Mellow aroma and deep umami Delicate and soft aftertaste You can drink as much as you want.

Despite its subtle ginjo aroma, it has a nice sharpness that does not interfere with the meal. It may be a fragrant sake, but it is a perfect food sake, and it is also a perfect match for the local cuisine of Aizu.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

A little bit peculiar. Not easy to drink. I don't dislike the classical taste.

The second cup was the One and Only daughter. Although it is labeled as super dry, it was my favorite dry sake for women's sake, just like the gentle and glamorous name 🍶. It was delicious. 🙆‍♂️

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

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.

I felt a sense of maturity or deep flavor. Takashima is in the northern part of Shiga Prefecture, a land known for funazushi (fermented crucian carp sushi). I tasted it, wondering if the character of the wine would go well with funa-zushi. I tasted it while wondering if the character would go well with funa-zushi. I could not prepare funazushi as a side dish, so I tasted it with gyoza and yakisoba noodles. It tasted mellow even though it is a pure sake, and I wondered if it would be a mismatch with chilled tofu and edamame...

It was sold in advance at the brewery opening but I couldn't go, so I bought it after the official release. The top aroma is a bit like high cooked rice. It has a gentle sweetness and volume. I was surprised that it was more drinkable than I expected. It is relatively low in alcohol, but the taste does not make you feel so.

This is a 2L pack of Kuromatsu Shiraga Junmai. This is my first time to drink Kuromatsu Shiraga. It is delicious with normal tasty acidity 🍶🎶.

When I see the name Bodhi Hashimoto, I tend to pick it. It is a refreshingly light, light and umami taste. I think I prefer the blue bottle I bought before. thanks KURA Taro (Sapporo)

This time it is "nine nine The final"! 🍶 A large amount of it was in stock at a local liquor store ✋. This is the last of the nine 😭. I was not lucky enough to have a chance to buy it, and when I finally did, it was the last one 😭😭.... I will savor it to the fullest! 🥺 The aroma is a ginjo aroma with a hint of sourness! The aroma, which is not too strong, wears a luxurious elegance. As a lover of sourness, I have high expectations at this point! The first thing you notice in the mouth is the acidity, but it is not too strong! However, it is not too strong and lasts until it passes down the throat at the same time as the aroma and sweetness! It lasts until it goes down your throat at the same time! What a delicious taste...! ...and then gradually the sweetness gets stronger and stronger to the peak of sweetness! Quite sweet! 🗻🗻🗻. The fruity flavor of white grapes stays deep in the mouth even after swallowing, extending the aftertaste! 💚🍇 It's amazingly delicious. ...... I wish I could have had a chance to taste it sooner... ...... No, I should be glad I got to drink it at the end! LOL! I may not be able to drink this brand anymore, but I will check out the brewery's future! 💪.

I've been making my way to restaurants with good service lately. Today they served me a fresh aged sake. Today is February 6. This is my first Kinkame. My first impression was that it was very good! Next, it has a strong umakuchi taste. The acidity at the end is good, just like Yamadataro. It is like a light kijoshu, and it is delicious. Shiga is nice.

Japanese>English

This one has a milling ratio of 80. Full of sweetness! It spreads slowly in the mouth.

Japanese>English

In Sakewa, there are two separate brands, Kinkame and Kinkame, which is the correct one to register? Kinkame's "Drink this" is 70% polished. It has umami, richness, and a moderately classic feel. This is also a delicious sake.

I wonder if it tastes old-fashioned for the label😅. It has a good flavor, but it's also very sour: ❗️ I think it's difficult for people who don't like sake 🙏. The sweetness increases as the temperature goes up. I would like to try it warmed up next time. ❗️ It tastes like it would go well with strong flavored food or oily food 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tatsusen is a first. The rice called "Kyo no Hana No.1" is also new to me. The name alone might make you think it is Kyoto rice😅. It seems to be a phantom rice revived by the Tatsusen brewery. Is the aroma a little peculiar? It has a beautiful and elegant fruity taste. It's hard to describe its complexity. It is a light sake. There is a strong sense of extract and grain. The acidity is strong at the end. It has a caramel-like taste. The overall impression is dry. Fruity and dry?

Japanese>English

The third shot was Tatsuzumi, Sashiu-san's gift sake. It's so bitter, isn't it? Tatsusen! It is said to be a special blend of Junmai-Nigori and Jungin-Nigori, so I imagined it to be cloudy and heavy, but contrary to its appearance, it is light and easy to drink with a light gasiness and sweet acidity from a clear dry base. This is also a horse! Thank you very much for the meal!
