At home. It is still delicious. The sweetness of the rice can be felt in this sake, and that sweetness is elegant. The taste through the nose is fruity and has a gorgeous impression. It is an excellent choice.

Japanese>English

Smells like rum and cider. Juicy, kudzu flavor, not overpowering, good! The pineapple-like sweetness gives way to a slight effervescence, then a sourness, then a rice flavor, then a slight bitterness, and then a sharp finish. This is good.

Ψ(∇)Ψ🍶🍶🍶🍶 Happy New Year! I'm very happy to be here. I bought it in the summer, but I opened a bottle because it was New Year's Day now. The aroma is not gentle but the flavor is gorgeous in the mouth. This year, I'm aiming to drink sake from all 47 prefectures.

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

Japanese>English

This year's version is delicious too!

Japanese>English

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)

At my parents' house. Ottersai, which my father had bought as New Year's sake. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

Tomin frozen at Nakamachidai.... It's still thawing and the ice is still puffy...it's so good😋I also thawed some hibernation oysters and had them as a snack...they were so plump! I'm impressed by the recent quick freezing technology. This sake is worth a try.

Japanese>English

The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and bitter, then sharp! The balance of sweetness and bitterness is exquisite. I've been drinking it with handmade spring rolls for a while now.

At my usual izakaya....compare the Hana-Hiyo-Yu drinking.......I'd have to say Pineapple......hard to say which one is better......Hachitan-Nishiki......the pride of Saitama people......Hana-Hiyo-Yu delicious....

Japanese>English

Smell of pineapple Slightly ripe pineapple flavor with a hint of pineapple candy, sweet and clean, with good flavor on the palate, a bit of bitterness on the finish, and a nice sharpness. Delicious. When the temperature rises, the sweet rice flavor and alcohol taste. It is better to cool it down.

Japanese>English

Today, we had a party with my family... and I opened a bottle of Hanahayo... and poured only the top clear liquid into the glass... it is a light amber color, pineapple aroma... and the taste is sweet and delicious... I guess it has a good balance... when you drink it with a little bitterness... it is even more delicious... .......even more delicious......in my opinion, it is a "Winner🏅♪"! We had a delicious party with my favorite sake and horse sashimi....

At home. Long time no see Wakayama Sake Kido. Summer Sake Kid has a sharp and crisp taste with a refreshing aftertaste that makes it easy to drink. If you let it sit for a while, you can taste the sweetness and acidity, and it becomes more flavorful. ‼️ I want to drink it slowly and savor it so that it does not go down too smoothly. ‼️

Japanese>English

April 3, 2024 Evening drinking at home. The second bottle was a bottle of Kido Junmai Ginjo-shu Haru no Kaorufu. The second bottle was Kido Junmai Ginjo-shu Haru no Kaorufu. Unlike the first bottle of Sengoku, there was no lees or gas. It is fresh and fruity, but a bit classic. It is fresh and fruity, but has an impression of being more classic. It is soft, sweet and delicious. It is a soft, sweet and delicious spring sake with excellent cost performance. It is an excellent value-for-money spring sake. It is a beautiful sake to pair with inu no tongu sashimi, fatty horse mackerel sashimi, and hand-rolled sushi. and hand-rolled sushi. and hand-rolled sushi.

Mujyozan is the highest series of Kido. It has a fresh sweetness and and refreshing taste. The good balance is as expected. It is easy to match with both meat and fish dishes.

At home. At the beginning of drinking, I felt that it had a strong alcohol feeling, but as it progressed to two or three glasses, it changed to a milder taste. The aftertaste is refreshing and light, and it is a versatile sake that can be paired with any food.

Japanese>English

Fresh sake with a gorgeous spring breeze 🍶. It is a sake that has a sharpness in addition to the flavor of rice. Tempura of spring vegetables as a side dish.

Japanese>English

A gift from a relative. It's been a long time since I drank koryu and I don't buy daiginjo by myself so it's good😄. It's a little bit luxurious from the stopper😁. It has a fresh and fruity aroma and the attack is rather dry and watery. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great beer. The taste is as refined as you would expect and does not interfere with the taste of the meal. The official website recommends sashimi of white fish and steamed clams, but it fits the image exactly👍.

The smell of carbonation and freshly cut apples is promising. It has a fizziness, soft pear juice, juicy flavor, and a delicious sweetness that is not overpowering. The taste is moderate, with a hint of sourness and bitterness, with a hint of a bitterness in the back. You can drink this as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Sweet and thick. It is juicy and delicious. High spec sake made from 29% rice called So-no-Mai 😳. It should be delicious. Silver lining, a ray of hope, or just a hint of anxiety? Great naming sense 😆.

Japanese>English

Refreshing and juicy. It has a delicious gassy taste, so I chilled it to a crisp and tasted it in a wine glass (#^. ^#)

Aroma: Fresh and clean, with a hint of citrus? Sweet and tasty, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste...sharp! Good as a food sake 🍶...but like last time, personally, it is not my favorite sake 🍶I would like to try other specs of Tobiroki...

Japanese>English

Mild ginjo aroma. It is suitable for sipping. It is also suitable as a sake for eating. Of course, it can also be used by itself. It is an all-purpose type.

Japanese>English

Has it been a little while? Tobiroki that was sleeping in the fridge! Opening the bottle♪ Refreshing citrus aroma, strong bitter sweetness and bitterness from the first sip. .... Hmmm! Unlike the sake I had imagined, it is dry? Is this the kind of sake it is? Is it light and dry? I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🍶... Personally, I'm not a fan of it...

I heard a voice actor say that the sake of Yamaguchi Prefecture is delicious ottersai, but Toyo Bijin! So I bought it. It's very dry, and the first sip is so spicy that it's hard to believe, but the aftertaste disappears quickly. Yes, it is indeed delicious. I want to drink the other ones too. This is good. I also got some sake for the new year, but I'll post more about that in the New Year.

Japanese>English

I'm not going to let anything stop me. Lightly crisp, fruity, sweet and sour aroma. Melon Horseback or Pear Because it is origari, it is light white. The aftertaste is moderately sour and refreshing. It is easy to drink and is perfect for when you want to lift your spirits.

Japanese>English

This is my first Toyo Bijin. I had drunk Yachiyo Shuzo's Room twice and wondered what kind of Toyo Bijin was in its class, but I happened to find it at a store I had been visiting for a while, so I bought it on the spur of the moment! The standing aroma is tropical and a bit gorgeous with pineapple and melon fruits. Is this the sweetness of Oriental Beauty? The sweetness is firm but moist and not stinging! There is also an impression of peach in addition to the fruits mentioned earlier. It is sweet, but not unpleasantly so, and has a very elegant bitterness, so it can be paired with appetizers, such as salads and cheese. This is the taste of Miyamanishiki of Hanahayo and Junodai of Hachitanishiki, right? This is delicious! Speaking of fruity sweet sake without any corners, Ding was great, but Toyo Bijin is also great!

The first sip of the rice is sweet, but the sweetness of the rice The sweetness of the rice is felt firmly, but it cuts through easily. but it wears off quickly and easily. It is a very refreshing and easy to drink sake. The sake rice is Yamadaho, the mother variety of Yamadanishiki. Polishing ratio is 55%.

Japanese>English

It has a deep and delicious taste of rice. It has a good crispness to it. I can't get enough of it. I knew it. Smoked food.

It is a well-balanced sake with a mellow, fresh aroma matched by the freshness of new sake. Accompanied by sashimi of flatfish
