I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁‍♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Japanese>English

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.

(*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No.6 I bought this Reijin at a local supermarket 😀. The aroma is subtle and mild😊The taste is slightly sweet on the palate with a strong rice flavor 😚👍This is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own 🥳.

Japanese>English

First time drinking out in a while We started with Reijin 😆. It's called "Reijin Dry Goku" and it's as light and dry as you'd expect 🤗. As a lover of sweet and savory, I don't usually drink it, but it was perfect with the grilled meat I paired it with 🥰.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. I had been curious about Reijin for a while, so I tasted it with the intention of buying it, but I couldn't find anything that stuck out to me so I didn't buy it. It was fresh and fruity, but it tasted like a common taste.... I would like to try it if there are other specs. The brewer was also very reluctant.

This was my first time to drink Kagoshima sake. I thought it might be too strong, but it was easy to enjoy.

Japanese>English

This is one of the bottles that was sold in a set with Tobiroki at Hasegawa sake shop, it was made in October 2020, so I guess they used Tobiroki to clear this stock 😅. I'm not a big fan of the Satsuma Masamune, but I'm not a big fan of the Tobiroki either. I was a bit worried because it's a raw stored sake, almost a year after production, but there were no quality issues 😄. Rather, I didn't feel the peculiarity that I felt when I drank Junmai Ginjo before, and it tastes better than that time 🌟. It has a slight sweetness, a strong alcohol feeling and a spiciness that comes down the throat, not very distinctive but enough for everyday drinking. Cold sake is the best 😚

Japanese>English

Warmed. The acidity is strong and wraps around the umami.

The local sky is about to cry 😭I entrusted the Milky Way to Yoru no Teio 😊. When you pour it into your cup, it's amber like a mass of flavor 💛When you drink it, it's still a great flavor 😚👍The aftertaste is very sharp, and it makes your drink go down 😘. Wish on a strip of paper 🌟🙏🙏. I wish for good health and lots of delicious sake💕. I hope so 🥳.

This is it for tonight❗️ I️ will be the king of the night! I'm enjoying it like I'm the king of the night 🎵 Sake-like and slightly sour taste makes it easy to drink 🎵 Oishii🍶❕. I'm enjoying it very much.

The fifth glass was to your first Imperial 👑. The aroma is light and fruity, like peaches. The palate is smooth, with a well-balanced taste of sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent. The taste is balanced between sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent. The clean quality of the sake allows it to be enjoyed quickly and without habit!

Purchased at a supermarket in Karuizawa. I did not expect much...but I experienced the power of Nagano sake🍶...aroma: a faint sweet aroma of rice, a clear sweet bitterness...the bitterness is just right and does not bother me...it is delicious😋...but it is also delicious😋 when drunk as is... ...but it really comes into its own as a food sake! It's a very beautiful sake that doesn't interfere with food 🍶♪ I'm sipping it with a side dish of inada I caught in Sagami Bay 😋♪ This is delicious 😋♪....

Firm taste and well-balanced bitterness. Well-balanced bitterness. It has a punch, but is aromatic and easy to drink.

September 12, 2021 Dinner at home. I got this yazu from my friend yesterday. Today, I'm going to taste it as nigiri. The sake is Kawakame, a local sake from Hachimanohama. Kawakame. It is light and dry, and goes well with fish. 300ml is not enough for me, but But since I drank it two days in a row I'll leave it at that...(´ω・；)

Japanese>English

The last bottle caught my eye and my attention, so I bought it! It's a blend of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo blame. Exciting just to hear about it😊. And it's reasonable! On the day of opening the bottle, it had a neutral impression. Rather than the Tainai-san type that washes down as a food sake. I thought it was the type to stay close to you. From the second day onwards, the flavors come together and the sharpness from the sweetness is noticeable. It was delicious even when drunk on its own.

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time. I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The label is very cool. The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations. The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔. I opened it for 2 days and drank it.... It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳. This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up. It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

Japanese>English

6/10 Nakashimaya has been a bit popular lately. Kanenaka is a series of sake breweries that use the traditional sake yeast, and this ultra-harsh sake won a gold medal at a French sake competition. The sake has a sourness and complexity typical of a nama-shoto sake, and it has a sharpness to it. The transition from umami to bitterness is pleasant.

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!

Japanese>English

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.

Birthday gift sake No. 3 Speaking of comets, Ricaman is a liquor that I don't get a chance to drink very often because I don't go to Ricaman. It has a mild top-fragrance aroma. It is gorgeous and refreshingly sweet on the palate. It is a versatile type of sake that can be enjoyed with food or on its own. For better or worse, it is an excellent Daiginjo. I think it tastes more open and sweeter on the second day than when it is freshly opened. The design of the sake lid looks just like the one from a while ago😅.

Japanese>English

Today I chose sushi, sashimi and comet in the aftermath of yesterday's birthday, and since my son and wife went to bed, I had a luxurious dinner by myself😘. The comet I bought for comparison last time was so good that I bought two bottles for comparison this time too 🤣👍. Tomorrow I'm going to go to Gifu and buy Yamamoto Do, which I've longed for. ‼️ I've been looking for it for about three years now, but when I find a store that carries it, it's always sold out, so I'll make sure to get it this year 🥺. So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with almost no bitterness or acidity.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild, but the taste is clean, sweet, and sharp. It went down smoothly and easily.
