( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The other day, when I was in Okunoto on business, I was given a bottle of freshly brewed sake at Tsuruno Sake Brewery, the brewery that produces Taniizumi 👍I asked the cashier to put a label on it and brought it back 😙. Slightly melon-like aroma 😊Smooth on the palate, with a refreshing umami and acidity 😚Smooth, clean finish 🥰Overall, not flashy, but would go well with any dish 🥳👍.

Japanese>English

VOICE: 🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I got my second hiyaoroshi bottle of Taniizumi from Ishikawa Prefecture 😀 It's my first sake from this brewery 🍶The toji-san seems to be a woman 😀. The aroma is gentle 😊and when you drink it, the mouthfeel is gentle 😚It has a nice calm flavor and richness 🥰It also has a nice sharpness 🥰It is easy to drink and match with any food 🤩.

Japanese>English

I've always wanted to drink Taniizumi! I wasn't sure which one to choose, but on the other hand, it looks like the regular sake is harder to find, so I chose this one😃! It's a regular sake, but apparently it's Fukuroshibori! The first sip gave me the impression that it was a traditional sake☺️. The first sip was like a traditional sake ☺️ I could taste the strong grain flavor but then the sweetness and mellowness came through 😚 it wasn't dry 😆.

It is Golden Week. As a good husband who goes along with his wife's hobbies, I managed to get her to let me drink as much as I wanted and I am getting drunk. But I️ only have sake. I drank a lot of sake and am already lying on the sofa at the karaoke bar listening to her singing.

Japanese>English

Third round of drinks from beer and highballs at a year-end party with friends in the same industry! Winter makes me want to drink hot sake, doesn't it? The dry sake that makes the back of your throat go "kaaa" soaks into all of your internal organs. Thank you for all your hard work this year.

Bought in Aizu (No.1) This is the first time to buy this brand. It was delicious and had a Junmai-shu feel to it.

Japanese>English

The rice is Fukunokou. This is also not found in Kansai, so I bought it. The aroma is slightly pineapple. It is fruity but a little dry and refreshing. Slight sweetness. I was told it was dry, but I didn't feel it was that dry. It's light, but it may not be enough for some people.

Japanese>English

We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

7.5 points (wife: 7 points) Rice type : Manzai, Kakemai, Chiyonishiki Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Alcohol content : 15 Where purchased: Charcoal BBQ KIZUNA (It is a neighborhood barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy rare parts of black hair on a shichirin, and the owner is a sake lover and always has several kinds of local sake available) Slightly melon-like topping The cherry-like aroma, soft rice flavor, and subtle sweetness mixed with the top-brewing aroma gradually spread out with a clean acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. This sake has a gentle, somewhat classical impression. It is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. Goes well with various kinds of grilled meat.

Japanese>English

I bought it yesterday along with Futaba. This time it was recommended to me as a special sake again. It tastes drier, fresher and punchier than Futari. The alcohol content is 17% and it's like a Mikawa-bushi. 1415yen

Refreshing, clean, fruity 🌸🍶✨ Sour mouth like Sentori ~⤴️😚 Sweet, sour, delicious 🐴 and oicy ❕. I found it again this year 😆. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

I always wanted to drink Tanaka Sentori. I was surprised at the quality of Sentori and the quality of and the quality of Tanaka Rokugo. Since then, 12 years have passed. I think about many things when I drink it. I can say this much. It's very tasty. While cheering for the baseball game While thinking about various things I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

Fukuoka! So this is the Kyushu Brewery Shiraito Shuzo. It is different from the Tanaka Rokugo we just drank! Yeast is amazing. My subordinate, who came late, brought in some food. This is a must have for a night out in Fukuoka. Without it, I might not have been able to go home the next day.

8 points (wife: 7 points) Alcohol content: 14 degrees Celsius Sake meter: +2 Acidity: 1.2 Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio : 60 Yeast : Nadeshiko flower yeast Where to buy : Japanese Restaurant Kusabanaraku (Nagasaki City) Slightly floral melon-like top The same fruity aroma as the first sip, a moderate sweetness, and the umami of rice spread with a soft acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. The dryness of the alcohol gives this sake a good sharpness in spite of its aroma, giving it a classical impression in the latter half of the bottle. It is more suitable as a mid-meal drink than as a stand-alone sake. It went well with grilled sea bream, various sashimi, simmered pork, simmered sea bream, fried fish, and other dishes made by my wife's brother.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I drink this brand. It's clean with little miscellaneous flavors, and there's something about it that makes me want to try other kinds.

Japanese>English

No cloying taste, soft and clear. Sake with a soft and clear impression. The fruity aroma The fruity aroma spreads gently in the mouth. A delicious sake that enhances the taste of food. Delicious!

three cups of Tsunite (three cups of sake) Rice used is Hachitan Nishiki Sanshiki has a punch, doesn't it? It has a good sense of maturity and a pungent spiciness. It also has a nice sharp aftertaste. ❗️ It's great to have this kind of sake in the lineup! It was delicious. ❣️

We have changed our nickname "Kikushika of Wind Island" to "Evening Drinks Conservation Committee". Thank you for your continued support. This sake, in a plastic bottle with no label, is 10 years old. It is no longer sold, but it was my favorite sake. As expected, it has a lot of old sake flavor and is too strong on its own. When mixed with carbonated soda, it is like a lemon soda with honey added to the tannin, a world I have never tasted before. I crossed the pedestrian bridge, which has been there for a long time, for the first time. It is a town I know, but I saw a view I have never seen before. It's probably the last five minutes of my life.

Special Junmai sake with 60% polished rice ratio I bought the jacket because of the impressive cartoonish, retro Showa-era "Oniotome" illustrations. The illustration was done by Minako Sonobe. It is made with "Homare-Fuji" sake rice developed in Shizuoka Prefecture. It has a calm aroma and an elegant, gentle taste with a well-balanced flavor, and it tastes great on the finish!

I went to Fukuroi Sake House Yamaya for Kaiun Tachiharu Asashimusubori, and I was able to buy it without reservation every year, but not this year 😅I screwed up 😅. Since I went there, I bought another Risshun Asashibori 😊for good luck👍. It's a good omen 📌720ml ¥1,980 Here's a quick rice! The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink 😊👍 You can also taste the sweetness of the rice 💕 I think it's probably dry. It is a delicious sake that does not interfere with your meal💕💕💕 I couldn't buy the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori so I bought it anyway, but the Hatsuwakatake was even better than I imagined👍 Next year I'll remember to pre-order the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori 😅.

Japanese>English

A love that has lasted over two years has been fulfilled. I had a bottle in Ito izakaya two summers ago and enjoyed it so much that I was looking for a bottle to buy someday. I finally met the devil maiden in love😄. It is slightly effervescent and has a rather firm, juicy sweetness, but the mouthfeel is light and cuts through easily. The aroma is greenish, like unripe bananas🍌. Fresh and easy to drink, it goes well with oily fish 🐟.

From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

Japanese>English

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.
