I liked this sake because of its strong name. It is the sake that protected the sea of Tsugaru.

Special Junmai Shiboritate Nama-shu from Ando Suigun 🏴‍☠️. Koji: Hanabukiyuki🌾Kakemai: Mashigure🌾. We got almost the bottom of the bottle🍶. The top aroma is sweet with a hint of richness. In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness and a full-bodied flavor with a hint of millet sugar. The finish is crisp and refreshing, as is typical of Aomori sake. Last year it was very light, perhaps because the rice was too hard, but this year it is very good 😊 (sorry to sound so arrogant). It was delicious 🍶🏴‍☠️

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

Aizan 45% polished It goes in quickly and the berry flavor of Aizan comes, and the flavor spreads with just the right amount of alcohol. It is a Daiginjo, but it has a strong umami taste.

Fruity aroma spreads in the mouth despite the dryness of the sake.

This is the limitted bottle of the liquor shop. It was brewed during pre-war time. It's brewed by the Kimoto Method, creating a fruity like muscat and slightly dry taste.

さく(*´´∀*)ますますますます It is a cup of sake today. I'm wondering which sake I'll open tomorrow.

Japanese>English

It is Shiraga Suzuro. It is a delicious sake with a sweet flavor and ends with a bitter taste. It is also the best in terms of cosmetics.

Japanese>English

I'm here today for my department's farewell party! We had a beer, 2 mega highballs, and 4 bottles of warm water, and when they were all nicely tinted, we threw in some sake 🍶. I drank it hot, and it had a nice, mild taste of rice with a smooth texture and a nice smooth taste down my throat! It is not too assertive, but in a good way, it is not like a hot sake, and it also promotes the sake and the meal 👍. I'm having so much fun I can't even think about writing a note about how I feel about it!

Local sake for dinner. You can buy it in supermarkets in Tokyo 🍶.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. Banana-like. Strong smell of alcohol. The palate is mellow, with moderate sweetness and acidity. There is a bitter taste, but it does not linger and is pleasantly sharp.

Japanese>English

The appearance is transparent and pale crystal silver. The nose is gorgeous and full, with hints of pear, banana, and acacia. There is a freshness of green bamboo, lime minerality, mushroom and chestnut aroma, and sour cream fermentation. The first impression on the palate is rather strong, with plump sweetness, round and firm acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. The aftertaste is rather long.

@sakebar Fukuzo Fire-brewed sake using Fukuoka Prefecture's original yeast called F44. Slightly sweet aroma of 🍍 on the nose. The palate is slightly sweet with a hint of 🍍. The aroma is as if it was made with hana-yosuyu in mind. However, the aroma is weak because it is fire-aged. The sweetness is also weak due to the weak aroma. I am a little curious to see how it would be like if it were a fresh sake. It was delicious ✨🍍.

I can't believe I'm going to be here. What a delicious aroma! It's been sitting in the fridge for 3 years. I couldn't bring myself to open it... I wonder if it's matured? Clean and refreshing taste with no corners. Lactobacillus-based sweetness and sourness Delicious! Now it's time to stir When I stirred the thick oli... Hmmm... I shouldn't have mixed it... But it's true, you never hear of aged ooze... I learned a lot!

Japanese>English

The sweetness first fills the mouth, and then the tanginess of the alcohol makes it a sake that tastes great when drunk hot, just like old Japanese sake.

Tonight, I'm dropping my second bottle of the first series as well🤗. This is Yaemon from the Yamatogawa Sake Brewery out of Kitakata, Fukushima ✨. The nose is clean, fruity and citrusy. The first sip has a clean, fruity, citrusy aroma with a hint of green banana sweetness and a dry, crisp finish. It is perfectly suited for a mealtime sake. The rice is undisclosed, but I imagine it to be Gohyakumangoku or Yumenokou, and I like the taste.

Japanese>English

[Mutsubu Nigori Sake This is the first bottle I bought at the Fukushima Museum in Nihonbashi. I'm not sure what to make of it. The aroma is like strawberry 🍓. This is the first time I've ever had this kind of beer. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing. I don't think it would go well with sashimi... It's a good marriage with rich, sweet and spicy chicken liver 😋I'm sure it would go well with pumpkin stew as well.

It was sold in a bottle at a supermarket. 10 kinds were available, and I bought 3 bottles for 880 yen. I think it was 880 yen. I'm not sure if it's the same or not. I like Eikoh because it is easy to drink ☺️.

Japanese>English

It's direct sake ⚡️. It's deep in the middle of sweet and spicy 😽💕. It's so thick, it's classified as a mellow sake! I feel like I'm drowning in Eikun's swamp😅.
