Umami
I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔. Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well. After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.

First impressions are a sharp taste with a dry finish. There is sweet apple flavor with a hint of wood / taru. Good combination with foods that are on the salty side. This is a limited Sake.
Kawashima Sake Brewery A brewery in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture I visited there about 4 years ago. 100% Yamadanishiki, 40% polished It is a 100% Yamadanishiki, 40% polished Jun Dai unfiltered raw sake. Gorgeous ginjo aroma! Mellow sweetness reminiscent of grapes. Depth of sweetness, umami and bitterness Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Royal taste as you would expect from the specs No heaviness characteristic of sake A definite choice!

Shaoxing Wine
Glue-like

Raisin
Purchased at the HYOGO SAKE EXPO. The aroma is of aged aroma like Shaoxing wine. The hint of gunpowder-like aroma. I think it is clean and easy to drink for an aged wine. I thought it would be good to drink with fruits and sweets. The acidity is a nice accent. Perhaps because it is a daiginjo, it feels fruity even though it is an aged sake.

It's been a long time since I drank outside, and I was so drunk that I don't remember much ... . It was an unforgivable mistake for a drinker....... It was a traditional sake with a strong flavor, and went very well with the avocado yukke we had together (I think). The alcohol content was quite high, so it's good when you want to have a strong drink with a solid accompaniment.

Wow peculiar~. Amber body. Almost tastes like Shaoxing wine. The rice sourness adds to the drinkability.

For my first Hiroshima sake in a while, I chose a new Seikagami sake, my first try 😀 . I knew the name, but it was my first time drinking it, so I was excited to open the bottle🍾 I've never tried it before, so I was very excited to try it! It's a mildly dry wine with a hint of sweetness, easy to pair with food, and I love it👍. I'm not sure what to make of this. I love it!

Sour... a unique aroma... It has a bitter-sweet taste. Aromatic and dry? Because it is freshly squeezed. It has a fresh feeling. The aftertaste is interesting... It's not a popular sake right now, but it's a good choice for a food drink. I don't hate it. I never get tired of it. It's delicious...

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.

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😇

It's direct sake ⚡️. It's deep in the middle of sweet and spicy 😽💕. It's so thick, it's classified as a mellow sake! I feel like I'm drowning in Eikun's swamp😅.

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.

When I went back to my parents' house, I didn't have any sake in stock, so I bought this bottle at a nearby supermarket. It was sold for about 1,000 yen in an ordinary supermarket that rarely stocks sake, so I honestly thought it would be good if I could drink it, but it turned out to be a very tasty sake that greatly exceeded my expectations 😆. It has an elegant sweetness and a light mouthfeel that breaks up nicely without any miscellaneous flavours, making it a good all-round sake that can be drunk alone or with food👍. The sake has been awarded the Gold Medal in the Wine Glass Sake Award 2020😄. It's a great sake to drink alone or with food.

480 yen A clear peachy sour smell. When you shake it, you can smell the sparkling smell. Pear peach thin bitter taste. As you drink it, you can drink it like water, with a sense of rice in the distance. It is delicious. When it is heated up, the chestnut and rice taste comes out and it is refreshing. It is easy to drink. It seems to reset the inside of your mouth. Delicious both cold and warmed.

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.

The freshly squeezed aroma... The sourness is strong on the palate, and there is a bitter aftertaste... Is it because it is freshly squeezed? It's a little rough. It's a good choice to drink with tuna and squid sashimi.

The first Kinokuniya Bunzaemon! It has the fresh aroma of unpasteurized sake and a smooth, non-viscous mouthfeel. When you drink it, the spiciness comes quickly, but in the end, it disappears, leaving the flavor of rice and a lingering aftertaste. It has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees, which makes it very drinkable, but it is also very refreshing and tasty.

Here's another one that was given to me. The aroma of the sake is very alcoholic. The taste is sweet and delicious. The aroma is the sake! You can feel a little acidity and bitterness in the finish. I think it is a bottle with a moderate heaviness in total. The taste is similar to that of Kadoden from among the already-checked-in products. The efficacy report says it is good at room temperature to warmed sake. It's a solid sake, so it's best not to chill it too much. It's good for summer! It was not a good one! Thank you for the food!
