It is an easy to drink sake with no peculiarities. It is a delicious sake that does not interfere with meals. I wish there was a regular sake club.

Conference to be held irregularly at Tabei More and more energetic with the group cancelled due to the typhoon, and almost all the rooms were reserved The label says "Niji no Kirameki" but the background is too rainbow to read It seems to be a new rice Slightly sweet and soft. The acidity is almost imperceptible and disappears quickly. Dangerous to drink in one gulp. As the temperature rises, the depth of the wine becomes deeper and more interesting.

At standing drinking CHUIN. The last sake of the day was my first Aizu Nishiki sake 🍶. Sukpetto koppetto" means "ah-da-ko-da" or "shino-no". They use it like "don't say suppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppettakoppetto" 😊. Sometimes Tohoku dialect is kind of cute. ☺️ A slightly unique fermented aroma! It's like the natto from Nagatorogura the other day, but cheesier and with a sour taste. This time I was able to talk with Mr. Kawada and we agreed that the unique aroma of this sake and Nagatorogura may come from the lactic acid added in the fast brewing yeast process 😄. The texture is smooth. Characteristic sweetness with a sweet potato flavor 🍠. From there, the acidity quickly follows, and the dryness spreads soooo gently. The sharpness is good with a lingering bitterness. The sweetness with a sweetpotato sensation is also a new sensation 😳. According to Mr. Kawada, it seems to come from koji (malted rice). He says that the fermentation smell when making koji has a sweet chestnut aroma, and I also thought that perhaps that chestnut-like aroma, combined with the sweetness of the sake, gave it a sweet potato-like flavor. It's kind of unbearable to think that such an interesting sake has been drunk since ancient times. ☺️ The world of sake still seems to be very deep 😊.

It was a gift from an acquaintance who had it aged (and forgotten) in her fridge 🍶. I had an image of Niigata's light and dry ✨but it's easy to drink for a sake that's still raw 😋. I noticed the yeast #6 ‼️...

Is it close to the mountains or not? Jackets value ... 6/10 Good orthodox, but the color scheme is cheap. Ki ... 19/20 The hue is pale yellow, the aroma is not bad, the flavor is not too strong, and the taste is not too strong, but the texture and flavor are perfect. Sei... 18/20 The sweetness and pleasantness on the tongue are maintained, so the aforementioned acidity and burning can be accepted as accents. Turning... 18/20 The acidity is refreshing and changes to a umami taste that appeals to the center of the tongue; however, the sweet and umami taste of the first half is basically the base, so the change can be tasted without discomfort. Yui... 17/20 The amino acidic umami (as I think of it) is kept, and the finish has the freshness of the sake. The bitterness comes out, but it is OK because it would be insufficient without this much bitterness! COSPA ... 7/10 Purchased for 1,870 yen. The core sweetness and umami are well balanced. The only drawback is the lack of aromatic pleasure. The only difference between this wine and Yamama is the acidity. 85 points

The last bottle in the store, a four-pack for 1,160 yen, was served at room temperature. It has a subtle aroma of banana, a hint of carbonation, and a slowly subdued sweetness with an excellent sharpness at the end.

Shizen Hometown Refreshing Refreshing, refreshing, and delicious. This may be the best sake I have ever tasted. Pleasant sweetness with a rummy feel. There is a slight alkalinity in the latter half, but it disappears nicely in the end. It is not flashy, but it has a moderate sweetness and calmness, and is easy to drink. It is easy to drink. I thought it was a sake I would like to keep on hand.

The entry is soft with a slight citrus aroma, and the overall taste is dry with a moderate amount of flavor typical of Omachi rice. My wife and son had bought some spicy chicken from Saizeriya's take-out, and we enjoyed it as a snack.

Brewed by Yamaoka Sake Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima Brewed by Yamaoka Shuzo Zuikan Junmai Happo Nigori Nama Shuzake The bubbles are so strong that it is difficult to open. It is hard to open. Excitement is outstanding even before you open it. When you drink it, you can feel the exhilarating carbon dioxide gas You can feel the refreshing carbon dioxide gas coming from the bottle. Super sparkling sake 🍶. AKA carbonated juice for adults 😆.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

At home. Nara Sake without permission, 12th stage ~‼️ Kubo Honke, a long-established sake brewery in Uda City, Nara Prefecture ~ ‼️ Hatsukasumi and this Soriryu are famous brands. The baseball club team that my sons took care of when they were in junior high school was located in Uda, and this is a nostalgic place where we used to go every weekend. We used to pass by the brewery we visited this time, but this is the first time we visited there. It is called "Sake Brewery Street," but it is really a quiet street. And the taste of the sake.... There is not much aroma, and although you can feel the alcohol in your mouth, the dryness is not so high and the sake is easy to drink. I imagined it would be a dry sake for the experts because it is from a long-established sake brewery, but to my surprise, it is moderately drunk and has a refreshing taste. It is not flashy, but it is a good sake. ‼️

6/10 Domaine Akishika. It is said to be a sake made from Omachi produced in a rice field called Kamimura-Omachi. And they say it is aged, so the price is quite expensive. It had a robust flavor and mellow taste. The bitterness that comes in the latter half of the sake was also enjoyable. I had no idea that such a sake was available here.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

A bottle that shows the quintessence of Yamae Nishiki. It has a rich umami and strong bitter acidity. Rather dry taste. Impressive freshness and richness even though it's a draft ✨. Not too high at 15.5, You can fully enjoy the original sake character 😋.

This is your first issue. What is this? It has all the good points of Shinshu sake. It has a gentle sweetness, but at the same time it is refreshing. The evaluation was divided as to whether it was dry or sweet. I thought it was sweet. I felt the high level of Shinshu.

🏠 Drinking ( -̀ -́ )୨⚑︎゛ I didn't care for the aroma. Crisp ‼️ and no bitterness. Maybe a light acidity when paired with veggies😊. For the entrée... Yakitori with sauce made with rice wine 🐓. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it with vegetables Rice used, Miyamanishiki Yeast, Kyokai 701 Alcohol 13%. Personal preference among 4 types 4️⃣ I received a bottle of sake that has been stored at room temperature for a wacky long time... I tried to drink it but it was old sake ( ´-̥̥̥̥̥ω̥̥̥̥̥̥`) I got about 7 kinds of sake including Tasake and Jyushiyo... What a waste 😭😭😭 The sauce made with Tasake was delicious though 🥲.
