Time is up, but here is the second bottle for the welcome party! Manjukagami, the department head's favorite! Following the black bottle at the previous farewell party, this time he brought a white bottle. The aroma was slightly fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and fruity, with a fragrant aftertaste. The bitter aftertaste is crisp and bitter. This bitterness reminds us that it is alsobe. This deretsun-like sensation is addictive! Thanks for the treat!

去年店頭で見かけて気になってたけど値段がネックでスルーしたお酒。在庫処分なのか2割引だったので購入してみた😅 1年経ってるから少し不安だったけど熟成感は無くフレッシュで甘旨。甘過ぎやろってくらい甘い🤣 だけど少し甘ダレしてるような印象。製造日からすぐ飲めばめっちゃ美味しそうな雰囲気めっちゃ感じる。

Our department head's favorite Manjyukagami A former colleague of mine (from Niigata) told me that it was a perfect match for our department head, who loves dry sake, so he ordered some and brought it to us. Although it is a honjozo, it is skillfully brewed without giving too much of an alcoholic taste. It has a moderate sweetness, umami, and a good sharpness, and you can faintly feel the presence of good quality alcohol. Although it is not a major brand, it was very tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

It doesn't say, but the product name is Kokoromi. 295 bottles of this sake are limited, and from the name, I wonder if it is a test brew type sake. The concept of the Kokoromi saké has been around since last year, and it is said to be "unpolished luxury. This year's theme is "Shitakoya. It is a low-polished, low-alcohol sake. It is a rather gorgeous sake with a gentle taste that is not typical of Shirataka. The rice is Yamada-Nishiki from a special A district, which is luxurious for only 1,300 yen. It is probably only available in the Nishinomiya area, but if you see it, give it a try.

Japanese>English

Shirataka, founded in 1862, is especially famous as the official sake of Ise Jingu Shrine. (of course, I had never heard of it before 😅), which is especially famous as a sacred sake for Ise Jingu Shrine. We were very satisfied with the all-you-can-eat crab, sushi, sashimi, etc. We were very satisfied. The place is Kobe Minato Onsen lotus. The aroma was not too strong, but soft and fruity with no bitterness.

Japanese>English

Yo ❗️Manly ministry ️. Such a sake, Kanematsu Shirataka🦅. The harmony of Yamada Nishiki and Miyamizu was austere and deep, beautiful and strong... a good sake😊.

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

(*^▽^*)wdwdwdwdwd It is a purchase when I went to Fukui Prefecture last week. I was attracted by the pop of "Shah of Gundam" and bought it. The aroma is mild immediately after opening the bottle. It is a very good product. taste. It is quick and refreshing. It is a small bottle of 300ml, so it was a moment💦

Japanese>English

Looks like: .... Pale amber in color. Aroma is ripe apples? The mouthfeel is like apple vinegar...sweet and sour with a slight bitterness. It's an image of traditional Japanese sake. I'm drinking it with "blowfish skin" and "boiled nameta".

Today, my wife and son bought some Hakuryu Nigori👍 at a nearby Aeon. Thanks for telling me that you saw Hakuryu nigori sake with a warning sign on it so you bought it for me ❣️ I've been drinking beer and shochu on the days we don't have sake at home, but it doesn't suit my constitution or something 😅I wake up at least 3 times during the night and rush to the bathroom 🤔❓I'm still not sure if it's the amount of sake I drink or the fact that it's alcoholic or not 🤔❓ Well then, open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is lactic acid with a hint of alcohol. The taste is also lactic acidic with a strong carbonation 👍It has 18% alcohol by volume so if I finish it, I will get very drunk 🤣. I'd recommend it more as a standalone drink than as a food drink 😆.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, light and dry nigori sake. It's been a while since I've had a Shiryu from Niigata, but I get the impression that they make a good value for money Ginjo-shu. Chilled tofu with "leek and ginger", which I got because I was curious about it from Supoyo's post.

Japanese>English

I'm going to post some more pictures today😅. Made entirely from Echigo Gohyakumangoku and brewed with wine yeast. I thought it would be stylish✨. It's a sweet white wine style. I'm sure you'll love it!

A gift from a guy at work😊. It's a clear, easy-drinking, delicious sake 🍶. It's like a lower strength version of Kikusui. It's the type of sake I never buy myself so it's fresh 😊.

This Sake is bold and has a full mouth feel. There is a warm sweetness and is slightly dry. The flavor reminds me of caramel apples with a hint of wood. The finish is long. Refreshing and strong.

Suehiro Shuzo's Genzai. They also won a gold medal at the New Sake Competition for their Genzai daiginjo, but this is not that award-winning sake, but an affordable special junmai. It starts off with a piquant and refreshing sweet and sour taste! The taste is powerful with a strong sense of presence, but the alcohol content of 15 degrees makes it easy to drink and enjoy 👌. We are looking forward to adding this sake to our lineup next year and beyond 😊.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed at Suehiro Shuzo's Kaei warehouse. When I hear the name "Genzai," I think of the daiginjo that was entered in the sake competition. I hesitate to buy it because it is a bit expensive, but this special junmai sake (nama-shu, hi-iru) is reasonably priced and easy to pick up. I am looking forward to the next year, when there will be more varieties of sake. As for the sake, the aroma is like apples. When I drank it, I smelled cemedine😅. The sake is fresh and has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. I thought maybe I don't like cemedine, but I drank more than half of it in no time and regretted it. It is easy to drink. The second day, the cemedine is also good. If this is the case, it's a special pure Cemedine.

Japanese>English

Mild aroma. Pitchy and fresh. Balance of sweetness, flavor and acidity.

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
