Aroma: Fresh and clean, with a hint of citrus? Sweet and tasty, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste...sharp! Good as a food sake 🍶...but like last time, personally, it is not my favorite sake 🍶I would like to try other specs of Tobiroki...

Mild ginjo aroma. It is suitable for sipping. It is also suitable as a sake for eating. Of course, it can also be used by itself. It is an all-purpose type.

Has it been a little while? Tobiroki that was sleeping in the fridge! Opening the bottle♪ Refreshing citrus aroma, strong bitter sweetness and bitterness from the first sip. .... Hmmm! Unlike the sake I had imagined, it is dry? Is this the kind of sake it is? Is it light and dry? I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🍶... Personally, I'm not a fan of it...

Buy at Hasegawa Sake Store online. It is brewed with the common rice "Asahi". It is a precious bottle brewed with 50% polishing ratio. The sweetness is gentle and well-balanced. It has a mild and well balanced sweetness that I can only describe as excellent.

Happy New Year! A special Jikin for a special day. The sake rice is "Tokkami" Omachi, which is back after a four-year absence. We had planned to match it with Osechi cuisine, I have been savoring it on its own. It is a bottle with the sweetness and umami of Omachi concentrated in it.

At a nearby bar. Today, for the last time, the master of the restaurant offered us a gem that was not on the menu. First Jikin❗️When it came out from the back of the shop, I leaned forward. The mouthfeel is mellow, and the sweetness oozes out. It was a gem that I felt was profound.

Terroir of Okazaki 🍶 Junmai-shu brewed with "Manzai rice" produced in Okazaki at a milling ratio of 70 I think I could taste some bitterness.... I think I can feel a bit of bitterness... It doesn't lose its edge on the second day either... It doesn't seem to be round. Is it good as a food sake? It's different from the Jungin I drank before... a little disappointing... sorry...

Bread when you open the bottle! It's a lively sake from Western-style! The aroma is a faint and unique rice aroma. It has a sweet and bitter taste and a slight effervescence. As the label says, the balance is exquisite...you can drink it as is...this is...this is delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious

It's the first time I've taken two rabbits. "He who runs after two hares will catch two rabbits. That's a good phrase, isn't it? It's not too fragrant or sweet. It will come in handy as a sipping drink.

It's been a while since I've had it, but it's still my favorite flavor. It's rich and fruity, but the rice flavor is still there, and there's no bitter aftertaste. I bought a four-pack bottle, but I'm sure the one-pack bottle will be gone soon.

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

It is a new brand of Maruishi Brewery, famous for its ni rabbit. The first aroma is faintly sweet. When you take it into your mouth, you will taste umami and sweetness with a deep, mild acidity. It has a lingering mild umami taste, and it finishes gradually. The mild acidity of the sake is accented by the mellow acidity of the sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.

I went with the owner's recommendation. Niawabito no Kura. I remember that it was very mature and I also remember that it was very tasty. I want to drink it again.

Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake🍶. A little yellow. Mellow ☺️. As the name suggests, it's round 😅. A little schwar✨. Sweet and fruity. Between melon and pear 🍈. Matches well with thick fried tofu👍When paired with shime saba (mackerel), it's tangy and spicy. The smell does not spread and it is delicious. Lactic acidic. So it's from the sake brewery of Nisato🐇🤔. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki, drinking at home 20230721

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

This one, like the Ko-Imari, was purchased when I was with Yoohee-san. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui. It has a melon-like taste and a strong bitter taste like bitter melon. I thought it would be a little sweeter, but it is quite spicy. It is more like melon or cemedine. It is not my favorite type of rice.

At home. I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. The first bottle I opened this year was Suzukagawa from the same brewery as Saku, which I got at the end of the year. The aroma, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in the mouth are very similar. It wasn't as impressive as the Saku, but it was a delicious gem. At the end of the year, I mainly drank the same brands, but now that the year has started, I would like to try more and more new ones that I have never tasted before. This Suzukagawa is the first step, and I hope it will be a good start. I would like to continue my efforts to develop new sake.

I was going to buy Junmai from Suzukagawa, but they had a new sake, so I decided to buy this one 😊. Aroma with a beautiful atmosphere. It has a calm freshness and a firm sweetness. Saku's new sake is delicious, but Suzukagawa is also good 😋.

Aru-soke Ginjo class, which is not found in "Saku". Fruity flavor and a light mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly. It is not only light, but also has a well-defined taste. It is excellent as a food wine and goes well with everything. My partner, who loves "Saku", drank it at a high pace.
