5.0/10.0 Local sake from Aichi prefecture. The barrel aroma is amazing.

Japanese>English

Full-bodied ginjo aroma🪙. In the mouth, a slightly heavy sweetness and a unique umami taste escape through the nose, and a light acidity rounds it all out😗. The price is reasonable and I can't complain, but enjoy it as a food sake: ☺️🍽️

Japanese>English

It is also easy to drink, but a little spicier than the yeast 1801 from the same brewery.

At home. The third Nara sake without permission - ‼️. Kita Sake Brewery is located in Gobo-cho, Kashihara City and was founded in 1718. My son used to play baseball and we used to go to Sato Yakuhin Stadium near here. This is the first time for us to visit there. The aroma is not so strong, but there is a slight sweetness and alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness, sourness, dryness, and the gradual feeling of alcohol. Oh, is this the ultimate in dryness? For now, I will only taste it tonight and wait for tomorrow to see how it changes. There was almost no change in taste after the second day. It is dry, but it has a sweet taste and is not unacceptable.

Gohyakumangoku. Mellow sweetness and umami dominate. Slightly sour taste at the end.

Miyogiku is a sake brewery located near Kashihara Shrine. I bought a Junmai sake and this Honjozo sake. It has a very high density of flavor and richness even in hiya, and the acidity is enough to go well with the drinks! It is also very well balanced in terms of both comfort and drinkability! It is even better when heated! This is wonderful! I bought a small bottle the day before because I had to buy a lot of things at Ise Jingu Shrine, but I want to buy another 4 bottles! Before going to the Kashihara Shrine, we went around the tombs around the shrine, and especially the Unebiyama Northeast Mausoleum was amazing! It was scary! Furthermore, although I must have been to Kashihara Shrine when I was a child, it looks bigger than the image I had when I was a child. Normally it should look smaller than it did when I was a child, but it was the opposite. I guess I felt the greatness of Kashihara Shrine.

Saw it in a convenience store and bought it. Low alcohol sake with 5% alcohol content I'm not a strong sake drinker, so I get a little drunk after 2-3 gos of sake, but this one looks like it won't get me drunk at all! It's like a juice! No "shwashy" feeling, sweetness comes first, then sourness. The taste does not linger so much. It tastes like sakekasu (sake lees), and it's a taste of sake. There is a slightly peculiar aroma in the nose (a little bit bitter). I wish all sake were this low in alcohol content so I could try different flavors... Serve with Gouda cheese and salmon kimchi The cheese has a peculiar aroma that disappears nicely and goes well with the sake. Kimchi may not be a good match because the taste is too strong and all you can taste is the sourness of the argos.

Japanese>English

(Log) Argo Sake 5.0 Sweet, sour and low al! It has all three of my favorite things!

Japanese>English

It has a strong sweetness, but also has a moderate acidity. The smoothness of the wine makes it easy to drink, but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Japanese>English

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

It is a well-balanced and delicious sake 🥳👍

bonus🍶 Delicious Hamachidori with Sashimi We had it with 🥒🧂, spinach and enokitake mushrooms because we were full 😋. As expected in the season of year-end parties: ‼️ The stores were so crowded and the ones I knew were temporarily closed everywhere, so I walked around🐈⸒⸒⸒⸒🐾🐾 Tired of walking around, we took a break at a restaurant we passed by. Although there were not many kinds of Sake, they arranged some Tsumami for us even if they were not on the menu. Sweet and spicy fried cockerel 🐔. The kotteri taste makes Hamachidori even spicier ( °◊° )ho

Junmai 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ Crisp and dry 😳. Sake of the sea 🏖. Goes well with the sea squirt I bought as a souvenir at San San Minamisanriku Roadside Station. You can also taste the sweetness. The octopus also had a lot of flavor. Purchased at San San Sanriku Roadside Station.

The eighth sake rice research bottle is Yumesansui, a trad variety from Aichi. It has a solid image, but the aroma is citrusy. Freshness of new sake, slightly effervescent and drier than sweet. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

Today is my first time drinking both of these ️️Aichi-style sake breweries 👍 First up is Ko no Tsukasa‼️. This is the one that shouldn't be chilled😅it's water😆. It's still water even if the temperature goes up😅It might be good if it's heated up, but it's too much trouble so I'm not going to do it 🤣. Next time👍

Japanese>English

The rice is Yumesansui, the same as in the previous nama sake we drank. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity. A little sweet and a little pineapple. It tastes fresh and spring-like. Delicious.

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!

The driest I've had on the same day.

I heard from an acquaintance that Sakuta was delicious and ordered it because there was no special distributor near me and it was in the hometown tax payment. Since it was a set of two bottles, I received it with sincerity. Ginjo-shu with brewing alcohol Fruity ginjo aroma like muscat, sweetness and umami at first, but lingering in the middle as if it were crystal clear water, and later acidity comes in and it is a refreshing dry sake.

Japanese>English

Good balance of bitterness and sweetness.
