Japanese>English

This is my first "Sasaichi"! It is less umami than the previous "Kai no Kaiun", but it is more acidic, which makes it twice as easy to drink ✨. I'd like to try the "Tadashi" someday!

( ´ ´ ` )🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had a bottle of A-Sakura purchased at Murai, a local sake brewery 😄A collaboration product with A-Sakura? I found it in a corner shop in Akita station 🤔. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma, and the dryness comes after the umami of the rice 😚 It has a nice sharpness and would go well with any food 😘The description "umami dry" is right on the money 😙I felt it was like a royal road sake 😀.

Japanese>English

Second drink~♪ Yes, a sip and a piquant! Ah, here comes the taste of sizzling rice after a nice spiciness ˃˃. Super nice and dry Junmai! I drank it all while thinking "So that's what this is all about!

Japanese>English

I'm not sure if it's a good idea 🥂. I bought this sake out of curiosity when I saw it at the store 😅It was a gorgeous and delicious junmai ginjo sake 😋.

The aroma is cemedine smell, amber color...I think it is not good...but...the taste is sweet and bitter! The bitterness may bother you a little. It's a good choice for a food drink. You can feel the flavor of the Osan Nishiki rice. It's delicious.

Meister's Blend ☺️, which you don't usually see. It's called a blend of old brews. This is a good ministry ️. The old sake is not too peculiar, but mellow and sweetness is emphasized 😄. It's mellow and sweetness is emphasized 😄️. As time goes by, the custardiness will change to a raisin-like texture. I️ enjoy it every time I drink it 😆.

Japanese>English

Easy to drink ❗ Crisp taste. After drinking it, the aroma of the rice lingers faintly. I was attracted by the hybrid method of Nanbu-ryu and Echigo-ryu on the label.

I'm not sure 🏠. I think I'll drink some more 🍶. I bought this with ZOO. Sweetness of brewed alcohol ZOO might be easier to drink 😅 Scallops grilled with Tasake sauce for entrée! ⬆️ I went to Aomori so I bought scallops ✌️ Aomori scallops are delicious 🎶. hokke Kinpira gobo (fried burdock root) pickled sweet potato with wasabi It is cold;:((՞-﹏-՞));::: It is cold. It's been cold in the morning and evening for a few days, so it might be good to drink it warmed up 🍶.

Here is another Kashen Kunimare. This time it's 900ml version. It's a little bit cheaper. It's as good as ever.

The second sake is from Japan's northernmost sake brewery, Kunimei! It's sake from Hokkaido - how could it not go well with crab! I thought. We had it with grilled crab meat in the shell as a side dish. Without a doubt, it was the perfect sake for crabs and seafood.

(*^▽^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I stopped by a liquor store on my way home from exploring Fukui Station the other day and bought this Echizen Cape ✨😀 I haven't seen it in about 4 years 🐧. The aroma is a bit of a gorgeous ginjo aroma😊The mouthfeel is smooth and the sweetness and umami of the rice is elegant in the mouth 😘The aftertaste is short and disappears quickly 😚👍. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake 🥳👍

If you are looking for a good drink, you can find one here. I was in Tokyo for 2 days of training at my company and was stuck in a hotel for the entire training 😵I got a small bottle of Tamanjutsu in the hotel room 😊It was purchased at Bic Camera 🫡. It had a cup on the lid 😚The taste was mild, with the refined sweetness and flavor of rice and a hint of sourness 😋. It was a good sake to drink before going to bed. 🙆‍♀️

It arrived just a few minutes ago. This morning, the sake was pressed early in the morning. It seems I forgot to buy it last year, but this year I reserved it and bought it. I couldn't stand it, so I had a cup in my inoguchi. I love Tomikunishiki, but this year's Risshun morning pressing has a little acidity, a clean throat, and not much of an aftertaste. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

I went to the Tomikunishiki New Sake Festival yesterday and today. I bought a bottle of Shiboritate and sake lees this year too. I opened the bottle right away. This year's Shiboritate seems to be more fruity than usual. It's delicious. I love Tomihunishiki after all❤️.

Japanese>English

It's that time of year again ♪ We were able to get enough plums for two bottles, so we have two this year. One of them, actually I couldn't pickle plums last year because of the bad harvest, so I left it, but I hope it's okay. Basic shape and refreshing. I'm looking forward to winter ☺️.

It is a punchy sake with a strong rice flavor, sweetness, and alcohol. It seems to go well with any dishes.

Japanese>English

It's an Ibaraki sake bar, but they also sell a lot of small bottles 😆. So I bought a small bottle as a souvenir 🤣. I wanted to drink hot sake, so I chose this one that looks good for hot sake. This is Tsuki no I of Oarai ❗️ Yumbe Yokocho is the best place to drink, just stick the bottle in ❤️. I'll have it at 50°C 😋😋. Nice caramel color. And the aged aroma that smells powwow. It has a gentle, light, sweet mouthfeel and a moderate acidity. It has a gentle, light, sweet mouthfeel with just the right amount of acidity and a nice, sweet taste. I paired it with shime saba (mackerel) and it's great ☺️. The vinegariness that is unique to shime saba is refreshingly clean, yet the sweetness and umami of the sake is still there 😋. I thought it would be a bit more dry, but it wasn't as dry as I thought it would be 😉. Ibaraki sake review rate is going up because of the Ibaraki sake bar 😂.

Junmai 🍶. This one is also warmed up 🍶 slightly bitter and light for its age ✨. Delicious when savored carefully. A little creamy and bitter with Hoya (Japanese sea squirt) marinated in miso. Dry. The texture is like a scallop without the smell. Sake and Robata Yaki Unari @ Omiya 20231122

I had been curious about this sake for a while. I chose a pink light nigori. At the time of writing this comment, I could not give a detailed taste report, It is not sweet, but it has a refreshing fruity taste.

It has a complex combination of acidity, sweetness, umami, and bitterness, and is neither heavy nor light, making it easy to drink and delicious.

When I tasted it, it seemed sweet and juicy, but not quite. Should I leave it for a bit?

Nara's summer sake❣️ This is a summer version of Hyakurakumon, a famous sake of Gosho along with Kaze no Mori and Shinomine, made with rice outside the standard range and labeled on the back 😋. It looks cool and smells like melon 🍈. Refreshing, mellow, mildly dry ❣️. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink 😋😋. It's a jungin spec, but at 1,300 yen for a four-pack, it's easy on the wallet 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 🙏.
