From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.

@Koriyama Iando After having a drink in Omiya, I got tired of going back to Tokyo, so I jumped on the 🚄 and went to Koriyama. I decided to have a quick bite in front of the station, but it was crowded everywhere, so I went to a new restaurant that I found. They have a good selection of local sake, and I chose "Yuri", which I had never had before, and it is from the same brewery as Aizu Nakasho! I heard that this sake is brewed by a mother and daughter who are both sake brewing technicians! It has a soft sweetness at first, but eventually it becomes slightly dry and pleasant to drink. It is very easy to drink, which is impressive and delicious.

At home. Fukuju after a long time. I visited Kobe Shu-shin-kan and bought this sake as it was recommended. Bright red bottle. The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and spicy on the palate. Although the alcohol content is 17%, it is a refreshingly tasty and easy-to-drink gem. It was a quintessential Fukuju. It was a warm day and we were able to visit the restaurant just as the cherry blossoms were falling.

Hi, Daiginjo✨ Hi, Gold Label (lol) The aroma and flavor of the rice are gently fused together It's fluffy but proper sake👍.

Good evening! Another bottle today from the #SakeBarGinKura. It is said that this sake was a favorite at the Nobel Prize dinner party. I remember it was a very honest sake. So the commentary in the photo folder is "so-so" (lol). It was delicious!!! (^O^)

Japanese>English

9 points (wife: 8 points) Rice used: Kami no Ho (Mie) Rice polishing ratio: 50 Sake Degree : undisclosed Acidity /: Undisclosed Alcohol Content ; 17%. Condition: Unpasteurized (Hon-nama) Store purchased from: Jizake No Sake Shop "Yushuya" (Kiyota-ku, Sapporo) When the bottle is opened, it has a "ssshhhhppppppp" feeling. Moderate gassiness Slight pineapple and rice malt overtones The same full aroma, firm rice flavor, and mild sweetness as the topping, along with a small amount of citrus-like acidity, spread out with a pizzazz, and are quickly quenched by the slight spiciness and assertive bitterness of the alcohol. For a junmai daiginjo, the aroma is subdued, and the umami and richness of the rice can be felt, giving the sake a solid impression. It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own. It went well with homemade hamburgers, fried oysters from Aono Suisan, fried horse mackerels, and crab cream croquettes. It went well with a Chinese chicken hamburger from Lucky Piero, a souvenir of Hakodate from an occasional work colleague.

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

For a mellow aroma, Fruity sweetness. Compared to "Daishinshu", It has a clean aftertaste, It has a more refined taste.

Limited brand of Daishinshu: 🇯🇵 Buy it during your pilgrimage to the Holy Land✨. Only about 10 dealers carry this brand. You can find anything in the Holy Land........ 🤣. The ginjo aroma is green apple 🍏. It's been a long time since I've had a Daishinshu, but we share the same aroma 😤. I wonder if the sake rice is Hitogokochi or Miyamanishiki? (→ later I checked and it was Hitogochiki 😳) The balance of sweetness and umami, and then acidity to finish is perfect🤣.

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.

Japanese>English

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.

It is a solid, head-on, robust sake with the power of a yokozuna, which I felt when I drank Tsururei. The most royal of all the royal roads. This is sake. It has a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami, and is not too pungent. It has the richness of unfiltered sake. It does not have a raw sake feel. It is powerful but not too strong or too thick, so it can be used with anything except sashimi, such as grilled or simmered dishes, or heated up in a hot pot.

It says Gotenzakura in small letters on the lower left corner of the front label, but I was told that it was a PB from a local liquor store. Sake made with LED dream yeast from Tokushima🍶. The aroma on the nose is gorgeous and fruity. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the smooth sweetness and umami. It also has a fruity overtone. This sake has a good aroma. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Gotenzakura doburoku, which my father somehow bought on Amazon.com. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand. I remember drinking (or eating?) doburoku like porridge last year, but I can't remember the brand...it's been a long time since then. The initial aroma is faintly sweet with a hint of koji malt. In the mouth, there is a slight sourness like plain yogurt and a slight sweetness of rice. I was able to drink it quite refreshingly while chewing on the rice. I guess it's like a sweet sake with a lot of sake lees, but with much less sweetness. It was delicious ✨.

Japanese>English

Saito Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in the city of Tokushima The classic storefront is intriguing. A brewery like this should have a bottle of Junmai I love the classic Showa-era label. The taste of Junmai rice is full but not cloying. fullness of Junmai rice, but not cloying. Just the right amount of saltiness. The sake went down smoothly at room temperature. It was gone before I knew it. It is a Junmai that is unadorned and goes along with your daily life, But it is a junmai that we are obsessed with.

I have a new impression of Ehime sake 😁. I had never had much Ehime sake before, but I had an image of it being somewhat mellow and dry. This sake is completely different, it is light and slightly acidic, and together with the bitterness in the aftertaste, it is somehow like grapefruit 😊. It also has a bit of a fizzy feel and is very easy to drink as there is no unpleasant spiciness that lingers in the throat 😋. If it were a little more sour, I think I would find it too sour for me, but this level of sourness is just right 😄. I'm only one bottle away from the nationwide domination of the four-gouple bottles or more limited edition. The last one is in Osaka, when can I achieve it? 😅

Japanese>English

The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.

Japanese>English

Probably my first Ehime sake. The aroma is mellow and crisp with a taste of rice. There are delicious sake all over Japan... 3.8 stars
