夏らしくキレがあり爽やか。でもアルコール感強めで満足感があります。

The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

The green cedar ball signals that the new sake is ready. We were able to taste it. The sake was clear, dry, and easy to drink.

Next is Tamahagane. What a cool name! I'm attracted to names like that. Kamitachika has a robust sake feel. The mouthfeel It has a dense sweetness and umami, and a slow-moving sensation. The aftertaste is a bit of alcohol, and despite the heaviness of the initial attack, it finishes with a nice acidity and bitterness. I am not so good at Honjozo, but this was delicious! Thank you!

Part 3 of 3 (specials) for drinking comparison. This is already middle class. It is sharp and dry. It did not have as much ginjo as described in the menu, but it had depth. But somehow, I still didn't have enough to drink today.

It has a mild taste. The aftertaste is refreshing.

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.

Japanese>English

We received a bottle of "Sato Ubei" from Shinmasa Sake Brewery! It is a very special sake that is rarely seen, and the moment it is poured into a glass, it is already filled with a sense of "preciousness" and "gratitude. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The aroma is elegant and deep, with a sense of transparency that is typical of Shinmasa, while the taste is calm. In the mouth, it has a beautiful taste with both delicacy and depth, and the umami of the rice and lingering aftertaste are superb. It has a somewhat serene and dignified appearance, and is a sake that seems to be the liquid expression of the brewer's thoughts. It was a miracle to have this bottle, but when I actually tried it, I was even more impressed than it was worth. It was truly delicious and made me want to savor it as if chewing it slowly for a "special time" 😊.

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

Japanese>English

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 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.

I had received a nice, affordable nodoguro and matched it with this dish. The taste of the nodoguro was very good, and combined with the refreshing acidity, it quickly became empty.

Farewell party connected by sake rice. From the Hokuriku Sake Rice Series and the Sake Kingdom of Niigata Prefecture, Koshitanrei and Tokimizu Meisui Tatomo Junmai Ginjo, a gem from GINigata. It may be light, but it is rather deep. It tends to be umami. As expected from Niigata. At Joetsu Takata Funakae

Japanese>English

It was during the week, but I had a light drink with what I received. The flavor was so good that I ended up emptying it. I am looking forward to another bottle of premium.

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.

Purchased at a roadside station when I went to see the autumn leaves of the famous rows of metasequoia trees in Makino Town. Although it was a weekday, there were quite a few people there. The autumn colors were just right, and the view was breathtaking! I bought this at the roadside station on the way back home. The bottle had a different shape, and it tasted like sake, not the new taste of today! It can be served cold or warmed, but either way, it is a perfect sake for a meal! Nishi-Omi Takashima Nice place! I would like to move there. Uma!

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

Japanese>English

It was my first time after all. This flower dew I think I'd like to try heating it up 🆗. It's a dry sake 🍶. They made onigiri (rice balls) on the spot with big plums from the ume pickles! Rice balls and sake go well together! A little sour, these plums! (a little bit of knowledge about Japanese sake) Ingredient rice: Yume Issho Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 14-15 degrees Celsius

Last of the day. Kitashizuku. Aroma and sweetness. Slightly hard, with a pungent spiciness that slips away smoothly, accompanied by a sense of minerality.

Japanese>English

Mishio Junmai Ginjo Omachi 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15-16%. Sake meter degree +2, acidity 1.8 (reference) Fat 5/7, opened 5/23 I wanted to drink a dry sake from Kochi and was attracted by the label that looked like a pattern of playing cards I used to have at my parents' house 🤣. The brand "Bishio" is a new brand that started in 2014. It is one of the Junmai Ginjo series that is based on the concept of "elegant sweetness reminiscent of honey" and is part of a trilogy that includes "Kitashizuku", "Gin no Yume", and "Omachi". The aroma is almost imperceptible after opening the bottle. In the mouth, it has a fruity, fruity aroma and flavor, but at the same time, the alcohol is very strong. The acidity is moderate and not harsh. The acidity is not too strong, but it's more spicy and tingling than the number 😅. I tried to drink it after 4 days, which is unusual for me, but although the mouthfeel got better, the strong alcohol feeling didn't go away. The aftertaste is light, so it would be classified as light-dry. It's like a Tosa sake in that respect 😊. Unfortunately, it didn't suit me and was disappointing 😅. Oh! Maybe I should have tried heating it up 🤔.

Japanese>English

Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I had never seen "Mishio" before.

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This year I got the 33rd batch of Jr. Aizan, which I failed to buy last year 😀 The Banshu Aizan is polished to 33 and is a luxury product. The aroma is gorgeous, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the nose is refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet and delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had the Jr. Series Juicy Dry 🙌. The aroma is mild, and when you put it in your mouth it changes from delicious to slightly dry and then disappears quickly. Kudokukidake has a strong umami taste to it, so this dry taste was fresh and tasty 😀.

(**Ohmami*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had Kudoki-jote 😀 The aroma is slightly fresh muscat 🤔The drink is completely different from the previous Kudoku Ute 😙It's not a strong sweet and tasty sake but a refreshingly juicy and acidic sake 😚Jr. It was like a change of pace for Jr.
