Candy Umami Fresh Dry Sweetness Cooled Sake Acidity Fruity

Sweet aroma. Fresh and sweeter than expected. Unique sweetness like candy. Unique but interesting and delicious. The sweetness is like a floppy candy. More fruity than I expected, too. I think the Asahi Nikki Jusui Brewing I drank in the past also had a unique sweetness.

Japanese>English

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

It has a mild sweetness. It's not too sweet, but it's not too strong. But it's 18% so you'll get drunk 😜.

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

Japanese>English

This is a Sankan Omachi Junmai Hiiri. I tried it at various temperatures, and it was best served hot.

Today, I celebrated my return to work alone with a drink given to me by my subordinate 🎉. I'm not very good at any kind of alsobe, It's fruity and beautiful 🍶. It was cold today, so I tried heating it up to hot and it was great 😊. Now tomorrow, work 😊. Take it easy and go for it!

Japanese>English

The acidity is exquisite. Delicious. It's a little frustrating that it's not easy to get because it's only available in Fukuoka.

Japanese>English

This is Kyushu Kiku's Kamisen. I have not had this sake since the spring, when I had a bottle of the honjozo (pure sake) at Nishinakasu. I never thought I would see this sake in Tokyo. I had it at room temperature 🍶. The first aroma is sweet with a slight bran-like nuance. It tastes sweet on the palate, like a so-called "normal" sake. The aroma is not so good. It was made in October, so it seems it is not twisted 🤔. Thanks for the drink ✨

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

Kamo Goyo Alcohol content 14%. Polishing ratio 60 Price: 800 yen at a hotel in Mimasaka Yunogo Dry and refreshingly dry Is it Okayama-like? Please tell me: ❗️

Tasted sake from Tsuyama, Mimasaka Prefecture. The sake was well worth drinking, with a flavor that was full of flavor after a summer of drinking. It was a dense, mellow, and truly delicious sake.

I drank this sake at the end of the year. It was the first time in a long time that I drank a little high-class sake. I drank most of it heated,

Japanese>English

Opened October 19, 2024 Purchased at Funabashi Tobu Department Store event Very smooth (o^^o) Gentle, fresh, tongue-tingling sweetness with a hint of fermented acidity ☺️ Soft to the throat and easily absorbed ^ ^. I want to drink it slowly when something good happens 😆.

Japanese>English

It was full of sake feeling. Just like the jacket? Sake that is just like the jacket! I don't know how to describe it. I don't know how to describe it, but although it is called Daiginjo, it is more like a heavy drink when you want to drink sake rather than a tasty one. Of course, it was a delicious bottle.

Like Minatoya Toisuke, this is another brand of Murasuke that I bought because I liked it after tasting it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa. There are many liquor stores that sell Murasuke in Tokyo, but I had never seen this brand before. As its name suggests, it's low in alcohol content at 13%, so it's easy to drink 😚. When you drink it cold, it's light and refreshing, with no hint of bitterness. It's delicious in its own right, but when it's chilled at a cooler temperature, it becomes sweeter and more impressive. I liked it best when it was chilled in the wine cellar at about 15 degrees Celsius 😄. It's interesting to see how it changes with the temperature, but in any case, it's a different direction from the sweet and sour fruity Murasuke. I think it's a fine sake that won't go with any snacks 😋

This is a sake from the Murayu brewery👍. The acidity is very attractive.

I bought a Noto Support Set from KINMI, which is spending a lot of SNS advertising. This sake comes in a set with sashimi. It has a juicy and sweet taste and certainly goes well with sashimi. Made from 100% Noto-produced Hyakumangoku No Shiro. Polishing ratio 48%, alcohol content 16.5 degrees.

Japanese>English

Sweet sake, fruity and very tasty!

Made with Gohyakumangoku produced in Ishikawa Prefecture. Gorgeous melon aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp, but you can also taste a firm umami flavor.

After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.
