(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was hot today, so I had a bottle of Dobrock. It's my first time to drink in Tokyo😙It was separated so I mixed it up and opened the bottle. It was very carbonated and I spilled a lot of water 😛 It was so fizzy it was like pouring cider into a glass. It's not too sweet and the grains of rice are delicious. It's also good on a hot day as it's chilled 😀.

Japanese>English

Looks so cool!!! 🤣LOL Not the usual goddess of ministry️. I wonder who she is: ？？？？ LOL! Compared to the standard Hanagumori Clean and refreshing👍. It's a doburoku but it's like eating a fruit. Rice dessert feeling😋. It also refreshes greasy food. The chocolate was delicious too 😚😚

Japanese>English

I carefully opened the bottle and it took about 15 minutes. It's a sake that you can eat with your eyes, with the grains of rice usually recognizable. Overall, the strong gaseous feeling gives a swooshing impression, so it's refreshing to drink. I liked it.

This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture). It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock. This is the one I found in my parents' fridge. Cool and pungent. A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor. Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you. The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness. The intense flavor is intoxicating. After all, Genpei is delicious. I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed. The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.

This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Oku-Echizen region, Fukui Prefecture. I bought this sake when I went back home for summer vacation, and it just appeared. It has a sweet aroma that spreads quickly, with a sharp pungency. The sharpness of the spiciness is complemented by the sharpness of the aroma, which reminds me a bit of Western-style sake. It is a country sake, but it is quite gorgeous and sparkling. How about when it is warmed up? The spiciness rushes in like a gust of wind. The spiciness rushes through like a gust of wind, gushing out sweetness and melting away the flavors of the snacks at a torrent-like speed. It is just like spring melt water. The faint scent of vanilla in the aftertaste is also a nice touch. I enjoy the speed and grace.

Japanese>English

I was a little curious about it with lots of writing, so I bought it. I heard it was super dry. Hohoho. It has a pungent taste that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes it easy to drink. It has a spiciness that goes down your throat, but it also has a delicious flavor that makes you feel like you can drink it without hesitation. Let's try it with meat and fish to see how well it goes with them. The spiciness of the sake also faded when paired with tonteki (pork belly) with sweet and spicy sauce.

#OsakaUmeda# I have an important meeting, I arrived in Osaka. Actually, I arrived early, I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆. I had this before the meeting. Sweet and sticky 🐴.... I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

Japanese>English

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

Japanese>English

Polishing rice 70%. Sake from Shimane, and cheap, so I bought it on impulse. I bought it on impulse at Tokyu Food Show in Shibuya. The aroma is a little bit sweet, but the flavor is strong. It has a strong umami flavor. The acidity is a bit strong on the palate. The aftertaste is quite long! Not too pungent, but not sweet either. It has an interesting taste! Maybe it's a food sake. It's not too much of a distraction, but it's nice.

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Japanese>English

Location Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture Rice type Gohyakumangoku Type of sake Junmai Ginjo Rice Polishing degree %. Alcohol 15.5° Alcohol content Yeast Unknown Sake Degree Acidity Rating（scale is 0-3) (Item) Wine glass (Aroma) +1.5 apple, apricot curd, nuts (Appearance) Crystal (Taste) Taste Body 2 Acid 2.5 Sweetness 2 Umami 1.5 Bitterness 2 Lingering: Lactic acidity sticks around and leaves a pleasant bitter aftertaste Impression: Fruity, light, medium-dry The aroma is mild, but there is a mix of fruity and umami aromas. The taste is also consistent with the aroma, with a mix of fruity and umami aromas with beautiful acidity, and a fuller taste than Yamahai. The balance between the two is very good, making it a beautiful sake that can be easily enjoyed on its own. Repeat Score 2.5

Japanese>English

Launch at Jiyugaoka (5) The fifth drink was Echigo Den'emon Gozu! Unique label, first time to drink! I found on the internet that the number "5" has various meanings. It seems to be made by polishing 50% of "Gohyakumangoku", Life goes on.(Life GOZ on.) It is an ironic subculture that expresses positivity, akin to resignation toward one's own life, which is full of peaks and valleys, but one still has to live on (according to the producer's data), Is it a little muddy? A little soft. A touch of sweetness Fresh acidity

Your first brand ✨ A gift from MAJ! Thanks. It has a pretty yellowish color. I wonder what about other standard sake or something 🤔. The aroma is sour and the taste is also sour. You can feel the greeful feeling, Perfect for the hot summer months✨. I'm sure this will be very popular if they expand their distributorships 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and slightly tart. There are flavors of apple and a hint of pear. A medium mouth feel with acidity to clean your pallet. Nicely refreshing.

Although the label is damaged, the Sake is a beautiful melon flavor with a hint of banana. There is also some acidity to give it some dryness at the finish. Good balance between sweet and dry with a medium mouth feel. Excellent!

#Otaru#. I was a lecturer at a conference for companies. In the evening in Otaru, we had a get-together with the participating companies. The sake served there was Otaru's local sake. I prefer sweet sake, but it was a bit... I felt the spiciness was strong for a +5 sake, maybe because it was junmai? Today, I had to travel from Nagasaki to Otaru, I was a little tired😅.

This Sake is very interesting. It has a citrus flavor like grapefruit. The flavor really cleanses the pallet.

Junmai nama-shu YAMADANISHIKI 90 Rice polishing ratio 90%❗️ This is the challenge sake of Michiko Urasato, the female toji of Yui. Yamada Nishiki is brewed at 90% polishing ratio without polishing. The taste of the rice is rich and intense❗️, but there is a light fizzy feeling. There is also a little bit of orage mixed in. This is why it is milder and softer in the mouth than I expected. The aftertaste is refreshing. It's amazing. Michiko Urasato, Toji 💡. I had it with ginger yaki, and it was delicious. The sake and side dishes go well together😆. I've heard that if you let it sit for a few days, you'll get a different taste of the rice, so I stopped at halfway today. I heard it's also good at different temperatures.

I like sparkling wine 🩷. Once I open the bottle, I get drunk because I feel like I have to drink it all... but that's OK because it's low in alcohol content.

Limited brand of Daishinshu: 🇯🇵 Buy it during your pilgrimage to the Holy Land✨. Only about 10 dealers carry this brand. You can find anything in the Holy Land........ 🤣. The ginjo aroma is green apple 🍏. It's been a long time since I've had a Daishinshu, but we share the same aroma 😤. I wonder if the sake rice is Hitogokochi or Miyamanishiki? (→ later I checked and it was Hitogochiki 😳) The balance of sweetness and umami, and then acidity to finish is perfect🤣.
