I bought a bottle of Ayahana Slightly Sparkling Nigori when I went to Fukuoka last year. There were no stores in Tokyo that carried it, so I went to Sakatoya in Mizonokuchi to buy it 🍶. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of koji and acidity. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the slight carbonation. The sweetness of juicy rice with a slight bitterness and a refreshing crispness. It was delicious again this year 🍶✨️

This is a new series from Issen Fudo. It expresses "playfulness" and We use white koji for the preparation. It is characterized by the refreshing sweetness of the rice. The rugged image of single-mindedness and steadfastness. It's subverted in a good way.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.

It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

Japanese>English

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

Fresh Umami Invigorating Fizzy Crisp Acidity Bitterness Refreshing

Tensei 1

Tensei 2

Tensei 3

At home. It is the first Kanagawa and the first Tensei. The aroma is slightly fruity. The characteristic is the softness when you put it in your mouth. It's so tasteless and odorless that you think it's water for a moment, but it makes your mouth swell up. The smell of Cemedine in the nose and throat is clear. It's the first time I've ever felt such a sensation.

Japanese>English

Purchased for the purpose of coloring Kanagawa Prefecture😅. It had a green apple-like aroma, a refreshing taste, and the sweetness of rice. I could feel the producer's "penetrating tininess and full of moisture". We will soon be able to complete the Kanto area as Hanahayo and Yamori will be in the cellar as well 😊.

Japanese>English

Polishing ratio 100%. The color is golden rather than yellow. It has a grassy, black vinegar, and when shaken, it has an apple-like flavor. It has a honey, sour, vinegar, and umami taste. It seems to have five times more amino acids than regular sake, which may be responsible for the umami and acidity. The umami lingers for a long time. It has a long lingering umami aftertaste. It has a sour, umami, vegetal, and matured taste, and the surging sourness and umami make it hard to feel the 16% alcohol content. It is good with Robatazuke and pickled plums. It is good with food.

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... .... I forgot about it...I thought it was a hybrid of old-fashioned and modern...not much aroma...the mouthfeel has the old-fashioned mellow, mellow, umami taste.... It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Japanese>English

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

A gift of Koshino Kanbai, 100% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 30%! The aftertaste of Yamadanishiki, with its moderate bitterness and full flavor, is good.... I guess...

Japanese>English

I bought it at Max Value. The aroma is lightly fruity? It's a good idea to try a little bit of both. Today, my second son is taking care of me. It is better than drinking alone✌️. I think I'm going to drink too much😊😊😊.

A tipple at the wife's parents' house. This sake has a matured flavor from multiple sake rice varieties and is moist and easy to drink. The accompaniment is an osechi dish

Purchased at Yokohama Takashimaya Rice used is Kame-no-o type Koshihikari produced in Kasama City The alcohol is a little strong, but the taste is smooth and not like an unfiltered draft. It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness and is refreshingly clean❣️. There aren't many unfiltered sake that are good all-around food sake, but this one seems to go well with all kinds of food❣️.

Japanese>English

Well, it has a solid rice feeling and no acidity ☺️. I think it's a little light in character, but But I can't help but drink more😋. @Kasama Masuya

Rice used is Hanabukiyuki Easy to drink and refreshing. In other words, it is well-balanced.

Japanese>English

It is characterized by mild acidity and deep umami. Although it is a Yamahai, it has no astringent taste and is easy to drink with few peculiarities. It is also good cold, but I would like to try it with a little bit of kamatama. Purchased at Aspam and served on the rapid train "Resort Shirakami".

It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!

Japanese>English

Sourced in Japan The twisted lid was loosely tightened and leaked a little during transportation. The aroma was good, as is typical of honjozo, and it was delicious.
