Osaka Prefecture. Takatsuki City. Kiyotsuru Sake Brewery Co. Kiyotsuru One Hundred and Sixty-Nine Year Old Sake Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake. A few weeks ago, when I had a weekday off, I decided to visit a nearby sake brewery in my spare time and went to Kiyotsuru. Last year I drank it at the Osaka Jizake Tenma Daijukai and it was one hundred and sixty-eight years old. This time, I bought a bottle of the now-only draft sake. By the way, Kiyotsuru, Kuninicho, and the Adachi Nojo brewery at Danchi Brewery can be easily visited by car. It is a narrow road that is difficult to enter by car, but if you enter the address in the picture in the navigation system, it looks like there is a parking lot. Kiyotsuru said that they have a brewery tour in February. I had a glass of cold sake. When poured into a glass, fine bubbles adhered to the glass. The color is clear and greenish yellow. The top aroma is slightly alcoholic and grain-like. The mouthfeel is fresh and thick. The taste is complex, with a hint of astringency, acidity, and graininess. It has a somewhat traditional flavor, but it is fresher than the fire-aged wines I have had before, so it is less classical and easier to drink. There's also a bit of spiciness on the palate, but the aftertaste is short. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio:60 Alcohol content: 16%.

Miyagi, Shibata-gun. Onuma Sake Brewery Ltd. Fuji Masamune Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo Masamune, I found it and bought it 😊. And the sake rice is Sake Mirai. The brewery is more famous for its Kenkunichi brand name 😁. I'll have it cold. The color is clear with just a hint of yellow. The top aroma is mild, with a slight lychee flavor. The mouthfeel is fresh and smooth with a juicy, flowing mouthfeel. The taste is sweetness wrapped in minerality that is immediately felt on the tip of the tongue, and then gradually spreads across the tongue with a richness and umami like brown sugar. The sweetness is wrapped in the refinement of Wasanbon, which remains on the tongue after swallowing. The sweetness and umami that gives a sense of juiciness and deep richness. Ah, it's still delicious 😋. Sake Mirai has an image of being a sake, but it has an atmosphere similar to that of Jyushidai. Nice Masamune again👍! Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Sake Mirai Polishing ratio:50%. Alcohol content: 15%.

Good morning, Sashu-san ☀I was attracted by the brand name Fuji Masamune and bought it, but later I realized it was from the Kenkunichi brewery 😅I was looking forward to it because it was unusual to use Sake Mirai, but I liked it more than I expected 😋.

Ueda, Nagano, Japan. Wakabayashi Brewing Co. Tsukiyoshino no Midori Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-jyu This is the first brand of Tsukiyoshino that we bought at the same time as "Jyurin" which we drank the other day. I will drink it cold. The color is clear and pale yellow. The nose has a refreshing aroma of green apple and a little citrus. The mouthfeel is clear and smooth. On the palate, a gentle sweetness spreads in the beginning, followed by a ripe fruit-like sweetness and umami after swallowing. The aftertaste is a bit astringent and acidic, followed by a full-bodied sweetness like dried fruit, leaving a core of richness that seems to entwine in the throat. The green color is made from Yamae Nishiki. The toji is Mami Wakabayashi, the second daughter of the brewery owner, who was trained at Shinshu Meizou. Ingredients: Rice, Rice Koji Raw material rice: Yamae-Nishiki produced in Nagano prefecture Polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 16%.

Matsuyama, Ehime. Mizuguchi Sake Brewery Co. Nikitatsu Junmai Ginjo-shu, Sakurahime yeast. 3㌥ purchased at the Sake Expo; the 4-pack bottles were already sold out. Speaking of which, I was told to come back to the event to drink Dogo beer and also beer, so I tasted almost all of it. I really appreciate it. I had it cold. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is of sweet tropical fruits, with a floral nose that stimulates the nostrils at the back. On the palate, it flows smoothly down the throat with a slight viscosity. The first taste has a rich honey sweetness, a brown sugar-like richness, and a fruity sweet flavor. All of the flavors are quite robust and rich. The floral aroma is followed by a slightly strong bitterness that lingers in the short aftertaste. Sakurahime yeast is extracted from a flower called delphinium, which has nothing to do with cherry blossoms. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15%.

I don't remember, but I tried it, liked it, and bought it. I drink it cold at room temperature. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is a citrus aroma surrounded by a dignified alcohol aroma. The mouthfeel is clear and slightly yellow. On the palate, acidity and a slight astringency spread across the tongue, and after swallowing, one senses citrus and yogurt-like acidity, with a creamy, orange-infused yogurt-like taste. The aftertaste is sharp, lively, and pungent, with a short finish. I like the interesting yogurt-like creaminess of the unique sourness of the sake's raw yeast yeast yeast. I thought it could also be served heated, but I'll have to do it soon, it's already spring. I thought it would go well hot, but if I don't get it warmed up soon, it will be spring already. When lukewarm to human skin warming, the bitterness settles down, but the creaminess is not so strong. The creaminess is not so strong. I liked it best at room temperature.

Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Umenomado Special Junmai 3㌥ I tasted and bought this at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. I actually had it yesterday, but since it is a special junmai, I compared the two. We will drink it cold. The color is clear and almost colorless. The top aroma is mild and not very noticeable. The taste has a robust rice flavor, sweetness, and a nutty, chocolate-like complexity. It is rich and mellow, but compared to Saka, it has a more traditional country-style flavor. The aroma on the nose is bitter and chocolatey. By the second day, the chocolaty flavor has settled down, and a clear, mineral, full flavor emerges, making it easier to drink.

Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Saka Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Zake. Purchased after tasting at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. Saka is a new brand, and is apparently better known as "Ume" (window plum). It is served cold. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is mild, with a slight hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth with a slight flocculation, and it does not feel fresh to the extent that it should. On the palate, there is a little bit of juicy acidity, a little bit of tangy alcohol, and a nutty, full flavor that spreads. The aftertaste is a bit of a sharp spiciness, with a slight throat hit after swallowing. I bought it thinking it would be sweeter and more umami, but it was surprisingly dryer than I expected. I may have fallen for a bit of tasting magic. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content:16

Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Shinshu Meisho K.K. Distributed by: Amagasaki Sake Tomoikai. Jyurin Special Junmai Sake On Sunday, Tokunoshima Festival was held at Amagasaki Station Park, and I attended it with my eldest son, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law who is from Amami. There was only brown sugar shochu available there, so I called bouken and asked him for a liquor store, and on my way home I dropped by and got this sake. It is a PB brand made by 10 professional liquor stores. It is a limited edition sake sold only at 10 liquor stores in Amagasaki. My expectations were also raised because it was made by Shinshu Meisho of Ding. We enjoyed it cold. When I poured it into a glass, there was a little bit of foam on the surface. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is mild, with a sweet fruity, pineapple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is round and smooth. There is not much gasiness. The taste is rich and mellow, with a pineapple-like sweetness. It has a freshness that is reminiscent of being directly pumped, a rich, deep fruitiness, and an aroma of apricots and dried fruits. The aftertaste is sweet like Wasanbon with a little almond at the end. This is also my favorite sweet and tasty type 😋.

Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Kikuhime Limited Partnership. Tsurunosato Nama-nare sake, Junmai-shu, limited edition. I had been curious about this limited edition sake for a long time. I bought it because I thought I had no choice but to drink it if it was a rich, umami-rich, unadulterated sake. The color of the label seems to change from red to gold to blue every year. This year's label is blue. I will drink it cold. The color is clear with a hint of yellow. The top aroma is faintly sweet apricot bean curd, slightly nutty, and lactic acid bacteria. In the mouth, it has a fresh, lively mouthfeel that is typical of nama sake. The taste is smooth and elegant, with a gentle sweetness that spreads smoothly on the palate, while at the same time being voluminous and milky, as is typical of Yamahai sake. The flavor is a mix of overlapping flavors that can be enjoyed for a while on the tongue. It is rich, umaguchi fresh, juicy and milky. Oh, it's so delicious! It's more than 90% umami, almost like it's made of umami. The alcohol content is 19%, so it comes on strong. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malted rice (domestic) Ingredient Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki from Yoshikawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture (special A district) Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 19

I couldn't choose one over the other... I will have it cold. When I opened the bottle, there was a small opening sound. The color is clear with a slight greenish tinge. The nose is gentle, with a hint of green apple. The mouthfeel is fresh and acidic. The palate is juicy, but not cloyingly so, with sweetness, freshness of fresh acidity, creamy richness, and umami, which change sequentially, and the acidity stimulates the tongue with a chilli. The finish is smartly bitter and astringent. The taste artistically changes from fresh sweetness and acidity to powerful richness and umami, and then to elegant bitterness. It's so good!

Are you missing something? So ❗️ Hentai, cha~jig ‼️⚡️ I was aiming for this drink when I saw the 🫶 director's review. Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. Mikawa Sake Brewery. Mai-bijin Junmai-shu MYVY It is served cold. The color is a dark reddish color. The color is like the red sake we drank before. The aroma is sweet and soy sauce-like, with a hint of burnt aroma at the back. The mouthfeel is viscous and syrupy. It has a presence of richness with a burnt acidity, sweetness like dried fruits and brown sugar, and a deep richness. There is also a caramel-like taste. The aftertaste of alcohol is like brandy, and the presence of MYVY lingers on the tongue forever. At the beginning and at the end of drinking...what is this? I thought. Why did they decide to make something like this? Crazy and awesome ❗️ I couldn't even drink half the glass... When I heated it up, the acidity was quite refreshing and the overall taste was mild. The taste is a little tangy on the tongue. It's easier to drink when heated. It became easier to drink after 2 days of opening the bottle.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in no time when the weather is getting better. Today, I dragged my sons to the cherry-back-wari-tsutsutsumi in Yawata, Kyoto, using ramen as bait. We opened a bottle of this sake, which has a cherry blossom-like spring feeling. I drank it cold. When the bottle is opened, you can hear the sound of gas when you loosen the cork. The bubbles rise to the surface and the cork is closed. After a while, it settles down with bubbles rising for the second time. The color is a white mist with a slight haze. The top aroma is a fresh fruity aroma with a hint of apple. The mouthfeel when the bottle is first opened is a fizzy, slightly sparkling wine that settles down rather quickly. The taste has a fresh sweetness, a refreshing acidity, and a well-balanced bitterness with a slight milky aftertaste. Oh, it's gone quickly after a gulp. I parked at the parking lot in front of the station, expecting to pay the maximum 770 yen, but was surprised to find it was 2000 yen. No max on Saturdays and Sundays...

On the way home, we stopped by Joyo Sake Brewery. Of course, this one was the real deal. I took my wife as a driver, and we went to the sales place to taste a lot of sake, but there were only two kinds, but the plums in front of the brewery were in full bloom and lovely. We had it cold. There was a short gasp when the bottle was opened. The color is a clear, almost indiscernible yellow. When poured into a glass, countless bubbles adhere to the glass and come up petite. The top aroma is mild, but there is a thick honey sweet aroma from the back of the bottle. The mouthfeel is pleasant, with just the right amount of gas that stimulates the tongue and elegant acidity. The taste is gentle but has a mellow umami with a strong presence, matched by a sweetness wrapped in acidity. It has a sweet mouthfeel with a calm fruity and umami flavor, but the acidity keeps the sweetness from lingering. This was also my favorite type.

Tasted at the Keihan Department Store Kuzuha Mall in Hokuriku sake fair, went to the bus stop and bought this sake back. We had it in a hiya. The color is clear with a slight greenish-yellow tinge. The top aroma has a strong alcoholic note with a caramel aroma at the back. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth, and the taste is elegant with a full flavor, followed by a gentle acidity that includes milky notes. I feel in love with this gentle acidity, and it is a gentler blend than Buffalin. Also, the taste is mild and unpleasantly bitter. It has a raw yeast-like character and is superbly balanced. Well, it is delicious! When served hot or warmed up, the thick umami and tangy acidity that stimulates the tongue become more pronounced, and the bitter bitterness on the aftertaste is refreshingly clean. When served lukewarm, it has a milky, caramel-like taste with a swelling umami and sweetness. The aftertaste is gentle and cohesive. It was good heated, but I think I like it best served hiya.

Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Yamazan Sake Brewery Co. Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi Gowari Gobu Light Nigori When we heard that the light nigori of Yamazan was available, we immediately went to the distributor and bought it. I went to a special distributor and bought it. We will drink it cold. When the bottle was opened, there was a small gas sound. Fine bubbles adhere to the sides of the bottom of the glass. The color is a silver mist that seems to be slightly cloudy. The top aroma is mild, with a slight malted rice and grain aroma. On the palate, there is a sizzling gasiness, but the taste has a clear peachy, thick fruitiness. Silky and sweet, with a bit of bitterness accented a bit on the aftertaste, but the fnish is light. Of Yamasan's 50-50s, this is my favorite so far 😋. Ingredients: Rice (Nagano), Rice malt (Nagano) Rice used: Hitogokochi 100% rice grown in Yaehara, Tomi-city, Nagano Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 15

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑯ The last stop was the Koshinotsuru booth, where I spent the longest time talking with the visitors. We joined in the promotion of the delicious and amazing sake to the visitors who came to the booth, and at the end, the brewer said thank you. I was taking pictures without thinking, but according to Mr. Bouken, there were some he didn't want me to post on SNS, so I voluntarily restricted myself from doing so. Fat Honjo It was delicious, with a gentle, mildly delicious taste at first and a clean aftertaste. Koshinotsuru (◯Koshinotsuru) The brewer said he would drink this sake in the end, and it is very tasty with a sense of sake but with a mild flavor. It is so cosy that if this one sells well, they can't sell the others. Koshinotsuru Tsuruhi Chishakusetsu Katsudo Nigori Sake It has a very high level of deliciousness. It is powdery, but has a nice sweet flavor. Koshinotsuru PREMIUM Junmai-shu Takane-nishiki, unfiltered It has a smooth and smooth taste, and is very tasty. Koshinotsuru Premium Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Gohyakumangoku A very well-balanced sweet/umami medium-bodied sake. All the flavors are well balanced. I was most impressed with this one.

I also drank a premium junmai daiginjo, a sake for the sake competition, and one that was polished to 21% and aged, all of which were delicious.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi. The reason why they are not allowed to upload on SNS is because they only serve Harukas and Sake no Jin, so they don't want local liquor stores to ask for them 😅.

Good morning bouken, I think we talked about something like that ☀... but I was too drunk to remember 🤣 breweries have many reasons 😅.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO 15 Refreshing A-Sakura label. Junmai Ginjo Yukinofu The aroma is a little sweet. The taste is also sweet and lacks a little impact, but it is delicious. I was allowed to drink a lot of Sakura, but I didn't take any pictures, so I only posted this one.
