Fresh Fizzy Acidity Bitterness Dry Flamboyant Umami Crisp

Every year I look forward to the Risshun morning pressing... this year, I'm going to enjoy a bottle of TENRANZAN! When the bottle is opened, it has a pleasant fruity aroma...freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, and fresh because it is freshly pressed...the balance of sweet and bitter is unstable, with a certain sharpness...but the aftertaste is crisp! Delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a fresh taste and the alcohol and presence that only original sake can provide.

Japanese>English

At the beginning of the New Year, I enjoy the local sake 🍶Tenranzan Hatsu Shibori (first pressing), which I received as a gift, and since it is an ale-added, honjozo sake, it is more of a food sake than a straight sake...fresh as it is raw...my favorite horse sashimi and oseki (New Year) as a snack.... Enjoying the New Year's Day with my favorite horse sashimi and oshibushi....

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.

Japanese>English

Sake in Okayama 🍶. Easy to drink with no peculiarities and a clean taste 😋.

This is the "3000" Sanzen Aroma Special Junmai Sake Omachi Hi-ire, which I received from SakeShop Kairindo through their Twitter sweepstakes. It is a delicious sake with a mild but gorgeous aroma and a robust flavor 🍶😋.

Fresh Ramune Acidity Bitterness Dry

The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki It is more rough than fresh. However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly. I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere! I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

Japanese>English

Banana like aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet. After that, the dry taste or the feeling of running spreads to the mouth. There is a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is sweet. Tsuki no Ii has a new toji (brewer) this season, and they are making sake under a new system. I can't wait to see how it changes 🤗

I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir. I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna. I thought it was probably a local luxury sake. It was a very tasty and elegant sake.

Japanese>English

The mild taste makes it easy to drink. The aroma that lingers in the nose afterward is gorgeous but not habitual, so it can be enjoyed with sashimi and other ingredients without interfering with their flavors. I enjoyed it with Hachinohe mackerel pâté. It was a good combination.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. A mild mouthfeel. After a hint of sweetness, alcohol and a light bitterness come in. Goes well with salty snacks.

Very fresh...freshness...good acidity in the aftertaste leaves a lingering aftertaste and a full feeling of drinking sake.... Delicious...this is...I'm enjoying it with my usual sashimi...little by little...

Posting today, right after drinking! My favorite Shichida! Plus, it's Orikagara! Impeccable! Not deliciously sweet, but crisp and tangy! It's not sweet, but it's crisp and piquant!

Fizzy Fresh Neat Fruity Bitterness Umami Acidity Balanced

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.

Japanese>English

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.

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

We opened a bottle of Daikoku that we bought today at Kado-ya Sake Shop. It is said that this sake is brewed with 100% Yamada Nishiki harvested in a special area of Hyogo Prefecture. It's rich and dry. The rich taste in the mouth and the long lingering spiciness are exquisite. I think it's a very cost effective sake.

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Daikoku Masamune at home. I bought it at the direct sales counter of the brewery. The aroma is mild, but the taste is fresh and fruity. It was really good even when it was heated. The reinforced concrete brewery was demolished due to old age, and a prefabricated direct sales store was built on the site, with the rest of the land used for a convenience store and Marugame Seimen noodles. The rest of the land is used for convenience stores, Marugame Seimen noodles, etc. Now they are brewing in a rented part of Hakutsuru Brewery. At the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the wooden warehouse collapsed, and the site of the warehouse was turned into an apartment building, which was named Daikoku Royal Heights.

Japanese>English

Daikoku Masamune Junmai Ginjo Hyogo Yume Nishiki I like this sake very much😍. Calm and soft umami on the palate 😌. Gentle spiciness with a clean finish 😊. Overall, it's very cohesive and delicious 😋️‼️. The Sengoku I drank with it made me feel like a bit of a yankee 😆. Sweet and juicy is good, but I guess I prefer light and dry 🥰🥰. The last one I drank was also good, but This Daikoku Masamune was excellent👍🤣‼️.

Today we are in Hitachinokuni, right above Makabe. Smell is a little light. The taste is a little cemedine, soft but I think it is a little bit weak in taste. I can't feel many attacks. thanks Liquor Shop Kinase (Mito)

@SAKE Street Rice used is Nihonbare There are still some good sake in Ibaraki that we don't know about yet. ❗️ It is mild on the palate, with an impressive soft sweetness. The umami has depth and strength. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also 👌. You can enjoy various expressions depending on the temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. ❣️
