Yatagarasu吉野千本桜 本醸造本醸造

Purchased during a visit to a sake fair in Tennoji, Osaka last month. The cherry blossoms have long since fallen, but the bottle is finally open. Yatagarasu is often seen in Nara, but not so often outside of the prefecture. This is sake! The aroma is very nice, and the color is a little yellowish. It has the sharpness and dryness characteristic of Nara's local sake. It is full, but the sharpness is more impressive. It has a strong bitterness, so it may not be suitable for sake beginners.

Purchased during a visit to a sake fair in Tennoji, Osaka. At room temperature. Slightly yellowish. Mild with a mild taste. Not too spicy. The aftertaste is neither long nor short. It seems to go well with strong flavored food. The cherry blossoms have already started to fall, but this sake is perfect for cherry blossom viewing.

Sake last purchased at the Kintetsu Department Store's sake tour! It is full-bodied. I guess it's a dry sake with a delicious taste. Personally, I find it easier to drink dry honjozo than dry junmai. I'd like to try Gintagawa, but Niigata Kome doesn't have it in stock, so I guess I'll have to buy it.

Hello bouken, ☀️ I'm not sure if you can find it at Mokome! 😳That's very rare! I am amazed at the number of breweries in Niigata💦.

Good evening, Ponchan 😃 Maybe if it's fire-returned, they might have it, but I don't see many room temperature shelves 😅Niigata decrease is the number now, so it must have been great in the past 😳.

I bought this when I visited a sake fair in Tennoji, Osaka. It is a common sake in Nara, but you rarely see it outside the Kansai region. At room temperature. It has a light taste with a mouthfeel between soft and hard water, characteristic of Nara's sake. Slightly dry. The aftertaste is very full, with a hint of umami. The aftertaste is rather short. After the second sip, it gradually mellows out. Perfect for the cherry blossom viewing season.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store's Sake Tour. Seems to use Someiyoshino cherry yeast. Fresh and juicy. The acidity is quite strong. It has an atmosphere similar to that of Gojogawa Sakura by Isaoheki, which also uses the same cherry blossom yeast, but it is more refreshing than Isaoheki. The other two I tasted were more fruity, but I felt they were not enough, so I chose this one, but this one has a weak sweetness. If it were a little sweeter and darker, it would have a flavor similar to the Issen Heki, but it's too bad. It would be more similar to the Heki if it were at room temperature. Is it a typical case that "A-Sakura" lacks decisive power? I thought so when I tasted it, but Nemuchi and T.KISO said the same thing 🤣.

Good evening, bouken😄. I'm so relieved to hear that Legend has the same impression as me 🤣 I wonder if it's just one more breath, or two 😅. I don't know, I feel like I'm just one or two breaths away 😅.

Hi T.KISO 😃 I'm afraid I'm going to be buried amongst all the other grain Akita sake 😅. There are so many other sake brands out there, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to lower my priority...

I bought a cup of sake from a brewery I don't usually buy from at the sake corner of the Kintetsu Department Store. Taruhira Shuzo has an image of heated sake, but the sake was clear and light, and could be served cold without any problems. It is an easy-drinking cup of sake that does not feel too spicy or sake-like. There is no ginjo aroma and it does not taste like a daiginjo. It has a delicious rice flavor and a unique and distinctive taste. I would like to try the Yukimukae namaishu that was sold at the Hankyu Department Store's Sake Brewer's Festival.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store's Sake Tour. The label is a sheep kept at the brewery. It has a slight sweetness, and is full, rich, and powerful. It has a strong richness. It might be good if it is laid down. There are graininess and nutty nuances. I guess it's normal for a good price. I didn't buy Yamahai because I didn't want the similar taste to continue, but Yamahai might have been better... It's the third day, but I think it's getting sweeter and tastier than the first day.

I bought it at a sake shop in Kintetsu Department Store. I can't read "mother-of-pearl" 🤣I heard it is read as "Uzume", but if you type "den" for mother-of-pearl in your phone, it will come up 😁. If I lived a normal life, I would never use this kanji 😅. I got the impression it's a pineapple with a bit of bitterness 🍍. It was sweeter when I tasted it, so maybe it's sweeter after some time, but it's 500ml and I can't wait that long 🤣. Maybe the aroma is a bit peculiar.

Tasted at the sake tour at Kintetsu Department Store. Following Misato Nishiki was Akita Sake Komachi. It seemed to have a more robust flavor than the Misato Nishiki, but at the tasting level, the difference was basically too subtle to be noticeable. Therefore, we did not buy it. I was told that Gin no Sei's unfiltered unpasteurized sake was made with cherry blossom yeast, so I bought this one. I bought this one. The young lady was very nice. I had been passing it up until now, but I thought I would stop by when I came to the department store 😊.

Tasted at the sake tour at Kintetsu Department Store. I thought A-Sakura was my favorite type of sake, but I haven't had it since Ringo-chan😅. I asked the brewer what is the sweetest one. I asked the brewer what is the sweetest one. The fruity and refreshing sweetness made me think of Yukino Kayasha. I didn't buy it because it lacks decisive power.

Shinjou-san, here's my first question 🙋. The exact opposite question from mine 😁. Did you buy a cup of sake?
Japanese>English
しんじょう
Every time I'm in the area, I'm always in the mood for a new cup. I bought 7 of them, many good ones for cups. I chose a dry one, a colored one and a pretty one. I don't drink much, so it's a small capacity that helps!

I went to the sake tour at Kintetsu Department Store. From the beginning, I had my eye on mother-of-pearl. I thought about buying this one because it was reasonably priced, but I decided to go with the activated nigori and the slightly more expensive junmai ginjo because they are similar in type to the Tamagawa I'm drinking now 😋. It has a rich, slightly caramelized sweetness. Tamagawa? is tropical, but the weight is similar, so I thought it might be a little tough. They had a variety of bottles, but I think most of them were expensive. 300ml bottles were also available, so there was a lot of choice. You had fire-roasted and fresh, all lined up in the fridge. When I got home and drank Tamagawa and Reijin, I wondered if Reijin was more like Hadeshiki.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi 🌃 I couldn't go on Saturday so I went on Sunday, but there were a few items that were sold out in the other warehouses 😥. There was a lady there to help me, but I couldn't tell if she was from the warehouse or not😅.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

To be honest, I couldn't taste it because I opened it after finishing the gyoza party (after drinking a lot of beer), but it left a fruity impression. I left a little bit, so I would like to taste it next time. By the way, the gyoza is Maruoka's gyoza which is headquartered in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki. It's crispy and delicious, so if you have a restaurant nearby, please try it.

On July 17th, I drank a small amount of the remaining bottle as a midday sake. It was more alcoholic than the last time I drank it, and the sweetness was gone (^o^;).

It was recommended by a shop assistant and I bought it because it was a seasonal product. The rice polishing ratio is 65%, but the taste is clear and uncluttered. The sourness comes first, and then the sweetness. The aftertaste is quite refreshing. The aftertaste is quite refreshing and dry. It was a new type for me. The "Natsu Junmai Nama" is not a fluke. Sake has a lot of depth, doesn't it~( ´~)

First Hassen. Oh, it's like this? At the first sip, you can feel the sourness and the sweetness at the same time, but it changes to the spicy taste in a second. To feel the sweetness, you need to roll it around a little in your mouth. If you gulp it down immediately, you will probably get the impression that it is a dry sake with a strong sour taste. It is not my favorite sake, but it has its own character, and I think those who like dry sake will find it easy to drink.

On the way home from drinking at the office, I went to the Depa Basement to taste some sake. I was able to compare three kinds of sake from the same brewery, and this one was the most suitable for me, so I took it home with me. The clerk who explained it to me said that it's a vintage sake that's been aged for a year, which makes it more tender and delicious. I'm sure you'll like it. I'm not going to open it today, but I'm going to drink it slowly on my day off.

みやぞー
We couldn't wait for the holiday and opened this bottle today! It has a spicy feeling that I didn't feel when I tasted it. It also has the tartness that the clerk mentioned. The aftertaste remains strong, so you can enjoy the lingering aftertaste. The acidity was also just right for me. I want to drink it again (^-^)
