This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

I was drunk and went to bed first, My partner and daughter screamed in the middle of the night😱. I woke up in a panic and found a bug! I killed it instantly with a kincho0 under the sun ‼️ The case was safely settled. I was woken up, so I thought I'd have a drink and go back to sleep. In the fridge, Nahami's sacred sake from Akita ✨. I'm so happy ㊗️ to open it 😁. I got it from the altar at my partner's work lol I'm going to have a look at this and some surume 🤣. I looked at the label and thought 💦 Naba? It has a peculiar taste 😅. And then I opened the bottle 🎉. And then a sip... You're a quirky guy! By Chidori Nobu style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Score☆☆☆ Conclusion, don't drink sake... 😱

Hiya. Firm umami flavor. Spicy richness in the middle.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I've seen this warehouse. The rice used is Maikaze. As the name suggests, everything, including the yeast, is from Gunma, and it seems to be an annual event. The mouthfeel is mild. It is bitter-sweet with a slight banana aroma. It gently finishes with a hint of umami. It seems to have a lot of depth. Well-balanced and cohesive sake. I️ would like to visit Funao Falls too!

Japanese>English

After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station. I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"! Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar. The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!

Dry Traditional Cooled Sake Acidity Nutty Umami Amino Acidity Warm Sake

I'm going to try a popular version that I haven't had very often at this restaurant. The smell of rice is strong, like cooked rice. The sweetness is quite moderate, as indicated by the dry description. The texture is tight. Aromatic rice flavor and sharp acidity. The rice flavor is not quite dry, but it has a voluminous flavor. Somewhat amino acidic flavor, almost filmy. Grain aroma at the end. It would go well with miso cucumber, or pork stewed in square cubes because it has a good slice of fat. (I ordered a highball first. I ordered the curry flavored chicken cutlet, it doesn't go well with it. A high-cost, spicy and tasty food wine. It may be served at different temperatures. Taste degree ☆ 3.5/5

Japanese>English

It was cold and I wanted to drink heated sake, so I bought this sake. It reminded me of the unique impression I had when I drank it once upon a time. I drank it warmed up, but the acidity stood out without much umami. Sasanishiki is a light rice that does not have much sweetness, so I think it is a dry sake without much sweetness. I would have liked a little more umami.

Japanese>English

This sake goes well with this season, which is getting a little colder. The oak aroma is not too strong, and the sense of maturity makes this sake something special. Of course it goes well with heated sake, so this sake sinks into your cold body. It is a stable taste.

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 😋.

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

Sangu is the first time in about 2 years of sales. It has a solid body with the power of Aizan, but it feels lighter than the last time I drank it. It also seems a little sweeter... Is it my imagination? I have no complaints, and I still like the same type, but I wonder if my taste buds have changed? When I evaluate it calmly, I can taste the flavor and the sharpness is good. It is not fruity, but it is slightly sweet and well-balanced. It is a good sake!

Japanese>English

Mie Pref. Nabari City. Sawasa Sake Brewing Company. Sangu Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Aizan The last sake of the Aiya Festival was Sangu, which had been laid down for a long time. The brewery's toji may have passed away, but the truth is still unknown. We will be very grateful for the sake. I'll have it cold. The color is clear, but the yellow color is quite discernible. The top aroma has a strong pure alcohol aroma. It flows smoothly on the palate. The taste has a slight, weak acidity, and the umami of the rice seeps out slowly. It has a gentle, somewhat Aizan-like quality, and there is almost no bitterness. It has a mild and rounded flavor. It's probably not the same as bottled tailored, but I appreciated it and enjoyed it. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt Rice used: 100% Banshu Aiyama Rice polishing ratio:33 Alcohol content:15 Made with 100% domestic rice

Japanese>English

Iga tasted sake from Nabari. We were served a five-year-old aged sake. The amber-colored sake was full of flavor that had been nurtured and matured over the years. It was a truly delicious sake with a dense flavor.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024 (2) Gindagawa, which I have had a cup of special honjozo or something before. Was Gintagawa sold in Niigata? I thought it was a classic type, but unlike the image on the label, the acidity was noticeable and it was a bit modern? It looks like it would go well with Western food 🍴.

Honjozo 🍶 JR East Kyun ♥ Pass one-day trip to Niigata 🚃. First, we took the Shinkansen to Niigata. Go to Aomi shopping center in Honmachi 🚌. Much darker. The sake 😅. Match with Cod Milt Tempura 👍. It is too strong by itself, but it becomes delicious when combined with snacks. Sashi-zuri A ¥1600 (tuna, flatfish, nodoguro, sea bream, yellowtail, shrimp, bai clam, bigeye tuna, sea bass) is also worth it 😋. Suzuki Fresh Fish Restaurant @ Niigata Honmachi 20240301

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

Japanese>English

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.
