It has a mild sweetness. It's not too sweet, but it's not too strong. But it's 18% so you'll get drunk 😜.

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.

甘くてヨーグルト風味。酸味と甘味が絶妙なバランスで楽しめる。軽やかな甘さでスイスイ飲めてしまう。

Have you all entered GW? I am starting tomorrow. Well, the father of the liquor store recommended this Yuto. It is a spring sake, but the label is not pink or something spring-like, but for some reason, it has a full moon. My own guess is that it comes from the haiku term "Haru-Manzuki," which means "full moon in spring. But it still looks like a hiyaoroshi. Lactic acidity from the top-tasting aroma. The mouthfeel is silky and light sweetness from the tangy gasiness, and the umami is jiggly. The aftertaste is full of lactic acidity, and the closing acidity and bitterness are robust. I thought it was a bit of a rush at the back of my throat, but it was only 17%. It is light, so you don't feel it too much, but it is quite heavy. If you don't think about the order in which you drink it, it might wipe out the taste of the next sake. Thank you very much for the drink!

Tasted at the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. The one on the right side of the photo. The rice is Gohyakumangoku. The description says it is dry, but it does not feel as dry as it says, and it has a nice sharpness. It seems to be good with food.

Sake received at the Sake World Summit. This sake is brewed with Ginbukiyo sake produced in Shiga Prefecture. The acidity and umami of the sake are well intertwined with each other. It was a delicious sake. It is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink. My wine-loving friend who accompanied me also accepted the taste of this sake made from the sake's "nama-hashiroshi" (sake brewed from the same yeast as the original yeast).

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉔ Ichihoro is the first sake I've had in three years. I have a strong impression of light nigori raw sake. I drank Junmai light nigori nama-zake (raw sake) Impressive acidity and drinkability typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast 🤔. Junmai light nigori nama sake I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever. I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.

Japanese>English

Purchased 👀 at Sazanami Sake Shop in front of the station during a day trip to Hikone. Beautiful, corner space and friendly staff. It was a nice store 😙. Since I was there, I chose Kazuhiro, a sake I had never had before from Shiga. It was full, slightly sweet, had a delicious rice flavor, and was very drinkable 😋. Paired with sweet ayu fish from Lake Biwa, it was delicious. ❤️ It is indeed a sake from Shiga, a rice-producing region 😇

I bought it because I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time! This is the third time I've had it, so I'll spare you my impressions. It has a light, light flavor with a yogurt or yoghurt-like feel, with hints of mushrooms and maltiness. It's perfect with hamburgers and a reset ✨. I found a regular "Kunimori Nigori Shu" on sale, so maybe I'll buy it next time!

Japanese>English

I bought it again because I drank it before and enjoyed the yogurina feel! I just drank it a month ago so I will spare you my impressions 🫡. It is also interesting to note that the lighter the stirring is, the more lactic acid drink-like it becomes as it goes to the bottom, and the more it feels like yoghurina at the beginning and calpis or yakult at the end!

Extra Party with Mr. Gura After the first party was over and the commemorative photo had been taken, we had a chance to drink the sake that Yum- san got at Hasegawa Sake Shop when he went to Edo (Tokyo). Sorry for those who went home early 🙏. Fresh and tender 😋! Thick and fresh 😻 I hope there will be another sake brewery in Osaka station 🤗. I heard they can only make fresh sake because they can't use fire due to fire laws because it's inside the station.

Thank you for coming! Off-line meeting of Kansai Sakewa In front of the restaurant, right after the meeting with Mr. ☆Gra After the group photo was taken, we were talking in front of the store, and Uma Uma Uma-san served us some Tokyo souvenirs 😆. Tokyo Station Sake Brewery Peach Doburoku! A very rich peach with a smooth taste. The peach flavor is so strong that it doesn't feel like doburoku at all 🤣. It was very tasty 🙏. Hasegawa Sake Brewery is brewing at Tokyo Station...they are doing a great thing with their brewery at echinakas (echinakas) 😳.

Japanese>English

Souvenir It took a while to open the bottle, but we managed to drink it during the meal. I was able to drink it during the meal. Easy to drink with no strange bitterness in the aftertaste. The taste is smooth and the fizz makes it It has a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. I drank 300ml in no time!

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

Japanese>English

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

Japanese>English

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

Today's work was hard because I had to work alone all day 😵💫 Tomorrow is still work! On days like this, let's drink some nigori sake which represents Nara. Let's start with the top-finish. The sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewer spreads out and you can't help but sigh 😚 When it gets cloudy, you can enjoy the flavor of the rice and the tingling dryness together☺️. It was a good stimulus for my tongue, which has been used to sweet sake lately. This may be the best Nara sake to pair with Kakinoha Sushi👍.

Japanese>English

Cloudy but lightly pungent. The umami from deep inside is the base.

Purchased with Ayagiku at Okura Sake Shop. It has a gentle sweetness and is refreshing. The acidity gives the impression of a tightening effect. I heard that they also have a draft sake, so I would like to try it. I wonder if I can buy all the sake introduced in dancyu.

Japanese>English

Hana-Shume," a sake from a revived brewery in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture, which was featured on Tokoro-san's "Laughing at You" last fall. We were lucky enough to get an assortment set (❓trial set) of 3 sake for souvenirs, so we compared them! Here is the next one! Hanashoumi Special Junmai (orange label) The aroma is also slightly citrus 🍊. On the palate, the four tastes of sweetness, umami, bitterness and acidity are beautifully balanced. This can be served as a food sake 👍.

Japanese>English

First brand I've ever had! Lovely name🌸. Aroma is clean, yet gorgeous! Good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity... firm but with a clean aftertaste! Another great sake I've found😊.

After work...last year, I went to a brewery and bought some local Saitama sake🍶I enjoyed it the last time I drank it, so this time, it's Junmai♪ I can feel the delicious taste of rice from Sake Musashi♪ It has a nice sharp after taste! The aroma is citrusy? The aroma is citrusy? Since it is an unfiltered sake, it is slightly cloudy and thickened...yet it has a clear image. It is a sake to watch out for in the future.

Japanese>English

The sweet and sour taste like green apples and the umami taste typical of nama sake coexist in good balance.
