I enjoyed the cool sour taste. The aroma is a refreshing "rice"🌾 At first sip, it has more punch than I expected but it is pleasant. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sharpness is delicious✨. The light nigori also makes you feel cooler It makes me feel more cool Tomoka Imamura, the female toji of Wakaha Shuzo tweeted that she paired it with cheese. I also paired it with Kili's cream cheese. I can't wait to try it out! I also want to drink Wakanami TYPE-FY2 I want to drink it.

Japanese>English

I bought this Akatombo at Kado-Yasan in October. I kept it in a safe place, but I opened a bottle today. It's really good! It's sweet all the time while rolling it around in your mouth, but when you finish it, the sourness stands out and you can feel some bitterness at the end. It's a taste I like.

Japanese>English

This this this! Banana🍌 aroma 😆 My favorite Wakanami's sake smells like bananas! Yummai! Mildness like hiyaoroshi! It tastes like banana🍌 and grape🍇 ! No bitter aftertaste, so it's a little bit sad 😂.

At home. Hatsutanaka Rokuugo. A famous sake, but I didn't know much about it... Yamada-Nishiki, it's a tanaka in the middle of a rice field. I knew it for the first time. The aroma is fruity (Muscat type?). Good balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness. It is a quintessential gem, suitable to be enjoyed in a relaxed and leisurely manner.

Japanese>English

(人 -͈ᴗ-͈)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I had my first Tanaka Rokuugo 😀 The aroma is fresh and gentle, like grapes 😙 When you drink it, the subtle umami of rice and acidity are well balanced and it goes down a treat. It is a good sake for a meal 🤔This is a delicious sake 😄.

Japanese>English

Junmai-shu, 65% polished rice, brewed by Mr. Tanaka in a sake brewery located in the rice paddies. Tanaka Rokuugo. I knew it was delicious from everyone's postings on Sake no Wa 😊. I thought it would be more of a gusto, but it was a delicious sake with a gentle rice flavor and a light texture♪ Kyushu has an image of shochu, but I was surprised at the high level of sake as well, including Tanaka Rokuugo, Koei Kiku, and Sundo 😆. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other sake I have in stock 😁.

Low sweetness. It is juicy and has a strong flavor and richness, and I think it goes well with dark meals. As the temperature rises, the sweetness comes out, and it is very tasty with a typical autumnal flavor.

😊. I had some of the sake that was sent to the owner of the inn. It was my first time to try Kurosawa rice Yamada Nishiki. It has a delicious acidity that makes it easy to drink, so I was happy to have some of it. I think I may have drunk too much 💦.

Japanese>English

This is the sake we received. It has a sake degree of -7.0 and an acidity of 1.5. It has a sweet taste with a sour aftertaste and a refreshing finish. It was delicious.

This is a gift from a sake professional, a local sake from Nanada's place. It is quite precious as it is the first pressing... 🙏. The aroma is juicy fruity and red apple-like. The mouthfeel is supposed to be fresh, but it also has a mellow, umami-like sweetness that spreads out and is very drinkable 👌👌. As a lover of the four seasons, I quite like this type. ☺️ I've heard it tastes great warmed up, so I'm going to enjoy it 😋.

Japanese>English

The eighth one is a storehouse of rocks. This is the first time for Iwanokura itself. I guess I don't even remember seeing it in a liquor store. From the name and the image on the label, I somehow imagined it to be light and dry, but when I tried it, it was completely different. It has a sweet flavor from the fruity Kamitatekko, and although it is more reserved in terms of flavor intensity than the previous brew, I didn't feel anything lacking. On the contrary, it has a nice umami taste that comes slowly but surely afterwards! The cut is also very smooth, so it is like a gentle sweet and tasty taste. It's delicious! Finally, the next is the last! Thank you for the food!

Japanese>English

Modest ginjo aroma, pear-like flavor? A little spiciness afterward is also nice. As the temperature rises, the graininess comes out. It is better when it is cold,

Tosa Rei Shiboritate. I drink this every year. This is also a familiar sake that I drink every year. It has a fruity aroma It has a fruity aroma and a sweet taste like white peaches. It is a little sweeter than the first bottle, Sushasen Eiko, but The bitter taste on the back of the palate is very tight, as one would expect from Tosa sake. It has a bitter aftertaste. I enjoyed it with simmered peeled fish and boiled eggs. I enjoyed it with simmered peelings, boiled eggs, and other dishes.

It is very fruity because of the use of CEL-24. However, it is not as sweet as Kameizumi, Toyonoubai, or Kaygetsu. It is sweet and bitter. The other one I haven't tried is Bikuyo's CEL-24. I think it's a little bit sweet and bitter like Shibotan's CEL.

Another beautiful bottle this year. I was able to obtain it. The blue gradation is wonderful! I think last year it was the color of wild cherry. The taste is soft and gentle. Delicious! It didn't have the piquancy of a fresh sake. Like?

Japanese>English

It is quite pungent, and the acidity creates a bit of sweetness. I think it is a crisp sake.

Japanese>English

It has a soft freshness. Creamy aroma, like vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite silky, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. There is a hint of citrus. Mild, but with a bitter and spicy aftertaste. Rather than drinking it by itself, it is very suitable for drinking with food. A bit alcoholic for me😅. I'd like to give it some time and see how it changes.

Banana, green apple, slightly liquor-like fresh smell. Banana-like freshness, with a banana-like feeling extending into the palate. Sourness is robust and tasty, with a hint of bitterness. Delicious. Good sharpness. Sake even in summer!

Japanese>English

The brewery is famous for "Sharaku". I drank it with "Sharaku" in mind. This one has a sharper, sharper edge. The melon aroma is elegant and subtle. It is more suitable as a food sake.

(I'm so happy to be a part of the Polish community. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had a bottle of Miyazumi's Fukunoka 😀. Right after opening the bottle, it has a fruity aroma. It's a gorgeous sake with an intense muscat taste and aroma when you drink it. It was delicious😙!
