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.

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got a limited edition of Uozu Sake Brewery, which is now under the Sake Capital umbrella? 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 🥳.

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

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👌.

I was too lazy to cook dinner 😅 Drinking out at our usual pub~⤴️🍶✨ Bringing in the koreh tonight✨ First time I've ever seen this label, I bought it because it was quite handsome ❕. Refreshing, clean, fruity🌸🍶✨ The aroma is softly fruity 💠💠. In the mouth, it's a little melon 🍈. Mellow and crisp ✨. Sweet, spicy and delicious 😆. Well balanced ❕. It's good balance ɵ with a big bowl of Chinese stir-fry with green pepper as usual. I enjoy it with my usual large bowl of green pepper soup.

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?)

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) 🍶.

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 😆.

It was hard to ask them to let me take a picture because they looked so busy, so no picture. The aroma is classic Japanese sake. When you drink it, it is quite refreshing and slightly sweet. The color is dark and I wonder if it has aged a bit. I was allowed to take a picture of it as the restaurant was getting settled, so I switched it out.

Very refreshing! First taste is muscat with a hint of cucumber towards the finish. There is a slight dryness at the finish which is nice. A light mouth feel and a short finish. The name of this Sake is true to the flower.

Sake made from Hinohikari rice, an excellent rice rice. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, with a slight soy sauce nuance. It has a wonderful honey-like sweetness and rich flavor. I think the fragrance comes out when it is near room temperature. The flavor is worthy of the label and name.

Ordered after the taxi driver. Also raw sake. It's called "Soma no Tengu". It is not possible to read it if it notices the frigana of the label. I'm sorry. It's as difficult to read as Kireuriwari in Osaka. Well, how is the taste...? It's been a long time since I drank muddled sake, so I had a strange feeling at the first sip, but the sweetness came, and I thought it was characteristic to change to sourness soon. I drank it up with some sea bream stew and enjoyed it.
