The second bottle was selected while looking at the owner's handwritten sake guide🤗The only sake brewery on the west coast of Aomori Prefecture, or so we were told!
It has a soft aroma reminiscent of bananas and apples, with a rich rice flavor and umami. It is quite mellow, but has a high acidity level and a nice crisp aftertaste 😚.
Serve with Hoya no Shiokara (salted sea squirt)

When opened, there is a fine gas feeling. It has a soft koji aroma, a sweet umami taste of rice like coarse rice, and a slightly acidic aftertaste that spreads to a calm taste 😌.
I didn't find the fresh lychee as described on the label, but as I got used to it, I found it to be a flavorful and delicious sake that reminded me of ripe apples and melons 😚.
I put a cutout of the Yatagarasu label on my helmet🤭.

As the label says, it has a tropical fruit-like aroma, with a rich, sweet and acidic flavor. In addition, the sweet malted rice aroma, a hint of whey flavor, and a light bitterness combine to give it a green plum nuance.

It seems that nine breweries in Gifu Prefecture have voluntarily gathered under the name of "Gifu Sake Project" and are working on the theme of water, sake and food in Gifu Prefecture.
According to the taste chart on the back of the label, it seems to be located in the [ rich yet aromatic ] category.
The aroma is slightly apple-like, somewhere between modern and classic, and has a calm, sweet, umami taste with a slightly dry aftertaste. It has a slightly astringent taste. The aroma is not too strong, and I like the way it accompanies food 😚.

Sunday we came back home from the raging ‼️ and we were glad that tomorrow was our day off 😅, so we chose this as our second bottle of Ehime sake for the party 🤗.
I had seen Kotori-san drink it before and I was wondering if this would be the next Ehime sake 🤔, but Jay got it at Yoshikawa Sake Shop in Utsunomiya, which was his first visit👍.
It's a bottle blended from the [Arabashiri] and [Yakusame] portions squeezed in the spring. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'll make love to you!
I don't really notice the aroma.
I don't think I'll be able to taste the aroma, but when I take a sip, it has a very unique taste 😌.
It's refreshing but also complex, and when drunk alone it has a peculiar taste...but when I paired it with horse sashimi, which was my entrée for the day, I was like 😳we were together in a previous life💥.
When I mixed in some ori and drank it, I could taste the sweetness and it became easier to drink 😙It's 17 degrees, but it's still very easy to drink! But it turned into another sake on the way.
And here's my daughter's BF story😊.
The day after our first meeting at the izakaya, he visited his father's apartment in Ichikawa where we were also staying!
His father, who has been on a roll lately, greeted him in English and said, "Hey, you speak good English! He was laughing so hard that we all laughed and he understood 🤣.

It has been a long time since I visited a small sake store in a shopping street. I was greeted by a poster 🤗It is a sake from a brewery in Ibaraki, not far from Tochigi.
It was made in March 🙄 It was probably a spring sake ⁈It had a subtle apple-like ginjo aroma, a calm taste as if it had been laid down at a low temperature for a while, a little apricot? It has a sweetness like cotton candy and umami. It has a light, crisp taste with a moderate acidity derived from the nama-moto (sake brewing process). The bitterness in the aftertaste reminded me of pickled plum seeds in plum wine or plum syrup with soda. Easy to drink at 14 degrees al.

I'm so happy to hear that 🜂! This is delicious 😚 This sweetness is not too much and Nobby also enjoyed drinking it!
I thought that a glass of this outside would certainly have a strong impact on people in the Kansai region 😊.

Tottori Sake🤗
Junmai Daiginjo (no sake rice listed) sake was stored in sherry casks for about a month.
The aroma of maturity with acidity and koji aroma is gently wafting through the air. It has a fruity and sweet aroma reminiscent of raisins and plums, and a slightly tangy and oily aroma of dried fruits. It also has a slightly oily flavor with a hint of dried fruit. It has a sense of wooden barrels, astringency, and a lingering taste of mild acidity... It is easy to drink at al 14 degrees Celsius.
The next day it was mellower and more flavorful. It was nice to have a fresh taste of something different once in a while.
Kottori from my favorite beef bone ramen shop. It was gutsy and thick like a corned beef and 🧄 potage!
Japanese>English
ことり
90% of the brewing volume is consumed in Tochigi prefecture. This time, we chose Soyojo's "Namahashiroshi" series.
On the first day, the first aroma was a light ripe aroma with a flavor reminiscent of dried apricot, and the moment it hit the palate, it had a strong sourness. This is the kind of sourness that is typical for a sake made from a sake yeast yeast (⁉️). It makes my teeth feel scratchy like after eating a lemon...
The second day, I think it's a mid-palate. Gradually it becomes soft sweetness. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. The quality of the sake is light even in its original state. Even though it is a low-polished sake, it does not have a graininess or a cloying taste, and it is a light sake with an Alc. of 17, so it is a food sake that goes well with food.
On the third day, oh? The sweet and sour flavors have come together...or maybe I'm getting used to the flavors? The lactic acidity and creamy richness also started to show up. The last cup was my favorite.
The dumplings are so big you could break your chopsticks🤣I'm full!

Kawabu Brewery is well known for its "Hokosugi" brand.
The brewery plans to launch the high-class brand "Shiki" in 2021, and in 2022, "KAWABU" will be born, bearing the brewery's name.
The elegant aroma with gorgeous fruitiness is mellow and sweet, with hints of white peach, lychee, and grape. The lees of the ogara-mushi (strained lees) are small, but there is the tangy stimulation of the raw sake. The taste eventually changes to sweet and sour like apples. It is so delicious that it is hard to believe it is sake.
