I got this as a prize in a golf competition. This is my first time brewing Yamahai, and I will enjoy it slowly on the weekend.

(*^_^*)Western-style drink. The first Tengu-Mai cup sake. The color is a little yellowish. It tastes like a very strong sake. This is the essence of sake, isn't it?

Japanese>English

It's so rich! It's not that bad! I can certainly feel the thickness of the flavor! I can't detect much acidity. I couldn't detect much acidity. I can't feel it, I like it because it is very rich!

I think I prefer it at room temperature. It goes well with strong Japanese food.

I used to drink Honored Kunimitsu Plum Wine, but this is my first time. It has a clear mouthfeel, but the flavor of lactic acid bacteria comes through. I think it's easy to drink, even for those who don't like traditional sake. I haven't tried it warmed, but it's good at room temperature or chilled.

I had wanted to drink it for a long time, but the timing was never quite right... The manager said it was his favorite drink in the restaurant! It is a pale yellow color with silver tints and a hint of green. It has a spicy top note with a hint of alcohol, but the aroma is very refreshing, perhaps because of the acidity. When you drink it, the slightly carbonated texture on the tongue is pleasant. There is not much noticeable aroma, but the acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel. It may not have much sweetness to begin with, but the acidity helps to make it dry. Despite its dryness, it has a strong flavor, which is probably due to the strong umami that can be tasted from start to finish. Dry sake is usually considered "spicy," but perhaps because of the strong umami, it does not feel too spicy. Interestingly, it is a sake that does not have much bitterness, which may be why it is so light and easy to drink despite its 17% alcohol content. This is seriously very, very good! I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I think it's a must-try for sake drinkers who like umami!

Japanese>English

Low-polished & sake yeast yeast As expected, it has a strong punch! The aftertaste is also bitter and punchy. ‼️ It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a citrusy bitterness at the finish. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a unique and delicious sake with many different expressions. ❣️

Japanese>English

Rice used is Yamadanishiki After opening the bottle, I wondered if it would have been better if I had let it sit longer. I regret it after opening the bottle. Even as it is, it has a great balance of fruity and powerful, with a clean dry finish. ‼️ However, it seemed to have a lot of potential to improve! It was delicious, but it was a waste of time!

The sake I bought back from Tottori. Oh... it's a Junmai Ginjo, but it doesn't have a Ginjo aroma... Aged scent? Yes, it's actually a sake that's been aged for 3 years. Aged sake usually has a harsh aroma for me, but But this one has a gorgeous aroma and a soft taste. It's an excellent product for beginners of aged sake.

Autumn is deepening. This is the time of the year for the unique Nara sake, Okura's Autumn Sake 🍂. The full moon🌕 label made me excited to open the bottle. It has a unique sweetness and richness, but with a rounded, mellow, and gentle taste. It's still delicious. ❤️ Okura is another addictive sake 🍶. I think it is a brand that should not be missed when talking about Nara sake👍.

Japanese>English

I bought it and then let it sit for a very long time 🍶. I thought it was strawberry-y ✨ However ‼️ It tastes quite maniacal 😓 lol Mellow, rich, and mature ✨🍶🍶. Sake feeling and rich strawberry feeling 🍓🍓. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

You can also go for the hot and spicy ‼️ Macho and Kamo Kanehide are both delicious 😋! I'm heading home after another Mahjong camp today👍

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Japanese>English

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Japanese>English

The alcohol is hot and mellow. The moment you take a sip, it spreads out, It has a dense sweet flavor of mirin (sweet sake) type. It also has acidity, The spiciness of the alcohol tightens it up and keeps it from being dull. It is a powerful sake. It makes the best use of strong-flavored food. Shokusai Tatsu Taste 3.5/5

Kashima Shrine, Ikisu Shrine, Katori Shrine I visited and bought from the three shrines of Eastern Japan! This time we got Katori! Junmai Natural Sake 80 I've never tasted sake like this before! Sweet aroma? The aroma of bread? The taste is strong and robust. The sourness and richness are similar to coffee... That's just my personal opinion😜. What the heck, I just finished 300mls! LOL! It is a divine drink 😁.

I messed up with the Terada family.... It's perfect for heating up.

This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture). It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock. This is the one I found in my parents' fridge. Cool and pungent. A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor. Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you. The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness. The intense flavor is intoxicating. After all, Genpei is delicious. I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed. The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.

This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Oku-Echizen region, Fukui Prefecture. I bought this sake when I went back home for summer vacation, and it just appeared. It has a sweet aroma that spreads quickly, with a sharp pungency. The sharpness of the spiciness is complemented by the sharpness of the aroma, which reminds me a bit of Western-style sake. It is a country sake, but it is quite gorgeous and sparkling. How about when it is warmed up? The spiciness rushes in like a gust of wind. The spiciness rushes through like a gust of wind, gushing out sweetness and melting away the flavors of the snacks at a torrent-like speed. It is just like spring melt water. The faint scent of vanilla in the aftertaste is also a nice touch. I enjoy the speed and grace.

Japanese>English

I was a little curious about it with lots of writing, so I bought it. I heard it was super dry. Hohoho. It has a pungent taste that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes it easy to drink. It has a spiciness that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes you feel like you can drink it without hesitation. Let's try it with meat and fish to see how well it goes with them. The spiciness of the sake also faded when paired with tonteki (pork belly) with sweet and spicy sauce.

This is a summer sake limited to exclusive dealers. It is made from Hiroshima Hatan Nishiki at 55% polishing ratio. It has a refreshing sweetness and It has a refreshing sweetness and a firm taste of rice. If you cool it down, it becomes more refreshing. It is the first time to drink this brand. It is a perfect taste for summer.

It has a banana-type aroma. The sweetness is strong, followed by a slight bitterness and disappears. There is a slight sweet aftertaste. The acidity is not so strong, so it can be an aperitif or an aperitif. I would pair it with an after-dinner dessert.

[Memorandum]. The third sake is from Hiroshima. Ichidai Yayama. It has a yellowish color and the smell is also bothersome. I can't drink a lot of this.
