50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

Sweet and spicy sake as per the radar chart on the can. + home-aged🍶. Growing in the fridge (I tend to forget when to drink it while it's in the fridge), manufactured in September 2023. It has been a long time since I've had it, even though it's a regular sake. It has a sweet ginjo aroma on the nose. It has a sweet and spicy flavor with a hint of maturity and aroma. 😋😋😋😋 It has been left in the fridge for a long time, so it is not old, but matured. My dad brought it to me when he visited 🍶.

What a first for me, Kikusui Funaguchi! I have always been curious about it. The price was high for me when I didn't drink sake, and when I started drinking sake, it wasn't in my price range. Before thinking about it, I decided to give it a try! When I opened the lid, I was astonished by the smell of nama-zake, which I often smell! When you drink it, you will be astonished by the taste of proper nama-shu (not cheap sake)! (It must be kumquat). After a while after opening the bottle, the bitterness of the high ales are noticeable, but it's not bad!

As a nutritional supplement when cooking for yourself I was intimidated by the "19% alcohol by volume" label, but when well chilled, the refreshing aroma and sweet flavor made it easy to drink and I felt it was a skillfully brewed honjozo sake. Served with the smell of simmering tomato stew with red kidney beans and minced meat

Impulse buy🍶. Clear oaky and fruity aroma, powerful oaky feeling and mellowness from the first impression on the palate and finally dry and lingering feeling. It is fresh and full of flavor. It has a good mouthfeel, so be careful.

The aroma is subdued yet gorgeous. The mouthfeel is sweet with a slight aftertaste, but soon after, there is a pungent alcohol taste and a slight acidity. The aftertaste is slightly pungent, but it does not linger and is light. Slightly sweet Alcohol 15%. Sake level: Normal Low acidity Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It feels similar to Souzake. It is named dry, but it has a strong taste, but it is refreshing and easy to drink. It does not feel too dry.

It gives the impression of having a sweet aroma. It is a sake-like sake that goes well with Japanese food. It was served with a homemade gratin dish and grilled chicken thigh with honey soy sauce.

Today, I'm going to drink Kikusui Funaguchi Ichiban Shiboribori❗️ I couldn't go to the liquor store to buy this sake, which is also sold in supermarkets❗️ but this 500ml is quite rare (◠‿◠◠). The aroma is the sharp keening aroma of the original sake that comes to the back of your nose❗️As you take a sip, you can feel the dense texture on your tongue and the tangy raw acidity❗️❗️I've had this sake many times, but it's still a good sake⭕️
