Junmai Sake🍶Jun Seishun 18 Ticket Trip🚃IbarakiTochigi Soba noodle shop attached to Kiuchi Sake Brewery. After toasting with Nest Beer🍺, we had a standard Junmai-shu. Sharp, strong alcohol, phenolic aroma, and sweetness later. It is a good match for the mellow beef stew (sweet miso, maiyoo!) 😋. Feels mild: ☺️ Kura + Soba Nakaya @ Konosu, Naka, Ibaraki 20230318

I bought this at Mori Sake Brewery on my last trip to Hirado! The president of the company was in charge of the cash register that day😆. He politely introduced us and told us that it tastes best chilled in a wine glass! Sweet and sour from the aroma Tastes like plum wine Slightly sticky texture A little sweet but not too sweet Slightly rice bran-like, but you can sense the grains and nuts that only low-polished rice can provide But still sweet 😃. Sweet and delicious as a dessert wine I had it with Nagasaki Fukusado sponge cake a few days ago Champagne split today 🤣. Half and half Pour in a 1:1 ratio Marriage of Philando and Champagne 😉. Makes it less sweet. Maybe just the right amount of sweet 🤔.

Japanese>English

I thought it was like ice wine at first, but I guess that's an exaggeration. It is similar to a very sweet white wine. It has an aroma of ripe fruits such as lychee and peach. The acidity is a bit distinctive, with the essence of fruit, grains (vinegar), and lactic acid all mixed together. The complexity of rice, which is typical of low-polished rice, is still there as an accent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+⭐️ Purchased at Huis Ten Bosch. It is a sake from Mori Sake Brewery, which brews my personal favorite, Hiran, and I was hoping to have a connection with them when I decided to go on a trip to Nagasaki, so I was very happy to be able to purchase it as a souvenir. You might want to be careful at the Huis Ten Bosch store, as there was quite a mix of different dates of manufacture.

Japanese>English

I bought this one quite a while ago when someone at work recommended it to me. This is not sake! LOL! It is carbonated, sweet and easy to drink. It has lychee, peach, and I don't know what it is, but it has a floral feeling. After a few hours, the floral feeling disappears. The girl I drank it with said, "It has a little bit of pineapple.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. This is a dry sake for the Year of the Ox from Hachinohe Sake, and is used in full quantity. A refreshing pineapple with tropical fruit and sweet and sour aromas, a clean and light mouthfeel of melon and sweetness gurgles in the mouth, turning to a sweet rice flavor on the mid-palate and a long finish.

Chinese>English

This is my favorite Hakutsuru 🍶. The black bottle with navy blue label is kind of cool 🥰. It is sold only in Aomori. The first aroma is slightly sweet. The palate has a full-bodied sweet flavor that is typical of Hanafukuyuki. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, partly due to the 50% polishing. The sharpness is not bad either. I want to buy a bottle next year and drink it carefully 🤔.

\I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Today I drank a little bit of the good stuff from Hakutsuru Shuzo 😃. I can hardly smell the aroma 🤔It has a mellow mouthfeel when you drink it 😊Delicious 😚Sweet and tasty with a hint of acidity. It's very easy to drink 😘It's very clean and light 🥰Hakutsuru Nishiki from the largest brewery is a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

Yogurt, banana, strawberry, very fruity smell. The flavor, richness and taste are modest. There is a discreet fruity pear-like taste with no cloying taste, and the alcohol and bitterness are not assertive. There is no aftertaste. The smell is very good, and you have a sense of anticipation, so when you drink it, you may wonder what it is. It is good and refreshing! The bitterness appears when served with food. Easy to drink on its own. When the temperature rises, it smells like hot spring buns.

The local sky is about to cry 😭I entrusted the Milky Way to Yoru no Teio 😊. When you pour it into your cup, it's amber like a mass of flavor 💛When you drink it, it's still a great flavor 😚👍The aftertaste is very sharp, and it makes your drink go down 😘. Wish on a strip of paper 🌟🙏🙏. I wish for good health and lots of delicious sake💕. I hope so 🥳.

The fifth glass was to your first Imperial 👑. The aroma is light and fruity, like peaches. The palate is smooth, with a well-balanced taste of sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent. The taste is balanced between sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent. The clean quality of the sake allows it to be enjoyed quickly and without habit!

It has a freshness reminiscent of flowers and grasses, and a gentle yet fragile taste. The modern light sake quality, like limpid spring water, is clean. It may seem thin if you are used to strong flavors, but the gentle taste of koji and lingering acidity make it refreshing.

Japanese>English

2021/08/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Juicy sweetness like a ripe melon. The acidity is a little moderate and round. The rich flavor of the rice comes through. The impression is beautiful, gentle and healing. It is a sake that gives the impression of being "gentle and sincere without being delicate. This sake has the same impression.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Sota Watanabe Shoten in Aizu❗️ Since we are in Aizu, we want to buy sake that can only be bought here 😊. It's my first time to drink this brand ❗️ The aroma is moderate and the taste is very refreshing ❗️ It doesn't have any special characteristics but it is well balanced as a food sake. It's a good and easy to drink sake👍

This is a new series from Issen Fudo. It expresses "playfulness" and We use white koji for the preparation. It is characterized by the refreshing sweetness of the rice. The rugged image of single-mindedness and steadfastness. It's subverted in a good way.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.
