The label is unexpectedly attached on two sheets. The second one that I turned over, The second label is a nice beckoning cat with both hands raised in the air. The taste is mellow and autumnal, The taste is mellow like an autumn sake with a fresh sweetness like a pear. It is easy to match with meals.

Japanese>English

It is a light and refreshing sake! It's a great match for a midday drink!

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Abe-kan at home. The one I drank in the past was a special sake with a special kijoshu spec, so I don't think it was any different from the first time I drank it. It is dry with a strong gassy and acidic taste. It is not that sweet, but it is easy to drink because of the sourness. I don't think I've ever seen Abe-kan sold anywhere but Edion Namba.

Rice used is Comet The tanks are buried in the snow to mature the sake. It does not have a sense of maturity, but has a round mouthfeel and a crisp finish. It is a good summer sake.

Japanese>English

My junior from Hokkaido bought some sake as a souvenir and we drank it at home together. It seems to be stored in the snow. The sake is light and dry. It goes well with any kind of food. We had yakitori and hormone today. The sake and the snack are delicious, and the talk is fun. The best.

As smooth as water. Fruity and smooth. It is a summer sake!

Ginfuki is produced in Shiga Prefecture The second bottle of Makuake limited edition It's elegant, easy to drink, and goes down easily. It's not just smooth, it's full of sweetness and flavor❣️. The acidity is well balanced. It has a great potential to be a great sake.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Hida Hidahomare from Hida Almost no sense of maturity To put it simply A light, dry sake with umami. I would say it is a light, dry sake with a great umami flavor. It is good as a food sake! It was a great match with grilled fish.

Japanese>English

Tenryo, which I ordered at a meal on my trip. It was a freshly brewed and stored Honjozo brewed with Hidahomare. I usually don't drink Hidahomare, Honjozo, or Nama-Seizou, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to drink it. The color was crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is quite mild, with mineral and earthy notes. When you drink it, it has a slightly fruity overtone. Next comes a sense of minerality and a hint of sweetness. There is also a slight white ball-like feeling. The acidity is smart and not too assertive. Bitterness appears a little at the end. The lingering aftertaste is pale and slowly fades away with the bitterness. As is typical of honjozo, it has the sake-like flavor that is generally imagined by those who do not normally drink sake, but it is a food sake with a fruity character that is typical of freshly stored sake. It's meant to be served at ryokans, as it goes perfectly with fish, vegetables, and other Japanese dishes! I've been drinking a lot of sake that can be drunk on its own, so I'm very satisfied with my first "food sake" in a long time! It may not be a hit with those who only accept easy-to-understand sake, but for those who like dry sake, or those who want to enjoy a marriage between sake and food, or to complement food, this is a naturally delicious sake.

Here is the 5th drink of the comparison at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Kohime Junmai Sake This one has a distinctly different taste from the other four. The color, the grain-derived aroma, the taste... Classic type with strong umami and acidity. ❗️ Suitable as a food sake

Japanese>English

Purchased with Tenryo sake cup at Okuhiroya in Kayashima. They stocked it because it was well received at a Saga sake tasting event held for sake retailers. Probably not normally available in the Kansai region. The rice is made from Hokkaido's Kitashizuku. I know Nabeshima also uses Kitashizuku. It has a beautiful sake quality for the rice polishing ratio. There is a slight sweetness, but it is also slightly thin and heavy. It also has a nutty taste. It tastes like nothing else.

Japanese>English

HAMA BAR⑤. The last one is "Kouhime" on the far left. It has a slightly sour taste and is very impressive. My friend said she could tell even blind. Really? The DEAR MY PRINCESS on the menu seems to have been very popular this season. It seems to have been very popular this season and has been sold out. I got the third one, RISE, instead.

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

First time drinking at Japanese Sake Festival Osaka ③. This is Okuhida-san, which I really got for the first time 😀. The first green sparkling sake was quite tasty, but the one that surprised me the most was this Tokujun Hi-ire 😇. The nuance of the flavor was more like Jungin than Tokujun 😀 It had the flavor of rice, but also had the taste of rice. The overall flavor was cohesive while still having the deliciousness of rice 😀. I heard that this sake is also available in a raw type, but unfortunately it was not exhibited this time 🤣. But I would like to taste the raw version again 😀.

Sake given to me by a friend. It has a sweet taste. It is elegant and wonderful. I put it in the fridge to hold back my desire to drink more, as I think it will taste even better if I let it sit for a little longer. I wonder what kind of snacks I should make to go with this sake.

Japanese>English

Bought at Mount Gozaisho after a lovely hike with my HelloTalk friend. Drank on Shinkansen and Narita Skyliner on my way home. Good way to end the trip 😄 Taste is a bit sharp. Not my favorite but still nice.

Cemedine aroma. Effervescent and light drinking.

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) The name of the train is "Yusara" (mountain cherry peach). It has a strong taste. It tastes like a pure sake. The sense of maturity escapes from the nose. However, the mild taste makes it easy to drink. But it is easy to drink with a mild taste, and you can feel the strong flavor and drink it with high satisfaction! It was delicious! The photo shows Mt. Tsukuba from inside the Mito Line train.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ Probably my first mountain cherry (Yusura) I wonder if the reason it's rather light is because it's a junmai daiginjo? I have the impression that it's not as good as Bean Curd with Bean Curd. But as a stand-alone sake, it is delicious! I think it is better to match it with something light, not with a strong snack. I think it's good as it can be drunk with a meal or a drink. Well, it is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it is better to enjoy it on its own. It was my first time to drink it, but it is delicious!

I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁‍♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Japanese>English

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.
