"Genbei San no oni koroshi" Tasted chilled. Mild flavor and light texture. A bit of mushroom and forest floor, umami, dark plum. Soft finish. Really a mild drink with a deep quality that I kind of enjoy.

It has been a long time since I have had this famous Fukui sake. It has a modest ginjo aroma, mild fruitiness and acidity, followed by the umami of Gohyakumangoku that gradually expands, and a refreshing taste that goes down the throat. One sip convinced me that this is the sake that has been loved for many years. I would like to visit Eiheiji.

A robust type of sake! This is a limited edition autumn sake from Masuarao. It has a calm aroma of Yamahai at the beginning of ripening, and a powerful acidity and umami spread on the palate. You can feel the charm of Yamahai as you drink more and more of this sake. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, rice polishing ratio 65%, yeast is cultured in the brewery. We had it well chilled ✨✨. The aroma, acidity, and bitterness that is typical of Yamahai are the first things that hit you with a thump! There is also a slight numbing sensation on the tongue. This is a good sake with strong acidity and rice flavor 😆. Wooooooo 🤣🤣 I like Yamahai more and more every time I drink it. It is a sake that I want to spend long autumn nights with👍. I paired it with pickled yam with wasabi!

This is a standard best-seller from Kuroryu, one of the leading ginjo breweries in Hokuriku. It is one of the few pure rice varieties from Kuroryu, but its distinctive transparency is well expressed, and its slightly restrained aroma and subtle acidity complement meals. It can be served cold, but if you warm it up a little, you can enjoy its full-bodied rice flavor and lingering aftertaste. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku produced in Fukui Prefecture, rice polishing ratio 55%, and yeast preserved in the brewery. Served well chilled ✨ The ginjo aroma has a light fragrance, not very aromatic but apple-like 🍏. The mouthfeel is a bit sweet and the rice flavor spreads! The end result is a well-balanced sake with moderate acidity👍. It is light and easy to drink, so it is a sake that goes down smoothly 🤣. I paired it with pickled eggplant and potato salad. It is novel to put takoyaki in potato salad 😆.

Photo right. Sake made from Yamagata rice, brewed in Akita. This sake is also made with yeast No. 6. It has a sourness that only No. 6 yeast can give, yet it is mild and addictive to drink. I had another one 🤭.

One of the best tastes of Takachiyo😍. It has a fizzy feeling like a Ramune! It's not too sweet and I was guzzling it down and before I knew it, it was gone!

With the heat wave still continuing, I wanted to feel autumn, so I went to a restaurant and ordered this year's first chilled sake, "chilled oroshi. I ordered it on my first date with my husband 100 years ago, and he made fun of me saying, "You can read Tobi! It has been a special brand in our house since then 😅. It has a soft ginjo aroma, a gentle and fluffy rice flavor that spreads in the mouth, a gorgeous and beautiful sharpness, and a stable taste. We enjoyed it with bonito tataki. 🙇‍♀️
