After the initial sweetness of the rice, the bitterness and tangy strength of the alcohol give it a strong character, and I thought it was a sake for a slightly selective drinker.

Japanese>English

It was warmed to lukewarm because it was awarded the gold medal for warmed sake. Hmmm! It's a taste that you may or may not like. It has a peculiar taste😅. This is also an experience 😊. I want to know the taste of various alcohols and find my own special one: ✨️

Japanese>English

With Tenzuma in the morning. It's a very good drink. I think Kamisugi is the best sake.

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.

At the second restaurant is Kenbishi. It's delicious too!

1833 2024/6 Kinshi-Morinori Junmai-Ginjo Nigori Sake Hyogo Yamadanishiki 60 16° 24/5 A+ Kakogawa City, Hyogo 720 1890 I heard it was an active nigori, but was it fire-aged? The fizzy sensation was quite strong, and although I was very careful to open the bottle, I almost blew out even on the second glass. The taste is dry at first, but thanks to the very smooth orization, the sweetness and umami come slowly later. It can be enjoyed not only as a sparkling sake, but also as a deeply flavored nigori sake. Sake-no-wa, I see that I can no longer log in from my PC: ......

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.

Japanese>English

Towards the dry side, good for a clean drink.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a sake brewery (1) Even though the store was closed on a regular holiday, the staff at the store was courteous and allowed me to purchase it willingly. The strongest bubbles in my history! Light, dry and slightly dry. You can taste the umami of rice, but the lingering aftertaste quickly disappears. A delicious sake that is very easy to drink! After a few days from opening the bottle, it loses its freshness and becomes fruity and elegant.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

Japanese>English

I bought this after tasting it at the brewery that brews Diachiku in Chino City. It has no label on the front 😳it is a raw sake with alkaloids. Every December, locals come to buy this sake. It's been six months so it doesn't have a lot of pizzazz, but they say it's very stable. I first tried it cold. Alcohol content: 20%. The taste is pleasant, with a nettled rice flavor and a hint of sweetness. The spiciness that comes afterward is also nice. On the second day, we served it lukewarm. It was very tasty with a deep sweet flavor spreading through it. It makes you feel refreshed. It went well with the tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of wakasagi (smelt) and sea bream that we bought in Suwa. This sake is good with hot pot and 🍢, and I would like to drink it in winter.

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

@ Daikokuya Liquor Store Maniacal selection of products, I thought I would go back. Rice used is Kame-no-o. It has a gaseous taste with a crisp and clean aftertaste. It is gorgeous. The sweetness is a little strong, but it goes in smoothly. It was a solid and delicious sake ❗️.

Nanamaru's Nama Sake 🍶. As always, a bold drink! Plenty of umami stored in the bottle The strong acidity also tightens the taste. Sake that is quite drinkable! It has been a long time since I wanted to drink it. I got the news of new sake! I will enjoy it slowly.

Fukui Sake 🍶. While waiting for the Thunderbird on a business trip to Fukui, I went to a bar and compared three different kinds of sake. I had three kinds of sake selected on my own. All were delicious and it was hard to choose one over the other, but the Manazuru sake was my favorite! I wish I could have had more!

Second one today. My father-in-law stocked it on a mountain climbing trip to Fukui. My brother-in-law said, "First it's "gah," then it's "su," then it's "un-cha-cha-cha," and so on. Sorry for all the onomatopoeia. I didn't understand it at all. I didn't understand it at all.

We stock sake from Kyushu, which we don't have much of locally. The first one is Nishinoseki. The aroma and taste are quite hard. The first punch worked on my hungry body. It made me hot from the back of my throat to my stomach.

Welcome off-line meeting for Jay & Nobby (5) It has been almost an hour since the start of the party, and we have about 30 minutes until the last order of drinks. The fifth sake in the lineup was this one, which boasts the lowest sake level of -14. Nishinoseki Nigori Sake. Aroma of rice and malted rice, sweetness reminiscent of amazake, and bitterness after a sharp taste. The pour is smooth and easy to drink 😁.
