Smells like walnuts? Gorgeous cemedine, smell of alcohol after some time. Mild mouthfeel, then sweetness like three warm sugar, light pungency, aging aroma, as you swallow, the taste becomes milder, and gradually bitter from sweetness. Alcohol 20%, well 20% is intoxicating.

This is delicious. I sent a bottle of Yamagata wine to my cousin who lives in Nagoya, and this is my return gift. I'm satisfied with this sake because it has the feeling I like. It's good at room temperature. It rides softly on the tongue with a sweetness that flows easily. I like Halley's Comet.

Homecoming Series 13 Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture is home to Shiina Sake Brewery's Fukushin. It is a pure Ibaraki local sake made from 100% Hitanishiki produced in the prefecture! The specs are a special junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 55%. While the aroma is subdued, the taste is a robust sake that hits the right notes of rice! The aroma has nuances of young melon and white bean flour, the acidity is not strong, and the taste is easy to drink with a medium attack and a slightly long finish. For my taste, it is my favorite type. It is too hot to warm up today, but I will add my comments on heated sake later.

Tomikushin's summer sake, which was absent last year due to lack of Miyamanishiki This year's resurrection is a special junmai, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with Hitanishiki Ogawa yeast instead of Miyamanishiki. Soft and gentle taste and aroma. It has a good ripeness and full-bodied flavor. It has a cocoa flavor that is somehow delicious! It is easy to drink and has no curdle. I heard that this year, they tried to use Ogawa yeast for the sake competition and missed out on a prize, but I hope they keep trying!

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

First time at a liquor store in years. My first brand. Cold sake Gentle apple compote aroma. Light, well-balanced sweetness and umami spread slowly afterwards. The aftertaste flows smoothly.

Suginami Ward is offering a special campaign until tomorrow. We have taken advantage of it. To be honest, I chose this sake to paint the map. Today it was Temakizushi. It is a good sake to go with seafood. It is refreshing and easy to drink.

Junmai sake with a new sensation. It has a sweetness of rice and a slight sourness that you have never had before. It has a peculiar taste. The taste is quite light, good for sake beginners? The alcohol content is 9 degrees, perfect for tasting with a meal, snacks, or something else. If anything, it is dry.

Looks like it would be good hot. I drank it cold 🤭. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Congratulations to Okinawa Shogaku for winning the championship. I am looking forward to next year's draft. Today we will have the Urare Shinigami: ☠️ This is the first Reaper at home. The font feeling is amazing, isn't it? The aroma is delicious vanilla and fruity grape. On the palate, there is deliciousness and sweet acidity, and the spiciness disappears after a while. Overall, it is well-balanced. It is delicious with sushi. It is the best match for oily sashimi. Delicious✨

Japanese>English

It has a subtle acidity in the aftertaste. A gentle sake that does not resemble its name at all.

Japanese>English

It's a straight-up sake! It has a strong flavor that is good! Also, I have actually visited the factory, and it's nice to see how much they care about handmade products 😋.
