くるま麩
It's hard to decide which sake to drink now that so many different kinds of autumn sake are available... This time, I went with my favorite, Nabeshima! The nose has an orange 🍊-like acidity, umami, and bitterness that I can tell is probably from the aging process. In the mouth, there is a slight gasiness and a refreshing mouthfeel. ✨️ It has a light taste with rice flavor and a bitter aftertaste 😌. I paired it with Japanese food such as grilled saury and enjoyed it very much.

I received my first bottle of Tasake. There is no store near me where I can buy it, so I put it aside for a while to enjoy, and finally opened it! Junmai Ginjo made with Aomori Prefecture's first rice suitable for sake brewing, Kojo-Nishiki! The aroma is mellow, rich, and elegant, with a hint of dried grapes. From the light mouthfeel and silky texture, It has a light mouthfeel and silky texture, with a full-bodied, bitter flavor that is extremely delicious. It is a beautiful sake. ✨️ I felt that the depth of flavor increased the next day, rather than when it was just opened, and I enjoyed the gradation of flavors that spread from the cool mouthfeel☺.

This is the first time I drank Doubleday in the last year! It is made from a fantastic sake rice called Koraiyako, and I was curious to buy it because I had never seen it before, except for a special junmai from Yamaguchi Prefecture's Yamazaru, which I had drunk before! It has a sweet aroma of tropical fruits reminiscent of pineapple, and at the same time, it gives a mild impression! It has a refreshing mouthfeel and a juicy sweetness that is typical of nama-zake, The full-bodied umami and bitterness soon arrive, giving it a deep and calm feeling. ✨️ The sweetness is not persistent and disappears quickly, making it very easy to drink and enjoy☺.

New saury at the supermarket, Sake stores are starting to sell hiya-otoshi (freshly grated sake). I found my favorite brand "Yokoyama" hiyaoroshi and bought it immediately! I bought a large saury at the supermarket and set it up: ✨️ The aroma is slightly muscat-like, but more melon and melon-like. It has a smooth, winey, fruity mouthfeel that is typical of Yokoyama☺. And this is where the hiyaoroshi really comes into its own. The flavor that seems to rush out of it spreads! The full-bodied sweetness like dried fruits and a slight alcohol taste that leaves the nose and softens. The soft, mellow aroma with a hint of alcohol that escapes through the nose is wonderful. ✨️ It goes perfectly with the plump and oily new saury, which refreshes the palate and adds even more depth of flavor. ☺️

Apple Carp 🍎 with red on the carp The aroma and taste are sweet and sour, reminiscent of a refreshing apple, just as the name suggests! The alcohol content is a low 13%, and the mouthfeel is smooth and solid, but it goes down easy ☺. The sweetness of glutinous rice, which is typical of Seimasamune, is only slightly noticeable in the aftertaste when the bottle is opened, but as the days go by, you can clearly taste it as the acidity becomes gentler ✨. For me, I especially enjoyed the gradation between the refreshing acidity and the glutinous rice sweetness that gradually spreads on the third and fourth days after opening.

Visited Gunma during Obon vacation After sightseeing at Mt. Akagi and Mt. Haruna, we visited the Makino Sake Brewery and purchased some of the sake recommended by the brewer. The clear red color from the yeast and the label reminded me of a rosé wine 🍷. It reminds me of a rosé wine! The aroma is moderate, with a hint of sweetness and acidity from the rice, It is easy to drink, with a thick mouthfeel and fine bubbles of gas. The color is also due to the honeyed sweetness of strawberries! It is a true dessert sake, and if you try it with vanilla ice cream, you may enjoy it even more with its creaminess. ✨️

I wanted to try an unusual sake. This time, SENKOU NATURES The sake is made by a very old method, no yeast is added, the rice is polished to 90%, and it is brewed in wooden vats. The rice was organic Kame-no-o, which is a very rare and rare type of rice. The rice is organic Kame-no-o! The aroma is fruity like muscat The aroma is fruity like muscat, but at the same time, it's like raw rice. I have never smelled such a strange aroma in my life! It has a beautiful mouthfeel with a little bit of gasiness. The acidity is refreshing, like Sentori, throughout, The umami spreads softly in the latter half of the bottle. ✨️ I thought it would have a strong taste like brown rice because it is low-polished, but it has a delicate impression and the aroma through the nose is full and enjoyable☺.

Obon We are drinking happily in a group every day... Family picked up "Yamamoto" in Akita Sunshine yellow for summer 🌻. Yamahai Junmai Ginjo strongly recommended to be drunk chilled! The aroma is rich and slightly floral with a hint of yogurt. In the mouth, it is easy to drink with very clean acidity. Umami, sourness, and bitterness develop in the latter half of the bottle. The acidity and the flavor in the latter half of the bottle complement the meal without interfering with each other. ✨️ It went very well with side dishes such as simmered motsu (pork cutlet) and bamboo shoots simmered in Tosa sauce☺.

A bottle I drank with my parents when I went home for the Obon holiday. It is my favorite "Nabeshima" from Saga! This time it was a junmai ginjo made with "Kitashizuku," a variety from Hokkaido. Slightly gassy. The fruity yet clear acidity makes it easy to drink. It seems to penetrate without any resistance and is very easy to drink! It is easy to drink without resistance. It has a sharp, yet satisfying aftertaste with alcohol, acidity, bitterness, and umami. ✨️

The first brand I tasted, "Ni-Hare" from Aichi Okazaki! It is a very interesting sake with the concept of "only those who chase two hares will get two hares," and the sake is a well-balanced product of both contradictory flavors! The sake we tried was a junmai sake made with Yamadanishiki. It has a full-bodied sweetness, acidity, and an alcoholic aroma, It has a mild yet clear mouthfeel, The taste is centered around a moderate acidity, with the umami of the rice gradually spreading, and the bitterness towards the end of the bottle gives a satisfying feeling. ✨️ It was 3㌥ and I finished it in an instant because it was easy to drink despite its robust flavor☺.

くるま麩
First "Bikou". When I drank Kameizumi last year, I was impressed by the aroma of CEL, a yeast from Kochi Prefecture, so when I found a sake made with CEL-24 from Biyoke, I was attracted to buy it! The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and sour, reminiscent of pineapple🍍, and I am always amazed that such an aroma can be produced in sake. It has a slightly gassy mouthfeel. The taste has a very fruity aroma while it feels dry. The acidity and tangy sharpness make it an interesting sake that can also be enjoyed as a food sake. ✨️

Hello, kuruma-fu 😃😃 Congratulations to CEL-24 for their first bijofu at ㊗️ 🎉Not quite the same, but we had a very tasty bijofu for the first time at the beginning of the year too... Did you know that "bijofu" doesn't get muddy at the end?

I was curious about this brand, "Yuki no Mayu" from Niigata. It is a rare sake brewed in a single-stage brewing process, so I was wondering if it was sweet and sour 🤔. I was imagining how it would taste 🤔. Refreshing sweet yogurt aroma. From the gaseous mouthfeel, the sweet and sour taste with a hint of creaminess lingers on the nose. Aftertaste: a good taste of rice and bitterness that goes through to the nose! Although the alcohol content is a little low at 14 degrees, it is surprisingly strong and gives a satisfying depth to the aftertaste. The taste was somewhat distant after opening, but after letting it sit overnight, it became a very enjoyable sake with a strong aftertaste, especially in the latter half of the bottle ✨.

Kuroryu Shuzo, Fukui, Japan We had another brand of Kutouryuu before, so this time we had Kuroryu. Junmai Ginjo made from Gohyakumangoku rice. The aroma of melon, which I also felt in the previous junmai sake of Kutouryuu, is a little bit deep with sweeter fruity taste, rice flavor, and alcohol. Smooth and clear mouthfeel. The beautiful drinking comfort, the moderate umami and bitterness that spreads slowly, and the flavor are very elegant and satisfying. ✨️

The brand I was interested in, "Hiran" from Hirado, Nagasaki! A summer sake made from the oldest sake brewery in Japan 💦. The aroma is of apples and bananas in the distance. It has a gassy mouthfeel and is refreshingly sweet and sour and silky at the same time. ✨️ The closer it gets to room temperature, the richer it becomes and the more lactic acidic it becomes, the more enjoyable it is. It is a summer sake that disappears quickly at the end, so it is very delicious.

Sake from Yoshino, Nara Prefecture I knew this sake brewery as a mizu-hashiro sake brewer, but this time I drank a recently released light nigori sake. The aroma is of lactic acid beverage type acidity, with a strong fruity flavor. The mild taste is followed by alcohol and a firm umami taste! After that, the lingering taste of alcohol, robust umami, and bitterness makes it a perfect drink!
