Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin, 30 bottles of Niigata sake cups 🎉Chapter 1 Sweet and sour. Zarame. Gentle ☺️. Good with Hokkaido Hakkaku sashimi to get rid of the cloying taste👍Good with fat rather than plain white meat 😋Warmed up to 50 degrees, mild. The riceiness is up, and the acidity is softened. It also has a sweetness. Order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami, drink at home 20240315

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

Paid tasting, a bit expensive at 400 yen, but the surprising ginjo aroma, muscat-like taste and gentle flavor were delicious. It was nice to see replicas of the display of colored papers of successive prime ministers pasted on the wall, showing their individuality. A web search revealed that Fukubito is I found on the Web that Fukubito was the first sake brewery in Japan established in 1917 as a joint-stock company by investment from sake brewing companies mainly in western Japan.

Japanese>English

Purchased during a visit to a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima. When the bottle was opened, it smelled a little like magic ink. It tastes sweet like white sugar and has a relaxing flavor. It was different from the tasting. It tastes good, but... On the second day, it tastes just like I tasted it at the brewery. It is delicious with well-balanced flavor 😊.

Japanese>English

Last Sake on the Second Night of Hiroshima Night It is said to be a limited edition sake for the district. After drinking so much, I honestly don't remember much about it, It's a solid, rich sake. I had the impression that it had a slight rice flavor... I was under the impression that it was a little ricey... Hiroshima Night is now over: ☑️

The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

A refreshing and crisp sake typical of Echigo breweries. Serve it warm. Sake is a breeze created by local rice, water, humanity, and nature. This is exactly what I feel, and I feel the brewer's message and sensibility in likening it to the wind.

Japanese>English

Smooth and sweet around. Smooth with flavor.

Japanese>English

Light mouthfeel. The umami slowly creeps up on you. The description "Myoumi desu-dan" shines.

Preference ★★★★☆

Japanese>English

It is said to be junmai nama-shu, but while it is youthful, it is also spiky. I expect the mouthfeel would be better if it were laid down a little longer. Despite being junmai, it has a strong alcohol taste like an aruze. It is a strange sake that has a caramel-like matured aroma. The overall balance is well balanced, which is strange. It has a strong flavor, so it would be good with hormone stew, meat dishes with pepper and spices, and very spicy food, or strong food with strong flavor. Alcohol, caramel, cooked rice

Fruity like pineapple. The interweaving of rice flavor, sweetness, and acidity is very delicious. You can drink it refreshingly.

Japanese>English

This is the one that Neemuchi and I bought together! We both bought it! After tasting the junmai ginjo nama sake first, we thought it wouldn't be any better than that, so we were shocked! It has a beautiful acidity and juicy sweetness like an apple. The sweetness is rich and the bitterness is a little bitter at the end. I like it a lot.

Japanese>English

Sorry for the liqueur. It's the best sake cider I've ever tasted, and I'm sorry I got it from a 300 yen gacha. My daughter says it is delicious.
