The brewery is located in Saijo, Ehime.
Ehime's sake has a mild, full-bodied quality, but this was a delicious sake with a sharp acidity followed by a sweetness.
(It reminded me of Kyo Hina's "Ittouka"... 😋.

When I opened the bottle, it had a fruity or whiskey-like aroma, an amber color, and a delicious rice flavor.
Takagaki Shuzo has a brand called "Ryujinmaru" which is sold exclusively by their distributors, but I haven't had a chance to meet it due to bad timing. In addition to this junmai sake, three other items including a ginjo sake are sold at the Hanshin Department Store in Umeda. I have not been able to find it because of bad timing.

Although the rice polishing ratio is 78%, it is very clean and limpid.
It gave the impression of a starmine bursting open at a fireworks display, and its fresh and delicious flavor spread across the palate ^_^.

I hope you all have started your drinking habits in good health.
We look forward to working with you again this year.
The first sake we opened in the new year was this one from Himi, Toyama, which is famous for its cold yellowtail catches. The sake has a good balance of rice flavor and acidity and is easy to drink.
I would like to pair it with Himi's cold yellowtail once again.

Jay & Nobby, thank you for your help this year 🙇.
I went to Himi about 15 years ago for a refresher vacation.
I'll never forget the delicious cold yellowtail I had at a restaurant there ❗️ which was so different from the supermarket ones!
I want to go back ❣️

This year, I chose the popular Koei-Kiku brand as my "toke". I found it at Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki, Osaka, where I sometimes visit, and brought it home.
It has a citrus 🍊 aroma, a grape-like sweetness, and a slightly astringent but clean finish.
It's always delicious!
I paired it with Matsuura pickles, a specialty of Saga, and we were able to taste them without disturbing each other's individuality ^_^.
The year is almost over. The flu is going around, but please take care of yourselves so that you can enjoy sake with a smile ☺️

Hi Shota 😃
We had some here a while ago too! It's as good as you say 😋 We stopped by Matsuura at a roadside station on our trip to Kyushu the year before last, but we didn't know about Matsuura pickles 😅.
Have a happy new year 🤗

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😀 Matsuura zuke is whale cartilage that is chopped and exposed to water to remove the fat,
It is made by chopping whale cartilage, removing the fat by exposing it to water and marinating it in sweet sake lees. It's a great snack, of course, but it's also great to eat it with hot rice. If you have a chance, please visit ❗️

It is a sake brewery located in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, different from the Shimane Prefecture brand "Honorable Ikegetsu".
It has a mature atmosphere when you open the bottle, and you can taste the delicious flavor of rice.

There are about 180 different brands of sake called "Masamune. The meaning of "Masamune" seems to be "Meitou," which translates to "sharp and sharp. It certainly has a sharp sharpness in its spiciness. This brewery is also known as the birthplace of Ichi-go yeast.

The label on the back of the bottle explains how the Yusa family, once samurai, became brewers after losing a battle.
It is a daiginjo with an elegant aroma and a light but delicious flavor.
It was reasonably priced and could be enjoyed as an in-between-dinner drink.

First of all, let us all rejoice that sake has been recognized as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage! I hope this will be a good opportunity to make more sake friends.
Shinkame Shuzo is a long-established brewery that has consistently focused on making pure rice sake. The name and label design are trendy these days, and the sake quality is not to everyone's taste, but I think it is an excellent sake worth drinking. As expected, this sake is recommended for warming up, but you can enjoy its rich flavor and the delicious taste of rice.
The color is amber, which is perfect for those who like heated sake!

It was brought to the Hokkaido Fair at Takatsuki Hankyu by chance. It had a crisp and clear taste, but (I can't describe it well) it might be a little difficult to drink.

It is labeled as a "very dry" sake of +10 degrees blended with three types of junmai sake, but it had a soft mouthfeel and a soft umami taste ^_^.
Immediately after opening the bottle, I enjoyed it cold, but then I thought, "What if I warm it up to enhance the umami?" I tried it warmed up and it was delicious with more sweetness and sharpness.
The price of sake has gone up, but you can find a lot of beautiful sake for less than 2,000 yen for a bottle!

I recommend that those of you who will retire next spring, or are close to retiring, to reconfirm your future plans.
There are cases where you may be entitled to an additional pension, so I thought it would be a good idea to check your pension letter ^_^.
This Shigemasu has a low alcohol content of 11 degrees. It has a light wine-like taste, but it also has a strong acidity and is delicious ^_^I finished it while I was thinking about heating it up😄.

Good evening, Mr. Shota 😃.

Good evening😄Sorry for the late reply🙇I saw this sake in a store and bought the label, I guess you could say. I was impressed by its low alcohol content but strong taste. I would like to drink it again if I have a chance 😋.

It's finally autumn. The nabe season has finally arrived! It is the season of nabe (hot pot). Hiyayogoshi is very tasty at this time of year ^_^.
This is a junmai hiyaoroshi from Naraman.
The pear-like fruity aroma and the soft taste were the driving force behind the food.

Climate change seems to be having a great impact on sake rice as well, and it was reported that one brewery was unable to produce some brands. On the other hand, a new variety of sake rice called "Moeibuki" was announced in Hiroshima Prefecture to cope with global warming.
I wondered what kind of sake would be brewed and what more could be done to help prevent global warming.
It has been a long time since I have tasted Koei Kiku. It was a light, refreshing sake with a fruity aroma like lychee. It can be enjoyed on its own.
