I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. I've been drinking it with mackerel tataki, wild yellowtail, squid sashimi, and tuna sashimi.

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

It is sweet, but has a good sharpness. Light and refreshing after opening the bottle. and refreshing 😋. Another delicious sake 😆.

Japanese>English

Very refreshing! First taste is muscat with a hint of cucumber towards the finish. There is a slight dryness at the finish which is nice. A light mouth feel and a short finish. The name of this Sake is true to the flower.

I took a break from work and took a ferry to Beppu: 🛳️ My wife, who is in charge of trip planning, was so excited. She must have looked really tired😅. I washed my mind at a luxurious inn. The only thing I knew about Oita Prefecture was Chiebijin, but there was also this Waka Botan, Nishi no Seki, Kaorucho, etc. The waitress told us that this Waka Botan was very strong. She said that people who don't drink much sake are surprised by it. Really? Well, I am a beginner, so I was surprised. It is true that it has a strong acidity like white wine, but it is sweet and very tasty. There was also a green label of Chuebijin's rarely seen edible rice "Shunyo", which was also delicious. It is also delicious. Juicy sake, like muscat or melon. Oita Prefecture is amazing! Waka Botan, is it a rare sake? I looked it up on Sake-no-wa and found that Nemuchi-san is drinking it! As expected of the first 🫶 I have nothing but respect 🤭.

I had received a nice, affordable nodoguro and matched it with this dish. The taste of the nodoguro was very good, and combined with the refreshing acidity, it quickly became empty.

Japanese>English

Farewell party connected by sake rice. From the Hokuriku Sake Rice Series and the Sake Kingdom of Niigata Prefecture, Koshitanrei and Tokimizu Meisui Tatomo Junmai Ginjo, a gem from GINigata. It may be light, but it is rather deep. It tends to be umami. As expected from Niigata. At Joetsu Takata Funakae

Japanese>English

It was during the week, but I had a light drink with what I received. The flavor was so good that I ended up emptying it. I am looking forward to another bottle of premium.

Sasasande - I'm still in the sasandei. A trophy of the Niigata expedition. Surprisingly, it tastes like a summer sake with a strong acidity. It is said to be made from 100% Kame-no-o with a 65% rice polishing ratio. I wonder if anyone can guess the type of rice by the masking. Someday I would like to say, "Oh, this is Omachi"...

Japanese>English

Purchased at Ponshukan. It has a cute design that does not look like a cup of sake. The sake is brewed with four varieties of rice produced by four farmers in the Nishigama district, located in the far west of Niigata Prefecture. So that's what the grains of rice on the label mean. That makes sense. The sake was served cold in the cold sake corner at the store, so I chilled it well at home. It has a well-balanced taste, not too sweet or dry. It is easy to drink and delicious. Niigata's cup sake has a huge variety and high quality.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Gohyakumangoku The acidity is effective, and the umami flavor is penetrating. It has been a long time since this sake had the impact of a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast.

It is rich and sweet with a dry taste. It has a high alcohol content of 17 degrees. Freshly opened and cold, there was a roughness. When the temperature rises a little, full-bodied sweetness♩Pop label was also an eye-catching bottle!

Japanese>English

O(^o^)o Sem Sem Sem Sem Sem Sem It is the second day of the cup life. Today is Ichinoya in Fukui Prefecture. I've had Akatsuki and Tsukishibijin before, but today I'm drinking a cup of Kamisen. Room temperature on a hot day. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we got a bottle of Ichinotani, a sake from our neighbor Fukui Prefecture 😀. I bought it because of the old-fashioned, hard-core label 😚The specs are also very Chinese, 35% Yamadanishiki daiginjo😤, but the price is reasonable💰They really only have one bottle, but it seems that only the store of one of their customers has a 4-goupe bottle 👍. The aroma is mild and ginjo like 🍑😊Clear sweetness and refreshing acidity🥰The aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly😍✨It's a beautiful sake that goes down smoothly🥳It's a delicious sake😆👍✨

Juicy and moderately sweet. Even at 17 degrees alcohol, it feels light.

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

(*^▽^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I had my first sake from Sado Island, Garakudai 😀 The aroma was mild. It's very refreshing and fresh, with a hint of rice flavor and a gentle acidity to finish it off 😙The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink 😎.

Japanese>English

2021/05/03 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A refreshing muscat-like aroma. The sweetness is a bit heavy and the sourness is a bit strong. It's a little heavy on the sweetness and a little heavy on the sourness. The overall taste is clean and clear.

I've always been curious about it because I often see it at Takashimaya, but this is my first time to drink it. The rice is Asahi rice and Yamadanishiki. It is fresh and has a strong sweet flavor, but the aroma and taste are a bit unique. I also feel a bit of hardness. I'll give it some more time and see how it goes. Apple and honey-like sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It is heated to a high temperature. It's what I call a good heated sake. It's just plain good.
