Ordered after the taxi driver. Also raw sake. It's called "Soma no Tengu". It is not possible to read it if it notices the frigana of the label. I'm sorry. It's as difficult to read as Kireuriwari in Osaka. Well, how is the taste...? It's been a long time since I drank muddled sake, so I had a strange feeling at the first sip, but the sweetness came, and I thought it was characteristic to change to sourness soon. I drank it up with some sea bream stew and enjoyed it.

I had my first bottle of Shinshin in spring and it was delicious! I was able to get a bottle of Shinshin's summer sake, and I immediately opened it 😋. Slightly sweet and refreshing taste like summer sake🤣. It's as refreshing as the label says and perfect for a hot day like today 👍 thanks for the drink❗️

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had Okayama sake. This is the first time I've had Shinshin, but it's refreshing, easy to drink, and makes an excellent food sake. It's delicious😌. I'd like to try other kinds of Shinshin or Winter Moon.

Umami Acidity Bitterness Firm Dry Sweetness Hot Temperature Grainy

Nutty aroma. Soft, with a bit of rice sweetness, bitterness, umami, and a touch of alcohol, it melts softly and is refreshingly gentle. It is delicious with meals. It is not tiring to drink, and I recommend it as you can drink it tomorrow as well.

Japanese>English

The aroma is like lactic acid bacteria of yogurt. The taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness. This is a good sake to drink while eating 😋. It's so good!

Japanese>English

Weak smell of thin apple slightly sour. Ohhhh good. Sparkling lemon-like acidity with a hint of sweetness, a little heavy on the acidity and rice flavor, then fading away to a gentle chile of bitterness. The acidity is firm and not too thin, and there is a slight sweetness, but the sweetness does not overpower the sourness and it is very refreshing. As you drink it, it becomes too familiar in your mouth and seems to disappear. When warmed up, it tastes sour and makes you drool from the back of your tongue. The second day. Sour, light and refreshing. Too easy to drink.

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 🥳.

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(^-^)/

A gift from an acquaintance in Fukushima Prefecture. It is delicious, but lacks softness, perhaps because it is not pure rice.

Slightly fruity smell. Softly sweet and light in the mouth. The mouthfeel is reminiscent of rice, with an extended acidity, a slight sweetness, and a bitter taste that fades away. It is delicious. The impression is gentle. The third day. It tastes better when it has been open for a while. After the light fruitiness, the water is a little sour, a little bitter, and clean. Not too much of a bad taste, just a good feeling.

Japanese>English

Nagano sake is delicious 🍶, and my favorite Shinshu Kamerei and Hitogokochi are my favorites. .... Fruity aroma, sweetness of rice, good bitterness in the aftertaste, and a nice sharpness! Nothing to say about it, roast pork and local edamame (edamame is in season) to go with it. .... Next time, I'd like to pair it with Shinshu soba noodles...

Japanese>English

I love ❤️ Shinshu Kamerei, which was sleeping in the fridge! The mouthfeel is sweet! However, the aftertaste is exquisitely bitter and sharp! This is it! I can't believe that rice can be expressed like this 😋 It's really delicious 😋 Anyway, it's .... There is no bitterness! I wonder if it's buckwheat noodles since it's a Shinshu sake (....) It's delicious to drink as it is....

Smells of powdered milk, flowers. Slightly effervescent. The junmai I drank before was so good that it was a repeat purchase, and it lived up to my expectations. It is well-balanced and when you notice it, you can drink it all at once with a slurp. It has a floral, not too sweet, pungent, well-balanced flavor, and a satisfying umami and a sourness that is very satisfying. The 4th day. It has lost some of its flavor and can be drunk without hesitation.

Japanese>English

Fruity and delicate sweetness. Famous for its potato shochu, "Treasure Mountain, The brewery's sake challenge. It was surprisingly legitimate.

This is the much talked about "Tensho"... a faintly fruity aroma... the taste is sweet and comes in nicely... the aftertaste is nice and sour and crisp... delicious... 😋This is an excellent wine... ...I'm looking forward to the ministry of...the terrifying...ministry.

Smooth on the palate. and a firm sweetness. The freshness that only unpasteurized sake can provide. As the label says, "sparkle degree MAX". It is a perfect taste for summer. It is made from Omachi rice grown in Okayama and polished to 50%. The alcohol content is 17 degrees.

Terroir of Okazaki 🍶 Junmai-shu brewed with "Manzai rice" produced in Okazaki at a milling ratio of 70 I think I could taste some bitterness.... I think I can feel a bit of bitterness... It doesn't lose its edge on the second day either... It doesn't seem to be round. Is it good as a food sake? It's different from the Jungin I drank before... a little disappointing... sorry...

Japanese>English

Bread when you open the bottle! It's a lively sake from Western-style! The aroma is a faint and unique rice aroma. It has a sweet and bitter taste and a slight effervescence. As the label says, the balance is exquisite...you can drink it as is...this is...this is delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious
