Timeline
パーム農家Junmai Kameguchi from Taman Juban. What is it...a faint lychee-like aroma. There is a hint of alcohol in the aroma. When you put it in your mouth, the alcohol feeling spreads and a hint of sweetness and astringency follows. When it combines with air in the mouth, it fires with a sharp taste. A dry, powerful, fresh sake. Very tasty. パーム農家On November 8, Ishikawa Sake Brewery and Tamura Sake Brewery held the Fussa Kurabiraki 2025 event on the same day, and I visited them with my family. This is Ishikawa Shuzo's special junmai sake. And it is labeled by Touji. The sweet aroma of rice rises softly. It is a very delicious sake with the freshness and roughness of new sake and a rich sweetness like soybean flour. パーム農家This is an autumn sake made with Taman's signature Omachi. This is a gorgeous autumn sake with a full-bodied flavor and a juicy, Omachi-like texture. It is fruity but not fresh. When fruity ripens...well, I wonder what it turns into. It's different from ripe fruit, too. It is not that ripe.
Japanese sweets?
No, no, yes, it might be ripe like a dried persimmon.
Dried persimmon or dried sweet potato...it has that kind of charm. パーム農家Taman's newest sake, Arabashiri. The young koma on the label is very youthful. The sweet melon-like aroma rises to the surface. The juicy fruitiness fills the mouth and disappears with a refreshing acidity. It has strength and roughness, which is typical of new sake, but the balance between sweetness and acidity is very good. パーム農家Today, October 26th, is Ishikawa Sake Brewery's October Appreciation Day. There was a lineup of new sake, but Taman Boast still has some autumn sake that I haven't tried yet, so I'll start with that.
So I went for the junmai hiyaoroshi.
The aroma was subdued. Slightly sweet, but with a deep flavor that has been aged over the summer. I might want to warm it up a little... パーム農家I heard that today, October 1, is Sake Day. Since I am not very familiar with it, I can't help but think of it as "Kyou~u wa nani no hi, fufu~" (What a day!)
On such a day, I realized that I had made a mistaken purchase. I was supposed to buy a Yaegiku Aki-agari, but I bought a bottle of Nama-zake.
Soft fruity aroma...sweet. Pineapple type?
Ah...delicious...not a namaishige type, but it has a unique sourness, and the rice flavor comes out well. It seems to combine a big, syrupy sweetness with the elegant sweetness of the Wasanbon type, which is both familiar and refined...
I've been really into Tokyo sake for the past year, especially Ishikawa Shuzo and Ozawa Shuzo, so this seems like an appropriate bottle for the day for me. パーム農家A summer vacation for a forty year old man. Will it be a good way to end it? Today, Saturday, September 27, my eldest son and I went to Ishikawa Sake Brewery's Appreciation Day. We won the first prize in last month's lottery for purchases over 3,000 yen, and received a Daiginjo cake. I used it as a card to keep my wife in a good mood.
The limited edition sake for this month's Thanksgiving Day is a junmai (pure rice) autumn sake. It has a melon-like aroma with a strong umami and bitterness, and is not too sweet, making it easy to drink. The umami is rich and thick. Although I enjoyed the sweet limited edition sake during the summer, I was reminded how much I like this kind of sake with less sweetness and more umami. パーム農家Taman proudly brews its Junmai Namaishu using Tokyo rice and water. Although there is no sake rice produced in Tokyo, Ishikawa Brewery has brewed several sakes using food rice produced in Tokyo. This junmai sake is made with Koshihikari rice. It has a kinako-like aroma. Perhaps because the rice is not polished very much, it is full of complex umami flavor. It's sad that in sake terms it's often called miscellaneous flavor. It's a fluffy junmai sake with a bran-like...or maybe a gentle kinako-like grain type flavor. Delicious - I like this kind of sake. パーム農家I bought this [sweetness-obsessed ⭐︎ mellow junmai ginjo] at Ishikawa Shuzo's Appreciation Day.
Beautiful yellow-green color. The aroma is of the Wasanbon type. The mouthfeel is light and smooth.
The taste is...sweet, this is sweet. It has a sugarcane-like sweetness with no fruitiness. The slightly greenish atmosphere is also cane-like. The finish is austere, so you don't get tired of drinking it.
But how can they serve something different every month? I'm really impressed. 
パーム農家Today is Ishikawa Brewery's Appreciation Day. We received this Junmai Nama-nihonjunshu (pure rice sake) as the third month of the "Stamp Rally"! Stamp Rally], so we had this Junmai Nama Nama Sake.
The lingering summer heat is still very hot, and although I first had a craft beer, Tama no Blessing Pilsner, there was a rather cool breeze, and I could feel the footsteps of autumn. That being the case, we decided to open a bottle of sake as well...so we opened a bottle of this one.
It has a sweet melon aroma. The rich sweetness and umami spreads in the mouth as it thickens. The sweetness has a bitter taste like brown sugar, making it a very strong flavor. It is also delicious on the rocks.
This is the 6th month of participating in the Thanksgiving Day. It was so hot that I was about to give up, but I was right to come.
It seems like I eat dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) every time... mika_rshmomI too participated in the Thanksgiving Day brewery tour yesterday! I see you were able to join us?
I enjoyed it as well!
And it's amazing that it's been 6 months! パーム農家Thank you for your comments, mika_rshmom. I am going to try to go through it for a year somehow. パーム農家Direct-packaged, warehouse-bought sake purchased at the recent Ishikawa Sake Brewery Appreciation Day, "Sweet Youth! Refreshing Junmai Ginjo". It is characterized by a rich bitterness like cocoa. It has a rich, cocoa-like bitterness, and although it is masked by the bitterness, it has a richness that seems to have a lot of sugar content. Is the youth element bitter or sweet? Sweetness? パーム農家Yaegiku by Ishikawa Sake Brewery.
Purchased at a Thanksgiving Day in June.
It has a pleasant, clean aroma of rice. The rice flavor is well expressed, and the low milled rice adds a nice tangy taste that makes the sake very drinkable and heavy. パーム農家Taman Boast's Tokyo no Mori received at Ishikawa Brewery's June Appreciation Day. It is a so-called taru-shu. Unlike the directly bottled taru-shu available at the Appreciation Day, the cedar aroma is gentle and gentle. パーム農家Hana-saku Junmai-shu, a directly bottled Junmai-shu, was purchased at Ishikawa Shuzo's June Appreciation Day. The aroma is gorgeous and refreshing, like a combination of green apple and pineapple. The taste is impressive with a fruity sweetness that goes well with the fine bubbles. The bitterness in the aftertaste is reminiscent of pineapple. パーム農家I purchased this ice cold bottle of Taman Boast on a recent Thanksgiving Day. This bottle is intended to be served on the rocks. It has a refreshing aroma of watermelon, or perhaps rumney. I was a little surprised that the aroma was still present even with ice. The taste also has a strong sake flavor. Although the alcohol content is not that high (16%), you can still taste the sake flavor even with ice. I would say that this is a very well-made sake. パーム農家Taman Pride Sparkling Sake. I thought it would be good for summer and bought it on a recent Thanksgiving Day. To be honest, I didn't like it very much. I didn't expect a sake filled with carbon dioxide gas to have such a tinny taste...
The luminescence-derived fizziness is good, but the filled soda gas is not... another mystery of sake...
I mean, it's not strange or anything, but it still tastes unnatural. パーム農家Today is Ishikawa Brewery's Appreciation Day, a stamp card that is issued for purchases of qualifying products for three consecutive months. This time, I received a four-pack of sake for completing the stamp card. I was surprised because I thought it was a smaller bottle. The brewery may have left it unsold, but the drinker was delighted.
It has a mellow melon-like aroma and a sweet, rich flavor. I know this may sound insistent, but they offered us a 4-gou bottle for completing the stamp card... they are so generous that I have become a fan even more and more. パーム農家Hamura by Ishikawa Shuzo, the brewer of Tamanjutsu. Purchased at the recent Ishikawa Sake Brewery Appreciation Day. The sweet aroma of this sake is very delicious.
Wow! The fruity, refreshing sweetness fills the mouth, and the abundant umami bounces around with a freshness that is typical of nama-zake...it's just perfect. パーム農家Ishikawa Shuzo Thanksgiving Day limited edition fragrance! Mellow Junmai Ginjo. Refreshing apple aroma. A sweet and sour juicy junmai ginjo with a fruity flavor. The finish is tangy and astringent with a very well-balanced flavor. We are glad we came again this month! パーム農家This is the brewer's secret sake draft that I purchased on Thanksgiving Day at Ishikawa Brewery. The hi-ire was drunk sloppily during the Thanksgiving Day and I didn't keep a record of it.
Yogurt-like sour aroma. The rich sweetness fills the mouth. The mouthfeel is also a bit mellow, and when swallowed, it leaves a lingering aftertaste with astringency. I think the impression was similar to that of the fire-aged one. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
