It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!

On the way back from Nagoya on the Shinkansen. Dry, more spicy on the back palate than on the palate. It tastes normal when you drink it, but you can smell a little odor at the moment you drink it.

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

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.

Shiga is Kawashima Shuzo's Toku Jun🍶. The aroma is quite classical. Bran-like aroma coming through the nose From the firm umami of rice The acidity starts and finishes. Traditional junmai sake flavor It tastes better when it is heated up hot. I feel that the roughness disappears when heated.

Shizuku-tori sake from my humble favorite, Ikumidoi-san. The aroma is gently fruity. It is berry-like with acidity. The mouthfeel is gentle, but the volume expands with both sweetness and dryness. It has a very beautiful structure with a disappearing aftertaste. A good sake for stand-alone drinking. I think it would also work well as a heated sake, perhaps because of the image of Ikumichii 👌.

🌾Domestic rice 🅰️15 degrees Purchased at Aji no Kura Taketoyo. A junmai sake with a fairly strong sugar aroma and flavor impact. Old-fashioned, quaint and authentic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Special Junmai sake with 60% polished rice ratio I bought the jacket because of the impressive cartoonish, retro Showa-era "Oniotome" illustrations. The illustration was done by Minako Sonobe. It is made with "Homare-Fuji" sake rice developed in Shizuoka Prefecture. It has a calm aroma and an elegant, gentle taste with a well-balanced flavor, and it tastes great on the finish!

I went to Fukuroi Sake House Yamaya for Kaiun Tachiharu Asashimusubori, and I was able to buy it without reservation every year, but not this year 😅I screwed up 😅. Since I went there, I bought another Risshun Asashibori 😊for good luck👍. It's a good omen 📌720ml ¥1,980 Here's a quick rice! The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink 😊👍 You can also taste the sweetness of the rice 💕 I think it's probably dry. It is a delicious sake that does not interfere with your meal💕💕💕 I couldn't buy the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori so I bought it anyway, but the Hatsuwakatake was even better than I imagined👍 Next year I'll remember to pre-order the Kaiun Tachiharu Asashibori 😅.

A love that has lasted over two years has been fulfilled. I had a bottle in Ito izakaya two summers ago and enjoyed it so much that I was looking for a bottle to buy someday. I finally met the devil maiden in love😄. It is slightly effervescent and has a rather firm, juicy sweetness, but the mouthfeel is light and cuts through easily. The aroma is greenish, like unripe bananas🍌. Fresh and easy to drink, it goes well with oily fish 🐟.

The 5th Sagajo Shoten Presents at the 5th Bishushu Raku Kushan Shokai 😃. The sake has been dry for a while, but let's have a sake with a very dry sake degree of +20 🎵Nagaragawa is basically dry 🤔Oh, it's spicy! Spicy is spicy, but the taste makes you wonder if it has a sake degree of +20 ❗It's not just spicy, it's a professional's job to give it character 😌.

Nagara River booth. It is not sold outside of the prefecture, so I guess it is a rare brewery to see in the Kansai region. I was a bit intimidated by the dryness of the sake, but when I tried it, I found it wasn't too hot. I think they were all refreshing.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Sake Rice used is Hidahomare. It is a so-called summer sake, and is said to be aged for one year. It does not have a matured feel and has a mild mouthfeel. It is refreshing as a summer sake should be, and the umami is clearly conveyed. It is easy to drink when cooled down to a crisp. The label is designed by a famous person? It's a cool design.

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😊😊😊.

The aroma of sweet rice...fruity...sweet in the mouth and with a crisp finish! It's a little bitter, but I don't mind it... but it's great for sipping on a glass of wine during meals or just sipping it on its own... it's really good.

Mutenzo of Tachibanakura Shuzo, which we visited during our Saku Sake brewery tour in GW. My wife bought it as a souvenir. It is sweet and delicious. The sweetness is still there, but it is not too strong, and the spiciness finishes it off. Delicious.
