This is the second bottle of Hoshisen I bought in Nara! Slightly effervescent, rich sweetness like lychee. It has a slightly dry atmosphere and is sweeter than the No. 5 yeast. It also has a burnt candy-like taste. I wish there were more stores where I could buy it.

Japanese>English

Yesterday I went to a brewery in Agui-cho, Aichi Prefecture and purchased this sake. This sake is the new sake of the month. The sake rice is Aichi rice (Wakamizu Aichi no Kaori). The sake was easy to drink with a gentle sweetness and a light, refreshing taste. It tasted better than expected. 1,595 yen.

Japanese>English

The bitterness, sourness, and sweetness are absorbed into the throat.

Japanese>English

Nara's summer sake❣️ This is a summer version of Hyakurakumon, a famous sake of Gosho along with Kaze no Mori and Shinomine, made with rice outside the standard range and labeled on the back 😋. It looks cool and smells like melon 🍈. Refreshing, mellow, mildly dry ❣️. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink 😋😋. It's a jungin spec, but at 1,300 yen for a four-pack, it's easy on the wallet 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 🙏.

At the end of last year, my wife picked out a bottle for me to drink once in a while. I wanted to have something to drink sometimes ✨. A liqueur made with Shizooka mandarins 🍊 You can't feel the alcohol at all! It's just the pulp of the mandarin oranges and the sweetness of the honey. If you don't call it alcohol, you'll think it's a normal juice. If you don't call it alcohol, you'll think it's a normal juice and drink it😊.

720ml ¥1,925 Thanks again for your hard work this week😃. It's been a while since I've been to Ume-chan 😁Kaze-no-mori and Mimuro-sugi are the big two, but they're definitely the best breweries ✨. I found a store that has a good selection as well as Toichi, so I'll be drinking a lot from now on 😄! Very sweet, sour and juicy 😆 Light and easy to drink, very good 😋. I'm going to enjoy this one over the next few days to see how it changes.

Japanese>English

The other is Umenoyado. When the bottle is opened, it has a gentle, soft, sweet aroma like anko or Japanese sweets. The mouthfeel is also soft and pleasant. The sweetness, spiciness, acidity, and astringency in the flavor are not all prominent, and the mild sake quality is also reminiscent of Fushimi sake, with its delicious and refined taste! It has a light rice flavor reminiscent of Miyamanishiki, and is a delicious sake that can be served on its own or with food ✨. It's raining unfortunately, but I'm off to explore Nara in the morning for the first time in about 10 years 🦌.

At home. My first Kamo Nishikishu. Almost no aroma. Slightly carbonated and alcoholic in the mouth. It has acidity and umami, but the bitterness is strong at the end. I'll try to warm it up a little and see if the taste changes after tomorrow.

Japanese>English

It is undiluted but low alcohol. 13 degrees alcohol by volume. A moderate tingling of gas. The sweetness of the rice is refreshing and sharp. It goes well with nabe dishes.

(#´AKAKAKU`#)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first Kamo Kanehide 😋. The aroma is mild 🤔The mouthfeel is gaseous, with a beautiful umami and refreshing sweetness, and the finish is fresh and acidic to finish it off 😊. It was a delicious sake that made me want to drink more and more 🥳.

I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️. This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️. I'm not sure what to make of it. I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆. I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰 I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )

Japanese>English

Lightly nigori sounds good✨. But surprise, surprise! It's slightly spicy, yellowish, dry, and richly dark😳! This brewery, Okura in Nara, has a unique personality🎵.

Japanese>English

I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record. Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout. It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature. The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.

My favorite Yamori 😍Yamori has been delicious since New Year's 🍶...Hachitanishiki-like fruity rice with a sweet aroma and a fresh mouthfeel...light and refreshing...then sharp! It doesn't disturb the taste of the Setsume...I can't help but drink too much...YAMORISHIGE is delicious....

Japanese>English

Junmai Oragami from my favorite 😘yamori! Personally, I like Hachitan-nishiki...the sweet bitterness of the first swallow...the moderate bitterness and sharpness of the aftertaste...exquisite...delicious...delicious! It's not for beginners, is it? This is good for sake lovers!

Japanese>English

I love "Yamori" (😋)🦎♪ Sweet fruity aroma of rice, sweet taste, good acidity & bitterness....Hachitan Nishiki is exceptional....excellent balance of sweetness, acidity & bitterness, good aftertaste....I think it's a winner in my book! ...It goes well with seasonal firefly squid (🦑) & fresh bonito (🐟) dishes as snacks......it's a "winner" in my opinion....

Refreshing, crisp, fruity 🌸🍶✨ Mild on the palate🎵 When you hold it in your mouth, it feels crisp on your tongue ✨. When you swallow it, it's sharp and dry at the back of your throat~⤴️😊. The balance between fluffy and crisp is zetsumyo 😆. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

[Buy direct from Chisa Aoki🤩] I bought this bottle from Chisa Aoki, the eldest daughter of the brewery, at a sales event at Ikebukuro Seibu the week before last. It was great to meet a celebrity in the industry 😆. I couldn't taste it because of this time of year, but I was able to smell a few different scents and chose this label as my favorite ✌️. It's a Hitachinishiki Junmai Ginjo aged for almost 2 years at very low temperature, and it's the first label to be sold this year. The aroma is grape 🍇-like, which is the reason why I decided to buy it, and when you put it in your mouth, the beautiful sweetness and full-bodied flavor will fill your mouth. The aftertaste is crisp and spicy with a unique aroma that makes it a fun sake to drink😄. This is a must drink for those who are allergic to aged sake as well as Ousachi ❗❗ I should have bought this in a bottle 😅.

Japanese>English

It's gassy and schwaggy. The aroma is quite fruity. The aroma is quite fruity, and the taste is refreshing, somewhere between dry and sweet. I have the impression that it hits the perfect balance between dry and sweet. The impression of "Gohkei-shiki" has been improved. I can't drink it because I don't usually see it 😅.

No.12, Makiki. This Kyuneki dry sake was from the famous Takachiyo Brewery 😳. I had no idea 💦. When I tried it, oh my! Nice sake✨! Sharpened and clear, followed by umami and dryness 💪. Light but powerful 💪. Goes well with fish 🐟.

Japanese>English

GW has been too hot. It's over 30 degrees Celsius again today 😱. So, I wanted to drink a crisp sake, so I opened a bottle. I wanted to try Makiki. If Takachiyo is good, Makiki must be good too, right? Yes, it is good. It has an apple aroma and a bit tangy. It's a refreshing adult cider-like sake with a moderate sweetness. It is a perfect drink for when the weather is getting hotter.

Morishima Sake Brewery. "Make the time you spend drinking sake a happier time." Nice words 🎵. It's a refreshing sake with a delicious rice flavor. It also has a refreshing taste. Thanks to the owner's courteous service, I will have another cup tonight.

Morishima Shuzo Fuji-Taikan Yamadanishiki Junmai Shinshu Shiboritate Nama Shu 720ml Alcohol 15%. Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 65 When I came to buy the next one from Abe-san, it caught my eye and I bought it immediately and opened the bottle ^ ^. The first attack is very characteristic. The sweetness soaks through all at once. I thought it was a little too sweet, but then I took a second sip. The second sip. What? You don't feel the sweetness? It's delicious, isn't it? I would like to repeat a bottle, but I think there are only two bottles left. I don't have enough space in my fridge, so I'll give up.
