A tingling, gassy sensation. Sweet and fruity aroma, though the alcohol note is slightly pronounced. Moderate sweetness and acidity. Umami and pronounced bitterness linger. A clean sweetness makes it easy to drink glass after glass. ★4/5
No photo The fickle one who prioritizes drinking above all else This might do No bitterness or sourness No sharp edges Yet sweet and savory Juiciness unnecessary
Good evening, everyone😊 Are you all back to your normal routines yet?❓️ I only got one or two days off myself😓 Anyway, since it's the New Year, I thought I'd pop my head in for dinner. So I stopped by an izakaya alone after work😊 But man, it's cold~ They say this weekend (the 10th) will be even colder... Sigh😓
Why not dinner at home...? Well, my wife was hospitalized on the 5th 😭. Because of infection control measures, I can't visit her, and going home to cook felt like a hassle, so eating out it is 😅. By the way, she's hospitalized with pneumonia 😢. Now, about the sake – it's sweet and delicious when you drink it, finishing with a slight bitterness to round it out 😊.
It's been a while since I had the Masamune sake, but it's still delicious, as expected 😁
Good evening, Kano. Oh no! Is your wife okay in the hospital? 😥 I'm praying for her speedy recovery. 🙏 I know you must be worried, but please try not to overdo it with the drinks. 💧
Aladdin, hello😊 Thank you for your comment😊 And thank you for your concern😃 I'm told I'll be able to get discharged this weekend☺️ I'm feeling pretty excited about it😊
The second glass was a Sake Mirai by Masamune Instrument, which I reviewed last year when I thought I hadn't had it yet 🤣.
Fruity aroma like pear, soft mouthfeel. You can feel a hint of gas on the tip of the tongue. It has a light, gentle sweetness with a delicious flavor. The acidity is mild and naturally tight.
Compared to last year's review, my impression is very different 🤣.
But my favorite instrument Masamune is light delicate sweet umami, so I didn't feel that this time 🤔.
Hello ichiro18! ✨ Is this your first visit to the Nakameguro store this year? 😆 I've been wanting to go too, so thanks for the signboard photo! 🙏✨ Lots of brands from Tohoku and Hokuriku, huh? 😋 Gakki Masamune is always easy to drink and has such cute labels—it always catches my eye! 🍶
Pinoko-san, good evening 😃 It was my first time this year ✨ I saw the menu on Instagram and my feet just started moving 🤣 I always get the impression Fukushima is popular 🤔 Gakki Masamune is reasonably priced and delicious—it's the kind of brand that makes you want to drink ✨
Thank you for your continued support this year 🙇 I've been slacking off a lot 💦.

Delicious... warmed to lukewarm.
Drink up today
It was really good all the way through.
Sweetness, slight acidity, good sharpness.
Good aroma. It was a great sake.
Let's work hard tomorrow.
Gakki Masamune Bessen Nakatori Special Honjozo
The aroma is mild brewing aroma.
The taste has a fruity sweetness and a slight carbonation, but the aftertaste is clean and crisp. There is a slight bitterness.
It might go well with heated sake.
Let's give it a try.
