Shochikubai

Takara Shuzo Kyoto

Banana Fruity Sweetness Flamboyant Hot Temperature Crisp Chilled Glue-like

Clean and easy to drink. It is not sweet but not bitter, and has a well-balanced mellowness.

Japanese>English

I'm very curious 🥃 Sake. Shochikuubai Subaru: Fruity aroma and fresh mouthfeel. It is a freshly stored sake with an optimal balance and high aroma created by our original yeast! The fresh shikagami sensation brings a clean, clean mouthfeel and freshly squeezed flavor. It has a slightly sweet but clean and elegant taste, similar to a white wine.

Japanese>English

I think it's a cheap category at about $1,000, but it was pretty easy to drink.

Nagano

Banana Ramune

Purchased at Hankyu Umeda Main Store, 9th Traveling SAKE The cover of the flyer of this event Kuroemon 16th Generation Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki The brewer explained to us that the real flavor comes out around summer. I couldn't wait until the real flavor comes out 😅 I couldn't wait to buy it because I felt it was spicier than it was delicious. Jyugodai Kuroemon Junmai Hitogokochi I tasted this one and liked it, so I bought it. The aroma is soft and sweet. It has a soft sweet aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it tastes sweet and bitter like a syrup. The aftertaste is clean and well balanced with the acidity. On the second day, the sweetness and umami are felt more than the bitterness, and it is a delicious sake that can be drunk smoothly.

Japanese>English

The tangy sweetness is almost addictive. It was a delicious sake from Nagano.

Japanese>English

From hot sake to cold sake and summer muddy sake, you will never get tired of its aroma.

Floral Banana Apple Nectar CherryBlossom Sweetness Acidity Wine

Tasted at "YOMOYAMA NAGANO 2024 in TOKYO". This sake really tastes and smells like bananas.

Japanese>English

This sake is made with carnation flower yeast. This is a convenient item to drink for the reason of Mother's Day! I'll buy it myself and have my kids pass it on to my wife 😆. The aroma of carnation is not ....... I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a bottle for my mother, but it has a nice flavor and is soft and comfortable without being too heavy. I had to work the next day, but we drank it together. Thank you very much for the food 😄.

Wakagoma

Wakakoma Shuzo Tochigi

Banana Juicy Muscat Fruity Umami Bitterness Acidity Sharp

Comparison of 3 kinds of Wakakoma Not sweet, but not extremely dry either. It has a sharp and clean aftertaste. There was a taste I recognized, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Later, I read in the description that the sweetness and sourness of Aizan can be felt, so maybe it is a taste of Aizan.

Japanese>English

Comparison of 3 kinds of Wakakoma It's light and easy to drink, but it leaves more aftertaste than the pink one. I think I like this one the best out of the three.

Japanese>English

Comparison of 3 types of Wakakoma Quite dry. Dry! Sake! It's like sake! But it has umami? But it has a delicious dry taste! A little beer-like aftertaste?

Atagonomatsu

Niizawa Jozoten Miyagi

Banana Acidity Strawberry Sweet and Sour Invigorating Fizzy Crisp Sweetness

Junmai Ginjo Hitotsubatsu no Koi The season of Natsukoi has come again this year! This is a summer sake from the Shinzawa Brewery!　It tastes a bit sweeter and cooler than usual. It is the ultimate food sake, leaving only the impression that it is delicious without any alcohol taste or habit. Or maybe I am just in love with this sake.

Japanese>English

The sake rice is Hitomebore, and the name Hitonatsu no Koi is interesting. The taste is sharp and crisp, and you can enjoy the story while imagining how it is a love that makes you yearn for a flower of high peak. Serve with dashimaki (Japanese soup stock rolls) as a side dish.

Japanese>English

The milk from Jersey cows must be so rich that it even smells slightly like natural cheese. However, it is not as strong as the yogurt sake from the Matsui Sake Brewery in Kyoto, which we previously reported on, and can be poured easily (laugh). The alcohol content is only 5%, so it is light and easy to drink. It was a delicious alcoholic drinkable yogurt. I accidentally let the expiration date pass, so I pulled it out and am drinking it now ^_^;.
