Sweet and fruity aroma...sweet and bitter aftertaste...mellow rice flavor...lingering aftertaste...yummy! I enjoy it with grilled grouper tidbits and fried horse mackerels...it's a hit!

Japanese>English

The first time I drank fire-brewed Mikotsuru was delicious, so I chose unfiltered raw sake 🍶Gohyakumangoku♪ Both the aroma and mouthfeel are fruity like Gohyakumangoku♪ The aftertaste is sharp with a good amount of bitterness! The bitterness is not to everyone's liking............................................It is also good as a food sake. ⭕️ It's very fresh only because it's a fresh sake 🍶! Nagano sake 🍶 is high quality 🤔.

Japanese>English

The first Mikotsuru! Aroma: A hint of fruity rice aroma... sweetness on the palate, followed by an aftertaste of just the right amount of bitterness! Aftertaste from the sweetness...good bitterness to a sharp finish! I like the sweet, mellow, umami taste of Nagano sake 🍶... Nagano sake never fails me 🎵Yummy 😋 Hey... this too... there was some delicious looking "raw bonito" so I had this with it... the "fat" was so rich that you would never guess it was bonito this time of the year... I'd like to try the unfiltered raw one next time,

After three days of rest and after a night shift, it's been a while since I've seen you🙏. It's the first time I've ever had it, but the sweetness and flavor of the figure fills my mouth 😋. This is the first time I've had it. I paired it with nabe, but I think it's better to drink it by itself or with a small dish rather than as a food sake🤔. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, so I'm savoring it slowly (*'omega'*).

Japanese>English

٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today was the first time I had this 😀. Not much aroma, but it has a mild mouthfeel and a sweetness that is typical of Aizan 😚 It is smooth and cuts through with sourness and bitterness 😊. It was delicious 🥳.

Japanese>English

I think it's a figure spring sake-🍶. Nice pink label-⤴️✨ Mellow, crisp, oicy❕. Slightly spicy feel is a nice touch-✨ I'm enjoying it very much(^-^)/

The smell of carbonation and freshly cut apples is promising. It has a fizziness, soft pear juice, juicy flavor, and a delicious sweetness that is not overpowering. The taste is moderate, with a hint of sourness and bitterness, with a hint of a bitterness in the back. You can drink this as much as you want.

Japanese>English

Sweet and thick. It is juicy and delicious. High spec sake made from 29% rice called So-no-Mai 😳. It should be delicious. Silver lining, a ray of hope, or just a hint of anxiety? Great naming sense 😆.

Japanese>English

Refreshing and juicy. It has a delicious gassy taste, so I chilled it to a crisp and tasted it in a wine glass (#^. ^#)

Hiyoroshi 🌾. Yamadaho and Omachi are a rare pairing. It's more of a dry taste, but best served lukewarm with plenty of rice flavor ✨.

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Japanese>English

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

Next, here is a bottle from ‼️ that was Miyajima's recommendation for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai. ‼️ To be honest, I can't really tell the difference 😅 although the richness of the orikagarami is better. I just keep reaching for the ogara-mi 😆. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it better for eating 😋. Either way it's delicious, so this comparison is a lot of fun ‼️4

(*sigh*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Ding's sake 😀. It was a well balanced and delicious sake. The aroma is quietly gorgeous, refreshing rice flavor and sweetness, and a nice crispness. Nice 👍️

The aroma is gorgeous 🥰The mouthfeel is smooth 😊The sweetness is moderate but the flavor is beautiful and firm 😘The acidity is sharp to finish 😍This was a very delicious sake.

It tastes like a white wine. The balance of sweetness and firm acidity is exquisite. It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 14 degrees. It is a sake to be careful not to drink too much.

Japanese>English

The best way to do this is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a little rich series of Tenmei. It's a good one. It is a very good product.

I was too lazy to open it and let it sit in the fridge for a year. It is delicious and I will take good care of it.
