At the tasting. It was explained to me that it was dry. It is certainly dry, but it has a gentle spiciness. It has a mild mouthfeel. I bought Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate after comparing the drinks.

Japanese>English

It's been hot every day, so we had it crispy cold and served it with a glass of wai. It was extremely tasty! It has a full aroma and richness, and if I were to describe it as a wine, I would say it is medium-bodied. It seems to go well with eel, so I'm going to drink a little bit of it today and save it until the day of the Ox.

A short trip to Shiga Prefecture with my wife (3) The last of the three sake tasting was Hokkoku Kaido Junmai Sake from Yamaji Shuzo. This brewery is said to be the fourth oldest brewery in Japan, but of course this was the first time we had tasted their sake. First, the aroma. It has a strong sake aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will taste a soft sweetness, which also has a strong sake aroma. After that, a soft bitterness can be felt. The second half of the sake has a strong stimulation and is very drinkable.

Unzan Junmai Nama-zake 1600yen (The color is clear. It goes down smoothly on the palate. The delicious taste of rice and the juiciness of the sake will hit your tongue. The aftertaste is not harsh, but moderate. We recommend drinking it with appetizers, sashimi, and other dishes that are served with dashi broth. The target group is sake drinkers. It is good for those who want dry sake. Sake from Nagano

I bought it for New Year's. I put it to sleep again! I'm just now opening the bottle. It's got a nice sizzle to it. Just the right amount of acidity. Is it a summer sake? It has a nice umami. It has a taste. I like it. Delicious! Alcohol 17%. Polishing ratio 60 Preference 4.0 Repeat Yes

I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔. Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well. After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.

Japanese>English

First impressions are a sharp taste with a dry finish. There is sweet apple flavor with a hint of wood / taru. Good combination with foods that are on the salty side. This is a limited Sake.

Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. Kawashima Sake Brewery Co. Matsu-no-hana Shojo no Mai Junmai Daiginjo Yes, this is "Matsunohana". It is a little expensive sake, but I did not buy it by myself. I am quite happy to receive sake that I don't often buy for myself. I opened the bottle remembering that Kunihiko Mitamura went to Kawashima Sake Brewery in a TV program. I had it cold. The color is clear with a yellowish tinge. The top aroma is sweet and fruity with considerable depth. It is a scent that I quite like. The palate feels sweet on the tongue. As it spreads on the tongue, it is richly sweet and full-bodied, like ripe fruit. The rich, full-bodied sweetness is followed by a gradually bitter taste. The bitter bitterness lingers for a long time. The price is a little high, but it has a good balance of elegance, sweetness, and bitterness. After passing the throat, it has a modest sake taste, but it is not unpleasant. It has a strong flavor that I liked. Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice Koji(domestic) Alcohol content: 15%. Polishing ratio: 65

Miyamanishiki. The sweetness of the flavor is refreshing. The aftertaste is cohesive.

Japanese>English

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.

Japanese>English

Spring-like ⁉️ Sour and sweet I wonder if this kind of thing is also possible (^^) I found out later that this sake was made by incorporating the voices of the female staff of the brewery 🍶. Now is the time for women to be active 👩‍🍼 It's an essential factor for future sake brewing.

It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

Japanese>English

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

Sentoku, a gift from Sentoku...Junmai is a traditional ...the... Junmai is a traditional sake...the local sake! It's a little bit different from the popular sake...but I think it's a good sake for a meal. I don't like Ginshizuku and Kinshizuku because they are alkaloids... Thanks for the hard-to-find sake 🍶... Hmmm... I guess that's what general sake is like.... Now I have to go to Okinawa...

Ordered to win the national championship. The rice has a robust flavor. It is surprisingly easy to cut. Perfect with meat dishes.

I wish I could have been there to see it all! The other day I walked past the liquor section of a large supermarket and found a familiar name for a sake 😁I found Chitoku, the gateway to Miyazaki Prefecture 🐎 breaking through the impregnable castle gate of Miyazaki Prefecture 🐎. It's a cup of sake, but it's a celebration. If I hadn't seen the sakenowa, I wouldn't have noticed it. Thank you all 😄😄😄.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.
