36Guardians⚔️ I've had a nice change of tastes, and was recommended to me by the liquor store ✨. It used to be a very traditional and strong flavor, but now it's a very refreshing and crisp taste, The price is 500 yen (), but it's not bad. The price is also 500 yen (⤴️), I guess the price is 500 yen (), but the taste is acceptable 😋. But I think it peaks on the first day it is opened. After that, it might be better to drink it warmed up.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I miss the 36th person. I used to buy it at my favorite liquor store about 20 years ago. It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. The acidity and bitterness give it a taste of white wine. The sweetness increases as the temperature rises after a little time. It is also good as a food sake.

Japanese>English

A sake from Yamagata. It is brewed with Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma of Daiginjo. It has a clear taste of light and dry. I felt it was very easy to drink with good mouthfeel. I want to drink more of it! A gem that makes you want to drink more.

Smell reminiscent of lactic acid, bananas, wind forest. Light golden color, sticky liquid, sour and sugary sweet, hard water, a bit banana-y, pungent. The aftertaste is sweet and tingly, reminiscent of canned fruit syrup. As you get used to drinking it, you can taste the bitterness. Outweighs the sweetness of the roll cake. After eating the roll cake, you feel the sourness and this is delicious. I want to drink it thick and sweet and sip it little by little. If you add ice, you get sourness and bitterness. When it is warmed up, the strong sweetness is drawn out and changes to a gentle taste, and after the slight sweetness and sourness, it seems to seep in. It is delicious. I couldn't finish my drink.

Japanese>English

Mellow, refreshing, delicious 🍶. Super oicy ❕. I enjoy it very much.

The first challenge for the first Bodai yeast sake is the sake from Nara, the birthplace of Bodai yeast 🕺🏻. Takacho 🦅❗️ from Aburicho Sake Brewery, well known for Kaze no Mori 🕺🏻. I got this one because it's only available in April! The label is so cool 👍! I thought it might be a bit peculiar since it's made from the Muromachi period, but it's not as sour as I thought it would be, and it's full-bodied and tasty while also giving off a unique flavor😳. I was expecting it to be a bit peculiar, but it was not as acidic as I thought it would be, and it was delicious with a unique flavor and richness 😳. It is rated -34 on the sake scale, but it is not too sweet and can be drunk easily 😋. Different from Kaze no Mori, this one was delicious too! I think I'll try another Bodai Hashimoto Sake 😋!

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

This sake was given to us by a visitor to Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Niigata, which is famous for its signature Akita dog. It is slightly sweet and has a subtle rice flavor, and although it was made in December 2010, it does not have an aged feel and is refreshing and easy to drink. It has a slight peach and lactic acid flavor. I think it is one of the most delicious alcoholic sake.

Japanese>English

It was a delicious sake with a good balance of flavors and a fresh, mellow taste 😋.

Lightly perked. The richness of umami and spiciness asserts itself in the middle.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

Kashima Shrine, Ikisu Shrine, Katori Shrine I visited and bought from the three shrines of Eastern Japan! This time we got Katori! Junmai Natural Sake 80 I've never tasted sake like this before! Sweet aroma? The aroma of bread? The taste is strong and robust. The sourness and richness are similar to coffee... That's just my personal opinion😜. What the heck, I just finished 300mls! LOL! It is a divine drink 😁.

At home. Osaka Kawachinagano Amano Sake, the first time I️ had this sake. This brewery is located on Koya Kaido, and the surrounding area has a nice atmosphere. It was my first time to visit there, but it must be a famous place. The taste was quite dry, and it was a taste for adults.

Amano Sake Grand Sake Party(*) This is Amano sake's summer product. It has the core strength of the original sake and is spicy! I think it falls into the slightly dry category Amano Sake is not seen at all within the range of my activities. I was surprised to see Kuninonaga Junmai Ginjo on sale at a nearby 7-Eleven.

Purchased at a supermarket in Karuizawa. I did not expect much...but I experienced the power of Nagano sake🍶...aroma: a faint sweet aroma of rice, a clear sweet bitterness...the bitterness is just right and does not bother me...it is delicious😋...but it is also delicious😋 when drunk as is... ...but it really comes into its own as a food sake! It's a very beautiful sake that doesn't interfere with food 🍶♪ I'm sipping it with a side dish of inada I caught in Sagami Bay 😋♪ This is delicious 😋♪....
