Aroma: fruity♪Drinking mouth: sweet and bitter! The aftertaste is a bit bitter...it's a traditional local sake. I think it is not to everyone's taste...I drink it with kimuchi nabe (kimchi nabe)...it is delicious as a food sake 🍶...

I let this one sit in the fridge for a year because I didn't want to waste it. It tasted better the next day than freshly opened.

Delicious. Nothing else to say.

It has been a long time since I have had a Genmai. The aroma is slightly fruity, the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and the taste is sharp! Enjoying the delicious taste of Miyamanishiki....... I am enjoying it with my favorite sashimi of kibinago and isobe-age firefly squid......................

Japanese>English

Smells of grapes and oil clay. The wine has a pungent, thick, pungent, sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and pleasant to drink. The juiceiness, saliva-like flavor, and bitterness. Powerful. It is delicious! It does not become watery in the middle. A delicious sake that makes you want to eat a meal.

Japanese>English

The first touch is a gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. You can feel the slight sweetness and deliciousness. All of the Genmai are dusty 😙.

I was in Shima Onsen again, and I was looking for Yuzu Yuzu for aperitifs and it was delicious 🤣. There it was, this, this - sweet and tasty 🤤. It is so easy to drink, it's like a juice.

Last night, I was invited by a colleague from a different department and a few of us had a drink at home - 🏠️🍺 We brought our own sake, Koray🍶. Refreshing, clean, slightly dry ~✨🍶💠 Fruity aroma and texture✨ A little crisp after swallowing 😆. Super oicy ❕. Nomiyasui✨ The 4 of us finished it in no time ‼️ We enjoyed it so much!

Year-end party with company friends Deep drinking as usual by Mr. Jikon It's meat. I still don't understand "It's minced meat" but I used it because I ate meat. I'm a sore uncle. This yuto. It was dark and delicious. I thought it was Ibaraki, but it was Gunma.

My favorite Yamori 😍Yamori has been delicious since New Year's 🍶...Hachitanishiki-like fruity rice with a sweet aroma and a fresh mouthfeel...light and refreshing...then sharp! It doesn't disturb the taste of the Setsume...I can't help but drink too much...YAMORISHIGE is delicious....

Japanese>English

Junmai Oragami from my favorite 😘yamori! Personally, I like Hachitan-nishiki...the sweet bitterness of the first swallow...the moderate bitterness and sharpness of the aftertaste...exquisite...delicious...delicious! It's not for beginners, is it? This is good for sake lovers!

Japanese>English

I love "Yamori" (😋)🦎♪ Sweet fruity aroma of rice, sweet taste, good acidity & bitterness....Hachitan Nishiki is exceptional....excellent balance of sweetness, acidity & bitterness, good aftertaste....I think it's a winner in my book! ...It goes well with seasonal firefly squid (🦑) & fresh bonito (🐟) dishes as snacks......it's a "winner" in my opinion....

Clay, apple smell. Juicy sweet, apple, astringent flavor. The sweetness that rushes through when swallowing is refreshing. Pungent, bitter zoon of spiciness, umami comes back to life. The spiciness and bitterness are very refreshing. The richness of the flavor fits well with the taste. It is a good sake.

Japanese>English

The supreme sweetness. The home drinking of the Imi is, tension. The back label is always fun too. The sake rice is Ibinohomare, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, and the alcohol content is 16%. The alcohol content is 16 degrees.

Japanese>English

It is the representative of sweet umami in my mind. White koji and yellow koji are woven together. The harmony of a peculiar flavor. It has a sweetness that is heavy. It has a refreshing aftertaste with acidity. We opened a special bottle for drinking at home while watching the Olympics. I opened a bottle of the best one The gold medal rush is making me drunk.

I have been curious about this one for a long time...Chuai! The slight fruity aroma characteristic of Miyamanishiki, the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the bitterness of the finish! The moderate lingering aftertaste lingers... I'm sipping it with sashimi, hamo tempura, and local edamame (green soybeans)... Yum! Delicious 😋Hatsuchuai!

Japanese>English

Fresh, with a good balance of sweet and sour flavors

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku? The taste is lively and fresh, as only a new brew of sake can be. It claims to be dry, but it is not that dry, and has a refreshing finish that is not sweet. It has a good balance and a high cosmetic ministry. I would love to try other brands.

I was looking forward to drinking it. Fruity and fresh aroma...mouthfeel...sweet and delicious 😋 with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste...maybe my expectations were too high...it's delicious, but it's a classic sake.... Maybe it's because it's one of the specs of "⭐️"...a little disappointing...I'll drink a higher spec next time...

Japanese>English

While bringing the rich flavor to the fore It has a good aftertaste that can be cut quickly. The rice polishing ratio is 80%. I don't understand the logic behind such a beautiful taste. I don't understand it at all. It is my own word of praise.

Japanese>English

Fresh rice, fresh smell of milk that I've never smelled before. It tastes like a schwash, lees flavor, and the bitter part of the grapefruit is sharp and clean. Good! Dry. Easy to drink. The flavor comes out again, full and powerful. I see that the rarity is indicated by stars. It will be hard to find if you want this powerful feeling and clean dryness. The second day is also delicious.

Continuing from yesterday, a comparison of the tops of the median that was given to me by Princess Sabori: ‼️ First, the blue label ‼️ This is R3BY It's a Tokushun but with 50% polished rice 🤣. The aroma is like grape 🍇? It has a gentle sweetness and a bitter finish that is also gentle and tasty 😋 I think I prefer it to Araubashiri. Next, I'm going to try the R2BY black label supernatant 👍.

Japanese>English

Forgot to post this😆 Then the R4's. I knew I prefer the taste of this one 😋. I think I like the taste of the one year aged one better 😋 It's mellower or calmer....

Japanese>English

Followed by Origami: ‼️ I took the supernatant before mixing it, and it was not so different from the supernatant before 🤣. No wonder 😆. When I mix it, the flavor is so much better 😋 I would like to repeat this 👍! It's also cosmetically good to buy only the "ogara-mi" and enjoy it twice 😆.

( ´´▽｀)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first Yui Yui Hitachinomegumi, which we purchased on our GW trip 😀. After purchasing it, I was disappointed to learn that the brewery was destroyed by fire. I hope to drink some of the Yuki Sake Brewery's sake and hope it is rebuilt 🥺. The aroma is mild and also has a mild rice flavor, combined with a pleasant acidity 🤔 with a clean aftertaste 😚 It is a beautiful sake and I would like to have the basic Yui label next time 😊.

Japanese>English

The third drink at Kaku-uchi When we were told that it was time to go home, we chose for our last drink the miraculous Yui Yui sake that was rescued from the scene of a fire^ ^ ^. It has a refreshing taste... and you feel refreshed after drinking it! It's just so easy to drink! And delicious! I would like to try this sake with a meal next time. I sincerely hope the brewery recovers as soon as possible 🙏. A little something extra... I could not eat the snack of Kishu Nanko Ume because they were out of stock due to the heat of the day (T . T)

Japanese>English

Today, I got the Yui! Opened the bottle and the aroma is good. In the mouth, easily, not much sweetness, no sourness. But I feel something that is not bitterness. That's as far as I got, I couldn't even tell the characteristics of the rice... Maybe next time..! Maybe..,
