I was going to get him to buy this ice breaker a year ago, but he didn't buy it before it was released. This year I was able to get one, so I opened it right away. It's thicker, perhaps because I put ice in it to drink it. And it's sweet. It's the first sake I've had in a long time, so it's delicious. The label is cute because I like penguins

Japanese>English

I was told it tastes great on the rocks, so I drank it on the rocks😊. It was cool and delicious ☺️. The penguin label is cute too 🐧.

Add ice and it's... delicious! The exquisite taste of summer.

Stylish bottle with mechanical stopper. Refreshing, just like the image. You can feel the fresh acidity and The flavor of the rice is firm. As the day goes by, the taste gets better and better. I also enjoyed the taste change.

Japanese>English

Sweet aroma like melon, sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness and sour aftertaste. The bitterness lingers, but it's delicious😋. It's a unique sake 钎It's good as a food drink too. I'm not sure if it's because it's a new sake or not, but it's got a bit of an edge to it.

Japanese>English

The bottle was opened without any sign of carbonation. The whey-like smell is gorgeous. The taste is dry and rice-like. It finishes with a sense of rice and acidity. It is a taste you can find when you drink orikara-mi. The sweetness is added by mixing in the ori that has accumulated at the bottom, and it is just right. It is delicious. As you get used to drinking it, it becomes more familiar to your tongue and you can drink it in large gulps, and it is irresistibly good as you continue drinking it. It tastes even better after a year in the refrigerator, but I can't wait that long.

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.

Not much aroma...old-fashioned mellow umami-kuchi...it's a food sake 🍶 like the local Mukho Masamune or Teisho🌲...it's a sake that is only possible with snacks 🍶...the bitter aftertaste may bother you a little? I think the bitterness of the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome...classical...this is good...I think the hurdle is too high...I'm having it with fried Mexicali...little by little...with snacks...

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is my second time at Kurumizaka. This time I bought Jun Dai. I noticed after I bought it that it was manufactured in 2017.3 and shipped in 2020.9. ？？？？？ The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it had an unusual taste. The flavor and acidity are amplified. On the second day, the flavor and acidity are amplified and it seems to change with temperature. It's so good! 😋

Japanese>English

Forgotten things of summer. Kishu Tamakae, Yamahai Kurumazaka. Is the complex acidity in the Noto Toji style? The lingering taste is refreshing and perfect for summer.

Tasty and tasty. The creamy taste I would like to describe it as creamy. It is easy to match with meals. The alcohol content is high at 17 degrees.

Japanese>English

Aromatic, with a good aftertaste, and cost-effective, it is a triple-threat sake. Accompanied by Hiroshima brand oysters

Japanese>English

A mini-bottle of Kamelei Junmai Ginjo given to me by a friend who lives in Hiroshima. The supercilious aroma is of a faint apple-yellow flavor. The sweetness and bitterness spread in your mouth at the same time, but both of them disappear quickly, leaving a spicy alcohol aftertaste. But the spiciness isn't insistent, either, so it's an easy-drinking, dry sake that's easy to sip 😄 It goes well with sashimi of yellowtail 😋 In addition, there are quite a few people on Sake no Wa who are posting the same thing as Hiroshima's turtle age and Shinshu's turtle age... 😢

At home. This is my favorite Sei Masamune. There is no particular aroma, and it has a smooth mouthfeel with a fruity and sweet taste in the nose, followed by a little sourness, and finally a bitter taste that finishes it off nicely. Compared to the previous Seimasamune, the sweetness is more moderate.

Japanese>English

At home. Purchased at the usual liquor store. I want to drink it regularly. The owner said, "It tastes good both chilled and heated. I was looking forward to drinking it. First, we had it chilled. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of alcohol. It has the characteristic sweetness and umami of Seimasa's sake. Oh, it's so good! Now that the heat is better, I would like to try heating it up next.

Japanese>English

At home. I drank Hanamasa and Seimasamune. However, I was already very drunk by the time I had the Seishomune. Both are gorgeous and delicious sake, and they gave me a happy time.

Closing out the drinks we had last weekend 😆. Smell good 😌. The Mikotsuru was quite rich and sweet, so I felt a lot of sourness when I took a sip 😳. The more I drank, the more umami and the sourness and aliveness were also good 👍 I can feel the strong aroma of the barrels! Is this a dry wine? and Nobby Well, I guess it's umakuchi. It is labeled 18 degrees, but you don't feel it. I thought it would have been better if it was warmed up to lukewarm 🤔 I thought so later, but I finished it before I realized it 😆. But I drank a little too much from Thursday to the weekend 😓. I'll enjoy a quiet rest day for the first half of this week 😮💨.

Japanese>English

Nice to meet you Shikishima ~ ⤴️🍶 Light, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨ A little 🍈, a little 🍍, a little citrus 🍊 😊. This is super oicy ❕. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I'm opening a bottle of the first bottle of Masamune instrument for the weekend dinner because it's so good it's about to run out 💁. Shikishima Light Nigori Nama Sake 2022BY Back on the nigori road a bit, but again it's almost a year old 😅. When I opened the bottle, I could hear the gas escaping with a nice sound. The aroma is mainly chemically aromatic, with a hint of greffle skin and a little bit of maturity. The mouthfeel changes from sourness and citrus bitterness to bitterness, umami, and spiciness. The alcohol content is 18%, so it has quite a punch, but the sweetness and umami from the aging process gives the impression that it is more rounded. It's good that the lees are so cloudy and the umami and richness is so much better 😊.

Challenge ( -̀ -́ )୨⚑︎゛ I like 300ml because it is easy to challenge 🎶. A little bit alcoholic. But it's very clear. I think it's a sweet and tasty food wine 🤔. Sweetness 🆙 on the 2nd day of opening the bottle. I praise myself for trying to drink 300ml over 2 days☆Elated

I posted offline and forgot to put this 💦. First time for both Ippongi and Denshin. I thought I could buy them anytime and I avoided them because of their dry image😅. The top aroma is like pineapple and tropical fruits. The initial aroma is like pineapple or tropical fruits. The second half is quite spicy though it has fruity and soft sweetness. I wonder if the softness is due to the fact that it is bagged.

I had my first bottle of Shinshin in spring and it was delicious! I was able to get a bottle of Shinshin's summer sake, and I immediately opened it 😋. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste like summer sake🤣. It's as refreshing as the label says and perfect for a hot day like today 👍 thanks for the drink❗️

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had Okayama sake. This is the first time I've had Shinshin, but it's refreshing, easy to drink, and makes an excellent food sake. It's delicious😌. I'd like to try other kinds of Shinshin or Winter Moon.

￣∇￣* Isuzu🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a sake from our neighboring prefecture of Toyama✨. The aroma is quite mild, but when you put it in your mouth, the acidity comes from the soft rice flavor, and then it quickly kicks in, like a well-balanced and delicious sake😊.

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued. ❗️ The taste is very umami 👍. The aftertaste is clean and you won't get tired of drinking it. It's a sake that you can keep drinking 😅. It's not a modern taste, but it's a perfect food sake type 😅❗️ I paired it with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto. It went great with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto 👍. No wonder it is popular in restaurants in Tokyo these days. ❗️

Japanese>English

A friend of mine said that if he had come all the way to Toyama, he would have had a variety of both Katsikoma and Haneya, but Hayashi had never had them. We compared two types of sake rice, Gohyakumangoku and Dewanosato. Both were to his liking, but the Dewa-no-sato was more acidic and better. I recommended it to him and told him that Koyama Shoten also sold it 😄.
