Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag? It is delicious, but maybe too elegant. It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

Japanese>English

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.

Japanese>English

This sake is limited to two liquor stores, one in Sakai and the other in Kishiwada. Only 12 bottles are in stock, so the next time I come back, there won't be any left, so I was allowed to try a special sample before purchasing. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a low alcohol content and is sweet with a gentle taste. It is low in alcohol, but you can feel the fullness of the flavor. It has no gaseous feeling, but it is fresh. It can be used by itself or with food. Shimada Special is delicious no matter what you drink.

This is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place. According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki. The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite. Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔. I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself?

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a very crisp, dry, deep-flavored Ajiginjo. The aroma is subtle. The mellowness is more apparent in junmai sake. This is also a good sake. I drank 8 glasses this time and they were all good! There are so many good sake that I can't keep up with them all! It's a happy scream!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Slightly pear-like aroma. It has a light shwashiness, and the sweetness is refreshing and light. Is it a summer sake? The umami is also crisp and clean. This is good!

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

Japanese>English

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

Today we are in Hitachinokuni, right above Makabe. Smell is a little light. The taste is a little cemedine, soft but I think it is a little bit weak in taste. I can't feel many attacks. thanks Liquor Shop Kinase (Mito)

Japanese>English

@SAKE Street Rice used is Nihonbare There are still some good sake in Ibaraki that we don't know about yet. ❗️ It is mild on the palate, with an impressive soft sweetness. The umami has depth and strength. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also 👌. You can enjoy various expressions depending on the temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. ❣️

I have been curious about this one for a long time...Chuai! The slight fruity aroma characteristic of Miyamanishiki, the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the bitterness of the finish! The moderate lingering aftertaste lingers... I'm sipping it with sashimi, hamo tempura, and local edamame (green soybeans)... Yum! Delicious 😋Hatsuchuai!

Fresh, with a good balance of sweet and sour flavors

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku? The taste is lively and fresh, as only a new brew of sake can be. It claims to be dry, but it is not that dry, and has a refreshing finish that is not sweet. It has a good balance and a high cosmetic ministry. I would love to try other brands.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima This is a light flavor. It has a moderate alcohol content, a slight sweetness, and a crisp finish. It was a good food sake that can be drunk without hesitation. ❣️

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo This sake is from the same Kobayashi Shuzo Honten as the "Hakata no Mori" I posted a while ago. Mandai must be more famous locally 🤔. It will be pressed on the morning of Risshun 🍶. The aroma on the nose is fruity🍍 and sweet. When you take it into your mouth, it has a deep, mild sweetness and umami that is typical for a draft sake, and it finishes with a slight astringent taste. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I was aware that it was originally intended to be a classic sake, but as I expected from a sake pressed in the morning of Risshun, it was a fresh, elegant, and sweet sake with a great aroma. I was very satisfied with the sake, which tasted even better than I had imagined.

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Japanese>English

There is no mention of it, but it is probably nama sake. It is not labeled as Nama-shu, but according to the information on the Internet, the label on the back of the bottle says it needs to be kept chilled, which means it is Nama-shu. Am I right? The rice is Ginbukiyo and Nihonbare. It also looks like a raw sake. It does not feel as spicy as the sake level, and although it is spicy, there is a good balance of sweet and spicy. The taste is light and refreshing. The spiciness finishes with a lingering sweetness. There is a good amount of graininess.

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑫ Mochizuki Shuzo and Suzukabuto booth. The youngest toji in Shiga Prefecture who used to not talk much, but this time he was able to talk a lot. ◉Jusakabuto Special Junmai Namaishu A full-bodied, mellow type of sake with a unique aroma on the nose. The aroma on the nose is unique, but not unpleasant. ◉Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire The aroma is clear and calm, a little loose and lackluster. It has a pungent aftertaste. ◉Juzukabuto Junmai Ginjo Namaishu Fresh, with a firm umami and a little bit of sake. It has a freshness to it, a firm umami, and a slight sake-like quality. The Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu and the Hi-ire Shu have almost identical labels, but there is a small note on the label saying that the sake has been hi-ire and needs to be stored cold. It seems that after Corona, they started storing more regular sake and now they are reducing production. They haven't raised the price yet, but they said that from now on the situation will be such that they will either sell it for rice or make it to earn money for rice. I'll have to drink and support them.
