Fresh Umami Young Flamboyant Invigorating Acidity Fruity Melon-flavored

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

Japanese>English

Sweet and sour yet mellow, light yet tasty, and very drinkable! It is a delicious sake both as a mealtime drink and on its own. It is so delicious! This is a collaboration product with ''York Benimaru'', a local supermarket in Fukushima Prefecture. It is sold at Benimaru, so you should definitely try it!

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used: 100% "Yumeko" from Aizu Rice polishing ratio: 60%, Sake meter rating: +5 Acidity : 1.2 Alcohol percentage : 14 Seller: Saito Sake Shop (Honmachi, Chitose City) When opened Slightly gassy Slight muscat and melon-like overtones The same mild aroma as the first rise, with the aroma of rice malt, the soft umami of rice and sweetness spreads with a rather firm bitterness, and it quickly finishes with the lingering umami of rice. It is fresh and tasty with a good amount of sweetness for its sake strength, but the slight bitterness tightens it up. It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own. This is one of the bottles I harvested in Chitose on the way to work. This one might be the main one! It went well with sagari with sundiner sauce, squid ring salad, and stew.

At home. First time drinking alcohol. I finally got to know how to read it. When I first tried it as a hiya, I felt a bit of alcohol in the throat, so I tried it again with the recommended lukewarm temperature... it was beautifully mellow and the sweetness and umami increased❗️. I was impressed by the sweetness and deliciousness of the rice, and the Tochigi sake.

Japanese>English

Sake made by the Tonoike Sake Brewery in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture. It tastes like green apples on the palate. It is fruity and refreshing and was drunk with a glass of wine🍷. It was delicious. ‼️

Mellow, refreshing, fruity 🍶. Tip of the tongue ✨ The aroma is also mildly fruity🌸🍶✨ I'm enjoying it very much(^-^)/

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

First time to drink a Hokkaido sake 🍶Fresh citrusy aroma? Sweet and bitter on the palate...maybe a little bitter....sharp aftertaste! The aftertaste is good, but... a little bit of a tangy taste? I wonder if it is a characteristic of the sake rice... is it like this? Hmmm... it's a little bitter...

Japanese>English

(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had a hiyayoroshi of Ezokuma from Hokkaido 😀. The aroma is mild 😊The sourness and umami taste you feel in your mouth is well balanced, with a slight sweetness😚It has a strong flavor 💕It has a good sharpness 🤔It is a delicious sake that would go well with anything 😘.

Japanese>English

The rice is comet. It is sweeter than the junmai ginjos I have had in the past. After the gentle, fluffy sweetness, the bitterness comes quickly and then converges. It gives the impression of being sweet and bitter. Well, I regret buying Gokotsuru when I had a hard time deciding.

The owner of the sake shop where I often go to buy sake gave me a sample and it was delicious, so I bought it. It is a local sake from Aichi Prefecture. Slightly dry, refreshing and easy to drink. 1430 yen

Japanese>English

I recently bought this for 700 yen on the web. It seems to have been left in the shop for more than a year, so it was cheap as a disposal sake😄. It's a beautiful sake for a sake that has been neglected👍. The aroma is pear-like, but the taste reminds me of apples ️. It's sweet but crisp and very easy to drink😆. It's so easy to drink 😆 If it's this quality, I might want to buy it and drink it properly. I can't make fun of Aichi prefecture!

Japanese>English

The owner of our favorite liquor store, Higashi Ryu This year we were able to get Sasanigori without incident. The regular version of Jungin is also very tasty, so we are very interested in this one as well. The aroma is fruity and reserved. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet, and you know it's good the moment you taste it! The aftertaste is fruity and fruity. The fruitiness increases around the time of the aftertaste, and the acid bitterness at the end is mild. It is a strange sake with a sense of transparency even though it is a "Sasanigori" sake. The Sendai Aoba Festival will finally begin tomorrow. Last weekend, a purification ceremony and a lighting ceremony for the Date Gate were held, and everything is ready for the festival to get into full swing. The weather is looking good, and it is the best time of the year when the blue leaves are at their most radiant. I will be there with my tin can and singing the woodcutter's song! Please come to Sendai this weekend! Thanks for the food!

Sake with a strong umami and acidity. It goes down the throat well and is delicious.

Japanese>English

We used Go To to Echigo Yuzawa. So_1F3D4 brand and Naebayama brand that I don't remember seeing in Tokyo to match the local cuisine of the hotel. Junmai-Ginjo sake with Junmai-Ginjo specifications. The gentle aroma, the sweetness, and the refreshing finish give me the impression that this is a "Niigata's local sake" as I have always imagined it to be. In terms of Niigata brands that you can buy in Tokyo, I'd say it's similar to the Junmai Ginjo specs of Tsurueri or Kubota. If I tasted it, I'd never be able to understand it myself... After all, coming on a trip and pairing it with local food is the best part of local sake 👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. My first impression was "It's sweet. ❣️ I felt that "Kosu-Mori" was also quite sweet for me, but it seemed more profound than "Kosu-Mori". It is like licking a muscat candy. The finish, however, is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness, so the sweetness doesn't linger and it feels refreshing. It is a delicious drink, but I think it is suitable for different situations.

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

Another bottle was opened at the Kizuna Festival. Golden crystal that saw the light of day at Izakaya Shinkansen. Gold Crystal label expressed with a characteristic figure. It is one of my personal favorite labels. The top-tasting aroma has a very classical sake flavor. The mouthfeel has a light umami from a hint of sweetness. First contact is lighter than expected. The finish is again full of sake-like aftertaste, with a mild acidity and a strong bitterness. I had imagined it to be a more mellow and stand-alone sake, but it is considered to be a high performance food sake. During the festival, I served it with tempura and dried scallops that I bought and brought with me, and it was quite good! Thanks for the food!

Japanese>English

Tonight I'm having this one 🍶. I got this on my trip to Fukushima last month! I've been wanting to drink this since I saw it on Izakaya Shinkansen 🍶✨. They are the only sake brewery in Fukushima city😃. Mellow, refreshing, oicy❕. The aroma is slightly fluffy 💠. Slightly crisp but still mild 🌸🍶✨. This is a great one ❕. I'm glad I found you 😆. I also love the fukushima saké💗. It's very tasty.

I wonder if the Daiginjyo is less pushed out these days. We enjoyed it with our meal.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.

Wakanami Sparkling This is probably the third bottle this year. It has a nice aroma and a dry aftertaste. It is great in summer, but goes perfectly with winter dishes. It was better than usual because it was on the lees!
