Today, I went to Kanagawa Prefecture to get this one that I have been wanting to drink for a long time...fresh aroma, polished to 55% rice polishing ratio....sweet and bitter on the palate...quite bitter, but what is it? But what is it? It's a pure sake, but it's light and fresh! Oh, it's so good! Marriage of Odawara's fresh shirasu caught in the morning with a side dish....... Thanks for a luxurious evening drink!

Smells like muscat with a sour smell. Sour and sweet, gentle juicy to strong sweet taste. Good wood and yeast flavors that appear along the way. It is like a sweet Shinsei. It goes well with cheese. It is not so sweet that you can't finish your drink, but it is not sweeter than chocolate or potato kenpi. Delicious. Matsumidori: More than expected! When the temperature goes up, it somehow feels like a refreshing juice. It tastes good on the second day, too. You don't get tired of drinking it.

I've been wanting to try a bottle of my favorite Kanagawa sake 🍶 Matsu Midori... Koji rice is Okayama Yamadanishiki, Kake rice is Nagano Miyamanishiki, and the sake is brewed with No. 7 yeast at low temperature fermentation 🍶...the taste...mellow sweet and delicious 😋♪ Excellent balance of sweetness and acidity It's a great balance of sweetness and sourness! It's a sake that can be enjoyed in small sips, but since we're here, we're enjoying the Kanagawa marriage with Odawara local fish assortment and fried kamaboko from Suzuhiro......yummy!

Sake from a sake brewery in the northern part of the prefecture, located in the famous production area of Hachitan-Nishiki, Hiroshima's representative sake rice. The brewery has been working on it since the rice was first produced. The name of the sake is "Miwa Sakura" instead of "Miwa Zakura," which I had been misreading for a long time. It is said to be dry, but the quality of the sake is relatively soft. It has a nice sharp aftertaste and is easy to drink. It is quite my favorite 😋. I had it cold, but I think it can also be served warm.

It has the Omachi-like flavor and sweetness, but it also has a nice crispness. When warmed up, it is more well-balanced with a high temperature.

٩٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Taiheikai today😄. I've only had Taiheikai 1314 once and it's been a while since I've bought it ✨😀😀. Almost no aroma 🤔In the mouth, it is fire-brewed but the sensation of freshness fills the mouth. It's a good combination of matured and fresh 😚😊Mellow and calm with a good umami and a crisp acidity 😋. I don't know if it is suitable for today's suddenly cooler weather, but it was delicious . I don't know, but it was delicious 🥳.

I wish you the best of luck with this one: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had the Taiheikai 😀. The aroma is mild and when you drink it, it's fresh and fruity with a slight swoosh😄The acidity comes at the end but just right✨. It was a modern type of sake😙.

It is a brand that I have been I have been interested in this brand for a long time. It is a fire-aged sake It is a fire-aged sake, yet it has a slight tanginess to it. It has a peachy aroma and sweetness. The first one is the one that is the most popular The taste is sweet and peachy, but it is more refreshing than the previous The last one has a slight bitterness. It has a sweet and peachy aroma, but it tastes more refreshing than the Kishu Nanko Ume The blue cheese is a good combination with the and blue cheese dengaku with Kyo-nanko ume plum crystals and Kyoto fu.

This year's Hiyaoroshi starts here. It's been a while since I've bought a GANKI because of the label, but it's still stable and delicious 😀. The first glass after taking it out of the fridge was too refreshing, but after the second glass, the rice flavor and the elegant sweetness are well balanced, and the food and sake go well together😋. The price was reasonable and I was satisfied with the bottle👍.

Purchased directly from Koganei Sake Brewery...good aroma of Gohyakumangoku...can feel the delicious taste of rice...mmmm...THE local sake! It has the flavor of a local sake, but it also has a modern feel...and a sharp aftertaste! The slight bitterness is only possible with Gohyakumangoku....

Just as the label says. Fresh acidity It has a low alcohol content of 12%. Even those who don't like sake can enjoy this sake! My wife says it's like drinking apple vinegar I'm drinking it like apple cider vinegar 😆.

Here's the last GW drink we had It was a sake brewery I knew nothing about. This sake was sold as a summer draft sake by the Japan Meimon Shukai. It seems it was the first sake from this year to be released as a Meimon Sake Kai sake. Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture, Sake meter value +3, No. 9 yeast Citrusy aroma. The impression is that it is quite sweet and has a rich umami flavor, making it very drinkable. It is not a modern type of sake, but it is quite drinkable. A little acidic? It's hard to drink by itself... It's hard to drink if you don't drink it while eating. I was looking up information on this sake and happened to find out that a liquor store in my neighborhood has started a social networking site 😳.

The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!

It is a local sake, but I drank it for the first time. It had a soft mouthfeel, followed by a bitter taste and a nice sharpness. I learned from the label that it is called "Osaki. According to the explanation by the brewery, this sake is made by growing Miyamanishiki, Aikoku, and Hiyori rice in the company's own rice fields in Osaki, which is undergoing reconstruction.

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?

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

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.
