The label is unexpectedly attached on two sheets. The second one that I turned over, The second label is a nice beckoning cat with both hands raised in the air. The taste is mellow and autumnal, The taste is mellow like an autumn sake with a fresh sweetness like a pear. It is easy to match with meals.

Japanese>English

It is a light and refreshing sake! It's a great match for a midday drink!

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Abe-kan at home. The one I drank in the past was a special sake with a special kijoshu spec, so I don't think it was any different from the first time I drank it. It is dry with a strong gassy and acidic taste. It is not that sweet, but it is easy to drink because of the sourness. I don't think I've ever seen Abe-kan sold anywhere but Edion Namba.

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 👍

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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.

We had another bottle of DATESEVEN that we had missed drinking with the returning bonito. I dressed it with a large amount of myoga sent from the countryside. Everyone else had mentioned that it tasted good well chilled, and I thought they were right. It was delicious.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

〰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!

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was hot today, so I had a bottle of Dobrock. It's my first time to drink in Tokyo😙It was separated so I mixed it up and opened the bottle. It was very carbonated and I spilled a lot of water 😛 It was so fizzy it was like pouring cider into a glass. It's not too sweet and the grains of rice are delicious. It's also good on a hot day as it's chilled 😀.

Japanese>English

Looks so cool!!! 🤣LOL Not the usual goddess of ministry️. I wonder who she is: ？？？？ LOL! Compared to the standard Hanagumori Clean and refreshing👍. It's a doburoku but it's like eating a fruit. Rice dessert feeling😋. It also refreshes greasy food. The chocolate was delicious too 😚😚

Japanese>English

I carefully opened the bottle and it took about 15 minutes. It's a sake that you can eat with your eyes, with the grains of rice usually recognizable. Overall, the strong gaseous feeling gives a swooshing impression, so it's refreshing to drink. I liked it.

Stylish bottle with mechanical stopper. Refreshing, just like the image. You can feel the fresh acidity and The flavor of the rice is firm. As the day goes by, the taste gets better and better. I also enjoyed the taste change.

Japanese>English

Sweet aroma like melon, sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness and sour aftertaste. The bitterness lingers, but it's delicious😋. It's a unique sake 钎It's good as a food drink too. I'm not sure if it's because it's a new sake or not, but it's got a bit of an edge to it.

Japanese>English

The bottle was opened without any sign of carbonation. The whey-like smell is gorgeous. The taste is dry and rice-like. It finishes with a sense of rice and acidity. It is a taste you can find when you drink orikara-mi. The sweetness is added by mixing in the ori that has accumulated at the bottom, and it is just right. It is delicious. As you get used to drinking it, it becomes more familiar to your tongue and you can drink it in large gulps, and it is irresistibly good as you continue drinking it. It tastes even better after a year in the refrigerator, but I can't wait that long.

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.
