Junmai 🍶. Hot sake. about 55 degrees. ♨️ Sweet umami. Slightly dry aftertaste, not mellow. Mellow and gentle. ☺️ My wife says it's like a rice ball 🍙. Full of rice flavor. choinomi KATSU@Takasaki station 20240204

It's a little bit more expensive, but It's a very elegant, sweet drink! It's kind of like the sweetness of a muscat! It's 500ml, so it'll be drunk in no time!

Japanese>English

It's foamy! I'm sure it's just cider or something. Mild sweetness, or is it the sweetness of the cage? Clear aftertaste! It's delicious 😋.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

This sake was given to us by a visitor to Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Niigata, which is famous for its signature Akita dog. It is slightly sweet and has a subtle rice flavor, and although it was made in December 2010, it does not have an aged feel and is refreshing and easy to drink. It has a slight peach and lactic acid flavor. I think it is one of the most delicious alcoholic sake.

Japanese>English

It was a delicious sake with a good balance of flavors and a fresh, mellow taste 😋.

Lightly perked. The richness of umami and spiciness asserts itself in the middle.

Weekend drinking out with work friends in Tokyo. At the first place, it was wine from beer. Sake at the second one... more details 😆. A bit dry... I don't remember the wooden barrel feeling that I was so excited about 🙏. The first sip was very quick and easy to drink 😅

Japanese>English

Sometimes I drink out! I forgot to take a picture of the back label. The rice is called Akebono. It has been a long time since I have had it. Overall, it's clean, with a soft flavor. It smelled great, and it was a delicious drink! You can buy a quadruple bottle for less than 1,000 yen, so the cost is good ✨

The other day at work, we were wondering if we should go out to eat eel... 💦(´××`)𓂃🌀 so We went to Mishima, Shizuoka 🤣. to Mishima, Shizuoka 💦. I found this kind of sake there, so please say hi!

Today is the second of four I received for Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day. I've had it in the past, but I'd like to share my thoughts on it again. It is a gift of 📌300ml ¥. I'll get back to you as soon as I can 😊. The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 It's good in a wine glass but I dare to drink it in a boar cup 😊I can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice 💕. Next, if you drink it in a wine glass, the aroma will spread and the sweetness will be even more pronounced 👍I would definitely recommend a wine glass💕. I had it cold this time, but it would be interesting to drink it at various temperatures 😋It may be a little disappointing that it is only 300ml this time 😋. Thanks to my grandson, I will enjoy it again today ✌️

Japanese>English

I bought it at Kyorindo. I bought it immediately because of the good price and the good label. The aroma is fruity and the color is a little yellowish. By the way, the price is 940 yen without tax.

<Chapter 6 Kaganoi in Niigata. This is my first time😊. I had never heard of Shiroto before. I felt a nostalgic, warm flavor 🎵. It's more than just a dry, light, umami taste, which is typical of Niigata! The aroma of rice with a strong umami flavor was wonderful👍✨.

Japanese>English

Purchased when Nemuchi and I stopped by Hankyu's Depa basement on the way back from traveling SAKE. I found the sake that Mr. Sakeran was drinking, so I bought it. I have bought a sake with the same label, but I think it tastes different, so maybe it was the Gohyakumangoku version? There is a trace of sweetness, but the basic taste is dry. It has a strong extract. It's not my favorite line of sake, but there is something about it that I can't dislike 🤔. This sake is not a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast, but I think it tastes similar to Daishichi that Mr. Sakeran praised so highly. On the second day, it tastes a little sweet like candy.

The 5th Sagajo Shoten Presents at the 5th Bishushu Raku Kushan Shokai 😃. First time to try Kaganoi ❗Black bottle with Kanji and horizontal characters ✨. The taste is light and dry, as is typical of Niigata sake! The freshness of the Ginjo Nama Sake is also pleasant 🎵.

Kashima Shrine, Ikisu Shrine, Katori Shrine I visited and bought from the three shrines of Eastern Japan! This time we got Katori! Junmai Natural Sake 80 I've never tasted sake like this before! Sweet aroma? The aroma of bread? The taste is strong and robust. The sourness and richness are similar to coffee... That's just my personal opinion😜. What the heck, I just finished 300mls! LOL! It is a divine drink 😁.

I messed up with the Terada family.... It's perfect for heating up.

Trophies of the GW Kanazawa - Takayama trip. When I think of canned draft sake, I think of Kikusui Ichiban Shibori, but since this sake is also from Ishikawa Prefecture, which is famous for its sake, my expectations naturally went up. The design of the can is also austere. Chill it in the refrigerator and open the bottle! Oh, you can feel a slight shwash and a refreshing sweetness (Kikusui Funakuchi Ichiban Shibori has a mellow sweetness). It's delicious. When the temperature settles down a little, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a repeat purchase. I hope they sell it in Kansai too!

It is not written on the label, but according to the liquor store's explanation, it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Omachi. It was purchased together with Tsururei Nigori at Tanaka Shoten. It has a fresh taste like a nama-shu, and the sweetness and spiciness are in balance. Refreshing and fruity. Gentle sweetness with a sense of thickening.

2023 Ginjo Shinshu Matsuri🍶. You can feel the umami of rice well. Dry 🍶.

The third cup went to "sake-ichisoku"! Thick, grape-like aroma. The mouthfeel is full, with a tangy, pungent, classic flavor. It goes well with mushrooms to enjoy a moment of old-fashioned feeling! The sake itself is smooth and silky, so the lightness and the thickness of the flavor are a good accent👍.
