2020/11/06 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A subdued but green apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing and smooth. It is followed by a rich sweetness and flavor. Spiciness and acidity are rather subdued. It finishes off nicely with a slight bitterness. It was easier to drink than the ginjo I received before.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I'm posting my second bottle, this one I've been letting go for about 2 years to contrast with the first (Miyazumi Junmai Nigori Nama) 🍶. Actually, I bought it at the same time as the previous Junmai, but when I drank the Junmai, I took it for granted that this was a sake that should be aged for a long time 😪💤 and it has been in the bottle for a long time until now 😌. The aroma is grain-like, or Western liquor-like, or mature aroma, and the smell alone is enough to make you feel drunk. 😵‍💫 I think it's better to drink it at room temperature or warmed than chilled because the initial smell will disappear. Maybe I'll give it a try after tomorrow. It's good to enjoy long-aged sake sometimes. ☺️

2020/09/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the mouth, it has a unique herbal aroma. It has a caramelized, slightly sweet taste. The flavor of the rice is clean and clear, and the taste of the rice comes across well. The aftertaste is light and crisp. It's a little crooked, but for some reason you can drink it.

All Gunma Maifu Drinking Set. This time it's Tonenishiki from Nagai Honke in Numata. I've been a customer here for a long time. The color is pale yellow. The original aroma of the rice stands out. It has a rich taste with a sense of maturity. It has the richness that is typical of pure rice, and has a relatively classic taste.

Sweet and sour, delicious cold, room temperature 111111 Easy to drink, slightly dry Honjozo Dangerous sake that you can drink easily.

Japanese>English

From the Tone Nishiki brewery, the second in the dancing series, "Dancer". Low-alcoholic sake with a high koji ratio. Chilled. Aromatic or rather sweet aroma with a somewhat mucky atmosphere that reaches deep into the head. It has a complex flavor with a mild, firm sweetness and a grain-like hardness. The acidity gives a clear flavor profile, and there is enough umami to give a satisfying but not lingering sharpness. This may be a flavor I have never tasted before.

It is Akishika's henohenomoheji. It was served heated 🍶. The nose is softly warmed with a sweet aroma of warmed sake. The first aroma is softly sweet with a warmed sake aroma. It is a dry sake with a nice sharp taste. We enjoyed it with smoked egg 🍶😊.

Rice used is unknown Pale gold color, but without much sense of maturity. Slightly light, with strong acidity. It is rather sweet. It has a sharp, clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it. The umami flavor also comes through with a zing, making it a deeply flavored sake. The 87th cup of sake
