7 points (Wife 7.5) Rice : Ehime Shizuku Ehime Rice polishing ratio : 60 Sake Degree : ±0 Purchased from: Mizuguchi Shuzo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture Silent when opened, no gassiness Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of rice flavor. The same mild aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. Overall, it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is good for accompanying a meal, but it may be too smooth as a stand-alone sake. The taste may have changed since the one I bought from a brewery in Ehime this time last year came out of the fridge. It went well with spicy grilled minos and Umaibo shrimp mayonnaise flavor.

I bought it by weight the day after the Hankai Train Off-line Meeting. I took this opportunity to buy it because Miyakotsuru's draft sake is rarely distributed. This is an annex of a store in Fushimi that sells all of Fushimi's sake in Nihonbashi, Osaka. I wonder if the sake brewers' association is involved? The bottles come in various sizes and labels, and you buy the bottle you want and pour it. You pour the sake yourself, but since I was right on the 300 ml mark, I received a sake cup as a "Pitari" prize. The taste is melon-like with a clean mouthfeel. The long, thin and extended acidity is impressive. It is a little light and has a sweet and spicy flavor. After about a week, the flavor seems to have opened up, or rather, the flavor profile has become more defined.

Go-around Rokkomichi 1/5 It was my first time to participate in a go-around! I was excited and thrilled from the morning. I couldn't work today... lol. It was like a field trip for adults. I visited 5 stores in the Rokko-michi area in Kobe! First of all, here is the shaken sake. As I stood nervously at the counter, my neighbor spoke to me. He said, "How many restaurants have you been to?" I said, "This is the first one. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is my first time drinking Miyakotsuru. It is very dry. It is light. I asked for breast meat with kombu-jime egg yolk and chicken skin with wasabi and soy sauce. I thought it was a little strong. But it goes well with sake! This time, the theme for me was "matching the dish". I'm on the train now on my way home. Because I have to work NOW tomorrow.... I'll be posting more soon.......!

A sake that is easy to drink. It has a refreshing taste of rice, and is suitable for a mealtime drink.

Japanese>English

At the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. It is made from Yumesasara. The sake is fresh like a fresh sake. It is delicious with a fruity sweetness that is not too sweet.

Japanese>English

Buy at Asahikawa Marushin Shoten The rice used is Yumesasara from Tochigi prefecture. It is a low alcohol type, but it has a moderate sweetness, and as expected from an unpasteurized sake, it has a crisp taste. The acidity is also a bit like white wine, so it can be used with western food. It is an all-round food sake. It is the first time to drink Sawahime, so it is difficult to evaluate only this one, but it is an interesting brewery!

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

A bottle that shows the quintessence of Yamae Nishiki. It has a rich umami and strong bitter acidity. Rather dry taste. Impressive freshness and richness even though it's a draft ✨. Not too high at 15.5, You can fully enjoy the original sake character 😋.

Japanese>English

This is your first issue. What is this? It has all the good points of Shinshu sake. It has a gentle sweetness, but at the same time it is refreshing. The evaluation was divided as to whether it was dry or sweet. I thought it was sweet. I felt the high level of Shinshu.

Rice polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 16%. Rice used: Asahi no Yume (produced in Minokamo City) Gifu Kyukura is a joint brand name created through a collaboration of sake breweries in Gifu. Opening the bottle Sweet aroma of cool rice. There is also an impression of ramune. Sip it Unlike the image of the aroma No sweetness at all, but a hard bitterness spreads in the mouth Continue drinking The mouth feel is light and watery. It goes down smoothly without any alcohol taste. Dry but with a lingering umami taste on the tongue. Good balance of bitterness and umami Drink it with dinner and Nukatsugi. The dry taste refreshes the sweet and spicy taste of miso and the umami of the rice can be felt even more. It goes very well with strong flavored meals. Delicious! Serve with Japanese food

This is a limited edition junmai sake that has been selected from storage tanks that have been allowed to mature over a summer in a sake tasting called "nemikiri (drinking through)" to preserve its flavor in the bottle. The brewery's message is that they want their sake to be enjoyed with the flavors of autumn and winter. It is a seasonal sake brewed by Miyai-Sakura.

Junmai Ahusu Nama Genshu "acid high" limited edition‼️. What kind of brewing method is it? 🤔 Very sour and unique tasting sake 😳. I'm being cheeky not knowing the normal afs, but it was a stylish sake, more overly yellow in colour than other afs❣️.

I was going to get him to buy this ice breaker a year ago, but he didn't buy it before it was released. This year I was able to get one, so I opened it right away. It's thicker, perhaps because I put ice in it to drink it. And it's sweet. It's the first sake I've had in a long time, so it's delicious. The label is cute because I like penguins

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

This is a Sankan Omachi Junmai Hiiri. I tried it at various temperatures, and it was best served hot.
