I drank it once at Maruhachi in Takadanobaba and shockingly liked it, so I bought it myself. If I had carried it around outside, it would have gotten a little slimy and the gassy feeling would have been weaker.

Pekho-san got a bottle of "Kudokibe" that he had been curious about at Sake-no-Wa at the Sake Brewery in the Seibu Food Hall B2!
According to the explanation on the label, "We want to make something addictive that can carve out a life with sake.
The rice is made from Banshu Aizan rice, which accounts for 8.3% of the Aizan harvest and is classified as a special top grade rice.
The impression is that this is the Junmai Daiginjo! The impression is pure, simple, clear, and yet deep.
The pure, simple, clear, yet deep umami of the rice continues throughout the bottle.
It is a pure, simple, clear, yet deep rice flavor that lasts throughout the entire bottle! That's the impression I got!
It is certainly addictive 😋.
It's one of the sake that I always want to keep in stock 😅.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows.
-Aroma: A modest ginjo aroma 👍
-The aroma is a little bit astringent and a little bit dry on the nose.

Aizan 33, well polished, elegant and powerful sake! We bought tuna and kanpachi sashimi at Seibu and started drinking slowly! We also had some pickles "Sake Dorobo" that we got in Hida Takayama. It was delicious!

Found this at the "Sake Brewery" in the Seibu Food Hall B2 🤩.
I was interested in it after reading Jay & Nobby's post, so I bought it without hesitation even though it was an Omachi.
According to the description, "Clear and sharp mouthfeel, mellow aroma and clean acidity. The mild aroma complements a variety of dishes as a food sake, and you can easily drink two or three glasses for a long time.
My impression is that the sweetness, moderate astringency, and spiciness are mixed together, and at the end, the astringency is released into the nose as an aroma, while the sweetness follows in parallel. Such was my impression 🍶.
It is sweet, but light and not too heavy, so you can drink it while eating, and you can drink it for a long time.
It was served chilled.
I was impressed by the aroma.
-Aroma: A modest ginjo aroma 👍
-Aroma: A slight astringency that comes through to the nose.

I found this Bodai Hashiwado Mimuro Sugi at Seibu Ikebukuro on a whim. I bought it on impulse because it was low in alcohol and had a cool jacket.
The aroma is mild lactic acid and cemedine. I like it. No gassiness.
Crisp sweetness. I expected a harsh acidity after that, but it's also refreshingly sour and crisp.
The aftertaste is a gentle acidity that lingers on smoothly.
The level is high. I thought it was the kind of sake served at a nice restaurant. I have not had much luck with Mimuro Cedar since my favorite liquor store does not carry it, but I would like to try it in the future.
Japanese>English

I met it at a liquor store in a department store on my way home and was drawn to buy it because it was limited to one bottle per person. It had a refreshing aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the 🍋-like acidity rushes in, leaving a clean aftertaste. I will be eating sashimi tonight, but I thought it would go better with meat.

Otter Blue 🫐.
First time getting a reimported sake from the US NY brewery!
I'll have to try this one 😁.
The rice is Yamadanishiki imported from Japan.
They hope to grow their own sake rice in America in the future!
It has a mix of umami and sourness, with the sourness prevailing.
But the reimported product costs more than twice as much as regular Junmai sake.
and it seems to be selling well in the US 🇺🇸
Well, it's ok😅.

When I was in Mie Yokkaichi this month, the owner of an izakaya (which offers an amazing number and brand of sake) told me about a sake he had recently recommended. I happened to come across it this week and bought it. The aroma reminded me of fresh greenery, and after taking a sip, the sweetness tightened up (instead of spreading out like other sake) and disappeared with the deep umami of the rice. It was one of the most notably delicious sakes I've had recently!

I had to go out to Tokyo to run some errands.
I remembered that there was a liquor store in the basement of Seibu, so I took a look while waiting for the La View to depart.
I got what I was looking for, a four-pack of Machida Sake Brewery's four-pack.
I was about to buy it, but all the places I looked had only one bottle.
I opened the bottle right away and found it to be juicy, not too sweet, and very crisp.
It is not heavy, so you can easily drink it.
Personally, I feel a strong affinity with Igarashi!
There were many fans in Ikebukuro this evening after watching the Lions-SoftBank game!

Finally 900 CI 😁.
Today's sake is a long-established sake from Saitama, Shinkame Junmai Namaishu.
I drink it cold at first.
Fresh and a little sour.
Fruity for a Shinkame!
Then, of course, it moved on to the Nobey Yokocho!
Plump and more umami
A moderate sourness flows through it
Now, Takarafuji, who seemed to have an overwhelming advantage
injured, looking forward to tomorrow's Chishu-rakura 😊.
