Bought in Aizu (No.1) This is the first time to buy this brand. It was delicious and had a Junmai-shu feel to it.

Japanese>English

The rice is Fukunokou. This is also not found in Kansai, so I bought it. The aroma is slightly pineapple. It is fruity but a little dry and refreshing. Slight sweetness. I was told it was dry, but I didn't feel it was that dry. It's light, but it may not be enough for some people.

We enjoyed it very 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.

This is what I'll be doing tonight to support the recovery. Refreshing, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨. I love the slight sourness. Praying for a speedy recovery, I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

(Translated from Japanese by 🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we got some Onogawa from the sake we bought in Akita Prefecture 😀 I almost bought the label 😭. The aroma is a mature ginjo aroma 😚 When you drink it, you can feel a slight gasiness, and the sweetness and a little bit of strong acidity give it a good balance 🤔It's a delicious sake 😙 It's a good sake that quickly runs out after passing through the nose 😄.

Japanese>English

It was the first time to drink Dainogawa at home. There were various cute labels, and I chose the heart label after a little hesitation. It has a nice sweet aroma like strawberries and peaches. One sip and it is sweet! It is delicious! It's very strong! This is my favorite one. I would say it can be served as a food wine, but I prefer to drink it by itself slowly 😁. And finally ❤️ appeared on my schedule 🙌I didn't know the rules and was kinda thinking I should check in 5 days in a row 🧐, but it already appeared on my calendar the day after checking in 4 days in a row😳. By the way, this check-in made my heart disappear again... Hmmm, I don't know.

My parents-in-law gave me this sake as a souvenir from Tanba Sasayama. It's a completely unknown brand, so I was very nervous when I opened the bottle. Maybe it's because we've been drinking a lot of autumn sake lately, but it's surprisingly refreshing 😳 You can drink it easily without getting stuck. It has a faint sourness and a spiciness that comes afterwards, and then it goes away quickly. It's a sake made with clean water that goes well with all kinds of food. We enjoyed it with pork kimchi and horse mackerel sashimi. I want to drink it carefully, but it will probably be gone in two days☺️.

I'm drinking at home ♬ A souvenir from Arima Onsen from a friend! Thanks 👏. It has been a while since I have tasted a light flavor. I've been on a sweet streak, so this is good too!

Japanese>English

The one we got. This is a decansho-bushi, it seems. The flavor comes in slowly and flows gently through to the aftertaste.

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

KATSURAGAWA, which had been laid up for about a year and a half. It's too early to tell, but I'm looking forward to a summer sake on the rocks, and this time I'll have a glass of the standard warmed sake 🍶. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was freshly cooked and fluffy, like rice cakes or rice. It is a four-step glutinous rice brewing process. The mouthfeel is smooth like Gunma sake, but gradually a gentle and deep sweetness like sugar or spuds spreads gradually. When heated, it has a full-bodied, rice-like flavor. The sweetness is not too strong, but rather relaxing. Perfect for enjoying in the colder months. The sweetness itself is more subdued than the normal type, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy the cleanliness that is typical of Gunma sake, which is a good balance!

Japanese>English

As the summer is drawing to a close (the heat is still on), I opened a bottle of "Katsuragawa" sake on the rocks, which I was looking forward to drinking again this year! And the back of the bottle is falling apart due to condensation again😇. When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and fluffy, typical of "Katsuragawa". It is a bit sour and comes in through the nose as if it is cold on the rocks. The mouthfeel has a pettiness by default, but on the rocks it is smooth and silky. It has a fluffy aroma like sweet rice crackers and a syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. As the ice melts, it becomes lighter and more enjoyable ✨. The lingering finish has a slightly tangy, spicy acidity and a tropical fruitiness, and the smart finish keeps the saké going! While listening to the chirping of autumn insects 🍶. I think it's time to open a bottle of "Akagisan" summer sake!

This is the first time I've drunk this since they changed the label design. Mild but fruity. It has a calm feeling. It has a melon-like atmosphere. Deep and juicy.

This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

Japanese>English

Longing! Going to Sakelabo Tokyo (^_^)☆. I'm going to go to Sakaelabo Tokyo. (2) Jukishin Ehime's sake, is it your first time? What the heck, I don't remember much lol. Maybe I ( '-')swooned ⤴︎ and drank it naturally.

Good evening! 😀 It's June and the weather is like a cold rainy season, so I don't know what to wear 😅. Tomorrow, it's going to be 2 degrees lower than today. I wonder if the weather will continue to be so bad 😱. The general meeting at the end of last month was held at a local grand hotel, and the sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai from the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery. The sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai by Kikunoji Sake Brewery. It is not sticky-sweet, but rather light and easy to drink. If the sake is not made with the same level of care and attention as the all-you-can-drink sake, more and more people will leave the sake industry, and short-term tricks will not be effective these days. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you 😁.

Japanese>English

Good evening! I'm sorry to hear that 🙋 ... Too many things are happening today 😓 that often make me depressed. Is it because of the not so good news? I have to be careful not to be dragged down. I attended an event at Tsushima Tsuru last weekend. The event featured a rice farmer in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture, who grows rice mainly for sake rice, called "Sunakabe. The first toast was actually a junmai daiginjo made in Hawaii, shown in the fourth photo. What kind of sake is made by providing rice to a brewery in Hawaii? I thought to myself, as I toasted President Kudo of Washio Co! I followed with a sip. Oh my, it has an honest, soft, sweet taste. I wouldn't go to Hawaii to buy it, but I was a bit surprised that it tasted so good in a different environment. Next was the super dry Nanafukujin. It is said to be a bottle that pursues sharpness, and it is indeed light and dry, but you can also taste the delicious flavor of the rice. It was a bit of a surprise to me! 😁

Japanese>English

☀️ The sake rice is Yui no Kou🌾. It has a subtle sweetness and a delicious rice flavor. ☺️ It is smooth on the palate and has a nice clean finish. Although it is labeled "super dry", it is easy to drink with a hint of sweetness 🤗. I thought the word "dry" was an old type of sake 🧐.

The sake rice is rice rice Sasanishiki. It was recommended to me by the owner of the sake shop I usually go to. It is tangy and spicy at first, and then a mildly sweet taste spreads in the mouth. It was delicious. 1,650 yen.

Since I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake. The aroma is faintly muscat-like. The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle. The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense! The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.
