This year, Kutouryuu Jungin Dareguchi was overshadowed by Kuroryu Jungin Dareguchi and could not be found at all! The Kutouryuu series is characterized by its high cost performance and the use of sake rice produced in Fukui! Last year, when we had a first contact with this sake, we were impressed by its rich and fresh melon flavor. ...... is a twist, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a bottle of sake that's been in production for 6 months.... I'm not sure I would have noticed the twist if I hadn't had the experience of drinking it. On a side note, the master of the liquor store told me that Kutouryuu's new autumn sake will be hiyaoroshi, which is a hiyaoroshi with a dripping mouth. Sounds sweet!

Today is a fine day in Fukui! So, we will have spring sake from Tsunezan! The spring and fall seasonal sake comes from "Eika Gingetsu," which means to love the season and enjoy it honestly, which is wonderful! Gingetsu is also very tasty! The sake rice is Sakahomare! It is a variety characterized by its elegant sweetness! Aroma like melon or peach when you drink it. The chili flavor supports the sweetness and is delicious! This spring sake is a perfect match for the cherry blossoms along the Ashiba River (and the sake brewery is close by)! (And it's close to a sake brewery.) p.s. Maybe it's because Tsuneyama's reputation for seasonal sake has grown this year, but the larger liquor stores were out of stock, so I had to make the rounds of the liquor stores to get my hands on some!

Good evening, Termat-san. I went on a trip to Fukui the other day and loved the cherry blossoms of the Ashiba River in full bloom🌸. This time I drank sake in the city, but if I have the chance to go back, I would love to enjoy Fukui's spring sake while admiring the cherry blossoms along the Ashiba River 😊.

Good evening, Maa-san! I was looking forward to seeing how you enjoyed your trip to Fukui! Various breweries are offering spring sake, so it would be fun to have a hanami banquet! Please come back to Fukui where you can enjoy seasonal sake while viewing the ocean in the summer, rice fields in the fall, and snow in the winter!

Good evening, Termat-san 🌛. Hanami-sake at "Tsuneyama" while viewing the cherry blossoms at Asaba Kawahara...very intoxicating🌸🍶. I was going to do some hanami-sake myself, but the timing wasn't right, so I'll complement it with Termat's photos ✨.

Good evening, Mr. Jive! The cherry blossoms along the Ashiba River are wonderful! I got to spend time with my guess sake, so it's eating into my life's best hanami sake 😳.

Takachiyo stocked up in Osaka! I've been waiting all week for this 😍 What's up with going down south to stock up on sake from the north? I'm not sure 🧐. Since it's an orikara, I'll start with the top clear...oooh! Bichishuwa! It's a dry carbonated juice! Next, I shook it well and drank it with ori. Well, it is a rice cider! The sweetness increases, and you feel like you are drinking a moderately dry carbonated beverage! It is dry but thick, and I felt the limit of my ability to express myself in this area! If I didn't have to worry about money and my liver cells, I would pour this into a mug, cool it down, and drink it while it lasts! I want to drink this in summer!

I've been drinking past sake on the day I took a break from drinking! I'm about to drink Kuroryu Ginpu. It had a gentle floral aroma! It was quite similar to Eshikoto's Sakahomare Special Junmai in the third picture (I forgot to put a detailed taste note here 🫨, incidentally, a memorial service). It is a light, sweet and bitter sake that goes in as easily as a clear stream, but it is the kind of sake you want to drink while calming down and exhaling a sigh. I guess it means that you should enjoy the rich sweet taste with a Kutouryuu-doroguchi.

It's been a while since I've had a regular Tsuneyama! I've been drinking a lot of sweet sake lately, so the fine dryness of Tsuneyama really hits home. ☺️ The aroma is somewhere between modern and classic, and when served cold, it is dry and easy to drink with little sweetness! The sweetness increases as it gets closer to chilled. A standard that shows off Tsuneyama's individuality! Should have been bottled in a 4-ounce bottle at least!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to the first one because of the good selection, but I was caught by the restaurant-only offer and went to Saku-san. As the description says, it has a gentle apple aroma, and it also goes in smoothly and elegantly. ☺️ It was hot today, so I was very satisfied with the refreshing sake! I hope to have Saku in my house someday!

A store with a good selection of sake at Osaka Station! Easy to come in and drink! Good place to have shigure for tsukidashi (Japanese hors d'oeuvre)! Fruity sake that goes in clear and smooth. ☺️ Not the sake for this price! Nabeshima is indeed a strong friend of restaurants!

Since I came all the way to Osaka! I started with a cold sake. It was dry and refreshing, and went down smoothly...but there was a distinctive bitter taste in my throat, which I might not like 🧐...like I was drinking shochu when I was supposed to be drinking sake? I was cold when I was drinking it. The bitterness comes to the fore ...... is this surprising? I don't have the vocabulary to describe this flavor, but it has a kind of herbal bitterness. Bitterness can have a negative aftertaste, but when it comes to the front, it has a delicious herbal liquor or coffee-like flavor. Maybe it is because I served it cold, or maybe it is because it was exposed to air...at any rate, I liked it better cold than cold sake.

I was on a trip but had time until errands, so I hurriedly went to Hanami Sake! We were able to stock up fruitfully at a liquor store that also sells sake by weight! I chose Ishizuchi for my first hanami sake! Because it uses flower yeast? It is fragrant and has a classic, orthodox sweet taste! It went well with Hanami!

What a first for me, Kikusui Funaguchi! I have always been curious about it. The price was high for me when I didn't drink sake, and when I started drinking sake, it wasn't in my price range. Before thinking about it, I decided to give it a try! When I opened the lid, I was astonished by the smell of nama-zake, which I often smell! When you drink it, you will be astonished by the taste of proper nama-shu (not cheap sake)! (It must be kumquat). After a while after opening the bottle, the bitterness of the high ales are noticeable, but it's not bad!

Wakasa Sake Brewery! Hayaseura The label is always sparkling and cool with the words "Hayaseura" on it! Well, this Hayaseura is a sake that has been loved by fishermen in Wakasa. The introduction says that this sake has been loved by fishermen in Wakasa, so one might imagine it to be a heavy sake, but my personal impression is that it is a light sake with no off-flavors. There is no unpleasant taste anywhere. I think it is one of the best examples of Fukui's food sake. Drink it with gusto! Urasoko is quite a strong fruity sake, but basically it is consistent with this light, sweet and spicy taste. Even cold sake has a flowery, mellow aroma. The flavor is moderate. The gentle sweetness of Sakahomare is well expressed in Hayaseura. However, it is probably too light for those who think Kuroryu Jungin (including other Hayaseura) is too light. The hurdle for mellow has been raised too high, and it may be light and dry.

I wanted a sake that would pair well with Kikuhime, so I chose Tetorigawa. This is the first sake made with Ishikawamon. The aroma is not very strong, but when you drink it, you can feel the nuance of pear. It is a very exquisitely designed, low-alcohol sake, but not too sweet, with an elegant and gentle sweetness probably derived from Ishikawamon, and although it has a sake level of 0, it is quite sharp and fragile, with a good sharpness. Although there is a sense that it might become too thin the moment it is watered down, thanks to the use of the original sake design, it is a gem that is neither too thin nor too thick, a model of sake that is not too thin nor too thick. It has the carbonation of a slightly carbonated beverage, and the pleasant sweetness and low alcohol content make it easy to guzzle if you are not careful, and you may end up with a bottle that tastes good but is quickly consumed. It is very delicate. It seems to reflect the delicacy of the sake rice. I would like to drink this bottle while devoting my tongue to sake as if I were admiring a flower. It was the exact opposite of Kikuhime, as I had hoped, and a good sake at the same time. Hokuriku sake may be affected by accessibility, but I hope it will be appreciated more 🥺. And above all, it is cheap. The price of the fourth bottle was 1,700 yen (excluding tax). Tedorigawa is cheap overall.

I don't want to compare it with other sake, but the goodness of the throat feeling may be influenced by the refreshing bitterness like a pilsner. In short, it is not sweet and spicy, but sweet and bitter (not the characteristic strong bitterness of Kuheiji Omachi).

Termat. This is a wonderful, unparalleled and overwhelming repo. This is exactly what Kikuhime and the pair are. I think that Mr. Yoshida is the best user of Ishikawa-mon.

Good evening, WOM! Interesting to hear about Ishikawa's unique sake rice! Yoshida-san's sake is definitely the best. I'll try Yoshida Kurau next time to compare our drinks!

The Chrysanthemum Princess is an explosion 🤯. This is the kind of sake my body was looking for! Rich seme smell! The rich sweetness! The acidity of Yamahai! Kikuhime is Yamahai! Yamahai is Kikuhime! Rich bitterness! Despite this, the clear liquid causes a huge explosion of umami on the tongue! Alcohol explodes! Post classic! Have you been drunk lately? Sake you can drink until you get crushed! (Alcohol in moderation!)

I was curious about this kijoshu! It's quite expensive, so we tried a small bottle. Not much aroma? It has a fresh sweet peach flavor when you drink it! The lack of acidity reminds me of Kuroryu. I think it is not as heavily sweet as I had expected. I was expecting a sweetness like Kutouryuu Doroguchi, but this area is diluted by adding water. I want the original sake version! I saw a post the other day about Kuroryu rethinking their brand, and the label of the kijoshu in the picture was now Kutouryu, so maybe it will taste different next time I drink it?

A sake brewery located in Yamanaka Onsen! Features a refreshing sake with no off-flavors! There was a paid drinking comparison! Mukaku The clean new sake Sake Mirai - a very clean food sake! I thought the Mirai would be appreciated with a meal, but if you compare it with the new sake without any snacks, you will be defeated by the richness of the flavor!

It's been a very long time since I've been to Hanagaki! I couldn't go to Kaga last week, so I couldn't get the Kikuyu I was looking forward to buying... My heart was stuck in a certain desire... I want to drink a big glass of sake. On my day off, I scoured the internet for information, and after much agonizing at the liquor store, I came across the Hanagaki Junmai Unfiltered Sake with Different Rice Series! I had never had Kame-no-o sake before, so I chose this one! Fruity aroma coming from the glass...☺️ When you hold it in your mouth...it's sweet! After that, strong acidity, high alcohol and astringency comes and finishes it off! Sweet and spicy! As expected of an 18% sake! I was actually put off by the price, but after tasting it, I made an immediate decision. I would like to buy other sake rice varieties if I see them. Kame-no-o, before drinking sake, I had no idea it was active in sake rice. It is mind-boggling to think that if this rice had not been found, Koshihikari would not have been born. I see that it is also in the Gohyakumangoku lineage.

After a few days, it becomes a slightly carbonated gourd-type drink! The astringency disappears and the taste is more universally liked. ☺️

First contact with a famous brand! But we will have it straight from the cup, out of respect for the fact that it is packed in a cup. Oooh! What a beautiful one-cup XXeki! LOL The retro rice sake feel is definitely in the backbone, but it's delicious to sip thanks to the clean sake quality! That simple girl who always cheerfully serves you at the bar is actually a pure actress! It's like that kind of sake. This sake is a good introduction for those who want to get used to retro sake and become a drinker!
