Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake🍶Yume no Kaori🌾. My wife's Fukushima Onsen souvenir ♨️ Thank you for selecting a sake that I don't think I've ever had ☺️ Aroma fruity. Melon from melon🍈 gentle taste☺️. It's like a Fukushima sake. Sweet, delicious, and spicy. Versatile 💯. Souvenir sake @ home drinking 20230603

☀️ Soft sweetness like pear 🍐. I think it's similar to the same Fukushima's Yama-no-i 🤔. It has a clean throat and watery sensation. If you look closely, it was alcohol added 😳. I felt that the sake brewing technique is very advanced with a finish that does not feel like alcohol 😊.

Japanese>English

It is made with "Gohyakumangoku" and is dry and refreshing. Can be served at room temperature.

The 2nd meeting of Kansai Off-line Meeting Year-End Party ✌️. Around this time, tables were filled with Hormone Yakisoba is delivered one after another 🤣. And Shirokuma sake 🐻❄️! It's a light cloudy sake. Aroma is fruity but slightly dry ❄️. Easy to drink even when chatting easy to drink and easy to drink 😋.

Shirokuma Shirokuma - Winter light nigori - 720ml Rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol: 16%. I opened a bottle of Hatsuzakura because my wife said it was too strong. It is soft and a little bit sweet. It is very different from the other two bottles that were made with a cloudy rice that looked like porridge. I would like to drink the animal series throughout the year 😊.

Ah! Easy to drink (^^) Sake that is gassy, refreshing and delicious 🍶. A guy that women shouldn't drink ❣️ Nice 👍

Serve cold. Super dry with a high alcohol content. It has an old sake-like flavor for advanced drinkers.

Japanese>English

Very dry. You can really feel the rice malt in this sake. It would definitely go well with a fatty steak. Personally, I felt it was sharp enough to be just right on the rocks.

Japanese>English

I got it as a souvenir from my trip😊. Thanks again ❗️ Then. The aroma is classic. Mouth watering eyes 👀. So called dry, right? Sharp, dry, acidic to alcoholic with a late spike 🔥. Maybe you can warm it up 😊.

It was my first time to try Usuzakura. I missed the chance to buy nama sake, so I bought hiyaoroshi. The rice is Ginfuki. It has a relaxed atmosphere. The aroma is a little fruity. It has a mild sweet umami taste. Is it sweet among the Hiyaoroshi?

Japanese>English

This brand is also fresh and delicious no matter which one you drink. It is a small brewery, so if you find it, you should definitely try it.

Japanese>English

Since I drank up the Shinkai Sanjo so quickly, I had another bottle of Shiga sake. This is a light nigori (nigori is a little bit thicker than the original) sake from Omi Tohei Sake Brewery in Higashiomi City. This sake is made by Masumoto Sake Brewery in Higashiomi City. You may not find this sake outside of Shiga. By the way, although not in Higashiomi, I stopped by my favorite museum, Lake Biwa Museum, so I'll introduce some of my lake friends with a few photos 💕. At the center is the red cheeked bite with a trademark. It is served cold. The color is a gentle light nigori. The top aroma is of blue melon and white peach with a gentle fragrance. The overall finish is dry with a strong alcohol attack, The sweet and sour aroma of blue melon and white peach mingles with the richness of milky rice, and the taste sublimates into a rich sweet and sour umami like dried fruit in the mouth. When heated, the sharp alcohol taste settles down, and the balance between the mild and mellow rice flavor and the enhanced bitterness and the thickened mouthfeel is indescribable. This feeling is 👍 in the middle. I imagine it is like a softer version of sakuten. I must drink Furozumi too!

2024 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake - 18Last. Yoshinotomo Junmai Ginjyo Nama Nama Sake Tominokou As I recall, it is a current sake with apple blossom yeast. I heard that there were 40 kinds of sake at this banquet, but only 18 made it to the end. Each brewer's brewing water was also offered as a Wakarimizu. We were fully entertained, thank you very much to the secretariat 😊.

It doesn't interfere with the food at all, it just goes right in. Very easy to drink.

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

Japanese>English

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.

7.5 points (wife: 7 points) Rice type : Manzai, Kakemai, Chiyonishiki Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Alcohol content : 15 Where purchased: Charcoal BBQ KIZUNA (It is a neighborhood barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy rare parts of black hair on a shichirin, and the owner is a sake lover and always has several kinds of local sake available) Slightly melon-like topping The cherry-like aroma, soft rice flavor, and subtle sweetness mixed with the top-brewing aroma gradually spread out with a clean acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. This sake has a gentle, somewhat classical impression. It is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. Goes well with various kinds of grilled meat.

Japanese>English

I bought it yesterday along with Futaba. This time it was recommended to me as a special sake again. It tastes drier, fresher and punchier than Futari. The alcohol content is 17% and it's like a Mikawa-bushi. 1415yen

Japanese>English

AI told me about this Junmai Ginjo sake. It is only available by either going to the sake brewery or by mail order. It is a slightly cloudy, sweet sake with a pleasant aroma and a high alcohol content of 17 degrees, but it is surprisingly light to drink and goes well with meals.

A souvenir from Hazuki. The sweetness increases when heated.

Honjozo 🍶. Quite refreshing, like water. Dry. Does not get in the way of eating good food. Perfect score as a daily sake 💯. Purchased at Sugatoyo Sake Shop @ Kesennuma 20230103

Japanese>English

I had it on a trip to Sanriku. It has a nice, calm taste, and it just keeps going and going. We visited a sake brewery just before the trip and were allowed to taste various kinds of sake, which was a nice experience!

Japanese>English

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.
