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 😌.

☆☆☆☆☆ 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 this sake at Nishizawa Shoten, a liquor store in front of Kawayuonsen station in Teshikaga-cho❗ I went to the south for the first time to try a sake I had never had before 😊I see this sake is made by Miyoshino Brewery, which brews Hanaboe 😃. The color is amber as you can see! It has a rich and sweet taste like an aged sake! I think it has the feeling of being organic due to the Yamahai method 😋. I would like to have a bottle with something salty like cheese or cured ham 😉.

Japanese>English

It had just the right amount of sweetness for me. (Leaning towards sweet) I would drink it again.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Sake cups purchased on my trip #4 This is my first time with Kenrishi ✨. The aroma is full of umami 🤔. On the palate, it has a caramel-like aroma, sweetness and depth of flavor, yet it's clean, crisp and easy to drink 🥰It's a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

This time we changed things up a bit and bought a bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishi❣️, which we fell in love with at first sight because of the shape of the bottle and the coolness of the label. I had it lukewarm with my homemade oden🍢🙏. It's also good that you can heat up the whole bottle in a ding-dong! It has a bit of an alcoholic aroma, but I don't mind it too much. It's just as spicy and easy to drink 😮❗️ It's like an evolution of the classic type of sake? and I enjoyed it with food 😚. The bottle is stylish and I'd like to keep a bottle in stock for when I want a little heated sake 👍 Thanks for the food!

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

"Believing in something is a responsibility. Even if the result of believing is not as you expected, it is your responsibility. "I don't recommend it as a liquor store. But if you're buying it for yourself, you might want to keep it at room temperature before drinking it, even though it's raw sake. Even if it fails, it is my responsibility to make the right choice, so don't worry. It's been one month since I stored it. The color is yellowish and reminds me of a strong taste. The aroma is fermented and ripe. In the mouth... the taste is juicy and complex, a true taste of rice! The initial specs are that it is a little dry, but as it ages, the sweetness is brought out and it is very Tsuchida-like. It has the flavor of a dense, rich, umami flavor that brings out so much of the rice flavor, and the flavor deepens more and more to the point that it cannot be described in a single word." This flavor!" The taste develops further from the point where the tongue catches it. On the other hand, if you put it in your mouth and drink it right away, you will be surprised at how easy it is to drink. This is too good to be true... I'm glad the drinker believes in the drinker... Next year, I'm going to try drinking it refrigerated. I wonder what it will taste like. PS...After another month of opening the bottle, a nice fermented aroma comes out. This one's good too!

It is served at room temperature. The color is a slight yellowish hue. The top aroma is mild, with a dark orange koji aroma. The mouthfeel is fresh, tangy, and slightly thickened. The strong sense of alcohol, The sweet, thick, milky lactic acidity and citrusy koji flavor are powerful. The aftertaste is smooth with a mild bitterness. It tastes just like the powerful word "Taiyo" on the label, which is very typical and good 😆. I bought some Hinepon, a specialty of Eigashima, as a souvenir and served it with new pickled turnips.

This is the Ageha no Mai Junmai Sake Gin no Sato. It is a sweet and delicious sake with a mild fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.

Japanese>English

The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Japanese>English

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet. The taste is soft sweetness with a hint of umami on top. It is a beautiful tasting food sake. Everyone drank it with smiling faces. It was delicious! (^O^)

Drunken Garden in Azumino, Shinshu. I was curious to buy it because it is 59% Hitogokochi, a Nagano Prefecture sake. As the label says, it is a refreshing sake with a delicious flavor. It is not at the top level of popular Nagano sake, but it has a glimpse of Nagano's sake character.
