I have always been curious about this sake. First, let's take a sip. Smells more like candy than fruit. Banana cake, lychee, yogurt, freshly baked pound cake, very ripe peaches. No sign of activity. Concentrated! Concentrated syrup. Tart on the tongue with a good sweetness, ripe fruit like pears, green apples, and some alcohol as when the fruit is quite ripe. Finishes with bitterness, acidity and sweetness and has a long finish. Good and amazing. Power. It's drinkable with a splash. Shake a few times to mix and drink. Rice, milky smell. The rice flavor, sweetness, and sourness of the rice spread out in a flash, and the doburoku, or doburoku, has a fruitiness that surrounds the main rice flavor, and the bitterness comes in and gives it a nice sharpness. The rice is almost completely melted, so it is smooth and refreshing. Delicious! A few days later, after shaking and mixing, it did not separate even after a few hours. The alcohol feeling gradually faded away, and when I drank it, I could feel the strong rice flavor spreading out, sweet and mellow, like a dessert. A delicious drink.

There are several alcoholic beverages that have been neglected for almost a year since I bought them, and this is one of them. Let's open the bottle to see what it tastes like! It's so easy to drink! Doburoku is generally considered to be a rather difficult liquor to drink because of its strong acidity and various other strong habits. But what is this doburoku! It's not so sweet or sour, just enough to give a gentle taste of the ingredients, and it's easy to drink! For those who like that habit, it may be quite insufficient. However, I like it this much better now. Other doburoku seems to take a little more getting used to. The rice mash is not that strong and has a mouthfeel similar to muddy sake. If I am wrong, it may even be easier to drink than the more habitual muddy sake... lol. Combined with the PET bottle container, it felt like Koiwai apple juice. Are my nose and tongue going crazy? I can feel the apple feeling somewhere. The packaging is probably a parody of the classic movie Leon. I found a funny one on Twitter, so I'll post it here.

In a word, sour! From sourness came a slight sweetness. Strength of fermentation.

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

I got this one at my wife's parents' house. I've drunk Rumiko-san before, but this is the first time I've had an active muddy one😙. After 10 minutes of opening and closing the bottle, I finally made a toast🍾 It's fresh and crispy❣️and tingly❣️. It's got a nice sourness and bitterness to it 😆. I think I may have drunk the most 🤪! Thanks for the treat🙏.

I've been drinking a lot of cold sake lately, so I had it heated for the first time in a while 🥰. The rice flavor is very strong and perfect for warming up ️. The mild and soothing taste is very relaxing 😊.

A local sake from my relatives. Yamada Nishiki has a strong flavor. It has a strong alcoholic taste, which is typical of Japanese sake. There is no miscellaneous taste, so you can feel the elegance of traditional sake. The sake has a strong flavor with a strong alcohol taste.

Purchased at Isetan Kyoto The penguins are cute and impulse buy💦. It has a faint aroma, and after drinking it, you can taste the rice and a little pungent taste. I was surprised at how light it was when I put it in my mouth. It's also low in alcohol, so it's a good drink to have outside at lunch.

Shotoku Junmai Daiginjo Kyo Purchased at Tomiya in Kyoto Station. It is a Kyoto souvenir. It is brewed with celebratory rice produced in Kyoto. Soft to dry in the mouth. It has a sour taste and is delicious. The accompaniment is dried mackerel with mirinboshi. That's right, it goes well with mackerel.

The label is "Shotoku" in katakana, a novelty. We use 100% of Kyoto's original sake rice "Shukyu"! It's not easy to drink in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo! It's hard to find in Tokyo! Let's take a sip... ⁈This is ⤴︎ The rice is packed with flavor. It's packed with rice flavor, and it spreads in your mouth. It's dancing 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 delicious! And later, the aged flavor! The mouthfeel and flavor is rich and I also enjoyed the lingering taste from the acidity♪♪

Last Friday, while playing mahjong, we compared the hanpukai drinking ‼️ I honestly don't remember much😅. Well, mahjong was fun 🤣. Shinshu sake is usually very good, so you can drink it without worries 👍

This was also at the tasting. Gorgeous but a little thin? I thought. I've never tasted rice called Yatan 35 before. I heard they use a yeast called "2021".

Tasted and purchased. Firmly sweet but refreshing. Maybe citrusy? Dangerous one because of the low alcohol content. I wish Shirobotan would release fresh sake. It is sweet, but the alcohol taste is a little strong. I feel it is a bit strong. I think it tastes better after about 2 days than when it is freshly opened, even though it is fire-aged. It is similar to the impression I had when I drank it at a tasting.

2021/09/11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opened the bottle carefully with a little bit of crown. As soon as you open it, you can smell the fresh aroma of lactic acid. A gentle refreshing sweetness and then a dry feeling comes. It is a type of beer that can be drunk crisply until the end. Thanks to the low alcohol and strong carbonation It's so refreshing that I couldn't stop sipping it.

Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi? It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.

Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake. It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator. It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way). At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor. The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake. Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.

First UGO series: ❗️ The aroma is modest: ❗️ In the mouth it has a 🍑 like sweetness and aroma😊. Complex taste but nice👍 A little more sourness and a clean aftertaste 🤔. The overall aroma and taste is to my liking. It was a very tasty sake😍 I would like to try other UGO as well ‼️

. I guess this one falls into the swishy category too 🤔. Light sweetness and lightness of the moment 😋. It might be good for those who say they are not good at sake!
