The aroma is not very strong, but you can feel the fruity scent from a distance. The mouthfeel is a little sweet, but it is very refreshing and easy to drink. Today's pairing is deep-fried lotus root. You can feel the flavor of sake without disturbing the meal. I might like this sake from Shizuoka. ^_^

Japanese>English

It doesn't say it, but according to the official instagram, it's unfiltered raw sake. He requested to drink something similar to Okura (Asahi direct pumping), and I thought this would be the one with the similar taste. It's not as sweet as Okura, but the acidity is effective and it's juicy and delicious.

Japanese>English

My fridge is back, so I'm back to buying booze! My impression is that it's quite spicy. Also, the alcohol smell is too strong for me. The flavor is reminiscent of flowers. Overall, it's a unique type that I've never had before.

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

The season has moved on at once, and the air is more favorable for heating sake. I used to be a big summer drinker, but I've started drinking sake and have become a winter drinker. However, I caught a cold at the right time and my nose is not so good! Sake is too delicate for my taste, so I decided to drink sake with sweet potato and hot water. I felt guilty and decided to buy some Kenrishi, so I stopped by Life and found a renewed version of a small bottle of Kenrishi! The bottle may have changed, but the taste inside is of course the same as it has been since the Muromachi period (1336-1573)! I gave it a shot of shochu and was able to drink it in my usual mode! After all, Kenrishi is the best!

A brewery that specializes in aged sake serves sake made for aged sake as undiluted sake. It's been about two years since it was made, so maybe it's been sleeping in the shop? It doesn't have a nigori feeling at all. It has a certain aged feeling, but it's clearly different from the old one. It's not fruity, but it's sweet. It is not fruity but sweet. The sourness is strong and it is like a thick honey. It is sweet, but some people may feel the alcohol in the latter half is pungent.

Japanese>English

The Year of the Rabbit will soon be over, so I decided to open the bottle. Time flies............................................. When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is full of bitterness like chocolate. The mouthfeel is surprisingly mellow and rough, and the taste is very chocolaty. The balance between sweet and astringent umami and mildness makes it seem that way, and it is a delicious taste that can only be described as chocolate ✨. It has a unique old sake taste, but I think it is one of the easiest to drink! And the aftertaste is also choco choco choco... 🍫. It was the first time for me to buy and drink it properly, but I guess it is delicious because it is from an old sake brewery! If I see it again, I'll buy it 😌.

Japanese>English

When it comes to aged sake, Daruma Masamune is the most popular type of sake. Shiraki Tsunesuke Shoten has been making mainly aged sake since the 1960s 🍶. Shigeri Shiraki, aka Samantha, is the 7th generation brewer. I've seen your instagram often, but this is the first time I've met you. ☺️ Jyunen Koshu is a blend of sake that has been aged for more than 10 years. His husband and toji, Hisashi Shiraki, is one of the few sake blenders I know of. The appearance is deep amber and brown. I have never seen such a color expression in sake before! The aroma is soft yet complex with a mature aroma. Clove, cinnamon, cypress, mead, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, caramel, walnuts, etc... All the elements of matured aroma are mixed together with a gentle sweet aroma and a hint of acidity. The taste is soft and mellow. The sweetness is intense and strong, with a touch of molasses, and the acidity spreads from there in a rich, gentle and complex way. There are nuances of Shaoxing sake, but it has no corners, and the richness and full flavor of the rice gives it the quality of aged Japanese sake. The lingering aftertaste is long, thin, and string-like. I am grateful that they did their best to revive aged sake, which at one time was almost lost due to the Sake Tax Law. I hope that aged sake will spread as one of the wonderful cultures of sake 🍶.

It is a nigorizake made from Junmai Junmai Nakakumi. It is quite dry and has a strong bitterness, but as the temperature rises, you can taste the umami sweetness. It is a delicious sake 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake starts very bold with strong and bright flavors of tart apples and butterscotch. There is enough acidity to give this a short dry finish. Wow, the explosion of flavor woke me up. 😳

When I went to Takimoto, I suddenly felt like drinking a small bottle of nigori. It was the first time I bought Tsukitsukatsura since they changed the label to a fashionable one. Strong taste. Shuwa shuwa. I almost gushed out. The alcohol content is high, so the strong alcohol taste comes with a bang. The delicious taste of rice surges in. The sweetness is only slightly perceptible in the latter half of the bottle. Personally, I don't think it goes well with Tsuki no Katsura...

I bought it because I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time! This is the third time I've had it, so I'll spare you my impressions. It has a light, light flavor with a yogurt or yoghurt-like feel, with hints of mushrooms and maltiness. It's perfect with hamburgers and a reset ✨. I found a regular "Kunimori Nigori Shu" on sale, so maybe I'll buy it next time!

Japanese>English

I bought it again because I drank it before and enjoyed the yogurina feel! I just drank it a month ago so I will spare you my impressions 🫡. It is also interesting to note that the lighter the stirring is, the more lactic acid drink-like it becomes as it goes to the bottom, and the more it feels like yoghurina at the beginning and calpis or yakult at the end!

The ultimate muddy! 100%, no, 120% muddy. It was my first time! I twisted the lid and thought it wouldn't blow out, but when I let my guard down, it started to blow out and I hurried to close it. I spilled a little bit. I decided to think it was an angel share. It wasn't, but.., I poured it into a glass, and it was a sludge. I wondered if there was any top liquid in Shirakawa-go and Hida. I am happy to see that there is no top clear water in Hida. In the mouth, a good sense of heaviness. Very satisfied! The taste is, of course, gorigo nigori! So it is delicious,

Japanese>English

This Sake is light, clean and dry. There is a cucumber flavor that I found hard to detect because of the broiled saba I was eating. 😛

It tastes like a dry amazake with a fizzy, fizzy taste, full of flavor, and very drinkable.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

Japanese>English

Gorgeous fruity aroma, crisp and refreshing. We enjoyed it while thinking about the spring water of Mt. Fuji. ‼️

I got to know the name from "Yuru Camp". It has a slightly dry and refreshing taste. Enjoy it while watching the closing ceremony.

Omachi Raw Sake Fresh, fluffy and swollen acidity and sweetness! I can only say it's delicious👍. It's a raw sake I'm drinking it with my wife.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a liquor store in Okayama City✨ Asahi and Omachi were side by side and I thought Asahi<Omachi I thought Asahi<Omachi was sweeter and juicier, but the owner said "Omachi is drier, The owner said "Omachi is drier than Asahi", so I chose Omachi. I chose Omachi because the owner said "Omachi is drier". ⭕️ The sweetness and juiciness is moderate, The sweetness and juiciness is moderate, and the acidity in the aftertaste is more pronounced. A bottle that can be drunk quietly 😋. The 3rd & 4th one is Sogape wine 🍷reminder 📝.

I ordered this because they said the money for this will be donated to the Noto earthquake. It will be hot 🍶. Oh no, there was only one left when I thought this was the Mexicali Tempura. It doesn't feel special, but it's a nice sake that goes perfectly with a meal. It wasn't stingy at all. I can't read the label. It's black, which is what a beginner in calligraphy did.

Japanese>English

It is a dry sake with a crisp, mellow flavor from the ginjo brewing and junmai brewing. Although it is dry, you will not feel the dryness, and it becomes softer when heated. Excellent with sashimi, sushi and other fish dishes.

Japanese>English

This was my first time drinking Yamahai, and it was very good with sushi and other Japanese dishes. I prefer it warmed to room temperature rather than chilled.

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 🍶.

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 😋🍶🎶.
