この蔵のお酒は初めて飲みます😊 香りはフルーティーで良い感じです❗️ 甘さと酸味のバランスが良く程よい苦味でスッキリ飲めます‼️ 派手さは無いけど、安心して飲める味わいのお酒でした👍

Genuine Sake (Normal Sake) Aizu Inshu ✨ The first cup of our annual New Year's sake 😆. Mellow, a little bit spicy 😳, good for warming up. Mellowed with Aizu's famous squid carrots 🦑🥕 ☺️ Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20240106

Japanese>English

Normal sake The umami and acidity cling to the palate as you sip. It is a perfect match with Kitakata Ramen (soy sauce). More umami and sweetness. It was a very satisfying lunchtime Chinese drink 🎉. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20230108

Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store. Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste. This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Japanese>English

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku. The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi. It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity. As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

Japanese>English

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day. It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use. When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see. I don't think it should be chilled too much. If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you. I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while. There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic. Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?

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.

Slightly sweet rice aroma....sweet and bitter taste that I like... Unlike the light and dry Niigata sake🍶, this sake has a modern feel, like a sake to be enjoyed in a wine glass. .... This is delicious 😋 ........ It's a relaxing and blissful time.......

Japanese>English

(*^▽^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 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.

Kasumigashoju, Junmai Ginjo. I bought it immediately because it was half price at the drugstore. The spiciness and sweetness overlap and fuse from the beginning and disappear with a delicious taste. Good ministry.

Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake🍶 Yamadanishiki🌾. A little grassy? But it's not unpleasant, and it's ✨sure. Slightly dry and semi-dry. Mild with a touch of sweetness on a flat plate rather than a glass. Very gentle with raw bell bell pepper meat stuffing🫑: ☺️ Sea and @ Takadanobaba 20231005

Balanced delicious Refreshingly astringent, bitter, umami Tangy and gassy Goes well with the dumplings I happen to be eating.

First time I heard of it and first time I drank it: ☺️ I never thought I would drink Fukuoka's sake all the way in Kyoto.... LOL! The sweetness, sourness, and schwashiness...it's exquisite👍. The name is cute too 😍I'm tempted to go for it, but 17 degrees of alcohol...dangerous...I guess even beautiful sake has its thorns😱 lol lol

This is another Michinoku favorite, Fukushi Shiboritate nama-shu, new rice, new sake. It has a fruity aroma with a hint of fruitiness. It has a bit of sweetness, but the bitterness finishes it off, making it a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

This is Junmai-shu (Junmai sake) test brew COCOROMI from Fukushi Shuzo. It is made with white malted rice, so it is sweet and sour. It is best when drunk cold on a hot day 😋.
