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.

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!

Japanese>English

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

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.

Japanese>English

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👍.

After the Daiginjo, we had this sake 🍶♪ It is a slightly dry sake, so it is light and refreshing, but you can also taste the sweetness of the rice. I thought it was a perfect match for the oily soup of the motsu nabe and the champon noodles we had as a finale.

Japanese>English

Clean at first, then full-bodied! Fruity and sweet. The aftertaste is a bit bitter and the alcohol is not too strong. The alcohol content is 17 degrees. App♩Sake rice is 100% Gin no Sato from Yame which is local brewery. This year study sake brewing rice too! 1 day passed, change to firm sweet taste! Alcohol feeling is gone, a little fresh impression⁉︎

Japanese>English

On the last day of the consecutive holidays, I felt like Fukuoka all at once from Akita! We enjoyed Fukuoka sake with motsu nabe and mentaiko (cod roe) as a side dish. The sake was well chilled and refreshing, with a crisp and refreshing taste.

The third bottle is Miyagi's sake rice, Gin no Iroha, Zao no Kokoro series. The first impression on the palate is of muscat! It is elegant and crisp, as is typical of Miyagi sake. Easy to drink. Delicious!

Japanese>English

I enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

A summer sake from Zao brewed with Miyagi sake rice, Gin-no-Iroha. Slight ginjo aroma. This is my first time at the brewery, and it finishes with a slight bitterness. It is crisp. The expression of Gin-no-Iroha varies from brewery to brewery.

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's getting cold, so I heated up some Kenrishi today and served cabbage with iburigakko (pickled ginger). Cabbage with iburigakko instead of mayonnaise is a bit of a luxury 😆. I've come to think that heated sake is not so bad these days. But still, this one is so soft and fluffy!

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 🍶.

#Otsuka# W small/hori Next up is this one. The sweetness is momentary... the piquancy similar to sibilance. It's a delicious sake that also feels spicy 😁.

Japanese>English

This is the first time to visit this brewery. It is Toruyoemon Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu. It has a delicious acidity. It is a delicious sake with a fresh, crisp taste and good acidity 😋🍶🎶.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

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.
