It's a dry and crisp junmai sake with a very high alcohol content of 18 to 19 degrees. It's not for beginners...but I think it's good 😋. I've been drinking it with octopus sashimi on the side.

Japanese>English

The aftertaste is refreshing, but but it has a rich and solid taste. I drank it as a midday drink, but but you can also enjoy it by itself.

At home. First Naraman. Fruity, sweet and fizzy. It has a slightly crisp feeling on the throat, and it goes down smoothly. It is easy to drink on a hot day and tastes great. I would like to see if there is a change in taste after the second day.

We have two minamis in our office, and they are in the same section, so when I call, I often get the wrong person💦. That aside, this time it was Jungin from Kochi Sake Minami. Dry fruity with a bit of acidity. Very drinkable👍. It can be drunk with a wide range of dishes, not just fish 😋. It was a good sake with a reasonable cost❣️.

50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

Japanese>English

After finishing the half marathon today...I drank it again and it was delicious...I knew it was Niigata sake, because it is undiluted, so it has a smooth, light and dry taste...it was delicious...I drank a lot of it at the party, but Niigata sake has a lot of potential...I felt it again...it is a very good sake...it is a very good sake...

Today is my first Hokkaido sake ️. Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery🌸 The aroma is a little muscat? I'm not sure. It's also very tasty. There is also a sour bitterness that comes through in the nose 😋. I had it with octopus wasame kabu and it goes well with it. The sweetness increases👍.

After the brewery's relocation to Hokkaido This is the first time to drink it. The label by a designer from Asahikawa The label by a designer from Asahikawa creates a pleasant atmosphere. It has a gorgeous aroma and a slightly sweet taste. It goes well with light-flavored Japanese food.

. Wife 8 points Rice polishing ratio 60 Yeast used: Kyokai 1401 Alcohol percentage 15 Sake degree ±0 Acidity 1.6 Seller: Sanzen Sakura Shuzo (a sake brewery located in a rural area) Slightly pineapple-like fruity taste, soft sweetness and rice flavor, slightly bitter and a little alcohol spiciness in the second half. While purchasing a limited edition sake in return, we also tasted and bought a summer nigori (nigori is a type of sake that is sold in summer). The Yui Yui, which is made by Michiko Urasato at this brewery, is not sold at the brewery due to various reasons.

( ´´▽｀)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first Yui Yui Hitachinomegumi, which we purchased on our GW trip 😀. After purchasing it, I was disappointed to learn that the brewery was destroyed by fire. I hope to drink some of the Yuki Sake Brewery's sake and hope it is rebuilt 🥺. The aroma is mild and also has a mild rice flavor, combined with a pleasant acidity 🤔 with a clean aftertaste 😚 It is a beautiful sake and I would like to have the basic Yui label next time 😊.

Japanese>English

The third drink at Kaku-uchi When we were told that it was time to go home, we chose for our last drink the miraculous Yui Yui sake that was rescued from the scene of a fire^ ^ ^. It has a refreshing taste... and you feel refreshed after drinking it! It's just so easy to drink! And delicious! I would like to try this sake with a meal next time. I sincerely hope the brewery recovers as soon as possible 🙏. A little something extra... I could not eat the snack of Kishu Nanko Ume because they were out of stock due to the heat of the day (T . T)

Japanese>English

Today, I got the Yui! Opened the bottle and the aroma is good. In the mouth, easily, not much sweetness, no sourness. But I feel something that is not bitterness. That's as far as I got, I couldn't even tell the characteristics of the rice... Maybe next time..! Maybe..,
