It has a clean mouthfeel, but the umami flavor comes after 😊. The label makes me want to go to a flower garden😊.

😊. 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.

First time to drink Hokkaido sake outside 😭. And that's Kamikawa Taisetsu, I'm so impressed❗️. I've been to Hokkaido for a while now and I've never been to Hokkaido before. I want to go to Hokkaido in a while😍.

Japanese>English

Citrusy acidity with white malted rice. Light sweetness like white wine. It has a refreshing aftertaste. It is easy to pair with meals, especially fish. Sake rice is Ginpu from Hokkaido, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The alcohol content is a little light at 14 degrees Celsius.

Japanese>English

It is the first Kamikawa Taisetsu. I was attracted by the white koji and bought it. The aroma is of citrus and lactic acid, with some caramel. In the aftertaste, there is a touch of vinegar. So, of course, the sourness is dominant. There is also sweetness, but it is characterized by a sharp acidity. The aftertaste is also sour. The umami is mixed in there. Rather than being crisp, it is a very drinkable sake. It is surprising that it is low alcohol and white malt. It can be fully enjoyed alone.

The taste is rich but light on the palate. It is even softer when heated. It has a moderate aromatic richness and a little bit of spiciness. It has a good balance and can be served with a wide range of food. It is a limited edition sake, but it has a standard taste. Mr. Ota lives in Kamakura. I was there just two and a half months ago, so I missed it a lot! Once again, Kamakura is a wonderful place! The restaurants that were introduced to us were all very unique and the food looked delicious!

Japanese>English

I bought this Wakaba unfiltered sake in the summer and felt it was still young, so I let it sleep in the closet. It has a good balance of flavor, with the punch of unfiltered sake, but without losing the simple country feel of Wakaba. I put it in the closet again, but it was good enough. It's not Wakaba, but Higuchi Shinyo, a triple axel that is anything but rustic! The ROC is still very difficult, but I hope the Japanese will do their best to get on the podium!

Japanese>English

(The regular product has a ripeness, but this one is relatively refined. It looks light but has a solid core, and there is still a sense of ripeness in the back. It shows its full potential when heated. The richness comes out well. When it cools down, the sweetness comes out well. I bought it from a sake brewer, and when I asked for sakekasu, they gave me a lot of it! Maybe it's because I buy from the sake brewer sometimes. It is very delicious when it is baked!

Smells of powdered milk, flowers. Slightly effervescent. The junmai I drank before was so good that it was a repeat purchase, and it lived up to my expectations. It is well-balanced and when you notice it, you can drink it all at once with a slurp. It has a floral, not too sweet, pungent, well-balanced flavor, and a satisfying umami and a sourness that is very satisfying. The 4th day. It has lost some of its flavor and can be drunk without hesitation.

Japanese>English

Fruity and delicate sweetness. Famous for its potato shochu, "Treasure Mountain, The brewery's sake challenge. It was surprisingly legitimate.

Japanese>English

This is the much talked about "Tensho"... a faintly fruity aroma... the taste is sweet and comes in nicely... the aftertaste is nice and sour and crisp... delicious... 😋This is an excellent wine... ...I'm looking forward to the ministry of...the terrifying...ministry.

Junmai One-Time Fire Brewing 🔥 Times Yume no Kaori 🌾. Souvenir from my wife's trip to Fukushima Onsen: ♨️ Here's another selection of sake I've never had ✨They revitalized a brewery that had stopped production. It's like a "return to origin" 🤔. Slightly yellow. Slightly sweet. Fruity, yes. Melon type 🍈. It has a dry aftertaste. The crispy warabi is delicious 👍Thanks to my wife who carried 2 bottles in a cool bag as a souvenir 🙏.

Check-in is 701st. Let's keep on turning more and more! That's what I've been saying. I love Aizu Otoko. However, I can't select "Sake-no-wa Aizu Otoko". Is it an operation error? The dish had a strong flavor, and the whale sashimi with garlic went well with the bonito.

Here is the 5th drink of the comparison at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Kohime Junmai Sake This one has a distinctly different taste from the other four. The color, the grain-derived aroma, the taste... Classic type with strong umami and acidity. ❗️ Suitable as a food sake

Japanese>English

Purchased with Tenryo sake cup at Okuhiroya in Kayashima. They stocked it because it was well received at a Saga sake tasting event held for sake retailers. Probably not normally available in the Kansai region. The rice is made from Hokkaido's Kitashizuku. I know Nabeshima also uses Kitashizuku. It has a beautiful sake quality for the rice polishing ratio. There is a slight sweetness, but it is also slightly thin and heavy. It also has a nutty taste. It tastes like nothing else.

Japanese>English

HAMA BAR⑤. The last one is "Kouhime" on the far left. It has a slightly sour taste and is very impressive. My friend said she could tell even blind. Really? The DEAR MY PRINCESS on the menu seems to have been very popular this season. It seems to have been very popular this season and has been sold out. I got the third one, RISE, instead.

It is brewed in the Hekikumo brewery on the campus of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. On the campus of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, we brewed Jundaizu at the Hekiun brewery. I admire the idea of brewing sake at a university. It has a fruity and refreshing sweetness. It is very easy to match with meals. On the 11th of next month, the first sake brewed by students "Hekiun" (Junmai Ginjo), the first sake I am very interested in it. I am very interested in it.

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.

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

At the usual BAR (4) This will be my first time at this brewery too✨ The master recommended this fruity sake as it is my favorite 😊. The top aroma is fruity and fruity: ☺️ The aroma is a beautiful apple-like ginjo aroma with a clean sweetness, low umami and acidity, and almost no gassiness. I searched online to review the taste and couldn't find this sake, is it a limited edition? I should have asked for more details from the master 😓.
