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 🍶🎶.

It is fresh and crisp, and you can feel the flavor of the rice. It goes well with both fish and meat.

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

Japanese>English

Aroma is discreet but green apple-like. Grain sweetness on the palate, astringency and light gassiness, soft pungency later. The aftertaste is pungent and acidic. Alcohol 16%. Sake meter degree +4 Acidity 1.7 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

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.

Japanese>English

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

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.

Japanese>English

Sake made from Koshihikari rice, 90% polished rice, and once-fired. I chilled it. Slightly grain-like sweet and sour aroma. It has a moist sweetness and rich acidity, with a juicy umami lingering in the aftertaste, creating a luxurious atmosphere. It looks like it could be aged for a long time.

Japanese>English

Tone-Nishiki low-alcohol sake, with a QST (Quantum Science and Technology Agency) seal on it, probably because QC13, an export yeast, is used. Chilled as indicated on the label. The aroma is refreshing and sweet. The taste is mildly sweet and sour, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering richness. A little matured? It is fruity, but it does not feel out of place when paired with fish. Nagai Honke is a small brewery with a small production volume, but they have some interesting sakes that are fun to drink.

The owner of the sake shop where I often go to buy sake gave me a sample and it was delicious, so I bought it. It is a local sake from Aichi Prefecture. Slightly dry, refreshing and easy to drink. 1430 yen

Japanese>English

I recently bought this for 700 yen on the web. It seems to have been left in the shop for more than a year, so it was cheap as a disposal sake😄. It's a beautiful sake for a sake that has been neglected👍. The aroma is pear-like, but the taste reminds me of apples ️. It's sweet but crisp and very easy to drink😆. It's so easy to drink 😆 If it's this quality, I might want to buy it and drink it properly. I can't make fun of Aichi prefecture!

Japanese>English

The owner of our favorite liquor store, Higashi Ryu This year we were able to get Sasanigori without incident. The regular version of Jungin is also very tasty, so we are very interested in this one as well. The aroma is fruity and reserved. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet, and you know it's good the moment you taste it! The aftertaste is fruity and fruity. The fruitiness increases around the time of the aftertaste, and the acid bitterness at the end is mild. It is a strange sake with a sense of transparency even though it is a "Sasanigori" sake. The Sendai Aoba Festival will finally begin tomorrow. Last weekend, a purification ceremony and a lighting ceremony for the Date Gate were held, and everything is ready for the festival to get into full swing. The weather is looking good, and it is the best time of the year when the blue leaves are at their most radiant. I will be there with my tin can and singing the woodcutter's song! Please come to Sendai this weekend! Thanks for the food!

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`;) It is five years old, and when heated up, it has a slightly sweet graininess. Sourness is also light. When it cools down, the juiciness becomes more apparent. It is considered to be an old sake that is easy to drink.

Score ☆☆☆☆ Okushimizu Jungin ❣️ Misato Yukika was new to me: ‼️ I googled it, and it seems to be the name of a white lavender developed in the local town of Misato. This stylish sake is brewed with the flower yeast and Misato Nishiki sake rice, and is full of love for the local area. Perfect for a toast 🍻? It was perfect for a toast 🎶. It's been a while since I drank outside lol What a surprise! Chichi Haruei came all the way to Akita✨ Eririn also joined us from the next prefecture. Thank you both so much 😊. We finally met Chichi and shook hands 🤝 and had a toast 🍻! The first meeting was at the Sakena Navi where you can drink sake from all the breweries in Akita prefecture. The first meeting was at Sakenavi, where you can drink sake from all the sake breweries in Akita Prefecture. Now, a review of the sake. The aroma is a mild ginjo aroma that is not too assertive. No hint of lavender 💦. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, and it goes straight down your throat and down your stomach. Slight citrus acidity in the aftertaste. ❣️ It is too beautiful sake😅. The 2nd and 3rd pictures were given to me by Eririn lol Kawatan's specialty, Shinsei signboard 😁. The exterior of Sakenavi 😆.

Japanese>English

Even though I live in Akita, I don't see this sake very often. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing, sweet and fruity taste. It is made with lavender yeast, which is extracted from the rare white lavenders that grow in Misato-machi, Akita. Anyway, it is delicious.
