Drinking outside. Not to be counted on due to drunkenness. This is a brand new to me. The color is dark and you can tell when you taste it. It has an old sake-like aroma, full-bodied rice flavor, and acidity. It was served cold at this restaurant, but I guess it should be served warm.

Ozeki Aluminum Can Karatamba Junmai Genzake Dry. It's a very hot and tasty sake when served at room temperature 🤗It's 17 degrees Celsius 😅.

Japanese>English

Type: honjozo, polishing rate: 70%, SMV: +7, acidity: 1.4, alc.: 15% This is a classic. Aromatic honjozo. I could smell alcohol. Flavor is dry and light. Suitable for almost any kind of dish.

Light and dry, with a crispness that does not interfere with meals. It goes well with shiny sashimi! Sake that has no habits and a pleasant texture on the tongue that I like.

January 29, 2024 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I had a casual drink with my junior colleague who recently got into Sake. The fourth glass was my first sake, Miyako Bijin The fourth glass was a freshly squeezed, light nigori sake of Miyako Bijin, which is a first for me. It is silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness). Silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness). The taste is silky, sweet and bitter (bitterness is weak) with a clean, fresh mouthfeel that does not give the impression of being Fresh taste with no alkaloids. Delicious with bamboo shoot tempura It was delicious with bamboo shoot tempura, which is the first time for me to drink it.

This is our first sake. It is Miyako Bijin Yamahai Tokujunmai Dark Blue Label Nama Genshu. It is a rich, sweet, sour and delicious sake with a lot of rice flavor.

three cups of Tsunite (three cups of sake) Rice used is Hachitan Nishiki Sanshiki has a punch, doesn't it? It has a good sense of maturity and a pungent spiciness. It also has a nice sharp aftertaste. ❗️ It's great to have this kind of sake in the lineup! It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I had it warmed up. I never get tired of drinking this sake.

Japanese>English

Like Kikutaka, it is no longer sold. Mie Nishiki Light Nigori, which has been sold out like Kikutaka. We procured this sake, which had been stored in ice temperature for eight years, from a well-known liquor store. Wow, this is impressive 😀.　The shwashiness is still there even after 8 years. The sweetness and acidity overflows, and the bitterness characteristic of Mie Nishiki's light cloudy taste creates a lingering aftertaste. Mie Nishiki makes you feel the bitterness is delicious. Oh, this, this, I used to love Mie Nishiki. The flow of time gives the taste a mellowness, and it has both freshness and maturity, two contradictory elements. It is delicious, deeply delicious. It was the night I vowed to drink this one again, little by little, over the course of a year.

Junmai Namaishige🍶 colander ✨Yamada Nishiki from Tottori Prefecture🌾. Warmed up with ♨️ It is spicy and a little bitter. It has a strong rice flavor and is easy to pair with a meal. It has a sense of maturity with its R3 brewing year. The label on the back says it can be mixed with soda, so I'd like to try it next time I come across it 🤔. Sake and Robata-yaki Unari @ Omiya

The ones that are not on the menu. There is a Chiyoda Kura and a Yukihikoyama, both unopened. I decided to go with Chiyoda Kura because I thought I could buy Yukihikoyama at a liquor store in my neighborhood. The taste is moderately sweet and tasty with a summery, crisp, spicy flavor. The impression is that it is quite sharp and clean.

Japanese>English

The aroma is modest for a daiginjo❗️. It has a clean taste, but It has a unique sweetness and aroma 😅 I wonder if it tastes like fukunohana❓ I guess it's good to drink as a food sake. It's a raw sake so I'd like to let it sit for a while and see how it tastes. I'm hoping for a change in taste❗️😊.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. It was sweet like a rich ripe fruit. It was good, but the one that was for sale seemed to have different specifications (I think it was a direct brew of special junmai?). No purchase.

Sweet aroma. Fresh and sweeter than expected. Unique sweetness like candy. Unique but interesting and delicious. The sweetness is like a floppy candy. More fruity than I expected, too. I think the Asahi Nikki Jusui Brewing I drank in the past also had a unique sweetness.

Japanese>English

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

A drinking friend of mine wanted to drink a bottle of Takezuru by Toshi Ishikawa, who has moved to Tsuki no I. So I agreed to accompany him. We had it heated. The first aroma is like a matured Shaoxing sake. The first sip had a matured Shaoxing sake-like aroma, and the second had a mildly sweet taste with a Shaoxing sake-like acidity and umami. The sweetness is still there, but it's the kind of fully fermented sake that you can drink while eating snacks. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I've been saving it for over 2 years because it's my favorite brand, but I've decided to open it up. I'm going to enjoy changing the flavor slowly from here ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it in, the aroma is like sweet baked sweets like sponge cake or kawara senbei. The mouthfeel is round and robust. It is round and robust on the palate, with a punch of spiciness and a tangy sourness. It also has a rich, thick flavor and a sweetness that spreads gradually. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter is exquisite, not just strong and heavy, and the taste has a wide range of deep flavors, including a confectionery, grain, and rice feel! This is the second brand that has really caught my attention after "Akagisan," and I am very happy with it. It is a bit pricey, but I would like to try the sake made from the original sake yeast if I see it 😌.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ I would love to drink the whisky Takezuru, but the sake Takezuru. This is probably my first time. Unlike the aroma, the taste is strong and robust. But it is surprisingly easy to drink. It smells a little like alcohol, but it is delicious.

I bought it because a liquor store in my neighborhood started handling Tajima. I was surprised at how fruity it was. It is fresh, moderately sweet, and delicious. It is a more modern sake than I expected. After drinking this after the first time, it feels more like a sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

This sake was tasted at the Kobe Hankyu event and made a good impression, and was highly praised by Nemuchi-san. A liquor store in my neighborhood became a special distributor, but I was wondering why they didn't carry this sake. It was in the fridge of a point system sake, so I thought 😅😅I thought, "No way, I can buy it normally. I thought so, but I was able to buy it normally😅. It's confusing💦. The rice is Hyogo Nishiki. Sweet aroma. It is fire-aged but has a quite rich flavor. It is better not to cool it down too much. It is a little smoky.
