The most expensive sake in the local bar I went into. This is certainly a good drink. It has an accent, but it's not too strong and seems to go well with everything. It is a strong drink, even if you can read "Yusura" in the name. The sashimi and octopus were as light and tasty as potato chips.

Japanese>English

Hmmm... It's like sake.

Japanese>English

pure and large Ancient taste. Beautiful. Classical and beautiful. The umami is not that strong. The sweetness is quite restrained. Dry and light. Not as dry as Go-no-Homare, but the dryness comes through slowly. It is just different from other sake. 87 points Sweetness: 2 Dryness:3.3 Acidity: 2.3 Aroma: 2.7

Japanese>English

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.

After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

Japanese>English

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Japanese>English

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️

Oh no, chocolate. At room temperature, it's quite chocolatey. The next day, the only way to get this is to heat it up. The next day, we heated it up and it turned out to be a good hit. Let's take it easy. In the long autumn night...

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Miyamanishiki. The sweetness of the flavor is refreshing. The aftertaste is cohesive.

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.

Japanese>English

This sake was purchased at a convenience store in Saku, where I was traveling. It is fire-aged, but it has a fresh aroma and a full flavor, just like a fresh sake. I liked it so much that I decided to buy some as souvenirs.

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

Japanese>English

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

A gift from my parents-in-law. The first time I drank it, it was also good❗️ In the basic refreshing, there is also a strong taste of rice, as a medium sake in the meal is very good😆. I enjoyed it with spring bonito and firefly squid. Thank you to my father and mother-in-law😊.

Japanese>English

Last of the day. It has been a while since I had this one. It has a medium mouthfeel, with a spicy and umami richness from the mid-palate. It goes on and on until the aftertaste.

Japanese>English

(1) Drink Yamato sake at Narasen Yusai (2) From the aroma, it has a very matured and grain-like taste. I thought it was very peculiar, but when I put it in my mouth, all the sweetness disappeared and it was very dry! The sweetness is all gone from the mouth and it's very dry! It's nice that it finishes clean and crisp! When I think of Kubo-Honke, I think of their "Nama Hashiroshi Dobu", but I was reminded that their sake is matured and dry!
