I had drunk Bakuren before starting Sake-no-wa, and I wanted to drink it again. Polishing ratio 55 As soon as you drink it, it has a spiciness including a tangy rice taste and a dry aftertaste. It is a dry sake that leaves a lasting impression with a strong impact. I've had Kudokibe Jr from the same brewery, but it's the exact opposite taste 😳. I took a picture next to the label too, but it was blurry💦.

I chose Aizu Nakasyo, which I wanted to drink after the Miyagi sake comparison. Polishing ratio 60 It is well-balanced and a little different from the other sake we drank this time, with a dry and slightly spicy aftertaste. I personally prefer this unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. Sake is a very deep 💦. I still have a lot to learn and experience 🤔.

Miyagi Sake Comparison (3) Although unfiltered, this sake is not heavy, but rather fresh, light and easy to drink, making the most of the raw sake. I believe the sake for glasses is made by the same brewer, Hagino Shuzo, isn't it? I saw it at a liquor store and was quite curious about it, so I would like to meet and compare them someday. 👓️ I wear contact lenses outside but glasses at home: 👓️

Miyagi Sake Comparison Part 2 Polishing ratio 60 This is the first time for us. It is a delicious sake with good balance and sharpness. I've been drinking a lot of sharp sake this time 💦.

My companion, who is not into sake, drank the Hakurakusei she ordered and said it was delicious and made her want to drink Miyagi sake, so she ordered the Miyagi sake. So, we had a comparison of Miyagi sake (1). Polishing ratio 55 This is also the first Atago no Matsuri since our trip to Sendai a year ago. After the super-harsh Ona, this one also makes good use of its spiciness, and is fresh and crisp with a touch of acidity. I want to visit Sendai again 🥺. Musubi Maru in the picture is a bottle of Atago no Matsumatsu one-cup 🫙, a souvenir from my trip to Sendai.

I learned about Ona from a review by a lover of Tochigi sake from Sake-no-Wawa. This time, I had it in stock, so I had to drink it and ordered it. Polishing ratio 60%. Made from rice suitable for sake brewing grown in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture. It is written as "super dry," so it is very spicy 🍶 and the acidity adds a sharpness. It is easy to pair with anything, including tempura and heavy foods. ‼️

A sake brewery located in Hiroshima City. I was not familiar with Aki Ward because it is far from my hometown, even though it is in the same municipality, but there was a tasting event held in the basement of a department store. 100% Senbon-Nishiki (produced in Hiroshima Prefecture) Polishing ratio 60 Senbon-Nishiki is Hiroshima's preferred rice for sake brewing. It was easy to drink with a refreshing taste and not too heavy. I would like to drink it slowly at home next time 😃.

New Year's party among colleagues at work. As last month, we went to a restaurant owned by a general who knows a junior colleague. It was my 100th check-in for some reason, and I chose Hakurakusei, the sake that got me hooked on sake 🍶. It is fresh, acidic, and has a nice sharpness. I haven't had it in a year, but it's a good sake to complement a meal 😙. It was delicious again ✨✨.

This is the first rice wine I've had since Micro Bubble in September. 100% Yamada-Nishiki Polishing ratio 55 The aroma is subtle and fruity. The mouthfeel has the umami of rice and gentle sweetness typical of Yamadanishiki, and it finishes smoothly with a slight bitterness. The previous effervescent rice wine was also delicious, but this special junmai is great both with food and on its own. ‼️😙

I was curious about the zodiac bottle🐍 at Sakewa. 100% Manzai rice produced in Okazaki Polishing ratio 55 Gorgeous aroma. In the mouth, the fresh, umami taste of the rice spreads, and the acidity comes out. The bitter taste then finishes with a sharp taste. We enjoyed it with a special dish of hot tofu 😊.

The other Sunday. Kami, who had her sights set on an out-of-state bakery, left early in the morning to visit a bakery in Higashinada-ku, Kobe 🚗. From there, we went to a liquor store in Nagata-ku, which is open on Sundays, and got a bottle of Banshu Issen, which I had wanted to try. It is made from Hyogo Prefecture's sake brewing rice, Hyogo-Kitanishiki, with a polishing ratio of 50%. The rice is milled using a method called "shagin milling," which means that the rice is not milled according to the length and width of the conventional milling process, but rather the thickness is milled to flatten the rice. The bottle opens with a sipping sound and a lychee-like aroma. When you drink it, the sweetness, sourness, and umami are well balanced, and it finishes with a bit of bitterness. This is delicious and to my liking😊. The entrée is steak with guts🥩. After getting sake, we went shopping in Inamicho. The picture is of Himeji Oden and a golden post box instead of a snack afterwards when we stopped in Himeji. I wanted to drink sake with oden 💦💦😅.

Hi, soumacho 😃 Just in time from early morning bread🍞 activity 😆 sake🍶 activity ‼️ Win-win shopping for you and your wife 🚗🤗. I would rather have oden as a snack than a treat 😋.

Thanks for the comment, Jay & Nobby 😄. Since we went there at the last minute, we won't just roll over 😁. Himeji Oden is eaten with ginger soy sauce, it has a broth and is twice as tasty without it on.

Last Tuesday, I was at the liquor store wondering what brand to buy as usual, when I saw the store owner putting this sake in the fridge. Okay, I'll go with this one 😙. It was made in January, and at the time of purchase, it was less than a week after the start of the New Year. I had a hard time buying Ishizuchi on my trip to Shikoku last year. Polishing ratio 60%. Sake rice is 100% Matsuyama Mitsui from Ehime Prefecture. The sake rice is grown only in Ehime Prefecture. It has a sweet ginjo aroma, but it is not that sweet in the mouth, and the flavor of rice can be felt softly, followed by a dry finish. It is a rather light and dry type of sake, and as the label says, it is suitable for a mealtime drink. Ika-ten (squid tempura) was served as a snack, and it was delicious ✨.

Hi soumacho 😃 Our first Ehime sake was also from Ishizuchi. Our first Ehime sake was also from Ishizuchi, Sandesi, which we bought at the product center 😊I'd like to buy a four-pack this time and enjoy it at home 🤗.

100% Omachi I had been holding off on purchasing this until New Year's, and my stock had run out due to New Year's drinking, so I went to a liquor store that was open on New Year's. I did not see any zodiac labels, etc. I couldn't find any zodiac labels, so I bought Sawaya Matsumoto, which I had wanted to try. When I opened the bottle, it made a nice sound. The freshness, rice flavor, and acidity were well balanced with a hint of gas, and the lingering alcohol taste and slight bitterness could be tasted as the drink went on😊. Fitting homemade hamburger ‼️ We'll be eating a lot more of these together in the future✨

Sake that I had stocked up on for New Year's 🍶. We've been looking forward to opening the bottle ✨. Polishing ratio 40 The pleasant ginjo aroma and fruity sweetness and umami on the palate flows into a mellow, full-bodied aftertaste. It is just beyond deliciousness. It is a great drinking experience. My wife scolded me for "drinking too much ‼️" when I was drinking it with my brother. I was working until today without taking a day off during the New Year's holidays, so forgive me 😅💦💦.

This is another sake 🍶 that we stocked up on for New Year's. I never thought the day would come when I could drink Jikin at home 😙. 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. It is so fruity and easy to drink that it is hard to believe that it is fire-aged. It is sweet and delicious. I paired this with a crab hot pot 😄. I'm glad my brother roared at how good this was👍.

Happy New Year 🎍. We look forward to another year of drinking life🙇🙇. This is a local sake that my wife prepared for New Year's Day. Polishing ratio 70%. The taste started with caramel and nuts, then softened and expanded. It has gold leaf in it, but I didn't mind because it is tasteless (laugh). We had it with sushi at a family gathering 😊.

One holiday morning in December. My wife suddenly said, "Let's go to a bakery in Okayama Prefecture," and we went to Satosho Town in the western part of Okayama Prefecture. After the bakery, we went shopping and went to a liquor store in Asakuchi City to buy some Okayama sake to take home. The owner of the liquor store was friendly and after talking with him for a while, he recommended Winter Moon 🌙. The first shipment of this sake came out, and I was given a chance to smell the aroma of both the Arabashiri and the regular one, and although I found the regular one more fruity, I bought the Arabashiri, which had a stronger aroma. Polishing ratio: Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 58 Okayama Hakuto yeast The rice is made from Okayama Prefecture's Akihikari rice, called satoumi rice, which uses oyster shells as a soil conditioner. When we drank it, it had a freshness and chiliiness typical of nama-shu, and from there acidity, bitterness, and umami were mixed in. It was easy to drink and went down smoothly. I am looking forward to seeing how the flavor changes after the second day 😙. I served it with Hokkai shimabi-ebi and koganezuke (golden pickles).

Hi soumacho 😃 I wonder what kind of bread 🍞 you are going out of your way to buy 😍I would stop by a liquor store if you go out 🤗I'm curious about Winter Moon 🌙 but haven't tasted it yet 🥲I'll buy it when I find it!

Good morning, soumacho. I too am curious to know what kind of bread you went all the way to find: ⤴️ And I'm sure it's also great that you're not too busy with your drinking 🎵. I'd like to try the winter moon 😊.

100% Hakutsuru-Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Polishing ratio 30%. Polished. I had drunk a bottle of "Bakerun" before starting Sake-no-wa, and it made quite an impact and left a strong impression on me. This was my first time to try Kudokidote from the same brewery. I had heard that Kudokidote was sweet, so I was looking forward to it. The aroma was fruity. The mouthfeel was gassy and pear-like sweetness flowed smoothly. The label says it is not too sweet, but I like it 😄. I can enjoy it on its own, and Kamenoi Shuzo makes me want to try many different kinds of sake 🎵.

I've been sick since about last Thursday and had been cutting back on drinking, but in the last couple of days I've finally gotten back into shape and can enjoy a good drink. It's been a while since I opened a bottle at home. First Hanamup. It is 100% Rikuwada, which is said to be Hana Yuu's representative rice. The rice polishing ratio is 55%. It has a faintly gorgeous sweet aroma, and when you drink it, it has a mellow sweetness and is juicy, but in the latter half, you can feel the sake and it finishes well. Even though it is 55% junmai, it is a junmai sake with this sweetness. It may be similar to Toyo Bijin in taste 🤔. Fitting Mimigar. It is good as a food sake or on its own 😊.

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 ✨✨.
