First, cold, it has a strong habit. It is still easier to drink hot. So I drank it hot. Unique and complex aroma. It has a strong peculiar taste. If you get hooked on it, you may become addicted to this taste. A good food sake. Goes well with fried food. Good balance with fatty food.

Today’s snack

fried pork and negi on skewers

It is a skewer. It looked delicious, so I bought it. It went well with Hanaboe. However, pairing with hanaboe may be difficult.

It was another good day.

Loved the label and bought it. The taste inside is a little carbonated and sweet with a bit of sizzle

Today, too, I am drinking alone.

I hit a sake shop that is considered a sacred place in Tokyo.

I was surprised to see so many people there, as well as a variety of sake.

At a liquor store in Tama City, I picked up a bottle of sake with a stylish label that I had not seen very often.

There is also an east gate. Loved the unique label design. The label on the back is unusually detailed.

The brewing water, the yeast used, and even the toji’s full name.

If you look closely, you can see that the brewing water is from their own well, their own family’s well. I’m curious!

The brewing water is the water used as the base for making sake, and it is also used to wash the rice used to make the sake.

Nishinomon Junmai Daiginjo Araubashiri

It is arabashiri, or first pressing, or freshly squeezed and has a natural shwashy feeling.

This is a seasonal product available only during the winter season.

The bottle name is written in English in a stylish manner!

Ginjo aroma of rice. It has a sweet aroma.

It has a shwishy feel. It is natural gas. This is only found in Arabashiri, and the fermenting gas is being released rapidly. No bitterness. It is easy to drink. Daiginjo of the royal road, with a moderate aroma. A little sweet, suitable for aperitifs. It goes well with salty food. Excellent with chocolate. Not too spicy.

Today’s snack
edamame (green soybeans)

The classic edamame definitely goes well with sake. As always, a stable good match. Edamame is delicious from summer to fall, when it is sweet and tasty.

It comes in a box, but it’s affordable, not expensive.”Kuzuryu Daiginyo”

Today, too, I’m drinking alone in the dust. Today, too, I go to a liquor store to see if I can find some good sake. The weather is nice today, so I’m already in a good spirit after drinking a beer from noon! At a liquor store I visited, there was a strong-looking “龍(dragon)” on the label.

Masato Mizuno, the 7th generation brewer, was deeply interested in wine, which is also a brewed sake, and visited France and Germany.
He visited France and Germany to see if sake could be aged in the same way as wine, and through trial and error, he continued to pursue only high quality sake in small quantities.

Kuzuryu Daiginyo Taste Evaluation 

Taste Evaluation

The first sip is a ginjo aroma, which is very popular nowadays. From there, it transforms into the acidic taste of Showa-era sake. It has a unique flavor that makes you want to put something in your mouth. It is a mellow sake. A food sake. Very interesting taste change. At first it tastes like pear and then it changes. It seems to go well with meat and cheese.

I tried heating it up

I tried heating it up. The taste is remarkably clear. They recommend hot sake for this sake, and they are right. The sweetness is considerably reduced and only moderately aromatic, making it very easy to drink. It is a taste that sake lovers can drink all the time. Delicious. I can understand why it won an award.

Today’s snack

I bought a hamburger thinking it would go surprisingly well with it. We met for drinks this time. If you drink sake and then eat hamburger, the acidity of the sake is neutralized and it becomes even easier to drink!

Another good day.

The famous “Tenbi” is made by a female brewer, a rarity in Japan.

Today, too, I am enjoying sake by myself. Perhaps it is because I have been drinking a lot of major sake recently, but it is getting harder and harder to find sake that I haven’t tried. I simply don’t have enough information about sake. And then there is the sake that I see so often on social networking sites.

The brewery is famous,
The first is that it is headed by a female toji. (Sanyo-Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), a manufacturer of solar power generation systems, bought a local sake brewery that was about to close down and built a brand new brewery from a vacant lot. In short, they started from scratch.

(Sanyo Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), a manufacturer of solar power generation systems and other products, purchased a local sake brewery that was about to close down and announced that it would build a brand new brewery from a vacant lot. The sake has been well received and is off to a good start, quickly running out of stock. The female toji, Miki Fujioka, spearheaded this new entry into the sake market by a company that had absolutely nothing to do with sake. We trace the background of her involvement in the project and the hard work that led to the birth of the new brewery.


Sake Street

Tenbi’s official website was re-established in 2020.

Such history is important to the drinker, though. It’s the taste, the taste.

What is it? Most of the breweries that make direct claims have a design that looks like a family crest.

Amami Tokubetsu Junmai Taste evaluation

Sweet as the aroma. Carbonated and suitable for beginners. It is sweet for the drinker. Easy to drink, especially for those with no miscellaneous tastes. The sweetness of the rice stands out extremely. If it is chilled to a crisp, as if it is treated like white wine, the sweetness will be reduced and it will be just as easy to drink. It seems to go well with light soup stock dishes rather than salty dishes.

Today’s snack

crushed tofu

This time I felt it was not a good match because it is sweeter, and every time I have no prior information, so it is a one-shot deal. However, as I gradually get used to the taste of the sake, it is surprisingly not bad. However, there must be more dishes that go well with it.

It was another good day.

Precious sake obtained at the brewery.

When I visited the Shichiken brewery in Yamanashi Prefecture the other day, I found that I was still susceptible to limited edition sake.

It is a precious sake available only at the brewery. Mukohide I can’t read. How do you read it?

Seven Sages of Takebayashi” series

Seven types of “nama-shu” ranging from junmai-daiginjo to honjozo, named after the “Seven Wise Men of the Takebayashi Forest”.
The new sake is freshly squeezed and bottled without heat treatment, and can only be enjoyed at the brewery.
These are limited-edition nama-zake that can only be tasted at the brewery.

Shichiken Official Website

There is no way to read it, and it appears to be Chinese. The name is said to be named after a real-life outstanding Chinese person.

The aroma is not that strong and the finish is sharp. It is easy to drink without any unpleasant taste. It is suitable for beginners. It is a light and dry sake, which is the current trend. It seems to go well with light fish rather than meat-based dishes. You may drink this sake alone as an aperitif. It is very easy to drink and worth going to the brewery to buy. It may not be suitable for those who like old-fashioned sake.

You can also buy it at the “Shichiken” supermarket, a brewery that is conveniently located from Tokyo.

Today, too, a dusty, solitary drink.

The season of autumn leaves. The brewery is reading me. So I flew to Hakushu in Yamanashi Prefecture. I am still a sucker for limited edition sake.

Everything sounds better when it’s “best,” doesn’t it? The water was explained enthusiastically that it is well water that has been coming down the underground water vein for 30 years. There is a Suntory factory and another manufacturer’s wine factory nearby.

Clear and easy to drink. It’s a fragrant sake. Fruity sweetness to the end. Aperitif or in-between-dinner drink. It tastes like a white wine with a touch of alcohol after the sweetness. It goes well with strong dishes. Mild and easy to drink, recommended for beginners. It is treated in the same way as white wine.
