玉川 純米 ひやおろし 辛口 Tamagawa Junmai Hiyaoroshi Karakuchi 精米歩合 66% アルコール 17-18% Today we are enjoying Tamagawa Junmai Hiyaoroshi Karakuchi The Seimaibuai is 66% percent, so NOT a Ginjo. Alcohol is between 17~18% so a little high. Definitely Dry, particularly for a Nama Purchased at Takano Sakaya (Otaru)

Hakuba no Kishi Junmai Daiginjo Nama Hakuba no Kishi Junmai Daiginjo Nama Nigori Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15 Seimaibuai 50% Alcohol 15 The first sip reminds one of a mild fruitiness like banana or melon. The sweetness of koji goes well with white rice. Sushi, onigiri, chazuke (rice with green tea), etc. would be good. Thick mouth feel, really sticks to your teeth & tongue Flavor is like melon or unripe banana. Rather sweet as we approach the bottom of the bottle. Goes well with fresh peach slices and Nagano Purple grapes. Purchased @ Otaru Takano on 2025/09/18

Chrisbrz
The flavor is a little sweet, with a thick mouthfeel the flavor lingers a while Tangy finish
Chrisbrz
pretty good partner with sashimi/sushi but probably a better match with more robust flavored foods
Chrisbrz
This would be a great sake to drink on its own while having a conversation with an old friend
Chrisbrz
I enjoyed it and will probably buy it again

I guess you could say it brings out the best in food. I'll have it. Sampled over two nights Initial flavor is slightly bitter and medium dry. A tangy finish with a mild sweetness that coats your mouth. Paired nicely with lemon butter salmon foil Yaki, pork & gyoja garlic but not as well with soft cheeses.

But watch out, the alcohol sneaks up on you! My wife says: A good, sturdy, full-flavored Sake. Sake that has its own axis. No need to say anything.

富久長 秋櫻 ひやおろし 純米吟醸 Fukucho Cosmos Hiyaoroshi Junmai Ginjo Hi everyone, sorry we were sick with the dreaded C-word so we had to take a break from alcohol for a few weeks. Seems like we still have not recovered our sense of taste,. sadly, this is really affecting our tasting notes so maybe we have to wait a little longer to enjoy Sake’ subtleties. In our current state, the only thing I can taste is Tangy and bitter, it overwhelms sushi. It’s matching better with Brie cheese and minced Katsu.
Chrisbrz
We will try again next week. Have a Happy New Year! Everyone

MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Rice polishing ratio 55% Seimaibuai Alcohol 15% Alcohol Bright and lively flavor maybe a bit like green apples. Some bitterness but also some sweetness and umami. My wife says It starts with a mellow aroma, then there is a slight tangerine taste, and after that there is a very wrinkled sensation in the mouth, which gives the impression that this sake is alive!

玉川 純米吟醸 福袋 無濾過生原酒 Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Fukubukuro Muroka Namagenshu Wow a beautiful Junmai, rich and flavorful Sake. When the initial sweetness fades The aftertaste lingers a bit with a smooth mild bitterness. Let this warm up to 20°C for its character to come out. It holds up against today’s challengers: 蒲焼鰻 kabayaki unagi and きゅうり梅しそ鰹節 Ume Shiso Katsuobushi cucumber slices. Make sure you have some Sansho with your unagi
