Smells like pear with a hint of alcohol. Sweet! The sweetness reminds me of sugar. When swallowing, there is a fluffy flavor reminiscent of rice, and there is also a taste of fruit juice, but the sweetness stands out. There is a carbonation feeling. I want to drink it again tomorrow. It is sweet. The second day. Slightly carbonated. The second day is easier to drink.

(* '☆')☆🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Kawanakajima today 😀. The aroma is a little bit of rice flavor 😊The taste in the mouth is light and a little bit dry 😚The mild umami spreads slowly and then it cuts through quickly 🥰. It's a sake that seems to go well with all kinds of meals 🥳.

Japanese>English

( *^艸^)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been so long since I've had Kawanakajima Genmai that I don't know how many years it's been since I've had it 😋. The aroma is gentle yet elegant 😊The palate has a gentle rice flavor with a very clean and crisp finish 😚👍. It's really easy to drink and a delicious sake that goes well with food 🥳✨.

The color is a yellowish gold, reminiscent of champagne. When shaken, it smells citrusy, sweet and clear, and the expectations are high. Carbonation, apricot, citrus, sourness from the clean drinking experience, taste is not thin and has moments of woodiness and is very tasty. It has a slightly heavy sourness, richness, and astringency reminiscent of low-polished rice, but it is not dull or difficult to drink, and it has a slight heaviness that makes it enjoyable. If you want to try the powerfulness of low-polished rice but also want to drink a beautiful sake, this sake will satisfy both of your needs.

Japanese>English

The slightly sour smell has a fresh soda-like aroma. The slight sourness of cherries from the slight fizz, the woody aroma, and the delicious taste of rice as it fades away. It's delicious. No bitterness. The description says plum, jasmine and honey. The smell is of Japanese cypress. I think it gets drunk faster than other sakes.

Japanese>English

At home. Shinsei has come to our house too❗️. The aroma is not that great, the taste starts with a tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a strong sourness with a hint of sweetness. It was very light and easy to drink. It's a gem that you can drink forever and it's hard to judge when it's over.

Refreshing, sweet and delicious😋. Mio has a huge market share in the sparkling category😃. It would be great if women who are not familiar with sake could be awakened to the taste of sake and start drinking it every night 😛.

Japanese>English

Aizan sake, still stocked but a little interrupted for refrigerator reasons😅. Shochiku Ume, but brewed in Nada, not Fushimi. There's a big building that looks like a factory near Sunshine Wharf. The bottle and cap have a unique design. The aroma on the nose is quite gorgeous, with a slight nuance of peppermint. In the mouth, it has a gorgeous sweetness and a bitter spiciness. It is refreshing but has a strong personality, probably because it is an unfiltered sake.

Japanese>English

If you drink only unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake during the winter, it can be heavy at times, so in the spring, drinking a light sake like this is good for the stomach 🙂.

This is a summer sake limited to exclusive dealers. It is made from Hiroshima Hatan Nishiki at 55% polishing ratio. It has a refreshing sweetness and It has a refreshing sweetness and a firm taste of rice. If you cool it down, it becomes more refreshing. It is the first time to drink this brand. It is a perfect taste for summer.

Japanese>English

It has a banana-type aroma. The sweetness is strong, followed by a slight bitterness and disappears. There is a slight sweet aftertaste. The acidity is not so strong, so it can be an aperitif or an aperitif. I would pair it with an after-dinner dessert.

Japanese>English

[Memorandum]. The third sake is from Hiroshima. Ichidai Yayama. It has a yellowish color and the smell is also bothersome. I can't drink a lot of this.

2021/09/11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opened the bottle carefully with a little bit of crown. As soon as you open it, you can smell the fresh aroma of lactic acid. A gentle refreshing sweetness and then a dry feeling comes. It is a type of beer that can be drunk crisply until the end. Thanks to the low alcohol and strong carbonation It's so refreshing that I couldn't stop sipping it.

Japanese>English

Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi? It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.

Japanese>English

Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake. It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator. It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way). At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor. The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake. Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.

At home. First time in Saitama. I couldn't find Saitama easily, so I searched by the name of the prefecture and finally found it. The aroma is grainy and nutty. The mouthfeel is smooth and fresh, and it has a sweet taste of grain. The sourness and bitterness were not so strong. From the label, I thought it would be heavy, but it was easy to drink.

Mild sweetness. Banana and ripe apples. Moderately refreshing on the back palate.8

Kinmon Nishiki and Hime no Mochi. Local lactic acid bacteria used. The richness of sourness and umami is mellow. It has a rather medium taste.

A sake that seems to be limited to summer. It is sweet and mellow, but easy to drink and delicious.

Here's a post about a sake I had a while ago! I was so busy drinking our family's favorite sake, Seimasamune, that I failed to upload it 💦. Delicious 😍It has the same glutinous rice flavor as last year 🥰The test brew of Seimasamune that we drank before the festival carp was more sweet. This one also has a nice balance of sourness and bitterness❤️ raw power can also be felt. I gave it to a friend of mine who loves to drink, and she was very happy to hear that she drank it with her daughter at night, and that she had never tasted a sake with such a flavor before 🩷. Sake that connects people😍It's nice ‼️
