The Roaches 【A】 兵庫県民
I purchased this at the Sawano Tsuru brewery. It is delicious with a strong barrel aroma on top of the junmai sake flavor. I feel that barrel sake is a genre all by itself. At this point, I have had three different kinds. In order from the ones that gave me the best impression, I would say Kiku-Masamune, Sawanotsuru, and Fukuju. The basis for my judgment is the strength of the barrel aroma. I think I prefer a barrel sake where the barrel asserts itself even if the balance is off.

Purchased on the recommendation of the explanation staff, Gen-san, during a visit to Sawanotsuru. He said it was dry but not sharp, with a clean aftertaste but with a strong flavor. That's exactly what it is. It stands out even more when served with Nara-zuke (pickles). Good sake: ‼️

It is a special pure rice, so it is very smooth. The aroma is also very refreshing, but I thought it was gorgeous. However, this is where I begin to lament as a "downer. The alcohol content is 18 degrees, too high. I was worried about the alcohol, Is there any correlation between the taste and alcohol content of sake? There are some sakes that taste like this and wish the alcohol was lower. Is it possible to design such a sake? I don't think there is a demand for it, but it would be a great design for sake fans who don't like the taste of sake,

Raging sake. I drink it all at once. I thought it had no peculiarities, but at the end I felt a slight pungency, so I checked the label and found "Brewing alcohol...". I have been told that it is an amateur to talk about sake with or without brewing alcohol, but as I am as close as I can get to an akudo (a person who doesn't drink sake), I can't help but notice, I was saddened by the titanium glasses, which cost about 5,000 yen. I was saddened by the titanium glass, which cost about 5,000 yen. I bought it because it was supposed to prevent fragrance from attaching to the contents. The first drink under the excessive expectation! It smelled so metallic. Washing and rinsing makes no difference. 5,000 yen...,

The Roaches [A] Hyogo residents The Roaches [A] Hyogo residents [3 guided tours of sake breweries in Nada-Gogo Guided tours of the Nada Gogo Sake Breweries. Hakutsuru Sake Brewery The brewery is a branch of Kiku-Masamune. However, among the three breweries we toured this time, the sake itself did not seem to shine, and while Kikumasamune overturned my preconceived notions, Hakutsuru left a rather poor impression on me. (1) Sake that tasted good  Kura-shu (special junmai sake) 2) Miscellaneous 1 Kano Jigoro  The founder was also a judoist. Both Kiku-Masamune and Hakutsuru are family-owned, and the surname of both is still Kano.

The Roaches [A] Hyogo [3 guided tours of sake breweries in Nada-Gogo We went on a guided tour. I learned a lot here. I learned a lot here. Just what I remember,, (1) Delicious sake  Barrel sake, sake made from sake barrels, sake yeast 2) Miscellaneous knowledge 1: Barrel ship  Barrel ships were born in the Edo period (1603-1867). The quality of Nada sake was so high that shipping from Osaka to Edo was described as "going down to Edo. Good sake fetches a high price in Edo. Sake that cannot be taken to Edo remains in Osaka as "sake that does not go down to Edo. The expression "sake that is not good enough" is said to have come from here. Tarumawase-bune, a ship dedicated to the transportation of sake, was created to maintain and improve the value of sake. The two-week voyage was optimal from the standpoint of freshness and maturity. Miscellaneous 2) Cedar barrels  Craftsmen still make cedar barrels, which are valuable because the number of barrels made per day is limited.

Guided Sake Brewery Tour in Nada-Gogo (3 locations) We went on a guided tour of 3 sake breweries in Nada-Gogo. We tasted several sake breweries, but to be honest, the time spent at each was too short to fully enjoy the aroma and taste, but we enjoyed both free and paid tastings at all breweries. I will note as much as I can remember. Overall, I was uncomfortable with the fact that they always promote one type of fruit wine. I thought that fruit wine is something that should be left up to the bars and users to devise on their own, and that it would be better for long-established sake breweries to truly focus on sake itself. I thought it would be better for long-established sake breweries to truly focus on sake itself. Hamafukutsuru. I don't remember the detailed description, but the sake called "Shigome San-no" was the easiest to drink.

Although Nada-Gogo is located nearby, I had urgent business in the "Yodo ‼️" area of Kyoto, so I urgently set the nearby Fushimi area as the first district for the sake exploration trip 😊. As one would expect from a sake brewery. Everywhere you look in the city, sake signs abound. We decided to attack the local shopping district first. We visited a small liquor store just before the shopping street and, armed with the first-hand knowledge we gained from Chat GPT, the sake tour got underway👍. It is a small little liquor store in town, but the store was filled almost entirely with local sake. The owner, Obasama, was very knowledgeable and carefully shared her knowledge with us amateurs in a way that we could chew on it. 😊 We were looking for Sawaya Matsumoto, but it seems that the number of stores that can sell it is limited, so we were given an alternative. The alternative might not have the best image, but it was mellow, refreshing, and delicious. It was a good sake that was easy to drink👍 As a side note, they also sold a small amount of a wide variety of sake lees. I was told that freshly pressed sake called "Gohyakumangoku" was in stock that day, so I bought it as well. When I made sake lees soup later that day, it was so elegant and creamy that I wondered what I had done with the sake lees I had bought at the supermarket. The taste was so elegant and creamy that I wondered what I had been doing with the sake lees I had bought at the supermarket.

Drinking one cup is a distant memory. It was a long time ago, long before I reached the age of adulthood. The memory of that time made me dislike sake, and several decades have passed since then. I have come to think it tastes good when I receive deceptively somewhat expensive sake. I am now thinking of studying sake. So, I decided to try drinking a one-cup sake again as a zero-point adjuster and a reference sake. I thought it must be bad, but it wasn't bad at all 😳Is it because it has an "Extra" designation or because I have climbed the stairs to adulthood😌?
