This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (2) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. It was my first time to try Hakonezan! This is the spiciest sake in the group. It is a dry ginjo-shu as you might imagine, but it is moderately rich and very good as a mid-meal drink. Of course, it goes well with ingredients as they are, but it also goes well with dishes that have been added, such as those using dashi (Japanese soup stock)!

Easy to drink and Swiss! It was delicious~!

Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (3) The last one is Masterpiecea by Laughing Four Seasons. Masterpiece is a sake with the theme of technical study and a retrospective and return to classic ginjo, I tasted it at last year's sake brewery tour and enjoyed it so much that I left without buying it, which I regretted a lot 💧. This year, I was determined to bring it back! This year, I decided to bring it back! Masterpiece has A (Yamadanishiki) and Un (Watabune), and I decided to bring back A this time. I decided to bring A back this time. The color is slightly greenish. The nose has aromas of white peach, pear, melon, muscat-like fruit, lily-like white flowers, bay leaves, and white dumplings. The moment you take a sip, you will be surprised by the smooth, flowing, luscious taste. The fruity, floral aroma has a clear, gentle, full-bodied sweet flavor, and the sweetness is supported by an elongated acidity. The taste is a slow, lingering sweetness, with a greenish bitterness that mingles in the latter half of the taste. The complex sweetness and acidity flow together gracefully and cohesively, just like the name Masterpiece 💕💕. I am glad to have had a chance to taste it again! I'll have to go back next year for the Tokaido sake brewery tour in spring! I'll have to go again next year for the Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in spring!

Aizu 3

Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

Japanese>English

I was strolling around Fukushima-related stores to buy a gift for Mother's Day and to commemorate the end of Golden Work! I found this handy cup of sake 👍. When I opened the bottle, it had a clean sweet aroma of sugar cane. The mouthfeel is smooth with a round sweetness that sinks in. The mild umami has a banana-like flavor. The pungent spiciness comes from the clear taste. It has an astringent aftertaste that comes around the time of swallowing and an easy-drinking quality that disappears without a hitch, giving it a clean, calm taste without heaviness or clinginess! It is a beautiful and calm taste with no heaviness or clinginess! Don't underestimate it as a cup of sake...! This pleasant cup of Aizu Sake was so easy to drink that it made me feel again the power of Aizu Sake 😋.

For the record📝. Dry. Banana-like aftertaste ☆7

Fizzy Yogurt Acidity Pineapple Milk Cheese Calpis Juice

Tono-Doburoku 1

Tono-Doburoku 3

I have always been curious about this sake. First, let's take a sip. Smells more like candy than fruit. Banana cake, lychee, yogurt, freshly baked pound cake, very ripe peaches. No sign of activity. Concentrated! Concentrated syrup. Tart on the tongue with a good sweetness, ripe fruit like pears, green apples, and some alcohol as when the fruit is quite ripe. Finishes with bitterness, acidity and sweetness and has a long finish. Good and amazing. Power. It's drinkable with a splash. Shake a few times to mix and drink. Rice, milky smell. The rice flavor, sweetness, and sourness of the rice spread out in a flash, and the doburoku, or doburoku, has a fruitiness that surrounds the main rice flavor, and the bitterness comes in and gives it a nice sharpness. The rice is almost completely melted, so it is smooth and refreshing. Delicious! A few days later, after shaking and mixing, it did not separate even after a few hours. The alcohol feeling gradually faded away, and when I drank it, I could feel the strong rice flavor spreading out, sweet and mellow, like a dessert. A delicious drink.

Japanese>English

There are several alcoholic beverages that have been neglected for almost a year since I bought them, and this is one of them. Let's open the bottle to see what it tastes like! It's so easy to drink! Doburoku is generally considered to be a rather difficult liquor to drink because of its strong acidity and various other strong habits. But what is this doburoku! It's not so sweet or sour, just enough to give a gentle taste of the ingredients, and it's easy to drink! For those who like that habit, it may be quite insufficient. However, I like it this much better now. Other doburoku seems to take a little more getting used to. The rice mash is not that strong and has a mouthfeel similar to muddy sake. If I am wrong, it may even be easier to drink than the more habitual muddy sake... lol. Combined with the PET bottle container, it felt like Koiwai apple juice. Are my nose and tongue going crazy? I can feel the apple feeling somewhere. The packaging is probably a parody of the classic movie Leon. I found a funny one on Twitter, so I'll post it here.

In a word, sour! From sourness came a slight sweetness. Strength of fermentation.

One-cup Unsan was great, but I don't see it anymore.

Japanese>English

Yoshinoya," which I was interested in, was at the event, so I visited and bought some. I tasted it because it was recommended, and it was delicious, so I decided immediately to buy it along with amazake (amazake is also really delicious). (The amazake was really good too). The aroma was slightly cemedine-type? (The amazake was really tasty.) The aroma was slightly cemedine-like, but not too much. The taste is slightly gassy on the palate, and then the umami spreads into the mouth with a bang, leaving a sour taste and a lingering aftertaste that feels like you are drinking sake, which is pleasant and fluffy on the nose. It is fresher and tastier than when I tasted it. I really like this lingering taste of sake around 17 degrees, but I always feel frustrated that I can't drink a lot of sake because it goes around so fast 😅.

It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!

Japanese>English

This is KIYOMIZU from the same hanpukai. The difference is that Maikaze from Gunma Prefecture is used instead of Gohyakumangoku. The aroma is the same as SAKAEMASU, but milder. The taste is surprisingly less cloying than SAKAEMASU. There are not many rice varieties that have a cleaner sake quality than Gohyakumangoku. The sweetness is also relatively strong and full-bodied.
