When I hear "Tianshan", I think "Mongolian Chop"... It's not spicy, but it's very strong. It's very effective... As expected from Hirokichi Tenzan! I prefer a lighter taste, so it's a little harsh, but it works well.

Today, I went to Okushika after a long time. As expected of Okushika's Yamahai, it has a habit. It has a high acidity. It seems to become a habit as you drink it.

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Japanese>English

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Although it had some peculiarities, it was very tasty and easy to drink! I also enjoyed the crisp dry taste!

This is a gift from my mother-in-law who loves sake! It's very sweet and easy to drink!

Japanese>English

Taste of the Ancient Times Aroma reminiscent of old wood and steamed rice. The sharp mouthfeel is followed by a tangy, pungent taste. The taste is full of alcohol with a hint of umami, and finishes with a lingering pungent and astringent aftertaste. It gives the impression of good old tradition. It tastes like an old house. We would like to support this brewery as it is the nearest brewery to Okayama. ★★★★

Japanese>English

Bizen tasted Ichinomiya sake. The labeling was a bit dubious, with no indication of rice polishing ratio or alcohol content, and "Junmai Daiginjo" pasted on the label after the fact... The taste was fresh and light. The taste was fresh, light, and refreshing.

Looks like a new brewery: 🙇‍♂️ It's called sake, but it seems to be junmai (no mention of rice polishing ratio) 🌾. It rises with herbs, cream, and lychee ❔ pear ❔. The acidity is distinctive ❕, but it's not just light and fresh. But it's not just light, it's a solid, elegant, high quality sake ✨. I felt a very modern essence in a classic 🤔. And with this flavor, it is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm ❔. I tried it 🍶. Lukewarm changes the atmosphere of the acidity, it's sweet and sour like hot honey lemon 🍋. It's refreshing to begin with, but even more so: ☺️ It's also a great food sake 👍. I recommend drinking it cold to lukewarm, but after trying many different ways, I thought cold or lukewarm would be better 🤗.

Japanese>English

It has a strong umami taste of rice, with a good balance of sweetness and umami, and a roundness that makes it easy to pair with dishes with umami. It has a slight fruity flavor, so it does not interfere with dishes. It has a round taste with sweetness and umami. It is just the right sake.

Rice used is unknown. According to the owner of the sake shop, the sake is aged for three years, but there is no strong sense of aging, and it is a dry junmai-shu with a good acidity. It is a dry junmai-shu with a lot of acidity. The sweetness that spreads fluently and the spicy astringency in the latter half are very unique. After a few days, it becomes more crisp and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd like to have more of a woody or smoky flavor. Either way, it's not a type that will appeal to everyone. The mainstay of this brewery is Yamahai brewing, so it will be interesting to see how peculiar it is.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild and reserved Crisp, pungent and refreshing on the palate.

Japanese>English

The last one is Tafresh, a local sake from Yokote. I've never seen two kanji characters lined up by this person before😅. A spicy to refreshing drink. Might be similar to the 7 spears I had before 🤔. This one was also delicious.

Sweet aroma like amazake with a strong aftertaste. Tasting.

When it gets cold, I want to drink hot sake. Speaking of hot sake, I also like sweet sake, so up until now I had been drinking brewed sake from Ofuku. But when I saw a bottle of Harazake at the store, I thought I'd give it a try. It was quite sweet, and it was junmai, and I don't know what that means, but it was called hara-sake. I thought I would choose Yamadanishiki for sweet sake, but I was wrong.

Of all the sake I encountered in Okayama Kurashiki, this was the best and cheapest. In the Bikan Historical Quarter, the price is based on the souvenir price, but this is a very everyday price. It was dark but not sweet, very mellow and dry, with a fizzy, bubbly taste, and none of the unpleasantness of aluzochu. The brewer explained a lot about it to us. I learned a lot. Thank you very much 😄. The person in charge personally recommended this as the best, and it was indeed the best.

Japanese>English

Bicchu tasted a sake from Kurashiki. The taste was more refreshing and refined than I remembered from my previous tasting. It was a very tasty sake with a rough but cool flavor.

Japanese>English

Very spicy! It is not so much hot as it is spicy, and the combination with seafood is perfect! The famous phrase is ''sharp and refreshing, man is dry''.

Miyamanishiki. The sweetness of the flavor is refreshing. The aftertaste is cohesive.

Japanese>English

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.

Japanese>English

I was attracted by the sake name and the cute label. It has a clean and refreshing taste without any habits. I literally wish spring would come soon.
