Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

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.

Whale wave is next. I thought it was your first time in Gifu Prefecture and you got one 😊. The aroma is fresh and fruity by nature, with a slight hint of hineyness, perhaps because the bottle was opened 3 months later. Well-balanced fruity. Almost no acidity. A full-bodied flavor softly appears at the end of the bottle. Although it is a draft sake, it is quite soft and mild. Maybe soft water? 🤔 It is best served cold or chilled. It seems to be difficult to age.

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.

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

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

I knew I bought the normal one at Lawson's too😆. If you look closely, you can see the r in Summer is capitalized. Yopa Memo_φ(____) Spicy cider Good sharpness Seems to go well with oily food I think it's possible to have it when it gets cold, like ice cream with a kotatsu (a table over a kotatsu), and then have it at a nabe (hot pot). But then again, this amount might not be enough... It was delicious 😋😋😋.

Purchased directly from Koganei Sake Brewery...good aroma of Gohyakumangoku...can feel the delicious taste of rice...mmmm...THE local sake! It has the flavor of a local sake, but it also has a modern feel...and a sharp aftertaste! The slight bitterness is only possible with Gohyakumangoku....

Japanese>English

Just as the label says. Fresh acidity It has a low alcohol content of 12%. Even those who don't like sake can enjoy this sake! My wife says it's like drinking apple vinegar I'm drinking it like apple cider vinegar 😆.

Japanese>English

Here's the last GW drink we had It was a sake brewery I knew nothing about. This sake was sold as a summer draft sake by the Japan Meimon Shukai. It seems it was the first sake from this year to be released as a Meimon Sake Kai sake. Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture, Sake meter value +3, No. 9 yeast Citrusy aroma. The impression is that it is quite sweet and has a rich umami flavor, making it very drinkable. It is not a modern type of sake, but it is quite drinkable. A little acidic? It's hard to drink by itself... It's hard to drink if you don't drink it while eating. I was looking up information on this sake and happened to find out that a liquor store in my neighborhood has started a social networking site 😳.

It was hot today 🥵. On a day like this, it's a good time to take a look at the popular craft sakes‼️ It's not classified as sake 😅Other brewed sake: ‼️ Well, chu-hi? Cocktail? It's like a juice because of the low alcohol content 🍹It's refreshing and I like to drink it with fried food on a hot day 😋. But it's not very cosy, so I won't have it next time 😅.

Good evening, I am posting my second one. This is a new one by LIBROM ✨ on a recent private expedition to Hakata, Fukuoka. BATON TOUCH No.3 Sweet Summer and Japanese Hakka The refreshing aroma of citrus fruits, the gas from the second fermentation in the bottle is pleasant, and the bitterness and spiciness of the Japanese Hakka on the back end make it easy to drink 🍶😋😋😋. It's like a juice, but it's delicious in its own way.

Japanese>English

I will post a second one this evening. LIBROM x UNITEDARROWS x Hamadaya Sake Shop Smoothie Sour Sake Banana🍌🍌🍌 It's a craft saké called Smoothie Sour Sake, which is made by LIBROM's doburoku process with a large amount of domestic bananas. ☺️ The aroma and quality of the sake is similar to that of a plum liqueur, but the banana flavor comes through in the aftertaste. When mixed with the sedimentary layer, it turns into a thicker, thicker Doburoku. The creaminess and volume come through, but it is not at all weirdly strong, and the banana flavor is very mild and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋.

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❗️.
