The other day, after eating my second bowl of ramen🍜🍥🍜 at the SUSURU Ramen Fest Toyama, I took a walk and bought this at Mizuhata-san. This is the first time I have ever had San Shoraku 😀. The aroma is mild and not too much 🤔The mouthfeel is smooth and light with a gentle sweetness and mild acidity 😊The taste is strong but disappears easily 😚👍. It was a light yet robust and delicious sake 🥳.

Toyama Eki-naka Sake Bar (7) Sanjoraku Yamahai Honjozo This sake is probably best served warmed, but it was also good cold. It's getting hard to drink standing up...

Sanjoraku's unique flavor is still there! The sweetness and umami that comes afterwards is good👍 I want to eat pickles with it 😁.

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.

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 ☺️.

Sake meter value +8. Very robust and dry, but The ginjo aroma makes it elegant and cohesive. It can be enjoyed on its own or It is also perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.

Japanese>English

The first sip is unexpected. The taste is clean and refreshing. But when you take your time to taste it, you will realize that it is the Etsukaijin's strong and complex flavor that sells it. Etsukaijin is known for its powerful and complex flavors. You can taste the robust umami.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Etsukaijin. As the label clearly states. Sake degree +10 degrees, alcohol level is around 18 degrees. It has a thick and rich taste. It is well-balanced with a touch of sharpness. It is a brand that I would like to follow for a while. In order to conquer the whole country This is one of the bottles that I chose while hesitating in Kagawa prefecture which was empty. If I hadn't been working at Sake no Wa I'm sure I would never have drunk it. I really appreciate it.

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.

Japanese>English

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

Japanese>English

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 🙏.

A little dry. But delicious. You can feel the flavor of sake rather than fruity. I️ got drunk while I was thinking about what to have for a snack.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second one in the Hokkaido series. Kokushi Muso is a metaphor for being so good that no two people under the sun are alike. I was expecting it to have a strong alcoholic taste, but I was betrayed in a good way. It has a fruity aroma and a refreshing, clean taste that goes well with any meal. I think I'll end up drinking too much of it. But the words "Hokkaido Limited" are magic. I feel like I got a great deal just from this word.

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Hokkaido rice Kitshizuku Rice polishing ratio : 55 Sake meter : +3 Acidity: 1.7 Alcohol content: 17-18%. Sold at: Takasago Shuzo (Asahikawa City) When opened, it has a gaseous feeling. Almost no gas Slightly alcoholic grape-like top note The aroma is like light grapes and peaches, the umami of rice and gentle sweetness spreads with soft acidity, and it finishes with a hint of bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness. The aroma and sweetness are mild, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, giving it a mildly juicy impression. It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It went well with crispy grilled chicken (salted and teriyaki flavors), turnip and chicken in cream sauce.

I got "Cedar Cider" which I have been interested in for a while... I was careful when I opened the bottle... but I succeeded without spilling it... Junmai brewed with Yamadanishiki❗️I was surprised by the bubbling when I opened the bottle! This is awesome! Not much aroma? I had a glass of this with some tuna kamatoro & tuna fillets....great with meat too! This is overpriced!

Japanese>English

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten on the recommendation of the young proprietress💕. 📌720ml ¥1,430 This is the third bottle of banquet👍 The aroma is very alcoholic. The color is cloudy. The sourness comes to the surface and the spiciness is felt as it goes down 💕My eldest and second son did not like it💕. Personally, I think it is easy to drink with little habit 😄👍👍

Japanese>English

I bought it at the usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I decided to buy it because it is the season of Hiyaoroshi ✌️ The label is also interesting and I bought it quickly. 📌720ml ¥1,155 The oldest The aroma is not very strong, the color is slightly golden, but it is very beautiful. The taste is smooth and silky, and it goes in easily. Shizuoka's local sake is delicious! It's also very good value for money! It has a strength of 19 degrees! I'm drunk! I feel so good ✌️💕!

A gift of Tokyo's local sake. The aroma is old-fashioned, with a faint shark... The mouthfeel is full of the delicious flavor of rice. As the label on the back says, it is a new sake, so it is fresh but rough, maybe a little dry. I wonder if it's good as a food sake... I'm sipping it with albacore tempura and fish yukke as a side dish.

(OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL On the second day of my cup life, I had a Sawanoi from Tokyo. I had a little bit of it at first, and then half of it hot 😀 The cold version was refreshing, but the hot version had a great aroma and was refreshing to drink. Maybe I heated it up too much and lost the alcohol😎.

Japanese>English

I think it tastes better if you warm it up a bit. I think I'll buy a bottle of "Nobee Yokocho".

I finally opened it. This is the time of year to drink.

Japanese>English

As understood from the label, it is an original label of Hotel Epinar Nasu that probably exists in Nasu Kogen. The aroma is like a picture of green apples🍏. I drank it with cold sake, but it was a little sweet and very refreshing. It is easy to drink because there is no spiciness of alcohol. There is no strong impact on the palate, but it is a delicious sake😄. It goes well with sushi🍣👍. I also really liked the match with yuba😋
