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?)

Yogurt, citrus acidity, and rosemary. In other words, the creaminess of cheesecake.

The aroma is sweet like amazake, and the taste is sweet and easy to drink! I'm sure it will lead to the creation of a new demand.......and I'm enjoying drinking it with homemade vinegared mackerel and homemade spring rolls that I caught........

I've been wanting to try some nigori sake lately 😆. I saw it in the store yesterday, went to buy it today, and was supposed to open it tomorrow... but I couldn't wait, so I opened it today and drank it 😅! There are many nigorizakes out there, but this one is Junmai! It has a nice crackle and a nice "umami and gentle sweetness" of the rice 😻🎉. Originally I was thinking of the 3x Domu from the same brewery, but I was so taken with the Junmai that I decided to go with this one. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that, but I'm sure I'd be able to do it.

Japanese>English

Sake filled only with Domuro-roasted rice. Slightly effervescent. It has a rich sweetness, but the alcohol taste is a little strong at the end.... The official online store of Endo Sake Brewery is formatted like a mail order site for health foods and supplements 🤣. Maybe it tastes better at higher temperatures? Nutty and caramel type sweetness comes out.

The clerk at the liquor store recommended this sake to me if I liked it sweet. Indeed, it was a perfect strike! My partner and I said in unison, "Delicious! I said in unison. At first, the sourness is strong and tingling, but when you swallow it, the aroma of rice escapes from your nose, and there is a faint sweet aftertaste. If you are not a fan of sake, this is a sake you should try. Wakaha Shuzo is the best!

Sweet! Rich! Easy to drink with little to no aftertaste!

Aged one year 🍶. A blend of Fukunoka x Yumenoka x Omachi✨. I don't really feel the sense of maturity, It has a mild and calm taste. Best served lukewarm 😋.

Japanese>English

This is my first brand of sake: ❗️ A blend of Yumeko, Fukunoka and Omachi ‼️ I can't imagine what it tastes like🤔. No aroma, gentle taste but you can feel the richness as it passes down your throat❗️ It has no particular quirks and has a cohesive taste. I enjoyed drinking it 😊.

Japanese>English

I was called to work in Tokyo. I don't like cities. The National Diet building is beautiful with gingko trees in full color. I was surprised that it didn't smell like ginkgo. It is as expected. I went to a restaurant whose name I remember for the first time in a long time. There are a lot of gingko nuts, so I chose the ones I don't think I would buy by myself. Oh, it's full and sweet. It has a nice sharpness👍It has a nice Fukushima feel to it.

A summer-only light nigori (nigori is a light, unadulterated sake). The alcohol content is light at 9 degrees. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The bottle and labeling are stylish. You can enjoy sake in a fashionable way.

Japanese>English

Beau Michelle's light nigori 😍✨ discovered by accident in Osaka. I didn't think I'd be able to drink this this year❗️I bought it right away❗️ I'll be back in a few days! It's almost overflowing with the sizzle 😮️❗️ It's fruity like a fruit wine on the palate⁉️Is this really sake? It's 9% and 500ml, so naturally I finished it in one night🤣.

Japanese>English

Sweet 👊 Really Sake ⁉️ Sake that is not like sake in a good way😊.

It's just the two of us on the second day of our trip. We started the day with a beer toast! After the second beer, my wife had beer and I had sake, cold yesterday and hot this time! I think it was the highest temperature! Not much aroma. Not much aroma, but the mouthfeel is clean and easy to drink without getting stuck in your throat! It was a perfect match for a kaiseki meal. It was a hit with my wife. By the way, our trip to Izu was the same as last year! The hot springs are great!

On the first day of GW, the 29th, I purchased sake that goes well with meat 🥩. It's a collaboration product of Kumamoto's sake brewery "Zuitaka" and "Gullitcheu Fukushima" wrote the label. It's a dark, strong tasting sake that goes well with meat 👍️. I forgot to take a picture but the char-grilled chicken sold as a set is really hard 🤣. I have only a calendar day off, but I work on Saturday even though it's the first day of GW. I opened 3 bottles in a flash 👍️.

Purchased on a business trip to Tokyo to try it. Almost a year later, I finally opened the bottle. It is sweet, with a hint of acidity, maybe the work of wine yeast. Finally, the rice flavor tastes like Koshihikari from Tango. Bats for sure. The 22nd year was brewed with Italian rice called Carnaroli, which I wanted to drink.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

2017BY. Slightly pungent, with a delicious twinge of umami. It has a slightly bitter taste, but it comes together nicely.

Japanese>English

Okayama Prefecture. Niimi City. Sanko Masamune Co. Sanko Tenpyo Yamahai Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Omachi Michihiro Yamauchi's sake was also hard to get my hands on because of the gutsy, robust image of his sake, following in the footsteps of Katsumasa Takagaki, the toji of the company. We had it cold. The color is a little yellowish. The aroma is sweet, with a lactic acid-like fermentation aroma of Yamahai. The mouthfeel is smooth, smooth, and heavy. The taste is mild at first, but then the juicy lactic acid acidity is strongly felt, with a burnt caramel-like flavor and a heavy grain-like flavor. The aroma on the nose is softly apricot. The flavor is carried through to the aftertaste, and the end result is a very strong and strong alcohol taste. It seems to be good warmed up, so it's time for a visit to Nonbei Yokocho. It was warmed up to human body temperature or lukewarm at first, with a very mild and mellow acidity. The chocolatey taste was gradually revealed, and the umami was mellow and easy to drink without too much alchohol. The mild sourness of the sake warmed up, it became dry and crispy on the tongue. I really like it warmed to human skin or lukewarm. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 18%.

I got a bottle of Senkyu's "Kirifuri" on a business trip to Utsunomiya the other day...fruity aroma, strong acidity and bitterness? It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and a strong bitterness. I think it's a good sake for a meal...I had sardine nigiri and on the second day, I had yakitori as a side dish...I feel this sake is better when the bottle is opened. It has some peculiarities...but...it's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is a piece of bread I bought on my way back from a trip to Kirifuri Kogen. I thought it was the perfect name for a souvenir, but I was surprised to find it was made by Senkou 😳. I've been storing it at room temperature for a while now because it's been heat-treated. But I thought it would be better to drink it cold, so I put it in the fridge and drank it. The best thing about this product is that it has the gas and acidity that I like, even if it has been heated.

Japanese>English

It's always a repeat drink: ❗️ It's a four-pack, but I'd buy it by the square if it were available 😤 lol It's tart and delicious✨
