(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Izumibashi today 😀. I can hardly smell the aroma 🤔I can taste the robust umami and slight sweetness on the palate 😚It's so refreshing and easy to drink 😊. It also seems to be recommended to be heated on the back, so I'm going to give it a try even though it's hot ✨. The aroma has opened up with umami aroma 😄It becomes smooth and delicious on the palate and the aftertaste is clean and disappears quickly 😋. Both were delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

This new brew has a pleasant lightness and freshness. It had a slight sweetness and a fruitiness to it. It also has a complex taste, I guess you could say it's full-bodied. I can't help but drink it! A rustic snowman is also very cute É It looks cloudy, but it's not nigorizake. Rakufumai is a brand of rice. It seems to be a light sake. Day 3, the sweetness and acidity is a little stronger now! Day 4, more flavor! Yummy.

(Translated by ∇🍶🍶🍶+ Today we got Izumibashi's Snowman label 😀. The aroma is clear and refreshing 🤔On the palate, it has a clean acid taste and a beautiful? Mature? It has a good balance of sweetness and umami 🥰It is an easy to drink sake 😚👍. I felt it was like a light, light sake 🥳.

Junmai Ginjo sake using only Gohyakumangoku from Ishikawa Prefecture. Even though it is an unpasteurized sake, it is refreshing! It's a sake for a meal.

unfiltered nakakumi ikebi The aroma is subdued and different from fruity. Dry and slightly spicy, with a crisp aftertaste. Hardy sake with a delicious taste🌾 Also delicious😊. The raw rice is 100% Hukunohana from Izushi, Hyogo.

I bought some sushi with my favorite boiled conger eel besides western style snacks at the department store.... I opened the bottle thinking it would go well with this dry sake... ^ ^ The aroma is of rice with a harsh taste ⁈It's hard to describe σ(^_^;) It has a dry and sharp taste, but I thought it didn't go well with the sweet sauce of conger eel (T . T). T) It's difficult to find the right marriage (>_<)

The first cup of the second night. The concept of "dessert rice wine" is very true. It has an elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets. It is thick and dense, with a distant bitterness. The sharpness is not bad and the outline is clear, so it is easy to drink even though it is quite sweet. It's difficult to make an appetizer with it, but it would go well with dessert. It's perfect with grape jelly👌.

Japanese>English

Again, no rice used or major specs. It is a very low alcohol sake at 5%. Oh❗️It's really red! is my first impression. I remember drinking red sake before, but once again I thought rice is amazing. It's hard to recognize this as sake when it's served without saying anything. It's almost like a rosé wine, with a strawberry-like flavor. It's light, but I'm not sure I like the sweetness and mouthfeel. If I were served this sake at midnight, I'd be in a bit of trouble.

Japanese>English

The rice used in this is also unknown. A slightly low-alcohol type of Junmai Ginjo So far, this is the most authentic and the driest sake in the HINEMOS range. The mouthfeel is clear, light and refreshing. When you drink it, the umami-sweetness spreads out, and at the end, you can feel the bitterness and spiciness in the throat and nose, and it tightens up quickly. Yes, yes, this is my favorite type 😋. I️ want to spend more time drinking this one.

Its fresh aroma and refreshing sharpness make it a delicious and summery sake. Accompanied by homemade croquettes

Japanese>English

The last of the day. Medium-bodied, it gently conveys umami. As a food sake.

Japanese>English

This is a sake that the young brewer of Kanbokuto Shuzo challenged to make Junmai Ginjo sake with Gin no Sato and No.7 yeast. It is said to be a limited edition. It has a fruity aroma, a moderate acidity, and a freshness and sweetness that is easy to drink. I often visit the Kanbokuto Sake Brewery and have this sake as my personal favorite sake, but compared to the other sake on sale, the taste is so different that you would think it is from a different brewery.

I bought this one after tasting it with Daikoku Masamune at Yamamoto Sake Shop in Kuise and wondering about it. I had tasted Tomikunaga in the past, but this was the first time I bought it. This is a rice called Yatanso, which is used only by Tomikunaga. It has just the right amount of gas and sweetness. Not too sweet, but just the right amount. It is like the sweetness and umami of rice. Balanced type. I would like to try other types of rice.

Japanese>English

This sake is brewed by Miho Imada, who was selected as one of the "100 Women of the Year" in 2020. I've been wanting to try this sake for a long time because of its high reputation in magazines and without any special glasses. The first sip was soft and clear like water, and then I felt the sharpness. On the second sip, you can taste the umami and acidity. There is also a slight pleasant bitterness at the end. It is characterized by the softness of soft water and a clean mouthfeel with no miscellaneous flavors. And yet, it is a modern dry taste with a wide range of flavors, which I personally like very much and it's really delicious! The aroma and taste are not strong, so it doesn't seem like there is a "this" kind of weapon, but it has no peculiarities and anyone can enjoy it, so I take my hat off to its broad-mindedness. You can drink it all the time... or infinitely. I am also amazed at its wide range of defenses, going very well with greasy dishes like fried foods and crisp salads. To use a baseball player's analogy, it's like Shuta Tonosaki of the Seibu Lions, who can defend any position at a high level.

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is slightly fruity, but the aftertaste is clean. We enjoyed it very much.

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...

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

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
