7.5 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcohol content : 15 Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed Sake Degree : Undisclosed Store where purchased : After all is said and done, Japanese face (Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo) Slightly amber in color. Slightly full-bodied rice malt top-drinker The aroma is like soy sauce behind the same aroma of the top rise, and the firm umami of rice and the moderate sweetness spreads zingily with soft acidity, leaving a lingering rice aroma with a moderate bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It has a mellow and unique aroma, a deep flavor, and a strange impression that does not feel heavy, making it a good match for strong-flavored meals. Even as a stand-alone sake, its mysterious impression is addictive. It goes well with grilled bonito, dashimaki egg with shrimp, teppanyaki hormone of Hikoma pork, and motsu (pork bone) stewed tofu.

. Kamofuku Brewery's Sake Sourness is soooo strong! Dry and umami. The color is golden. ✩3.5

Japanese>English

It has almost no sweetness, giving it the feel of a healthy medicinal sake...but when heated, it takes on a different flavor, with a sweetness that comes through.

After work...last year, I went to a brewery and bought some local Saitama sake🍶I enjoyed it the last time I drank it, so this time, it's Junmai♪ I can feel the delicious taste of rice from Sake Musashi♪ It has a nice sharp after taste! The aroma is citrusy? The aroma is citrusy? Since it is an unfiltered sake, it is slightly cloudy and thickened...yet it has a clear image. It is a sake to watch out for in the future.

The sweet and sour taste like green apples and the umami taste typical of nama sake coexist in good balance.

This is my first New Year's Day back in my hometown Osaka. This year, my parents invited us to their department store Osechi. My sister and her husband brought me a bottle of Okutanba as a celebratory sake. You can feel the sweetness of the rice in the beginning, but it changes to a dry taste in the middle to the end. It is a perfect match for the richly flavored Osechi and fatty yellowtail sashimi. It is said that the sake degree is +5 (dry), but I feel that it is +2~3 (slightly dry?). I guess. Anyway, it was a delicious sake. Thanks to my sister and her husband!

Japanese>English

The sake my sister and her husband served me at New Year's was so good that I decided to pick up another brand from the same brewery. Okutanba Junmai Ginjo. This is Yamana Shuzo's regular sake. As stated on the label, the brewery has a long history, having been founded in Kyoho. The Edo period (^_^;) is amazing. It was my wife's fourth birthday today. I really wanted to go out to eat, but the situation was such that we had a takeout party at a yakitori restaurant and drank at home. Thank you for your continued support. I had a cold glass of sake. Oh, dry? It's been a while since I've had a dry, crisp sake. Even though it's light and refreshing, you can still feel the taste of the rice right after you put it in your mouth. At the same time, there is a sense of alcohol, but the aftertaste is short, so it gives a refreshing impression. According to the brewery's website, it has a sake strength of +1. ＋Hmm? +1? It's not dry, is it? Once again, I realized that the accuracy of my tongue sensor is disappointing (tears). Well, everyone has their own way of feeling.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Okutanba 🍶The aroma is subdued, the sake is light and clean, with a soft sweetness and a short, sharp finish 😊It goes well with Kaisendon, another bottle I want to drink again ✨.

٩٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Taiheikai today😄. I've only had Taiheikai 1314 once and it's been a while since I've bought it ✨😀😀. Almost no aroma 🤔In the mouth, it is fire-brewed but the sensation of freshness fills the mouth. It's a good combination of matured and fresh 😚😊Mellow and calm with a good umami and a crisp acidity 😋. I don't know if it is suitable for today's suddenly cooler weather, but it was delicious . I don't know, but it was delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had the Taiheikai 😀. The aroma is mild and when you drink it, it's fresh and fruity with a slight swoosh😄The acidity comes at the end but just right✨. It was a modern type of sake😙.

Japanese>English

Gassy, white wine-like acidity and sweetness. A hint of bitterness. Muscat-like aroma. Delicious.

I bought this at AEON Liquor when I went to AEON Katsuragawa with a friend. I was looking for something unusual for the parking fee 😁. I've had Fudo before, but this is the first time I've had Niiyu. It has a honey-like aroma. The flavor is beautiful and gorgeous, but it's a bit too refreshing for an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. I would like a little more umami... I think it has a lot of rice flavor 🤔.

Japanese>English

Good evening, first series here 💁 from Niiyu. Also known as Fudo Toi brand, this is a test brew of Niiyu's frog series 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Rice is undisclosed🍶. As usual, from the aroma, there is a slight melon ginjo aroma, and the taste is like drinking sweet, fresh melon juice 🍈 There is not much acidity or fizz, so it has a fruit juice feel. The second half is delicious with a solid volume from the alcohol 😋.

Cheers to the ministry at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant! I had the afternoon off, so I went to a nearby sushi restaurant and had a little sake. I had no choice but to drink this sake. It is 180ml, so it ran out quickly. It was 180 ml, so it ran out quickly. I was hoping that they would have a few more kinds of sake on hand, so I could enjoy it more. Kuh

The entry is soft with a slight citrus aroma, and the overall taste is dry with a moderate amount of flavor typical of Omachi rice. My wife and son had bought some spicy chicken from Saizeriya's take-out, and we enjoyed it as a snack.
