Since Tokyo sake is hard to find at local liquor stores, we ordered it from a sake brewery. Delicious! I'm so happy!

Japanese>English

The acidity felt on the tip of the tongue is moderate, but freshness, sweetness, and luster spread simultaneously on the tongue, turning astringent and bitter when they reach the back of the tongue. The lingering taste is like thin asparagus. The luster is very assertive. The taste is quite different from BLUE 😄.

Japanese>English

This is the fourth bottle of the accumulated contributions! As I poured, bubbles danced through the gulp, and those bubbles quickly disappeared. It smells sweet and spicy. Bon appétit! I thought it smelled acidic, but when I put it in my mouth, I felt almost no acidity and it is a gentle, soft drink. I don't feel any corners at all 🙂. The assertion is somewhat moderate sweet and spicy, and the light sweet and sourness spreads from the tip of the tongue to the middle of the tongue, but then disappears. Among the sake I've had recently, the drinkability is outstanding, and it doesn't convey much of the intoxication, making it quite a dangerous sake 😇.

Kikusui Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Tsumugi. The aroma is mild but fruity. It is a delicious sake with a sweet flavor and a bitter taste at the end. It is aged in a tunnel at low temperature.

Third of five drinks 🍶.

Akita business trip... (1) Kanto, hot 🥵. Last week was my trip to Akita... or rather business trip 😅. Speaking of Akita.... First of all, I bought a small bottle of this at a local supermarket. There are so many small bottles in the supermarket, I can't choose which one I like best 😳. Looks slightly yellow Is it solid? It was so rich and clean.... Oh my goodness, it's so rich and sharp 🤩. It's so good! The sake I quickly picked up was a winner 🎯. I'm so happy😊. I also saw the dry review... I'm not sure if it's a little spicy when the temperature rises.... I think it's about the same. Is my tongue weird? 😅 I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to drink outside this time. Next time I want to try Izakaya local sake 😊.

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.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

I bought this sake today in Gujo Hachiman. It is a dry and refreshing food sake. It is a very good sake.

Japanese>English

I can't believe I'm going to be here. What a delicious aroma! It's been sitting in the fridge for 3 years. I couldn't bring myself to open it... I wonder if it's matured? Clean and refreshing taste with no corners. Lactobacillus-based sweetness and sourness Delicious! Now it's time to stir When I stirred the thick oli... Hmmm... I shouldn't have mixed it... But it's true, you never hear of aged ooze... I learned a lot!

Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Japanese>English

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

Japanese>English

I wonder if this is an aged wine too 🤔. It's even darker than Nada's Nama Ippon 😆. A little bit I feel the alcohol is stronger 😊.

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023(´¦) Very sharp and refreshing, a dry sake with a thick body that is not light. A junmai sake that tastes great chilled. No strong character, but good for everyday drinking I imagined that Frog's ginjo-nama-zake next to it would also be good, but my weak liver stopped screaming and I gave up on it! See you again, Mr. Frog!

Japanese>English

Tenma Dai-Shuukai (¡Ω-Ω-Ω) Slightly mellow raw storage It is a summer product with a refreshing taste and aroma It gets sweeter as it warms up, but it is basically refreshing when cooled down, right? The people dancing to the KUWATA BAND medley on the way home seemed to be having a good time! For some reason, they were so well prepared that they brought their own happi (happy coats)! It was wonderful that they were giving it their all! After all, the Tenma Taishukai is unique!

Japanese>English

. Frog label from Kotobuki Sake Brewery in Takatsuki, Osaka! I don't know why the frog label, but it is a good sake, very fruity and deep in flavor. I had it at home today with shrimp dumplings and this sake, and it was a very good accompaniment.

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.

Japanese>English

Day 2 of 4 consecutive days of local drinking The one that someone brought me. I've been to a sake brewery once and this brewery let me try all the brands👍️.

Japanese>English

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👍

It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Japanese>English

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

Japanese>English

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Daimon Shuzo Rikyubai Katanogahara Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Shuzake This brewery is located in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture. The rice is polished to 50% Yamadanishiki and Hinohikari grown in Katano. The aroma is calm and soft, and the taste of rice is mild, Well-balanced, refreshing and clean aftertaste. #Japanese Sake

Souvenir purchase from a trip to Osaka (2) This one is also dry and mild on the palate. Light. It has acidity and is fruity. I wonder if Kansai people tend to drink a lot of mustard.
