Rice used is Miyamanishiki I didn't find it too harsh, but my partner, who prefers a gorgeous sweet taste, found it too much for his palate. It is true that the alcohol taste comes first, and the mouthfeel is not smooth. As the day goes by, the corners are removed and it becomes more moderate, so it might be better to go out with it slowly, but I don't dislike it in this way.

I was in a sake store near the train station in Yonezawa when I was traveling and asked the owner what was the best sake in the area 😅🍶🍶. The owner of the store recommended this "Koubai" 😅🍶. My daughter-in-law gave it to me as a Father's Day present, but I don't remember exactly what it tasted like back then 🙇🤣🤣I don't know if it was a coincidence or if he remembered what I said at some point, but I tasted it for the first time in 40+ years (I'm getting old lol😅😅) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍶. The color was clear and colorless, and although it was described as having a "gorgeous aroma", it was quite subdued and had a mild mouthfeel. It was a bit of a sharp taste and did not linger on the palate, perhaps due to the alkaloids. But it is a kind of deep emotion to be able to drink the famous sake I drank when I was young after a long time 🙏🙏. Thanks to my son-in-law🙏🙏🙏🍶

It has a clean, dry taste that is conveyed by the packaging. It is not fruity, but its dry sake-like taste definitely goes well with fish!

It has a fresh taste but delicious flavor. Ichinokura brand is famous in Miyagi. Too bad I didn't know about it until now😭.

Japanese>English

Only Ichinokura brand sake is made in Kurihara City. When Mr. Tokoro introduced it in a TV shooting at the end of last year, it was in short supply in Kurihara City 😱😆😆. The first sip tastes slightly sweet and clean without any peculiar taste. It goes well with kiwi and kurichi wrapped with prosciutto ham. It also goes well with strong meat dishes!

Japanese>English

Flower of the warehouse. The last of the day. The spicy richness expands from around the middle to the end. The texture is slippery, and even the aftertaste lingers.

Koikawa Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi 720ml Rice ： 100% Kame-no-o produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 55 Alcohol : 15.3 My wife entered this sake in a CS historical drama program and won it. It is said that this sake brewery is related to the writer Shuhei Fujisawa. This is also some kind of fate. Now, what does it taste like? It is quite classical. My wife said it was just fine. It is best to warm it up a little.

Japanese>English

100% Kame-no-o. Dry and more refreshing than expected. You can also taste the umami of the rice. Delicious.

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... .... I forgot about it...I thought it was a hybrid of old-fashioned and modern...not much aroma...the mouthfeel has the old-fashioned mellow, mellow, umami taste.... It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Japanese>English

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

It's not a scent... it's more of a... distinctive smell... and I can definitely tell it's fermented... lactic acid bacteria? Strong acidity! It's a very unique wine, so I think it's a very special drink. I think the flavor is a little more mellow on the second day after opening. It was well preserved, but... but does it really taste like this? That scent? It smells like fresh laundry... like an old wooden tub... and I don't like it... I don't...

Japanese>English

This was also purchased at Oka Sake Shoten, the same place as Unjaku. The aroma is mild but unique. The aroma is mild but unique, and it has a light aged feeling, probably because it has been shipped for a long time. If you drink it cold, it has some peculiarities, but overall it is flat. The umami acidity has a strong impact. It would be good to warm it up as well. According to the staff at the store, they won't be making PURE PINK this year. When heated, the sweet and savory flavor really shines through. I definitely recommend it over cold sake.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. It has a dark mouthfeel and a bit of maturity, but as the days go by, it becomes more rounded and changes to a level where even those who are not good at it can go. However, even though it has become more rounded and easier to drink, the sweetness and strength of the Omachi can still be clearly seen, so there will be different tastes. For me, it's a very interesting sake! The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it might be too peculiar to pair with a meal. However, from the second day onwards, while maintaining its richness, it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and is not bad as a food sake. If you roll it around in your mouth, it is a nicely aged sake, but if you drink it with gusto, you can drink it without worrying too much. Still, I want to enjoy the aged feeling of this kind of sake, so drinking it a little bit every day is good for me.
