9 points (Wife: 8.5 points)
Rice：Watabune No.2 from Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 15
Purchased from: Sakurumoto Shoten Honten (Chuo-ku, Sapporo)
When opened, the bottle is filled with a siphon.
Moderate gassiness
Slight grape yogurt-like finish
The same fruity aroma as at the top, soft but slightly stronger sweetness and rice flavor spreads with lactic acidity, leaving a soft, slightly bitter, fruity aroma and a lingering sweetness that quickly fades away.
The aroma and the sweet and sour taste are just like grapes, but it is also delicious on its own without feeling uncomfortable when served with a meal.
It goes well with Goya Chanpuru (bitter melon stir-fry) and Morokyu (bitter melon cucumber) made from the bitter melon grown in my parents' house in Kagawa.
Flower yeast, pink roses🌹.
Flower yeast... There are many kinds of yeast, but flower yeast
This was the first time.
Tokyo University of Agriculture is amazing✨
First time! Laughing Four Seasons and Tropical Sunset are now on tap 🎉.
I've always been interested in Laughing Four Seasons ☺️, there are so many different labels and so many posts on sakewa, I honestly didn't know which one to choose 😅.
But when I saw this one, I thought it must be sweet and easy to drink if it's tropical🏝️ from the naming, so I bought it❣️
If it's the first time it's a seasonal product, it might not be the same as the original Laughing Four Seasons... 🤣
Anyway, let's try it for the first time 🥂.
First of all, let's take a look at the appearance.
I thought the bottle was red, so I thought the contents would be red too, but it was only a red bottle!
When you take a sip, a slight sweetness spreads in your mouth.
From the middle of the mouth, you can feel the gasiness, the acidity and astringency of the sake, and the alcohol.
There is no sharpness, and the spiciness and alcohol taste remain in the mouth.
I see...
Tropical⁇
I imagined it would be sweet like a fruity mango 🥭, but it doesn't taste fruity at all💦.
Is it the sweetness of rice? Mild sweetness and gentle acidity from the sake.
Not sweet and sour juicy by any means 💧.
I knew I shouldn't imagine the taste from the name 😥.
It's rather pungent and has a strong alcohol taste, so it might not be my favorite type 🥺.
Tropical 🏝️ is...
HinaHanaMama-san🏝️ good morning 😃The label as well as the bottle are red❣️ I imagine sweet shaved ice🍧🧐I think I had a spicy impression of Shiki-san too lol. There are so many stylish series of labels ❣️ that I have trouble with💦.
Hina Hana Mama
Good morning 😘.
It's true that Laughing Four Seasons is not tropical 😅I have an image that it is characterized by citrus acidity 🍊There are different tastes in sake, but please enjoy different flavors 😘.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 🌞I imagine sweet and sour by its appearance and naming 💦 lol I heard Shiki-san is spicy from my colleague in Shiga, so I was scared to try it 😅 but it's fun to try 🥰I guess there is a sweet version too✨.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
I do think of mango or blood orange when I think of the bottle 😅I guess I was thinking of sunset 🤔 but it's nice to try a brand you've never had 👍.
Hi Pekho 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
The bottle is lovely and red😍I was imagining a tropical 🏝️, but it was a great betrayal 😅 lol Shiki, you are quite spicy and strong! It's difficult 💦.
Hi Kozou 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
The other day, Kozou-san drank a blue bottle of Laughing Four Seasons, so I tried the red one 😆 but it was alcoholic and spicy 💧Laughing Four Seasons is not sweet and sour and juicy 😅.
Hi Nao888 😃Thank you for your comment...
I see 🧐That's why Nao888 didn't touch it 🧐. That's a good answer ☝️ might not be in our strike zone 😅 maybe after a little more study 🥰.
Hi ichiro18 😃Thank you for your comment.
I thought I was sure from the label 😅but lol I got the taste of the four seasons, so I learned a lot ☺️ you have to experience it to know. ❣️
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
If you see the color and design of this bottle, it's definitely Tropical 🏝️ Fruitful Sweet and Juicy for sure 😅.
I also choose it based on the design and wording of the bottle, and sometimes I find that it's not what I imagined 🧐. Sometimes it's not what I imagined 😅.
Good evening, shinsaku3😄Thank you for your comment♪
I'm sure you're right! With this label, I would imagine a tropical 🏝️ taste 😆 I would welcome any betrayal that exceeds my expectations. This time, hmm 🤔...
I had been curious about the impact of the printed bottle since I saw it before 🍇I bought it when I heard that they had now released a raw version of the origami.
The aroma...I may be pulling it away, but it's grape!
When you take a sip, you can feel the chile chile micro-foam, and the sweetness of the grapes rushes in. It is not heavy with acidity.
Toward the end, the acidity intensifies, and it ends sharply.
The transparency of the wine seems to increase day by day. On the other hand, the fizz disappears rather quickly.
It has a clear mouthfeel with not much alcohol, and although there is some sweetness from the grapes, it is not too strong. It has a clear aftertaste and is easy to drink.
I was expecting a gaseous taste from the orikara flavor, so I tried mixing it with carbonated water, which may not be the way to go.
It's not too sweet, and since it's summer time, I can drink it with a clear, refreshing soda, which is also delicious.
Hi Kotaro 😃.
The only person who doesn't get pulled by the grape🍇 in this print is a martial artist🥋🧐kudaran😅.
In summer, you can enjoy it with soda or pour it over oyster ice 🍧🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
You're right 🤣If you don't have a spirit as strong as the grape family🥋, you'll get pulled in 🤣.
Shaved ice~! What a delicious idea ✨I'll try it next time I have some alcohol that could be used as syrup🎶.
There are white and black, and I chose the white one without hesitation because I was told that the white one is sweeter.
The aroma from the nose was fruity but not so strong and mild.
When you put it in your mouth, the fruity sweetness like a pear comes, but the sourness and spiciness spread at the same rate. The taste is strong but has a clean aftertaste.
The sake level is unknown. Personally, I thought it was about the same as the Kudo Ue Junmai Ginjo +/- 0 that I had at home.
The sweetness is about the same, but the Laughing Season is more acidic and sharp. It seems to be good as a food sake. Delicious.
