It was recommended to me by a liquor store and I purchased it. It has the slight gassy taste of nama-shu, a good balance of soft sweetness and refreshing acidity, and is quite excellent as a food sake.

The 5th cup is Harukasumi‼️Akita sake 👍. Sister, I only remember that I'm back 🤣. When I looked at the picture I saw it said No.6 yeast and it reminded me a bit 😆. 5 cups in this store and that's it👍 There wasn't a single one that wasn't to my liking, so it was a nice, moderately priced place👍.

Not as sweet as the flavor, with a crisp aftertaste.

Purchased in a cuddle. I heard it was sweet, but bitterness comes first. I'm kind of getting tired of drinking it. It's not well-balanced. I was expecting a little more... I drank about half of it, but I'm going to take a sake bath. My family was happy.

Time is up, but here is the second bottle for the welcome party! Manjukagami, the department head's favorite! Following the black bottle at the previous farewell party, this time he brought a white bottle. The aroma was slightly fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and fruity, with a fragrant aftertaste. The bitter aftertaste is crisp and bitter. This bitterness reminds us that it is alsobe. This deretsun-like sensation is addictive! Thanks for the treat!

去年店頭で見かけて気になってたけど値段がネックでスルーしたお酒。在庫処分なのか2割引だったので購入してみた😅 1年経ってるから少し不安だったけど熟成感は無くフレッシュで甘旨。甘過ぎやろってくらい甘い🤣 だけど少し甘ダレしてるような印象。製造日からすぐ飲めばめっちゃ美味しそうな雰囲気めっちゃ感じる。

Our department head's favorite Manjyukagami A former colleague of mine (from Niigata) told me that it was a perfect match for our department head, who loves dry sake, so he ordered some and brought it to us. Although it is a honjozo, it is skillfully brewed without giving too much of an alcoholic taste. It has a moderate sweetness, umami, and a good sharpness, and you can faintly feel the presence of good quality alcohol. Although it is not a major brand, it was very tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

Smells like sweet peaches. It has a strong acidity and bitterness. When it is mixed with rice, it becomes more rice-like, spicy, and acidic, and the sensation of having it in the mouth is strong. The smell is that of koji.

Record of 2021/7/20 Gunma Cup Classic sake with the taste of rice.

Japanese>English

This is the last Maikaze series for this year. It's been quite a while, but we'll be having "Mt. Haruna" for the last time! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a relaxing sweet aroma. It has a peachy aroma. It also has a slightly banana-like flavor. The palate is smooth, as is typical of Gunma sake, with a slight sweetness that is typical of "Maifu" and a nice astringent taste that plays an active role in the background! The astringency also gives it a mineral taste, which I personally feel is similar to the "Tenpyo Junmai" that I drank before👍. In the latter half, the astringency becomes the main taste, which reminds me of grapefruit. It melts away at the end, so it goes down smoothly! I've enjoyed many Maikaze series this year, including "Akagisan"✨I'm looking forward to next year!

Saku City. This is from last year, as it is released in September every year. It tastes like a matured rice wine. Even if it is sweet, it is good. The label tells you what kind of sake it is, which is nice for check-ins.

Rice used is Yoshino Gin-no-sato 1/3rd bottle of Yoshino Sake Rice Project Kitamura Sake Brewery, probably for the first time. It has a good amount of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. The alcohol content is a little high. The aftertaste is also crisp, and it is good that it does not get dull. As expected of Nara's sake, the level of the ministry is high.

Japanese>English

The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️. The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon). This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆. I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳. It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️. By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇 I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇 All that crosses our path are demons 👹. But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again. I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)

At home. First time on Mt. Ena ~ ‼️ I thought it was absolutely delicious and bought it. And I opened the bottle immediately. Well, the aroma is gorgeous. It is smooth, fruity, and has a perfect balance of sweet and sour tastes. ‼️ It is also very easy to drink, so it was a perfect choice. ‼️ My son, who was with me, took a sip and tasted it. He said, "It has a noticeable sourness. He understood very well. I felt that our family's level of Japanese sake tasting is improving little by little.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice: Gohyakumangoku 76% Yamada Nishiki 24%, polishing rate: 35%, alc.: 16% Sweet aroma of ripe bananas. Flavor is juicy and sweet. Sweetness is balanced with gentle acidity.

It's the first time to drink this alcohol❗️. The aroma is a hint of banana🍌 The taste is quite sweet☺️. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be great for you.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) The effect of oak barrels, or something quite close to whiskey, but the mellowness and acidity of sake is also alive! I know it's just my imagination, but I feel it's similar to the whiskey akashi. Of course, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have thought so. I also had a bottle of Junmai Namae in the heated sake corner, but my memory is a little fuzzy on whether or not my brain was getting the alcohol when I got here! I do remember that it was meant to be heated, but that's about it.

First brand I've ever encountered ✨ It's sour and delicious! I loved the taste!

2021 BY. A cup of tears, courtesy of the master. White oak barrel brewing. It has a rich umami flavor and a mild sweetness. With the aroma of the barrels, it flows mellowly, and the umami goes right to the back of the mouth.
