Furisode I got as a souvenir from Kyoto.
It was originally in a sake bottle, and it's funny how it has an aura of wanting to be heated up!
First, drink it as it is without warming it up.
It's a refreshing sake with umami flavor.
Well-balanced and can be easily enjoyed on its own.
It is gentle and delicious!
Next, microwave it for 40 seconds to warm it up to lukewarm.
The sweetness comes out more and the gentleness is increased.
Then, microwave it for 30 seconds to warm it up.
It became dry taste at once.
But the umami flavor is still there.
Hot sake is so good!
Autumn Drops has a heavy aroma, a far cry from Spring Drops and Summer Drops. It has a rich amino acid taste with moderate acidity. It is not sweet, but has a sharp aftertaste. It is a very drinkable sake that can be savored well.

It was a gift from my mother. She ordered it from the Coop.
The appearance is crystal. When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft and gentle sweetness, and the acidity comes out without time for hoppiness and it goes down your throat. If you warm it up to lukewarm, it becomes even more mellow and delicious.
It went well with daikon radish steak.
The last bottle of the summer sake series.
Like the Haru-titrip, this sake is light and very refreshing. It's so easy to drink 💦 I'll buy the Autumn Drops as well!

It's still a spring drink😅.
Like the Kyono-Fuyu-drop I drank before, it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma. It is quite sweet, like a clear sweet sake. However, it is not sticky and persistent, and very easy to drink.

Good evening, pyonpyon!
Now you are going to Tokyo 😳‼️ you have been to many places 😆👍Dojo looks delicious ❣️ we don't have it here so I would like to taste it!
A little (a lot?) I drank alcohol before.
It has a gorgeous ginjo-like aroma and a gentle mouthfeel. It has a light, refreshing sweetness with no cloying taste.
You can drink it as much as you want.

Instantly a wash of different aromas: rice, stewed apple, a hint of pear, grapes, honey and wildflowers, a hint of pickles. They all come and go at the same time.
Very light and clean on the palate. Rice and soy, pickled vegetables. Good umami gives a dry end to the palate and a short finish.
3.5/5 room temp
