I bought it because a liquor store in my neighborhood started handling Tajima. I was surprised at how fruity it was. It is fresh, moderately sweet, and delicious. It is a more modern sake than I expected. After drinking this after the first time, it feels more like a sake 🤔.

This sake was tasted at the Kobe Hankyu event and made a good impression, and was highly praised by Nemuchi-san. A liquor store in my neighborhood became a special distributor, but I was wondering why they didn't carry this sake. It was in the fridge of a point system sake, so I thought 😅😅I thought, "No way, I can buy it normally. I thought so, but I was able to buy it normally😅. It's confusing💦. The rice is Hyogo Nishiki. Sweet aroma. It is fire-aged but has a quite rich flavor. It is better not to cool it down too much. It is a little smoky.

Rice used is unknown There is a bunch! It has a very "Yamahaku" feeling. The sense of maturity is also there. The taste is dry, but the sweetness is spreading on the tongue. The sharpness is not bad either. As the temperature rises, it becomes milder. This type of sake tastes better when it is not too cold.

It has a flavor suitable for lukewarm heating. It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai-shu! It has the same flavor as Kumano Nachinotaki Junmai Sake! I can't tell the difference! ✩3.5

A friend of mine who is a fisherman landed it in Katsuura, Wakayama and gave it to me as a souvenir. It has a classic flavor with a subdued smell, but it goes well with sashimi and kakiage (deep fried shrimp), and is easy to drink. I warmed up about 1 gou of the sake, which I enjoyed, but the two fishermen said they preferred it cold. Thank you very much!

Juicy aroma reminiscent of pears and ripe apricots. The rich flavor and sweetness of the Omachi grape, as well as the fresh and powerful taste of the unpasteurized sake, make this a very appealing wine. The firm acidity keeps the aftertaste clean and tight, making it an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes, including sashimi, herb-infused meat dishes, white meat fish carpaccio, and cream pasta.

Toyokuni (modern-day Japanese brand of haloperidol) I also found the fruit to be fermented and a little smoky. I would like to try it again as it usually seems to be a melon. Series name from the brewery name "Toyokuni

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. I bought it at the end of last year at an antenna store in Toyama. I didn't know about this brand. The color is a light amber. The color is pale amber, and the flavor is just as it should be. It's relatively easy to drink because it's crisp and not overpowering, but it didn't seem to suit my partner who likes floral and sweet flavors. It didn't match well with the grilled chicken, but I think it will swell up with time, so I'll leave it for a while. It's quite a unique sake, and I don't dislike it!

Japanese>English

I have had Taitozan before, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it for the first time in a while. It has a slightly astringent white wine-like aftertaste with almost no sweetness. I think it is best to drink it with fish dishes, which is a standard white wine. Since it is winter from now on, yellowtail and radish would be delicious. I, of course, drink it only with sake.

This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

I was drunk and went to bed first, My partner and daughter screamed in the middle of the night😱. I woke up in a panic and found a bug! I killed it instantly with a kincho0 under the sun ‼️ The case was safely settled. I was woken up, so I thought I'd have a drink and go back to sleep. In the fridge, Nahami's sacred sake from Akita ✨. I'm so happy ㊗️ to open it 😁. I got it from the altar at my partner's work lol I'm going to have a look at this and some surume 🤣. I looked at the label and thought 💦 Naba? It has a peculiar taste 😅. And then I opened the bottle 🎉. And then a sip... You're a quirky guy! By Chidori Nobu style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Score☆☆☆ Conclusion, don't drink sake... 😱

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_63 Akita Prefecture booth 4 Naba Shoten Co., Ltd. is located in Akita City. The current sake brewery was built in 1927-3, the first reinforced concrete structure in Tohoku. Ginrin Kurukuru A refreshing sourness, but with a hint of umami. It has a slightly modern feel, with a slightly yogurt-like sourness. I like the kurukuru label and have been buying and drinking it, but I don't know where I bought it...probably at a liquor store near Mt.

The first frozen sake I've ever had! The flavor was so good that I was able to finish it by myself.

When opened, it has a strong spicy impression and is quite harsh. After a while, the spiciness becomes moderate, and sweetness and umami can be felt. However, the spiciness comes slowly. It is a good sake to drink slowly.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

I got this at a sake brewery when I stopped by Kurayoshi on a trip. It was 20 degrees Celsius, sharp and dry sake🍶 I bought this one after being allowed to sample a variety of sake. I was told by the store staff that it was very strong, but it was very weak!
