Today, I visited Kumamoto to attend a conference. When it was time for the evening reception, after the explanation of the dishes, the organizer happily said, "We are serving local sake today.
I went to check out the local sake corner and to my surprise, there was a bottle of Sanzo sitting in the corner! I had never had it before, so I immediately had a glass.
It was great, with a pear-like aroma, a shrieking gasiness, and a refreshing sweetness😃.
Towards the end of the meeting, a very VIP actress from Kyushu also made an appearance, and we were very impressed by the wonderful hospitality of the organizers for the day.
Pineapple and apple-like aroma. Chilli gasiness. Gorgeous sweetness, rice flavor, and mellow taste. It is very tasty with a good sharpness.
Recommended by the owner of Niigata's local sake defense force where we purchased it. The rice polishing ratio and other details are not disclosed, but I was told that it is the most cost-effective sake, being a regular sake even though it is a daiginjo level polished to 45%.
The ★ (star) series, a challenging sake that accelerates the evolution of Abe Shuzo. This is a kijo-zake that uses Abe Shuzo's sake as part of the brewing water. The rich flavor and moderate acidity were exquisitely delicious. At a corner bar in Hasegawa-ya, Niigata.
Yasuda Torigoe", one of Abe Shuzo's field-specific series, a sake with well-balanced rice flavor and acidity. At a paid tasting at Niigata Nishikiya Sake Shop.
I felt the deep flavor and richness of the food. At a yakitori restaurant in Osaka Station Building.
It was served by the glass, so I borrowed the photo from the Internet.
Junmai Daiginjo-genshu with two types of yeast pre-dispensed.
Both the aroma and taste are gorgeous fruity with a strong pineapple flavor.
At Sake and Otsumami Chuin.
Not "hiyaoroshi" nor "akiagari" but "nagoshi-sake," a sake that has passed through the summer.
It had a mild, fruity flavor and a clean, crisp taste, with excellent sweetness and acidity.
At Sake and Otsumami CHUIN.
I happened to look in a liquor store that was selling a limited edition of one bottle each. Since I had never had it before and it was a rasichi, I bought it without hesitation.
It had a fruity aroma, and when I sipped it, I felt a refreshing sweetness with a slight spiciness passing through at the end.
It is indeed Tazake.
At Sake and Otsumami CHUIN. A bottle recommended by the owner.
The specs are not disclosed, it has a strong sweetness, clean, fruity and very easy to drink.
I had been wanting to drink it for a while and found it at Hasegawa Sake Shop so I couldn't resist buying it😃.
The aroma is faintly lactic acidic. I found it sweet and strongly acidic. It has a droll texture and a slight rice graininess. It is sweet and tasty and I would drink as much as I want.
Memorandum
Fruity and tasteless, the flavor spreads in the mouth. It is still delicious.
I had this wine at a bar attached to Hasegawa Sake Brewery Nihonbashi when I went to Tokyo on a business trip.
Memorandum
I bought this wine because it was so delicious at a free tasting at Yamanaka Sake Shop. It is fragrant, deliciously sweet, fruity and juicy.
