Umami Neat Fruity Crisp Balanced Sharp Bitterness Dry

It has a sweet rice aroma rather than a fruity one. Unlike the popular sake of today, it has a strong bitter sweet taste...mellow umami taste...you can feel the flavor of the rice...it's a Junmai with a strong presence...it's like a sake for the sake connoisseur.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had business in Toyama, so I bought it at Liquor Pocket Mizuhata by the way. It's a great way to start the day. I had it after a long time, but it is still good.

(♨어팀)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we opened a bottle of Murayu's Joban label 😀. The aroma is somewhat like muscat 😊The gentle sweetness spreads softly in the mouth, and is finished with a refreshing acidity 😚The sweetness is strong but well balanced with the acidity, making it easy to drink 😘This is a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 At Sakaishi Daigo (Part 15) I had my first bottle of Murasuke 😀. It's very sweet and delicious 🤤 but also very refreshing 🤔The acidity is well balanced😙It's delicious but it's nice to drink a sake that's not easily available😎.

Japanese>English

Murasuke after a long time. It has a sourness like the top of yogurt and a slight bitterness. It brought back the impression I had when I drank it for the first time several years ago. This lactic acid-like feeling is unique and unique to Murasuke, isn't it? It is very addictive. It is very delicious.

It tastes like a white wine. The balance of sweetness and firm acidity is exquisite. It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 14 degrees. It is a sake to be careful not to drink too much.

Japanese>English

The best way to do this is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a little rich series of Tenmei. It's a good one. It is a very good product.

Japanese>English

I was too lazy to open it and let it sit in the fridge for a year. It is delicious and I will take good care of it.

First time to drink Hokkaido sake outside 😭. And that's Kamikawa Taisetsu, I'm so impressed❗️. I've been to Hokkaido for a while now and I've never been to Hokkaido before. I want to go to Hokkaido in a while😍.

Japanese>English

Citrusy acidity with white malted rice. Light sweetness like white wine. It has a refreshing aftertaste. It is easy to pair with meals, especially fish. Sake rice is Ginpu from Hokkaido, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The alcohol content is a little light at 14 degrees Celsius.

Japanese>English

It is the first Kamikawa Taisetsu. I was attracted by the white koji and bought it. The aroma is of citrus and lactic acid, with some caramel. In the aftertaste, there is a touch of vinegar. So, of course, the sourness is dominant. There is also sweetness, but it is characterized by a sharp acidity. The aftertaste is also sour. The umami is mixed in there. Rather than being crisp, it is a very drinkable sake. It is surprising that it is low alcohol and white malt. It can be fully enjoyed alone.

I have been wanting to try "Morishima" for a long time. The aroma is sweet and fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet too... The finish is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness! Nice...delicious! It also goes well with food...Enjoyed a good time with the summer stamina "Hamo-ten" and "Edamame" from a local farmer....

Japanese>English

At home. I️haven't had Morishima for a long time, but this one has a sweetness and a slight sourness in the back of a gentle mouthfeel, and a clean aftertaste. It's always good to drink it.

Japanese>English

At home. Sake that you can't help but want to drink. I am thankful that the liquor store I always go to always has it. Tonight it was paired with chicken dishes. I think it is the best sake for any kind of food. I am already a captive of it.

Summer drinking is still in full swing! This time I got to try Manzaku no Hana no Snowman😋. The label is comforting⛄️and the contents are refreshing, sweet and crisp, different from the Umakara Manzaku I drank before😆. I had a hard time deciding between it and the other one at the store, but I'm glad I bought it👍. I gulped it down💦.

Japanese>English

(Holy shit! 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I've had the Manzaku no Hana Megurume for a while now, and I've been wondering why it doesn't have any aroma at all 🤔, but when I drank it, I found it to be well balanced with a hint of sweetness and a slight astringency. It's also a good idea to have a gentle sake 钎存米 series 🤤.

Japanese>English

Today we got our first Hinomaru Brewing mansaku flowers in a long time 😀. The aroma is mild, but even though it is fire-aged, it has a fresh feeling like a draft sake 😊It has a refreshing acidity 😋 It has a good sharpness, so it is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking 🥰. Mansaku no Hana is still a delicious sake 🥳.

At home. My first Kamo Nishikishu. Almost no aroma. Slightly carbonated and alcoholic in the mouth. It has acidity and umami, but the bitterness is strong at the end. I'll try to warm it up a little and see if the taste changes after tomorrow.

Japanese>English

It is undiluted but low alcohol. 13 degrees alcohol by volume. A moderate tingling of gas. The sweetness of the rice is refreshing and sharp. It goes well with nabe dishes.

(#´AKAKAKU`#)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first Kamo Kanehide 😋. The aroma is mild 🤔The mouthfeel is gaseous, with a beautiful umami and refreshing sweetness, and the finish is fresh and acidic to finish it off 😊. It was a delicious sake that made me want to drink more and more 🥳.

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I had my first Shichihonjari 😀. The aroma is fresh, but when you drink it, you can feel the umami of the rice first, and it is easy to drink with a calm freshness 😚 It is a delicious sake that can be served alone or with food 😊.

Japanese>English

This is one of my purchases from the Shiga expedition. I've been to the store in Omihachiman for the first time, but the selection was good and I got lost 😊The staff was kind and helpful. It's a fresh, full-bodied, moderately spicy, easy to drink, and has a unique flavor 😆. I'll be back soon.

At home. About 30 years ago, when I was in my first year of working, my senior took me to a sake party, and this was the first sake I tasted. Now it's sold in many different varieties, and I feel the times have changed. The taste is still the same, it is as easy to drink as water, and it is a delicious sake that reminds me of those days.

Niigata Sake 🍶. For the record

Japanese>English

The last of the Ohigan parties was the first Kamizenjosui in a long time. I had an image of a more Showa-esque sake, but to my surprise, it really looked like water. It went well with a wide range of foods such as sashimi and Costco high rollers. In other words, it doesn't get in the way. It made me rethink my opinion a little bit. I think I need to update my taste buds by choosing something that doesn't look like a local sake sometimes.

Popular local sake from Saitama 🍶It doesn't look like a Japanese sake 🍶! Aroma: Sour and sweet citrus 🍊? No...grape 🍊? The mouthfeel is rich, sweet and delicious with a strong acidity...I can feel the deliciousness of Omachi...it tastes like white wine? Sashimi, I'm having a little bit of Toyama firefly squid, which I hear is a good catch this year, as a side dish.

Japanese>English

Sake from my hometown in Saitama (Sai-no-kuni yori katari shiranai reishu) has become a major sake...sweet aroma, gorgeous and fruity...sweet on the palate! Rolling on the tongue, you can feel the umami of rice......and the aftertaste is smooth and clean. This will be very popular! I enjoyed it with chicken sashimi and roasted beef tongue 😊.

Aroma is fresh and sweet citrus 🍊The taste is fresh and tingling because it's fresh 😊Ummm fresh...sweet and tasty.... I'm taking it easy............................
