This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

It is a souvenir of Kusatsu from his father. It was a refreshing, slightly spicy sake with a hint of sweetness. I think it can be served warmed.

Japanese>English

It has a samurai-like design and a blood splattering color, and it has a sake level of +15! I couldn't help but be curious about this one, so I bought it! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was dry. It also has a savory aroma like steamed rice. The dry, light flavor and the richness of Junmai are well balanced on the palate, giving it a slippery sensation. The acidity also makes it taste slightly citrus-like 🍊. It smells like ginjo, and in a good way, it is not like Junmai! The aftertaste is also refreshing and easy to drink from start to finish👍. I thought it would be a simple dry sake, but it was surprisingly fruity and refreshingly delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a refreshing green apple-like flavor and fades quickly. As the day goes by, the flavor also develops and becomes more savory.

Outside drinking. Ordered by the impact of the name. When poured, it smells moist and sweet. The taste is as expected (?). The sweetness is strong. When tasted, it has the flavor of rice. There is a slight astringency in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is clean, with a watery sensation and a nice clean finish. There is a distinctive sweet aroma. It is a mellow, sweet sake, and you can sense the careful craftsmanship. Later I looked it up and found the word "Toyobai" 😳. I didn't realize it was so 😚.

Junmai Nama Sake🍶Mohawk Nama Musume✨Toyobai Rice🌾. Sweet and refreshing ✨Orange juice? 🍊 Maybe a flat plate would be easier to drink than a glass 🤔 as the sweetness would be diluted. Pair it with sweet and spicy peppers and it's refreshing, gobble it up. It's a raw sake version of Mohawk Girl, so it's Mohawk Raw Girl 😅 Umi to @ Takadanobaba 20230913

This sake was awarded as a prize on Sake Day. A refreshingly dry sake with a rich, umami (deliciously spicy) flavor. Perfect with fish dishes.

It's been a while since I bought sake at the Aomori Iwate Antenna Shop. It says it's nigori sake, but it's not cloudy at all😅. It's very clear and quite crisp. I got the impression that it's a pretty dry sake, but there's also a little sweetness. I can see a little bit of off-flavor...

A great recommendation from a liquor store in Aizu. This deliciousness, strike ❗️❗️❗️

Japanese>English

This is also a Sota's Hump Society exclusive🍶. Nice to meet you also Kita no Hana. The aroma is sweet with a hint of richness. In the mouth, it has a rich, dark, sweet flavor that is typical of nama sake, and then it finishes with a slight astringent taste. The richness and astringency of Yamadanishiki was delicious✨.

Japanese>English

First brand name Kita no Hana. It is a backroom deal with a sake teacher. Even if I say it is a backroom deal, he will sell me any rare sake at the same price I bought it from the liquor store, and even if I tell him I will take care of the transportation costs, he stubbornly refuses to accept it. I told them that if I sold them at a higher price, the liquor store would take me on as a reseller, and after that, they would never sell me rare sake. The fact that you can normally drink Jyushiyo at home is based on the mutual trust between the seller and the buyer. Kita no Hana, the label is very attractive. I don't detect much of the Kamitatekoso, but there is a round, unfamiliar aroma in the back of the bottle. The mouthfeel is moist, calm, and elegant with sweetness and soft umami, and the rounded aroma in the aftertaste is fruity. The acidity and bitterness are both moderate, and it has a mysterious sharpness that just flutters and closes. It is really a round, gentle and mysterious sake, and this must be one of its balances. Thank you very much for the sake!

Shibuya with customers (1) Yesterday, a drinking party for a group of four with occasional customers. A rather nice restaurant on the edge of Shibuya. A little nice restaurant on the outskirts of Shibuya. The first sake was a request from one of the other guests, Niida Shizen-shu, which none of us had ever had before. (I've had it a few times myself 😆). But the "Tamura" that came out was the first time I had ever had it! 😘. It's like a natural sake, dark and strong. Sweet, tasty, sour all there 😋. But not as sweet as regular natural sake? First dish, hand-rolled seared conger eel and shijimi clam soup!

It was delicious and matched well with the fried sasakama isobe!

Jyuemon" by Toshimaya Shuzo, well-known for Yamori... it's a stone's throw away! Nakadori unfiltered raw sake, fresh and crisp... Hachitan-nishiki has a nice aroma... my favorite fruity flavor... and the mouthfeel... a good bitterness of sweetness and bitterness, followed by the sharpness of Hachitan-nishiki! It does not disappoint! I'm sure many people prefer this to Yamoru... I'm sipping it while grilling oysters... yummy!

Japanese>English

Another brand of YAMAMORI Purchased at a supermarket near my house. It is a Hachitan-Nishiki, a specialty of Teshimaya, and the taste is almost the same as Yamori's. The aroma is fruity and melon-like. The base is sweet and delicious, but after drinking it, it may seem drier than Yamori's Hachitan-nishiki. Umai 👍👍 The best match this time was sauteed sea bream with butter. It goes better with something with a strong flavor 😋😋. Yamori is my favorite brand, but I think I even like this one more than Yamori❗❗❗ Next time I buy it, I'd like to open the bottle at the same time as YAMORI and compare them properly 😆😆.

Always at the store, always feeling Clean and swishy. It was delicious!

Sweet aroma. Fresh and sweeter than expected. Unique sweetness like candy. Unique but interesting and delicious. The sweetness is like a floppy candy. More fruity than I expected, too. I think the Asahi Nikki Jusui Brewing I drank in the past also had a unique sweetness.

Japanese>English

Sakemonogatari in Kansai(*) It is a hiyaoroshi of honjozo with a slightly sweet taste and a sense of grain! It is well balanced, probably because it is a honjozo. I would definitely like to drink it with an appetizer! This year, we are only participating in outdoor events because we are still afraid of the new koro, but I think it is very nice to drink under the blue sky!

Omachi rice + Hakuto yeast used Junmai sake produced by the TAKEO 20 Project, a collaboration of agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students, using specially cultivated Omachi rice from Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City. The label looks modern! This one is definitely fruity 😆. Fruity sweet and sour Light and easy to drink Hiruzen style yakisoba noodles and umaumaumauma 🐎. I bought a lot of kamaboko at Sakaiminato because they are easy to carry and store 🐟. The crab has a very interesting shape and I can't stop smiling just looking at it 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀. I found out about it thanks to the Kenmin Show program 😁.

ISHICHI Junmai Ginjo Asahimai Made with water from the headwaters of the Takahashi River Unfiltered unpasteurized sake Price: 1,345 yen (tax included) October 06, 2022 Purchased at Tenmanya Kurashiki I bought this bottle on a business trip to Okayama. This is my first bottle of "Ishichi" Asahi rice, one of the brands that got me into the sake swamp. It has a nutty, savory, full-bodied flavor with a strong impression of rice sweetness rather than a fruity sweetness 🤤. I knew it! Great cosmetics too 😆.
