Houraisen is a clean ginjo-shu in general, and it is surprising that the aroma does not collapse even if it is left at room temperature. It is almost impossible for the sweetness to become rich or for it to have a Maillard-type burnt smell. It is a tough sake with a sweet, cappuccino-like quality. The soft, sweet flavor is refreshed by the gaseous and bitter profile, making this a delicious sake.

The last time I was in Nagoya, they had it with Jyushiyo 🐩I'm curious if that's true! Surprisingly spicy...! There's a slight sweetness, but it's clear..! I like Taxi Driver's! I'm talking that it's not that spicy, but it's there more than I expected! It's not too fruity, but the sweetness counteracts it, but I think it's spicy at the end!

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture). It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock. This is the one I found in my parents' fridge. Cool and pungent. A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor. Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you. The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness. The intense flavor is intoxicating. After all, Genpei is delicious. I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed. The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.

This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Oku-Echizen region, Fukui Prefecture. I bought this sake when I went back home for summer vacation, and it just appeared. It has a sweet aroma that spreads quickly, with a sharp pungency. The sharpness of the spiciness is complemented by the sharpness of the aroma, which reminds me a bit of Western-style sake. It is a country sake, but it is quite gorgeous and sparkling. How about when it is warmed up? The spiciness rushes in like a gust of wind. The spiciness rushes through like a gust of wind, gushing out sweetness and melting away the flavors of the snacks at a torrent-like speed. It is just like spring melt water. The faint scent of vanilla in the aftertaste is also a nice touch. I enjoy the speed and grace.

I was a little curious about it with lots of writing, so I bought it. I heard it was super dry. Hohoho. It has a pungent taste that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes it easy to drink. It has a spiciness that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes you feel like you can drink it without hesitation. Let's try it with meat and fish to see how well it goes with them. The spiciness of the sake also faded when paired with tonteki (pork belly) with sweet and spicy sauce.

8.5 points (Wife 8.5 points) Sake Brewer : Ohga Shuzo, Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture (Fukuoka Prefecture's oldest brewery) Rice : Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 60 Alcohol percentage : 16 Sake Degree : Undisclosed Acidity : Not disclosed A gift from a friend in Fukuoka who came to Fukuoka Airport to see me off (purchased at Todoroki Sake Shop). Slightly melon-like finish The same subdued, fruity aroma as the first sip, with a hint of vanilla and a hint of azuki beans, soft sweetness and umami of rice spreading with a refreshing acidity, and finishing gently with a hint of bitterness and a slight spiciness from the alcohol. Elegant and well-balanced, it is easy to pair with meals, and is also delicious on its own. My friend's nickname is Tama-chan and his wife's maiden name is Izumi, so he chose this sake as a pun. It went well with Italian-style grilled salmon with foil, stewed sweet potato, chilled tofu, and squid cod roe.

The oldest sake brewery in Fukuoka, Ohga Shuzo, has created a GABAGABAHEY raw sake. At the first sip, the fresh and rich rice flavor typical of nama-shu spreads. It is certainly a sake that you might drink with the governor (^-^), and it is delicious. It seems to be a limited sake, so if you are interested, please come early~.

The fourth cup is a "Tamadezumi" unpasteurized sake! (First picture, left side) The sweetness is even richer than the previous "Ooga Unfiltered Nama"! However, as you savor it, the acidity and pungency slowly come from the back, along with a hint of shiitake mushroom-like aroma. The coffee milk-like aftertaste is impressive ✨.

Purchased at a store that sells local products of Okayama. I thought I was reading "kyokusei", but I was wrong 💦. A little peculiar reading😅. The rice is akebono. The top aroma is slightly fruity. A little sweet and refreshing. I thought it would be more of a classic sake, but it is easy to drink. Well, is it a fruity sake that is closer to the classic style?

Okayama Local Sake The first brand I ever drank The original Omachi rice "Takashima Omachi" is used 🌾. No trendy fruity aroma Classical taste Full of thick flavor and richness A crisp and dry mid-meal sake The photo shows "Tairyo Ichiba Nakaura" in Sakaiminato, Tottori. Kitaro is in a good mood holding a big crab 🦀.

It was different from the image I had of Okayama sake😅. It's quite spicy! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. The sharpness is the best🔪 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

This is my first brand of sake: ❗️ A blend of Yumeko, Fukunoka and Omachi ‼️ I can't imagine what it tastes like🤔. No aroma, gentle taste but you can feel the richness as it passes down your throat❗️ It has no particular quirks and has a cohesive taste. I enjoyed drinking it 😊.

I was called to work in Tokyo. I don't like cities. The National Diet building is beautiful with gingko trees in full color. I was surprised that it didn't smell like ginkgo. It is as expected. I went to a restaurant whose name I remember for the first time in a long time. There are a lot of gingko nuts, so I chose the ones I don't think I would buy by myself. Oh, it's full and sweet. It has a nice sharpness👍It has a nice Fukushima feel to it.

Today in Tokyo, it snowed and turned a little white. And today, February 5, is "nigori no hi (day of nigori). If so, here it is, although it is not a white nigori. It is a low-alcohol (11 degrees Celsius) pink nigori sake. The bottle was opened easily without any bumps and bruises. Pour it into a glass with a dokudoku, or sloshing. In the mouth, you feel sweetness. And some acidity. I've been drinking it every day for a while now, so the low alcohol content helps. I guess.

It's a continuation of the party with my sister-in-law and her family We bought this at Shijonawate Aeon 300ml ¥677 It took 10 minutes to open the bottle 😓. It took me 10 minutes to open the bottle 😓. The aroma is not so strong. The color is pink as you can see. The mouthfeel is thick and sour. It was easy to drink and my wife and mother in law loved it 💕💕💕💕 Personally, I like it 💕💕 Delicious💕💕 This was another minute kill👍

Store Drinking. HITOGOKICHIKI 100% The color is clear or slightly amber. The aroma is that of rice. When you sip it, you will taste the flavor of rice. It has a dry ALC feel. There is no fruity sweetness, and the taste is stoic. The rice sweetness remains until the end, with a rounded aftertaste. It has the impression of a Junmai Doshin🎯 royal road.

😁 Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 15 I drank the sake I missed yesterday today. I went to Ueda, so I bought a bottle of Wada Ryutonomizu. It was a delicious hiyaoroshi with a good taste of rice. None of the people I drank with today knew about it. I thought it was pretty famous in my opinion, but... Is that so?

It has a nice fruity apple flavor that I was told about. The taste is sweet to umami, very weak to bitter. It is a refreshing sake. Shiromayumi is a sake with strong umami. I was surprised to find such a light sake. But it is 15 degrees. It is a light sweet sake.

Gorgeous aroma. Sweet and sour with apple flavor. A taste befitting a summer ginjo-shu. We served it with grilled and soaked summer vegetables. It is refreshing.
