This is another Michinoku favorite, Fukushi Shiboritate nama-shu, new rice, new sake. It has a fruity aroma with a hint of fruitiness. It has a bit of sweetness, but the bitterness finishes it off, making it a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

This Sake has a full mouth feel and a rich flavor. It has the flavor of sweet melon. There is also a bit of acid at the finish to give this a clean aftertaste. Very nice!

I had it cold and warmed. Cold sake has a fluffy aroma and umami, while warmed sake has a robust umami. I like it 😊.

At a tasting at a local liquor store. It was quite fruity, but felt light and insufficient for an unfiltered sake.

Japanese>English

On the Shinkansen, we open another bottle of Nara Sake, Kisenju✨. The palate is sweet and sour and yogurt-like. It is light and pleasantly schwishy. It is easy to drink even in a tipsy state! It is also gorgeous and strawberry-like, so it feels like strawberry yogurt. And the last one is Yamazaki 12 years old from sake. We ended our trip with a glass of Shinkansen Gokukkatai ice cream 😌. There are still many places I want to visit, so I will visit Kansai again if I have a chance...!

After a long time. The flavor and spiciness from the attack is substantial to the end.

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

Moving on to Ganko Sushi at Eki Marche in Umeda. Sake from a sake brewery near Tsujunkyo Bridge, a sightseeing spot in Kumamoto. This sake has a moderate flavor of rice. It went well with the sushi! It was delicious. 🙆‍♂️

Happy New Year! After making Zoni, I finally had my first drink. I started the year with Kaneizumi, which I received from a friend the day before yesterday. The aroma is good, but the taste is sweet and fruity at first, followed by a refreshing acidity that lingers in the mouth, and finally the taste of rice lingers. The sweet and fruity taste fills the mouth at first. According to my friend, he has been drinking Kaneizumi since the old days when it was made by Horimoto Shuzo. and then it was taken over by Aihara Shuzo of Amego no Tsuki with the toji-san. After the brewery went out of business and was succeeded by Aihara Brewery It is said to be his favorite sake even after he took over the brewery with the master brewer. I look forward to working with you again this year. Degree of alcohol content: 16%, Rice polishing ratio: 40

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) Very rich rice-derived sweet flavor. Freshness is moderate and dry. This is the royal road to deliciousness! I don't see many dry sake in Nagano Prefecture, but the occasional dry sake has a rich, mellow flavor.

#Funabori# SENDAI-YA My favorite liquor store in my neighborhood is not open because of GW 😭. It's not open 😭. The first time I visited this liquor store, wine is the mainstream. The first time I visited the liquor store, wine was the mainstream and there was no sake. The only one I bought was a little sweet, but it was delicious. It's a little sweet, but it's delicious. It was 880 yen for a four-pack... It was served with dinner, and it was indeed sweet, but not too much... and it had a good flavor... It was very cosy 😆😆. It was easy to drink, and it was empty in no time😅😅.

I bought some fire-activated nigori at the co-op because it looked interesting... so much moromi... ！！！！！ I looked it up and found that there is also active nigoromi... Sorry I only have a picture of it after mixing! I know the nigori in Niidashizenshuu and the nigori in this season's Sasasamune have a lot of moromi, but this is probably even better than that! The impact is amazing! Isn't it about 70-80% of the bottle? What is this? When you drink it... it's thick! As you can see, the rice flavor is coming forward. There is a slight alcohol taste, but it also has a banana smoothie-like flavor that is not too classic, making it easy to drink. It is thick, but if you cool it down and drink it, it is surprisingly easy to drink. In any case, it is quite strong, so it would be good with Chinese dishes with strong flavors. It would be better with Chinese food that has a strong flavor, such as stewed eggplant, grilled fish, or simmered dishes, as the richness of the sake would drown it out. I think I'll try it with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd sauce. LOL! Thankfully, it is fire-roasted, so you can drink it slowly and leisurely over several days. It doesn't lose its flavor and is very useful when the food has a strong taste.

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

A reminder of our outing on 12/9🍶. We enjoyed it deliciously(^-^)/

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

I bought this Suzune for my wife who wanted to drink it 😛 lol The gasiness is still the same, but the rice flavor and acidity are there, but the impression is a little lighter than Suzune. I think I like this one better because it's more refreshing✨.

146th bottle. Sweet, slightly effervescent, easy-drinking sake.

Japanese>English

The taste was delicious and reminded me of cider, which I haven't had in decades. It was a carbonated beverage that didn't feel like alcohol. It was one of the five bottles I purchased two weeks ago at the Fukushima Prefecture Tourism and Products Museum. My eldest daughter invited me to take the third sector Abukuma Express train to Fukushima station for the first time. Due to the cooler, I couldn't take too much home, so I also bought a 300 ml bottle.
