Long time no see Machida Sake Brewery... Aroma: sweet fruity rice flavor... Mouth: sweet, pleasantly bitter, sharp! So fresh! It has a sharpness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku....it can be enjoyed on its own....but today I'm sipping it with "Mackerel Sashimi"....it goes well with the fat of Mackerel....delicious....

Japanese>English

My favorite Machida Sake Brewery...and OMACHI...my absolute favorite! The aroma is sweet and fruity from the omachi......and the mouthfeel is sweet and crisp with a nice aftertaste......this sake exceeded my expectations...! It's delicious.......it doesn't betray me.......

Japanese>English

Fruity and sweet aroma like pear...gasiness like only direct pumping can give.... Fresh...a moderate bitterness from the sweet taste typical of the Machida brewery...delicious enough to drink on its own...I'm sipping it with a side dish of assorted fish directly from the port of Yawatahama...it goes well with white fish! Sea bream, black porgy, burdock root, red sea bream, white sea bream, mmmm...sea bream is delicious 😋!

I'm not feeling well, so I've been trying to cut back on my drinking, but a classmate from junior high school, who I haven't seen in a while, invited me out for a drink and I ended up having one. Oh well. I found a nice bottle of Naotora and had it. It's so good that I remember it tastes good even when I'm drunk. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, but the freshness is dominant and the flavor is good. Isn't the difference between it and the ordinary Naotora too drastic?

Japanese>English

I drink at a restaurant where young people seem to congregate. The owner, who says he is a big fan of Koyama Shoten, introduces us to some Koyama Shoten originals. Next to Tamitsu is Naotora. This is a brand that is not often drunk by individuals. So I can't compare this one with the regular version, but it was delicious. It was a little bit tangy.

Japanese>English

Another bottle opened for Valentine's Day🥂. It's been waiting in the fridge for a while. I'm a little worried... It's sweet and fruity with a strong flavor. But the bitterness afterwards is quite strong. ‼︎ And a little bit of hiney aroma... "The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and flavor is very popular. The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and umami is very popular". I was a bit disappointed in this one 😓.

Enjoy cheap sushi at Totoro, a popular standing sushi bar under the elevated railway tracks of Himeji Station. Although it is a stand-up style sushi bar, there is always a long line of customers because of the high quality of the food. Since I was there, I asked for a local sake, Yaegaki. It was not sweet, but it was not dry either. It was about medium spicy. I am not talking about curry. I had it cold, but I feel it is all-around good at room temperature or hot. It's great for a kotteri type of stuff.

Japanese>English

- ̗̀(˶^Insertion'˶)b🍶🍶🍶🍶+ On the second day of our GW trip, we went to Himeji Castle Mountains. Himeji Castle, a national treasure, was well worth seeing 😃. For souvenirs, we went to Yaegaki's store at Himeji Station 😄I bought a limited edition special junmai recommended to me ✨. The aroma is fresh and muscat-like 😚The taste is fresh and the acidity comes forward and is refreshing ✨It has a nice sharpness 😊I felt like it would be a delicious sake for the summer 🥳.

It was the first time I had this wine in 4 years. The last time I had this sake, I had an image that it was hard and acidic, but this time it was gorgeous and soft. It is a good sake on its own, but it also works well as an in-between-dinner drink.

Japanese>English

As a glasses person, I bought them. I had high expectations because my past glasses have been delicious. Yup! Delicious! It has a nice gassy feeling, gentle sweetness and sourness! It's as clear as my vision when I put on my glasses! I don't have presbyopia! I just have trouble seeing small letters up close!

Japanese>English

This is the original glasses-only version of Hagi no Tsuru, which I have been after since last year. All family members are glasses users, so they are qualified to drink it. Sweet aroma like peach or apple. Fruity mouthfeel. It was my favorite sake with a strong acidity. Pairing: Hamamatsu gyoza, Himeji oden, eggplant cod roe butter, egg hanpen,

Return Series. With the concept of "to the world", alcohol 12℃. It's something I've been curious about because of my perception that it's an emerging force in Niigata. It's a white wine taste. Almost a white wine. The sourness of the wine was so strong that I gave up on it.

Japanese>English

A 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo, Meguro Gorosuke, from Tama Flavor in Uonuma City (formerly Morimon Village), Niigata Prefecture. As is typical of Uonuma sake, it is a ginjo-shu that is not overly aromatic. I remember drinking it once at Tatsuya, a yakiton (grilled pork dumpling) restaurant in Numabukuro on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.

Japanese>English

Lighter than expected, sour, sweet and ricey. I was worried before drinking it because it had quite a bit of color, but I was relieved to see the explanation on the back label. The Tama Flavor brewery is known for its regular brand, Tama Flavor, which is a light, dry sake that is the king of Uonuma, but they also brew Itkey and 46°C Echigo-Bushi (Samurai), which I recognized once again as a brewery with a very sharp personality.

I've been wanting to try this for a long time, so I got a bottle of Sakyami. The aroma is citrusy and fruity, and the taste is sweet with a slight fizz. The balance of sourness and bitterness is exquisite...similar to Machida Shuzo? This dangerous sake is 100% Miyamanishiki...delicious...I want to try the other Sakyamishiki!

Japanese>English

Every time I went to the store, the staff kept asking me, "How do you like Sakuyami?" and I finally buy it ❗️ I listen to what the shopkeeper says, it's delicious 😊. The moment you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads, and soon it has a slightly stronger acidity and a pleasant petitiveness, I think it is OK both on its own and as a mealtime drink. I thought it was a combination of Hanahayo and Shinsei colors. This is my personal opinion, so please forgive me if you like HanayoYoku or Shinsei. I would like to try other Sakiyami as well 😋.

Japanese>English

☀️ First time drinking sakijabi ✨ in the fridge for a little over a month in the fridge for a little over a month😅. It is 100% Miyan Nishiki🌾 The top clear... I've been drinking it for a little over a month now. I'm sure you'll like it. I can't believe it. It's so easy to drink! If you mix it, you still get the alu feeling and what's more... The texture is deep but not heavy 🙂 . The bitterness is light and refreshing... no, it's good✨. Next time when I'm sober😢. I'm looking forward to tasting this one again❣️🤗

The freshly squeezed aroma... The sourness is strong on the palate, and there is a bitter aftertaste... Is it because it is freshly squeezed? It's a little rough. It's a good choice to drink with tuna and squid sashimi.

Japanese>English

The first Kinokuniya Bunzaemon! It has the fresh aroma of unpasteurized sake and a smooth, non-viscous mouthfeel. When you drink it, the spiciness comes quickly, but in the end, it disappears, leaving the flavor of rice and a lingering aftertaste. It has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees, which makes it very drinkable, but it is also very refreshing and tasty.

Japanese>English

Here's another one that was given to me. The aroma of the sake is very alcoholic. The taste is sweet and delicious. The aroma is the sake! You can feel a little acidity and bitterness in the finish. I think it is a bottle with a moderate heaviness in total. The taste is similar to that of Kadoden from among the already-checked-in products. The efficacy report says it is good at room temperature to warmed sake. It's a solid sake, so it's best not to chill it too much. It's good for summer! It was not a good one! Thank you for the food!

For a mellow aroma, Fruity sweetness. Compared to "Daishinshu", It has a clean aftertaste, It has a more refined taste.

Limited brand of Daishinshu: 🇯🇵 Buy it during your pilgrimage to the Holy Land✨. Only about 10 dealers carry this brand. You can find anything in the Holy Land........ 🤣. The ginjo aroma is green apple 🍏. It's been a long time since I've had a Daishinshu, but we share the same aroma 😤. I wonder if the sake rice is Hitogokochi or Miyamanishiki? (→ later I checked and it was Hitogochiki 😳) The balance of sweetness and umami, and then acidity to finish is perfect🤣.
