Candy Umami Sweetness Fresh Dry Acidity Cooled Sake 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.

Unfiltered unpasteurized sake Sake meter meter +15 100% Aso Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 17~18 Acidity 1.4 It is a super dry, unpasteurized sake. Price: 2200 yen including tax Zanshin, meaning "leaving a lingering aftertaste. The aroma is Sun-like. It reminds of melon🍈 in the mouth. The acidity is strong, making it a good mid-meal sake. I bought this sake because it was recommended to me instead of the normal one. I was told that it was recommended by Nombeni. ❗️

A bottle you won't find at the liquor store you usually go to. A bottle you meet on a business trip. The taste is smooth and refreshing. It goes well with food, and I found myself drinking three glasses of it,

This is the sake we drank tonight. I am not a big fan of sake that has a heavy taste, but this sake is from a brewery that specializes in sake. It has plenty of sweetness and umami. It is smooth without any spikes, and this is delicious. Tsumami is always nabe. I love spinach❤

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.

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

Japanese>English

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❣️.

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste. The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries. Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years. Founded in 1902 It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.
