The aroma is refreshing and the taste is slightly sweet and sour with a hint of pineapple. In the second half, you don't feel the sweetness, but the lingering bitterness spreads in your mouth. It's delicious!

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 🥳.

First time to drink Hokkaido sake outside 😭. And that's Kamikawa Taisetsu, I'm so impressed❗️. I've been to Hokkaido for a while now and I've never been to Hokkaido before. I want to go to Hokkaido in a while😍.

Japanese>English

Citrusy acidity with white malted rice. Light sweetness like white wine. It has a refreshing aftertaste. It is easy to pair with meals, especially fish. Sake rice is Ginpu from Hokkaido, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The alcohol content is a little light at 14 degrees Celsius.

Japanese>English

It is the first Kamikawa Taisetsu. I was attracted by the white koji and bought it. The aroma is of citrus and lactic acid, with some caramel. In the aftertaste, there is a touch of vinegar. So, of course, the sourness is dominant. There is also sweetness, but it is characterized by a sharp acidity. The aftertaste is also sour. The umami is mixed in there. Rather than being crisp, it is a very drinkable sake. It is surprising that it is low alcohol and white malt. It can be fully enjoyed alone.

I've been wanting to try this for a long time, so I got a bottle of Sakyami. The aroma is citrusy and fruity, and the taste is sweet with a slight fizz. The balance of sourness and bitterness is exquisite...similar to Machida Shuzo? This dangerous sake is 100% Miyamanishiki...delicious...I want to try the other Sakyamishiki!

Japanese>English

Every time I went to the store, the staff kept asking me, "How do you like Sakuyami?" and I finally buy it ❗️ I listen to what the shopkeeper says, it's delicious 😊. The moment you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads, and soon it has a slightly stronger acidity and a pleasant petitiveness, I think it is OK both on its own and as a mealtime drink. I thought it was a combination of Hanahayo and Shinsei colors. This is my personal opinion, so please forgive me if you like HanayoYoku or Shinsei. I would like to try other Sakiyami as well 😋.

Japanese>English

☀️ First time drinking sakijabi ✨ in the fridge for a little over a month in the fridge for a little over a month😅. It is 100% Miyan Nishiki🌾 The top clear... I've been drinking it for a little over a month now. I'm sure you'll like it. I can't believe it. It's so easy to drink! If you mix it, you still get the alu feeling and what's more... The texture is deep but not heavy 🙂 . The bitterness is light and refreshing... no, it's good✨. Next time when I'm sober😢. I'm looking forward to tasting this one again❣️🤗

Comparison of nigori sake from Wakayama's favorite brands (1) We compared nigori sake from two of our favorite brands, Minakata and Chokyu. First, let's start with Minakata 😄. The first one has a fresh and fruity aroma like apples and a strong fizzy feeling. It has a full, sweet flavor and a crisp, refreshing taste, and is just as delicious as one would imagine 😍. It's been quite a while since I've had Nanpo, but I don't remember it ever being out of place and I think it's a good brand with a high level of quality 😁.

Japanese>English

The first Minakata I've had in probably 3 years, given to me in a 300ml bottle ☺️The 4-pack bottle has a picture of Minakata Kumagusu and the brand story on it, but with 300ml there's no room for that... 😅. It has a thin banana 🍌 aroma with a slight tang of alcohol behind it. After a slightly sweet attack, the aftertaste is a good mix of bitterness, sourness and spiciness. The aftertaste of bitterness lasts quite long. It will go well with both meat and fish without any conflict. The quality of the sake is similar to Kido's Junmai Ginjo. Is it because it is a sake from Wakayama Prefecture?

Japanese>English

Grading☆☆☆ Sake from Wakayama A faint scent of ginjo, just the right amount of rice flavor, and a touch of bitterness and sharpness. The bitterness and sharpness. But I don't feel any major characteristics in this one 😅. It's a dry taste for a mid-meal drink. It's a bit lacking in a single product.

Wakagoma 3

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>English

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.

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.

Japanese>English

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 😀.

Japanese>English

(**Ohmami*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had Kudoki-jote 😀 The aroma is slightly fresh muscat 🤔The drink is completely different from the previous Kudoku Ute 😙It's not a strong sweet and tasty sake but a refreshingly juicy and acidic sake 😚Jr. It was like a change of pace for Jr.

At home. I️ watched the hot battle for the high school baseball autumn season Kinki tournament at the Wakayama Kimiidera stadium. On the way home, I️ bought my first "Imanishiki" at Sakeya Kagimoto in Wakayama City. I️ bought Nagano Prefecture's sake in Wakayama Prefecture⁉️. And today, I opened the bottle. It has a gorgeous aroma, a smooth mouthfeel, sweetness, umami, and a bit of acidity. It has a fruity feeling in the nose. It is not too sweet and has a moderate dry taste. My favorite team lost, and I was feeling hopeless about the Koshien tournament, so I thought I would be a little burned out, but it was very tasty and comforting. I knew it was Nagano sake, and there is no mistake.

I've been busy with something lately 😅 But I do drink my sake 😆. I notice I haven't posted anything I drank in August 🤣. I'll post it for the record 🤣🙇‍♂️

This is another favorite of mine, Yamama, this time an active junmai ginjo. The lid almost flew off! Close it immediately! I was so close... 5 minutes after opening the bottle, the taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness and sparkling rice... I can't believe it's a sake anymore... delicious... and I can drink it again at 🙆♂️ as a food sake! I want to drink it again!

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.

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)
