Just in time for the last sake of the year...I decided on this one!
Tanaka Rokuugo, 13% alc. ver. of it, which I heard is only sold at limited distributors 👀.
Almost no top notes, with a gentle sweet aroma of caramel and wasanbon.
Compared to the regular Tanaka Rokuugo, it has a stronger sweetness and umami, yet it's clean and transparent, and the mouthfeel is light, but it's also very voluminous 🤔.
There is almost no gassiness, and the impact of the flavor is mid to slightly late in the process, and I didn't notice any bitterness or other miscellaneous flavors ✨.
This is awesome! The difference from the regular Tanaka Rokugo is also obvious and I thought it would be more interesting to compare the two 👍
I just realized that Solitary Gourmet is over and we're almost at the end of the year 🎍.
Thank you everyone for your help this year, have a drunken New Year 🍶!
Good evening, Chirsta 😄!
Just in time for a comment 🙌!

Tanaka Rokugo, I had my eye on this one for the next one when it comes to hi-ire and nama 👀.
I'm going to enjoy my sake life to the fullest this year too 💪!
I'm late but Happy New Year to you, HinaHanaMama-san!
I hope you will continue to introduce Kyushu's sake to us as much as you can ✨I would be very happy if you would continue to introduce Kyushu's sake to us as well, starting with Hiran. ☺️
Nao888, I know I'm late, but Happy New Year 🎍.
I'll tell you why in my next post, but I'm super late 💦.
I'd like to send out some local sake, but there's a traffic jam of other sake I'd like to drink more than that😅.
Jay & Nobby, I know I'm late, but Happy New Year!
I couldn't do any drinking activities on New Year's due to certain reasons, so I'm going to enjoy it slowly now after I get home😅.
I'll try my best at my own pace 🎍! I'll do my best at my own pace 💪.
ma-ki-San, I know I'm late, but Happy New Year to you🎍!
No, no, no. I'm not late! Thank you very much for your support 🙇♂️
I'm a little late to the start of the New Year, but I'm going to try my best to catch up with you all in moderation 💪.
◆Tanaka Rokugo Itoshima Yamadanishiki Junmai 720ml
We shared a gift with our family.
sharing it with my wife.
The aroma is fresh, soft and fruity.
the aroma is fresh and soft, reminiscent of fruit
soft and fruity
The concentrated flavor of rice and
and a sense of sourness that lingers in the air.
It has a great balance.
It's in perfect harmony.
From the brewer's point of view.
I think it's a food sake.
I enjoyed it on its own.
It's really delicious!
My wife and I
We are fighting over the booze!
I got a bottle of Tanaka Rokugo's nama-shu, which I have been longing for since I had it last year, so I immediately opened the bottle and re-lived the excitement of that time: ‼️
When poured into a glass, the aroma is understated and elegant, like white peaches or Japanese pears ✨.
The slight gasiness and freshness that is typical of nama-shu heightens the sense of anticipation 😊.
I have the impression that this time the ginjo aroma is more gentle than the muscat-like nuance I felt before.
The first sensation in the mouth is the exquisite harmony between the fresh rice flavor and the pleasant acidity that tightens it up.
The smooth mouthfeel is so clear that it is hard to believe that the rice polishing ratio is 65%, and the fact that it is free of any cloying flavors is a true testament to the quality of the sake.
It has a soft texture that seems to spread roundly on the tongue, and a dry finish that quickly clears up at the throat.
I found myself almost halfway through the bottle (lol). It's exactly the kind of flavor that makes you love it more and more with every glass. ‼️
Tanaka Rokuugo is a great sake that never disappoints. The balance of this sake is so good that I might end up drinking too much 😅.
The final post of the year is Tanaka Rokujuugo🍶.
Junmai-shu brewed by Tanaka-san, the brewer, in a brewery in the rice paddies with a 65% polishing ratio of Yamada-Nishiki produced in Itoshima.
Gentle melon banana pear clear smooth natural!
The appearance is very pale orikara with a clear haze.
The aroma is gentle, gentle and neatly sweet.
Aromas of moderately ripe melon, banana, and pear.
A sweet koji aroma like amazake (sweet sake) gently wafts through the air, and there is a slight lactic acid bacteria drink feeling.
The rice aroma is about that of white dumplings.
Very smooth texture.
It has a moderate sweetness with a softness of orikara, and is accompanied by a very fine and gentle acidity.
Fine gasiness that tickles the tongue 🫧.
The rounded, beautiful umami of the rice flavor flows through freshly and smoothly, with a hint of melon in the overtone.
The sweetness of the rice is balanced just enough to keep it from becoming dry.
The finish is medium with a very good sharpness that seems to disappear.
There is almost no bitterness, but a slight bitterness that gives a sense of richness when swallowed.
Clear, smooth, fresh!
Delicately balanced, exquisite and very intoxicating😊.
Thank you very much for your help this year.
Please look forward to working with us again next year 🙇.
Have a drunken New Year 🍶 everyone!
Hi Aladdin😃Thank you for getting involved so much this year😊Lastly, Tanaka Sixty-Five - looks delicious 😋 but I'm more interested in the garlic broth soy sauce! I wonder if they sell it in the supermarket🤔.
Hi Aladdin 😀
Thank you for your clear and tame comments on my last post of the year 😀
Tanaka Rokugo-san used to drink a lot when he was 65 years old, but not at all these days, so I would like to drink again 😀.
Hi Aladdin 😌.
I appreciate your review as I haven't had Tanaka Rokugo yet ☺️ I'd like to try it someday but I don't know when it will be as it's not sold near me 😭
Have a drunken New Year 🥳🎉, Aladdin!
Hi Aladdin 😃
Tanaka Rokugo's raw sake is really delicious with a delicious sweetness 🥰It's definitely well-balanced and tastes good enough to drink as much as you want ✨Have a drunken New Year 🍶.
Hi Aladdin!
Tanaka Rokuugo's raw sake is really delicious 😋.
I had my first saké the other day and I loved the transition of flavors😍.
Thank you for another great review 🤗
I hope you have a happy new year 😊.
Thank you Aladdin for another great year 😊.
Tanaka Rokugo's Draft Sake! We'll end the year with a delicious sake. ❣️ Dice steak? It would also go well with
I always really appreciate your reference 🙏 Please keep up the good work in the coming year 🙇.
Hi Aladdin 😃
Tanaka Rokugo's nama is fresh and delicious 😊.
I always look at your posts, they are very specific and informative 😄.
Have a very drunken New Year's ✨
Wakata, the year has begun 🎍.
Please continue to support us in the new year 🐴.
This garlic broth soy sauce from Kamata Soy Sauce is very tasty 🧄.
It was the key to the broth when I made motsu-nabe before!
I recommend it!
Yasbay, the year has begun 🎍.
I hope you have a great new year 🎠.
I see 😳That's one way to drink 😄
It would be perfect if the drinker was Mr. Tanaka 😁.
I am planning to drink Shiraito Shuzo's sake in the new year 🍶.
Afio, the year has begun 🎍.
I hope you have a great new year 🐎.
I quite like Kyushu sake and I also recommend Tanaka Rokuugo 🍶.
I hope you will try it! I hope you find Tanaka Rokuugo this year 🙏.
ichiro18, the year has begun 🎍.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🏇.
Tanaka Rokugo, it's been a while since I've had it, but it was still delicious: ☺️
As you said, the balance of sweetness and flavor is divine 🙆🙆😊.
ma-ki-, the year has begun 🎍.
I hope you have a great new year 🐴.
Indeed, the transitional development of flavors is also blissful ☺️The softness that the honey tree pressing brings through the whole process is also irresistible 🍶😊.
Pon, it is my pleasure to thank you for all your help during the last year 🙇.
We look forward to working with you again in the new year 🎍🎠🎍.
Tanaka Rokugo's orikarami nama sake was an excellent match for both the dice steak and the chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) with plenty of broth 😊.
Maecin-san, it's been a new year 🌅.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🐎.
Thank you for the compliment ☺️
This year, I will try my best to convey the wonderfulness of sake in a more emotional way 🍶😄.
Happy New Year, Aladdin 🌅 and we look forward to working with you this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
This year we too are going to focus on chatting 😆 and refining our taste expression of alcohol!
Aladdin, also here: ☃️
I'm putting off reviewing it, but I had it here at the store the other day 🥰.
I personally found it to be a pretty well balanced intoxicating drink: ✨️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby 🎍.
We look forward to seeing you again this year 🐎.
I look forward to another year of J&N's heartwarming posts 🍶😄.
I hope to win the battle against the character limit this year 💪📝.
Hi Gyve 😃
Oh, you drank here too 🍶☺️ I'm looking forward to seeing Gyve's intense year-end countdown drinking post now!
Tanaka Rokugo, personally I think it's a balance that I could probably keep drinking forever 🍶😊.
Tanaka Rokuugo Junmai-shu Nama-shu
The aroma of rice is soft yet gorgeous.
When you drink it, you will feel a sense of transparency on your tongue.
It has a fresh and gentle umami and sweetness that shows the quality of the water, and a pleasant acidity that accompanies the taste.
The well-balanced flavor is as expected, and although the acidity is cute and fruit-like in a sense, the balance is more food-oriented. The aftertaste of gentle astringency and bitterness enhances the food.
Thank you very much.
