This is the first time I've drunk this since they changed the label design. Mild but fruity. It has a calm feeling. It has a melon-like atmosphere. Deep and juicy.

Japanese>English

This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

Japanese>English

Longing! Going to Sakelabo Tokyo (^_^)☆. I'm going to go to Sakaelabo Tokyo. (2) Jukishin Ehime's sake, is it your first time? What the heck, I don't remember much lol. Maybe I ( '-')swooned ⤴︎ and drank it naturally.

The aroma immediately after opening the bottle is thin. The taste is light and gentle. It's too beautiful to drink 😁 Let's try it at room temperature.

(*^▽^*)wdwdwdwdwd It is a purchase when I went to Fukui Prefecture last week. I was attracted by the pop of "Shah of Gundam" and bought it. The aroma is mild immediately after opening the bottle. It is a very good product. taste. It is quick and refreshing. It is a small bottle of 300ml, so it was a moment💦

Japanese>English

Looks like: .... Pale amber in color. Aroma is ripe apples? The mouthfeel is like apple vinegar...sweet and sour with a slight bitterness. It's an image of traditional Japanese sake. I'm drinking it with "blowfish skin" and "boiled nameta".

Miho Tottori GET your long awaited warmed sake! This is a nigori sake made from Yamada-Nishiki, with a deep flavor that is delicious warmed up. Handmade tofu with salmon roe on the side!

Japanese>English

This will be my first time in Sanin Togo🍶. The first aroma is sweet, with a hint of grain rather than rice. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity and a sweet umami taste of rice. It has a slight peculiarity similar to that of Ten Asahi or Benten Musume, but this is acceptable. I enjoyed it with oysters in oil 🦪. San-in region's heated sake has its own peculiar taste 🤔. Thanks for the food 🍶.

I went to a liquor store near Niigata Station and asked the clerk, "Do you have any Yamama?" The clerk replied cheerfully, "We are out of Yamama, but we have Koshinoshiratori now. What is it? Koshino Jakucho...?" The clerk explained that the sake is made in the same tanks as Yamama, and that the middle sake is Yamama, while the aggressive and rough-run sake is Koshino-Shiratori. Well, I didn't know such a sake existed.... It is really amazing. I immediately had it in a wine glass, and the sweetness, umami, aroma, and gasiness were to my liking....................

Japanese>English

A sake brewery in the mountains. Dry taste is just right for a meal. There is no smell. When you drink it, you will be surprised by the delicious taste of rice. It is just right for a dinner drink.

Japanese>English

It is light and has no peculiarities, but you can also taste the rice.

Sake that goes well with mackerel? Sabadesh. No front taste...? But it has a taste in the back. Easy to drink. Might go better with fried food.

The mouthfeel is clean, but sweetness soon hits, followed by light umami. A delicious mouthfeel.

I ordered this because they said the money for this will be donated to the Noto earthquake. It will be hot 🍶. Oh no, there was only one left when I thought this was the Mexicali Tempura. It doesn't feel special, but it's a nice sake that goes perfectly with a meal. It wasn't stingy at all. I can't read the label. It's black, which is what a beginner in calligraphy did.

Japanese>English

It is a dry sake with a crisp, mellow flavor from the ginjo brewing and junmai brewing. Although it is dry, you will not feel the dryness, and it becomes softer when heated. Excellent with sashimi, sushi and other fish dishes.

Japanese>English

Yuyuu Special Junmai⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 68%, ALC 15 degrees This is the restaurant we used at last week's [Gurutonami Chigasaki]. The June sake, which was supposed to be our first encounter, was sold out the other day, so we revisited the restaurant for a lunchtime drink. It is dry and refreshing to drink. It went perfectly with the sashimi platter (tuna, yellowtail, bonito, and sea bream) and bonito stew that I ordered for lunch. Chigasaki Miyagawa: 20250627

☆☆☆☆☆ I've had Beian Daigoku before, but this is the first time I've had Iyari. It is a lineup of Yamahai. It has the same flavor as Hokan-Daikoku, but with the acidity of Yamahai. No, it might be good. I'm not saying it might be, but it's good.

Japanese>English

The rice used is "Hotarumai," a brand of Koshihikari rice. It has a strong acidity and a cider-like taste. The sweetness is moderate, and the aftertaste is refreshing. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes. It's a little different from what I like, but it's an interesting sake 🍶.

Japanese>English

Made with "Hyakumangoku no Shiro," Ishikawa's newest rice suitable for sake brewing, and Kanazawa yeast. It has a gentle touch and a clean aftertaste. It goes well with sushi rolls with amazu (sweet vinegar).

Purchased because of the 60% milled rice ratio and 20 alcohol by volume. I wanted to drink it on the rocks on the day the rainy season ended, so I opened the bottle. ☀️ I paired it with frozen Genghis Khan that I brought back from Tono. It's well separated, so I shook it lightly before putting it in ice 🧊. It's less lactic than I thought it would be, and it's very spicy and thick, but it's cold and refreshing and delicious 🤤. I like this kind of sketchy in a good way. My brain feels good🤩. Definitely this for Genghis Khan 😭

Japanese>English

Alone, it is quite matured. However, it goes well with everything we served today, such as simmered taro, grilled broccoli, and cold shabu-shabu with hamo (pike conger eel). I was surprised.

At Nihon Shuya Shuroku. H29BY. yellow in color. At room temperature, it has a strong burnt taste. When heated without adding water, it has both umami and sharpness with a burnt taste. Goes well with blue cheese.
