Hello. Thank you for drinking sake from my hometown, Minamiaizu Town!
Japanese>English
soumacho
Good morning, nabe 😃. Thanks for your comment 🙇. It was delicious 😄. I'd like to visit Minamiaizu town someday 🚗.
Japanese>English
nabe
There is not much to see in Minamiaizu, but the food is delicious. Recently, Minamiaizu was the setting of a novel by Haruki Murakami, and many people visit the town to make a pilgrimage to the sacred place. Please stop by by all means, even if you are visiting Aizuwakamatsu or Ouchi-juku.

I was a Carp fan when I was in elementary school, and I went to Hiroshima for the first time about 6 years ago, and I will definitely go back because there is so much to see and do, not to mention the food and drink.
Japanese>English
soumacho
Thanks for the reply, nabe 🙇. I'm a sucker for food, so I'm even more interested in Minamiaizu town... 😄 Hiroshima city is getting more and more crowded with redevelopment around the station. I'm also happy and sad to see the Carp every day, so please do visit 😊.

Sake from a sake brewery in Maniwa City in northern Okayama Prefecture🍶. Maniwa City is home to the Hiruzen Plateau. Katsuyama area where the brewery is located is far away from Hiruzen area though 😅. I haven't been there recently 😗. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 16 100% Omachi rice produced in Okayama Prefecture (unmatched rice) Omachi is the name of Okayama Prefecture. It has a strong acidity and rice flavor, and is juicy as well 😄.

After the second restaurant, we went to the restaurant of the general where I had a casual drink with my juniors before 😀 . We had originally planned to drink at the owner's restaurant, but on this day, there was a reservation for a group and we were informed that it was open, so we moved 🏃. The first of the three restaurants was Haneya. It has been a long time since I have had Toyama sake😄. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15%. Sake rice is Hachitan-nishiki, Hiroshima's best rice for sake brewing. I haven't had it since Kamo Kanehide 🤔. Fruity, sweet and delicious. I have the impression that it is well-balanced with the addition of acidity 😊. Looking back at the label, I see that Haneya is usually concerned with Toyama sake rice, so I'd like to try it with Toyama sake rice too 😙.

The second last house is Mimuro Cedar 🍶. I've been curious about this place for a while and finally had a drink 😃. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 degrees Rohafu is Nara Prefecture's rice suitable for sake brewing It has a clean acidity from the umami taste and a spiciness at the end. My younger colleague had another Mimuro-Sugi in the past and said this one was also spicy. I would like to try many kinds of Mimurosugi.

There was a Hokkaido sake I hadn't had yet, so I ordered Niseko. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. They use Comet, Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing: ☄️ Sake rice I don't know is exciting😄. The taste is sweet from the rice, but it is rather light. The finish is slightly dry 🍶. Not flashy, but not bad 😊.

I've always been curious about the sake that was reviewed when I first started Sakanowawa. I never had a chance to try it, but I finally did 🍶. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. The aroma is gorgeously fruity, the taste is sweet and delicious, there is a gassy feeling, and the acidity is pleasant and crisp. This is delicious 😊. Not a strong personality, but a good balance of sweet, umami, and acidity. It is truly light ✨. Why haven't I had this before? I failed to take a picture of the only bottle that day 💦💦 I'm doing a lot of things 😅. Why? It was so delicious.

It was getting close to the time for the restaurant we had reserved 🍶 so we went to the second restaurant 🍶. We met up with the other members and it was time to get down to business😃. The first bottle at the second restaurant was Kozaemon's Sushi Label 🍣. Polishing ratio 65 15% alcohol by volume 100% Yamadanishiki It has been quite a while since I have had a sake from Gifu. It has a delicious rice flavor and acidity. It also has a nice sharpness. I had it with sashimi and sushi and it went well with them as the label says 🍣. Can't stop drinking sake with fish ✨.

The first two bottles were at Harada 🍶. Polishing ratio 60 16% alcohol by volume 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Yamaguchi prefecture This sake is from Shunan City. When I was wondering which one to buy, Nakajimaya or Shunan City sake, I gave up and will have this one this time 😊. Fresh acidity and a hint of sweetness, with a slightly dry and dry aftertaste.

Yesterday, I had a drink with my juniors in Hiroshima City after a long absence 🍻. I was pretty busy at the beginning of the fiscal year and finally settled down. It was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m., but one of my juniors called me and asked if I wanted to have a drink first. So we went to a different restaurant than the one we had reserved 🍶. They have a lot of Yamaguchi sake, and I chose one I hadn't had yet. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 The mouthfeel is clear and watery, with a refreshing acidity and a spiciness that comes later, making it easy to pair with meals. It is not like many sweet Yamaguchi-shu 😄.

I bought it when I stopped by Oita City on my way back from Miyazaki and Minami-Kyushu in Kagoshima because the label was so nice 🚗. Following the Sentoku I bought in Miyazaki, this one was also a collaboration sake with a liquor store, so I felt like I got something out of it😇. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16 The image on the label makes it look like a gorgeous modern type of sake, but on the contrary, the aroma is gentle, and the spiciness comes in gently like water, and then it quickly dies down 😊. It's dry but easy to drink, and before you know it, it's gone from the cup and you'll be drinking more 💦. For the entrée, I grilled the striped horse mackerel (🐟️) I bought in Oita, served it with Kagoshima satsuma-age (fried fish cake) and Miyazaki peanut tofu. The striped horse mackerel brings out the flavor and the satsuma-age brings out the sweetness. It is a sake that is easy to pair with food 🍶 as a food sake 😋.

Good evening, soumacho 😃. Is this a square bottle? I like the dry and easy to drink 😙I only drink Oita sake at home, so this will be helpful for me 🤗.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃. It sure looks like a square bottle 😳 The bottle is a regular four-pack 😄 The way you take the picture changes the way it looks, doesn't it? I too had only met Chiebijin for Oita sake 🍶 so I'll definitely refer to it 😊.

I got this sake when I visited Miyazaki City on a trip the other day🍶. This GUUONE is a joint development of Sentoku Shuzo and Toshiro Kono Sake Brewery. I'm a sucker for limited editions and the box was nice, so I bought it✨. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15 My first Miyazaki sake. The aroma is gorgeous, like a pear. The taste is rich sweet like honey but flows smoothly. A sweet type of sake😊. The entrée is bonito belly skin which is eaten in Kagoshima that was introduced on Kenmin Show a while ago 🐟️ and Satsumame. It was my first time to try bonito belly skin grilled with salt, but it was more fatty than mackerel, and it goes well with sake and rice 🍶🍚.

Good evening, soumacho! Congratulations on your first Miyazaki sake 🎉! My first Miyazaki sake was also from Sentoku 🎵. Bonito belly skin, huh 😲. I have the impression that it would go well with sake 😋. Have a relaxing and enjoyable drinking time 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki 😃. I couldn't find any Miyazaki sake in the vicinity, so I was determined to get it and go home👍. There are still unknown ingredients and delicacies lying around the region! The belly skin is a repeat 😋.

The last stop in Miyazaki was at the moon after the rain. It is a local Hiroshima sake 🍶, but don't hesitate 😊. Polishing ratio koji rice 60%, kake rice 65 Fresh aroma and sweetness of rice on the palate. It has a fresh aroma and sweetness of rice on the palate with umami of rice. The sharpness is excellent. ⚔️ The entrée was gari tomatomalacchio and scallops with butter (with rice). The sweetness of the garri and the acidity of the tomatoes go well together after the rain👌. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't carry Miyazaki sake, but I made sure to get some for drinking at home ✨.

The second bottle in Miyazaki was Banshu Ikkan. This is the first time I have encountered it since the Junmai Daiginjo. It has a fresh lychee-like aroma, a moderate sweetness and mellowness, and then it finishes with a spiciness. Junmai was also delicious 😄. Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 15 Once again, I feel that this aroma is the characteristic of Banshu Issen 🍶. For my entrée, I had kangaroo meat sashimi for the first time in my life and fried mehikari (a local delicacy) 🐟️. The mehikari is soft and fluffy and delicious, The mehikari was soft on the bone, edible as it was, and plump and delicious. Still, the meat sashimi was a great pairing with the Banshu Issen 😁. My wife stopped me from ordering, but I will keep coming back to Kangaroo in the future 😋.

Hi soumacho 😃 I'm sure you're right about the sake 🍶 even in Miyazaki, the shochu kingdom 👍The deep fried Mexicali is delicious 😋 and the kangaroo 🦘_95 and the meat sashimi 😳I'm sure your legs will get stronger after eating it😄! What a kangaroo 🦘⁉️ and meat sashimi 😳I'm sure your legs will get stronger after eating it😄!

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃. The Mexicali was delicious 😋. It was fresh because Hiroshima has more opportunities to eat small sardines, puffer fish and octopus in fried seafood. Kangaroo is also delicious here without any smell or hardness 🦘.

Moving on from Kagoshima City, we had a store drink in downtown Miyazaki City this evening 🍶. Shochu is the kingdom of Japan, but we chose sake here too. We had Chiebijin! Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 15 The taste is sweet and mellow, not unlike junmai. It was paired with a char-grilled Tsumajidori chicken (a brand name bird from Saito City) and raw green peppers🐔. I ate the raw green pepper with salted kelp and mayonnaise, and it went really well with the sweetness of the chiebijin👍. Tomorrow I'm going back via Oita, so I'm planning to get some Chiebijin if I can 🤔.

The second bottle on the Kagoshima trip was a Junmai Ginjo from Tenpyo. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 Junmai is more fruity and refined with added richness 🍶. Junmai was delicious, but this is delicious too😊. I prefer Junmai Ginjo to Junmai for Tenpyo 😄. The entrée was yakitori🐔 and pork shabu shabu🐷. It was a good pairing as it neutralized the fat ✨. The food was so good that I honestly go to Kagoshima to eat at this restaurant💦💦🚗.

After GW and Kami finished work last night, we went to Kagoshima City 🚗. We went to a restaurant we went to 6 years ago and loved it so much that we go there every time we go to Kagoshima City. They have a pretty good selection of shochu, but we didn't cheat and of course went for sake 🍶. Polishing ratio 60 15% alcohol by volume It has a banana-like sweetness and softness. It finishes with a slight bitterness, but it is easy to drink and delicious 😊. We served it with local delicacies: kibinago sashimi, tori sashimi, and pork tonkotsu. The combination with kibinago is so delicious👍.
