Bought in Aizu (No.1) This is the first time to buy this brand. It was delicious and had a Junmai-shu feel to it.

Japanese>English

The rice is Fukunokou. This is also not found in Kansai, so I bought it. The aroma is slightly pineapple. It is fruity but a little dry and refreshing. Slight sweetness. I was told it was dry, but I didn't feel it was that dry. It's light, but it may not be enough for some people.

We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

Japanese>English

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

Hinohikari. The richness of the rice flavor is gutsy. Slightly hiney feeling.

Mishio Junmai Ginjo Omachi 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15-16%. Sake meter degree +2, acidity 1.8 (reference) Fat 5/7, opened 5/23 I wanted to drink a dry sake from Kochi and was attracted by the label that looked like a pattern of playing cards I used to have at my parents' house 🤣. The brand "Bishio" is a new brand that started in 2014. It is one of the Junmai Ginjo series that is based on the concept of "elegant sweetness reminiscent of honey" and is part of a trilogy that includes "Kitashizuku", "Gin no Yume", and "Omachi". The aroma is almost imperceptible after opening the bottle. In the mouth, it has a fruity, fruity aroma and flavor, but at the same time, the alcohol is very strong. The acidity is moderate and not harsh. The acidity is not too strong, but it's more spicy and tingling than the number 😅. I tried to drink it after 4 days, which is unusual for me, but although the mouthfeel got better, the strong alcohol feeling didn't go away. The aftertaste is light, so it would be classified as light-dry. It's like a Tosa sake in that respect 😊. Unfortunately, it didn't suit me and was disappointing 😅. Oh! Maybe I should have tried heating it up 🤔.

Japanese>English

Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I had never seen "Mishio" before.

Japanese>English

A beautiful sweetness spreads in the mouth. After that, it's dry, to say the least. I like this sweetness. It is not persistent. 88 points Sweetness: 3.4 Acidity: 2.4 Dryness:3 Hinted aroma:3.1

At Kaki-numa. I'm not sure how many times I've heard of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Lucky👍 I bought a bottle of autumn wine 😋 for good measure. Just the right amount of age! The flavor of the food tickles my autumnal appetite 😅 It's the season for good drinks and snacks 😁

Japanese>English

First time drinking this flavor! Slightly dry with a slight effervescence. Refreshing, pear flavor. Summer sake! It tastes strange.

Japanese>English

A perfect sake for the coming season. It went right into my mouth and felt refreshing.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

Holly in Aomori, Japan. First of all, ❣️ bottles are cute (((o(♡´▽`♡)o)))) I bought it thinking it would taste gorgeous. I bought it thinking it would taste gorgeous, but it didn't. It's a calm and sweet 😋. I had it with 🥒 and myoga 🎶. I'll use the jar as a single flower vase 🌸

Japanese>English

The aroma is milder than expected, but slightly apple-like. When you drink it, the sugar sweetness and syrupiness are quite strong, but it is closer to a dry sake than expected, and it goes down quickly. It is better at room temperature, as it has a more modern apple sweetness. The limited edition sake might have been better, but it is not too modern, nor is it too classic.

Japanese>English

As the brand name suggests, the acidity of this sake is like a breeze that passes through you comfortably. It is delicious, but it may taste even better on the second day when it has mellowed after being exposed to air.

8 points (wife: 7 points) Alcohol content: 14 degrees Celsius Sake meter: +2 Acidity: 1.2 Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio : 60 Yeast : Nadeshiko flower yeast Where to buy : Japanese Restaurant Kusabanaraku (Nagasaki City) Slightly floral melon-like top The same fruity aroma as the first sip, a moderate sweetness, and the umami of rice spread with a soft acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. The dryness of the alcohol gives this sake a good sharpness in spite of its aroma, giving it a classical impression in the latter half of the bottle. It is more suitable as a mid-meal drink than as a stand-alone sake. It went well with grilled sea bream, various sashimi, simmered pork, simmered sea bream, fried fish, and other dishes made by my wife's brother.

Japanese>English

This is the first time I drink this brand. It's clean with little miscellaneous flavors, and there's something about it that makes me want to try other kinds.

Japanese>English

Yoshidaya and Mansho Hanegi Press in Minamishimabara, Nagasaki. Hanegi Shibori is a traditional method of pressing rice with a giant tree called Hanegi. It has a slightly yellowish color, and the mouthfeel is very sharp, but does not leave a lingering aftertaste. It has a good rice flavor and is very much like a Japanese sake.

☀️ I went to the Yamagata Sake Fair 🤗. It's raining unfortunately ☔️ Rain outdoors is a pain in the ass😅. First, let's start with Hanabayo. ◾️Hanabayo Clean, sweet, slightly bitter, but easily swallowed and tasty without any peculiarities. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Daiginjo Sweet and smooth on the tongue 😋. The sake seems to float fluffy on the tongue. It has a rich aroma and fills you up with just sake 😊. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Junmai Daiginjo This one is also sweet and smooth. The same fluffy tongue on the tongue. It has little fragrance, but there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste and fullness in the flavor. I could tell the difference between Junmai and Alten 🤗. Both are worthy of a beautiful sake 🥰.

It was a gift at the beginning of the year. I remember drinking it for the first time last year and it was very tasty. This year is no different, with a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that goes well with refreshing food. (Today, I had kamaboko as a snack.) Japanese sweets made with azuki beans would also go well with this drink! I hope we can drink it again next year!
