Other brews. Like the juiciest finish ever of rice and agave. White grapes, Yona Yona Ale, sweet gravy mandarin oranges, clear sweet smell. Juicy! White grapes like balls, hops, umami, acidity and sweet sourness that stimulates the back of the tongue, slight effervescence, beer-like bitterness and freshness and the balls pop and the juiciness sweet and sour, and it's crisp and clean. Yum! Second day. The color of the sake was slightly pink and cloudy white. It is sweeter and hoppier than yesterday's sake. The desire to drink it is rising.

Craft beer, white grapes, sweet smell. Shrewd, hop bitterness, sweet bitter, grapefruit-like acidity. The description says to mix well before drinking as the lees contain delicious hop compounds. The beer has a clear sourness and a clear taste. But it also has the flavor and mouthfeel of sake. Recently, I drink beer and get drunk very slowly, so on days when I want to drink beer, this is the perfect combination of satisfaction, deliciousness, and tongue-twisting! I think I like it better than beer. I like it.

October 31, 2023 Japanese Sake and Japanese Cuisine at Miketsubi in Matsuyama City. The 7th glass was served on recommendation with rice and hops. It has a clean and gorgeous taste with acidity and a pleasant hop aroma. The aroma of hops is pleasant. Pione and Cheinmuscat. I enjoyed it with Pioneer and Shine Muscat.

2021/09/11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opened the bottle carefully with a little bit of crown. As soon as you open it, you can smell the fresh aroma of lactic acid. A gentle refreshing sweetness and then a dry feeling comes. It is a type of beer that can be drunk crisply until the end. Thanks to the low alcohol and strong carbonation It's so refreshing that I couldn't stop sipping it.

Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi? It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.

Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake. It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator. It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way). At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor. The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake. Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.

Off-line meeting with Jay & Nobby in Osaka 🍶. Jay & Nobby from Tochigi ❤️ No Tochigi sake in the store selection 😂. We started with Kurehaaru and ended with Akizuka 🍶. We got Akatombo and Fusa as a tribute to Tochigi ❤️ 🍶 Akatombo by Sakeran and Fusa by Rafa already posted 🍶 Akatombo's acidity is too subtle for my grandpa 🍶 I prefer Fusa. I prefer the tassel 🍶. Thank you Jay & Nobby for a great time 🍶.

(○´3`)no🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first bottle of Nozomu today😃. I was attracted by the cool blue bottle💙 and the label so I opened the bottle😊. I don't really notice the aroma 🤔. The sweetness and acidity in the mouth is refreshing and the aftertaste is refreshing with a crisp acidity ✨😚. It was a good sake for today's hot day 🥳.

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

Today was the first time I had Urasato, which I learned about from your post on Sake-no-wa 😀. The aroma is mild and gentle ginjo 😊The aroma on the palate is like melon🍈🥰The beautiful sweetness lasts until the end 😋The slight bitterness in the aftertaste pulls the whole flavor together 😍 delicious💕. This is the first time I have had this sake and I found it to be very elegant 🥳I would like to try it again after a few days to see how it tastes 😚.

Then, Urasato's Jungin ‼️ Last time I drank Jun-Dai and it was delicious, so I had high expectations 😋. The hyenas were using beer as a chaser, which seemed to slow them down, but this is where the true spirit of hyenas comes in 😱. I can't really tell the difference compared to the pure Dai 😅. Well, you can definitely gobble it up like water 😅

Then we'll drink the well-reputed sake brew ‼️ We also tried heating it up👍 It seems to be a good match for cold to lukewarm 👍 I don't know if the hyenas taste good too, too fast pace 😱 well, they bought me sushi and stuff, so yeah 😆.

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This year I got the 33rd batch of Jr. Aizan, which I failed to buy last year 😀 The Banshu Aizan is polished to 33 and is a luxury product. The aroma is gorgeous, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the nose is refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet and delicious.

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had the Jr. Series Juicy Dry 🙌. The aroma is mild, and when you put it in your mouth it changes from delicious to slightly dry and then disappears quickly. Kudokukidake has a strong umami taste to it, so this dry taste was fresh and tasty 😀.

At home. Although it is called Hokkaido series, I compared the taste with Wakakoma for the first time. The mouthfeel is smooth, but the aroma and the feeling in the mouth is something I've never had before. It has a unique taste with a little bit of brown sugar in the mouth. I think it stands out more when compared to the Kokushi Muso. I'm sure it will change after a while, but it was the first time for me to feel the depth of sake.
Japanese

Commonly known as "Charakoma". The alcohol content is low at 14 degrees. It is low in alcohol content, and has a strong flavor, but also has a good amount of "goodness". It has a freshness and sharpness typical of summer sake.
Japanese

English
It has a rich sweetness and juicy richness reminiscent of ripe fruit, and I really like its dark flavor. It has been a long time since I have had Wakakoma, but it is still delicious.

Mild on the tongue, very slightly chili. Light grain aroma, apricot-like with a sense of maturity? It has a sweet and savory taste. It has a slightly rich and calm taste.... The aftertaste is slightly bitter and acidic. Hmm? The more the day goes by, the more bitter cocoa taste appears.

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.

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 😋.

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.
