Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 70%, ALC 18%.
Aoki Shuzo Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
This sake was also served on the rocks in a glass glass with ice on top 🤗.
Although diluted with ice, it has sourness and bitterness.
Quite a few unique summer sakes are being encountered for the first time tonight 😅.
For the closing sake, I chose Eikawa (Eisen: Junmai Ginjyo Nama-Shu), which I have encountered on 2022/9/16 [aluminum canned sake frozen at -17°C (-17°F)]. Since it was the first time for all the members except me to use Kurumaya, I introduced it as a unique sake....
We finished with a dish of salmon and salmon roe in oyako-chazuke (rice with salmon roe and salmon eggs).
Thank you very much for a very satisfying get-together.

Junmai Daiginjyo, fresh, raw sake made from Gohyakumangoku
Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 13% (original sake)
This is another low-alcohol junmai daiginjo-shu suitable for summer.
As the label says, it is a summer sake that is light and refreshing 😋.
Kurumaya is indeed a great place to have such a wide selection of summer sake... and we were all very excited to be able to drink it 🥳.
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんSpecial Junmai-shu Wooden Oke Brewing Nama-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Sasanishiki
Polishing ratio 55%, ALC 15
The slight apple-like aroma and the scent of wooden vat is a preconceived notion because it says "wooden vat" 😅.
A little sourness and a refreshing taste 😍.
Kurumaya seems to have a good selection of summer sake 🥰.
Come to think of it, there are many different brands of rice in the rice section these days, but I don't think I've seen any [Sasanishiki] 💦.
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんTOSHO
Junmai Ginjo-shu, once fired ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 55%, ALC 16%.
This is a new brand of Sagara Shuzo, which brews Asahi Ei...but unfortunately I haven't met Asahi Ei 😅.
It is said to have a soft and soothing taste like "spring sunshine" 🤗.
Slightly dry and mild 😋.
The subtle aroma in the mouth is like a spring sunshine 🥰....
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんJunmai Ginjo Genshu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 14%.
This is a brand of sake that was introduced on TV the other day. I was thinking that I would like to try it... and then I found it 🥰.
It has 14% alcohol content, so I guess it's a summer sake😅.
I thought it was not too sweet, smooth and not too tiring to drink 😋....
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんJunmai Ginjo-shu Summer Sake Arashibi Mixing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shirokuma Junmai Gin Summer Sake 100% Miyamanishiki
Yeast: Association 1801, Polishing ratio 55
ALC 15%, Sake degree +2.5 to +3.5
This sake is a blend of the rough runners and the blame (seme) parts 🧐.
The store staff explained, "This sake is served on the rocks with ice on top. We decided to enjoy it the way the sake taster suggested 🤩.
It has a subtle fruity aroma and a clean, crisp taste 😋.
There is a little bit of ori, but not as much as nigori 😄.
By the way, the polar bear picture is cool and nice 🥳🥰.
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんJunmai Ginjo-shu KITASHIZUKU⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Kitashizuku, Polishing ratio 50%.
ALC 16 degrees
It's a rather dry sake with a good body, but it tastes a bit peculiar 😅.
It's delicious, but it has a peculiar taste 😅.
Hiratsuka Kurumaya: 20230623 ましらのやまさんSNOW CRESCENT Unfiltered Nama Sake
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% Yuyamanishiki, Polishing ratio: undisclosed, ALC 14
This is the sixth get-together this month, which is inevitable since I plan to retire at the end of June, but I'm careful not to drink too much and hope to meet new brands and types of sake 💦.
Tonight's Kurumaya's recommended local sake menu is a parade of sake brands that I am encountering for the first time🥰.
First of all, I ordered the "bonito straw grill", which is not too much to say that I chose the restaurant for this dish... and for a different sashimi platter, I ordered the five-piece sashimi platter that I left to the restaurant. (Tuna red meat, medium fatty tuna, seared chicken grunt, seared barracuda, octopus...or was it (^◇^;)💦)
It was an easy-drinking, slightly sweet sake with a sukkiri taste and the unique schwashiness of nama sake. Light nigori (light nigori)... 😋.
There are various label types and sub-brands of Koei Kiku....

The freshness of orange. りょBrilliant ginjo aroma from the nose. Easy to understand, beautiful ginjo, good for a beginner like myself. りょAromatic at first. It finishes quickly. Seems to go well with the strong aroma. りょSoft. Not so sweet and refreshing, a nice greenness like a watermelon.
The end of a summer vacation that is running out.
