This is the end of the New Year's sake. This is the most beautiful dry sake. The acidity is zero❗️. It is made by the taste of rice and bitterness.

Japanese>English

I was looking at the moon and it got cold... 😋. The flavor precedes the taste, but the bitterness soon rushes in.

Japanese>English

The alcohol content is 20 degrees. It is very strong. The sourness spreads and there is a faint umami taste. We hope to see you again this year.

It's not a scent... it's more of a... distinctive smell... and I can definitely tell it's fermented... lactic acid bacteria? Strong acidity! It's a very unique wine, so I think it's a very special drink. I think the flavor is a little more mellow on the second day after opening. It was well preserved, but... but does it really taste like this? That scent? It smells like fresh laundry... like an old wooden tub... and I don't like it... I don't...

Japanese>English

This was also purchased at Oka Sake Shoten, the same place as Unjaku. The aroma is mild but unique. The aroma is mild but unique, and it has a light aged feeling, probably because it has been shipped for a long time. If you drink it cold, it has some peculiarities, but overall it is flat. The umami acidity has a strong impact. It would be good to warm it up as well. According to the staff at the store, they won't be making PURE PINK this year. When heated, the sweet and savory flavor really shines through. I definitely recommend it over cold sake.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. It has a dark mouthfeel and a bit of maturity, but as the days go by, it becomes more rounded and changes to a level where even those who are not good at it can go. However, even though it has become more rounded and easier to drink, the sweetness and strength of the Omachi can still be clearly seen, so there will be different tastes. For me, it's a very interesting sake! The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it might be too peculiar to pair with a meal. However, from the second day onwards, while maintaining its richness, it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and is not bad as a food sake. If you roll it around in your mouth, it is a nicely aged sake, but if you drink it with gusto, you can drink it without worrying too much. Still, I want to enjoy the aged feeling of this kind of sake, so drinking it a little bit every day is good for me.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) The effect of oak barrels, or something quite close to whiskey, but the mellowness and acidity of sake is also alive! I know it's just my imagination, but I feel it's similar to the whiskey akashi. Of course, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have thought so. I also had a bottle of Junmai Namae in the heated sake corner, but my memory is a little fuzzy on whether or not my brain was getting the alcohol when I got here! I do remember that it was meant to be heated, but that's about it.

The classic sake-like character is quickly followed by a crisp acidity. The second half is very clean and crisp with no cloying taste. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

First of all, I cannot read Chinese characters. It was. I am sorry. But it is easy to drink because of its fruity taste. As it oxidizes, it has a spiciness to it, but it is still Nattori-like.

"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!

Junmai Nama Hashiroshi Nama Genjyu without filtration, apparently using a rice called Nojoho. It has a high alcohol content of 19 degrees. It is a sake that cannot be found in the Tokyo metropolitan area. It has a rich flavor.

Another Ishioka sake after Shiraga ❤️. This brewery is famous for Watafune and Taiheikai, but the main local sake is Fuchu Homare👍. By the way, yesterday's group consisted of 1 person in his 30s, 1 person in his 40s, 5 people in their 50s, and 2 people in their 60s, so it was fun to drink sake without worrying 😍! We drank 6 gos of Shiroshika, followed by a whole 4 gos bottle of this 😆. Fruity aroma of white grapes 😆. The taste goes down your throat with a grape-like sweetness and a white wine-like acidity. It's almost a white wine compared to the Shiraga we just had ❤️. The richness of the wine is so strong that I could enjoy it with menchikatsu ❤️.

Honjozo 🍶 Warmed up this one too. My wife says it has a complex taste 😅mature sweet flavor. I know I'm repeating myself, but the hoshiei liver sashimi is still a must-try 🎉I heard they don't always have it, so be happy if you can find it 😆. KUITTO@Yono 20230819

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ 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!

This will be my first time in Sanin Togo🍶. The first aroma is sweet, with a hint of grain rather than rice. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity and a sweet umami taste of rice. It has a slight peculiarity similar to that of Ten Asahi or Benten Musume, but this is acceptable. I enjoyed it with oysters in oil 🦪. San-in region's heated sake has its own peculiar taste 🤔. Thanks for the food 🍶.
