It's so, so thick! The color is brown like soy sauce, and the taste is ripe like Shaoxing wine... I had it warmed. It was my first time 🎵.

It is a blend of four types of old sake made in the year of the Rabbit (1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011) and junmai sake made in the year of the Heisei 30.

A brewery that specializes in aged sake serves sake made for aged sake as undiluted sake. It's been about two years since it was made, so maybe it's been sleeping in the shop? It doesn't have a nigori feeling at all. It has a certain aged feeling, but it's clearly different from the old one. It's not fruity, but it's sweet. It is not fruity but sweet. The sourness is strong and it is like a thick honey. It is sweet, but some people may feel the alcohol in the latter half is pungent.

Japanese>English

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

Rich sweetness similar to caramel. Refreshing acidity, not cloying. The aroma is savory and lingers for a long time. It may be good as a stand-alone wine without snacks. Nihonharu, Gohyakumangoku. Vinegared motsu and

Since they had a lot of Kumamoto sake on hand, let's try to compare them! Unfortunately, they did not have any Kumamoto sake! There were some brands that we had tried before, so let's compare the first ones! I liked the name of Semi Junmai Ginjo, so I decided to try one type 🆗. It is a Junmai Ginjo, so there is no bitterness, but as expected, it is a little heavy! It also goes down your throat nicely! Sipping it while eating stick dumplings! This restaurant has a wide variety of sake cups! With this small beer glass, you can have just a little bit of what you want to drink! After you finish drinking, you can wash the beer glass with the large glass of "peace water" that was brought to us and dilute your body with the water. Now, we still have a lot of sake to drink, so let's get started! extensive knowledge This product is based on the image of cicadas, which spend their long larval period underground, and sake, which is matured and laid down in the cool depths of a warehouse. Ingredients: Rice (produced in Yamato Town, Kumamoto Prefecture), Rice malted rice (produced in Yamato Town, Kumamoto Prefecture) Raw materials: Yamadanishiki and Hananishiki Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15% (15 degrees Celsius) Sake degree +3 Acidity 1.6

I got it back from a thieving cat 🐈‍⬛ about this time last year. The green raccoon he was eating at the time. I erased one 🐈‍⬛, all that's left is this 🐈‍⬛ Thieving Cat🐈‍⬛ is delicious❤️, not pretty to the taste, but easy to drink❤️, and goes well with Green Raccoon❤️ I'm so disappointed 😫. The other cat is Manako, right? Why is it him? ‼️I'm a 100% pure woman who drank with him, why not me? ‼️ Is it the green raccoon? What? Hana-kun⁉️ I was eating a green raccoon and I made a mistake❤️ She's a 100% screwed up girl! She's definitely prettier than him and it's so annoying‼️ He's not the cat burglar, is he? He stole a raccoon ⁉️ He stole a raccoon dog from our lady: ‼️ He's a raccoon thief‼️ He didn't steal a man‼️ Take back your thieving cat comment‼️ Thinly veiled appeal to good friends and good women, makes me want to vomit 🤢. You are a good old man and disgusting 🤮. If you're going to erase someone, erase the person who should be erased the most 😄. If you're going to do it, do it first😄. What's Manta, Poochie 🤣 dog ⁉️ I'm not sure. Are you a cat or a dog? Is it a dog? Is it a raccoon? I'll let my ample pectoral muscles do the talking here: ❤️ ... ... ... Oh shit, now I only have two choices 🤣. Sorry for being a doofus, tehepero❤️ It's time to get serious about exterminating them😄

Nishioka Honten, Makabe, Sakuragawa, Ibaraki, Japan Purchase at Sengoku, Honda Sake Shop Old sake style ❗️ I thought it was brewed in 2028, but it says it's an aged sake. Aromatic, deep sweetness, umami, and a slow, melt-in-your-mouth feeling of cocoa or cacao: ☺️ I want to taste it slowly on my tongue 😉. Good with darker snacks like miso! Good sake 🍶.

Japanese>English

Aromatic aroma with no unpleasant taste. Although it is a daiginjo, it has a slight spiciness. Not too sweet and easy to drink. It seems to go well with meat.

It is a gift! Plenty of malted rice. Put it in a barrel. Isn't this whiskey? It smells faintly like it. Take a sip. Yeah, it's not whiskey... is it?　It's sake! My first experience.　Yum!

It has a slightly yellowish color and a peculiar, strong taste. Still, the aftertaste is sharp and sweet. Can be served with sashimi.

7.5 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content : 15 Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed Sake Degree : Undisclosed Store where purchased : After all is said and done, Japanese face (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly amber in color. Slightly full-bodied rice malt top-drinker The aroma is like soy sauce behind the same aroma of the top rise, and the firm umami of rice and the moderate sweetness spreads zingily with soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice aroma with a moderate bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It has a mellow and unique aroma, a deep flavor, and a strange impression that does not feel heavy, making it a good match for strong-flavored meals. Even as a stand-alone sake, its mysterious impression is addictive. It goes well with grilled bonito, dashimaki egg with shrimp, teppanyaki hormone of Hikoma pork, and motsu (pork bone) stewed tofu.

Junmai Ahusu Nama Genshu "acid high" limited edition‼️. What kind of brewing method is it? 🤔 Very sour and unique tasting sake 😳. I'm being cheeky not knowing the normal afs, but it was a stylish sake, more overly yellow in colour than other afs❣️.

At home. The color is eye-catching. It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, with soda, or hot, but I had it on the rocks. I can't deny that the aroma is pulled in by the color, but it smells like red wine? And grainy? It's quite special. When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and sour taste stands out, and at the beginning of the drink, you feel a unique and strong sourness. It was a gem that I have never drunk before.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed from ancient rice. The color is reddish. It may be a good challenge for those who cannot drink sake. The acidity is strong and I found it similar to the taste of Shaoxing sake. It is not suitable for those who are looking for a standard sake, but in a sense, it may be a sake that matches the times, as we now live in a world that demands diversity.

Japanese>English

( *´艸`)🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is also my first time to see Ine in full bloom😃. I bought this at a souvenir shop in Amanohashidate✨. When poured into a glass, it is a purple colored liquor💜The aroma is like a mild grape🍇😚and in the mouth it tastes like a grape again, with a good balance of sweet and sour 😊👍It tastes like Shaoxing wine or red wine 😘It is a delicious liquor and I finished off 300ml 😋. The fourth picture is my first crotchless shot 📸 at Amanohashidate 😁It was a beautiful view ✨🥳.

Purchased at the HYOGO SAKE EXPO. The aroma is of aged aroma like Shaoxing wine. The hint of gunpowder-like aroma. I think it is clean and easy to drink for an aged wine. I thought it would be good to drink with fruits and sweets. The acidity is a nice accent. Perhaps because it is a daiginjo, it feels fruity even though it is an aged sake.

Japanese>English

This sake was recommended at the brewery. It is a luxurious evening sake with the aroma of rice. Warming it up increases its richness and flavor.
