I went to a stylish sake brewery so I was able to buy a western Japan limited edition, even though I was in Chiba.
It's good no matter what you drink! Koshi, Chiba has such a gorgeous, full-bodied, and delicious sake that you can't go wrong with any of it.
I wish they were more famous...
Whenever someone asks me to recommend a good sake, this is the sake I always answer.
A beautiful label and a great buy, this sake has a gorgeous image, but it has a strong alcohol taste. It lacks umami (flavor), but it has a strong sense of refreshingness.
As expected from the Tohoku region, it's solid. And it's a pure sake! I was prepared to drink it, but it wasn't that bad. Of course, it is a solid sake, but it is also a delicious sake with umami.
Tsuchida Shuzo has the image of a magician.
Kore is also delicious at room temperature, and as the days pass after opening the mouth, it becomes that much better.
Just as I was told at the brewery.
As expected.
It is a fruity drink, perhaps because it is a Junmai Daiginjo, or perhaps because it is made from Yamadanishiki. The first of the year? It has a festive New Year's feeling.
A cave I stopped by on a whim during a roadside station tour...
We got there by following a sign for sake.
The system is a bit of a surprise: if you make a reservation, the sake aged in the cave is sent to you with your zodiac sign on it, just in time for New Year's.
It's tasty, but without the New Year's pomp and circumstance, and has a solidly Japanese sake feel to it. So there you go...it's aged...
But a project that will please.
I was able to buy it because it was a souvenir of my trip, even though it's just delicious and this is a luxury item.
It's a junmai daiginjo, but it's refreshing without being cloying, which is probably true since it's from a prefecture that's known for its sake drinking.
It is delicious.
I always wondered about tonbo, but I think this was probably the first time I drank it.
It's a daiginjo, of course it's delicious, and it came in a magnificent wooden box.
Even without that, it was definitely a delicious sake.
I am glad I had it.
The beginning of sake in 2024
I opened it with gold leaf to bring good luck to everyone.
I thought it would be crisp and dry because it is from Iwate, but it was not spicy, but rather easy to drink and refreshing.
I think it is the best sake for the first drink of the year.
I had this sake because I thought I would like it, but it was a good one.
This year, I will work harder than last year!
It was a gift, but it was really delicious.
It is rare to see this kind of sake, so we enjoyed it very much.
It is a sake that is smooth but has a delicious flavor.
It's so good, Junmai-shu.
It was delicious even though I bought it completely by the packet.
I thought, "This is a sake from the Raifuku Brewery, no wonder it tastes so good.
Sake-no-Ten HAYASHI is a limited edition sake.
This is also delicious...
I don't remember the details...
I only have memories of good sake, so it must be good!
The sexy Yamamoto yeast, the barcode and the shape of the bottle gave the impression that they were trying to achieve a variety of things, which was nice.
When I asked for a dry sake, I was served one that was dry and refreshing, but not only alcoholic, and I found it to be a good sake as well.
