At home. The first Yamanashi, the first day. It is the one for the summer. I had it cooled well, but it is refreshing and lightly dry. It is the summer sake which feels easy to drink. If you have it chilled or on the rocks, you will be able to open it immediately.

Japanese>English

Yamanashi GET This sake has a sweet, fresh taste harmonized with a refreshing flavor. Accompanied by tuna and sea bream

Japanese>English

First Yamanashi sake ❣️ after my debut at Sake no Wa! I got the summer sake from Tang 😋. The label was refreshing and quite soppy😍. The taste is also refreshing 🏝. It tastes like melon🍈? Fruity, smooth, full and light, perfect for this time of the year 😆. This one will be available in no time at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted it, and it's as good as it should be.

Fruity ginjo aroma from the moment the bottle is opened. .... The taste is sweet and bitter with a good aftertaste of bitterness! The unfiltered sake has a nice, wild and naughty taste.......................................................I'm having a small sip with yellowtail and radish.

Japanese>English

I love this one too 😘, Fudo from Nabeya...Nakakumi, new sake 🍶It's fresh and shiny 🍶 It's a new sake, so it has a little bit of a "horny" taste, but it's delicious 😋 I'm sipping it with a plate of sea bream, yellowtail and sea bass....yummy!

Japanese>English

I went directly to the pot store and bought it... it had been sitting in the fridge for a bit. .... When I opened the bottle, poof! Wow...it's alive! Aroma: Sweet aroma of Miyamanishiki! A good bitterness and sharpness after the first sip! I knew it had undeniable "high" potential....it's a delicious sake that goes well with food 🍶...Chiba sake 🍶 is not to be underestimated...I'm enjoying the Chiba marriage with the Unohana sardines from the Koshimon Shoten in Chiba...

The last sake of January is a new sake from Shichida......fresh citrus aroma, new sake with a sweet to bitter taste! →The mouthfeel is also new sake 🍶 with a sweet to bitter, sharp taste. 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!

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.

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

Fizzy Bitterness Fruity Fresh Juicy Umami Sweetness Ramune

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be great.

Japanese>English

Everything is private. It's exciting! It's unfiltered and raw, so there's an osmosis. It's wild and exciting! I thought it was refreshing, but as soon as it was exposed to air, the taste changed and became sweeter. ❣️ Hopefully we'll see you again next year: ❣️

Japanese>English

[What a firm Machida 😆]. Machida Brewery's customary specs undisclosed items. The pear 🍐-like aroma, slight fizziness, sweet and fruity attack, and pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste, the Machida Brewery's characteristics are still intact. It has a gorgeous taste, and I don't have the palate to comment on the differences from the Machida Brewery in my memory😅. If I were to pair it with a meal, I think it would be better with something well seasoned, like fried food or sweet and spicy simmered dishes 😊. ...so I guess it would go well with katsu-ni (pork cutlet stew) 😋...

My favorite Chiba sake "Iwanoi" is brewed with ultra-hard water (hardness 240). It has the delicious flavor of Omachi and the moderate bitterness and sharpness of hard water! The taste is deep and the acidity is dignified! It can be drunk as it is, or as a food sake...no...food sake🍶 is better 🙆I'm sipping it with boiled gammo and sashimi...🙆I'm sipping it with a side dish.

Japanese>English

A trip to Boshu, a place of binge drinking and binge eating... Sake from Chiba is not to be underestimated! Sweet and fruity aroma, sweet taste, but the rice flavor...enjoy! I'll go to Iwase Brewery tomorrow and get some!

Japanese>English

You can buy it directly from the sake brewery. It is a quaint sake brewery. It is brewed with "So no Mai" sake rice from Chiba Prefecture. The aroma is a hint of rice, and the taste is very fresh. It was brewed with very hard water, so the aftertaste is sharp! I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

- ̗̀ ꒰ঌ(^o^) ໒꒱ ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been a while since I've had Shuho's Zhuyin 😀 I drink the fire-brewed version every year, but this might be the first time I've had the draft 🦆. The aroma is as gorgeous as ever 🌸😊The sweetness and umami that is typical of Shu Yin spreads as you sip it 😚The taste has little bitterness and a nice sharpness from the lingering bitterness that is just right 😘. This is the perfect sake for my tastes 👍This strong sweet and umami is still a delicious sake ✨🥳✨.

Japanese>English

(*^▽^)/★*☆☆♪🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a great way to get a taste of what it's like to be in the middle of the action. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste of the rice is lightly acidic and refreshing. It is very delicious😇.

Ψ( 'omega'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I bought a bottle of Shuho Hiyayogoshi for the first time in a year, so I opened it 😋. The aroma is mildly sweet and umami 😊The mouthfeel is smooth, with a gentle sweetness and umami 😚The aftertaste is also refreshing, so it's a delicious guy who never gets tired of drinking 🥰. I think it's a delicious sake that has no quirks and can be enjoyed by everyone 🥳.

I don't often drink aruzome, but I bought this one because it was Nabeshima... The ginjo aroma is fruity... the mouthfeel is sweet... then a nice lingering bitterness... it's a gem! Delicious 😋Supplementation of stamina in the intense heat! Hand-roasted domestic eel from a certain supermarket as a side dish...mmmm! This eel is delicious 😋 Teyaki from Kagoshima 😋 This Kyushu marriage...yes!

The aroma is sweet and fruity...the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter...and the aftertaste is sharp! The balance of sweetness and bitterness is exquisite...delicious...even when drunk on its own...with a side of salted sea urchin and squid...yuck! So good...no wonder it's so popular...so good...so good!

(∇｀｀ 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nave-sama club activity 🐧I got a special pure raw purchased last year 😀. The aroma is mild😊 on the palate, you can feel the slight gassiness that is typical of Nabeshima ✨ there's a firm mellow sweetness and bitterness 😚 As expected from Nabesama it's delicious 😘. I paired it with the Echizen Organic Hamana Miso I bought the other day in Fukui ✨🥳.

Suzukagawa 3

At home. I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. The first bottle I opened this year was Suzukagawa from the same brewery as Saku, which I got at the end of the year. The aroma, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in the mouth are very similar. It wasn't as impressive as the Saku, but it was a delicious gem. At the end of the year, I mainly drank the same brands, but now that the year has started, I would like to try more and more new ones that I have never tasted before. This Suzukagawa is the first step, and I hope it will be a good start. I would like to continue my efforts to develop new sake.

Japanese>English

I was going to buy Junmai from Suzukagawa, but they had a new sake, so I decided to buy this one 😊. Aroma with a beautiful atmosphere. It has a calm freshness and a firm sweetness. Saku's new sake is delicious, but Suzukagawa is also good 😋.

Japanese>English

Aru-soke Ginjo class, which is not found in "Saku". Fruity flavor and a light mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly. It is not only light, but also has a well-defined taste. It is excellent as a food wine and goes well with everything. My partner, who loves "Saku", drank it at a high pace.
