Japanese>English

The rice used is Akita Sake Komachi It has a good sweetness and is crisp and clean. It is a good food sake. When I find a sake like this, I buy it immediately.

I was wondering what the same company that did Tenka and Shihu would do with the Meimon Shukai now that they've taken over the business? I was wondering what they were going to do with the prestigious sake associations, and then they released it 😊. Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Is it white malted rice? It's so acidic that I thought it was white malted rice. It also has a slightly dry atmosphere. It has a unique taste, but it is delicious. I wonder if the product for the Meimon Shukai that was sold before was Yuyamanishiki, but instead of using Yuyamanishiki, they used Gohyakumangoku to separate it from Honami.

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 🥲.

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

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.

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

It has a strong flavor, but the sharpness is tremendous. Easy to drink because of the sharpness though. ☆☆☆☆

A gentle, spring-like sweetness can be felt, and The umami of the rice is then conveyed clearly. The final sharpness is also good, making this sake suitable for a mealtime drink.

Sake I got on a business trip to Hamamatsu. It has been a long time since I have been on a business trip, and it has been a long time since I have had a drink with people I have met, and I do not want the world to be a place where Corona gets in the way of meeting people. The name of this sake, "Dezejo," is an alias of Hamamatsu Castle, named after the successive lords of the castle who succeeded Ieyasu, many of whom rose to important positions in the Edo Shogunate. It is a traditional dry sake, that feeling of a hot throat. Hamamatsu is also the setting for a major TV drama, and Hamamatsu is hot and exciting.

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

@sakebar Fukuzo Kobayashi Shuzo Honten located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This will be my first time here too 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. 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👍.

Japanese>English

Aromas of rum, pear and coolness. Lemon-like acidity in the bottle, from pear fruity to Light cooked rice feeling. Finally, bitterness, minerality and crispness. Modern and natural taste. It is delicious when pulled off smoothly. Does not go well with salty white fish with a strong salty corner. Maybe a little more cheese or pickles, It would go well with cheese, pickles, or a wine-like entrée, Taste level 4/5

Japanese>English

Masuma is a hiya (room temperature in October). Watery mouthfeel, clear, green apple taste, then alcohol taste, and finally bitterness follows. The yeast is a flower yeast isolated from cherry blossoms, so I compared it to Kihei's Junmai-shu made with Kawazakura yeast, but they are completely different. Kihei's sake had an impressive lactic acidity, but this one has almost none. I can taste a little lactic acidity from pickles, but you may have to go looking for it to find it! Dry, with a little ginjo aroma, but nothing spectacular. Would go well with guts of Akinatai fish or something like that. 55 degrees hot. Not much change in impression... I wonder if the sour aroma becomes a little stronger and drier... (I added this because it was totally different when I drank it a little later. The sweetness and umami went up a lot. Good with meals 33 degrees from 55 degrees

Japanese>English

Limited distribution to exclusive dealers. Gentle sweetness that comes softly. The dry, watery taste. As you get used to it, the bitterness comes in. It is not gorgeous, but rather plain. Production date: December 2023 Release date: February 16, 2024

Morishima Sake Brewery. "Make the time you spend drinking sake a happier time." Nice words 🎵. It's a refreshing sake with a delicious rice flavor. It also has a refreshing taste. Thanks to the owner's courteous service, I will have another cup tonight.

Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 65 When I came to buy the next one from Abe-san, it caught my eye and I bought it immediately and opened the bottle ^ ^. The first attack is very characteristic. The sweetness soaks through all at once. I thought it was a little too sweet, but then I took a second sip. The second sip. What? You don't feel the sweetness? It's delicious, isn't it? I would like to repeat a bottle, but I think there are only two bottles left. I don't have enough space in my fridge, so I'll give up.

It says Gotenzakura in small letters on the lower left corner of the front label, but I was told that it was a PB from a local liquor store. Sake made with LED dream yeast from Tokushima🍶. The aroma on the nose is gorgeous and fruity. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the smooth sweetness and umami. It also has a fruity overtone. This sake has a good aroma. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Gotenzakura doburoku, which my father somehow bought on Amazon.com. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand...it's been a long time since then. The initial aroma is faintly sweet with a hint of koji malt. In the mouth, there is a slight sourness like plain yogurt and a slight sweetness of rice. I was able to drink it quite refreshingly while chewing on the rice. I guess it's like a sweet sake with a lot of sake lees, but with much less sweetness. It was delicious ✨.

Japanese>English

Light doburoku with a sweet sake-like sensation. It has a firm rice sweetness and a natural taste.
