( *´ ³`)no 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we opened a bottle of Tedorigawa, a local sake 😃. The aroma is fresh and pear 🍐 type 🤔, slightly fizzy on the palate 😊, good balance of fresh acidity and gentle sweetness👍😚It's a delicious sake good to drink in the hot season from now on 🥳.

Japanese>English

Sweet smell Tasty and full of flavor, with a slight sweetness and bitterness that leaves a clean aftertaste.

It comes in a wooden box and looks luxurious. When I tried it with cold sake, the aroma was mild, but when I drank it, I felt a slight umami, and it quickly became sharp. Next time I'll try it at room temperature🎵.

I got this as a prize in a golf competition. This is my first time brewing Yamahai, and I will enjoy it slowly on the weekend.

Japanese>English

(*^_^*)Western-style drink. The first Tengu-Mai cup sake. The color is a little yellowish. It tastes like a very strong sake. This is the essence of sake, isn't it?

Japanese>English

It's so rich! It's not that bad! I can certainly feel the thickness of the flavor! I can't detect much acidity. I couldn't detect much acidity. I can't feel it, I like it because it is very rich!

It is dark. Dark, sweet, and punchy 😵. But it's also very tasty. I think it is the type that you face it head on and drink it slowly. It's been a while since I've had an alcohol headache lol. I looked at it closely and it's 19 degrees... I see what you mean😅.

Refill! Aromatic smell. The aromatic mouthfeel has a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and umami. Although it is rich and has an alcohol content of 19%, there is no taste that sticks to you while drinking it, so you can drink it easily and be satisfied. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Cream, aged smell. The wine has a matured taste, but it is in harmony with the sweetness and is not hard to drink. Full-bodied, umami, stimulated by alcohol and acidity, it is refreshing yet tasty with a strong flavor! I hear that the raw sake smells even better!

Japanese>English

Naohiko Noguchi Institute I wanted to try. Smells like caramel and grain. It has a dry, drinkable, honey-like sweetness, a strong flavor, powerful acidity, and a clean aftertaste with enough stimulation to numb the tongue. Delicious. Impact like a whiskey. The official recommendation is to drink it lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius). The warmer it is, the less stimulating it is. It is a great match for fish, and the fish becomes twice as good with the support. I should have bought another kind. Second day. The second day was also good.

(**Ohmigosh*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got a bottle of Sogen, a local sake 😀 I bought it because it was at a liquor store I hadn't been to in a while✋It doesn't have much aroma, but when you drink it, it has a good balance of sourness and umami, with a concentrated flavor. It is slightly dry and has a nice sharpness so you won't get tired of drinking it 🤔It is a delicious sake, almost like a first squeezed raw sake 😚.

Japanese>English

Drink and cheer 📣✊! I received a bottle of sake from Sogen Sake Brewery, which was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake 😀 I drink this sake often and have memories of going to the brewery last year to buy Kiri sake 😥 I hope they will resume sake production soon. The aroma has a slight ginjo aroma 😊. On the palate, it has a rich rice🌾 flavor, a gentle sweetness, a strong richness/taste, and a good cut 😚👍It has a lingering and spicy taste that is perfect 😋. Stable Sogen is a delicious sake no matter what time of day you drink it ✨.

σ(********) wdwdwdwd Sogen after a long absence. I had it in a cup today. It was a delicious sake that is typical of Sogen.

Junmai Ginjo sake using only Gohyakumangoku from Ishikawa Prefecture. Even though it is an unpasteurized sake, it is refreshing! It's a sake for a meal.

Japanese>English

unfiltered nakakumi ikebi The aroma is subdued and different from fruity. Dry and slightly spicy, with a crisp aftertaste. Hardy sake with a delicious taste🌾 Also delicious😊. The raw rice is 100% Hukunohana from Izushi, Hyogo.

I bought some sushi with my favorite boiled conger eel besides western style snacks at the department store.... I opened the bottle thinking it would go well with this dry sake... ^ ^ The aroma is of rice with a harsh taste ⁈It's hard to describe σ(^_^;) It has a dry and sharp taste, but I thought it didn't go well with the sweet sauce of conger eel (T . T). T) It's difficult to find the right marriage (>_<)

Acidity Umami Floral Firm Fizzy Dry Tranquil Bitterness

Yuho 1

Yuho 3

Smells like yogurt, and when the temperature rises, it smells like cotton candy. The rice-flavored liquid is slightly carbonated, and while you think it is light to drink, it changes and becomes heavy with rice flavor, astringency, a sourness and bitterness that comes in a rush, then changes to sweetness and a lactic acidity that is tingling and refreshing. The changes are interesting. When muddled, the rice flavor becomes stronger and a little bitter, and the umami that comes after is pleasant, with a slight sweetness and flavors of rice and koji that are both powerful and beautiful. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could be a part of this event! I had a small bottle of Yuho, which is made from the sake rice of Ishikawa Prefecture, Hyakumangoku no Shiro 😀 It is a delicious sake with a pure rice flavor.

Japanese>English

( ☆¯ πι¯☆)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Youho's Yamayoshiroshi today 😀. It's my first time to drink it at home 😁. The aroma is mild and not so much 🤔, probably due to the fact that the bottle was chilled to the perfect temperature before opening. It has a strong umami 👍and a fresh aroma that may be derived from the Yamahai method 😊It has a nice sharpness to it 😚. Summer sake🌻⛅️ is over and it's time for cold sake🍁🍄🌰 which is now in full flavor🥰I'm looking forward to the future sake🥳.

(Holy shit!!!🍶🍶🍶🍶 The last day of GW in no time 😭 To close out the holiday, we opened a bottle of our local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😀 It is a recovery sake brewed by Yukawa Sake Brewery 😊WOM gave us the information and we were able to purchase it 🙏. Nice fruit-like aroma typical of Okunoto's Shirakiku😊Elegant sweetness and umami are as delicious as before 😚👍Gentle acidity spreads slowly and disappears with a clean aftertaste✨. It's still the same delicious sake that is typical of Okunoto Shirakiku 🥳.

Japanese>English

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku today 😀. The bottle was opened with a high pitched jupon💕 The aroma is mild, but the mouthfeel is clean and dry 🤔The sweetness comes out slowly and gently 😊The aftertaste is gentle and acidic 😚👍. The raw sake was a little harsh, but it has matured and become mellow😇Shirakiku is still a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

(((((*´sigh*))))🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got some local Ishikawa white chrysanthemum 😀. We traveled by car to Yamagata and Akita prefectures for the holiday weekend. I just came home and was going to drink the sake I bought, but I had to take a break with the local sake 😙. The aroma is mild 😚 and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the banana and the rice flavor 😘 the gusto and the delicious acidity swells up in your mouth and disappears quickly 🥰. Shirakiku from Okunoto with concentrated umami There is also a delicious local sake 💕

(Translated from Japanese by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I was in the vicinity of Takeba's brewery, Kazuma Shuzo, on business the other day, so I stopped by the brewery to purchase some 😃. The aroma is fresh and mellow 😚The taste in the mouth is fresh, juicy, sweet and delicious 😊The acidity is clean and crisp 😊The taste is delicious 🥰. I realized later that if I went all the way to the brewery, I should have bought the brewery's limited edition sake 🤣.

Q(^-^q) hed hed hed hed It is a cup sake of a bamboo leaf. It is a sake with a weighty feeling like this is a sake 😀. I think the origin is cup sake 😙.

(Translated by ∇🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and support ✊🏻📣 ̖́- Today we got a cup of Takeba sake😋. When we ran out of Noto sake after the earthquake, I bought a cup of sake to support ✊🏻📣 ̖́- at least with a cup ̖́- 😀. The rice flavor and a hint of sweetness with just the right amount of lingering aftertaste 😊Slightly sweet sake 😚👍This was a delicious guy 🥳.
