This is a local brew from Fukushima that I got as a gift from a friend.......it's hard to find in the Kanto region unless you go to Tochigi.... This is a good choice for a midday meal.

Chikoma newly handled at our favorite liquor store. Chikoma is a sake brewery located in Shirakawa, Fukushima Prefecture. It is a light nigori, which is rare for summer sake. There is almost no scent of noboritaka. The mouthfeel is moist and sweet with a hint of sourness. The aftertaste, which has a slight sake-like aftertaste, is quickly capped off by a mild acidity and bitterness. There is no sharp taste, and the overall impression is round and gentle. However, the ......... stopper is ...... loose! When opening the mouth, I took off the stopper and the stopper popped! It's a good thing that the cork fell out when I removed the stopper when opening the bottle. The problem starts here. When I shook the bottle up and down the next time I drank it, the movement of the liquor inside opened the stopper. Thanks to this, the carpet was soaked with liquor. It's not good that the stopper opens almost without resistance. So I replaced the stopper with an appropriate one. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

😊. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Alcohol Content:16%. I managed to get over the train when I was with Yuka-chan, but I did it on the way home from drinking with the second daughter (I am the eldest) of the Otsubonez (three bureau sisters) in my department. I lost my memory at the next station where we sat down, saying "I might fall asleep if I get to sit down. Why didn't I wake up 5 minutes before? The train in the opposite direction was the last of the day and I had to wait 20 minutes. I managed to only sleep on the platform. Then I had a blast sleeping in the cab as well... Now, to get back on track, here is the evening drink of the day. The aroma was sweet, but when I drank it, the sweetness was not as strong as the aroma, and there was a good balance of sweetness, sourness, and finally bitterness. It went very well with a little bit of shibi-shibi (bean-curd soup with red pepper paste).

Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2024 Gold Course Almost no aroma. The main flavor is the gentle sweetness of Kinmon-nishiki, but there is also a sharpness from the spiciness. It is neither modern nor classic, but rather well-balanced with no cloying flavors, making it ideal as a mid-meal sake.

This is the second mini-bottle of Ishikawa sake. It is easy to drink at 9% alcohol by volume. It may not be enough for sake lovers.

I went to Wajima by chance. This is the first sake I drank there. As the label says, it is light, more like a classic sake, with a low alcohol content of 9%, which makes it easy to drink. It has both umami and acidity. While many stores in downtown Wajima have yet to reopen for business, we purchased this sake at Freshland Maruko, one of the few supermarkets that remained open until relatively easy to use hours. It has been almost five months since the disaster, and there are still many collapsed houses blocking the roads, but the media coverage of the disaster is decreasing, and the local people are worried that the disaster will be forgotten. As in the case of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we ask for everyone's continued support. We should not forget about Tohoku, though.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.
Sweet aroma, fluffy aftertaste.

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

Special Junmai🍶Nanbu Kame no O🌾. Otona no Himitsu Club, Aomori Complete Trip Journey🚃Day 1 It is rich, umami, spicy and acidic, and looks good when heated. It is a little harsh on its own. It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

Sake bought at a souvenir shop at Shinjo station when traveling in Yamagata Prefecture about a year ago. Drink before you forget It was fairly priced, but I can't help it if it's a 35% polished rice daiginjo. Mild aroma A sense of maturity like brown sugar Silky smoothness, just like the brand name Beautiful even if left at room temperature for a year Drink it while remembering the conversation with the lady at the souvenir shop and suppressing the desire to go on a trip again.

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

I shared my partner's order at Tsuji Shuhan's sake tasting space in Yamanaka Onsen. It's dry and refreshing. It seems to go well with any kind of food. Personally, I preferred the Tedorigawa that I chose.

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

Sweetness
Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

I've found the best summer sake in the cosmopolitan world. It's low in alcohol, so it's easy to drink, melon top, good aftertaste, perfect freshness, and no miscellaneous taste. It is truly a summer sake.
