There was a North Tohoku booth at an event at the station closest to my commute to work, and Onogawa was on sale. Junmai Ginjo, unfiltered raw sake, raw type made from Akita Sake Komachi. Sweet creamy aroma & acid aroma is apple-like... 🍎. Is this an apple pie with custard cream? Sweet - a little gassy, like cream soda. Aftertaste is bitter. Yum 😍.

Hosted by Tatenokawa. Ancient rice, Sobei early maturing. Aroma is sweet and creamy. Is the acid aroma cheese-like? No, apple. The taste is robust. I guess the acidity is still apple-like... But it also tastes banana-like. The aftertaste is spicy. I can feel the umami more strongly when it is a little lukewarm.

I like Hagi no Tsuru's cat series, but this is my first time to drink anything else. Light nigori type with a hole in the lid. Sweet aroma of pear and rice. The supernatant. Oh, sweet! Melon juice. Sweet and sour. But the bitterness is also effective, and the aftertaste is more refreshing than the first sip. There is almost no gassiness. The more the cage is mixed, the stronger the bitterness and sourness become. It's like an adult calpis with a bitter taste. It's a gradation, so you can enjoy the change in taste.

I found it at a liquor store in Shiga Prefecture and bought the label. It is a brewery that you don't see around our area. It is a new brand of Taga created in August 2023. It is made from 100% Taga-grown "Aki-no-Shi" rice. The rice is edible, apparently. There was a sign warning against opening the bottle, but when I opened it, the bottle just popped a little. It seems to have been fire-brewed. The aroma is banana and melon. Slightly acidic aroma. The label says it is a dry type with a hint of sourness, but the sourness is not so pronounced. It seems to be masked by the umami. The aftertaste is spicy and bitter, so it has a nice sharpness. When drinking it, you don't feel much of a gasiness. The next day, it thickens and I can feel the hidden sourness. It's pretty good 😋.

I got a limited edition of this white wine at the brewery during the consecutive holidays in May. When I drank the regular white version, I thought the aroma would be moderate and refreshing, but this one had banana, pear, and a strong aroma. Juicy melon-😋. It's sweet but not cloying with a bitter and pungent aftertaste. There is a little gas left in it and it's very crisp. I love the taste of fresh medium-ripened melon!

I didn't pay much attention to the yeast I chose, but it was flower yeast! It is made with Watabune No. 2 from Shiga Prefecture, and uses Tokyo University of Agriculture's Sakura flower yeast. It does not have a flowery aroma. Come to think of it, there was a sake from Toyama with tulip yeast. Sweet aroma and slightly banana-like. First impression is sweet and thick! Sourness and bitterness, with a hint of lychee and a refreshing aftertaste. After a while, I didn't feel much sweetness anymore. Maybe because I changed the glass? The umami flavor remains, but the acidity and bitterness stand out and give a dry impression.

Koka City area of Shiga, my favorite place to visit these days. While visiting the Shigaraki Ceramic Forest, I went to stock up on sake. I found a limited edition sake from Hatsuzakura! Made from 100% Shiga Prefecture Ginbukiyo. It is a "super" limited edition sake with a medium kumi. The aroma is more yogurt-like acidity than fruity. It is lightly cloudy. The taste is strong - the acidity is effective, but the umami and flavor are strong. There is a bitter aftertaste and the alcohol content is 17%, so it has a lot of punch! I like the Namahashitaro series!

Yellow Narcissus ✨ for packaged sake. Omachi, right? It's my absolute favorite one. I've had it at a restaurant before, but it was when I was tongue-tied, so this is the first time I've had a chance to take my time with it. The aroma is strong. Nice aroma~❤️ Like cream soda. Sweet aroma like cream and rice. It has a mild acidic flavor of banana and pear. The flavor is strong. Sweet. But the bitter aftertaste and the tangy gas make it easy to drink. Maybe because the alcohol content is 13 degrees. Yummy!

お久しぶりのよこやまです。 よこやま、うまいけど私の好みからは少し甘み強いなーと思っていたところ、「超辛」とは! だけど、甘い辛いの表記はイマイチ信用してないので本当に辛口?と疑いながらも飲んでみよう♪ 香りはバナナ&ほんのりメロン。甘さは控えめの辛口。(ホントだった🤪) スッキリー うっすらにごりあり。 1週間後、香りが立ってきた。 そうねぇ、うまいけどこっちだと私の好みからするとあっさりしすぎかなー中間ぐらいがいいなー

Hi Yuki! I totally agree with you! I wish there was a middle ground. (I haven't looked for it yet...)

This is the first Yamawa. ❤️ A new unfiltered unpasteurized sake. Yogurt aroma. It tastes like banana. It has a strong spiciness. A little grassy aroma in the back, but it tastes good. The next day, the banana-like aroma increased and it became thicker. After that, I let it sit for about a week, and the aroma that bothered me disappeared, and it came together nicely.

I bought this one in February. Mitsuo, the theme for 2024 is "timeless sake brewing". To reduce CO2 for the future? Making gas-filled sake? 😆. Sweet & acid aroma like drinking yogurt. But the taste is refreshing. Easy to drink with just a hint of gas. Tasty but not harsh, low acidity. It's like a 00 sour. What is it, light banana?

This is also a part of Noto support. Senkin after a long time. The aroma is cream soda. Sweetness and acidity. Slightly cloudy. It is thick and has a faint gaseous taste. The taste is more sour and bitter than sweet. It is refreshingly citrusy. The sweetness increases when it is mixed with orikomi. It is so good! Wishing Noto a speedy recovery.

I have not had a sake from Yoshida Shuzo since I had a Junmai Daiginjo from Tedorigawa about 20 years ago (it was delicious). With a wish for the recovery of Ishikawa Prefecture. 100% Ishikawa-mon sake. Banana and melon aroma. When opening the bottle, it popped! and there is a moderate amount of gas remaining. The bottom part is slightly cloudy. It starts out smooth and light, like water. Maybe because of the 13% alcohol content? It is like a light melon soda. Later, there is a sweet aroma like cream. As you continue drinking it, the umami flavor comes out and it becomes thicker. It is easy to drink.

This is black rust. It is made of Gohyakumangoku. The taste is totally different from the red one! This one tastes like apple. It has a clear acidity with little sweetness. It is thick and has a spicy aftertaste. The umami is felt later.

I went to a liquor store on February 22, Cat's Day, and came across this 😻 Inomata Sake Brewery of Tsukifumi no Ike is releasing this sake on Cat's Day. On the package is the brewery's kitten, "Anko," a rusty cat. ❤️ Part of the proceeds will be donated to animal protection activities. There was also a draft version, but this one was fire-aged. The red rust is made with Takananishiki. Sweet citrusy aroma. The bitter aftertaste is citrus-like. Slightly gassy. It is sweet, but when paired with food, it also has a spiciness. As the day goes by, the sweetness settles down and the balance improves.

It's been a while since I've seen this one, too. This is a limited edition Aizan! The aroma is mild and lychee-like, with a hint of plum-like acidity. Oh, it's so sweet! Pear + banana with a mild sweetness and a thickening taste. Slightly cloudy. There is a slight bitterness with a little gasiness. Light in comparison to the sweetness. Good taste!

Long time no see, Gassan ❤️ I bought a freshly squeezed spring one at the end of February❤️ Nice aroma of pear and lychee, but not strong. The first sip is sweet! Like melon juice. But the aftertaste is spicy with a refreshing bitterness. It leaves a little gassy feeling. I think it's a little sweet for my taste, but it's good. The next day, the standing sweetness settles down and it tastes like mellow banana, but refreshing. Yum!

I completely bought the label and brought it home 😁. And then the sweet/dry issue in my mind broke out. Sweet aroma like pear ‾. First sip. Sweetness like rice and banana. The label says "super dry. Really? Isn't it rather sweet? The aftertaste is definitely spicy. There is also bitterness. There's also a bit of a sputtering gasiness. Hmmm.., In my case, it depends on the first sip and the impression of the aroma. If I am hungry, I feel the spiciness more strongly than the umami, But when I am hungry, the spiciness is stronger than the umami, but the umami is also there and the impression is sweet. I think of dry wine as having more acidity and dryness than sweetness, and more cleanness than umami. It is difficult to describe the taste! I think it's a good idea to try it. Oh, but this was my favorite type of taste: ❤️

Suzukagawa is made by the same brewery as Sakusaku. I was lucky to find it in a somewhat unexpected place, a local supermarket 😄The label was also nice, so I bought it: ❤️ The first aroma of slight acidity is like that of a rum. In addition, pear and banana aroma. It's fresh ✨Bitter taste remains, but it's not too strong. The next day, the sweetness is more pronounced. I wonder if the bitterness is becoming less noticeable. The image of the taste has changed, with a more mellow pear and banana type feeling than the freshness. New brew is so good 😋.
