A faint sweet aroma of rice...strong bitter sweetness and bitterness....traditional flavors....for the experts. Good as a food sake 👍It is good with hot pot in winter time....

Japanese>English

Takashi Kofuji Special Junmai Nama Sake. Like kino.san, I thought it was takashi at first😅.

Japanese>English

Takashi is a first time drinker. It has a strong umami flavor with a little chestnut and nutty taste. It has a modest flavor with little assertiveness, and is suitable for a mealtime drink. I think it is suitable for aging. I prefer it at a higher temperature than when it is chilled.

It's my first time to drink Hakuin Masamune. It's a sake I've never had the chance to drink before. I've been drinking a lot of sweet and sour sake lately, so I thought I'd try some dry sake. Danrei Dry. It has a moderate aroma and is dry enough to drink with a meal.

From a junior 🎁. It's not enough to give it to a drinker. I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it. But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣. It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich. The rice flavor is concentrated. It's a sake you want to drink well.

Japanese>English

We will eat while learning about the history of the tub sales. It has a good aroma. It has sweetness, umami, and overall strength, and goes down the throat well. It is a tasty sake with a punch.

Japanese>English

It is said to be an irregular sake. The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅. The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san. Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character. The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu. I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.

It was hot today 🥵. On a day like this, it's a good time to take a look at the popular craft sakes‼️ It's not classified as sake 😅Other brewed sake: ‼️ Well, chu-hi? Cocktail? It's like a juice because of the low alcohol content 🍹It's refreshing and I like to drink it with fried food on a hot day 😋. But it's not very cosy, so I won't have it next time 😅.

Japanese>English

Good evening, I am posting my second one. This is a new one by LIBROM ✨ on a recent private expedition to Hakata, Fukuoka. BATON TOUCH No.3 Sweet Summer and Japanese Hakka The refreshing aroma of citrus fruits, the gas from the second fermentation in the bottle is pleasant, and the bitterness and spiciness of the Japanese Hakka on the back end make it easy to drink 🍶😋😋😋. It's like a juice, but it's delicious in its own way.

Japanese>English

I will post a second one this evening. LIBROM x UNITEDARROWS x Hamadaya Sake Shop Smoothie Sour Sake Banana🍌🍌🍌 It's a craft saké called Smoothie Sour Sake, which is made by LIBROM's doburoku process with a large amount of domestic bananas. ☺️ The aroma and quality of the sake is similar to that of a plum liqueur, but the banana flavor comes through in the aftertaste. When mixed with the sedimentary layer, it turns into a thicker, thicker Doburoku. The creaminess and volume come through, but it is not at all weirdly strong, and the banana flavor is very mild and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋.

Purchased at Seibu-Chichibu station. It has a classical Japanese sake flavor. It is better to drink it as it is with strong flavored food than to drink it as it is. ⭕️ A robust Junmai sake... maybe not my favorite...

Japanese>English

I drank it all so fast: ❗️ It was a tangy, fizzy and tasty rice flavor.

Purchased at Maya I've had Aizu Ryugasawa before, but this is my first Eikawa. The initial aroma is pear-like. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness like green apple. Not too sweet and dry, like a cider.

Japanese>English

I'll upload more and more of my accumulated sake 😅 I've never had this sake from Eikawa before: ❗️ It's a 13% light one: ❗️ Not much aroma 🤔. It's easy to drink with a gentle sweetness ‼️ I could drink this sake with ease😊.

Japanese>English

There is sake in Tohoku. The owner of Aji Sodara Okachimachi in Izu, whose parents are from Fukushima, also has sake from Fukushima. The quality of Fukushima sake goes without saying. From the sweet aroma, the taste is less sweet and full-bodied.

I got this one at my wife's parents' house. I've drunk Rumiko-san before, but this is the first time I've had an active muddy one😙. After 10 minutes of opening and closing the bottle, I finally made a toast🍾 It's fresh and crispy❣️and tingly❣️. It's got a nice sourness and bitterness to it 😆. I think I may have drunk the most 🤪! Thanks for the treat🙏.

I've been drinking a lot of cold sake lately, so I had it heated for the first time in a while 🥰. The rice flavor is very strong and perfect for warming up ️. The mild and soothing taste is very relaxing 😊.

7 points (wife: 6.5 points) Ingredients : rice (domestic rice), rice malt, brewing alcohol Sake meter : ±0 Alcohol percentage : 15 Acidity : 1.2 Rice polishing ratio: 65 Amino acidity: 1.6 Yeast: Kumamoto yeast (Kyokai No. 9) Store Hakata Motsu Nabe YAMAYA Sapporo Ekimae Dori Store Slightly apple-like aroma on the top. The same mild aroma as the first sip, the firm umami of rice spreads gradually with a plump sweetness and fine acidity, and is quickly quenched by the spiciness of the alcohol and a moderate bitterness. While the umami of the rice is firm, the dryness of the alcohol in the latter half makes it easy to drink. This sake has a somewhat classical impression. It is better to drink it with a meal than on its own. It goes well with motsu nabe and cod roe dishes.

Japanese>English

I bought it in Kumamoto during my Shikoku - Kyushu - Kinki trip last year. It was a brand I wanted to try at least once, and I was so happy that I let it sit for more than a year. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it smelled like honey and custard. The mouthfeel is moist and sweet. It has a savory, caramel-like flavor and a balance of sweet and sour astringency. It is so delicious that you can't help but smile! The full-bodied sweetness and bitter astringency in the aftertaste. The taste is not too strong, but has a high level of quality, and is very similar to a pudding! I will never forget the delicious sake, ramen and Kumamoto Castle, even if it was only for a short time. I hope to visit again someday👍.
