June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drinking sake. The last and seventh drink of the day was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori. It is a mellow, sweet and delicious sake, easy to drink easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. It is easy to drink without feeling alcohol content. It was delicious with grilled sea eel and I enjoyed it with grilled sea eel and tanzaku yam.

I worked hard, so I opened a bottle of Snoclet followed by this one. Sweet, good, a little sourness, bitterness, and a bit of gusto there. Awesome ‼️ I like it better than Snoclet. I'm honored Chrysanthemum, I'll keep chasing it, even if it costs more for shipping: ‼️

Japanese>English

When the bottle is opened, bam! As expected...it's a fresh and fruity aroma...and the mouthfeel is fresh, sweet, and bitter...with a hint of sourness. I'm sipping it with seared sea bream, sea bream, and seared Spanish mackerel as snacks...a little...sweet...but delicious...(^^)

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This year I got the 33rd batch of Jr. Aizan, which I failed to buy last year 😀 The Banshu Aizan is polished to 33 and is a luxury product. The aroma is gorgeous, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the nose is refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet and delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had the Jr. Series Juicy Dry 🙌. The aroma is mild, and when you put it in your mouth it changes from delicious to slightly dry and then disappears quickly. Kudokukidake has a strong umami taste to it, so this dry taste was fresh and tasty 😀.

Japanese>English

(**Ohmami*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had Kudoki-jote 😀 The aroma is slightly fresh muscat 🤔The drink is completely different from the previous Kudoku Ute 😙It's not a strong sweet and tasty sake but a refreshingly juicy and acidic sake 😚Jr. It was like a change of pace for Jr.

A lightly nigori, lightly sparkling sake made from black koji. It claims to be an "aperitif". But when you open the bottle, it has a good acidity. It can also be used as an aperitif. As the day goes by As the day goes on, it becomes more mellow and sweet.

Japanese>English

The first time I drank it, it didn't make much of an impact, but as I drank it, it became more flavorful and robust... so good!

Japanese>English

The second drink was a Mutsu Hachisen Midori label‼️. Is this the one Manachi was drinking? A slightly different one? I'm not sure 😆. Well, I only remember that this one tastes just as good 😋🤣.

White peaches, strawberry gum, and a nice smell of sake lees on the sales floor. I have a feeling it's already delicious. Juicy syrup with a fruity taste, sweet sourness runs when you try to swallow. Once the taste fades, there is a slight effervescence, a light but not persistent sweetness, and a numbing sensation at the back of the tongue. Occasional bitterness. Overall, it is an elegant sweet sake with a sense of transparency. It is better to drink it in small sips rather than gulping it down.

Japanese>English

Smells of peach, sake lees, and cream. Slightly effervescent, with a tangy, popping acidity, a slight sweetness and bitterness, it has a unique flavor and is clear to drink. It is a dangerous drink that can be drunk like water, as if the tongue becomes numb. My legs are dizzy. Delicious.

The aroma is subtle, the mouthfeel is mellow and umami...with a sweet aftertaste and just the right amount of sweet and sour...enjoy the rich rice flavor...no wonder it's so popular...it's delicious...I didn't want to keep it for the next day, so I drank it all with my wife...pike conger eel! Tempura and raw bonito...we had a little bit of each!

Japanese>English

The cork "popped" when I opened the bottle, but not enough to blow out, It was a relief that it didn't blow out. It was slightly effervescent and refreshingly sweet, The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees, It is very easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Thin aroma of green apple peel. Strong effervescence, slight wooden barrels, rice flavor, a hint of acidity that seems to disappear. The level is high. When drinking it again, there is a bitter taste in the mouth. The second day. The bubbles become finer and the acidity and sweetness expand. It looks like Shinsei. The first day was also like Shinsei.

It has a melon feel, Fruity aroma though, yet it has a very mild sweetness. It is possible only by polishing rice, The taste is delicate and clean. The sake rice is Yamada-Nishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 35%.

Transparent sweetness, The silky smooth mouthfeel. This is the best of the series. It is a very expensive limited edition sake, I am very satisfied with it.

24% rice polishing... It's too polished! A gift from a luxury sake instructor. It's sweet to drink and has no miscellaneous flavors at all! It's not a wine to drink while eating, but rather to enjoy as it is. It's so good!

Smells like pineapple. It is delicious. The juiciness, bitterness, and robust umami, the pineapple-like acidity and flavor, the refined sugary sweetness, and the rice flavor that reminds you that sake is made from rice are all present in the final stages, with the bitterness spreading and lingering for a long time. The bitterness accumulates. This is the kind of food that makes a good meal, and when you eat a meal with it, the meal is good!

Japanese>English

After having enjoyed Omachi Jungin before, this time I tried Rikuwada Junmai Nama, and when I opened the bottle, the fruity aroma...sweetness, good bitterness in the aftertaste...well balanced...it's just great! No bitterness at all....delicious 😋...rather than a food sake 🍶, you can sip this sake 🍶 as it is...with the usual "tuna kamatoro" from my dad's place.... I'm enjoying it...

Japanese>English

Thin rose-like smell, apple as the temperature rises. It is thick. There is a sense of sweetness and rice that is not too assertive. When you try to swallow it, you feel as if the taste has disappeared, and then there is a bitter taste on your tongue. I don't know what it is, but it makes my meal go further than usual. It is delicious! Drinking this makes me eat a lot of food 🥗🍣. Day 3. Strong smell of floral blue fruits and a little bit of alcohol. It is thick and sweet, with less bitterness and umami. It has a nice aftertaste and you will not get tired of drinking it.
