The appearance is transparent and pale crystal silver. The nose is gorgeous and full, with hints of pear, banana, and acacia. There is a freshness of green bamboo, lime minerality, mushroom and chestnut aroma, and sour cream fermentation. The first impression on the palate is rather strong, with plump sweetness, round and firm acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. The aftertaste is rather long.

Japanese>English

It is mild, non-habit forming, and very easy to drink. It goes well with many different kinds of meals and can be savored on its own after a meal.

Japanese>English

It is a home brewed sake, and the rice used to make it is grown in Okayama Prefecture. It has a rice polishing ratio of 50%, a sake degree of +1.0, and an undisclosed acidity level. It was clear in color, slightly thickened, refreshing, and fresh from the rice.

Last night was a get-together. We brought our own sake, assuming it wouldn't be too much since it was an all-you-can-drink course at an izakaya chain restaurant. (I got the restaurant's approval!) I bought my first bottle of Vice Shogun. The aroma is fresh and fruity. The mouthfeel is salty-sweet with a hint of sourness. The ginjo aroma becomes a pleasant aftertaste, and is finished off with a mild sourness and bitterness. I thought it was based on a light dry base, but I could feel Aizan's character, and it was very tasty. The fact that everyone who drank it gave it high marks probably indicates that they were paying attention to me. I also like the cost performance of Aizan's Junmai Daiginjo, which is under 2,000 yen! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Sake from Sakai Sake Brewery in Gotohashi 300ml fizzy Sweet and sour💕. More of a sour than sweet 😆. But the fizz is really strong. The balance between the sourness and the acidity was so good! It was so delicious ⤴️⤴️! I want to buy this again for a quick drink when I find it💕.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. So-called "craft saké" sake. The only ingredient is rice malt. It is sweet and sour with white malted rice. It is sweet and sour, but it has a fruity taste and I like it better than other sakes made with white malted rice.

Japanese>English

LAGOON BREWERY's Shozora Mori no SAKE - Kuromoji Doburoku. It is said to be mixed with a herb called kuromoji, and it certainly smells not like doburoku. Is it the aroma? It may be the smell of aroma? It is a sake with a new sensation.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we are opening our second bottle 💪. Shozora Drunken Melon 2023BY🍈🍈🍈🍈🍈. LAGOON, which has been making a name for itself in craft saké Brewery, who has been making a name for themselves in craft saké, is finally opening their first bottle at our house✨. Let's start with the top clear. The aroma is of melon🍈, but there is a sweet smell of baked goods 🍪 on the palate as well. It's like drinking pudding caramel or bitter chocolate liqueur 🍫. When the lees of doburoku is mixed well, the texture of mashed rice and creaminess is added and the sweet liqueur mentioned earlier is a little gentler but well, sweet. It's a dessert sake, but it looks delicious with soda or something 🙌

Ibaraki Local Sake Tour Made with 100% Hitachinishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing. Both the rice and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Refreshing, light, and slightly fruity. Serve with strawberries and mashed baked potatoes.

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

A little dry. But delicious. You can feel the flavor of sake rather than fruity. I️ got drunk while I was thinking about what to have for a snack.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second one in the Hokkaido series. Kokushi Muso is a metaphor for being so good that no two people under the sun are alike. I was expecting it to have a strong alcoholic taste, but I was betrayed in a good way. It has a fruity aroma and a refreshing, clean taste that goes well with any meal. I think I'll end up drinking too much of it. But the words "Hokkaido Limited" are magic. I feel like I got a great deal just from this word.

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Hokkaido rice Kitshizuku Rice polishing ratio : 55 Sake meter : +3 Acidity: 1.7 Alcohol content: 17-18%. Sold at: Takasago Shuzo (Asahikawa City) When opened, it has a gaseous feeling. Almost no gas Slightly alcoholic grape-like top note The aroma is like light grapes and peaches, the umami of rice and gentle sweetness spreads with soft acidity, and it finishes with a hint of bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness. The aroma and sweetness are mild, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, giving it a mildly juicy impression. It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It went well with crispy grilled chicken (salted and teriyaki flavors), turnip and chicken in cream sauce.

Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.

to suit the meat.

I bought this simple labeled sake because I was curious. When warmed up, it has a robust lactic acid aroma, a gentle sweetness, and a full, rich umami. It has a nice lingering aftertaste that seems to soak in. At room temperature, it has a slightly sweet and sour rice aroma with a banana-like flavor. The juicy umami comes as a surprise as it rises from the mild sweetness. I thought it would be good warmed up, but it may be good in various ways.

Immediately after opening the bottle, it was dry and dry, perhaps due to the 17% alcohol content. Then, after leaving it in the refrigerator for about 5 days due to a business trip, the taste changed drastically! There is almost no aroma, but it has turned into a crisp, sweet and delicious sake. There are not many sakes that have changed in taste like this.

Japanese>English

I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again. Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears. The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage! Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced. The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending! The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring. It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!

live performance At the usual restaurant. This is the first time I have had Machida Shuzo's Honjozo. It has a freshly squeezed, fizzy taste. Degree of alcohol content: 18 With fried chicken wings.

I bought this alcohol as a tie-in to the No.6 x type direct pass 🍶. It wasn't exactly the sake I wanted, so the bar was low, but I was surprised when I tried it: ‼️ It is one of the best tasting sakes I have ever had👍. Fruity aroma typical of daiginjo 🍌. It has a good umami taste, a nice acidity, and no bitterness 😀. I'm glad I found a good sake that I like (^...^)

Japanese>English

A taste of the season. The acidity of the sake's yeast yeast yeast is in harmony with the spiciness of the yeast. The spicy richness is alive in the aftertaste.
