵. I would like to drink more of this brewery's sake in the future 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃. Toyo Bijin is not only delicious, but I appreciate its stable availability 🍶. I was shocked to find Sanuki Kuraudei at a 7-Eleven in Tokushima City during my recent trip to Shikoku 💦.

Purchased in Kochi City during a trip to Shikoku. I wanted to buy a sake made with CEL-24 yeast to take home with me when I bought Kochi sake, and after much deliberation, I bought Tosa Shiragiku, which had a fashionable label. I got curious and looked up that the label design was of a flower called Iberis, which is called "Candytuft" (a bunch of sugar candy). Now, let's taste it. The rice polishing ratio is 55%. The aroma is fruity and pineapple-like, typical of CEL-24 yeast. The taste is sweet and sour with a strong acidity. It is an easy-drinking sake with a gorgeous sweet taste that slowly permeates the palate. It is my personal favorite taste.

Purchased in Tokushima City during a trip to Shikoku. When I researched Tokushima sake before my trip, I was curious about this brand because it is a small brewery with an annual production of only 40 koku, so it would be rare for me to see it, but if I did, I would buy it. Junmai (pure rice) with a rice polishing ratio of 70%. This is fire-aged sake. This time it was served at room temperature. The aroma is not that strong, and the color is a solid gold. It tastes like grain on the palate. It is rich and powerful, but not spicy. We had it with hot pot today, but it can be enjoyed with meat or fish without interfering with the meal. This is the type of sake that is delicious even when served warmed. It may not be the taste of today, but it is a good sake. The best part of sake is that you can taste many different flavors with just rice and water.

Good morning, soumacho! It's a quintessence that you've done your preliminary research and made a list before your trip: ⤴️ I have not been able to find Tokushima sake, but I remember my first Tokushima sake was delicious here ✨I would like to drink it at home someday 😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-😃. Thanks for your comment. I really want to buy as many as I can... (lol) I have a plan on how many I will buy when I go out, but I usually end up buying more than I planned 😵.

OCEAN99 that I kept in stock. I saved it for my enjoyment and drank it today, albeit belatedly. It has a subtle sweet aroma. It has a well-balanced acidity and sweetness with a hint of gas. The aftertaste is as calm as the label describes. The other day, I couldn't resist and ended up having some Denshikiku at the store, but the OCEAN99 series is also quite delicious 🍶. No wonder Kangiku is so popular ✨✨.

Polishing ratio 50%. Purchased when stopping in Kochi City on a trip to Shikoku. The bottle was labeled to warn against opening the bottle, but when I opened it and poured it, it came out of the bottle with a melon-like aroma and a sizzling sound in my cup. When I drank it, I could feel the fizziness and sweetness, but it was not too sweet, and the balance was beautifully balanced, settling down smoothly. It is easy to drink and quite to my liking. I also drank the nigori portion, which added to the richness of the sake and made it twice as enjoyable 🍶.

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.
