Last year I wanted to drink it but couldn't, so this year I really wanted to buy this sake. I'm glad I bought it! Too much Moromi! That's what a certain liquor dealer said, but I thought so too. The aroma is faintly apple...? First, let's take a taste of the supernatant... Sweetness like apples and pears! The overtones also smell like apples! There is a sourness! It's like a sweet and sour apple with a refined taste of koji. For a sake of this time of year, there are no unusual spikes in the flavor. If you think the taste is similar to something, it is similar to La+Yachiyo ROOM by Yachiyo Shuzo. I'm convinced that it has a sweetness like a pear as well as an apple. If you mix it with nigori, it becomes more dry even though it is energetic. It should be easy to drink even for those who are not that good at sweet taste.

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!

Water and Philosophy 2024 series. Sake from Aichi has an image of not being very spicy due to the water, but this one is quite spicy. This is just a spicy sake.

I saw it in a sake shop and bought it at a convenience store....well...the aroma, a slightly sour sweet sake aroma...the taste is also sweet sake...the aftertaste is junmai sake...I guess I would drink it as it is...? It's a bit too much for a food sake.... It's easy to drink, but ....

Japanese>English

(oˆ罒ˆo)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The third bottle of the Kyokugori Festival was Ozeki's Yumemiru Hitsuji🐑 opened 😀. The aroma is mild 😁The mouthfeel is smooth even though it is nigori 😊The sweetness and umami of the gentle rice 🌾 is good👍The middle part has a lactic acid taste 😚The aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink 😘. I think it is the best one-cup nigori that you can drink whenever you want 🥳.

慎ますますます. Ozeki Junmai Nigorizake Yumemiru Hitsuji is the first ✨. It's not too sweet, and it's one you can drink a lot. It is delicious.

Sake degree -30 enjoyment. Smells fresh, like sliced apples. It has a smooth texture, pear-like nuances, and a slight effervescence, with a nice balance of a little sourness and bitterness. The lactic acidity, umami of rice, and a little bit of alcohol make it refreshing and delicious after drinking! I was surprised at how easy it was to drink because I was imagining a sweet juice. It has a buggy feeling like other sake is bitter because it is sweet but doesn't make you feel sweet. Day 2. Clear and good! Would buy again.

Japanese>English

What the hell? Yum Kore! Shuwa shuwa fruity♪ I didn't know there was such a modern sake in Niigata? I was impressed. I definitely recommend it to people who like Kaze no Mori and Sancho. Perfect for a hot day like today. I drank the 4-pack bottle instantly after chilling it down to the perfect temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer.

Japanese>English

On the second day of my trip to Niigata, I bought this at a liquor store near Niigata Station. I had been curious about it for a while, so I decided immediately. It has a rich sweetness and flavor, and a refreshing slight carbonation. I am very satisfied with it.

This doburoku is made to order. I pre-ordered it at the end of August through a guide from my favorite liquor store, and it has arrived. It's my first doburoku! The sweet and sour Awaraku in the photo expresses it all. It tastes like sweet sake with the texture of petite rice and the sizzling cider-like carbonation you feel when you crush it, making it a refreshing, mouth-watering drink. It's adjusted to 5% alc:5% and goes down swiftly. It's no longer a dessert!

This doburoku is very good 😋.

Today's work was hard because I had to work alone all day 😵💫 Tomorrow is still work! On days like this, let's drink some nigori sake which represents Nara. Let's start with the top-finish. The sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewer spreads out and you can't help but sigh 😚 When it gets cloudy, you can enjoy the flavor of the rice and the tingling dryness together☺️. It was a good stimulus for my tongue, which has been used to sweet sake lately. This may be the best Nara sake to pair with Kakinoha Sushi👍.

Japanese>English

Cloudy but lightly pungent. The umami from deep inside is the base.

Your first brand ✨ A gift from MAJ! Thanks. It has a pretty yellowish color. I wonder what about other standard sake or something 🤔. The aroma is sour and the taste is also sour. You can feel the greeful feeling, Perfect for the hot summer months✨. I'm sure this will be very popular if they expand their distributorships 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and slightly tart. There are flavors of apple and a hint of pear. A medium mouth feel with acidity to clean your pallet. Nicely refreshing.

Although the label is damaged, the Sake is a beautiful melon flavor with a hint of banana. There is also some acidity to give it some dryness at the finish. Good balance between sweet and dry with a medium mouth feel. Excellent!

Next up was the Ittiki Senzan Comet Nama-no-Hara Sake. The only sake from Gifu that I know of is Ikki Senzan, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a brand that had just been opened. It was a brand that had just been opened, so I liked the way the flavor was firmly on the tongue. The sweetness was not too strong and flowed down the throat easily. This is the first hit I've had in a long time. I wanted to drink it slowly, but I had to keep up with the pace of my grandchildren. I was getting too hungry to let them play with their toys, so I quickly settled my bill. It was different from a drinking party among adults, but I was glad that we could enjoy eating and drinking together. (^^)/

Japanese>English

Koshihikari. Lids fly off, baptism of foam... Sourness and spiciness are pertinent. The fizzy sensation makes the rest of the taste smooth.

Japanese>English

Part 3 This brand is new to me 🤗. Yopa Memo_φ(___) It's like a combination of yogurt and solid sake 🍶. I don't think it has much acidity🙄. It has a clean and solid expression. You can drink it smoothly 😃. It was delicious 😋😋😋.
