Okunoto no shiragiku#能登の酒を止めるな! オリジナルレシピ酒特別純米

Don't stop Noto's sake! This is a collaborative effort between Noto's stricken breweries and sake breweries from all over Japan, initiated by the Yoshida Sake Brewery in Tedorigawa. This time, Yoshida Shuzo of Hakuryu in Fukui brewed a bottle based on an original recipe by Shirakiku in Okunonoto. It has a strong throat from the delicious sweetness of the rice. The bitterness at the end is especially Shirakiku's. It is made from Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki.

Stop #noto sake! Crafan Sake. It's really tough situation with the earthquake and flood, but I hope farmers and brewers will do their best. We will support them by drinking quietly. Here is an original recipe of Oeyama by Mr. Toji Hoshino of Gunma's Tsuchida Sake Brewery, pretending to be the toji of Noto's Matsunami Brewery. Oeyama with a gusto! It was delicious. Delicious. It is a drink of the past.

The Kazuma Sake Brewery brews with rice from Noto that is equivalent to six times the size of the Tokyo Dome. The rice that could not be brewed due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake was consigned to sake breweries across Japan, not to mention local breweries. We stocked several bottles that were available locally. Gohyakumangoku is brewed by Okazaki Sake Brewery in Kamerei, Shinshu. After all, muscat aroma? The sweetness from the muscat aroma, it is Kamerei. Delicious. This time, the rice fields where sake rice is produced were severely damaged by flooding. We can only drink it, but we would like to support them.

Purchased at Nagano Station MIDORI Shinshu Kurado. Kikusui, a rare sake from Nanshin. It is also famous for its significant contribution to the revival of Takananishiki. It is a refreshing sake, which is rare among recent Shinshu sake, with a rich taste of rice, a little sweetness, and a crisp finish. It is delicious. It is best when paired with oyaki.

Onsen to commemorate the couple's 60th birthday. Doing nothing but relaxing. We chose a local Shinshu Daisetsuken. The aroma is muscat, maybe, but it's nice. The sweetness and riceiness is elegant and fits perfectly with the bitterness of the sweetfish. Shinshu is delicious. I hope the flood damage in Noto will not be too severe.

Hi WOM 😃 Nice trip for you and your wife to return to Japan... ☺️ relaxing and doing nothing is the most luxurious thing 🤗 and if there is sake 🍶 and hot spring ♨️ then all you have to do is sleep 🫠. We will catch up in a few years! Safe travels in Noto, we'll be praying for you too.

A trip to Tsuruoka, the spoils of war at the very super Super Shufu no Ten Ekimae Store Eine. The label says Matsuyama Sake Brewery even though it is Fujiya Sake Brewery Honten in Sake-no-wa? Apparently the company name has changed from Fujiya Sake Brewery to Matsuyama Sake Brewery. Well, it is a quintessential example of Yamagata, a prefecture known for its beautiful sake! At room temperature, the flavor of Dewa Sanzu spreads in the mouth. I wonder how it will taste when chilled.

Forgot to post. I saw this one at one of the supermarkets. I often come across Hishiko, but this was my first time to try Motomoto and Mine-no-Hakubai. It was such a sake with a good flavor of rice.

It was not a special occasion, but I wanted to drink it and wanted to drink it, so I chose it from the refrigerator. It is Shinsei, after all. It is sake, but it is not sake. The aroma is like vanilla or grapefruit, and the rice, Kame-no-o, is clear and refreshing. It is delicious!

I didn't have much time, so I chose this one from the 2 coins sake list, as I had only drunk the "kafuda". I couldn't drink it slowly, but it was more refreshing or light than Kafuda. It is true that I could feel some acidity, but it was more refreshing. It was as if it came from Niigata.

It is like Echigo-Tsumari sake. It is very light. After Corona is a new thing, but before Corona, I was not much interested in drinking out and was a home drinker. Now, I always drink it on business trips. Finally, I drink on the way to a stopover. I also go to local liquor stores. I have completely changed. But still, Niigata was a kingdom. Next month I will be in Iwate, and the month after that in Niigata. I am looking forward to it.

Hello, WOM. Corona has increased your interest in drinking out instead of being a home drinker 😁✨✨. I'm sure you'll be able to get through a tough business trip when you have the pleasure of drinking! I guess 🎵 It's the Kingdom of Niigata 😊.

Thank you, ma-ki. Before Corona, I drank at home. During Corona, I drink at home. For some reason, I like to drink outside after Corona. I don't care.

Liquor stores in Tsuruoka. Tsuruoka, Yamagata, is a surprising place, with supermarkets and product stores having too great an assortment of goods. However, as is typical of local liquor stores, the knowledge of the lady here about alcoholic beverages is unbelievable! We had a lot of trouble finding the right one, but went with a big name we hadn't tried yet, recommended by the head of T.KISO! Kamikimoto, which I was told was originally from a sake brewery in Tsuruoka! I will go back and drink it. The signboard of Eiko-Fuji is also nice.

Hi WOM 🐦. I'm looking at the Tsuruoka series and am amazed that there are so many famous brands 😳👍I too would like to get a detailed explanation of the sake in this area 😆.
Japanese>English
WOM
Thank you, Pon-chan. I know it must be hard for liquor stores to compete with such a large selection in the supermarkets, but maybe they can compete with limited edition sake, out-of-prefecture sake, etc.? I know the population decline is tough, but let's keep the momentum going!

Tourist information center in front of Tsuruoka Station with a super concierge, who told us that the supermarket has an unbelievable selection of goods. The supermarket "Shufu no Ten" Ene Ekimae Store. As a sake brewer, I thought it would be important to post this article because I think it is also important to have a distributor who connects the brewer and the drinker as the bearer of saké. I bought three bottles and will review them after I return home.

Thanks to the lady at the Tsuruoka Tourist Information Center, the last one is Jusui from Daisen. The origin of Jumizu brewing is on the back label. It is made from Yamagata's staple rice, Haenuki, and Yamagata yeast. The sake is still sweet at -8.5 on the sake meter. It is a mellow umamikuchi, and delicious.

Good morning, WOM 😃. I'm sure you got the information from your hometown👍. Sake with a good appetizer 🍶 and the udon at the end of the meal looks crisp and delicious 😋.

Thank you, Jay & Nobby. No doubt! I am so glad I found you guys. He was also a great guy with some maniacal information about supermarkets with a wide variety of locally brewed sake. The udon noodles are a Shonai specialty, barley noodles, a slightly thicker version of Inaniwa udon. Delicious.

Thanks to the lady at the tourist information center, I had the best nightlife in Tsuruoka. The menu at this store shows the degree of sake, making it easy to choose the right one! The aroma was gorgeous! The Junmai Daiginjo! The first sake rice, Dewa Kirari. Jellyfish is a jellyfish, isn't it? Inspired by the Kamo Aquarium, which is also fun!

From Kanazawa to Tsuruoka, 460 km via Hakutaka, Shirayuki, and Inaho. It is a long way along the Sea of Japan. It is closer than Sendai, but takes about 1.5 times longer. Today is a travel day, so we took a walk in Niigata on the way. It is nice to take a leisurely trip. When I asked at the tourist information center in front of the station about the best local sake stores, the first place I was introduced to was a supermarket called Shufu no Ten (Housewife's Store). It was indeed awesome. We were also introduced to a highly recommended eatery, Yuu-zen, which is a great place to eat. The information center was wonderful! First, we were given a bottle of Wagamuji. Mild ginjo aroma, acidity and bitterness? I see what you mean, it is a food sake! Miyamanishiki is in its element, isn't it? Thank you, sister, for the perfect accompaniments and Shonai sake!

Purchased at Sugakyu Sake Shop, a well-known store in Akita City. I was torn between Akita Brewery's Drunken Rakuten and Akita Haru, as I wanted to try a brewery I had not tasted before on my business trip to Akita. I am a sucker for store-specific brews, so I chose Akitaharu based on the store owner's recommendation. I thought my preference would be the Ace Red, but I was attracted to the Misato Nishiki, so I chose the Blue. It was a different challenge from the previous Akitaharashi, a clear, dry blue, and it was delicious! By the way, I'm going on a business trip to Niigata and Tsuruoka, any recommendations?
Japanese>English

Hi WOM😊 Akita Haru ☀️'s Ace series is quite good 🎶 glad you like it ❣️ Tsuruoka 🤔. I know you already drink Eikofuji and Kudokibe... I guess Kamikigen or Rokkasen?

I got this bottle on a trip to Shinshu last fall. It didn't fit in the refrigerator, so I thought I would put it in a cool, dark place, but with the heat wave, I ran out of cool, dark places, so I put it in a warm, dark place. I opened the bottle and wondered if it would be OK. Don't worry, it was a stable Kamerei. It is fruity, sweet and umami with a bitter finish. It goes well with any dishes.

Zukudase! Shinshu Sake Exploration. This time it's Yamazan, a recent favorite. It is a brand that I am glad to be able to buy in my neighborhood. I guess it is Alps Yeast. Sweet and fruity. It is refreshing, perhaps due to the quality of Yamae-Nishiki. It is easy to drink even in summer.
