Dry Bitterness Umami Acidity Invigorating Fresh Fruity Crisp

Hitogochi rice is used. I got the impression that the freshness and fruity sweet/umami taste was accented by a slight bitterness. I think I prefer the Misuzu Junmai Ginjo I drank before, which has a stronger sweet/fruity flavor. I think it gets sweeter and better after a longer time than when it is freshly opened.

Japanese>English

At the usual place, in the usual way. Dry chilled sake, refreshing and easy to drink. It was delicious!

Japanese>English

Miyamanishiki 49% polished rice. Fruity aroma like apples. When you drink it, it is mild and refreshingly sweet and spicy. Unlike the impression on the label, it has a modern taste.

I've wanted to try Manotsuru for a long time. The rice is Gohyakumangoku. It has a gentle mouthfeel and a gorgeous apple-like ginjo aroma. The taste is mature and sweet. The taste is sharp and disappears quickly. I've drunk all of the breweries on Sado Island, but I don't remember the taste of Kitayuki, so I'd like to try it again.

Manotsuru Sake from Sado Island It's this time of year, but my second son had his PCR test I went to Sado Island for a summer vacation with my workmates I was told to refrain from going to Sado Island ☹️... I'm not sure if this is a bad idea... I came back from Sado Island directly after GW! I bought it as a souvenir 😀. I'm not sure if this is a good idea I'm not sure if it's a good price I'm a first year working man and I'm broke so I got a small bottle... 🤣 The sake is dry and crisp with a nice flavor. The Daiginjo is easy to drink despite its firmness. It's delicious!

CWS. I've been interested in Shiro-Ko for a while, so I bought it at Edion along with the Tazake zodiac label. Low alcohol. The aroma has a strong alcohol smell. Slightly effervescent and gentle on the palate. Slightly sweet and slightly sour. Mineral taste. It disappears and disappears quickly. As it says, you can drink it forever.

Japanese>English

The sake was made by aging sake for 238 days in wine barrels that were used to age Merlot at Shinshu Takayama Winery (Nagano Prefecture). It was an easy to drink sake with a sweet and light flavor. I opened it right away. 2530 yen.

Found it at a local store I sometimes go to 👀. I had no prior knowledge of the brand, but was attracted by the sexy label and the owner's comment that it was "sweet and delicious" 😁. It is indeed sweet. But not sticky, clean and elegant sweetness 😋. By the third day, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was balanced 😆 Uma~! I guess the 6th place in the Saga ranking is not for nothing 😆😆. Thanks for the food 🙏🙏.

Returning home to my parents' house Since I've come all this way, I'll have a glass of Saga sake. You can feel the depth of rice in this sake. The accompaniment was octopus dumplings from Yachan-do!

Japanese>English

Here's the second drink, a drink comparison at HAMA BAR in Kashima City. Nokomi Special Junmai Sake The concept of this sake is a light taste with a mild aroma. It is made with "Saga-no-Hana" rice, which is suitable for sake brewing in Saga Prefecture, and is said to have a light taste. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity that makes me want another glass 😁!

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

Japanese>English

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

Japanese>English

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

What's the best way to get a cup of sake today? Today I got a cup of Tsurugidake. It has a refreshing taste with a full-bodied flavor and a crisp aftertaste 😚. The 200ml cup was gone in no time 🥳👍.

#Shinagawa Konan-guchi# Here's the last one. Maybe it's because I'm drunk - I can drink it like water 😆. It's a smooth and silky smooth sake 😁. I guess it's like light and dry 🤔.

Welcome off-line meeting for Jay & Nobby (6) Next, we ordered Junmai Daiginjo, which was one of the two types of Junmai Daiginjo on the lineup. Ginban 50 Junmai Daiginjo The clear aroma, the acidity stands out against the sweetness of the mouthfeel, and the finish is sharp and pleasant!

The entry is soft with a slight citrus aroma, and the overall taste is dry with a moderate amount of flavor typical of Omachi rice. My wife and son had bought some spicy chicken from Saizeriya's take-out, and we enjoyed it as a snack.

It has a freshness reminiscent of flowers and grasses, and a gentle yet fragile taste. The modern light sake quality, like limpid spring water, is clean. It may seem thin if you are used to strong flavors, but the gentle taste of koji and lingering acidity make it refreshing.

Japanese>English

2021/08/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Juicy sweetness like a ripe melon. The acidity is a little moderate and round. The rich flavor of the rice comes through. The impression is beautiful, gentle and healing. It is a sake that gives the impression of being "gentle and sincere without being delicate. This sake has the same impression.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Sota Watanabe Shoten in Aizu❗️ Since we are in Aizu, we want to buy sake that can only be bought here 😊. It's my first time to drink this brand ❗️ The aroma is moderate and the taste is very refreshing ❗️ It doesn't have any special characteristics but it is well balanced as a food sake. It's a good and easy to drink sake👍

It's white and looks like ❄️⛄️. Sweet and mellow I was expecting it to be thicker, but it's pretty easy to drink 😊. I read the label on the back and it looks like it would be great with soda! I should have tried it! I realized today that I should have tried it. All the drinks in this set are new to me. I was also surprised that the bananas had a higher alcohol content! ฅ(⊙д⊙๑)ฅ
