I asked if there was anything cold? I asked and a rare sake was served 😳. This Kikutaka is no longer available 😊. Thankfully we had it 😃. It has a rich flavor as if it is unfiltered Yamahai, and the acidity is quite strong and peculiar 😊. I think it is a good choice for those who drink it 😊.

(˶ᐢ˶ GW Tohoku Tour Purchases (7) I bought this at Ishidoriya Roadside Station 😀. The taste is gentle on the palate😊Sourness? It's a bit sour but easy to drink 😚 It's a bit sweet but refreshing😇. Today I had Tenho, a local ramen of Nagano prefecture 😋 I had the meat fried ramen🍜 and gyoza🥟😘The light ramen and gyoza went well together🥳Next I will try the dandanmen😙.

Junmai Daiginjo that is not like Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness is moderate. It takes some time for the flavors to develop. Personally, I've always had the impression that Yamadanishiki has a sweet aftertaste, but the dryness of the flavor reminded me of the diversity of Japanese sake. And even though it's supposed to be a little out of character for my taste, it was a dish that made me drink more! As the temperature rises, the taste is distinctly sweet at first and then dry (and crisp) at the end. It broke the stereotype that Yamada Nishiki is sweet! The brewery started brewing in 1922. The name of the brand was changed from the famous water "Horime-no-Ido" to "Horinoi".

A gift of Koshino Kanbai, 100% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 30%! The aftertaste of Yamadanishiki, with its moderate bitterness and full flavor, is good.... I guess...

I bought it at Max Value. The aroma is lightly fruity? It's a good idea to try a little bit of both. Today, my second son is taking care of me. It is better than drinking alone✌️. I think I'm going to drink too much😊😊😊.

This brand impressed me at the end of May this year. It was an unfiltered, raw, undiluted summer sake. This time, I will have a dry one. Ooooooooo! The aroma is vinegar-like. It smells like vinegar. When you drink it, the atmosphere reminds you of that excitement. The summer sake was thick, but this one is super light. It is light and fruity. It is delicious! Mr. Okada, the brewer, was at the store. I immediately asked him for his autograph! He was very shy and said, "This is the first time for me to write something like this. I am so happy! I would love to visit the warehouse. I have one more thing on my to-do list to look forward to! Thank you, President Okada!

Japanese>English

It will be a gift🙏. This is a special junmai from Morinori brewed by Okada Honke in Kakogawa, Hyogo Prefecture. It was recommended to me by someone who knows a lot about Japanese sake. It is fresh and has a refreshing taste with a richness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku and can be enjoyed while savoring the sake. ☺️

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

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 😌.

Sake brought back from our trip to Niigata Sake recommended by the lady who was selling it. Very gassy 💨 Sake with a strong moromi Dry and crisp 💪. It's a nigori sake, but you can drink it with gusto as a food sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

For my fourth cup, I decided on the "Koshihikari" which caught my attention! The palate is clean and refreshing, but as you taste it, it mellows out a bit with a banana feel. The acidity tightens it up so that it does not interfere with the taste, so it is well-balanced and easy to drink👍.

Japanese>English

This is probably the first time I have had this sake. It is a Niigata-style sake with a strong umami of rice and a dry, refreshing taste. It is a well-balanced sake. The name of the brewery is quite close to the sea in Nagaoka, so I had never heard of it before.

Flesh! It has a wine nouveau-like feeling. Is it because it's the first time it's been squeezed?

Fuji Day Morning Squeeze! I've been drinking it since last year. It's a very delicious sake. I'm looking forward to another year!

Japanese>English

The light blue color with goldfish, fireworks, sunflowers, and wind chimes is cool, and the fluent white font further expresses the sense of sake. I imagined it would have a greenish smell because of the name "Numazu, Shizuoka," but it was crisp or smooth? But it was crisp or smooth? I was expecting it to have a greenish taste, but it was crisp and smooth.
