Simple Drunken Whale
It has a fresh melon-like melon aroma with a gorgeous 🍈 sweetness!
I was very drunk at the first restaurant that day, but it was nice to chat with the owner at the second restaurant here!

Oroku出雲麹屋 にごり

The bubbly sensation is rampant!
The flavor is milky with some amazake-like nuances. Delicious.
O-roku, I've had it before, but I didn't know it was a Shimane sake until I saw the word Izumo: ✏️

Tsuchida生もと 純米吟醸

Sweetness!
It's not as thick and sweet as beeswax like Shin Tsuchida, but it certainly has a "Tsuchida" breath to it. I love it!

The limited edition Sentori is sold exclusively at Torichataro in Shibuya!
I had an image of Sentori being a bit spicy, but it was very easy to drink with a fresh sweetness with a hint of pear.
I guess modern Sentori is too popular these days, so they write "Classic Sentori" on the bottle........

Yoshidagura u貴醸酒 REMIX 2024
K
Last night we went to our second usual restaurant 🏮.
I chose a sake called "Kijoshu"!
Sweetness overflowing! It was fizzy and refreshing 🫧.
The taste was reminiscent of white grape juice!
For snacks, we had our usual oden 🍢.
By the way, the other day was the sake test 😳.
For those of you who took the test, how was your response?
I took the 3rd level, and I'm relieved to say that I managed to exceed the border in my self-scoring... 🪽.
I'm hoping to make it to Level 2 this year, and hopefully Level 1!

山和星純米大吟醸 2025 おりがらみ生
K
Here's a little rare sake too ★★★★☆
It has a strong umami taste, but it is relatively sharp rather than full-bodied.
The sweetness is not too strong and well balanced.
I would prefer something a little more flashy, but this is probably the best for a gentle 🍢.

Good evening, Mr. K. 😄 I happen to be drinking the same sake 😅 This label is hard to photograph---the light is just too bright...

Good morning ☀It was indeed hard to photograph, it's difficult to label matte textures 💦.
Thanks for your comment 😊.

Quite a rare drink: ★★★★★
The aroma reminds me of bananas 🍌.
It was a very unique taste in this strain 🥶.

Shosetsu純米大吟醸 山田穂
K
It's a hazy memory, but I think it was a very voluptuous and tasty sake 🤤.
I checked and this one is also a limited edition sake...
I wonder if this restaurant has a parade of rare sake...
I would like to visit there someday as well 🍢.

Sharaku純米吟醸 剣愛山
K
I like Collage's packet the best...
I've been looking for a new bottle of Collage, but this orange label Collage is a rare one, original to a long-established distributor in Tokyo: ★★★★★
It had a refreshing fruity taste!
I would like to drink it again 🍒 because my memory is a little fuzzy.

This is another sake that you don't see very often!
It has a wonderful harmony of acidity and umami.
It is a good food sake.
I found out that it is a modern Yamahai sake.
There are various types of Yamahai sake. ✏️
The oden is really good here, and I think I'll be frequenting the restaurant.
There was good music playing from the 100 year old big speakers in the restaurant, and I got to know the artist Ichiko Aoba.

Shichihon'yari純米 玉栄 搾りたて生原酒
K
Shichibonjari always tastes good...
It is dry but has a fresh, youthful flavor, and if you didn't know it was a dry brand, you might think it was sweet and drink it.
This year I'm going to drink as much Shiboritate Nama sake as I can 🧘.
Japanese>English
K
It has a well-balanced taste and is easy to pair with meals!
I looked it up and found out that it was created to be the ultimate food wine.
I'd love to drink it again based on that 🛸.

Here's another pretty rare drink: ★★★★★
Clear and fresh taste with no hint of alcohol!
I vaguely remember it tasting both dry and sweet, which I liked.
If I'm not mistaken, I think "glacial bamboo shoots" refers to the icicles that form in caves and such, but it's too cool that they're brewing it with that.
I'm already a sucker for seared cod roe.

Gorgeous, loud but complex aroma💐.
I was told that this is one of the hardest bottles to find!
I want to taste it again...

A clean, effervescent wine with a slightly dry taste! It is a little dry. The cloudy color may make you think of sweet sake, but it is surprisingly dry.
