It's been a long time since I've drunk a bottle of Raizen ❗️. The aroma is subdued for a Daiginjo🤔. The taste is generally dark and robust😊. I can feel the sweetness and flavor of the rice but I can also feel the alcohol as well😅. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing.

Outside drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Special A District, Hyogo Prefecture The color is clear. There is little fragrance. On the palate, it has a slightly alty feel.

〰fixture Association Yeast No. 601 🌾Weighing: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture 2021/03 The umami of rice, which is typical of junmai, comes in softly. The astringent bitterness comes quickly. The bitterness is quite bitter.

Japanese>English

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

I bought it because I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time! This is the third time I've had it, so I'll spare you my impressions. It has a light, light flavor with a yogurt or yoghurt-like feel, with hints of mushrooms and maltiness. It's perfect with hamburgers and a reset ✨. I found a regular "Kunimori Nigori Shu" on sale, so maybe I'll buy it next time!

Japanese>English

I bought it again because I drank it before and enjoyed the yogurina feel! I just drank it a month ago so I will spare you my impressions 🫡. It is also interesting to note that the lighter the stirring is, the more lactic acid drink-like it becomes as it goes to the bottom, and the more it feels like yoghurina at the beginning and calpis or yakult at the end!

Japanese>English

This Sake has a full mouth feel and a rich flavor. It has the flavor of sweet melon. There is also a bit of acid at the finish to give this a clean aftertaste. Very nice!

A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata. Neige cup ⁈Neige is a Tokamachi's yurukyarakara, a snow fairy. I bought it at Niigata Ponchu-kan. I assumed that the old man was collaborating with Sanrio or some other character, so I did a lot of research and finally found out. I think it is well made. I heard it is also used for the snow firefly trail in Matsunoyama Onsen. And this sake Matsunoi's Junmai sake is solidly delicious. Cup sake is very deep.

I went to the Fushimi Sake Festival. I bought two bottles of sake that I particularly liked from what I drank there. The first bottle was Kyo Hime Daiginjo Takumi. It is a very tasty and favorite sake, hard but full of flavor.

Japanese>English

A gorgeous aroma and flavor that penetrates the nose the moment it hits the palate. The slightly dry, powerful, yet refreshing finish leaves a clear and refreshing impression. The balance is exquisite.

Japanese>English

(Right photo) Daiginjos are also relatively refreshing, but this one is like water! If you taste carefully, you will find a common sweetness and umami. I wonder if the difference in rice polishing ratio makes such a difference. 3.00

The rice used is. Yume Issho from Fukuoka Prefecture Freshly pressed and unpasteurized sake, it has a fresh and crisp mouthfeel. It has a slight muscat-like sweetness and a refreshing finish. You can drink it like a soft drink. It is suitable for a wide range of dishes, but I think it is best served with yakiniku (grilled meat). It is perfect for a rich flavor. ❣️ I would like to repeat this delicious sake. ‼️

Japanese>English

. Sake rice: Yume Ikkyo Rice polishing ratio: 65 At "Yakitori Genkotsuyama" in the main station of Toyohashi Yakitori at GENKOTSU YAMA Sharp, dry and crisp! Not much of the nigori (nigori sake) character! ✩3.5

Japanese>English

. Sake rice: Omachi Polishing ratio: 65 Not much Omachi character. It has a calm flavor. It is best served hot or lukewarm! Similar to Shinkame in flavor! 3.5 stars

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Japanese>English

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Japanese>English

It's very mature for a spring sake, but I guess that's what nighttime cherry blossoms are for. There is a slightly floral aroma, but it's not enough to bother me, just enough to change my attention a bit. It is gentle and tasty, but the line is thin and I would like to see more thickness.

This was my first time to drink Kagoshima sake. I thought it might be too strong, but it was easy to enjoy.

Japanese>English

This is one of the bottles that was sold in a set with Tobiroki at Hasegawa sake shop, it was made in October 2020, so I guess they used Tobiroki to clear this stock 😅. I'm not a big fan of the Satsuma Masamune, but I'm not a big fan of the Tobiroki either. I was a bit worried because it's a raw stored sake, almost a year after production, but there were no quality issues 😄. Rather, I didn't feel the peculiarity that I felt when I drank Junmai Ginjo before, and it tastes better than that time 🌟. It has a slight sweetness, a strong alcohol feeling and a spiciness that comes down the throat, not very distinctive but enough for everyday drinking. Cold sake is the best 😚

Japanese>English

Warmed. The acidity is strong and wraps around the umami.

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Shizuoka Business Trip Part ㉔ Last week, on my way back from Mishima, I stopped by Nagashima-san in Numazu and bought some sake from Kunika Sake Brewery. The aroma is refreshing and clean 🤔. 🤔In the mouth Beautiful and soft 😊Refreshing acidity and a good umami taste 😚👍and it's a delicious sake that I never get tired of drinking 🥳.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.
