It tastes like a white wine. The balance of sweetness and firm acidity is exquisite. It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 14 degrees. It is a sake to be careful not to drink too much.

The best way to do this is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a little rich series of Tenmei. It's a good one. It is a very good product.

Strong rice flavor. The aroma is unique to sake with alcohol, The aroma is gorgeous, as expected of a sake entered in a sake competition. It is easy to cut through and has an excellent mouthfeel. The alcohol content is high at 17°C.

Japanese>English

First brand. Purchased at Kadoya Sake Shop in Osaka. The first impression was "deliciously spicy. It gives the impression of being similar to Nabeshima, but without the gasiness. It has a very careful taste, and it makes you feel relaxed 😙.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop online. The 500ml bottle of this sake costs about the same as a 1.5 liter bottle, but that's why it's so tasty! I always drink it with a sense of anticipation. Alcohol content 17%. Rice polishing ratio 40%. The first saké has a firm, slightly dry taste. The balance is very good. It is not at all fruity like apples, grapes, pineapple, etc., which are common. It is not gorgeous, but as a food sake, it is a sake that goes well with food and makes you say "delicious". One more sip. As you take another sip and another sip, before you know it, it's gone. It was very delicious! (^O^)

Sagaminada...and my favorite Omachi...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness! It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: .... I'm having a little bit of it...

Japanese>English

Fruity aroma of Omachi...sweet aroma...mouthfeel...ummmm Omachi's sweet rice flavor...nothing to say! Delicious... Sagaminada! It's great on its own... but it goes great with fish... and I'm having it with grilled barracuda... and sipping on it...

Japanese>English

It goes well with fish and seafood... I'm having it with bonito sashimi, bonito tataki, boiled skin, and today, sashimi of mehikari that I got during my expedition to Iwaki, Fukushima... I'm having it with small bites...! Aroma: Slightly smells like seme, yes, Sagaminada...strong bitterness, sweet bitterness! Then it's sharp!

At home. Sake tasting party with friends after a long time. We brought our own sake. First up was a local sake from Echigo-Yuzawa, a gem bearing the name of the first head of the Shirataki Sake Brewery. The aroma is gorgeous, and in the mouth you can taste the acidity and umami, with a slight lingering alcohol taste. It leaves a slightly bitter or rough feeling in the back of the throat. The Shirotaki Shuzo is known for its Kouzen Nyosui, which has a fuller aroma and taste compared to the Kouzen Nyosui. The bottle was also unusual, with an innovative volume of 630 ml. This is the first brand I've seen and the taste is great. ‼️

Japanese>English

Shirotaki sake from Echigo-Yuzawa's "Shirotaki" and "Kamizen Josui" breweries. Minatoya Tousuke is the name of the founder. It has been quite a while. Junmai Daiginjo with 50% polishing. It has a peachy, elegant aroma and a smooth mouthfeel👍.

Japanese>English

It's like a neat ✨ drink 😉.

The mild flavor of the rice It has a gentle cutting feeling. Yamada Nishiki with 65% rice polishing ratio. The alcohol content is 17%. The punching power there.

Japanese>English

I got this at a local liquor store when I traveled to Nagasaki. It's a refreshing sake with no peculiarities and I never get tired of drinking it. I got drunk lol.

Japanese>English

Today is a holiday. But I went to work. On the way home, I found a four-character phrase I wanted to try, Nagasaki Prefecture's...four-character phrase? I found a four-letter phrase, "sixty-you-you-shu" in Nagasaki Prefecture, which I had wanted to try! Is the Kanto region the same as Nagasaki Prefecture? (I don't know what the weather is like there.) I decided to drink it right away. It's a heavy fruity wine. Is it the fruity rice flavor? And even though it is a draft sake, it doesn't have a sharp taste, but rather a calm taste. I like this kind of taste. Nagasaki Prefecture has a lot of sake that I like!

I'm sure this one is a must...it's been a while, but it's still delicious....

A refreshing, thirst-quenching summer-only sake. In addition to the fruity sweetness The aroma is more gorgeous and The sharpness is also refreshing. The price is reasonable, but But when you can drink Jyushiro at home The price is reasonable, but drinking Jyushiyo at home makes it even more special.

It has a sweet rice aroma rather than a fruity one. Unlike the popular sake of today, it has a strong bitter sweet taste...mellow umami taste...you can feel the flavor of the rice...it's a Junmai with a strong presence...it's like a sake for the sake connoisseur.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had business in Toyama, so I bought it at Liquor Pocket Mizuhata by the way. It's a great way to start the day. I had it after a long time, but it is still good.
