Smells like walnuts? Gorgeous cemedine, smell of alcohol after some time. Mild mouthfeel, then sweetness like three warm sugar, light pungency, aging aroma, as you swallow, the taste becomes milder, and gradually bitter from sweetness. Alcohol 20%, well 20% is intoxicating.

Japanese>English

This is delicious. I sent a bottle of Yamagata wine to my cousin who lives in Nagoya, and this is my return gift. I'm satisfied with this sake because it has the feeling I like. It's good at room temperature. It rides softly on the tongue with a sweetness that flows easily. I like Halley's Comet.

100% Gin-no-Yume from Shimanto Town, Kochi Prefecture Junmai Daiginjo The aroma is dry, but the taste is crisp and refreshing with a little acidity. It goes well with any meal. I got it at a liquor store in Kochi Prefecture! I will drink it with care.

Gow gow gow of clouds in the mountains. It sounded great when the bottle was opened 🍾. I will start drinking it with high expectations. Very nice balance of sweetness and sourness, the glass goes on and on. Very tasty 😋. 100% Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio 50%. I saw the McDonald's commercial, and being of the Lunacy generation, I had to try it when they said "Chee Chee Chee Chee 🎶". I had it with Chee Chee Dabuchi and Chee Chee Teriyaki. ☺️

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Japanese>English

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

Junmai Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨ Various flavors. Stronger freshly squeezed. Alcohol is also strong. It is assertive throughout. The sliced kipper makes it mild 👍. Fried oyster makes it more charming. It looks like it was made up and became beautiful😅. Nambu Bistro Unmenosu @ Morioka station 20240126

Bought directly from the Mukho Sake Brewery... Aroma: Slightly cemedine? As the label on the back says, it's a solid and heavy sake. It is like a local sake, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit of a problem, but...it soaks into your guts...it goes well with strong flavored snacks...smoked hoya and stewed tuna...I enjoy it with a little bit of it....

Japanese>English

This is also a gift from my youngest son... a local Chichibu sake from my hometown of Chichibu, Saitama. I know you may not like it, but...it goes well with Chichibu's hormone...and today's snack was...freshly kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) from Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The third one is Mukho Masamune, next door. Rokkaku-san was also visiting 😅 Fruity, a little sour, but delicious 😋.

Just a reminder 🙏. This is the second cup at the third "Douka" 🍶. This is also very dry (+7). It's a bit peculiar, but it's like a good old-fashioned sake for adults 🤗.

Japanese>English

Yamabuki color, firm cedar barrel aroma and rich flavor. The opposite of a fruity sake. This is what sake is all about. It was a wonderful sake that I never got tired of drinking.

I bought it at the Aeon system big. This is the first time I've had an Aomori sake. It's sweet but easy to drink. It's delicious. I'm happy to pay about 1,000 yen for a 720ml bottle.

Japanese>English

Aomori's sake is hard to find locally🥺 I thought I'd have to go out of the prefecture or poke around, but my wife bought some at a department store that the clerk recommended. It's a limited edition sake made by Momokawa, a sake brewery near Hachinohe, using "Mashigura" rice grown in Oirase town and fermented at low temperature for a long time. When we drank it chilled, my wife and I said, "Wow, this is delicious 😆 ". Fruity, light and elegantly sweet😍. It's similar to the Mimuro Sugi's Grazie Airdio that we drank recently. It's easy to drink, even though it's over 17 degrees alcohol. There are many other good sakes in Aomori 👏 besides Denshu, Hassen and Toyoupai.

Japanese>English

I bought it because of the cool bottle, the lettering, and the phrase "cold brewed, Shiboritate limited edition"! It's a freshly squeezed new sake that's only available once a year 💓. Right after opening the bottle, it's super fresh ⚡️I'd say it's light and dry, but still nenne and not enough 😅. On the second day, the richness comes out. On the third day or so, I think the sweet aroma finally started to stand out ✨But by that time I only had one more batch left 🤣. The result was a type that was hard to open, but I enjoyed it 🕺🎵.

The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

Japanese>English

Yamada Nishiki. A pleasantly mild spiciness with a sharp umami flavor...!

Ikebukuro with friends on Wednesday. It was not an all-you-can-drink party. Sake was my friend's choice as we sunk into the sake swamp. It was my first Hakuba Nishiki. Nice choice. It tasted like it would be ranked high in the Nigorin picks. It was fresh, fruity, sweet and refreshing. The upper half of the label is European and the lower half is Japanese, which gives it a Showa-era feel.

Japanese>English

Souvenir cup of sake 🍶. No alcohol feeling, drink it like water 😆 lol

🐶 Chateraise sake, refreshingly sweet and easy to drink. The price is a bit expensive so I don't think I can use it on a daily basis. Sweets are cheap 😂.
