(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was hot today, so I had a bottle of Dobrock. It's my first time to drink in Tokyo😙It was separated so I mixed it up and opened the bottle. It was very carbonated and I spilled a lot of water 😛 It was so fizzy it was like pouring cider into a glass. It's not too sweet and the grains of rice are delicious. It's also good on a hot day as it's chilled 😀.

Japanese>English

Looks so cool!!! 🤣LOL Not the usual goddess of ministry️. I wonder who she is: ？？？？ LOL! Compared to the standard Hanagumori Clean and refreshing👍. It's a doburoku but it's like eating a fruit. Rice dessert feeling😋. It also refreshes greasy food. The chocolate was delicious too 😚😚

Japanese>English

I carefully opened the bottle and it took about 15 minutes. It's a sake that you can eat with your eyes, with the grains of rice usually recognizable. Overall, the strong gaseous feeling gives a swooshing impression, so it's refreshing to drink. I liked it.

Last night, I was invited by a colleague from a different department and a few of us had a drink at home - 🏠️🍺 We brought our own sake, Koray🍶. Refreshing, clean, slightly dry ~✨🍶💠 Fruity aroma and texture✨ A little crisp after swallowing 😆. Super oicy ❕. Nomiyasui✨ The 4 of us finished it in no time ‼️ We enjoyed it so much!

This sake was a gift from a junior colleague (son of a liquor store owner). It has been a long time since I've had a classic, THE old man's dry sake. There is a sweetness of rice in the back, and it is refreshing. Not bad. After the sweet and juicy sake, we had a glass of So-no-Sato. Not bad. I've only been at work for a little while after the new year, but the three-day weekend is wearing on me. Sake heals me 😄.

Japanese>English

It was a gift from a junior colleague at work. I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor. It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊. It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌 I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki. The rice polishing ratio is 35%, is it the flagship sake of the brewery? It has a solid ginjo aroma, and while it is basically light and dry, it also has a mild sweetness. There is little miscellaneous taste and the mouthfeel is good. The aftertaste has a good accent of alcohol and a solid flavor. Overall, it is a good sake with a cohesive taste that makes you realize again that the alcoholic version is better for the Daiginjo class.

Rabenten is not often seen at liquor stores, but since it was at a department store, I bought it. The Yamadanishiki sake was sold out, so I chose Dewa Sanzan. It is quite gorgeous and fruity. The second half is a little spicy, but it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

This Sake is fruity, crisp and has a long aftertaste. The flavor is like a young pear with a hint of licorice. The acidity gives this a bright and full mouth feel. I am surprised at how long the finish is for this Sake.

To close out the summer. Looking back on summer. Finding the Bentsen Natsu Ginjo After all, the Bentsen suits me. It is crisp and has an indescribable sweetness. I want to call it "Benten Umami", not "Japan Blue". Yamagata's local sake.

Refreshing, crisp, dry ~ ⤴️🍶 Slightly hackneyed ✨. It's very tasty.

Japanese>English

The last stop at the Yamabusyu Sake Brewery was the 3-sake drinking corner The 7th sake in total Freaks 1 Nigori This is the one I'm used to drinking 😊. The aroma is grain flavor + yogurt type When you put it in your mouth, a slight sweetness spreads along with a gaseous feeling. Followed by the acidity. Finally, bitterness appears. The sharpness of the wine makes the aftertaste short.

Japanese>English

I smelled it on my son. It smells like a flower 😂. I gave it to my wife. It's so good! I thought it would be sweet but it has a clean aftertaste! Result! It's so good😋

Firm schwa, pizzazz. Like a sparkling wine. Soft on the palate. Fresh acidity. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees. In a four-pack bottle, it's already a full bottle.

Japanese>English

I enjoyed the innocent classic so I bought it with the intention of repeating it. Smells like lactic acid, baby formula, and uncut melon. The melon is well felt through the uninspired mouthfeel, then the shriveled, cold sweet and sour fruitiness, all gone by the time you swallow and a little astringent. Overall, refreshing. Delicious. Sweeter than Haribo. Day 3. Smells like cider. Rich fruitiness in the mouth, thin melon, pineapple? Banana? Apricot? Fruity-sourness swells, then squeezes and hydrates.

Japanese>English

Delicious and a repeat purchase! Lactic acidity, alcohol, slight grape smell. The taste is melting. Syrupy, juice-like sweet and sour, woody flavors all seem to disappear without being too sharp, leaving a lingering aftertaste after licking the candy. A little bitterness at different times. When the temperature rises, it is quite sweet. It is easy to drink at lower temperatures with a beautiful feeling. It's good. After 4 days. Amazing nectariness. Dense fruit syrup. I think I was surprised how good it tasted after some time before.

Aged wine😳 It has a strong sour taste and the image is... drinkable black vinegar😅 I have a review of this precious sake that I carefully nurtured. ⬆️(*_ _)sorry people! I hear a lot about growing it for years. I can't wait this long myself, so it's a valuable experience 😌.

Japanese>English

Good evening! Today is also from the past history. This is another drink at Gin Kura, a sake bar. The first sour sake I ever drank, Shinmasa. The first time I drank a sour sake, Shinmasa, was when I sat down at the counter. No, all I remember is that it was really good. #Gin Kura Sake Bar

Japanese>English

　　　Yamayu released a year ago, this is 😱! It's so unique that you can only drink it while licking salt from a Masu box. I can't stand the smell of wood. 🥺 Well, is this a learning experience?　I'm not sure if I'll like it when I get used to it.

The next drink was a Tokujiro for Joyo's distributor? Tokujiro I drank Joyo several times, but this was my first time to drink Tokujiro. I happened to see on a restaurant instagram I follow that Tokujiro was originally a joint product between a Hirakata liquor store and the Joyo Brewery. It's unfiltered, once-bottled, and heated. It's fire-brewed, but it's still slightly effervescent and has a fresh, mellow rice flavor that's really tasty 😋. I'll buy Tokujiro next time I see it.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Japanese>English

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.

Japanese>English

Sake tasted and purchased on the way home from a BBQ at Wakata's house This sake is a first of its kind, brewed with low glutelin and low amylose LGC Soft rice and a new yeast, Ka8. Ka8 yeast is said to be a yeast that makes sake difficult to age. It has a 4 mp flavor like muscat and melon. It also has a white wine-like flavor. The higher the temperature, the sweeter it tastes.

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!
