Invigorating Ramune Acidity Tropical Pineapple Milk Bitterness Reviving

fruity and refreshing delicious

Japanese>English

A colleague at work said that only nigori (cloudy) sake would win. I warned him that it was not the nigori-style sake that I like. It was slightly white. As the name "summer nigori" suggests, it has a refreshing acidity. It is easy to drink and has a gentle taste on the palate. My colleague said it was different from the muddiness he was expecting. However, they seriously learned that there is such a thing as this.

Summer liquor consumption! It's still hot, but now that it's September, we must cut back on summer liquor! This one seems to be early spring, not tamitsu! I couldn't buy it last year, so I got my wish 😆. The scent is rumney✨. Pleasant petit gas feeling 😊. Sweet at first, but a refreshing sourness spreads in the second half, making it easy to drink 😋. Finished the drink with flying colors! Excellent👍 This is one I want to drink again next year 😆. I had tsukemen for lunch for the first time in a while! It's been a while since I've had tsukemen (noodles) since I've ordered ramen even at restaurants that are famous for tsukemen 😋. I like the standard seafood type 🍜.

Shizengosawayaka

Ookidaikichi Honten Fukushima

The last bottle in the store, a four-pack for 1,160 yen, was served at room temperature. It has a subtle aroma of banana, a hint of carbonation, and a slowly subdued sweetness with an excellent sharpness at the end.

Japanese>English

I know - dry! But the sake-like quality is... less acidic? This is fine, less is more...! That's a nice change of pace!

Japanese>English

They only sell it locally. Buy it directly from the brewery! It's delicious, refreshing, sweet umami aroma, and sharp! If you like instruments, by all means! I should have bought the dry version too.

Invigorating Fruity Crisp Caramelized Refreshing Fresh Sweetness Umami

さわやか

I drank too much during the day (repentance). But that's OK! It's my day off! (Grand Prize for Remorse) Posting to commemorate the first cup of dry close. I felt a little fruitiness, but it was easy to drink (vague memory). I think I liked the Seikagami the best out of the many I drank, which I bought more at the end 🤔. By the way 🍶. The 4 people I met at the counter. I really appreciate you guys for being so fun and not getting bored 🙏. And a big thank you to the waitstaff who warmly and sometimes firmly(?) I'm also very grateful to the waitresses who looked after us 🙏.

Sake party at a nearby bar! We had about 24 bottles to drink as much as we could. I took note of all the varieties ✎. Gizaemon Gorgeous, fruity, not too sweet, not too spicy, somewhere in between? The aftertaste is a little bitter.

Heiwa Shuzo Wakayama

Fruity Invigorating Sweetness Acidity Umami Fizzy Steady Bitterness

. The wine has a fruity aroma with a moderate sweetness and a good mouthfeel 😋. The taste is refreshing and not tiring to drink, so it is sure to be useful in any situation.

Japanese>English

. It has been a while. I have been busy for a while and have not been able to upload any pictures. It has been a while since I have had Kido (Yamadanishiki, Junmai Daiginjo). It is gentle and refreshing on the palate, yet has a robust flavor that goes well with a variety of meals!

Japanese>English

Kido is my favorite sake. It's refreshing and not too sweet. Quick and clean. It was a little early for summer sake at this time of year, so I'd like to drink it again when the weather gets hotter.

夏ヤゴ

Izumibashi Shuzo Kanagawa

Fizzy Invigorating Acidity Umami Firm Yogurt Dry Light

This summer Yago Blue was so good that I went on a little expedition to look for pink Yago. We caught it and opened a bottle of this one. It has a fresh acidity like biting into a lime, and a crisp, clean flavor. When we paired it with marinated bonito and olive oil, the fresh aroma of the olives mingled pleasantly and we applauded. With an alcohol content of only 13%, it is perfect as a pre-dinner or mid-dinner drink. A great bottle to accompany you at the beginning of a sweaty summer. Delicious: ‼️

Japanese>English

When I find this label at a liquor store, I feel the beginning of early summer. I opened a bottle of Izumihashi Summer Yago Blue for my partner for a little luxurious lunchtime drinking. It is a junmai sake with a light and refreshing taste, but with a rich and delicious flavor that lingers on the tongue. I have been drinking it for the past few years, but isn't this year's sake delicious? Losing out to the heat during the day, I took a quick bite of kimchi with somen noodles as a chopstick rest. I was surprised at how well it went with the sourness of the kimchi. A bottle to my liking, feeling the beginning of the summer sake season. Delicious. ‼️

Ikegame

Ikekame Shuzo Fukuoka

Chilled Invigorating Shaoxing Wine Umami Flamboyant Dry Strawberry Crisp

Pond turtles are good. This is the first time to see this one, and it's also hot, so I thought raw would be good too, so I bought it. It has a very light and refreshing taste, but it has a very strong spiciness and a very strong umami taste. It has a lot of elements that make you want to drink it. It can also be heated. Some of the nama sake can be too strong, but this sake is light, so it goes well with it. I liked how the astringency came out well. Mr. Mitamura went to Arashiyama He was tasting a high Tanzan. He said it is only available at certain times of the year, but it's a great service!

I've been interested in Fukuoka sake lately and have been buying a lot of it. This is my first time in Ikegame🐢. First day of drinking The first aroma is sweet with a hint of sweetness. It is bitter in the mouth... 🥹. I can only taste a little bit of umami and sweetness behind the bitterness... 🥲. I decided to leave it for a few days anyway. On the third day, I drank it with trepidation and found that the bitterness that was so bitter had somehow disappeared. Was it because I was sick? 🤔 The first aroma is faintly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a light sweetness with umami flavor, and it goes down smoothly and cleanly. It was a delicious sake with a clean and clear taste for a low 75% rice polished sake. I would like to try Kurokabuto next, but I guess that is impossible in Tokyo.
