Fresh Fizzy Cooled Sake Melon-flavored Umami Acidity Slow-sipping

Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Japanese>English

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.

Clear and ripe with no clutter ‼️ Slightly sweet taste: 👍🏻 Tingling, long-lasting ✨✨✨.

Japanese>English

bamboo shoots boiled, sliced, fermented, dried or preserved in salt, then soaked in hot water and sea salt When it is cooled down to a crisp, you can feel the aroma of maturity, and when it is on your tongue, the sourness and sweetness are gradually released. Delicious. When heated, it has a soft and gentle sweetness and a sourness at the end. It tastes even better when warmed. So it was heated in the mouth. Purchased on 10/25 at the opening of the brewery. It is a special limited edition sake made from Koshihikari rice and aged in a cool place in the brewery. I also enjoyed the explanation of the sake by the toji (master brewer). It is an attractive sake brewery, but access by public transportation is a hurdle.

Takashimaya Sake Festival This is the first time for Inatahime. The aroma was not so strong, but the taste of rice came out in a mild flavor, and the mouthfeel was very pleasant. It was delicious 😁.

Japanese>English

I decided to make a last spurt to conquer the whole country 🤣Tottori and Shimane, I don't get to see them very often so I popped a bottle 😂I'm opening it all at once👍. First, Inatahime‼️. The name is "Gouriki rice". The name sounds powerful😁. The flavor comes fast and furious! The sweetness is only slightly perceptible and the sharpness finishes quickly😋. When you drink it with octopus wassa, the sweetness also appears and it is delicious👍.

Japanese>English

I ordered this brand because I was somewhat curious about the name, but the last glass was less than half the amount I ordered. It was quite tasty, but I wanted to taste a little more. I hope I will be able to encounter it again.

Sake of Aichi after a long time. I miss it.

Japanese>English

I visited Araiya Brewery for an in-store tasting of Sekiya Brewery's sake, which I couldn't taste because I had to drive afterwards 😅. Sake that has been aged for only one year and bottled. I tried to hold off on opening it until New Year's, but my fridge was at capacity 🤣🤣 so I opened it 😅. Well, the aroma is green apple 🍏, soft mouthfeel, fresh sweetness and delicious flavor with a sourness that slowly builds up ✨. On the second day, I think the sweetness has deepened. I've read that it's recommended to cool it down a little bit, so if you let it sit for a while after pouring it, the sweetness and umami will deepen and become more intense ✨.

The first sake was a souvenir from Ibaraki by my eldest son and his wife. A sake with a delicious taste of rice 🍶. Thank you for caring about us❗❗

Japanese>English

A liquor designed to go with cheese, with a view to exporting to Italy. Aroma is mild Slightly milky On the palate, banana flavor with a light sweetness, alcohol taste, and a bitter aftertaste The mouthfeel is sour and greenish, but it settles down as the day goes by. Pairing with cheese It is said to be designed to go well with blue cheese, but for common people, snow brand 6-pack cheese is fine! The sweetness of the sake matches the rich saltiness of the cheese. The slight sourness also accentuates the taste, which is interesting!

Japanese>English

Deep flavor. A sense of solidity that is typical of sake in its original state.

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.

The freshly squeezed aroma... The sourness is strong on the palate, and there is a bitter aftertaste... Is it because it is freshly squeezed? It's a little rough. It's a good choice to drink with tuna and squid sashimi.

Japanese>English

The first Kinokuniya Bunzaemon! It has the fresh aroma of unpasteurized sake and a smooth, non-viscous mouthfeel. When you drink it, the spiciness comes quickly, but in the end, it disappears, leaving the flavor of rice and a lingering aftertaste. It has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees, which makes it very drinkable, but it is also very refreshing and tasty.

Japanese>English

Here's another one that was given to me. The aroma of the sake is very alcoholic. The taste is sweet and delicious. The aroma is the sake! You can feel a little acidity and bitterness in the finish. I think it is a bottle with a moderate heaviness in total. The taste is similar to that of Kadoden from among the already-checked-in products. The efficacy report says it is good at room temperature to warmed sake. It's a solid sake, so it's best not to chill it too much. It's good for summer! It was not a good one! Thank you for the food!

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

Japanese>English

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

Japanese>English

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

The Year of the Rabbit will soon be over, so I decided to open the bottle. Time flies............................................. When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is full of bitterness like chocolate. The mouthfeel is surprisingly mellow and rough, and the taste is very chocolaty. The balance between sweet and astringent umami and mildness makes it seem that way, and it is a delicious taste that can only be described as chocolate ✨. It has a unique old sake taste, but I think it is one of the easiest to drink! And the aftertaste is also choco choco choco... 🍫. It was the first time for me to buy and drink it properly, but I guess it is delicious because it is from an old sake brewery! If I see it again, I'll buy it 😌.

Japanese>English

Daruma-san is always available at my favorite izakaya that serves kusetsu-tsuyo sake 🪆. I bought it with the hope that 3 years of aging would make it a versatile player...? I bought it with high hopes 🍶. As it turns out, it's not so much a versatile sake as it is the best sake when heated lukewarm: ♨️ It has an aroma like caramelized nuts and a rich sweetness that spreads 🥜. It was perfect with gratin or anything warm and creamy in winter 🐄. I think even those who have no experience with aged sake can drink this without any resistance. I think this is a bottle that even those who have never experienced aged sake will be able to enjoy it without hesitation 🍶. I wish I could have photographed it while it was still in its colored contents 😭

Japanese>English

After a first visit to a liquor store or a first visit to a department store to buy sake, we went to Ikoma. A customer gave him a bottle of sake😁. It's so golden in color after 3 years 😹. It seems to be aged at room temperature 😅. It's like the Notoji I drank the other day, but I think this one is more beautiful 🤔. I drank it cold, but I guess it's generally a heated type of sake, but I thought I'd rather drink it at room temperature. It's sweet but has a strong sense of maturity, so I guess it's not to everyone's taste 💦.
