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👍.

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.

I bought some sushi with my favorite boiled conger eel besides western style snacks at the department store.... I opened the bottle thinking it would go well with this dry sake... ^ ^ The aroma is of rice with a harsh taste ⁈It's hard to describe σ(^_^;) It has a dry and sharp taste, but I thought it didn't go well with the sweet sauce of conger eel (T . T). T) It's difficult to find the right marriage (>_<)

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had it fresh out of the fridge and chilled. It's a delicious sake that's easy to drink. If you drink it after a while, you can enjoy a slightly different aroma and taste. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

It has the freshness of freshly squeezed rice, the acidity unique to Yamada Nishiki, and a slightly sour taste. It is not suitable for beginners...it is a traditional Japanese sake...

( ´´▽｀)🍶🍶🍶🍶 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..,

Macho shocked me before...this time, I didn't expect much since it was fire-aged and not a draft 🍶...but when I opened the bottle: .... Pssh! Wow...the aroma of rich Yamadanishiki rice with 80% polished rice...the mouthfeel is sweet but thick... This is a very rich wine! The flavor is also very macho...definitely overpriced...this is delicious...I want to drink it again...it's not a trendy sake right now, but it's good...this is good...

Japanese>English

I had been wanting to drink this for a long time and got a bottle of "Ousai Macho" from Makino Shuzo.... I'm also interested in the other macho series...I'm sipping it with cod roe tempura and black shrimp tempura...I think it goes well with strong-flavored snacks and dishes. I can't stop drinking sake because of these Junmai encounters!

Japanese>English

(Holly **P🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first large sake cup 😄 Macho, Junmai, Aaiyama I'm so happy to be able to drink it! The rice is low milled but clear in color. The aroma is slightly banana🍌? When you drink it, you can feel a slight gasiness? It is a bit peculiar but the umami is very good. It is a little bit peculiar, but the umami is very good.

Summer Shibori! Slight amber color It has a strong alcohol feeling. It has a lot of punch! It's a sake like Fukui Prefecture. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued❓. When you drink it, it is faintly melon 🍈😊. The sweetness is moderate, not too spicy and smooth❗️ It's an aluzoe, but it's not too alcoholic and it's gentle 👍 but it's too gentle and it's not enough🤔. I've heard that it's recommended to drink it warmed up, so I'm going to try that next time❗️Overall, it was a light and easy to drink delicious sake😊.
