Refreshing, fruity and easy to drink. I drank it at room temperature, but it seems to go in more like water when it's cold.

Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!

Easy to drink. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Shizuoka Sake Tour. Gotemba's Kinmei Ryotama Junmai Ginjo, alc.16%. When served in the refrigerator, it has a subtle cider-like aroma. The aroma does not change much in the mouth, and after the alcohol and weak acidity, the umami of rice comes easily. The aftertaste is stimulated by alcohol, but it is not an unpleasant attack, but rather a strange numbing sensation and heat. There is no significant change even when the temperature is set to room temperature. Should we wait a few days? Two days later, the alcoholic stimulation has disappeared, and the umami of the rice has become noticeably mellower. The aroma is still cider-like, so the overall impression is that it is a cross between sake and mead. This is good.

Open the bottle❗️ Huh?　You're not well. There's a warning on the bottle, but... I poured it into a glass, but no bubbles came out. The taste isn't bad, but it's a bit bitter. The taste isn't bad, but it's a little bitter. This is... What's wrong with Kitajima Shuzo❗️?

It was sweet and delicious☺. I could drink it in one gulp 💕.

Japanese>English

Cold. Purchased at Fukuda Sake Brewery. I bought a lot of it, so I drank it all at once to reduce the amount. It is a sparkling type, not too sweet, not too spicy, and easy to drink, but it has 14% alcohol content. I am not a fan of carbonation, so the carbonation was stronger than I expected, and it hurt my nose. I think I prefer Nagasaki Bijin if they are made by the same brewer.

Japanese>English

Crystal silver coloration. Melon, apple, etc., ethyl caproate. Ueshin powder, white dumplings, lime. Elegant sweetness, acidity is smooth, full-bodied and pleasantly bitter. While it has a sweet aroma, it is relatively dry and clean as a taste. Personally, I quite like the taste.

Takatsugawa is an everyday sake from Shimane's Fusozuru. Full-bodied and full of flavor when cold. Warmed up, it is a warm and mild sake. It goes well with solid everyday dishes and can also be drunk with oshiruko (soup stock). It is a soft, matured sake with a low price, and I love its mellow, umami taste.

Japanese>English

Suddenly my tooth was not feeling well and I had to go to the dentist in a hurry. This time there was no anesthesia and no pain, so I went to an event at the Hanshin Department Store that was being held. I bought my favorite Japanese sweets at the event and drank sake to go with them. The wagashi I chose was an easy-to-eat warabimochi. The kinako (soybean flour) was done to a strong flavor and was not too sweet. I had the sake I chose heated. The sake is aged for 2 to 3 years before being bottled at the best drinking time, so the hot sake had a delicious flavor that enhanced the caramel and nutty taste. When I saw the aged color, I thought it wouldn't go well with warabimochi (rice cakes), but it went well with kinako (soybean flour) and was delicious.

The last of the four rounds of the Sanin Sake Heated Sake Tasting. Takatsugawa" junmai sake from the Fusozuru brewery. We ordered this sake last season because it was commented on the website of Kotobukiya in Atsugi as a "hidden gem for home drinking. It is a junmai sake with 70% polished rice. Good coloring👍

Unusual, I don't think I've ever had a back Ura shinigami, the image of shinigami is usually dry, but it has a mellow feeling that only Jun Dai can give, But Shujin is still Shujin!

Japanese>English

The aroma is so fruity that you would never guess from the horrible label. The flavor also has a core and is quite sweet and delicious. I would like to actively procure this kind of local sake as a small pleasure during business trips! Sake-challenged wife: I see. The sweetness rounded out and became even tastier. This sake comes into its own a few days after opening the bottle! Liker Rank: 7 points/10 points

At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

At a tavern in Wakayama City called "Sakaya no Sakeba". Simple, mild and easy to drink.

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival 10] I'm on my 10th cup of sake 😁. I was looking for my favorite "Hakugakusen" and found that it was only available on the first day of the event, so I went here instead 🍶. Unnoi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo. Banana-like aroma, gentle sweetness on the palate, and a lingering mild umami aftertaste. I have a connection with "Kumonoi" since I brought it to the Kansai Sake-no-Iwa offline meeting I attended last summer, and it is still delicious when I drink it again.

Japanese>English

This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift last year. I've been accumulating a stock of sake, so I decided to drink it slowly. It's a rare opportunity to see a bottle of sake in a tobin enclosure! It makes my heart dance ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell a slight ginjo aroma. It is almost scentless. The mouthfeel is very clean, but the soft, milky sake quality and subtle sweetness of the rice gradually covers the tongue! The spiciness and the strength of 16% alcohol can be felt in the latter half of the bottle, but the overall flavor is moderate. I think I have not had such a clear sake since I drank the highest quality sake of "Akagisan" (12,000 yen for 720ml)! It is as pure as a gentle breeze. It quietly accompanies you from the beginning to the end. The taste is the very embodiment of "elegance. It is a good bottle to drink by itself or to enjoy as a food wine! Enjoy it carefully over the course of the day👍.

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.
