しょう太July 7. The first cicadas were heard this morning! This is the third sake I bought at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival. When I tasted it, I liked the pineapple-like aroma, the round mouthfeel, and the balance between the umami of the rice and the mouthwatering acidity, so I bought a bottle. It is a popular Omachi rice. When I asked the person in charge, "This is the first time I have seen you in Kansai," he replied, "I don't have much time to spare..." He was a quiet and serious person.　He seemed quiet and serious, so I thought, "I would like to meet him again. This brewery is located in Kurashiki, famous for the Bikan Historical Quarter, and also brewed under the brand name of "Ishichi".

ポンちゃんHi Shota, ☀️ I forgot to taste the hermitage 😱 so good that you have to buy it by the bottle, very regretful 😭.

しょう太 Good morning, Pon-chan 😃Gozaimasu. Iori: The taste is getting better day by day. It is my favorite 🍶 I basically buy one bottle. I have space in my fridge to store two bottles standing up.

しょう太This is the second bottle I purchased at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival. It has an elegant aroma, a soft taste, and a beautiful finish. It goes well with Japanese dishes such as bacon wrapped in cheese, ginkgo fish with fried gingko mushrooms, simmered sardines, and more! This brewery offers 550 yen for shipping in the Kansai area, so I might consider mail order...

ポンちゃんHi Shota, ☀️ I enjoyed the sake festival... I only drank the draft, but the omachi was delicious💕This one seems to be more food friendly😊👍
Japanese>English
しょう太Hi Pon-chan 😃I tried the Aoi Tenka tasting, I also tried the draft but I thought the hi-yere version was better suited for me. The flavor is so gentle that I have to restrain myself or I will drink too much 😊.

しょう太Kinoshita Sake Brewery is known as a brewery brewed by an English toji. This sake was the first bottle I purchased at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival. It was a junmai ginjo recommended at the tasting. The label on the bottle said "Ichi-go yeast" but I couldn't remember what it was. After returning home, I looked it up and found that it was a yeast isolated from the "Sakura Masamune" sake mother. I had drunk summer sake "Ice Breaker" and "Fukubukuro" before, but this was the first time for me to drink sake made with No.1 yeast. The image I have of Tamagawa is a heavy sake with a solid structure, but this sake was easy to drink. After opening the bottle, the aroma was like grapefruit or melon. The sweetness spreads on the palate and the acidity quickly breaks through. It was very tasty 😋.

しょう太Sake with no specific name on the body label. It is labeled as 83% Mishima Omachi, but it does not say "Junmai-shu" (Mishima Omachi is a sake rice that was revived about 60 years ago). (Mishima Omachi is said to be a sake rice that was revived about 60 years ago.) The ingredients and alcohol content are also written in small letters, making them difficult to understand. The aroma after opening the bottle is like whiskey. It tastes like it has been laid down in a whiskey barrel, and although it is light, it is a difficult sake to drink, and I thought it was not suitable as a food sake. On the second day, I drank it on the rocks, and it tamed the harsh taste, but the peculiar flavor remained the same. It was the same in a tin tumbler. I think "Bongu" and "Ryusen" are better suited for me...

しょう太Kawamoku is a sake store in Neyagawa City, Osaka. I sometimes stop by to buy sake, as there are many brands that I cannot find in other stores. Although they did not have Hanahayo or Shinshu Kamerei, I bought this sake recommended by the master. It is a sharp dry sake with a light sweetness. It has a refreshing taste. I recommend this sake as a food sake that goes well with shrimp sauce, yakisai, bonito tataki, and any other dishes! The panda illustration is also cute.

しょう太Awaichiba is a super dry Junmai sake made from 100% Yamadanishiki. As the name suggests, it has a spicy taste and the sweetness of Yamadanishiki spreads in the mouth. Naruto sea bream is known for its refreshing sake quality, fruity taste, and sharpness. It is a perfect match for sea bream caught in the whirlpools of Naruto. Last fall a female toji was born, and the facilities and lineup have been completely renewed. ❗️ We look forward to the future development of the company. ‼️

しょう太I purchased Naruto Tai, a representative brand of Tokushima, through online shopping. I have purchased Naruto Tai in the past, but this time I purchased two bottles from the "Tomoe" series in addition to the special junmai shown in the photo. I am glad I registered as a member of this brewery because they sometimes send out special deals and also offer free shipping and points for purchases over 7000 yen 😃. The quality of the sake was like wine with a mellow aroma and sharpness. The sweetness comes with it. It was also clean and refreshing on the throat.

しょう太We met a mannequin at the Daimaru Kyoto store and purchased the sake. The brewery is located in the northern part of Lake Biwa, and I was allowed to sample some Junmai sake while chatting with the owner, who told me that the brewery of Furoizumi was also nearby. The aroma when the bottle was opened was subdued. The acidity was well cut. We had it with salted fried noodles and zangi (fried chicken in Hokkaido) as snacks, and it was just like a cup of tea!
Japanese>English
ポンちゃんGood morning, Shota! ☀️ I haven't been to Daimaru in Kyoto for a long time, but I see you are having a sales event 😊👍I've never seen this label before😳It looks delicious during a meal: ❣️

しょう太After opening the bottle, the impression is of a Junmai sake with a fruity aroma that is calm and crisp. The aftertaste lingers for a long time. Purchased at the Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki, Osaka. When I visited the store, there was only one item of this junmai sake, but I got a good deal.

しょう太This was the last bottle left in the Leach Inkler. I bought it without hesitation because it was fresh on the lees. When I opened the bottle, the cap almost flew off 🫢At the same time, the same aroma as when I was in the brewery spread all over the place and I lost myself for a moment 🤪. The mouthfeel is pleasantly juicy and spicy. The sweetness followed afterwards. It is very delicious! It is ^_^! I hear that the breweries in Fukushima have won the most number of gold medals in the National New Sake Competition for the past nine years. I see that all the breweries are working together to recover from the earthquake!

しょう太I bought this brand at a local supermarket because it was about to run out of stock. I don't remember the specs, but I remember drinking it once in the distant past. The aroma after opening the bottle was not so strong, but it was sharp and well-balanced. It is reasonably priced and suitable for evening drinking. Speaking of Yamagata sake, Tohoku Izumi and Ruri-no-Umi leave a strong impression on me.

しょう太Following the last time, we tasted W purchased from Kagiya Sake Shop♪ This time we tasted it with Yamada Nishiki. It was smooth, gentle and well-balanced. It had a hint of juiciness like an apple. Today we enjoyed it with boiled sausage with lemon flavor, minced eggplant stuffing, and Tenshindon rice, and I got the impression that it did not lose at all😄. The sweetness is enhanced when lukewarm, but the sharpness increases when heated. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, and it washes off nicely. I basically buy one bottle. There are only a few items that I can find, but it's interesting to be able to drink it in various ways 😄.

しょう太(Wooden Oke Brewing, Cotton Pressing) This is my first purchase from Kagiya, a sake store I am a registered member of, because of their free shipping campaign. The brewery brews Hourai, a representative brand of Hida. When you open the bottle, it has an amber color, which is typical of unfiltered sake. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing, so it is easy to drink even for beginners. On the fifth day after opening the mouth, it has a gorgeous aroma like pineapple, and its sweetness increases.
