This is the Ageha no Mai Junmai Sake Gin no Sato. It is a sweet and delicious sake with a mild fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.
Japanese

English
The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet. The taste is soft sweetness with a hint of umami on top. It is a beautiful tasting food sake. Everyone drank it with smiling faces. It was delicious! (^O^)

At home. This is the first time I have had Concept Workers Selection, Aged Sake. When I poured it into a glass, it was slightly colored, and the aroma had a strong liquor feel to it. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a tingling sensation all over your tongue, and the alcohol that passes through your nose is very strong. I don't know if it's because I've heard it's an aged sake, but for some reason it feels like whiskey in the throat. This is the impression I got right after opening the bottle. I'd like to savor it slowly and carefully. On the second day, the fruity aroma and the mouthfeel became mellow.

Nice to meet you sake With a refreshing aroma, pleasantly slight effervescence, and a clear throat, this is a sake that fills your mouth and makes you want to sip it in one quick gulp. Accompanied by grilled Spanish mackerel with miso

This is the second one today at the party! Purchased at the usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 720ml 📌 ¥1,595 The aroma is fruity, the color is beautiful, and the mouthfeel is again clean and easy to drink 👍I can taste a little bitterness a little later, but I don't dislike it💕. It goes down smoothly and smoothly. It's great 😋 and the pace is very fast 😋. I'm glad my mother-in-law enjoyed it! My daughter in Tokyo joined us online and it's a really fun party 💕. I am so happy💕!

At the traveling SAKE in Hankyu Department Store. It is made from Yumesasara. The sake is fresh like a fresh sake. It is delicious with a fruity sweetness that is not too sweet.
Japanese

English
Buy at Asahikawa Marushin Shoten The rice used is Yumesasara from Tochigi prefecture. It is a low alcohol type, but it has a moderate sweetness, and as expected from an unpasteurized sake, it has a crisp taste. The acidity is also a bit like white wine, so it can be used with western food. It is an all-round food sake. It is the first time to drink Sawahime, so it is difficult to evaluate only this one, but it is an interesting brewery!

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 😋.

☀️ 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❣️🤗

At home. This was a gift from my wife, who had been watching my daily posts on Sake-no-wa, as she was addicted to sake. I was happy to receive this gift, but at the same time, I wondered if it was safe to order it online. I have to admit that I was a little concerned. After taking some commemorative photos, I was ready to try it. The aroma was fruity. When I put it in my mouth, it had a fresh, slight carbonation, a strong sourness and sweetness, and a strong bitterness at the end, making it very easy to drink. I thought to myself that continuing to drink will produce various effects, and I will continue to enjoy my life of drinking.

Snowy Matsushima, a gift This type of sake comes in a box with an ostentatious string tied around the neck of the bottle. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but there is a sense of bitter alcohol in the back. The mouthfeel is clean, sweet and delicious, with a clear sake quality and no unpleasant alcohol taste, making it a quintessential expensive sake. It also has a nice sharpness from the mild bitterness. It was a treat!

When I go to this liquor store, I can't stop looking at different things. There are both hi-seasoned and draft Morishima's Omachi and Yamadanishiki, and there are several Nozomis... In the end, I narrowed it down to one bottle and chose this one. This is the first time I drink Koshinohomare at home. As for the rice, some stores say they use Takananishiki and others say Koshikagura, but which is it? Fresh, gassy and fruity. Juicy, like apple or pineapple. I was surprised at how delicious it was.

This Sake is bright and flavorful. There is a sweetness followed by the tartness of grapefruit. There is also a hint of banana. The acidity gives this a short and clean finish. Brilliant! 😁
Junmai-Ginjo sake with 50% polishing ratio This sake is brewed by blending Kyokai 1801 and the original ginjo yeast, Kyokai 901. It has a fruity, gorgeous aroma and a pleasant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Delicious! The label is said to have been designed with a snowflake "Grandpa Sujimaki" of the famous mountain, Yoneyama, which announces the rice planting season in Kashiwazaki, on a label with a texture of textiles associated with the hemp and silk textiles that are famous in Echigo. Stylish!

Tonight, we have a first in the series, this one from the Higashitsuru Sake Brewery in Saga Prefecture. It seems to be a 🌸🍶 spring sake, but I'll have it in delay mode as usual😅. From the opening of the bottle, it has a gorgeous acidity and a nice greenish pineapple aroma 🍍☺️ The top clear layer is sweet and acidic and juicy, but the second half is characterized by bitterness, making it easy to drink 😋. The sake rice is different, but I think the quality is similar to that of Hana-yosuyu. Saga still has a lot of good sake 🥳.

After drinking Shikishima about a month ago, I became interested in Fukumochi Sake Brewery (Tenga Nishiki) who helped me with Shikishima Sake Brewery! I looked up where they sold it and was surprised to find a special distributor near me 😲. I ended up buying three different kinds! It's like a muscat with a standing aroma! The first sip gives the impression of being rich, but the mouthfeel is clear. I didn't taste much sweetness. The rich taste is followed by the umami of the rice, which is also heavy and robust. There is a slight alcohol aftertaste. The bitterness is also moderate~! If I have a chance, I'd like to try the raw sake.

This is my first time drinking Tenka Nishiki ✨This is delicious 😋It has a gentle sweetness, a good amount of gas, a moderate aroma, a subtle bitterness in the second half, and a nice sharpness👍. Today I had a seafood bowl with spring sea urchin from Okhotsk, scallops from Eruption Bay, and Miyagi Miyagi salmon! Ahhhh, delicious! ‼️

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.

Smells like oil clay and green apple. Peach syrup and slight effervescence, with a hint of rice flavor, a little sourness, and a little bitterness. The initial impact of sweetness is followed by spiciness. It permeates the palate. It is delicious. I want to go to the brewery to buy it directly!
