A summer-only light nigori (nigori is a light, unadulterated sake). The alcohol content is light at 9 degrees. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The bottle and labeling are stylish. You can enjoy sake in a fashionable way.

Japanese>English

Beau Michelle's light nigori 😍✨ discovered by accident in Osaka. I didn't think I'd be able to drink this this year❗️I bought it right away❗️ I'll be back in a few days! It's almost overflowing with the sizzle 😮️❗️ It's fruity like a fruit wine on the palate⁉️Is this really sake? It's 9% and 500ml, so naturally I finished it in one night🤣.

Sweet 👊 Really Sake ⁉️ Sake that is not like sake in a good way😊.

The bottle looks like champagne. When the clasp and cork are removed. "I heard a fizzing sound. I was afraid that it would overflow, but But I was able to pour it normally. But I was able to pour it. The sweetness is clear. It is a true champagne of rice. The alcohol content is also light at 12 degrees, making it easy to drink. It is stored in cherry barrels and undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is said that it is finished as sparkling.

Japanese>English

It's my first time drinking Shichiken raw😄. Sweet aroma like a cake. Almost no bubbles. The sweetness is moderate and the taste is cleaner than expected. The aftertaste is pleasantly spicy and bitter with a long finish. The finish is long and refreshing 🍎 like apples. Sashimi is a good match, but salt is a better match than soy sauce😋. This bottle is also only about 1,200 yen, so I guess Shichiken's cost is great👍👍.

Japanese>English

Sparkling Japanese Sake. It was made with a lot of time and effort by laying it down in the whiskey barrels of Suntory Hakushu Distillery. I didn't have a chance to open the bottle after I bought it, but finally I did. It has a sharp throat. It's a great way to start the day. It's not as bad as the sparkling wine ☺️.

It is a nigorizake made from Junmai Junmai Nakakumi. It is quite dry and has a strong bitterness, but as the temperature rises, you can taste the umami sweetness. It is a delicious sake 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake starts very bold with strong and bright flavors of tart apples and butterscotch. There is enough acidity to give this a short dry finish. Wow, the explosion of flavor woke me up. 😳

When I went to Takimoto, I suddenly felt like drinking a small bottle of nigori. It was the first time I bought Tsukitsukatsura since they changed the label to a fashionable one. Strong taste. Shuwa shuwa. I almost gushed out. The alcohol content is high, so the strong alcohol taste comes with a bang. The delicious taste of rice surges in. The sweetness is only slightly perceptible in the latter half of the bottle. Personally, I don't think it goes well with Tsuki no Katsura...

Sangu is the first time in about 2 years of sales. It has a solid body with the power of Aizan, but it feels lighter than the last time I drank it. It also seems a little sweeter... Is it my imagination? I have no complaints, and I still like the same type, but I wonder if my taste buds have changed? When I evaluate it calmly, I can taste the flavor and the sharpness is good. It is not fruity, but it is slightly sweet and well-balanced. It is a good sake!

Japanese>English

Mie Pref. Nabari City. Sawasa Sake Brewing Company. Sangu Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Aizan The last sake of the Aiya Festival was Sangu, which had been laid down for a long time. The brewery's toji may have passed away, but the truth is still unknown. We will be very grateful for the sake. I'll have it cold. The color is clear, but the yellow color is quite discernible. The top aroma has a strong pure alcohol aroma. It flows smoothly on the palate. The taste has a slight, weak acidity, and the umami of the rice seeps out slowly. It has a gentle, somewhat Aizan-like quality, and there is almost no bitterness. It has a mild and rounded flavor. It's probably not the same as bottled tailored, but I appreciated it and enjoyed it. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt Rice used: 100% Banshu Aiyama Rice polishing ratio:33 Alcohol content:15 Made with 100% domestic rice

Japanese>English

Iga tasted sake from Nabari. We were served a five-year-old aged sake. The amber-colored sake was full of flavor that had been nurtured and matured over the years. It was a truly delicious sake with a dense flavor.

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6) Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery. Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat. I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find. The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake. I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.

Japanese>English

This month we had a lot of drinking outside, so it's been a while since I've had a drink at home! I got a bottle of summer sake "Kashoku", which is rarely seen even in my hometown, because there was some left at the liquor store! The mouthfeel is sweet with a refreshing acidity, and the mellow aroma lingers until the end. It seems that more emphasis is placed on the mellow aroma than on the refreshing taste! Although it is a summer sake, it is a perfect bottle for long nights in autumn. I felt it has the potential to be as good as many dishes in the autumn season of taste.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_56 Fukui Prefecture Booth 8 The Yutaka Sake Brewery is located in Sabae City, which feels somewhat familiar to us since Umaiai-san helped them at the Japanese Sake Festival. ◉Kasokandoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae The aroma is slightly smoky. It has a sweet and savory taste, with a slight bacon-like flavor. Even without any favoritism, they make a lot of good sake. They seem to be particular about Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture. The level of sake in Fukui Prefecture is also very high, and there is a lot of good sake here. I forgot to take a picture of this one, so I borrowed it from bouken.

At home. The other day, on a trip to Aichi Atsuta Houraiken, I opened a bottle of the one I bought at the supermarket to have a little drink at the hotel. When I bought it, I thought it was a Nagoya sake.... But when I looked at it carefully, I realized it was Shizuoka sake. ‼️ It was refreshing and smooth, and although it had a sweet and alcoholic taste, it was easy to drink and the 300ml was gone in no time. ‼️ The second photo is from Atsuta Houraiken, and the third and fourth photos are from the next day's visit to the famous morning coffee shop Karasu, where I ordered an an-butter sandwich.

I have a new impression of Ehime sake 😁. I had never had much Ehime sake before, but I had an image of it being somewhat mellow and dry. This sake is completely different, it is light and slightly acidic, and together with the bitterness in the aftertaste, it is somehow like grapefruit 😊. It also has a bit of a fizzy feel and is very easy to drink as there is no unpleasant spiciness that lingers in the throat 😋. If it were a little more sour, I think I would find it too sour for me, but this level of sourness is just right 😄. I'm only one bottle away from the nationwide domination of the four-gouple bottles or more limited edition. The last one is in Osaka, when can I achieve it? 😅

Japanese>English

The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.

Japanese>English

All Matsuyama Mitsui produced in Ehime prefecture, 60% polished rice Preferred: ★★★★★ Cold: ★★★★★ Cold: - Lukewarm: - Hot: - A very well-balanced summer sake, with a coolness that you can feel even if it doesn't assert the feeling of a summer sake, a soft mouthfeel followed by an aroma that spreads through the nose, a flavor that makes you want to chew it over and over again, and the top summer sake I've had so far! Komatsuna with sesame paste, bonito tataki, kaisen donburi

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

Japanese>English

Super dry but full of umami! It goes down your throat nicely! Cool! Cool! Cool! The side dish is Steamed Abalone with Butter Shoyu Extra large conger eel 🐟. Bonus reward rice 😑.

Peach aroma before drinking, peach and strawberry-like sweetness on the palate with a hint of bitterness from the sake. I like it very much.
