Omachi rice + Hakuto yeast used Junmai sake produced by the TAKEO 20 Project, a collaboration of agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students, using specially cultivated Omachi rice from Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City. The label looks modern! This one is definitely fruity 😆. Fruity sweet and sour Light and easy to drink Hiruzen style yakisoba noodles and umaumaumauma 🐎. I bought a lot of kamaboko at Sakaiminato because they are easy to carry and store 🐟. The crab has a very interesting shape and I can't stop smiling just looking at it 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀. I found out about it thanks to the Kenmin Show program 😁.

This is my first bottle of "Ishichi" Asahi rice, one of the brands that got me into the sake swamp. It has a nutty, savory, full-bodied flavor with a strong impression of rice sweetness rather than a fruity sweetness 🤤. I knew it! Great cosmetics too 😆.

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

It was delicious!

It has the freshness of freshly squeezed rice, the acidity unique to Yamada Nishiki, and a slightly sour taste. It is not suitable for beginners...it is a traditional Japanese sake...

I had my first bottle of Shinshin in spring and it was delicious! I was able to get a bottle of Shinshin's summer sake, and I immediately opened it 😋. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste like summer sake🤣. It's as refreshing as the label says and perfect for a hot day like today 👍 thanks for the drink❗️

It's been a while since I've had Okayama sake. This is the first time I've had Shinshin, but it's refreshing, easy to drink, and makes an excellent food sake. It's delicious😌. I'd like to try other kinds of Shinshin or Winter Moon.

At Izakaya It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and is fruity. It has a nice lingering finish with just the right amount of umami and acidity. Rice: Hitomebore produced in Gunma Prefecture

Japanese>English

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Japanese>English

This is the second of two bottles of Kantou no Hana (Kanto no Hana), Junmai Daiginjo, purchased at the direct sales store of Sei Shuzo where we stopped on our way back home. The label is the same as the first bottle of Junmai-Daiginjo-Active Sake, with three-dimensional foil-stamped letters on a raised surface. As the label on the back of the bottle says, this nama-zake seemed to be a limited edition for direct retailers. As soon as the bottle is uncorked, it has a sweet and fruity aroma. When poured into a glass, the color is pale yellow. As is typical of nama-shu, tiny air bubbles drifted in the air, giving the impression of freshness even visually. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma. From the aroma, I imagined a modern taste, but when I drank it, I was surprised to find that it also has a classical flavor. It has a strong umami flavor with a mild acidity, so it does not feel heavy. The classical sake character seems to come solely from the crisp alcohol taste. The bitterness and astringency are kept in check, and the lingering aftertaste is faint and fades away due to the clear flavor with little clutter that only a daiginjo can offer. Like the Junmai Ginjo Activated Sake, this Junmai Daiginjo is a sake with a wide range of characteristics. It was a bottle that made me suddenly interested in other sake made by Seishuzo.

The one in the middle (so it won't change) Slightly pear aroma, as expected from Chiba? (The name is plum). Gentle sweetness spreads slowly. However, there is a pungency that lingers afterwards.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

Japanese>English

This is a summer nigori that I buy every year. I buy it every year - I know it's good. And every time I buy it, I spend 10 minutes struggling to open the bottle, Gasp! This year I was able to open it easily. First, let's take a sip of the supernatant, It's delicious, weakly fruity, with just the right amount of spiciness. I don't care about the fizz, it's just a shake, I hope it doesn't blow out, The result is that it did not blow out. The result was that it didn't blow out, But there is still sedimentation at the bottom. Delicious - finished in 2 days, The last sedimentation part was tasty with more flavor and more umami. I felt like I had gained something by being able to taste three different levels of deliciousness. I took a break from beer today and am now breaking in my bike. I saw the sea in the San-in region.

Japanese>English

I bought it again this year, I used to go to the sake brewery every year to buy it, But this year, I was too busy with work to go to the brewery, I remember that last year, the liquor store where I often buy sake sold it, So...., I visited there because it is close to my office, Are you going to put summer sake in this year? I ordered some, but it didn't come, The owner calls the brewery on the spot, The owner called the brewery on the spot. What's this year's? It's a little bitter, A little bitter? It doesn't linger, so I'll go for it, It's summer, It's eel bowl. If you buy eel on the day of the Ushi, it is expensive, so I saved the date, And I had accumulated points at the supermarket, Today, we had wine instead of beer. It is a wine made in Sera Town, the town of Ekiden. It has a strong grape flavor and is very tasty.

Home Drinking with Neighborhood Drinkers We can't drink with a big group yet, but... A little drinking party. This is a sake from a nearby brewery. It is a sake with a good taste.

Japanese>English

Aroma of rich sake. Somewhat bitter and bluish as well. Aroma like mellow, aromatic, apricot liquor. The flavor has body. In the latter half, the acidity is very tight. It has a firm umami taste. It goes well with pickled bonito, but I would like to try it with something sweeter. I would like to try it with shigure-ni-nimono (simmered bonito). Degree of preference ☆3/5
