Today was my first time having Tamitsu 😀. The aroma is faintly citrusy 😚The taste in the mouth is mellow, gentle and delicious 🥰The taste is moderate and easy to drink 😘Overall it seemed like a very beautiful sake 😊.

Japanese>English

🍎 Tamitsu's favorite ♡ Malic acid 🍎 It's easy to drink, so you can drink more and more😋. I make a lot of mistakes 💦 when I write reviews while drinking 🍶.

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

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,

Good evening, I'll have your first series of Shinrai ⚡️ from Hiroshima 🙌 Jinrai Junmai Senbon Nishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake 2023BY✨ It's been a while since I've had a Senbon Nishiki sake. The aroma is mainly banana yogurt with floral nectar, greenish pear, acidity and alcohol, which I like very much. The sweetness and acidity of the banana yogurt spreads quickly in the mouth, followed by the bitterness and spiciness of the pure rice from the sake, making it so easy to drink without feeling the high alcohol content 😋😋😋😋. It's like drinking a higher alcohol Sentori Classic and I like it very much 😊.

Japanese>English

The end of the month when I was summoned to the head office and given a tough job. This year is going to be a tough year at work. Work aside, I went out for a drink with the head office staff. Hiroshima's Shinrai is my favorite brand. I remember how surprised I was when I drank it for the first time. I thought it would be a "Shinsei" sake with a wooden cask for sake making, but it is not at all. But it's not at all. The yeast is different, of course. It tastes delicious. It has a yogurt flavor, but it matches well with the wooden vat. It was a drink that made me say, "Wow!

Japanese>English

We wander around and enter a tavern we find. The restaurant has a nice view of the quiet sea and the mountainous nightscape from the seats. The sashimi was sea bream! Sake was, of course, locally brewed! This is my first time to try "Kamirai". It goes well with sea bream sashimi! It was like being struck by lightning! I love traveling.

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.

As the plump sparrow label suggests The soft and gentle sweetness is impressive. Yet, it has an aftertaste that cuts through quickly. It was a bottle suitable for the New Year.

Japanese>English

Irido-cloud in Italian. The refreshing acidity is typical of summer sake. The subtle umami of rice is excellent. It is perfect as a food sake.

Japanese>English

19" came in from the jackets. "Le nuvole" is an Italian word. It means a cloud. It has a mild sweetness of light nigori. and a refreshing aftertaste. Now, I'm fascinated by the taste I am a repeater.

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!

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'*).

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 🥳.

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(^-^)/
