Umami Acidity Bitterness Fizzy Dry Firm Fresh Sharp

I was looking forward to drinking it. Fruity and fresh aroma...mouthfeel...sweet and delicious 😋 with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste...maybe my expectations were too high...it's delicious, but it's a classic sake.... Maybe it's because it's one of the specs of "⭐️"...a little disappointing...I'll drink a higher spec next time...

Japanese>English

While bringing the rich flavor to the fore It has a good aftertaste that can be cut quickly. The rice polishing ratio is 80%. I don't understand the logic behind such a beautiful taste. I don't understand it at all. It is my own word of praise.

Japanese>English

Fresh rice, fresh smell of milk that I've never smelled before. It tastes like a schwash, lees flavor, and the bitter part of the grapefruit is sharp and clean. Good! Dry. Easy to drink. The flavor comes out again, full and powerful. I see that the rarity is indicated by stars. It will be hard to find if you want this powerful feeling and clean dryness. The second day is also delicious.

This sake was drunk during the Chou-you Festival. It has a clear aroma rather than a fruity aroma? It's a good sake with a delicious rice flavor and a refreshing aftertaste.

Japanese>English

Fruity aroma, sweet sip, no, this is one of my favorite things to drink. This is my first time drinking this wine, but I feel a connection with it... I'd like to try the other sake from Yoshida Shuzo too!

Japanese>English

The balance shines through. The impression is that sweetness, sourness, umami, and bitterness come together just right. It's lightly sipped, and it's good for sipping sake. I could drink this drink on its own for a long time! When it's freshly opened and cold, it has a watery, clear taste. It also has a slight spicy taste. I often think recently that the way you feel it changes depending on the temperature range is one of the interesting and difficult aspects of sake. Compared to the same junmai ginjo sake (Ryosuka), the acidity is more subdued and the taste is more pronounced. On the third day after opening it, I felt the flavors opened up and the gentle sweetness and umami reached its peak! It's very tasty.

TENJOJI Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml Rice: Gohyakumangoku from Okuidumo, Tsuyahime from Shimane Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 17%. This sake was bundled with the February hanpukai. Drinking Tenshuu makes me want to go to Izumo and eat soba noodles😃. The aroma of this one is very distinctive. It has a pleasant smoky aroma. I guess you could call it fragrance 😁.

Tenshitsu Haru no Tsuki Slightly sparkling Junmai Nigori Nama Shu 720ml Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 18%. I opened a bottle of Tenshitsu that was included in the February hanpukai. It has a very complex flavor. It is fresh but also has a bitter taste, gasiness, and a slight smokiness. It tastes like an adult. Interesting.

Japanese>English

I chose a dry one, thinking it would be lighter. I like Izumo Fuji from Shimane and drink it often, but this one is very good. 17%, a little high in alcohol, so I tasted it slowly, but it has a presence that complements the food. I became a fan.

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had it fresh out of the fridge and chilled. It's a delicious sake that's easy to drink. If you drink it after a while, you can enjoy a slightly different aroma and taste. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

It has the freshness of freshly squeezed rice, the acidity unique to Yamada Nishiki, and a slightly sour taste. It is not suitable for beginners...it is a traditional Japanese sake...

Japanese>English

October 31, 2023 Japanese sake and food at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. I was served a recommended brand of dry sake. The fourth glass was Izumo Fuji Junmai Ginjo Super Dry. It was the first time for me to drink this brand. It is my first time to drink this brand, but I personally like it because of its clean and beautiful taste. I personally like it very much. I think it is the best one I have had so far. I think it was the best among all I drank this time. This is the first time I have had this brand, but I personally like it very much. The three kinds of delicacies (ayu fish Uruka, oysters in salted malted rice, and konokawa), hiretu, and konokawa were served. (ayu fish Uruka, oyster in salted malted rice, and konowata), and ray fillet, and rare cutlet of beef. I enjoyed it with a variety of dishes.

Koji ratio 39 A challenge product brewed for the depth of fermentation and the possibility of a wide range of flavors. I don't know the details. It has a unique sweetness and acidity more than kijoshu. It is difficult to taste and understand, but I enjoy drinking it.

It's white and looks like ❄️⛄️. Sweet and mellow I was expecting it to be thicker, but it's pretty easy to drink 😊. I read the label on the back and it looks like it would be great with soda! I should have tried it! I realized today that I should have tried it. All the drinks in this set are new to me. I was also surprised that the bananas had a higher alcohol content! ฅ(⊙д⊙๑)ฅ

It's the first time I've had a sake from the west, and I was expecting it to be more heavy, but it's surprisingly refreshing. It has a gassy and spicy aftertaste with a 19 degree alcohol smell that flows away.

Third hiyaoroshi of the year🍁 Yummy 😻trolly and thick💪. On the first day of opening the bottle, it was still a bit "onen" and the alcohol smell was a bit stingy, but from the second day it started to show its true potential✨. Slightly dry with a deep rice taste and aroma. The back label recommends chilled, but I also liked it at room temperature 😋.

The rice is clean and crisp. The taste of the rice can also be felt. Easy to match with meals. The alcohol content is a little low at 15 degrees. This was my first time drinking Li Bai. I have never had Li Bai before, but it has a taste that I never get tired of.

Japanese>English

At home. My first Shimane. The aroma and the first impression on the palate is that it is a solid sake, a dry sake at that. When you taste it on your tongue, you can feel the sweet and savory taste. Two cups later, my ears are burning. It has a different strength from the stylish label.

Japanese>English

It was Friday, so I opened a bottle of Yi Bai that had been sitting in the fridge. Hmmm...it seems to be suitable as a food wine, with its refreshing and acidic taste. It is not unique, but easy to drink. A good sake.
