Snow boy because of the cold wave (lol) When you drink it cold, it's surprisingly refreshing. But if you drink it lukewarm, the sweetness spreads in your mouth It's a completely different taste!

Gifts from Mom #5 The surrealistic labeling of "On a night like this..." is unbearable. Uitate aroma is fruity and citrusy. The mouthfeel is tangy gas on the tongue with a good sweetness & acidity. The aftertaste has some alcohol, but the bitterness is pleasant again! The aftertaste is not too long, and you can go on and on. After all, on a night like this... it's delicious! Thank you for the food!

Sour and sweet per se. Thins to mid-palate, perfect for a night like this.

I enjoyed the cool sour taste. The aroma is a refreshing "rice"🌾 At first sip, it has more punch than I expected but it is pleasant. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sharpness is delicious✨. The light nigori also makes you feel cooler It makes me feel more cool Tomoka Imamura, the female toji of Wakaha Shuzo tweeted that she paired it with cheese. I also paired it with Kili's cream cheese. I can't wait to try it out! I also want to drink Wakanami TYPE-FY2 I want to drink it.

Japanese>English

I bought this Akatombo at Kado-Yasan in October. I kept it in a safe place, but I opened a bottle today. It's really good! It's sweet all the time while rolling it around in your mouth, but when you finish it, the sourness stands out and you can feel some bitterness at the end. It's a taste I like.

Japanese>English

This this this! Banana🍌 aroma 😆 My favorite Wakanami's sake smells like bananas! Yummai! Mildness like hiyaoroshi! It tastes like banana🍌 and grape🍇 ! No bitter aftertaste, so it's a little bit sad 😂.

I've been curious about "WAKAZE" for a while...it's brewed with ingredients from France🇷...just like a white wine! It has a fruity aroma like grapes, a sweet taste like Niagara wine, and a sour aftertaste like Chardonnay...lactic acid? Slightly sour taste... like something different from Sake... this is it! I think so...I'm drinking it with a Big Burger🍔 as a snack...

Japanese>English

I wish I could have a better time with you! At Sakaishi Daigo (Part 10) I'd like to thank you all for your kindness and support.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the first time I have had this wine. The aroma and characteristic acidity give it a white wine feel. The alcohol level is supposed to be low at 13 degrees, but for some reason it makes me drunk. I would like to drink it little by little.

Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Japanese>English

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

Japanese>English

It has a yellowish appearance, a slightly thickened texture on the tongue, and a rich, mellow, sweet, umami flavor.

Umami Sweetness Dry Yakult Crisp Acidity Silky Bitterness

Soft and gentle, like cherry blossoms dancing in the spring breeze. The aroma is gentle and elegant. The delicate aroma derived from yeast rises softly from the glass, with nuances of white peach and melon. In the mouth, the mild sweetness and clear flavor spread gradually, and the acidity is gentle and very smooth. The elegant lingering aftertaste fades away as if fading away. This bottle is a re-launch of the "age-engraving" series that began with "28-year-old Spring". Hiroaki Sakemukai, former toji, has returned to sake brewing as a technical advisor, and together with Hiroei Watanabe, the current master brewer, he brewed this special spring sake with the theme of "49 years old," a milestone for the brewery. The label features the words "49 years old, cherry blossoms" written by the calligrapher Izumi Endo, who has graced the spring series to date. The calligraphy, which has both supple curves and strength, seems to reflect the "quiet determination" of this sake. The 48% polished Yamada-Nishiki produced in Honzu City, Gifu Prefecture, which is cultivated with low amounts of pesticides, and three types of yeast are used to create a soft but core flavor. It has a refined aroma and a flavor that seeps into the mouth, and quietly conveys the joy of "welcoming another spring".

Japanese>English

Panda and fireworks is such a novel bottle! The freshness of the wine is retained, while at the same time expressing the deliciousness of rice and refreshing acidity.

Japanese>English

A delicious sake. It had a strong umami flavor and was supremely delicious. This is a limited edition sake that the brewer releases every year for his own age group.

This is the best one I've ever had. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had the Dewa Sanzu, a summer sake from Tohoku Izumi 😀 It was a very tasty sake with a refreshing summer taste.

Japanese>English

Hiyoroshi with Sake Mirai🌾. The impression is that the tangy acidity stands out when served cold. At room temperature, it becomes slightly milder and easier to drink✨. I had an image of Sake Mirai as sweet, but I don't think this one gives me that impression.

Japanese>English

Salmonotrico, 3rd cup. This is also my first drink. It is a sake brewed with 100% Sake Mirai, but it was delicious, with a moderate sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a melon-like flavor.

I wanted to drink a dry one, and the store owner recommended one to me. What? How do you read "yuyo"? Hmm? There is no such kanji? I heard it is read as "yoemon" 😊. It's been a while since I've had a dry one, and it's dry and sharp. Slightly acidic? I enjoyed it with mapo tofu 😆. Dry is also good 🍶.
