Home drinking.
The brewer of the Izumihashi Sake Brewery came to sell his products.
He said ❗️ that the rice fields where summer yago grows can produce good sake rice. As one would expect from a brewery that owns its own rice fields, he is very knowledgeable 😳.
After hearing all about it, I decided to buy at least a 300ml bottle.
The color is nigori. There are some rice grains in it.
The aroma is slightly alcoholic.
The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated. A distinct crackling sensation 🫧✨.
Taste is almost no sweetness, with ample rice 🌾 flavor.
Bitter aftertaste enhances the umami. ⤴️
The sake is straight at the rice and you can enjoy the umami of the rice🍶.
Drinking outside.
A light drink on the go 😄
100% Yamadanishiki from Yoshikawa, Hyogo Prefecture, Special A district
The color is clear and transparent.
The aroma is sweet and sour. The image is like an apricot.
The color is white like grapefruit juice, but no rice grains are visible.
The mouthfeel is moist and soft, and the taste is gently sweet. It was not as sweet as expected.
The aftertaste is sour and slightly bitter.
The overall harmony of the sake is wonderful, with a variety of flavors 🍶.
A dense, sweet style typical of Mimuro cedar. It has a strong sweet flavor without the harshness of alcohol, and the alcohol content is rather low at 15 degrees. It is a recognition that some sake can be this good even if it is not a pure sake.
I came to Tokyo Station in a tipsy mood to do some evening shopping and pick up my family, but they were still in the middle of shopping and seemed to be waiting for me, so I went here to have a tenkagashi (a Japanese sake made of frog).
Shinsei PrivateLAB Tenagaru 2022
We haven't been able to find Tenkaeru this year, so it's nice to be able to get it at a kaku-uchi (corner bar)!
I would have liked to see a big storm when the bottle was opened, but the bottle was already opened (T_T).
The latest Amanagashi has a clear taste and there is a little bit of oriole in the glass, but it has a dry feel due to the foaming and is easy to drink in a heat wave like today!

Slightly caramelized aroma, the power of the liquid can be felt in the mouth. The lingering taste lingers pleasantly on both sides of the tongue. The rich acidic flavor is perfect as a food sake.

It has a fresh, fruity, green-apple-like aroma on the nose.
It is so pleasant that you want to keep smelling it.
It has a fresh taste with a refreshing throat that is typical of nama-shu and a firm flavor unique to Omachi rice, and you will never get tired of drinking it.
It was brewed while listening to Beethoven's piano sonata during fermentation. It gives the impression of being powerful, but with a balance of full flavor and gentle acidity, I thought it was a bottle that I would never get tired of. I would like to drink it again😊.
It is dry and strong on the palate, but has a refreshing aftertaste. Sake rice is Aiyama or something like that. Slightly cloudy color. Aizan drinking comparison set at Ginza Kimishimaya.
Ganki-no-1 is said to be the first ganki to be introduced to the world.
When you sip it, you will feel the crystal clear brewing water, but later you will be pleasantly surprised by the three-dimensional acidity and lingering umami flavor. You will not get tired of drinking it.
