Houkai's Nigori Nama Sake
This is the first time for me to taste this one, surprisingly acidic.
I think it is a dry sake.

This is my first sake from Shimane 🍶.
According to the website, no filtration, at most one time fire-fermentation, stored at -5℃ (distributors are also required to keep the temperature at -5℃😳), no blending, no sales except to distributors.
We always want to be a sake with the style of a champion.
This is a very hard-core sake brewery!
Delicious 😋.
Dry sake with bitterness as the main taste: ❗️ hard-core ‼️
No sweet and tasty elements at all: ❗️
As a lover of sweet and tasty sake, this should not be my favorite flavor,
But for some reason, I don't find it to be my weak point at all.
It is a strange taste that makes you keep drinking it as if you were bowing down before the king.
It is indeed a sake from Shimane, the land of the gods 😐.
It's hard to describe, but it's delicious 😋.
I served it chilled.
The aroma is as follows.
-Aroma: Pungent and pungent
-Bitter taste in the nose.

ぺっほ
A new sensation! It looks hot, not spicy, not sweet. The aroma reveals that it is by bitterness and minerality. And it has a sharpness that you don't even notice! Maybe that's why it is 17.5 degrees Celsius, but it's a strange sensation to be able to drink it smoothly. A surprising sake!

Good morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
Our first Shimane sake was a small bottle of Ohroku from here 😌I liked it sweet at the time 😋 but this one reminded me of my love for dry 😚.

Good morning, shinsakud3 and Pekho!
I think the first Shimane sake would be "Oroku", I was the same 😁.
I wonder if it's because it's a place where the gods gather, so it's mainly for local consumption and there's not much of it in circulation 🤔.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
So your first visit to Shimane was to Oroku 😃.
We are starting to come across a lot of good dry sake lately too,
So there's a good chance you'll like the dry one too 😅.

Good evening, Jive 😃.
I see your first Shimane was Oroku, Jive-san 😃.
This austere atmosphere, dry, name with a king, the land where the gods gather.
I was a little nervous 😅 but it was delicious 😋.

I bought this sake at the Tokyo store of a well-known sake shop in Hiroshima, because it was known as a "food sake" and was restocked due to its popularity!
It was easy to drink while still having the strength of a sake that is hard to believe it is a ogara-mi sake, and sake and food went well together 😯.

It is a stable Machida Sake Brewery!
It was a cosy sake for 1,300 yen.
It was chili fresh and very tasty.
No photo, but a senior employee of mine bought a bottle of Machida Brewery's MM Spider at Mashidaya in Tochigi, and it had a crown that was blown off and was very shwashy.
They make interesting sake!

Last time was Houraisen, followed by Hourai.
Very refreshing ^ ^
Citrusy freshness 🍊
It has a nice sharpness, and the gentle sweetness and spiciness coexist in equal measure, which is a strange feeling ^ ^.
It is spicier than I imagined.
It is suitable for both evening and in-between-dinner drinks. ☺️

It has a subtle fruity aroma, an elegant apple-like sweetness on the palate, and a clean, crisp taste with no acidity and a slight dryness. It is delicious both during and after dinner, even when drunk alone.

It's that time of year♪
A bottle that asserts its acidity quite well.
I bought this at the Seibu side,
but when I went to the Tobu side, I found a sake bar 🍶 near the sake corner.
Sake bar 🍶 near the sake corner was turned into an ice cream shop.
It's a pity 😢.

On the way home, I asked what sake they recommended to go with sashimi, and I bought this one from among the three choices they offered. It was delicious, with a slightly floral aroma, a subtle sweetness in the mouth, and the perfect amount of spiciness from the umami.

Sake made from 100% Omachi rice
Mild sweetness spreads in the mouth, followed by a pleasant acidity that is well balanced. It is easy to drink with no cloying taste, and it goes down your throat nicely ✨.
I feel that there is nothing wrong with Omachi, but this sake is the most delicious Omachi sake I have ever tasted 😊.

A bottle that I opened and drank through in a matter of seconds. I must remind you...
On the first day, it was very fizzy and dry, even pungent; after the second day, the usual muscat aroma came through, and the last glass on the fourth day had a nice harmony of sweetness and acidity, thanks to the oli that had accumulated.
I have never been a fan of sake injected with carbon dioxide gas, as it seems a bit artificial compared to sake with stronger gas or secondary fermentation in the bottle, but I really enjoyed the changes that could be felt over time.
It's been a while since I've had a micro-bubble of Tasake, too.
