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.

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 was in Aomori a few days ago, so I feel close to you.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.

I bought this Suzune for my wife who wanted to drink it 😛 lol The gasiness is still the same, but the rice flavor and acidity are there, but the impression is a little lighter than Suzune. I think I like this one better because it's more refreshing✨.

146th bottle. Sweet, slightly effervescent, easy-drinking sake.

☀️ Weekend in Aizuwakamatsu. I knew I had to try Kitakata ramen ❗️, so I had some ramen🍜 before returning to the hotel🏨. The chewy noodles, the soft chashu pork, the soy sauce broth...it was all great 😋. And one more bowl before bed 😆. We stopped by Suehiro Sake Brewery on our brewery tour and bought some sake 🍶 and jelly 🤩. First of all, a puchi puchi 🫧. It starts with bitterness and gradually sweetens up. A nice, clean, flattering taste 😚. Next is the jelly 🤍. Plum? Tangerine? Sweet like 🤔. Hard to compare as I can hardly taste the acidity 😓. It's listed as having alcohol in it, but maybe because I was drunk, it was no different than regular jelly 😆. I have special plans tomorrow so I'm going to bed early 🛌💤.

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

Japanese>English

Hanak Friday was a toast at a restaurant that "I think will be a great help to me in the future! This is the store of the owner who introduced me to sake. Oh, there are so many sakes that I still don't know about! First of all, here is "Seki". They are the brewer of Meikyojosui! It is very easy to drink! It gives the impression of being neither modern nor classic. It is very refreshing. I had it cold. It was very tasty! I heard it is also delicious heated. It went well with tempura dishes.

I have been wanting to try "Morishima" for a long time. The aroma is sweet and fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet too... The finish is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness! Nice...delicious! It also goes well with food...Enjoyed a good time with the summer stamina "Hamo-ten" and "Edamame" from a local farmer....

Japanese>English

At home. I️haven't had Morishima for a long time, but this one has a sweetness and a slight sourness in the back of a gentle mouthfeel, and a clean aftertaste. It's always good to drink it.

Japanese>English

At home. Sake that you can't help but want to drink. I am thankful that the liquor store I always go to always has it. Tonight it was paired with chicken dishes. I think it is the best sake for any kind of food. I am already a captive of it.

It is a souvenir of Kusatsu from his father. It was a refreshing, slightly spicy sake with a hint of sweetness. I think it can be served warmed.

Japanese>English

It has a samurai-like design and a blood splattering color, and it has a sake level of +15! I couldn't help but be curious about this one, so I bought it! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was dry. It also has a savory aroma like steamed rice. The dry, light flavor and the richness of Junmai are well balanced on the palate, giving it a slippery sensation. The acidity also makes it taste slightly citrus-like 🍊. It smells like ginjo, and in a good way, it is not like Junmai! The aftertaste is also refreshing and easy to drink from start to finish👍. I thought it would be a simple dry sake, but it was surprisingly fruity and refreshingly delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a refreshing green apple-like flavor and fades quickly. As the day goes by, the flavor also develops and becomes more savory.

The aroma was fruity and the taste was apple and grape-like, but I remember it was like a white wine without any astringency or bitterness.

Japanese>English

Fresh apple-like aroma. In the mouth, chili green apple, fresh sweet and sour of muscat. If you don't have low alcohol like this, you may be a little concerned about the alcohol taste, but it is delicious.

Japanese>English

A little standing drink on the weekend 🍶. Jungin I imagined it to be cute and soft... But contrary to the impression of the name It tastes manly and wild 😳 There is an alcohol smell, with a peculiar taste and aftertaste 😵. This princess 🍶 was honestly not my favorite 😞. I honestly didn't like it much 😞. 100% Gifu Hatsushimo Polishing ratio 50%, 15% alc. Liked ⭐️

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

Japanese>English

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.
