The aroma is sweet like amazake, and the taste is sweet and easy to drink! I'm sure it will lead to the creation of a new demand.......and I'm enjoying drinking it with homemade vinegared mackerel and homemade spring rolls that I caught........

I've been wanting to try some nigori sake lately 😆. I saw it in the store yesterday, went to buy it today, and was supposed to open it tomorrow... but I couldn't wait, so I opened it today and drank it 😅! There are many nigorizakes out there, but this one is Junmai! It has a nice crackle and a nice "umami and gentle sweetness" of the rice 😻🎉. Originally I was thinking of the 3x Domu from the same brewery, but I was so taken with the Junmai that I decided to go with this one. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that, but I'm sure I'd be able to do it.

Japanese>English

Sake filled only with Domuro-roasted rice. Slightly effervescent. It has a rich sweetness, but the alcohol taste is a little strong at the end.... The official online store of Endo Sake Brewery is formatted like a mail order site for health foods and supplements 🤣. Maybe it tastes better at higher temperatures? Nutty and caramel type sweetness comes out.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Japanese>English

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

For my first Hiroshima sake in a while, I chose a new Seikagami sake, my first try 😀 . I knew the name, but it was my first time drinking it, so I was excited to open the bottle🍾 I've never tried it before, so I was very excited to try it! It's a mildly dry wine with a hint of sweetness, easy to pair with food, and I love it👍. I'm not sure what to make of this. I love it!

Japanese>English

Sour... a unique aroma... It has a bitter-sweet taste. Aromatic and dry? Because it is freshly squeezed. It has a fresh feeling. The aftertaste is interesting... It's not a popular sake right now, but it's a good choice for a food drink. I don't hate it. I never get tired of it. It's delicious...

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

Japanese>English

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

Today is Nigori no Hi? (25th) eve. I had a Kirinzan. It has no effervescence, but when you pour it into a glass, it is very fizzy. The alcohol content is 14 degrees. A little low. It has a gentle flavor, but it is dry and refreshing. The nigorigo has a variety of flavors, and it is delicious.

It looks cool and smells like melon 🍈. Refreshing, mellow, mildly dry ❣️. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink 😋😋.

It has a complex combination of acidity, sweetness, umami, and bitterness, and is neither heavy nor light, making it easy to drink and delicious.

Bouken-san told me about it before, and I've become a fan of Watashibune's new sake 😚. But it's made with 100% short-stemmed Watashibune. I think this brand is as good as my favorite Genmai which I opened just before. The aroma is like a grape🍇, and in the mouth you can feel a very thin gas and a gentle sweetness. The aroma and taste are well integrated, and the transparent flavor fades out with a slight bitterness, which is brilliant 😆. Today I paired it with a yose-nabe with agaric broth, and the complex broth of the seafood and the flavor of this sake matched so strangely that I could really linger and eat and drink forever... It's still Monday, so I had to call it quits 😅.

It's not a scent... it's more of a... distinctive smell... and I can definitely tell it's fermented... lactic acid bacteria? Strong acidity! It's a very unique wine, so I think it's a very special drink. I think the flavor is a little more mellow on the second day after opening. It was well preserved, but... but does it really taste like this? That scent? It smells like fresh laundry... like an old wooden tub... and I don't like it... I don't...

Japanese>English

This was also purchased at Oka Sake Shoten, the same place as Unjaku. The aroma is mild but unique. The aroma is mild but unique, and it has a light aged feeling, probably because it has been shipped for a long time. If you drink it cold, it has some peculiarities, but overall it is flat. The umami acidity has a strong impact. It would be good to warm it up as well. According to the staff at the store, they won't be making PURE PINK this year. When heated, the sweet and savory flavor really shines through. I definitely recommend it over cold sake.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. It has a dark mouthfeel and a bit of maturity, but as the days go by, it becomes more rounded and changes to a level where even those who are not good at it can go. However, even though it has become more rounded and easier to drink, the sweetness and strength of the Omachi can still be clearly seen, so there will be different tastes. For me, it's a very interesting sake! The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it might be too peculiar to pair with a meal. However, from the second day onwards, while maintaining its richness, it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and is not bad as a food sake. If you roll it around in your mouth, it is a nicely aged sake, but if you drink it with gusto, you can drink it without worrying too much. Still, I want to enjoy the aged feeling of this kind of sake, so drinking it a little bit every day is good for me.
