A drinking friend of mine wanted to drink a bottle of Takezuru by Toshi Ishikawa, who has moved to Tsuki no I. So I agreed to accompany him. We had it heated. The first aroma is like a matured Shaoxing sake. The first sip had a matured Shaoxing sake-like aroma, and the second had a mildly sweet taste with a Shaoxing sake-like acidity and umami. The sweetness is still there, but it's the kind of fully fermented sake that you can drink while eating snacks. It was delicious 🍶✨.

I've been saving it for over 2 years because it's my favorite brand, but I've decided to open it up. I'm going to enjoy changing the flavor slowly from here ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it in, the aroma is like sweet baked sweets like sponge cake or kawara senbei. The mouthfeel is round and robust. It is round and robust on the palate, with a punch of spiciness and a tangy sourness. It also has a rich, thick flavor and a sweetness that spreads gradually. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter is exquisite, not just strong and heavy, and the taste has a wide range of deep flavors, including a confectionery, grain, and rice feel! This is the second brand that has really caught my attention after "Akagisan," and I am very happy with it. It is a bit pricey, but I would like to try the sake made from the original sake yeast if I see it 😌.

☆☆☆☆☆ I would love to drink the whisky Takezuru, but the sake Takezuru. This is probably my first time. Unlike the aroma, the taste is strong and robust. But it is surprisingly easy to drink. It smells a little like alcohol, but it is delicious.

Today in Osaka City, the daytime temperature is 28 degrees Celsius. I already had two drinks and feel good. Oops! Hiroshima sake! I strolled over to the front of the tent and offered him a glass. "Aah! Yes, it was... This was heated sake... Not in the shade. Direct sunlight. It's served under the sun. It's double hot. First of all, the aroma is heavy. But when you put it in your mouth, you will feel refreshed. It's mysterious! I know it's an exaggeration, but it refreshes your mouth like mint. I had it with Agu pork croquettes. The sake just washes it all down. This was only the second time in my life I've had heated sake~! It was hot and hot! We're going to win for sure...Carp!

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! It was surprisingly hot yesterday. I felt sorry for the heated sake store! This was the second time heated sake in the future that I will remember, lol.

It seems to be raw for the first of the year. Is it raw and aged? It's pretty mature; it's 24 years old, but it's fast. Sour and bitter, but not so sweet? But is it balanced? The alcohol is also quite strong. 12/20

crane (any bird of the family Gruidae, esp. the red-crowned crane, Grus japonensis) While known as the only all pure rice brewery in Hiroshima Prefecture, it is also famous as the birthplace of Nikka Whiskey's founder, Masataka Taketsuru. The origin of the name "Taketsuru" dates back to before 1600, when the Battle of Sekigahara took place. When the head of the brewery saw cranes nesting in the bamboo thicket behind the brewery, he rejoiced and changed his family name to "Chikutsuru" (meaning "crane in a pine tree").

It is quite high, though, at 19% alcohol by volume, But once you start drinking it, you'll find yourself drinking more and more! The acidity is very effective, and the flavor spreads very well when it is heated up. It is best when paired with hot pot.

◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. We had this one hot, and it was quite tasty, especially with today's flowery cold weather. It seemed more acidic than the Omachi Junmai Nigori from Taketsuru.

◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. This was my first time to try nigori hot sake, but it was quite tasty with moderate acidity. I paired it with Hiroshima okonomiyaki, and it seemed to go well with it. Highly recommended!

☆4.0 Bitterness and sweetness with a hint of bitterness from a crisp mouthfeel. It has a mild Nada Otoko sake-like flavor. It is a sake that makes you drink without making you feel the alcohol content of 20 I want to know what people think of it.

I bought it again this year! Tangy and spicy right after opening the bottle, Mmmmmm. After the second day, it is not spicy but has a nice umami flavor. I knew I should have bought a bottle, I always regret it later, Next year I will buy a bottle, if I can remember to do so. And..., Today's beer, SUNTORY's Kinmugi. It's spring, though the cherry blossoms are not yet in full bloom, It is moderately hoppy, Is it too dry? It is a beer that I could drink in one gulp, I won't. Last year's forecast predicted that the weather would warm up rapidly after February, But it has been colder than usual since February, I'm so excited for spring!

Takekizuru Nama Sake 🎍. The first saké was served cold 🍶. The aroma is slightly sweet. The first sip is full of powerful Omachi sweetness and umami! It finishes with a slight bitterness. It was a bit hard because it was just opened, but after a few days, it might be a bit sweeter. Or maybe I should warm it up 🤔. It was quite tasty ✨🍶. Postscript I tried it warmed up and the aroma of the warmed up sake was the best. The taste was quite good with a slight acidity and the astringency disappeared 😊.

Hi Matsuchiyosan! I heard that this has a sake strength of +12.5 😳I drank the first Shibori of Taketsuru a while ago and I liked it a lot because I felt sweet and fruity even though it was a dry spec 😋.

Good evening, bouken! I think many of the unaged sake from breweries that sell aged sake are easy to drink and delicious 😋.
