Compared to the other two, I had a twinge after drinking it (laughs). I'm glad I drank it because it's a name I hear a lot (laughs).

It's been a long time since I've had a barrel of Yoshinosugi sake. You can see it often in Kansai, but rarely in Fukuoka 😂. Hiyade Woody aroma unique to cedar barrels Mature and broad flavor Unique acidity Good as a food sake Excellent pairing with strong flavored food.

The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

Purchased as a memento of my trip to Kyoto I tasted many kinds of sake and chose this one. Sourness with a refreshing bitterness in the aftertaste.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

Japanese>English

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO① After receiving a reconnaissance mission from bouken, we first visited Saga Prefecture's Saka Sake Brewery. The brewer was an Italian. He speaks fluent Japanese. He used to be a language teacher in Japan, but was scouted by the brewery. ◯Saka Junmai Ginjo Nama It has a firm flavor and freshness. It has a chocolatey taste, but it is well balanced. The alcohol content is 17%. ◯Saka special junmai draft It is also full-bodied and fruity. ◯Mado no Ume Junmai Daiginjo Hananoi It is clear and has a slightly spicy but refreshing aftertaste. ◯Mado no Ume Junmai Ginjo It has a clear acidity and a slightly spicy aftertaste. ◯Mado no Ume Special Junmai According to the brewer, it is suitable for hot sake. It has a strong umami taste and is delicious. It is said that it goes well with soup stock dishes. There are many good brands of Saga sake that we don't know about.

Japanese>English

I like it as much as Kubota Manju. Window plum sake brewery. The label has changed now. It is now called Saka Shuzo. Dry and smooth like water. Dry without any peculiarities. Really easy to drink... If you don't like sake, please give it a try ദ്ദി ᷇᷇᷆.

Japanese>English

It is a little bit dry and has a smooth taste. ────. For those who do not like dry sake or those who want to enjoy sake with just a cup of sake. Please enjoy it cooled down to the perfect temperature 🍸*P

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

Japanese>English

This one, like the Ko-Imari, was purchased when I was with Yoohee-san. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui. It has a melon-like taste and a strong bitter taste like bitter melon. I thought it would be a little sweeter, but it is quite spicy. It is more like melon or cemedine. It is not my favorite type of rice.

Last Friday, while playing mahjong, we compared the hanpukai drinking ‼️ I honestly don't remember much😅. Well, mahjong was fun 🤣. Shinshu sake is usually very good, so you can drink it without worries 👍

Clean and refreshing taste. It is fresh and easy to drink. The ginjo aroma is also exceptional. It seems to go well with foods from the mountains.

I bought it because I had never drunk this brewery before and it was 300ml. It has a light banana-like nuance. It is slightly sweet and sour. It is crisp and the aftertaste is short.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu bought at Chapinstow, London. It is a raw sake. It has a dry taste. Unpatseurised sake. Unpatseurised sake. Dry taste. Weak smell and aroma, you can feel the taste if alcohol. 3.5/5 ✖️ don't buy again: it's a welcome change from the softer Junmai Daiginjo we usually have, but it isn't my favourite.

It is not only sweet. Sweet, a little spicy with a touch of spiciness, acid, drinkable. Well made and named.

Hmmm...it's +10 dry, but I feel the dry finish is very good. It's not too dry and spicy, but it's full of spiciness and delicious flavor. You can enjoy it. It reminds me of ears of rice under the blue sky of Shonai, a rice place.

Hazen tasted sake from Sakata. We received it as a return gift from our hometown tax payment. The taste was crisp, yet quite mellow and drinkable. It was a very tasty sake with a strong umami flavor.
