The sake I bought back from Tottori. Oh... it's a Junmai Ginjo, but it doesn't have a Ginjo aroma... Aged scent? Yes, it's actually a sake that's been aged for 3 years. Aged sake usually has a harsh aroma for me, but But this one has a gorgeous aroma and a soft taste. It's an excellent product for beginners of aged sake.

Japanese>English

Aged 3 years, this was my first attempt at an aged product, and it has quite an impact. My honest impression is that it smells like an auto repair shop? Hmmm, difficult for a beginner.

It's been quite a while since I've had a Niaokaya 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 🤔In the mouth, it has a freshness that is typical of unadulterated sake😊The umami of rice🌾 spreads quickly 😚The aftertaste has a slight alkali feeling, but the sharpness is good👍 I thought it was a sake that could be served with food or on its own 🥳✨.

Japanese>English

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Koshi finished early yesterday and I got a cup of Gen 😋. The aroma after opening the bottle is The Sake 💪🏾 When you drink it, you can really taste the rice🌾 and it is a crisp dry sake with a good balance of acidity and umami 😊. It is a strong style of Japanese-Sake 😚👍Cup sake is very useful to make up for the lack of alcohol content🥳☝️

Dry Wakatsuru Gen Junmai-shu Shiboritate 300ml Rice polishing ratio: 67 Alcohol content: 16%. Purchased at the Toyama Airport store ^ ^. Gen's Shiboritate is only available at this time of the year and you don't see it very often. I had it in the waiting room with onigiri (rice ball) since I was going out for a short trip today and did not drive.

Beautiful label...18% alcohol by volume...the alcohol is very strong...aroma: a faint aroma of rice. You can feel the delicious taste of rice on the palate...but the bitterness in the aftertaste is bothersome...It's like a good old Japanese sake...I'm having it with sashimi assorted by my regular old man. .... I'm sipping it. It's a raw sake, so it warms you up....

Japanese>English

Kimasa "Junmai Ginjo" 720ml Alcohol content 16%. Rice: Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio 50%. The label is classical, but the taste is clean, mild and gentle. My wife says it has a nice gap between the two.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki Compared to the special junmai we drank before, this one is lighter. It has a slight amber color and a slightly matured taste. There is little bitterness, and no cloying taste. This sake is a bit lacking as a cup sake. The sake had a good sharpness, so it had a refreshing taste. 65th cup sake

Tonight is my usual Wednesday pub 🍺. Sake brought in by a regular who knows me - ⤴️🍶 Cloth lapels are awesome ⤴️⤴️😆 It's sweet, slightly sour, and very oishy ❕. This one is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm enjoying it very much.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. The one that impressed me the most after tasting several kinds of Kunihiki. It is sweet and fruity. It has a sourness like citrus. It is low in alcohol but very drinkable. However, I personally don't like the top flavor. I can't explain it well, but it smells sweet? I can't explain it well, but it smells like a sweet smell. After drinking it, it tastes fine, but I don't like the aroma when I put it close to my nose. It's difficult to describe... It might be quite tasty with meat as it says on the back 🤔.

Japanese>English

Faint golden color with a grain aroma. Bitter, astringent, and acidic tastes overlap each other. If you expect the fruity and sweetness of a typical Junmai Daiginjo, you are way off. I drank it cold, but I might try warming it up. The Nishijin textile label is cool❗️.

Lid is stiff. Thin lactic acidity, slightly sweet fruit-like smell. Lemon and plum-like acidity emerges from the thin rice mouthfeel, finishing with rice-like flavor acidity and a hint of sweetness. Delicious. It is refreshing and easy to drink. The lower the temperature, the more refreshing it is.

I got a bottle of UO from Uozu Sake Brewery, which is now under the umbrella of Sake Capital 😀. It seems to be a sake developed to go well with fish from Toyama Bay ✨. The aroma is mild 😄and the palate is smooth, fresh, and light 🤔, and it finishes with a refreshing acidity 😚I couldn't really tell the difference between it and the Hohanami 🤣 but it was a delicious sake 🥳.

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

Aged in oak barrels Sake rice: Koji rice: Yamagata Prefecture, Izuwanosato Kake rice: Sake no Hana (Yamagata Prefecture) Rice polishing: Koji rice 60%, Kake rice 55 Alcohol: 15.9 Acidity: 3.1 Sake Degree: -23 Yeast: Association No. 7 It is said to be a brand from a sake brewery in Sakata City. Strong oaky aroma at the top and quite sweet on the palate. Since I was drinking it without a meal, it was a bit sweet on its own, and to be honest, it didn't go down well with me... It is a sake with a meal (western food) 🍶.

The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and bitter. It is my favorite type of sake, but the sweetness becomes more pronounced at room temperature. It's not a sticky sweetness, but it's easier to drink when it's chilled! It's good to drink it after a meal👌.

Honshu Ichi Unfiltered Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Gift 🍶 Yellowish color and a little bit of aged sake-like peculiarity 🤔. It's more classical than the modern taste of recent years 😅 It's a good learning experience to drink this kind of sake once in a while 😤.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Senbonishiki from Kumano in Hiroshima Prefecture. This brand is probably the first. To be honest, I didn't know about it. The person of the shop said "It comes in after two years". Is it a very limited product? This one is fresh and fruity, just like freshly pressed sake itself. The aftertaste is also crisp and tight with a citrus bitterness❗️. It is a modern sake that is refreshing and easy to drink overall. It seems that there are still some great Hiroshima sake hidden away!

Japanese>English

Store Drinking. 100% Senbon-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima Prefecture The color is clear. The aroma has a Calpis-like flavor. The taste is sweet and umami of rice. It also seems to have a bit of sourness to it. When swallowed, it has a watery freshness and a clear throat. Aromatic ginjo aroma can also be enjoyed 😊. As expected from Hiroshima Prefecture 🍶. High level in every way. It exceeded my expectations and I wanted more 😆.
