Panda so cute, I bought the jackets.

Japanese>English

Summer panda label is cute 🐼 I wondered if it was similar to Jikin. We had it with stewed motsu and grilled pork on the bone.

Japanese>English

Hidahomare. The sweetness is slightly mellow from the beginning to the mid-palate. The umami is mellow and combines with the richness of the aftertaste.

(*´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.

飲みたいけどお酒のストックがない😔 という時の心強い味方🍶 アル添カップ酒も馬鹿にできませんね。おいしくいただきました😊

Sake made with red rice. Purchased at the brewery. It is easy to drink with low alcohol content, but the base flavor is pretty classic, light and dry. It is light and easy to drink, so it is not suitable for drinking on the rocks or with soda.

This is a reminder during a business trip.

March 31 It was the best 👍️!

Japanese>English

It's just the two of us on the second day of our trip. We started the day with a beer toast! After the second beer, my wife had beer and I had sake, cold yesterday and hot this time! I think it was the highest temperature! Not much aroma. Not much aroma, but the mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink without getting stuck in your throat! It was a perfect match for a kaiseki meal. It was a hit with my wife. By the way, our trip to Izu was the same as last year! The hot springs are great!

Japanese>English

On the first day of GW, the 29th, I purchased sake that goes well with meat 🥩. It's a collaboration product of Kumamoto's sake brewery "Zuitaka" and "Gullitcheu Fukushima" wrote the label. It's a dark, strong tasting sake that goes well with meat 👍️. I forgot to take a picture but the char-grilled chicken sold as a set is really hard 🤣. I have only a calendar day off, but I work on Saturday even though it's the first day of GW. I opened 3 bottles in a flash 👍️.

I got it by the hometown tax payment of Fujieda city. The taste of fluffy rice. You can feel the history of Hatsukame Brewery, which was founded in 1636. It has a firm sharpness and is suitable for sipping. By the way, the one I drank I drank last year's fire-retarded version. This year, it has been upgraded to unfiltered raw sake This year, it seems to have been upgraded.

Reminiscent of grapes, The fresh and fruity ginjo aroma is reminiscent of grapes, The sake rice is made from Honorifuji rice produced in Shizuoka, Japan. The sake rice is Honorifuji from Shizuoka, The rice is from Shizuoka's Honorifuji grape variety, and the rice polishing ratio is 55%.

The aroma is sweet like amazake, and the taste is sweet and easy to drink! I'm sure it will lead to the creation of a new demand.......and I'm enjoying drinking it with homemade vinegared mackerel and homemade spring rolls that I caught........

Japanese>English

I've been wanting to try some nigori sake lately 😆. I saw it in the store yesterday, went to buy it today, and was supposed to open it tomorrow... but I couldn't wait, so I opened it today and drank it 😅! There are many nigorizakes out there, but this one is Junmai! It has a nice crackle and a nice "umami and gentle sweetness" of the rice 😻🎉. Originally I was thinking of the 3x Domu from the same brewery, but I was so taken with the Junmai that I decided to go with this one. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that, but I'm sure I'd be able to do it.

Japanese>English

Sake filled only with Domuro-roasted rice. Slightly effervescent. It has a rich sweetness, but the alcohol taste is a little strong at the end.... The official online store of Endo Sake Brewery is formatted like a mail order site for health foods and supplements 🤣. Maybe it tastes better at higher temperatures? Nutty and caramel type sweetness comes out.

Today is Mukade, the second time it has appeared. After opening the bottle, it immediately had a nice aroma. I wonder if it is because it is a daiginjo. The taste is robust and dry. There is no fruit in it. Yona? 🤔

Japanese>English

The third cup is a centipede ministry. The one I probably wouldn't buy based on the label 🤣. But I think this one had the best aroma of all the ones I had yesterday 😋. It was unexpected and made a big impact👍 You're getting into the swing of things now 🤣.

Japanese>English

It is said that it is written "no wind" and read "Mukade". Once you see it, you'll never forget it. It is soft to the palate and seems to go well with any dishes.

Purchased with Ayagiku at Okura Sake Shop. It has a gentle sweetness and is refreshing. The acidity gives the impression of a tightening effect. I heard that they also have a draft sake, so I would like to try it. I wonder if I can buy all the sake introduced in dancyu.

Japanese>English

Hana-Shume," a sake from a revived brewery in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture, which was featured on Tokoro-san's "Laughing at You" last fall. We were lucky enough to get an assortment set (❓trial set) of 3 sake for souvenirs, so we compared them! Here is the next one! Hanashoumi Special Junmai (orange label) The aroma is also slightly citrus 🍊. On the palate, the four tastes of sweetness, umami, bitterness and acidity are beautifully balanced. This can be served as a food sake 👍.

Japanese>English

First brand I've ever had! Lovely name🌸. Aroma is clean, yet gorgeous! Good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity... firm but with a clean aftertaste! Another great sake I've found😊.

The aroma is mild and refreshing 😙The taste on the palate is slightly fruity with beautiful acidity and sweetness 😚 The taste is a bit bitter at the end and disappears 😊I found it to be a refreshing and cohesive sake 🥰.

Salmon Marche Week. Memory is hazy. Records are illegible. Here is the record. Kaga no Tsuki no Heating.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?
