Bought at a Lawson. with grilled shrimp from Omichi market. Light and bland.

Order from the top of the sake menu It was a good decision to order first! It's so refreshing and easy to drink! The name of this sake has a certain charm to it!

I had checked to buy it during my trip to Kanazawa, but when I went to the store, I couldn't find it, so I ended up buying it online. At 9% alcohol by volume, it is light as a food sake, so it goes very well with sake. However, when I want to drink sake, it is not enough. However, it is delicious. It is good for those who don't like sake.

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

My Best Sake 🍶 since I first drank it a few years ago. Muscat, green apple 🍏. Mellow and the acidity bounces off the tongue. It's smooth, sweet and umami, and doesn't need any side dishes or accompaniments. Refreshing and fresh. This one bottle is just the kind of flavor that makes one's heart dance. It is perfect to drink on a nice, sunny day. It goes well with a party with friends. I'm going with this one! This is the sake that will make you make such a decision. Hodenasu is a dialect word, It's not really suitable as a gift, It's not really suitable for a gift, but it's a recommended sake that tastes so good that it becomes a hodenasu. LOL! It was a lot in November 2024, It's ok👍It's a good one, but I'm not sure if it's suitable as a gift or not. it's ok👍

Japanese>English

Memorandum It looks like a classic type, but it's not. Slightly effervescent and refreshing but with a robust flavor and taste, it's not light but for some reason it's a dangerous one that goes down easy (P.S.U.M.). It's really a "hodenasu" 😅 Personal rating 7.5/10 points

Japanese>English

It's out again this year! Hode Nasu! It's a tag-team sake from Kadoden Brewery, which is also known as a metamorphosis of rice, and Hagino Brewery, which is known as one of the best sweet and sour brewers in Miyagi Prefecture. While the heady aroma is modest, the tangy gassiness gives the sake a strong umami presence. The sweetness and acidity typical of Hagino Brewery are also present. It is covered with lees and is very satisfying to drink! It is a dangerous sake with a sharpness that makes it easy to drink. Please don't abuse it. Sake words without permission 〜The best combination of old and new, the best combination of super beasts... Thank you very much for the food and drink!

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.

Japanese>English

☀️ From the clean rice🌾 flavor, there is a sweetness in the mouth 😊. The taste is very transparent, but with a hint of sweetness in addition to the umami, it doesn't feel like it's pushed away. It has a likable finish 🤗.

This is the last of the sake purchased at the Nagoya liquor store. Rice used is Yumesansui Beautiful smooth sweetness and moderate bitterness and spiciness. It has a little heaviness, but it is a well-balanced sake ❗️. Not bad❣️

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

Japanese>English

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.
