I got it as a souvenir Polishing ratio 90%. Is it too subtle at room temperature? It was delicious when heated. ☺️

Japanese>English

I think I prefer it at room temperature. It goes well with strong Japanese food.

Japanese>English

I used to drink Honored Kunimitsu Plum Wine, but this is my first time. It has a clear mouthfeel, but the flavor of lactic acid bacteria comes through. I think it's easy to drink, even for those who don't like traditional sake. I haven't tried it warmed, but it's good at room temperature or chilled.

From a junior 🎁. It's not enough to give it to a drinker. I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it. But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣. It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich. The rice flavor is concentrated. It's a sake you want to drink well.

Japanese>English

We will eat while learning about the history of the tub sales. It has a good aroma. It has sweetness, umami, and overall strength, and goes down the throat well. It is a tasty sake with a punch.

Japanese>English

It is said to be an irregular sake. The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅. The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san. Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character. The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu. I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.

This is a summer sake limited to exclusive dealers. It is made from Hiroshima Hatan Nishiki at 55% polishing ratio. It has a refreshing sweetness and It has a refreshing sweetness and a firm taste of rice. If you cool it down, it becomes more refreshing. It is the first time to drink this brand. It is a perfect taste for summer.

Japanese>English

It has a banana-type aroma. The sweetness is strong, followed by a slight bitterness and disappears. There is a slight sweet aftertaste. The acidity is not so strong, so it can be an aperitif or an aperitif. I would pair it with an after-dinner dessert.

Japanese>English

[Memorandum]. The third sake is from Hiroshima. Ichidai Yayama. It has a yellowish color and the smell is also bothersome. I can't drink a lot of this.

A little dry. But delicious. You can feel the flavor of sake rather than fruity. I️ got drunk while I was thinking about what to have for a snack.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second one in the Hokkaido series. Kokushi Muso is a metaphor for being so good that no two people under the sun are alike. I was expecting it to have a strong alcoholic taste, but I was betrayed in a good way. It has a fruity aroma and a refreshing, clean taste that goes well with any meal. I think I'll end up drinking too much of it. But the words "Hokkaido Limited" are magic. I feel like I got a great deal just from this word.

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Hokkaido rice Kitshizuku Rice polishing ratio : 55 Sake meter : +3 Acidity: 1.7 Alcohol content: 17-18%. Sold at: Takasago Shuzo (Asahikawa City) When opened, it has a gaseous feeling. Almost no gas Slightly alcoholic grape-like top note The aroma is like light grapes and peaches, the umami of rice and gentle sweetness spreads with soft acidity, and it finishes with a hint of bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness. The aroma and sweetness are mild, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, giving it a mildly juicy impression. It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It went well with crispy grilled chicken (salted and teriyaki flavors), turnip and chicken in cream sauce.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.

先月池亀を飲んで黒兜も飲んでみたいなー🙄なんて投稿をしていたのですが、次の日の青山三河屋のインスタに黒兜入荷の告知が😂 早速買ってまいりました。この時期限定の生酒で最近流行りの白麹でも紅麹でもなく黒麹を使っているそうです。上立ち香はほんのりイチゴのシロップ🍓のような甘い香り。口に含むと綺麗な酸味に透明感のある甘味と旨味。仄かな甘味を感じながらスッとキレていく感じ。池亀のお酒は2本目ですが、ここのお酒は透明感をすごく感じますね。美味しかったです🍶✨🐢

I bought this sake to try a sake from Shinshu, a region I was not familiar with. After purchasing it, I checked the label on the back to see what the specs were. ⁉️...no label. It looks like it was removed 😅. Takizawa is a mysterious sake. It had a clear sweetness with a strong rice flavor and a nice aroma 😆.

😄 Uhihihihi. The picture in the middle is Takizawa. I found this sake at a liquor store but thought "maybe another time" so I'm drinking it. I don't know what "Nakaguchi" means, but to me it feels sweet and, well, it's also delicious. Nagano sake is really good, I thought.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. So-called "craft saké" sake. The only ingredient is rice malt. It is sweet and sour with white malted rice. It is sweet and sour, but it has a fruity taste and I like it better than other sakes made with white malted rice.

Japanese>English

LAGOON BREWERY's Shozora Mori no SAKE - Kuromoji Doburoku. It is said to be mixed with a herb called kuromoji, and it certainly smells not like doburoku. Is it the aroma? It may be the smell of aroma? It is a sake with a new sensation.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we are opening our second bottle 💪. Shozora Drunken Melon 2023BY🍈🍈🍈🍈🍈. LAGOON, which has been making a name for itself in craft saké Brewery, who has been making a name for themselves in craft saké, is finally opening their first bottle at our house✨. Let's start with the top clear. The aroma is of melon🍈, but there is a sweet smell of baked goods 🍪 on the palate as well. It's like drinking pudding caramel or bitter chocolate liqueur 🍫. When the lees of doburoku is mixed well, the texture of mashed rice and creaminess is added and the sweet liqueur mentioned earlier is a little gentler but well, sweet. It's a dessert sake, but it looks delicious with soda or something 🙌

A drinking friend of mine wanted to drink a bottle of Takezuru by Toshi Ishikawa, who has moved to Tsuki no I. So I agreed to accompany him. We had it heated. The first aroma is like a matured Shaoxing sake. The first sip had a matured Shaoxing sake-like aroma, and the second had a mildly sweet taste with a Shaoxing sake-like acidity and umami. The sweetness is still there, but it's the kind of fully fermented sake that you can drink while eating snacks. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Japanese>English

I've been saving it for over 2 years because it's my favorite brand, but I've decided to open it up. I'm going to enjoy changing the flavor slowly from here ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it in, the aroma is like sweet baked sweets like sponge cake or kawara senbei. The mouthfeel is round and robust. It is round and robust on the palate, with a punch of spiciness and a tangy sourness. It also has a rich, thick flavor and a sweetness that spreads gradually. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter is exquisite, not just strong and heavy, and the taste has a wide range of deep flavors, including a confectionery, grain, and rice feel! This is the second brand that has really caught my attention after "Akagisan," and I am very happy with it. It is a bit pricey, but I would like to try the sake made from the original sake yeast if I see it 😌.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ I would love to drink the whisky Takezuru, but the sake Takezuru. This is probably my first time. Unlike the aroma, the taste is strong and robust. But it is surprisingly easy to drink. It smells a little like alcohol, but it is delicious.

Kansai Sake-new Year's Party (5) The label doesn't say, but there must have been a nama-shu sticker on it. More refreshing and easier to drink than the ones I've had in the past. I don't think I would buy it myself because it's pretty dry if you look at the sake level 🙄.

Japanese>English

It is a Kikumori Junmai-shu (Junmai sake) intoxicating. It is rather refreshing, light, and easy to drink. Is the Kikumori feeling weak?
