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.

This is my first Chichibu Nishiki 🍶. Here's a souvenir from camp: 🏕️ Refreshing and easy to drink✨ It's a junmai ginjo, but it goes down like water 😛.

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.

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.

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 🐧.

It is Oku-no-Matsu Special Junmai. We drank it chilled. The aroma is mild, but when you put it in your mouth, it is fruity and delicious sake. You can buy it at the supermarket. It's delicious 😋

Japanese>English

Junmai Ginjo Genshu with 55% polished rice. It is full of freshness because it is Arabashiri and of course the aroma is very strong. When you pour it into a glass, it has a light cloudiness characteristic of arabashiri, with fine bubbles - it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma, with notes of green apple, white peach and green melon. When you drink it, you can feel the fine bubbles through your throat and it is very fresh. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is Oku-no-Matsu Special Junmai, my second time to post. This is the second time I've posted this. I had it at room temperature. It has a mild aroma and is a delicious sake that you won't get tired of drinking.

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 😆.

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.
