I looked up when was the last time I had a drink and it was 2 years ago...it's been a long time but it wasn't as long ago as I took it...I thought it was 3 years ago...lol I've been drinking it for a while, but this summer will be my first time to try the Gin Nigori. The first time I went to the beach, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the city, and I was in the middle of the night. The aroma is a strong, alcohol-driven strain. The aroma is very strong. It is similar to the Yamagata Masamune that I had before this one. It is delicious with a strong umami flavor! Compared to Yamagata Masamune, this one is more rough, powerful, or guttural. It is on the edge of being harsh depending on the conditions. It is recommended to drink it in a well chilled state with a sake cup that makes it difficult to detect the aroma. As a meal, it goes well with well-seasoned grilled fish and, as in summer, grilled meat. For a sake that is supposed to be drunk with strong flavors during meals, it is a little difficult for people like me who want to drink it by itself, so I have to be the one to match it.

Yoshida Kurau Ishikawamon is made from local sake rice. A bottle of sake made from local rice and brewed with a noble brewing process will be served on the tray. The alcohol content is low at 11 degrees and there is a slight effervescence. As described, it is fresh, soft, sweet and acidic, and easy to drink 🍶. It is an easy-drinking sake 🍶! I hope the smiling and mild-mannered Chairman Yoshida is well.

Here is the first sake of the second half of 2025! They are releasing a different tank of Yamagata Masamune Natsuno-Junmai, which impressed me last year, and I would like to have the tank #1 one that I bought before. However, the package is not clearly marked, so if you are not careful, you will not know which is which lol! It seems to use yeast #14 which produces a lot of isoamyl acetate. I see...no wonder I like it so much! The aroma is banana-like both on the nose and in the nose. The banana-like aroma is not gorgeous, as it is backed up by the alcohol-like aroma, but the delicious vinegar is not harsh, moist, and smooth, making it easy to drink. The sweetness is so pleasant that you can drink it by itself when it is cold. However, as the temperature rises, the spiciness comes out and the flavor becomes stronger, making it a perfect food sake. It is a slightly mellow, modern dry sake. Personally, I prefer it cold, but if you like it strong, you may prefer it when it is warmed up. In general, it was right in the middle of my favorite and very tasty. I am very impressed.

Sono Kangiku Discovery Series Sake rice produced in Chiba Prefecture: So-no-Mai The bottle almost flew open when opened! It's a cloudy, fruity bottle with just the right amount of "pizzazz" and "sizzle". It is cloudy and fruity! It's nice to have a fresh sake in August already!

☀️ The picture is blurry and hard to see.... White liquor with white letters on a clear bottle is hard to photograph😇 I'll write the story on the back 👇.  In the hand is a sake cup instead of a sword,  In your back, a white sake instead of an arrow.  The white wine in place of a sword in his hand and an arrow in his back...  The knight on the white horse, bravely pushing forward.  The long adventure to save the princess has begun. The adventure of the knight of the white horse started to save Princess Niggoli. Is he pushing the sake cup to the monster 🤔? In the age of 2025, it looks like a simple al-harassment 😓. Is this what you want, knight of the white horse 😅? Sake. It is nigori, but not a crackling nigori🤍, the degree of nigori is low. It has a roundness on the palate with a hint of rice 😙. The acidity becomes more pronounced in the mid-palate, and it tastes like apple🍎. Although it is nigori, it also has a fruity taste, making it a sake that can be enjoyed twice at once 😄. Good boys and girls, be careful not to get alhara 🤗.

☀️ This is Banshu Aizan ❤️ which has been well received by everyone in Sakewa. Every time I see it posted, I have been thinking "I must drink this...I must drink this...". So when I saw it, I immediately bought it 🤩. Now it's time to open the bottle🍶. Moist, deep sweetness and umami 😚. It's a Sharaku taste but less sweet and unrefined and lighter than Yamadanishiki 🤔. There is a tingling in the mouth at the end of drinking ⚡️ but there is no gassy feeling. It was a bottle that left me with a strange sensation of zawazawashi 🍾🤗. As expected of Sharaku, as expected of Aizan❤️

☀️ I don't know if you can call it a brand name of Amabuki, it seems to be the name of the brewery from the description 🤔. Well, I opened the bottle thinking that the details are not important 🤗. First of all, it has a citrusy feeling. This is orange 🍊🤔. But it's not too sweet, maybe not orange 🍊 like 🙄. It's hard to describe😅. The bitterness appears at the end, but the lasting impression is a refreshing finish 😙. I thought it might be dry, but the citrusy atmosphere diminishes the dryness and I'm not sure if I can call it "dry" 🙄.

I've almost never had a standard local sake from Niigata. This is my first time to drink it properly. Is it still light and dry? When I poured it into a tin cup with little aroma, I was surprised to find a gorgeous aroma. I was surprised that it has an aroma, but since it is a capsule type and the aroma is quite strong, my brain is confused at this point. I thought it was yeast No. 18. Then, when I sipped it, I was even more confused by its strong flavor! If you think about it, it is 17.5 degrees Celsius, so it is not just a gorgeous aroma as the specs say. It is full-bodied and quite mellow. I checked it out and it recommends drinking it on the rocks or in the freezer, chilled to the point where it doesn't freeze. It is indeed delicious at this level! Right after opening it, it is as good as premium sake. It is interesting how it becomes a completely different sake after that. I might want to drink it if it were directly pumped... After the change, it became an interesting sake with a rich dry taste. Personally, I think it is good to drink it with added water. On the third day, it becomes gorgeous again...all the flavors are delicious! I was very impressed with this bottle, coupled with the easy-to-understand instructions on how to drink it!

Packed sake, we are steadily drinking it 🩷. Since there was some Yanma Oumachi left over from the other day, we thought it would be a good idea to do a Oumachi drinking comparison as well 😍. The Kakufuda Sake has a sweet and delicious taste like a Daiginjo, with a low alcohol content but also a strong alcohol taste. Yanma Oumachi has almost no sweetness, so the complex bitterness is noticeable when compared. Both have a difference in sweetness, but the umami bitterness is characteristic of both! I guess this is Oumachi 😋 They are both delicious ‼️ I got a lot of salmon roe from my parents' house, so today's menu consisted of salmon roe and salmon oyako (salmon roe and salmon roe) 🩷Home-made shao mai and soy milk tofu, which I recently got into. I was not so sure if Omachi and salmon roe go well together 🧐, but the rice with plenty of salmon roe on it was so delicious that I was happy 🥰There are many more dishes that make the best use of Omachi's characteristics. ‼️

Good evening, Mr. Pekho😄! I'm comparing the Omachi with the Yamama from the packaged sake 🤩I'm impressed with the bitterness 😆Omachi has a rich sweet image to me 🥰I guess the salmon roe is too good not to go with the salmon roe oyakodon 😍I wish I could eat it 🤤.

☀️ It was tagged "one per person" 👀. I decided this must be a good sairai 🙄 and bought it 😆. Well, open the bottle 🍶. Clear sweetness and clear acidity 😚. The acidity suppresses the fullness that the sweetness diffuses. The cleanliness disappears as quickly and quietly as water sinking into sand. 😶‍🌫️ The stylish cut taste produced by the sourness felt in the back of the throat is the quintessence of Sairai 🤗. As the temperature range rises, the sweetness seems to mellow and the sourness becomes moderate. It's like a light nectar and peach juice 🤗. If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to adjust the temperature to room temperature 😄.

☀️ They say you can't go wrong with hiragana "takachiyo," and this one was a jackpot🎯. Takachiyo "Would you like to become a fan? Mania: "No, I'm a Mimuro mania..." Takachan "Won't you become a fan 🩷?" Masamune "No, I'm a Masamune hunter..." ...I almost became a Takachiyo fan 😆. I can't chase my guess any more 🤣. So here's the sake 🍶. First of all, the sweetness is modest and reserved 😊. The acidity hiding behind it tightens the taste ☺️ Thanks to the acidity that tightens up the taste, you can smell the rich sweet aroma. The freshness as it flows down your throat gives the impression of freshness at the end. It is the one that makes you want to go for the next sip right away 😚. From the second day, the taste became sweeter and more rounded, but the basic concept remained the same. For Takachiyo fans, Even for those who are not fans of Takachiyo, I recommend it 💪 to both Takachiyo fans and non-Takachiyo fans. I would like to recommend it to Takachiyo fans and non-Takachiyo fans alike 🤗.

Yamagata Masamune横山よこおし 袋吊り 直汲 純米吟醸 雄町純米吟醸おりがらみ
alt 1alt 2
flos_lingua_est
I have been hooked on Yamagata Masamune since last year. I am aware that the brewery brews sake that has a good balance between classical and modern flavors, and also has a quality and robustness to it when the aroma is gorgeous. The aroma of the same sake changes depending on how it is pressed, and of the two methods, "tateoshi" (wooden tank or tub pressing) and "yokoshoshi" (automatic pressing machine like a yabuta), the latter is shown here. Is it a vinegar-iso type with a hint of banana or melon and magic ink? When you drink it, it is like a rumney...well-balanced! You would think that a balanced sake would generally be a dry sake, but it is more of a umami type sake. But it also has a gorgeous flavor with its umami acidity, aroma, and gasiness, and while you might think it has a strong sweetness, everything is in moderation, so it is not excessive. That is why it has a good balance! It is interesting that the aroma gradually changes to juicy and fruity rather than the impression you get immediately after drinking it. This is a model of a delicious sake that I feel anyone would like. There is no need to be particular about what you eat, it goes with everything. Sorry for the mess, but even though it was May, I tried it with kimchi nabe, and it went perfectly with it! Even if you include Jyushiyo, it is my favorite brand of Yamagata sake.
