Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ Light fruity aroma upon opening the bottle. When you put it in your mouth, you will be impressed by its strong sweetness. It is cut off by a light acidity. The sweetness is not defeated even if it is a mealtime sake. It is delicious enough, but a little too sweet for my taste. It is delicious enough, but a little too sweet for my taste. It is sweeter than last year.

I'm talking about two weeks ago😅. Jay had his regular dental checkup 🦷 on this day. The doctor said, "Jay, you brush and interdental brush very well, 97 points!" The doctor said 🙂 ‼️ because teeth are the most important thing for a drunkard's knob 😆. And after a sweaty afternoon walk💦and a hassle-free shopping trip, I bought some snacks at the Seven right down the street and I was ready to go! Light snacks are OK for this day's drinking👍 I'll make love to you The aroma is like the sound of cicadas. I take a sip and it's like...! Semi shigure It's definitely delicious 🥰I could drink Semiashigure every day if I wanted to! I think a bottle of Semi Shigure would be better." That was the second bottle of this season's Semi Shigure at ‼️ I've been missing sweet and sour tastes like this after a long time of refreshing drinks 😙, but if I keep drinking them like this, I'll start wanting to drink them again 😅The order in which you drink them is important 🧐. I was so satisfied with the taste that it evaporated...and I had a moment of silence looking at the empty boar cup and the four-pack 😑What are you going to do about it Jay? What are you going to do, Nobby? And we read each other's minds 😒. Ah! We ended the evening with a bottle of "Aizu Homare" that Sashiu-san gave us as a gift from the Kenmin Kai 😋 It was the best packaged sake I've ever had 🥹. Thank you 😊! Thank you 😊.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby😊. Once you get to know how good Semi Shigure tastes. I can see why you would want two bottles in one season👍.

Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby Good morning... I have read your report on Kame no Kai Semishigure and it is one of the sakes I would like to drink... but I don't see Kame no Kai itself 😥I can see why you would need a bottle 🤩but you know... fridge problem....

Japanese>English

Hi Kojo 😃. I'm sorry you can't find turtle sea for sale 😓I'll have to find a way to make use of it on my business trip or something 🧐. We have a small fridge that can hold exactly one bottle waiting to be put to use 😊I'm not using it right now 😅.

The summer preliminary round of high school baseball is very interesting. Yokohama High School vs. Hiratsuka Gakuen was thrilling to the end. ⚾️ Here is my top summer sake 💁. I was not a fan of Malik, which I drank for the first time, and I avoided it, but I procured this bottle thinking it must be too much since it has participated for 4 consecutive years under J&N-san, the influencer of the sake-no-wa world. The aroma is muscat-like? Green apple juice The acidity is strong as expected 💪. The sweetness seems sweet but not too sweet, how easy to drink. Perfect for this season😄It certainly runs out quickly, but I stuck with it until the 5th day to compare drinks. The taste was stable with little change in flavor. Coolness from the label🧊🧊🧊 (3 points) Drinkability🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊 (perfect score) Taste🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊 (6 points) Overall Rating🎐🎐🎐🎐🎐🎐🎐 (7 points)

Hi, studying 😃 I was able to watch the high school baseball game LIVE just during the last attack of Yokohama High School 😁It was a numbing game as you said ✨Semishigure, it's easy to drink in a refreshing way👍.

Japanese>English

Hello, Mr. Studying! We have a great group of summer sake members here 🎵. The first one is the stablemate, Semishigure 🤗. It's really a refreshing, not too sweet and easy to drink sake 😋.

Japanese>English

Good evening, ichiro18 😃Oh, you saw that game? I was really impressed by the Yokohama captain's good-bye hit after the game had been pushed to the brink. I know it will never happen, but if a girl like this came to my company, I would hire her immediately 😊.

Japanese>English

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃I've started a bad habit of buying more and more 😅My wife and kids are appalled at me. I'm sure you are a pro at finding the perfect balance between sweet and not too sweet. I enjoyed it very much 😃.

Japanese>English

Hi there, studying 😃. Oh! You've gone, Mr. Semi Shigure. ‼️ In our opinion, he is one of the shining stars in Koshien 🏟️ 😄 after going through the Nagano Prefectural Qualifiers 4 years in a row 😙. Maybe he's graduating and going pro 😁.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Semi Shigure, it was easy to drink and represented the quintessential battleground of Nagano: ☺️ In Jay & Nobby's world line, 5 years in a row must be a sure thing 💯.

Summer in Japan is hot! Therefore, in order to make sake more comfortable and enjoyable from early summer to mid-summer, we have made a bold move and renewed our low-alcohol unpasteurized sake, which is sweet and sour with a beautiful aftertaste. Nagano yeast R (high malic acid production) is used, and the sake rice is Nagano's popular Yamae-Nishiki. It has a white wine-like nuance and is a delight to enjoy with food.

I looked at this turtle sea to see if it was new to me and saw that it was low al at 9 degrees, so I bought this one to try. The aroma is sour, like yogurt and lychee, also rummy. When you include it, it is chili and sour! Hard to describe, but bright and brisk, juicy acidity 🍋. Some firm sweetness, but a nice balance with the acidity. The aroma seems a little sweet? I thought it might be a little sweet, but the taste is just the right acidity juice for summer 🍏. It is low in alcohol but rich, and while it is very drinkable, it is refreshing at the end, so you can drink it in big gulps. The alcohol content is low, but it is thick and refreshing at the end, so you can drink it in large gulps. It was the type of sake that I would drink by itself rather than with a meal. It was delicious and just right for a hot day!

Hi Kotaro 😃 Juicy Malic✨I'm attracted to it from the name 😍It's a true Malic that's drinkable even with low alcohol! It sounds fruity and delicious even after reading your review ✨.

This is my second 🐢🌊 🤗. Last time my friend told me it was as good as a flower sun shower 🌸 Spring Ura 🌸 I was told about Semishigure by a fellow sakewa when I made that post 📝. I was wondering when it would be released and then I caught my sakéwa friend posting it 👆. I thought it was on sale now 👆 and the next day, I went to my favorite liquor store 🚗. I was looking from one side to the other and couldn't find it, but there it was! Last bottle 👏. I was so excited 🤣. And now the bottle is open! Psshhhh 🎉Great sound! The aroma is different from that of Haru-ura...what is it...a white wine 🍸️? I wonder if the seniors are right 😄. My family laughed at the sight of me thinking about it while holding my nose to the glass and turning it around and around 🤣. It was like a chili gas feeling followed by a sweetness and then a white wine-like acidity to kick it up a notch! Delicious💕 It's 14% so it's like a juice 🥤 and it's delicious 🥰. A perfect summer bottle, the label is cute and nice 😚.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Yennomi! Arguably 🐢 you got your cicada 😁. I was looking forward to your post 🎵 I got mine safely too: ✌️ The acidity is perfect for summer 😋. I can imagine your family laughing 😁.

Japanese>English

Good evening, ma-ki 😄. Thank you very much for teaching me about cicadas 🙇. Let's enjoy the sake life 🍶.

Hello Yenomi 😃 Our first choice summer sake Semi Shigure ‼️ is ridiculously good 🤗 let's get a bottle next time 😋.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄! Jay & Nobby, we were able to get a bottle of your guess! It's definitely a gubi gubi type of bottle, so if it's the two of you, a bottle would be good 😍.

It seems to be gaining in popularity, so I thought I'd buy something like this once in a while. The aroma is apple-like. When you take a sip, it tastes slightly bitter like green apple with a weak acidity. The sharpness is only a hint of bitterness. On the second day, it becomes sweeter like honey, and the bitterness becomes like a final sharpness, mellowing and improving. In any case, it is a typical modern sake.

It's still delicious in the turtle sea ✨ Compared to the last Yellow Label, the juiciness that comes with a bang is generally lessened and the impression is more moist. However, it is still smooth with a sweet and sour taste like that of apple, and the characteristic pineapple-like aftertaste can be fully enjoyed! It's delicious. I'd like to visit the brewery someday 😆 lol

Good evening, Mr. pepper! Kame no Kai is delicious 😋. I really liked the pink label 🤗.

Hello Mr. pepper 😃 I have full confidence in you, Mr. Turtle Sea 🤗. We just had our second bottle of "Semishigure" this season 😙.

Good evening, ma-ki-! It really is delicious, isn't it? It's the best drink I've had the pleasure of knowing in recent times✨.

Yesterday we got the rock🎸y ones, so today we got the haiku 🇯🇵 ones. Last year, a coworker gave me an Aki-agari and I drank it for the first time, Turtle Sea Sun. It was so good that this year I will come back from the summer cicadas. Let's have a taste. It is a little pithy on the palate. The next moment, the taste of muscat-like flavor comes rushing in. And finally, there is the sharpness of the acidity. I still like the girl I fell in love with last year 😍. And the fun part of Turtle Sea is when it warms up in the glass a bit. After the fall, the aroma spread. This time... the sourness of the sharpness became like yogurt 😍. I recommend the turtle 🐢 sea 🌊 which can be enjoyed twice at once.

Good evening, Kosuke 😃. Oh! That's a local label for Semi Shigure: ‼️ This is ridiculously delicious 😙We had our second bottle this season over the weekend 😋You can drink as many bottles as you want....

Today, I bought again a special sake from Kame no Kai in Saku, Nagano Prefecture, which I drank a while ago and enjoyed so much that I bought it again, a special sake that is only sold in ❗️3 places. ❗️❗️ The aroma is a fresh fruity sweet aroma of raw ginjo❗️ sip and you get a dense texture on the tongue, followed by tingling, fruity sweetness, and finally acidity❗️ and the scent of ginjo leaves your nose❗️❗️ a great sake with the taste of raw fresh tingling ginjo❤️
