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 😋😋😋😋.

Lemon Acidity Citrusy Sweetness Invigorating Fruity Bitterness Umami

Bunraku 1

Bunraku 2

Bunraku 3

Peach, sourness, and a carbonation-like smell. As the temperature rises, the sugary-sweet smell and alcohol taste grows. Slightly effervescent, the fruity flavor expands as it is swirled in the mouth. It has a sense of rice, sweetness, pear-like acidity, and a mellow, bitter umami. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. Bunraku is delicious. Cheap. I will buy it again. Second day. Alcohol 16%. Not low alcohol. Fruity mouthfeel with a unique acidity, crisp and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Smells like unsweetened peaches, pool, grass, alcohol, mango. Slightly slightly carbonated, sweet juicy, zesty and uniquely sour. Good. Feels pulled in by what you ate just before. At about room temperature, it's gentle and tastes like lemon water, easy to drink and delicious. Second day. The acidity is more fruity. It is more coherent and easier to drink than yesterday's. The smell is sweet and sour.

Japanese>English

Lightly fruity smell. Tossed with a little sourness, then pear, daisy, honey lemon, grapefruit. The bitter and fruity taste, the unique acidity, and the hard water? The complex flavor of the hard water is very good, and it has a broad range of taste. The sweetness is the most obvious and refreshing. The combination of bitterness and fruity, flavorful and fruity, is addictive. None of them are overly assertive. It is so easy to drink that you gradually want to drink it in one gulp. I think I will finish it today or tomorrow!

Finally got some raw oysters so I could drink 😆. I knew it was good😁. The white wine style goes well with it😋 I felt a little sweet this time. @Kawagoe

Schwarzenegger and Refreshing Aroma: Fruity, a little foamy attack. Taste: Fresh sweetness, low acidity. It goes in smoothly and has a refreshing aftertaste. Easy to drink at ABV 13. Aperitif and instant kill. Didn't hold up to seafood 🤣.

I bought this one after tasting it with Daikoku Masamune at Yamamoto Sake Shop in Kuise and wondering about it. I had tasted Tomikunaga in the past, but this was the first time I bought it. This is a rice called Yatanso, which is used only by Tomikunaga. It has just the right amount of gas and sweetness. Not too sweet, but just the right amount. It is like the sweetness and umami of rice. Balanced type. I would like to try other types of rice.

Japanese>English

This sake is brewed by Miho Imada, who was selected as one of the "100 Women of the Year" in 2020. I've been wanting to try this sake for a long time because of its high reputation in magazines and without any special glasses. The first sip was soft and clear like water, and then I felt the sharpness. On the second sip, you can taste the umami and acidity. There is also a slight pleasant bitterness at the end. It is characterized by the softness of soft water and a clean mouthfeel with no miscellaneous flavors. And yet, it is a modern dry taste with a wide range of flavors, which I personally like very much and it's really delicious! The aroma and taste are not strong, so it doesn't seem like there is a "this" kind of weapon, but it has no peculiarities and anyone can enjoy it, so I take my hat off to its broad-mindedness. You can drink it all the time... or infinitely. I am also amazed at its wide range of defenses, going very well with greasy dishes like fried foods and crisp salads. To use a baseball player's analogy, it's like Shuta Tonosaki of the Seibu Lions, who can defend any position at a high level.

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is slightly fruity, but the aftertaste is clean. We enjoyed it very much.

The first cup of the second night. The concept of "dessert rice wine" is very true. It has an elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets. It is thick and dense, with a distant bitterness. The sharpness is not bad and the outline is clear, so it is easy to drink even though it is quite sweet. It's difficult to make an appetizer with it, but it would go well with dessert. It's perfect with grape jelly👌.

Japanese>English

Again, no rice used or major specs. It is a very low alcohol sake at 5%. Oh❗️It's really red! is my first impression. I remember drinking red sake before, but once again I thought rice is amazing. It's hard to recognize this as sake when it's served without saying anything. It's almost like a rosé wine, with a strawberry-like flavor. It's light, but I'm not sure I like the sweetness and mouthfeel. If I were served this sake at midnight, I'd be in a bit of trouble.

Japanese>English

The rice used in this is also unknown. A slightly low-alcohol type of Junmai Ginjo So far, this is the most authentic and the driest sake in the HINEMOS range. The mouthfeel is clear, light and refreshing. When you drink it, the umami-sweetness spreads out, and at the end, you can feel the bitterness and spiciness in the throat and nose, and it tightens up quickly. Yes, yes, this is my favorite type 😋. I️ want to spend more time drinking this one.

\I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Today I drank a little bit of the good stuff from Hakutsuru Shuzo 😃. I can hardly smell the aroma 🤔It has a mellow mouthfeel when you drink it 😊Delicious 😚Sweet and tasty with a hint of acidity. It's very easy to drink 😘It's very clean and light 🥰Hakutsuru Nishiki from the largest brewery is a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

Yogurt, banana, strawberry, very fruity smell. The flavor, richness and taste are modest. There is a discreet fruity pear-like taste with no cloying taste, and the alcohol and bitterness are not assertive. There is no aftertaste. The smell is very good, and you have a sense of anticipation, so when you drink it, you may wonder what it is. It is good and refreshing! The bitterness appears when served with food. Easy to drink on its own. When the temperature rises, it smells like hot spring buns.

I've been wanting to drink "Kabutomushi" for a long time. Almost no aroma? Sweet taste, good acidity...but the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome? It is certainly delicious, but...is it my favorite? Not my cup of tea. ....

Japanese>English

慎ぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐ This is the first time I had the popular beetle 😀. Almost no aroma. It's a little carbonated and a little acidic. It's a bit too refreshing and a bit lonely. It's a good sake to gulp down in summer 😀.

Japanese>English

After a night shift, I went out to hunt for kabutomushi and caught it safely😁. I've been drinking a lot of Senkou, but this is my first Kabutomushi😋. Perfect refreshment for a hot day like today🐠 As you said in your review, it's like a juice that can get you drunk 🤤 I feel good✌️. I'll definitely be getting the sparklers and red dragonflies I drank last year!

The 8th of every month is the day to make a toast with Shinshu sake🥂. I heard it's the 8th of every month 💡. That's why we decided to open a Shinshu sake 😄♪ It's midsummer midwinter sake ☀️⛄️ ✨🥂✨ Rigel and Ane-san drank this. You were drinking ❣️ It has a nice aroma like green apple🍏. It's sweet and sour and delicious 💕😋💕. I'm on the second day. I could taste the bitterness so much. I combined it with pickles against the bitterness of Yamasan. Perfect 😁👍 We enjoyed it deliciously 😋.

Japanese>English

the sweetness is amazing Aftertaste is the sweetness of white rice itself, in a good way, with the sweetness and miscellaneous taste of rice The aroma is not that great, but it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

I have the impression that they are very good at storing things in the snow. The alu and acidity are angular and mellow, but the flavor is well defined and the lemon and lactic acidity are a good match👍. I think it's the best of the Shinshu hanpukai so far, but it's an optional one.

The aroma is fruity and the taste is classic. The taste is somewhere between modern and classic. Junmai Ginjo il tuono d'autunno (autumn thunder) 　Shiga Prefecture, Ginbuki 55% polished rice, 16%. Fruity and sweet, this is a perfect modern type. Fully matured Junmai Ikinatsu Koshi Sanma 　A blend of 80% 2016 Yamahai Yamadanishiki and 20% 2019 Koshihikari 70% polished rice 17%.
