I went to Murata, the wine and sake shop I always go to, because they were having a tasting and sale at their warehouse 😁. Well, the lees is accumulating there! Shake the bottle a little to make it cloudy and open the bottle! The sound of the bottle is always a pleasant one! Recently, there are four-pack bottles with crowns, so I enjoy this sound (I wonder if the brewer understands this?). Sake temperature: 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is milky, with a hint of cream-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is sweet but not sticky and soft. And there is a chirichiri-ness to it. I only tasted about half of the sake, so all I could think was "delicious ❗️", but I was right to buy it! I have another bottle to enjoy!

Purchased at Yamane Sake Shop in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, during a trip to Wakayama Prefecture. I was attracted by the sake label (❗️) and bought it! Aroma of mineral and a hint of grape. When you put it in your mouth, there is a strong sourness and stimulation, followed slowly by a feeling of alcohol, and a little bitterness remains. The image was more like a heavy and drinkable sake, but it was like a dark, fruity, strong sake! I heard they use wild yeast collected from the soil of Kumano Kodo. I imagine it has an even more wild flavor! Even though it's dark, it's still relatively easy to drink, so I guess it's one of the more dangerous sake 😁.

Kabishin...a soft sweet sake that was the favorite sake of a girl who was my drinking buddy when I was young, and now that I'm all grown up, we're still drinking buddies. But that's beside the point! Be careful when opening the bottle! The bottle was opened slowly, and it made a nice squeaking sound... I enjoyed it so much that I didn't make any siphon ❗️ sound! The aroma is not strong, but when you put it in your mouth, you can smell a hint of koji, and the aroma of rice. Then the umami of the rice spreads, and although you expect a heavy acidity, the taste is refreshing. This is delicious! The image I had of Kabishin was one of gentle sweetness and a soft mouthfeel, but this is different and delicious! I must tell my drinking friends about it. ❗️

The brother of the owner at Murata, where I always go, said, "It's interesting with flat milled rice". So, I bought it! I heard that by milling rice flat, you can reduce the amount of grinding. I think it will increase from next year. He said, "I think it will increase next year. Sake temperature: about 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is juicy and grapey, and the mouthfeel is clean and crisp - the high alcohol content makes the alcohol taste a little strong, but it disappears when the temperature rises a little. The acidity is more like that of a lemon. The price of rice has gone up, and the brewery is having a hard time keeping up with the rising price, so they have to increase the volume if they have to cut less. When the rice is flat polished to 60%, it tastes like a round 40%. I like 82% or natural sake, so I don't mind if it has a little bit of a tangy taste. It's hard to say whether it's a tangy taste or a flavor.

Good evening, Mr. Sakezan. I heard that the new rice milling machine developed by Satake Corporation in Higashihiroshima City enables flattened rice milling. I couldn't help but react to this story related to my home prefecture of Hiroshima🎵.

4-day/3-night trip to Kishu with my second son, a senior in college Today, we enjoyed a delicious Kishu dinner at the inn. Sake is, of course, locally brewed. We will have black beef! No aroma! It has a sharp taste and goes well with everything! Especially good with sashimi! The food and sake were both delicious, and we were very satisfied! However, I feel a little sad thinking that I won't be traveling with my child for 4 days and 3 nights anymore!

A bottle that I bought at the brewery on a business trip. When I opened the cork, I heard the sound of air leaking out. And then a "siphon" sound, which is always a nice sound! The aroma is hard to describe, but it smells fresh and slightly vanilla-like. The mouthfeel is a bit chili, then a bit gassy, and then a bit refreshing, but it doesn't linger. It is light and light, just like the name "Lite". It is a sake that makes you feel that sake is delicious!

The aroma is sweet with a hint of pineapple. The nose is grape-like. The mouthfeel is light, but the acidity remains. I heard that they use a fantastic sake rice called "Kaihatanryu". I don't know how different the taste is depending on the rice. I still have a lot to learn 😁.

Last bottle bought at the brewery. Sake temperature 10 degrees Celsius. It has a pleasant mineral aroma with a clean, crisp, very refreshing taste. The mouthfeel is crisp and very refreshing. The acidity lingers on the tongue as you continue to drink. Not too much alcohol, perfect for a mid-meal drink. Junmai sake is also very refreshing. When the temperature is raised to 13 degrees Celsius, the refreshing feeling does not change, but the sharpness is replaced by softness. And it leaves a feeling on the tongue like after eating mandarin oranges. Sake is so interesting!

The mornings and evenings are getting colder, and it's the time of year when I miss hot sake! So, at Murata, a place I always go to, I asked for "a good heated sake, I can't remember the name, where my brother (now at Murata) went for his training"! So, this sake from Fukumitsuya was served! First, cold sake! The aroma of sake! As it is called "super dry" sake, it has a sharpness, but it is not sharp, and the acidity remains slowly, making it delicious! Now, let's try heating it up. The sake-like aroma remains the same, but it becomes clearer, and there is a hint of bitterness in addition to the acidity. I thought heated sake should have something to eat, so I added some pickled daikon radish and thinly sliced bamboo rings. The sake washes away the smell, leaving only the umami. I'm so happy!

A bottle that has been sitting in the refrigerator Slightly smells like old sake. The mouthfeel is light, followed by a strong acidity. Since today is a holiday, we prepared some bonito tataki as a snack! The flavor and acidity of the old sake washed away the smell of bonito and it was delicious! For fun, I also tried a glass of white wine! White wine is no good. It reduces the smell, but some of the flavors are so intense that both the sake and the snack fall flat!

It's been a long time since I've had a goose tree. I have heard that the fragrance of Yamaguchi's ganki, Ki, is purposely kept to a minimum. There is not much aroma, but it has a faintly sweet aroma and a pineapple-like flavor. The mouthfeel is clean and sweet, with a good sharpness. It has the richness of the original sake, and Ganki is delicious! I can feel it! The brewery is located at the mouth of a river, and for a while the water was not good, so it was brought from a mountainous area about 50 kilometers away from the brewery. It seems that the water is different now, but I guess a lot of hard work went into making it the delicious sake it is today. When I think about it, the taste is even better!

Brewed by Sakai Sake Brewery in Itsutsubashi The seller is Regional Trading Company Yamaguchi, which is a company formed by local companies, mainly the Yamaguchi Bank, to boost the local community! So I wonder if this sake is made by these two companies! Made in wooden vats with a live yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast strain Polishing ratio is 90%❗️, it's almost all rice! Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. Slight lychee aroma. The mouthfeel is thick and sweet, with umami, a hint of bitterness, and a soft thickness. I've had a similar sake from another company, but it was more robust with a strong acidity. It's different from that. As always, this sake was meant to be heated to 45 degrees Celsius. The sweetness increases, but it's sharp and full-bodied. The sweetness slowly melts on the tongue. Oh, it's delicious! For some reason, the sake produced by this regional trading company is not sold at liquor stores, but at MaxValu! Well, thanks to you, I was able to buy it at half the price of the bargain price 😁.

When you open the bottle, you can hear a nice sound and it makes you want to come back! Sake temperature is about 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is like a combination of pear and grape, more refreshing than sweet - a very nice aroma 😊. The mouthfeel is soft and gentle on the tongue, with a hint of chili in the middle. Citrusy acidity spreads and leaves a slight bitterness. I bought it at the brewery, but the Kodama Shuzo building was gone and a new building had been built, but there was a kettle from the Kodama Shuzo era at the entrance, which made me happy to see the history of the brewery 😁.

Mr. Yamabuki's second drink. He said he was aiming for a sake that goes well with ramen and other oily food while eating ramen. So, "Do you have ramen?" No." Then, croquettes! So, it's a ginjo, but it doesn't have a strong aroma. The taste is refreshing, light, and perfect for oily food!

Izakaya Yamabuki Sunday Lunch only on national holidays and only open for lunch Not much aroma Soft mouthfeel The soft, enveloping mouthfeel is a perfect match for the soft, smooth texture of the deep-fried avocado we ordered as a snack. The soft and soft taste is perfect with the melt-in-your-mouth avocado that I ordered as a snack.

It has an aroma like tortoiseshell candy and a flavor like old wine. When poured into a glass, it has a beautiful golden color like white wine. The mouthfeel is thick and sharp, and the acidity and astringency slowly disappear. When I looked at the label, I thought it had a strong alcohol taste, but it was 18 to 19 degrees ❗️ That's why! Next time I'll try heating it up. But I'll do it soon. The alcohol taste disappears, but the umami taste increases and it becomes softer. Ugh, I can't feel the high alcohol content, I'm going to drink too much ❗️ I bought some new sansma and will try to match it tomorrow 😁.

NEO Daisen is said to have been stored at low temperature for more than 30 months to boost (deepen) its flavor, aroma, and mildness. Well, the aroma is not that long. There is a faint aroma of pear. The mouthfeel is very soft, mild and juicy, so there must be a lot of acidity, but I don't feel it too much. It's supposed to be good warmed, so I tried heating it up. The softness increased and it melted on the tongue, leaving a gentle sweetness. What a great all-around sake! Now is the perfect time to warm up sake!

Good evening, Mr. Sakezan. I drank a lot of different kinds of sake, but I did not keep notes. At my son's suggestion, I made a spreadsheet (Excel) showing prefectures, breweries, and brands, and I found that I was drinking a lot more than I had thought. I made use of the sake ranking and so on.

Thank you. I'll take that into consideration. I wish I could drink sake as much as I do beer, but I think my limit is 5-6 bottles a month. Well, I should just stop drinking other alcoholic beverages.

Purchased for the first time at Kinyoshiya Shoten in Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture. The aroma is subtle, but has a full-bodied ginjo aroma with hints of koji and whipped cream. The mouthfeel is refreshing and easy to drink with little acidity. It is 17% strong, but it is so easy to drink that you don't feel it. It's a great drink on a hot summer day!

Recommendation from the owner of a hobby liquor store and cigarette shop in the neighborhood. Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. Slightly sweet and ginjo aroma The mouthfeel is soft and full with a slight lingering bitterness. When the sake is warmed up a little more, acidity is felt and the taste is close to the image of hiyaoroshi that I have in my mind. Normally, I would drink a cup of sake while listening to the sound of insects, but it's so hot!
