Dry

It is delicious lukewarm.

Japanese>English

I wanted a dry, dry drink. There are days when I'm in that mood. You might say don't choose raw, but I realized it after the sake bottle came. I enjoyed it with yudofu. It fits my mood today. When I think of dry, dry sake, I think of Niigata, Hiroshima, and Kochi. I admit to disagreeing.

Japanese>English

Junmai-like umami. It is dry and crisp, but there is sweetness in it. It is such a sake.

Hoken

Hoken Shuzo Hiroshima

Dry Sharp Umami Crisp Sweetness Bitterness Refreshing Firm

Alcohol content: 16 Hachitan Nishiki Rice polishing ratio: 60 The aroma is modest and unimpressive. Refreshing taste like green apple, slight acidity in the aftertaste, and clear as basic water. The dryness, suitable for a mealtime sake, was impressive.

Japanese>English

This sake has become synonymous with the name "Houken" as a dry sake from Hiroshima. It is said to be a junmai sake with just the right amount of acidity and a smooth umami taste, followed by a crisp cut. Sake rice is Hachitan-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima Prefecture, 60% polishing ratio, and yeast is undisclosed. It was served well chilled. It hit the last yama👍. At the beginning of the drink, the impression is very distinctly dry ✨and then there is sourness ✨. The tingling dryness is addictive 😆. As you continue drinking, you can gradually taste the umami of the rice, but the sharpness still has a strong impact ‼️You can drink it with anything as a mid-meal drink!

Japanese>English

Houken.......................................I couldn't read the label😆.... Hiroshima sake.... Together with Himechiku from Iwate... It was the manager's recommendation! As it approached room temperature, it became more smooth ☆.

Morohashi Shuzo Niigata

Dry Crisp Umami Room Temperature Silky Fresh Sweetness Sharp

Tochigi Prefectural Association Women's Association🌸5th drink Time flew by so fast! Last order........ We hurriedly ordered two kinds of sake 🍶. The first one was Keitora Tokubetsu Junmai Sake with famous water 🥂. Selected as one of the best water in Japan The spring water from Morinomori Forest is used as the brewing water. The rice is polished to 55% of junmai ginjo-style. Sake made with a long low-temperature fermentation process. Soft mouthfeel A hint of delicious rice flavor It finishes with a lingering, firm acidity. It is a very beautiful sake. I wish I could talk more... I wish I had more time to talk about it😅.

Japanese>English

It has a clear and light taste, but it also has a full and rounded flavor. Sake rice→Gohyakumangoku produced in Niigata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio→65 Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius Sake degree → +5 Acidity→1.3

Japanese>English

Dry but refreshingly watery sake. Personally, I find it a little lacking in flavor characteristics.

Kunimare Shuzo Hokkaido

Dry Crisp Umami Penetrating Sweetness Room Temperature Invigorating Light

for recording Obtained through the Co-op's joint purchase Souvenir store at Sapporo Station Repeat because I saw it! Delicious!

Japanese>English

Sake series brought back from Hokkaido, Part 2 Just opened. The aroma is of an orthodox, crisp, traditional sake yeast yeast. The acidity is sharp and the mellow rice flavor is full-bodied. The acidity quickly subsides, and the astringency and spiciness are felt later, giving it depth. No complaints. It is good on its own and with a good side dish. A good everyday sake. I want to drink it again.

Tsukasabotan

Tsukasabotan Shuzo Kochi

Dry Crisp Umami Fruity Sharp Acidity Sweetness Fresh

When you put it in your mouth, it goes down your throat smoothly. It has the aroma of Japanese sake. The bottle is cool, with English labeling.

Japanese>English

First time in about 5 years. It has a heavy umami taste, typical of Kochi Prefecture, with a tangy acidity in the aftertaste. The acidity is sharp and unpleasant on its own, but warming it up removes it and gives it a mellow, easy-to-drink feel. It is still delicious! (Although it is out of season, I would like to drink it with miso nabe (hot pot).

Japanese>English

@Benefactor It's still delicious. It's not too spicy or sharp for a Kochi sake, but has a mild umami flavor and a tangy Kaygetsu aftertaste. It has a mild umami and a tangy aftertaste like Kaygetsu. It has a mild umami taste that is a perfect match for me.

Kitanohana Shuzojo Fukushima

Dry Crisp Umami Soft Sharp Bitterness

I went to my first liquor store on my way to the park where we had gone the day before to pick up something my child had left behind. The selection was not bad, but they were selling shochu at a pre-purchase price, so I probably won't go there again ... . LOL! The first taste was slightly sweet and sour. The aftertaste is cut off by the alcohol. In addition, you can taste the umami of rice throughout. It is like an orthodox dry sake. Delicious, but nothing special....

Japanese>English

Of all the drinks I've been drinking lately. Quite fruity flavor Very gentle and sweet on the palate Clear with no cloying taste I think I'm going to finish this one as soon as possible!

Japanese>English

Even at the usual restaurant. As usual. Just like always Deliciously delicious...

Taiyo Shuzo Niigata

Dry Fizzy Fresh Umami Sharp Crisp Acidity Fruity

The nose is crisp and fruity, like early green apple 🍏. In the mouth, the fine particulate effervescence spreads quickly and pleasantly 😋. I like the freshness that spreads as the bubbles pop, and the complex sweetness with a clear and beautiful astringency 😋 ❗️ As indicated, the end of the bottle is crisp, dry and sharp, a great bottle that will raise the level of both Japanese and Western meals. ❗️ Delicious 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Dry, crisp, and good for a final drink.

Dry Umami Crisp Sharp Sweetness Acidity Firm Fruity

At a bar near the hotel on the second day of our trip to Sendai. It was sour, fruity, and delicious! Junmai-shu is a rare treat.

Japanese>English

Soft, white grape-like aroma Slightly effervescent The taste has a hint of sweetness, which is not unlike the light and dry image of Hidakami. It has a clean taste with umami, and goes well with food. The aftertaste is sharp.

Japanese>English

Fruity and easy to drink. It has a sweetness, but the umami flavor is strong and refreshing. A sake that goes perfectly with meals. Today, we served it with tuna and scallop sashimi 💮. Preferred degree:★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
