It is sweet and tasty, but not too sweet, and has a complex depth that is hard to describe. There is a slight bitterness at the end that keeps you from getting bored. If I had to say I wanted it to be a little darker...
The first turtle sea you gave me😄.
I like basically dry sake, so the first day was recently. It was the sweetest sake I've ever had at home, I guess it's fruity but I don't even know what kind of sweetness it has because I have a stupid tongue that basically doesn't like fruits😅.
Yesterday, the third day after the bottle was opened, the sweetness became milder, and I enjoyed it because of the strong flavor of the food 😋.
The sake rice is Hitogokochi, which has a sweet and fruity taste!
The moment I drank it, the pineapple reminded me of the previous Hana Abi!
Of course, it goes well with meat and cheese!
Good evening, Abi!
Kame no Kai's Umakuchi Junmai is delicious 😋!
I took you there after learning about it from Sake no Wa and you were calling it delicious 😁✨✨.
I think it's one of the best things about sake to enjoy it with food 🤗
Pineapple-like, ripe fruit aroma.
When it is sipped, it has a pineapple and yellow peach aroma with milky rice flavor.
The umami is firm, as is typical of autumn sake.
It has a gorgeous yet calm taste.

The sweetness and umami are mild, with some acidity.
The umami is strong but not persistent!
The fire-roasting process makes it mellow!
It is a little unsatisfactory!

Mellow, umami-kuchi type
Full of rice flavor and a little bit of sweetness.
It has a soft and refreshing taste combined with a weak acidity!
It is mellow because it is fire-brewed!
Compared to the "Semishigure" I bought before, it is made from the same rice and has the same rice polishing ratio, but it is not enough at all!
I realized later that "Semishigure" was a draft sake!
✩4.0
The overall flavor is mellow, which is a good indication that it is an autumn sake. It has a strong umami flavor and good sharpness. It also has a slightly bitter taste, which is not bad. However, the aroma (vinegared ethyl acetate?) that lingers in the nose is not good. It is not so good. We will see how it progresses.
The autumn sake also has an honest, pleasant, and lively aroma that is typical of Kame-no-Kai.
The taste of rice in autumn is well balanced with the sweet and sour flavors of autumn.
I'm drinking at home 🎶♬♫
I've been curious about "Turtle Sea" 🍶 since your post.
I've been to a few stores that carry it, but the timing of when it comes in and when I go there isn't right 😭.
Today it was there 👀 autumn🍂 season sake!
But they only have one bottle 😅😨😨 my wife will be so upset if I bring a bottle home 💢😤 in the fridge 😆.
But if I don't buy it today, it's going to run out so I bought it 😊.
A little yellowish like an autumn sake.
Smells like soft ripe fruit 😍
Tastes like ripe fruit too. I'm not sure what it is. Ripe fruit 🍑? 🍈? 🍊?
Subtle sourness to bitter 🙆.
As the label on the back says, the taste changes as the temperature rises.
A bottle is the right choice🫡.
Pon-chan, good evening...
Everyone commented that Kame no Umi's spring and summer sake is delicious, and from there we went to Nijo a few times😅.
I heard that they also have Yongbottle in stock. Mainly one square bottles because they are sold to restaurants 😅.
I felt like I couldn't leave empty handed today 😨.
Good evening, Ao!
Congratulations on your first Kame no Umi at ㊗️ 🎉It's a bottle of sake and it's delicious 🤗Heating up the sake was great 🍶☺️
We'll be sure to bring you our favorite Semi Shigure next season 👋.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😊
It was delicious 🎤 in the evening 🎤 Kame no Kai 😍 still have some left 😅.
