I have been wanting to try "Morishima" for a long time. The aroma is sweet and fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet too... The finish is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness! Nice...delicious! It also goes well with food...Enjoyed a good time with the summer stamina "Hamo-ten" and "Edamame" from a local farmer....

Japanese>English

At home. I️haven't had Morishima for a long time, but this one has a sweetness and a slight sourness in the back of a gentle mouthfeel, and a clean aftertaste. It's always good to drink it.

Japanese>English

At home. Sake that you can't help but want to drink. I am thankful that the liquor store I always go to always has it. Tonight it was paired with chicken dishes. I think it is the best sake for any kind of food. I am already a captive of it.

Koikawa Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi 720ml Rice ： 100% Kame-no-o produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 55 Alcohol : 15.3 My wife entered this sake in a CS historical drama program and won it. It is said that this sake brewery is related to the writer Shuhei Fujisawa. This is also some kind of fate. Now, what does it taste like? It is quite classical. My wife said it was just fine. It is best to warm it up a little.

100% Kame-no-o. Dry and more refreshing than expected. You can also taste the umami of the rice. Delicious.

Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, a robust flavor, and a complex taste. It is dry, yet sharp and sharp. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, but it is enough to keep you from drinking too much. It is so dry that it is difficult to drink too many glasses.

Smells like pineapple. It is delicious. The juiciness, bitterness, and robust umami, the pineapple-like acidity and flavor, the refined sugary sweetness, and the rice flavor that reminds you that sake is made from rice are all present in the final stages, with the bitterness spreading and lingering for a long time. The bitterness accumulates. This is the kind of food that makes a good meal, and when you eat a meal with it, the meal is good!

Japanese>English

After having enjoyed Omachi Jungin before, this time I tried Rikuwada Junmai Nama, and when I opened the bottle, the fruity aroma...sweetness, good bitterness in the aftertaste...well balanced...it's just great! No bitterness at all....delicious 😋...rather than a food sake 🍶, you can sip this sake 🍶 as it is...with the usual "tuna kamatoro" from my dad's place.... I'm enjoying it...

Japanese>English

Thin rose-like smell, apple as the temperature rises. It is thick. There is a sense of sweetness and rice that is not too assertive. When you try to swallow it, you feel as if the taste has disappeared, and then there is a bitter taste on your tongue. I don't know what it is, but it makes my meal go further than usual. It is delicious! Drinking this makes me eat a lot of food 🥗🍣. Day 3. Strong smell of floral blue fruits and a little bit of alcohol. It is thick and sweet, with less bitterness and umami. It has a nice aftertaste and you will not get tired of drinking it.

Today's beer is also nigori! I started to open the lid to get some of the top clear water at first, but then it started to squirt and agitate. It's like a snow globe! When I drank the stirred sake, it was surprisingly dry. The texture on the tongue is not so much silky as smooth. No, it's smooth. The alcohol content seems to be high,

Jay & Nobby's Tochigi ❤️ Another delicious Tochigi sake on the flight! Ona‼️ This is the first nigori of the season😊. The aroma is subdued ❗️ The taste is like muscat. Silky on the tongue with just the right amount of bitterness Moderate bitterness❗️ The sweetness is also nice and moderate👍

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Mashidaya's special order Ona: ❗️ Fruity aroma and moderate sweetness 😊. The second day, the umami flavor increases and it's good 😄. The bitterness gives it a sharp taste and it goes well with meals too‼️ The Mashidaya collection is all delicious. I recommend it because of its good cost performance👍

Gorgeous fruity aroma, smooth on the palate. The fact that it is polished to 30% Omachi is also excellent. It is an elegant sake. Serve with turban shells

This is the Aino-sato Junmai-shu from Nanyo Jozo, which is famous for Hanayo-yoku. It's a delicious sake with a good balance of umami and sourness, like a fresh apple. It's delicious 😋 and the price is good too. The price is 1320 yen for a four-pack.

Japanese>English

It has an alu feel to it, but it's delicious with a nice pleasant tartness. I enjoyed it warm last year and will enjoy it slowly again this year.

Japanese>English

Is this a local brand of the same brewery as Hanayo-yoku? The rice is said to be Gohyakumangoku. It's a completely different brew, but it's refreshing and has a gorgeous taste. I had an image of it being classical and hard to drink, but it's a modern sake with impressive acidity. The one I drank recently that is similar is GOGO Gohashi. Gohashi has a muscat-like atmosphere, and this one has a green apple-like atmosphere.

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

Japanese>English

It was with the Kumamoto Fair. Surprisingly, yogurt? Aroma of rice. Quite a graininess when you include it. Aromatic aroma, a bit like straw, Taste level 3/5

Japanese>English

Here is the second cup of Kumamoto trip. It has a strong, umami flavor👍This is also delicious. It goes well with the freshly made spicy lotus root 😆 I could probably do an endless loop. I had another glass of another brand after this, but I forgot to take a picture 😅It was delicious, so no problem! Bravo Kumamoto!
