Dry Umami Striking Fresh Crisp Sharp Graceful Nutty

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

A reminder of our outing on 12/9🍶. We enjoyed it deliciously(^-^)/

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

Yamada Nishiki and Oita Mitsui. The flamboyance of the perimeter. Spiciness swells from the mid-palate and is released in a refreshing manner.

It has a gorgeous yet robust taste with a lingering aftertaste. It was very good with hot pot, but it might not be good with something with a strong taste like kimchi.

Sweetness that makes you feel even stylish nowadays. It's fruity and can be cut cleanly. Versatile as a mid-meal drink. 100% Bizen Omachi, 65% polishing ratio.

Imanishi Sake Brewery is well known for its Mimuro Cedar. I have not seen this sake very often, but I bought it thinking that the sake bearing their name must be very strong. The aroma is subdued, but it is like a rummy. It has a light sweetness and a nice sharpness. It has a slight alcohol taste. I heard that Asahi rice is a low GI food, I hope this sake is also low GI 🤣.

This Sake has a full mouth feel with a strong flavor of cedar and apple. It is also dry with a lingering finish. This is a great with strong flavored foods like kakuni.

marriageable age (esp. of a woman) Slight aroma, dark color. Soft attack. The taste is round and dry. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.

I must have liked it rather a lot, but I don't remember much. I drank too much and forgot to take pictures.

Oniyasha Centrifuged Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake. It is a delicious sake with a creamy mouthfeel and a bitter taste that comes after the umami and goes down the throat. I think it's a slightly dry nigorizake. It's delicious 😋The label has a picture of the top and bottom. The direction of the label is reversed from the normal Oniyasha label.

Sake given to me by a friend. It has a sweet taste. It is elegant and wonderful. I put it in the fridge to hold back my desire to drink more, as I think it will taste even better if I let it sit for a little longer. I wonder what kind of snacks I should make to go with this sake.

Japanese>English

Mie Sake Enjoyment Party⑭ The booth of Maruhiko Sake Brewery Co. and Mie-no-Kanbai. The rain was heavy here too, but the brewery seemed to be okay since it is located near Komono-cho in Yokkaichi City. This company also had no special distributor in Osaka. There was also a lineup of collaboration sake from Kingdom and Godzilla. Apparently, it was because Godzilla first landed in Mie. Junmai Ginjo Mie-no-Kanbai Hiyoroshi A hiyaoroshi sake. It has a mild flavor and a slight dryness that is typical of hiyaoroshi sake. ◉Mie-no-Kanbai Daiginjo Motoshu Slightly sweet and umami, with a good balance on the palate. It has a slight sweetness and umami. The rice price is high this year, so they are planning to reduce the production.

Japanese>English

I returned to work on this day, but I was tired from all the work I had to take care of, such as dealing with a tour of the facility by the Osaka Prefectural Police 🤣. The sake that soothed me on such a day was a non-vintage sake from Mie-no-Kanbai. This sake was given to me as a reward for volunteering at the Spring Japanese Sake Festival 😀. The brewery donated a bottle of sake, so we all played rock-paper-scissors-scissors 😀. I'm not usually good at rock-paper-scissors-scissors, but on this day, I was lucky enough to win 😇 The specs are completely undisclosed, but it was brewed as a vintage sake, so it has a rich sweet and umami base that melts away nicely😇. It was a great experience for my body, which is still not in its best shape yet 😀.

Popular local sake from Saitama 🍶It doesn't look like a Japanese sake 🍶! Aroma: Sour and sweet citrus 🍊? No...grape 🍊? The mouthfeel is rich, sweet and delicious with a strong acidity...I can feel the deliciousness of Omachi...it tastes like white wine? Sashimi, I'm having a little bit of Toyama firefly squid, which I hear is a good catch this year, as a side dish.

Japanese>English

Sake from my hometown in Saitama (Sai-no-kuni yori katari shiranai reishu) has become a major sake...sweet aroma, gorgeous and fruity...sweet on the palate! Rolling on the tongue, you can feel the umami of rice......and the aftertaste is smooth and clean. This will be very popular! I enjoyed it with chicken sashimi and roasted beef tongue 😊.

Japanese>English

Aroma is fresh and sweet citrus 🍊The taste is fresh and tingling because it's fresh 😊Ummm fresh...sweet and tasty.... I'm taking it easy............................

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin, 30 bottles of Niigata sake cups 🎉Chapter 1 Sweet and sour. Zarame. Gentle ☺️. Good with Hokkaido Hakkaku sashimi to get rid of the cloying taste👍Good with fat rather than plain white meat 😋Warmed up to 50 degrees, mild. The riceiness is up, and the acidity is softened. It also has a sweetness. Order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami, drink at home 20240315

Japanese>English

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

Japanese>English

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

This year's version is delicious too!

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)
