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...

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 .
