Autumn Sake No. 1 at Horiichi 1️⃣
It seems to be.
I've been going to Horiichi for 5 years.
First time I bought 🤣.
The whole thing is moist and mature.
Delicious even at near room temperature 😋.
Luxury drinking comparison 🍻.
Jikin Asahi🌾 and Tasake Akitasake Komachi🌾.
The Jikin was a refreshing strain,
Tasake was the sweetest one we had this time 😋.
Luxury drinking comparison 🍻.
Otter is a bottle of Jyushidai.
I think it was around 6,000 yen for a bottle of 20-30%.
Very clear and watery too 💧.
I just don't think I'd buy otters by themselves 😅
The 3rd and 4th pictures are Shinmasa brought by a junior colleague.
The wonderful world of Junmai sake*3
It tastes like it was brewed with almost all koji and genmai.
It's just that it's been left too long 💤.
Is this taste a characteristic of all koji?
I can't tell if the taste is a characteristic of all koji or if it's something that has aged 🤣.
The Great White Pearl
I had faint hopes of seeing Jyushidai or Asahitaka on my trip to Yamagata.
I had a faint hope to meet Jyushidai and Asahi-taka on my trip to Yamagata, but of course, I didn't meet them.
But the week after I returned from my trip, I met them in Nagoya 🤣.
I had to buy 6 bottles,
If it's Ryu no Otoko Dai Gokujo, I'll buy it ✨.
Sweetness without the dullness. It's water 🤣.
Yamada Nishiki Kuro🌾
I bought this at the brewery of KENKUNICHI.
The previous owner was looking after the store and I got to talk to him about a lot of things 📝.
I never get tired of drinking it and before I know it, it's gone 😳.
They say they are making sake with such quality in mind.
They say it's not about being No. 1, it's about being the only one ✨.
However, the current president wanted to make a fruity version of Jun Dai, so he made it.
The current president wanted to make a fruity sake,
It has a sweetness that is rare for KENKON Ichi.
The sweetness does not linger and the quality of the sake is still there ✨.
I think Kenkunichi is still my favorite 😋😋.
Kura no Hana🌾.
Regular sake and hiyaoroshi🍶.
The one I got in Sendai.
Both are a bit high in sake and dry.
It's a long-established Ichinozo, so you can rest assured that it's not a little too fruity or anything like that.
It's not a fruity sake, it's a safe bet ✨.
Gannetto's Dragonfly (Ornithorhynchus ornithorhynchus)
I asked a local what sake he recommended and he said Kurozaemon.
It seems to be from the Gazan style brewery.
Sweet and refreshing. Good to drink chilled ✨.
The third picture is a sake shop I happened to find near the inn.
Of course I went there.
They were selling Jyushidai at a surprising price 😱.
I wish they would stop pre-pricing in a sake shop...
magic slash🧞.
I traveled to Yamagata ✈️
I was impressed by the many rice paddies surrounded by mountains.
No wonder they make delicious 🌾 and 🍶✨.
I got this Hatsuson from the local supermarket.
It has a slight tangy taste as if it is a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast,
It has a slight tangy taste like a sake yeast yeast yeast, and it is very drinkable to the extent that it is called "honkaku" (dry).
The third and fourth pictures are from the menu at the bar of the inn.
I thought I might be able to find a bottle of Jyushiyo or Asahitaka
but the price is quite expensive😅.
Asahitaka is more expensive by the bottle than by the glass 😅. 🤣🤣
Umamama super dry 🦋
It's more like a mellow summer sake with less sweetness than dry.
I wondered if it would go well with warabimochi (rice cakes). I thought it would go well with warabimochi,
but the warabimochi was also not very sweet and subtle 😅.
I think it would be the best match with sashimi 😋.
Black Label 🐦⬛
A local sake we drank in Matsuyama 🍶.
Well-balanced sweetness, flavor, and acidity, perfect as a food sake 😋.
The third one is a dashiwari (soup stock) sake from a different restaurant.
I ordered it just to try it out, but it had a unique taste....
I ordered 🍢 and 🍶 separately,
I ordered both separately and put them in my mouth to make my own original dashiwari....
I guess I'm a cheapskate... 🤣.
The 4th picture was taken out of pity for such stinginess.
The fourth one is an advertisement for investment in a brewery 💸.
Gold Award Winner🥇.
It beat out Jikin from the same prefecture to win the gold medal.
That must be great 🤣.
Yamadanishiki, but the sweetness is moderate,
It has a clear outline of umami and strength.
It is very drinkable and delicious 😋.
Good evening, Choroki-san!
Kankou Ume is delicious, isn't it😋?
It won a gold medal, didn't it: ⤴️
I had it at a drinking party and it was a great sake 🤗.
collaboration✨
Borrowing Machida's brewing formula and brewing it in Tenmei 🍾.
I bought it because it looked kinda fun 🤣.
It has the dryness of Kitashizuku but with a sweet and sour aftertaste 😋,

It was gone before I knew it🤣.
Old castle brocade
My drinking buddy, a younger guy, said this is the No.1 rice wine ✨.
So we decided to have a bottle, which we don't usually buy 🍻!
It is less sweet than the Nebuta I had the other day,
It's less sweet than the Nebuta we had the other day, so it's easy to drink as a food sake 😋.
The other sake I drank, Kin🪲, was very smooth,
The other Kin🪲 was soggy and had a controlled lactic acidity, perfect for the hot summer ✨.
The instrumental alternatives were used for the hops.
Sorachi Ace enhanced the beer-like flavor 🍿.
Philando 🇫🇮
I was expecting it to be very sweet,
I was expecting it to be very sweet, but it's pretty soggy and makes the drink go further 🤣.
I think it's better to drink it chilled and in a smaller vessel to fully enjoy the fizziness 😋.
I have the impression that you can fully enjoy the fizziness 😋.
Foam x low alcohol = surprisingly refreshing drink 🫧.
Tsuruno Shuzo Brewery x Tenryohai Shuzo
This series is new to us🍶.
We help each other in times of trouble.
Overall sweet schwag, but bitter in the aftertaste.
Just 13.5 degrees and light, so refreshing ✨.
