The driest I've had on the same day.

Japanese>English

I heard from an acquaintance that Sakuta was delicious and ordered it because there was no special distributor near me and it was in the hometown tax payment. Since it was a set of two bottles, I received it with sincerity. Ginjo-shu with brewing alcohol Fruity ginjo aroma like muscat, sweetness and umami at first, but lingering in the middle as if it were crystal clear water, and later acidity comes in and it is a refreshing dry sake.

This is a winter-only nigori sake from Niigata's famous brewery "Chojamori". Winter General Nigori (nigori), sweet, quite thick, and very drinkable.

We had this at Kuriya Sake Bar. It's a great place to stop by if you want to enjoy the real Hakata. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the real Hakata, this is the place to stop by... I don't know what the drinks tasted like, but they were refreshing.

I was able to drink a little bit of each of the various drinks. They were all refreshing and easy to drink!

Yum! I'd love to build on this in this restaurant.

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!

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 ️.

Japanese>English

Yamada Nishiki. A pleasantly mild spiciness with a sharp umami flavor...!

It has a clear, mellow, and smooth taste reminiscent of 🍎. When chilled, it has a refreshing acidity, and at room temperature it is a deliciously sweet 🍎 taste. It has a refined taste that sinks in easily.

Japanese>English

This is my first time at this brewery. I would like to know how many sake named Masamune there are. It is delicious with a strong sake flavor. The label looks like a dairy.

We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

Polishing ratio 70%. It has a pleasantly sweet taste, but it also has a slight sourness that goes down the throat, so you won't get tired of drinking it! I want to know more about Kanagawa sake!

It is not only sweet. Sweet, a little spicy with a touch of spiciness, acid, drinkable. Well made and named.

Japanese>English

Hmmm...it's +10 dry, but I feel the dry finish is very good. It's not too dry and spicy, but it's full of spiciness and delicious flavor. You can enjoy it. It reminds me of ears of rice under the blue sky of Shonai, a rice place.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a supermarket in Rokko-do It's pretty sweet, but not the modern kind, but the rice sweet and tasty type. It has a sharp taste or a little bit of a zing to it. I think it tastes beautiful for a rice polishing ratio of 70%. I bought it at a supermarket, but it's even better than I expected. The more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. It's great cold, but I think it would be better if it were lukewarm 🤔. The third one, after I posted about the Tochigi booth, my recommendations were full of Tochigi sake 🤣.
