It is fresh and crisp, and you can feel the flavor of the rice. It goes well with both fish and meat.

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

The 5th Sagajo Shoten Presents at the 5th Bishushu Raku Kushan Shokai 😃. The sake has been dry for a while, but let's have a sake with a very dry sake degree of +20 🎵Nagaragawa is basically dry 🤔Oh, it's spicy! Spicy is spicy, but the taste makes you wonder if it has a sake degree of +20 ❗It's not just spicy, it's a professional's job to give it character 😌.

Nagara River booth. It is not sold outside of the prefecture, so I guess it is a rare brewery to see in the Kansai region. I was a bit intimidated by the dryness of the sake, but when I tried it, I found it wasn't too hot. I think they were all refreshing.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Sake Rice used is Hidahomare. It is a so-called summer sake, and is said to be aged for one year. It does not have a matured feel and has a mild mouthfeel. It is refreshing as a summer sake should be, and the umami is clearly conveyed. It is easy to drink when cooled down to a crisp. The label is designed by a famous person? It's a cool design.

Good evening! 😀 It's June and the weather is like a cold rainy season, so I don't know what to wear 😅. Tomorrow, it's going to be 2 degrees lower than today. I wonder if the weather will continue to be so bad 😱. The general meeting at the end of last month was held at a local grand hotel, and the sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai from the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery. The sake used was Nanafukujin Junmai by Kikunoji Sake Brewery. It is not sticky-sweet, but rather light and easy to drink. If the sake is not made with the same level of care and attention as the all-you-can-drink sake, more and more people will leave the sake industry, and short-term tricks will not be effective these days. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you 😁.

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

I was attracted to it when I heard it was Asahikawa, so I tried it. I was told that it is easy to drink cold or warmed, but I had it warmed. It looks like a honjozo. Asahikawa, or rather the Oenon Group, is a widely used alcohol manufacturer.

This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Japanese>English

Fateful encounter with a guess sake 😊. We had it at the place where we stayed during our training 🍶. The first day of opening the bottle. The appearance is beautiful with a warm, light cloudy appearance. The aroma is soft and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. It is accompanied by a gentle woodiness, an astringency like grape skins, and a fresh sweetness like freshly cut pears. The whey aroma creates softness. The rice aroma is soft, with a hint of white dumplings. The firm sweetness of the rice spreads with a soft acidity. There is no sense of overdoing it at all, and the juiciness is extremely modest. From there, the flow of umami, which gives a good sense of fullness, disappears with a light stimulation that passes through to the nose. The lingering aftertaste is a sense of looseness that lingers on the nose and a beautifully tightened astringent taste on the tongue. The third day after opening the bottle. The aroma has not changed much. On the palate, in addition to the sweetness with a clear rice flavor, there is a refreshing acidity that spreads quickly. The refreshing and stimulating flow from the back of the throat to the nose is pleasantly intoxicating, and the soft umami of the rice with fullness is also very pleasing. The finish is clean, with a moderate lingering aftertaste and a bitter astringency. Oh, it is delicious. ☺️ You can tell that the brewer put a lot of thought into this sake 🍶. I really wish more people would drink this kind of sake.

Japanese>English

Last year, I bought a LOW HIGH WHO from here because it was so good 😘. The aroma is mild, sweet and lactic acidic. The mouthfeel is mainly sweet and refreshing, the acidity and richness of Yamahai appear softly in the middle, and the finish and aftertaste are again very beautiful. It is the most recommended brand this year among the newcomers. It is even more refined than last year. Perfect for my chanteuse 🤗. As the label on the back says, drink it while listening to Litogri 👍.

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

Japanese>English

Sake from a sake brewery in the northern part of the prefecture, located in the famous production area of Hachitan-Nishiki, Hiroshima's representative sake rice. The brewery has been working on it since the rice was first produced. The name of the sake is "Miwa Sakura" instead of "Miwa Zakura," which I had been misreading for a long time. It is said to be dry, but the quality of the sake is relatively soft. It has a nice sharp aftertaste and is easy to drink. It is quite my favorite 😋. I had it cold, but I think it can also be served warm.

Japanese>English

Since it is local, this brand is often found on all-you-can-drink menus at restaurants, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, etc. Until now, perhaps because I had been drinking pure rice spec sake, I had not dared to buy it again because of its graininess and miscellaneous tastes. This sake is a gem that has a deep, full-bodied flavor without the grain smell and other unpleasant tastes, while still retaining the acidity and bitterness, and the cleanliness that is typical of junmai. It was easy to drink on its own or with a meal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A souvenir from my wife. It is good to be able to buy it at a convenience store.

A new brand of Kawatake Brewery! Amayadori, written in Japanese as "Amawari"! Sweet like pineapple🍍. It has a juicy and pleasant taste because it's a raw sake with some garnish, The bitterness that comes slowly in the second half is irresistible👍. Mie sake is very tasty.

Japanese>English

It is a royal Junmai sake with a very smooth texture and moderate flavor(s). Hokosugi has an outstanding cedar child cup, and the cup sake is excellent! Power up in order when heated. The spiciness and acidity are slight and work well with the depth! It goes well with any kind of sauce! There is no need to write much about it! Mr. Ota is a rerun of Nagasaki It is a treasure house of good food! There are also a variety of good sake, and it's a place I've always dreamed of visiting!

Today is the second of four I received for Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day. I've had it in the past, but I'd like to share my thoughts on it again. It is a gift of 📌300ml ¥. I'll get back to you as soon as I can 😊. The aroma is fruity💕 The color is beautiful💕 It's good in a wine glass but I dare to drink it in a boar cup 😊I can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice 💕. Next, if you drink it in a wine glass, the aroma will spread and the sweetness will be even more pronounced 👍I would definitely recommend a wine glass💕. I had it cold this time, but it would be interesting to drink it at various temperatures 😋It may be a little disappointing that it is only 300ml this time 😋. Thanks to my grandson, I will enjoy it again today ✌️

Japanese>English

I bought it at Kyorindo. I bought it immediately because of the good price and the good label. The aroma is fruity and the color is a little yellowish. By the way, the price is 940 yen without tax.
