COWBOY

Shiokawa Shuzo Niigata

Caramelized Miso Smoky Soy Source

Almost colorless and transparent. Sweet aroma reminiscent of custard cream. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is mild. Nutty aroma. The mouthfeel is rich with a firm acidity and astringency. Slightly long aftertaste. A mellow sake.

Japanese>English

First Cowboy Yamahai An American-inspired sake that goes well with steak 🥩. It has a strong acidity. It became softly sweet when served hot. Today is animal day, it's cold, and it's in Nonbei Yokocho ❣️ Oh, there is no steak 🥩, so we had the standard Pork and Chinese cabbage nabe 🍲, Japanese people are all about nabe 😅. 593 drinking at home

Japanese>English

Very robust. Funk and umami.

Kamisugi

神杉酒造 Aichi

Fragrant Miso

After the initial sweetness of the rice, the bitterness and tangy strength of the alcohol give it a strong character, and I thought it was a sake for a slightly selective drinker.

Japanese>English

It was warmed to lukewarm because it was awarded the gold medal for warmed sake. Hmmm! It's a taste that you may or may not like. It has a peculiar taste😅. This is also an experience 😊. I want to know the taste of various alcohols and find my own special one: ✨️

Japanese>English

With Tenzuma in the morning. It's a very good drink. I think Kamisugi is the best sake.

Kamekichi

Nakamurakamekichi Aomori

Miso Plump Dry Nectar

First dry sake we had at Aomori Night. It is quite good.

Japanese>English

Kamekichi-san, the owner's first choice. No, I didn't know this, but it is delicious! Perfect with sushi😍.

Japanese>English

Aomori souvenir from my wife's mother. It seems that she scrambled to find Tasake. But it seems that all of them were wiped out. Thank you very much. Of course, it was the first time for me to try this brand, and with all due respect, I had never heard of it. I opened the bottle with anticipation and apprehension. The aroma of ginjo is faint. In the mouth, there is a slight sweetness with acidity and bitterness. There is almost no aftertaste and the taste is refreshing. It is a food sake type of sake. I had imagined it to be a classic dry sake, It has an unexpected taste.

なかなか！

I drank so long ago I don't remember 🥲. Just a record

Japanese>English

At first sip, I thought the sweetness of the rice was strong, but the sweetness was quickly followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, which was a bit dry and a bit peculiar, but I thought it was a delicious sake that was easy to drink.

Torai

Rokka Shuzo Aomori

Apple Yogurt Miso Tropical

No label? I was wondering... A slight rabbit 🐰 that can be seen through Pitchy, slightly effervescent, yogurt, apple, I'm not much of a sake drinker, so my vocabulary is poor, Everyone loves modern naturals with a solid body. Not surprisingly, two bottles of ice cold sake followed (^_^; ).

Japanese>English

Sweetness ahead, no acidity

Japanese>English

For your memorandum Rokka Shuzo Torai Junmai-shu Wild Rabbit with cold sake. While sorting through my photo data, I found an unposted sake, so I posted it here. It was served at "Norakura" Izakaya in Aomori Station. A good sake that brings out the flavor of the food. It went well with seafood.

Amanosake

Miso Umami Caramelly Sweetness Rich Grainy Spicy Acidity

If we work hard for one more day, GW٩٩_٩_GW

Japanese>English

Kawachinagano City, Osaka Prefecture, on the occasion of sightseeing This sake is named after "Amano-shu" which was famous as a monk's cellar sake in medieval Japan. The one we purchased is said to be sold only at a sake brewery. It is refreshingly dry, and I enjoyed it as an in-between-dinner drink. Amano is the name of a place in the western part of Kawachinagano City, and Kongoji Temple, where the monk's house sake was made, is still located there today. I went there as a tourist and was surprised to see sake being sold at the shrine office. I was also impressed to see a Bizen ware pot used for sake brewing in the monk's quarters, which is the same as the one in the photo inserted in Mr. Kinichiro Sakaguchi's book "Sake in Japan".

Japanese>English

I drank some local sake when I was traveling, but I didn't think it tasted very good.

Miso Fresh Warm Sake Dry Fizzy Herbal Flashy

3.3 Acidity Slightly chemical

Japanese>English

A gift. It has a herb-like aroma and a delicious mouthfeel. It doesn't interfere with food, so I recommend it more as a food sake than on its own: ☝️ I don't buy a bottle unless I really like it, so it took me quite a while to finish it 😆.

Memorandum: A Look Back at the Past Sake rice: Hwasoi Rice polishing ratio 40

It had a gorgeous aroma when it was opened and a gusto of umami. It was rich and dry. It looks delicious even if you let it sit for a few days.

Japanese>English

Sake from a small brewery that can only be drunk locally (Shirakami) Shirakami Yamahai Junmai Shu: 65% pure rice sake at full strength 　The nature of the Shirakami mountain range is expressed in this sake. It is a rich, full-bodied sake unique to Yamahai. It is a junmai sake that has a gentle taste on the palate, yet is refreshing. It is best served lukewarm. Rice used: Mashigura (produced in the company's own rice fields) Rice polishing ratio 65 Sake degree +3.0 Acidity 1.6 Alcohol 15.3" (from Rakuten website) Shirakami Shuzo's sake is delicious and blows me away. Shirakami Shuzo is good! The cider at the nearby Shirakami Winery is also good! If you stop by Roadside Station Tsugaru Shirakami Beach Nijimeya, be sure to stop by!
