Junmai Kamizankojyomizu Namazake🍶Biyamanishiki🌾 Saitama G yeast ✨. Moderate acidity 😆. Well made. The characteristics are thin but not unpleasant. It goes well with old-fashioned corned beef doria (mixed corned beef doria)👍This kind of snack is even better 😋. BIGINTEI @ Toda Koen 20230804

Japanese>English

Quite a fine Junmai Daiginjo sake. There is enough mellow deliciousness. It is a talented brewery in Saitama. Aside from Kamikame, it is the second best sake in Saitama after Hanayo-yoku.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I drink it at home. I bought it from Kurumiya in Hachinohe because they only sell one bottle of sake in my neighborhood. I also bought two other kinds of sake that cannot be bought in Kansai. The packaging was very careful and excellent. The aroma is subtle, with hints of strawberries and berries. The refreshing sweetness and acidity are pleasant. The final taste is bitter. I have the impression that Miyamanishiki and other sake I have had in the past were sweeter. I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy Shugou... I heard that the sake brewery here is aging, with all the employees over 65 years old. I wonder if that's why they don't distribute much.

(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just came back from a trip today and had a glass of Yumezou, a local sake 😀. It's full of flavor and a little dry 😊It has a nice crisp aftertaste and a nice sharp taste 😚. It's also good to drink the sake you bought on your trip while thinking about which one to drink first 🚗🥳.

˙˚ 𓆩 (*´▽`*) ✿𓆪 ˚˙ 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got a cup of Miyamoto Sake Brewery's Yume Sake 😀. It's my first time to try Miyamoto Sake Brewery's sake ✨. It's a strong style sake with lots of flavor 😚 It was a delicious cup 🥳.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Pale gold color, but without much sense of maturity. Slightly light, with strong acidity. It is rather sweet. It has a sharp, clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it. The umami flavor also comes through with a zing, making it a deeply flavored sake. The 87th cup of sake

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I didn't find it too harsh, but my partner, who prefers a gorgeous sweet taste, found it too much for his palate. It is true that the alcohol taste comes first, and the mouthfeel is not smooth. As the day goes by, the corners are removed and it becomes more moderate, so it might be better to go out with it slowly, but I don't dislike it in this way.

Japanese>English

Tasted at Yamagata antenna store in Ginza. It seems to be a gold medal winning sake. It is somewhat expensive, so the tasting is very helpful. It has a fruity aroma with a crisp rice aroma. It is light and dry with a touch of sweetness. It has a strong alcoholic taste and is full-bodied.

Ibaraki Sake 🍶. Sake rice: 100% Koshihikari produced in Tango, Kyoto Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol: 15-16° C, unfiltered, raw sake, black malted rice sake mother

Japanese>English

Shirakiku Aged Sake Honjozo 15-16% 70% 1.8ml It is like a plum wine with a moderate sweetness. It has a peculiar taste. And it has the maximum seme feeling. There are days when you can enjoy it, and other days when your body can't handle the peculiarity. This kind of sake should be heated. Yes, I can handle it this way. But as it gets to room temperature, it gets more and more peculiar. I wonder how long this sake has been aged. If it has been aged for a long time, it should be written on the label. I tried to check the brewery's information, but it went bankrupt! They went bankrupt! It's a good thing I went to the brewery last. It's a pity, because the Junmai Genzake was a delicious sake with a good price. Rating 3.5 (out of 5.0) 20240301

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

I'm not feeling well, so I've been trying to cut back on my drinking, but a classmate from junior high school, who I haven't seen in a while, invited me out for a drink and I ended up having one. Oh well. I found a nice bottle of Naotora and had it. It's so good that I remember it tastes good even when I'm drunk. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, but the freshness is dominant and the flavor is good. Isn't the difference between it and the ordinary Naotora too drastic?

Japanese>English

I drink at a restaurant where young people seem to congregate. The owner, who says he is a big fan of Koyama Shoten, introduces us to some Koyama Shoten originals. Next to Tamitsu is Naotora. This is a brand that is not often drunk by individuals. So I can't compare this one with the regular version, but it was delicious. It was a little bit tangy.

Japanese>English

Another bottle opened for Valentine's Day🥂. It's been waiting in the fridge for a while. I'm a little worried... It's sweet and fruity with a strong flavor. But the bitterness afterwards is quite strong. ‼︎ And a little bit of hiney aroma... "The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and flavor is very popular. The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and umami is very popular". I was a bit disappointed in this one 😓.

I told the owner of Jutoku Sake Sales Office what I liked and he recommended this sake. He said it was fruity and refreshing. It's definitely sweet, but not overpowering. It was my first time to try green, and it was delicious.

Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness flows smoothly and lingers along with the bitterness.

Exquisite floral taste. With Kaiseki dinner at Machiyado Ichiryu restaurant Takayama. Local Hida sake.
