Mellow, oicy 🍶. Is it a good taste ✨? I'm enjoying it.

Japanese>English

It has a clear, yet subtly sweet and umami taste. The final acidity gives it a sharp edge. The taste has an atmosphere that it can be matured. I expected it to be a little sweeter and fruity, so I was disappointed... It has a thick and extractive mouthfeel. It has a nutty flavor but finishes with a refreshing acidity.

Japanese>English

It has a very pleasant balance of sweetness that doesn't linger and a bitter aftertaste. ❣️ It is even better at higher temperatures. This is a good umami sake!

Japanese>English

The top aroma is slightly honey-like. When you drink it, it is sweet and spicy and refreshing, but it also has a slightly bitter taste. This is delicious. Drinking it at room temperature, it has sweetness, but it is dry and delicious. The hint of aroma is slightly fruity. It has a good balance. I wanted to drink it hot, so I warmed it up. Then it became slightly sour and the flavor changed a little. It was a little too warmed and became more than kamikan, or maybe it would be better warmed to lukewarm. Or room temperature would be better. It is good on its own or during a meal. Lukewarm heating of ginjo-shu is delicious. It went well with pickled Chinese cabbage and DX Neru Neru. Is it similar to Genmai's Ginjo or Dawn's First Nama Ippon? I especially like it! Yamada Nishiki Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15

Trophies of the GW Kanazawa - Takayama trip. When I think of canned draft sake, I think of Kikusui Ichiban Shibori, but since this sake is also from Ishikawa Prefecture, which is famous for its sake, my expectations naturally went up. The design of the can is also austere. Chill it in the refrigerator and open the bottle! Oh, you can feel a slight shwash and a refreshing sweetness (Kikusui Funakuchi Ichiban Shibori has a mellow sweetness). It's delicious. When the temperature settles down a little, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a repeat purchase. I hope they sell it in Kansai too!

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

At the usual BAR (4) This will be my first time at this brewery too✨ The master recommended this fruity sake as it is my favorite 😊. The top aroma is fruity and fruity: ☺️ The aroma is a beautiful apple-like ginjo aroma with a clean sweetness, low umami and acidity, and almost no gassiness. I searched online to review the taste and couldn't find this sake, is it a limited edition? I should have asked for more details from the master 😓.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

I have never seen this label before. It is a bit old and peculiar, but overall it is a delicious sake.

Miyamanishiki. The sweetness of the flavor is refreshing. The aftertaste is cohesive.

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.

Japanese>English

Sweetness spreads in the mouth. It also has an alcoholic taste. It is a versatile sake that goes well with any snack rather than a unique sake. It is a beautiful sake with clean water. As the day goes by, the alcohol feeling settles down and the umami taste comes out.

A local sake from Futtsu, Chiba... A faint fruity aroma... A sweet bitterness with a strong bitterness typical of local sake! The flavor of the rice soaks in... The bitterness is followed by a sharpness! It's a good sake to drink while eating.... It's similar to Kotobuki Mangame from Chiba. It's a drink to be enjoyed in small quantities. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Chiba Prefecture Antenna Shop, which was open for a limited time at Hankyu Umeda Station. I had drunk Seisen from the same brewery in the past and was not fond of hiyaoroshi, but I was impressed with it. The first aroma was already gorgeous. It is sweet and a little tangy on the palate. The second half is a little spicy. It was more delicious than I had imagined. Overall, I'd say it's fruity and dry.

Japanese>English

The deliciousness of Yamada Nishiki was in full bloom! It was so gorgeous and so delicious! It had the flavor and sweetness of rice, but was also crisp and spicy! The label was stylish with a green bamboo pattern 🥰. It is said to be a sake competition2025 Bronze Award winning sake!

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Purchased at a sake brewery Acidic, tangy and dry in the distance Spiciness increases as the temperature rises. Very heavy and drinkable From the President Shake it before drinking. It wakes up the sleeping yeast and makes it tingle. Please drink it while chilling. Label description: "Pressed carefully without pressurization, leaving natural residues. It has a gentle aroma of banana and grapes. A special cup created by the slightest hint of residues when you touch the bottle."

Japanese>English

Refreshing minty scent 🌿. Light and refreshing🎵 Sour and slightly sweet 😋. Lingering bitterness comes later 😋⚡️ Mild when warmed 😃. Sourness becomes more pronounced: 👍️ The second half of the bottle disappears at once 😲.

A short trip to Boso during summer vacation. We stopped by Inahana Sake Brewery, a small sake brewery in Chonan Town. I asked, "Is there any sake that can only be bought here?" The brewer recommended this one, They recommended this one. 🌸 Junmai Ginjo Minnezakura Unfiltered Nama Zume Genshu 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Chonan-cho, Chiba Prefecture Yeast: K1401 Alcohol content: 17%. The cherry blossoms in Nomine Park in Chonan-cho were used for the name and label. The aroma is full and slightly melon-like. The mouthfeel is slightly sharp, with a balanced mid-palate that is more umami, The aftertaste is mainly dry and slightly astringent, with a lingering impression. 🏕️ With seafood BBQ at a glamping event... It was a perfect match with scallops and turban shells from Kujukuri! Sake that can only be found in a travel destination and air that can only be experienced in a travel destination. I realized that this is the true pleasure of "local sake and local snacks". Preference score: 7.5/10 Aroma: 1.5｜Mouthfeel: 1.0｜Medium: 1.5｜Final taste: 1.5｜Price: 2.0 👩‍🦰 Wife: 7/10 "I don't remember, but I think this is about right.

We will have next year's zodiac first. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not so strong. It is fruity, but it is not sweet enough to be tasty. I think it's a bit sweet. I didn't feel any chili. I did not feel the chili, I wonder how insensitive I am, I can't pick up any of the contents of the manual 😢. I didn't pick up on any of the contents of the manual 😢.
