At first sip, ugh, it smells like sake (a compliment) and is very strong (also a compliment).
I would have definitely avoided this flavor when I was chasing after fruity liquors. But not now. Now that I am an adult (an old man), I can appreciate and enjoy this sake.
When I tried it heated to the hilt, you see, it changed. The sweetness and sourness of the rice gently oozed out and warmed my body. It's delicious, delicious. If you mix a little soda with the hot sake, it's a whole new dimension. In no time at all, two cups of sake were gone.
It also went well with oden and yellowtail tataki.
This is a white wine. It has a sweet and sour taste, mild on the palate, with an added juicy sweetness like grapes, and a light, sweet and sour taste with a subtle umami flavor.
It tastes like it is not a sake and goes well with both Japanese and Western food. It is easy to drink and very tasty.
It is clear and dry, but with a hint of sweetness and a strong aroma of rice on the top. Tama-Asahi! I like it. I like it.
I was too drunk and forgot to put the brand name. I'm sorry.

Tama-Asahi comparison 😆This one is a little bitter and mellow. The rice flavor and sweetness comes later. Better with ponzu dumplings than yuzu kosho 👍The labels are both nice ✨.

The alcohol taste comes with a thump.
The flavor of rice that comes crashing down after the
This is a great bottle that has both the honjozo and Tamahokyu characteristics, and is very quirky.
It goes surprisingly well with sweet sweets!

Rice feeling 🌾 sweet spicy fruity bitter. My wife says it has a sense of juice 🍊 saliva 🤤 Good with yuzu pepper dumplings🥟👍.
I went there for the first time when I found out that the place used to be a regular liquor store more than 10 years ago, but it was renovated and now also offers Kaku-uchi (corner drinking), and it was a beautiful and nice place with a wide variety of sake 🎉.

Following on from the last issue, this is a dam storage sake.
Last month, on my way back from the Joetsu 100k marathon, I returned via Toyama. At that time, I learned at a liquor store that each brewery in Toyama stored sake in the Kurobe Dam, so I bought some.
It is this color after about 2 years of aging. It is a delicious color. It has a slight sourness, a pleasant umami as you drink it, and a good sense of maturity. 👍
Of course, it was the best heated sake. 🍶😋😋😋😋
Good morning, NITO 🐥.
Good job on the 100km marathon 😳‼️ 💦Great sake activities on the way home 😆I see you are doing various breweries as well as Sakunohana 😳I'm not a fan of natural storage so I'm curious 😁.
Hi Bonnie, Hello...
I'm not sure if I'm going to the region to run a marathon or to have a drink. 😆 😆
It seems like more and more of them are being stored in dams where the temperature is more stable because of the recent hot days due to the extreme weather. 😋😋.
I was attracted by the limited edition and bought it.
I was intimidated by the 18% alcohol content, so I drank it on the rocks.
It seems to be a carbonated type, so there is a popping sound when the bottle is opened, but the fizzy feeling on the palate is not so great....
It has a medium tight mouthfeel, and since it is served on the rocks, it feels mellow. Almost no alcohol. Easy to drink, but you may not feel like you've had enough. Be careful not to drink too much!
