295 yen. A little more expensive than Asahi Super Dry 500ml can. It has a thin, pear-like smell. It tastes bitter from the beginning when you let it get some air from the sake-like taste, and it has a light, thin taste until the end. I think it is 3 times more intoxicating than Asahi Super Dry.

I finally bought a bottle of "Nobeyokocho". A warm one-cup cup is good.

It has a sour yogurt-like aroma And a fruity aroma like an apple. I'm not sure if it's carbonated water or not. It's so gassy❗️ I think it's a little too much carbonation😭. Holy shit, a little sweet, a little sour, it's so good! It's dry and easy to drink! I can drink it like a juice😍.

Honshu Ichi Unfiltered Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Gift 🍶 Yellowish color and a little bit of aged sake-like peculiarity 🤔. It's more classical than the modern taste of recent years 😅 It's a good learning experience to drink this kind of sake once in a while 😤.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Senbonishiki from Kumano in Hiroshima Prefecture. This brand is probably the first. To be honest, I didn't know about it. The person of the shop said "It comes in after two years". Is it a very limited product? This one is fresh and fruity, just like freshly pressed sake itself. The aftertaste is also crisp and tight with a citrus bitterness❗️. It is a modern sake that is refreshing and easy to drink overall. It seems that there are still some great Hiroshima sake hidden away!

Japanese>English

Store Drinking. 100% Senbon-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima Prefecture The color is clear. The aroma has a Calpis-like flavor. The taste is sweet and umami of rice. It also seems to have a bit of sourness to it. When swallowed, it has a watery freshness and a clear throat. Aromatic ginjo aroma can also be enjoyed 😊. As expected from Hiroshima Prefecture 🍶. High level in every way. It exceeded my expectations and I wanted more 😆.

I was afraid to open it, wondering what it would be like, because I saw it in the workmen's section of the aeon, but it was surprisingly delicious and I quickly emptied it.

The fourth cup went to "Kasen"! Gorgeous aroma like a flower garden. It has a clear, dry mouthfeel with a mineral flavor that brings to mind the scenery of nature. A perfect combination with spicy food such as cod roe ✨.

Attracted by the cool cat label, we opened a bottle of "Tanzan" here. On the back of the label is a large fireworks display in the night sky. If you shine a light on it from behind, you can enjoy the sight of the cat watching the fireworks. The taste is clean and refreshing with a beautiful acidity. Although it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is kept at a low 13%, making it easy to drink for summer. Enjoy it outside while watching fireworks. Delicious: ‼️

Nakanori-san from last year's Shinshu Jizake distribution times that I drank last week: ‼️ Usually sweet and simply delicious 😋. I think I liked the secret course better with more flavor on it. It has a taste that is typical of Shinshu sake, and would go well with soba noodles or even meat 😋. This kind of sake is perfect for a regular drink 👍

Japanese>English

The last sake to be introduced at the welcome party was by Nakanori-san, a Kiso connection, since we were unable to prepare sake from Yukawa-san, who brewed Shirakiku in Okunonoto. A comparison of contrasting drinks from Shinshu and Ishikawa. It is the ultimate in rich sweetness, sweet and delicious. It is not clingy, but easy to drink. The sake rice is Miyamanishiki. This sake was the first to disappear.

Japanese>English

［Aladdin and Chuin on weekday evenings. After we finished the Shinshu Kamerei, here is what we had next. NAKANORISAN Not much aroma, but a mouthful of impactful umami and a delayed sweetness, followed by a refreshing finish and a lingering bitterness that lingers in the throat. Somewhat similar to "Shinshu Kamerei" 🤔.

A local sake from my relatives. Yamada Nishiki has a strong flavor. It has a strong alcoholic taste, which is typical of Japanese sake. There is no miscellaneous taste, so you can feel the elegance of traditional sake. The sake has a strong flavor with a strong alcohol taste.

The second drink at the Sacred Bar was "Kaguyahime," which is very Kyoto-like. It was fresh and sweet on the palate, so it went better with grilled white onions than sashimi.

Japanese>English

Yamamoto Honke had a store at Sendai Mitsukoshi in conjunction with the Kyoto Exhibition. I look forward to Yamamoto Honke's "tarekuchi" every year at this time of the year, but it seems to take about one more week before it is shipped, so I did not get it this year either. The aroma is a fresh ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is fruity, fresh, sweet, and juicy, with a light acidity and bitterness from the aftertaste of alcohol. It has a high quality, classical, and sharp taste, and is very satisfying to drink. Thank you very much!

Japanese>English

A "sacred" store found near Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Great cold drink when you are finally able to sit down after a long day of walking 😀. It was slightly carbonated and went down my throat so well I didn't mind the 19% alcohol content 😅. You can't tell the alcohol content in modern sakes. Beautiful construction.

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

Today, Tennyo no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo made with Miyamanishiki from Toyoga in Obuse, Nagano Prefecture❗️❗️ The aroma is clean, fruity, and sweet❗️As you sip, there is a mellow texture on the tongue, with raw tingling and a sharp acidity coming❗️and the fruity sweet aroma leaves the nose❗️It is also a great food sake❤️

Japanese>English

Sake from Obuse, famous for its chestnuts. The light blue label is refreshing and summery. The taste is perfect for this time of year, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through quickly. It is said to be drier than other brands of this brand. Next time, I would like to drink it lukewarm after the fall season.

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Japanese>English

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Japanese>English

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.
