Mellow, umaguchi, 17 degrees, knockout.
It is a little lukewarm, but the sweetness has increased. If it is cold, it will knock you out in a second.

Kraft saké rice and figs
I love Akita. If I can support its recovery, I will buy it even though it is a little expensive.
It is made from the dew that comes out of figs.
The taste is just like fig dew! It's just the same as it is, isn't it?
Mellow is the perfect word!
I think it goes well in a faceted glass.
It would be great with some sweet, dried fruits.
This craft saké showed me the possibilities that are not confined to the sake category.
I would like to drink more!

A mellow, umami-kuchi sake that retains a strong sake character.
The price is very reasonable considering the recent price hikes.
The stable taste was as expected.

After a long absence, sake is back in Akita!
Gutsy, sake-like and fruity!
Slightly more sake-like
Very drinkable!
After all, Akita is not lacking in quality!

Okinawa at last!
I got this hard-to-find sake at a souvenir shop like a roadside station during my family's trip to Okinawa last fall. I finally had a chance to drink it. It was served with pork spare ribs, not agu pork as is typical in Okinawa.
The taste...maybe I was expecting a little too much, or maybe it was a problem with the storage conditions in our house, but it tasted a little like brewer's sake. The sweetness is nice and elegant, but I don't like this sake smell.
I will have to go through it to conquer Okinawa, but I don't think I'll try it again. Awamori is better...

The wine I chose for my Tokyo conquest is a very different version of Tokyo Minato Sake Brewery's palla casey.
It can only be described as a rice wine. It has the freshness and fruitiness of wine while retaining the rice flavor that makes sake sake what it is. But rice is rice, not fruit. The depth is a little shallow. Compared to the alcohol content, this sake is easy to drink.

YokoyamaSILVER 超辛7 純米吟醸

It is quite spicy.
Not too heavy. It's clean but full-bodied. Does that mean it has no sweetness? It is an excellent sake for a meal without interfering with the meal. It goes well with rich toro.

Ripe melon juice mixed with adult bitterness
This kind of flavor is trendy these days, and I personally don't dislike it, but it doesn't go well with so-called "meals that go well with sake". I have to think carefully about the combination with meals before deciding what to drink. I want a cellar...
The taste was very good and made me want to try others.

Katanosakuraひやおろし 純米吟醸
ジョンスミス大佐
Sake from my hometown Osaka.
I have been flirting with wine lately, but sake is the best for fish.
So I tried Hiyoroshi.
It has a robust sake flavor, spiciness, and mellow sweetness. It is quite a perfect balance. I can imagine it goes well with "a meal that goes well with sake". Is it good?
This was a comment from an Osaka lover.
It might not be good to chill it too much.

They use Burgundy white wine yeast.
It's not so much a sake or wine as it is a white wine with no sense of grape... (of course it is)
I think it is easy to drink, but only easy to drink because of its freshness and lightness.
Maybe I expected a little too much...

Adult Cider with the Bitter Taste of Life
It's so easy to slurp up.
I wish my life was like this
The sweetness isn't too strong, and I've become a smart adult.
I have the impression that I have become a smart adult.
I will come back again!
Kumamoto conquered!

Kagoshima conquest!
Sweet and savory. Modern taste.
We are sorry, but it is highly evaluated because we didn't expect it. It seems to go well with rich dishes. What is Kagoshima cuisine? Kurobuta? That's nice. I think fish like tuna or bonito is better than protein white meat.
I would like to drink other kinds of shochu, but I don't know where I can get this hard-to-find shochu from Kagoshima, the shochu kingdom... Shochu is also very good.

At a certain chain of taverns
Dry wine that goes well with seafood
Unusual dry taste
But it is delicious!
Not at all bad as a food wine
Not too trendy
Nihonma is... profound.

Oita conquest.
It's tasty, but a little bit too strong.
But it's still delicious.
It's good value for money.
I wonder if it goes well with Oita's fried chicken or bonito.

I got this bottle of Tobiroki at one of the mail-order sake shops.
Because it is a limited edition, I had to buy 4-5 other bottles of sake with it to get this one.
I had to buy 4-5 other bottles of sake with it to get this one.
I have high expectations for this sake.
It sure is tasty! Well-balanced, not cloying sweetness and richness, with just the right amount of sake. My wife says it's light. I say it is quite strong. It is a difficult sake to make, but the fact that it is so easy to drink is what makes Tobiroki Tobiroki.
Compared to the famous local sake we bought together, it is not outstandingly good, but it is one of the best. It is not outstanding.
In that sense, it is an honor student.
Shizuka-chan.

Good evening Colonel Jansmith❗️
I had the same drink today and I have the same opinion😅.
It's well balanced and there's nothing wrong with it.
No special characteristics, it's like a normal easy to drink sake ❗️.

Shimane Sake
Because it's low-alcohol? It is a bit lacking. It has a clear taste, but its lack of richness and umami flavor is noticeable. It's a good drink in the sense that it's easy to drink.

Toyama Sake
When I think of Toyama, I have nothing but good memories of traveling there in the past and getting lots of freebies and good feelings. I love Toyama because of the many delicious foods.
Haneya is a famous sake brewery there.
This is Jungin, which is considered the standard.
It is delicious. The sweetness of rice is sublimated like a fruit, and it is full-bodied. It is the royal road of current sake.
I would like to try more of this sake.
It is a sake that makes me think so.
I dare to complain that it does not have a penetrating taste.

First time in Yamanashi!
Hiyadori by Shichiken
Speaking of Yamanashi, there are only mountains, but no mountains. But there are no mountains. More wine than sake?
This Shichiken is said to be a traditional sake.
It has a strong taste. Dry? No, it has a deep sweet taste.
It's autumn.
I feel like the taste is becoming more and more similar to other famous sakes from different prefectures.

Tenseimugen infinity 純米吟醸 酒未来
ジョンスミス大佐
After the Akita series, we will continue our journey to conquer the 47 prefectures again.
Surprisingly, there are many different sake breweries in Kanagawa, and many different kinds of sake are produced by the same brewery, so it was hard to decide which one to choose. The one I chose this time was based on the picture on the jacket. Sake from Shonan.
As one would expect from a sake brewer, it is very stylish.
The taste was full-bodied, sweet, and had a good punch. Not so much unique, but tasty.
After the Akita series, I find myself comparing it to Shinmasa. That sake is out of the standard when you talk about it in the category of sake. This sake is within the standard. It is in a high level of competition within the standard, but there are quite a few that fall into that category. It is difficult to say whether I can repeat the same experience from among them.

This is for the Ibaraki Prefecture conquest and for the jackets.
Cool label.
My wife says it tastes like Shinsei.
It certainly has the flamboyance of Shinsei, but with a masculine roughness. That is what is called "sake-like". It is delicious. It is gorgeous, but has a depth that makes it a good food sake. Today I drank it with a slightly strong Chinese drink, but it did not lose. In fact, it pushed back. In that sense, I feel like a man. I thought that stereotypes like "man" and "woman" are not liked... but that's my impression. It was a bottle that made me think that there must be a lot of good sake in the northern Kanto area.
