The freshness of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake harmonizes with the rich umami flavor, expanding the depth of the taste!

The first Okushika was made in H29BY. At room temperature, it has a mildly matured taste with a strong acidity. When heated, it has a mild burnt taste and a strong sharpness with acidity.

The second sake is a sake that has been laid to rest for three years. Okushika. Oily food goes well with it, but it is also quite hard-boiled with a sense of danger at 18 degrees alcohol. It is delicious, though. It goes especially well with fried foods and strong meals. Try it with shimarakko tempura. Rice used: Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18

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

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.

A souvenir from Niigata. The sake was a draft sake, but for a Niigata sake, it was dense and heavy. It is strong, but still easy to drink without the characteristic aroma of hi-ire.

Preferred: ★★★★☆☆ Cold sake: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Cold: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Lukewarm: ★★★★ When cold or chilled, it has an impressive aftertaste of bitterness and a slight gaseous sensation. When heated, the gaseous sensation subsides and a moderate aroma spreads, and a slight sweetness can be felt after the restrained bitterness. The common characteristics are a good balance of sharpness, aroma, and flavor. Serve with rolled egg, sardine nigiri, and warm udon noodles.

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 🤗.

Caramelly
Smells like caramel, baked apples, ripe. Yellowish liquid. Taste of caramel and a bit of sweetness and acidity. I opened the bottle as soon as I bought it, but the shipment was a year ago.

Ota Sake Brewery in Shiga, which brews Doukan. This is my first time to try this brand 🍶. It is a rich, robust, unadulterated sake. It is easy to drink without any peculiarities. It has a mild sweetness.

At my usual restaurant This week I was full time for five days after the holidays. so I couldn't wait for the weekend to arrive. The first sake was this one! It was freshly cut so it was a bit bubbly. It was freshly cut so it was a little fizzy. ☺️ The side dish was pork belly cartilage with ponzu sauce!

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.
Drinks consumed at the lunch buffet I had the impression that it had been available in all restaurants for a long time. The taste was "safe". Low alcohol content, no peculiarities Good for lunchtime drinking.

We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 4th glass! Koshino-Hachiho Junmai Sake This is also a brand new to me! It is a light and dry sake with the main flavor of rice. It is a typical food sake that does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Nice to meet you too, Mr. Uonuma. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it is a little more modern and dry. It has a soft umami flavor that quickly fades away. This is quite a tasty dry 🍶✨. I think my dad would like it.

Hakkaisan's Uonuma Limited Edition Sake Strong aroma of rice. Mellow taste. Away from the modern style. Best with fatty fish. Maybe better warmed.

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.

Visit the "Tenzan Early Summer Brewery Opening", and bought a limited edition of last year's freshly squeezed I still have a weakness for the word "limited edition". As usual, I have a weakness for the word "limited". The sake was slightly thawed and cooled down to the perfect temperature, The moment you put it in your mouth, the good aroma and flavor spreads, The sake is also cooler on the throat, The sake is even clearer and more pleasant to the taste, It was delicious. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts. I am looking forward to drinking the sake as it gradually melts.

Tenzan Junmai Ginjyo Nama Pink Light Nigori It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle because it was too active! It took about 30 minutes to open the bottle 🤯. It has a sweet and sour taste like strawberries, as is typical of sake with red yeast, but the gas is so strong that it tastes like carbonated juice without soda! It's like a carbonated juice without soda! There are still some red yeast sake that I don't know about, I'll have to look into it more!
