A faint, refreshing ginjo aroma. In the mouth, the delicious rice flavor and acidity spreads and is quickly cut off. The alcohol content is 15%, but you can drink it in rapid succession without feeling it. It was delicious.
Dry sake. It has a standing aroma reminiscent of green apples and pears, and a refreshing mouthfeel with a burst of carbon dioxide gas despite being a fire-brewed sake. The mellow flavor is hard to believe that it is a sake with a sake strength of +10.

It had a strong sweetness, but was also refreshing. After all, it changed to the point where it could be described as mild within a day of opening the bottle.
It came out of a company gathering with a difference from the store: ‼️😀
I thought it would be a sweet sake because of its color, but when I put it in my mouth, the sweetness is followed by a light mouthfeel and the acidity gives it a clean and sharp taste that makes the drink go down a treat. ⁉️
But the alcohol content is 15%, so if you drink it too much, it might hurt your legs.
A few people were hit by it ❗🤣.

Good morning Erin 👋😃☀️
Did everyone make it home safely?
I was 🚖 with a big ticket 🤣.
It was my first time drinking and I was impressed with the taste of sake that I still don't know about. 😀
Best day 🥦⁉️
Summer Sake Series (3)
This is my favorite fruity.
A very citrusy sweet acidity.
Malic acid and white malted rice.
It was delicious and easy to drink.
This store I often go to was celebrating its first anniversary!
I feel like asking for more great sake from now on. ☺️
I feel that this is what "light and refreshing" means.
Dry, refreshing taste, maybe the summery label is taking away from it.

This past week was a tough training week, as Jay had his checkup 🏥 on Friday and Nobby went out to filial piety🌹 for his mother from Friday, so we ended up not drinking for 6 days from Monday to Saturday😓. ☹️
We will meet again on Sunday and have a long awaited feast 🤗.
After looking at the fridge and trying to decide which one to try, we decided on this one, which has three young buds challenging the toji for a generational change: ‼️
It's a bottle of three buds aiming for the future👍.
I'll make love to you
I think it's easy to drink and medium-hot 🙂 The sweetness increases with each sip 🤔, but it's delicious without being dull 😋.
It's not enough for our taste buds to evaluate whether or not this is a success or not 😆.
By the way, I'm late to post this episode because I haven't had a drink in 6 days 😅.
We returned to Utsunomiya station from Mashiko and decided to go somewhere! My daughter's quick and efficient action is a big help at times like this 😄 We quickly found a restaurant and went in! The horse sashimi and yakitori were delicious 😚.
After leaving the restaurant, my son asked for Chinese food, so we went to a Chinese izakaya and drank Shaoxing sake for the first time in a while along with some snacks 😋.
Ahhh...! It was a day of walking a lot, eating a lot, and drinking a little!
It was fun 🥰.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃
Thank you for your 6 days of training without sake 😊I'm sure your body and mind have been deeply touched by the sake after a long time... 😌I'm looking forward to seeing the sake brewed by young people 😆I've never seen Mine-no-Hakubai before, so you should check it out: ☑️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's kind of comforting to know that J&N don't drink without the two of you together: ☺️
It's been a while since you and your wife have had a Niigata sake together, interesting that it goes from refreshing to sweet 🤔.
It's nice to drink with the family 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Six days of sobriety for both of you must have been quite an ordeal 💧.
It's great that you and your family have a relationship that allows you to drink together ✨.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Six days is a lot!
Sure, Chinese 🍜 after a meal is "eat well" 😄 but "drink a little" is cute and healthy, I need to learn from you!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀Tighten in Chinese, I don't hear that word very often 🧐 I guess I wouldn't know if it's ramen 🤣.
I drink Shaoxing wine while cooking in the kitchen, but it's good to drink sometimes 😋.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning â
Good job on your 6 days of sobriety even though you had a lot going on 😁It's nice to see you and your wife keep in step with your drinking 🥰Close with Chinese food! You seem to have a bottomless stomach 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I was worried about what happened to you since you haven't posted lately 🤣.
But unlike our family, I can feel the love between you and your wife when you say that you basically drink together😇.
Hi Rafa papa😃It's been a long 6 days.
It's been a long 6 days 🥲 and after a long time, a drink soaked into every nook and cranny 🥹.
We wanted to drink Mine-no-Hakubai, we didn't know it was Hishiko's brewery 😅.
Hi Aladdin 😃
I drink beer 🍺 but sake 🍶 is basically for two people 😊The atmosphere has changed from the entrance 🤔Maybe it will change even more after a day 😋I can't verify that 😆.
Hi Takashi 😃
I've been here for 6 days 😅 and I'm not even in the docs 🤗I'd say it was Chinese, but only as a snack for everyone to share 😆I drank a little beer and soju mixed in 😄.
Hi Manachy 😃
I'm sure you're right 🤔Fried rice, bean curd, stir-fried greens, etc. with rice wine 😅I haven't had rice wine in a while 🤗Thanks for the great meal!
Hi Yasbay 😃
Thank you for your concern 😌I had to endure my abstinence 😅we share a common hobby of sake 🍶I knew I wanted to taste it at home together 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
The pre-checkup is an annual ordeal 💦.
I've been on a drinking and planning spree for a while now and I'm trying to decide which one to open next 😁.
I was struck by the subtitle of the series "The Ultimate Challenge"!
Hi Jayve, good evening 😃.
It was actually another checkup for Jay after the doc was over 🥲Below! I don't know if you were able to ⁉️ we didn't drink the comparison in the first place 😆.
At Fukuno Tori in Bakuro Yokoyama.
This sake is made exclusively for the yakitori at FUKUNOTORI Izakaya.
It was fruity, easy to drink, and delicious!
It was so good that I drank all of it before the yakitori came. ......
But it was a good encounter.

On the last day of GW, we opened this bottle which was a gift for us sake lovers 😘 Today's snacks are steak, fried oysters, coleslaw and boiled fuki (Japanese butterbur).
Today's snacks were steak, fried oysters, coleslaw, and butterbur boiled down in a pot at Lopia since we didn't go anywhere during GW!
The aroma has an alcoholic smell and the first attack is very ricey, like the sake I used to drink in the past. Of course, it is not a bad one, but a tasty one! I'm comparing it to Isobojiman, but I think Isobojiman goes better with a meal. I'd like to try this one on its own 🥺.
