Apple Juice Gulping Sweet and Sour Invigorating Plum

Refreshing, sweet and sour. It has a stronger apple taste than the fire-brewed Apple Pom Pom I had before. The alcohol content is low at 7 degrees, so it is like a juice. Although the alcohol content is low, it is delicious and has a green apple taste. I didn't know this was a joint development with Motox. I didn't know that. It's the same as Iori and Iyano.

Japanese>English

Flavor similar to that of Hijirizumu's Sake Mother Activated Sake. I don't like this one a bit.

Since ancient times, people used to throw beans on Setsubun day👹. Before we know it, the custom of eating ehoumaki (rolls wrapped in rice wrapped in eho-maki) has has taken root. Tonight is the moon after the rain. When I open the door, I hear a cheerful sound. The feeling of tight gas 🫧. Aroma like sweet sake Clean sweetness and sharpness ⚡. When you mix the lees, the lactobacillus feeling becomes more intense at once ✨. Light, low-alcoholic taste, so you can gobble it up 😋.

For some reason it was on special sale at a local supermarket😅. Junmai Ginjo, 60% polished rice ratio, under 1000 yen without tax... too good deal... I'll take it at room temperature 🍶. It's too good to be true! It's very rich! Rice swelling is very nice 🙆 The lingering aftertaste that gently fades away 😄 Even with strong dishes, it doesn't lose at all. Eggplant dengaku looks good 🍆.

Refreshing ginjo aroma 😌. It was a local sake with a strong but refreshing alcohol taste that went well with a meal 🥂.

Japanese>English

Bought it because it was cheap at the supermarket. The aroma is not that great, and the taste is a bit dry while still having the sweetness of rice. The reason for the low price was that it was made exactly one year ago, so it may be appropriate to withhold my evaluation of the sake itself.

Japanese>English

Junmai Ginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15%. The ginjo aroma is only faintly fragrant, It is a slightly dry sake with a good balance of sourness and bitterness in the mouth. Kumazawa Shuzo's [Shonan] is not sold wholesale to private sake stores, and is only available at direct retailers or major retailers such as Jusco😅.

A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

Japanese>English

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.

I bought this Suzune for my wife who wanted to drink it 😛 lol The gasiness is still the same, but the rice flavor and acidity are there, but the impression is a little lighter than Suzune. I think I like this one better because it's more refreshing✨.

Japanese>English

146th bottle. Sweet, slightly effervescent, easy-drinking sake.

Japanese>English

The taste was delicious and reminded me of cider, which I haven't had in decades. It was a carbonated beverage that didn't feel like alcohol. It was one of the five bottles I purchased two weeks ago at the Fukushima Prefecture Tourism and Products Museum. My eldest daughter invited me to take the third sector Abukuma Express train to Fukushima station for the first time. Due to the cooler, I couldn't take too much home, so I also bought a 300 ml bottle.

Not as dry as I expected. Sweet at first, piquant later. It tastes good cold, but as the temperature rises, it becomes milder. Excellent for a special honjozo. 4.0

Memorandum. This is another favorite local drink. Summer, After having accomplished a lot of big challenges in June for me. I wanted to take a breather and reset. A crisp, dry, unpasteurized sake. It works well. I should be able to get eggplant. It was such a good sake for the evening. Sasanishiki from Ichihasama. Suki. I prefer the green hode nasu in winter, though.

Japanese>English

It is a local sake, but I first heard about it through "Sake-no-wa" and bought it at a sake store in the northern part of the prefecture. My daughter bought it at Fujiwaraya in Sendai Station a couple of times before she got married. Strangely enough, I could not remember any other person's sake. 　It has a fruity aroma and taste like peaches, with a nice sharp aftertaste. (Mrs. Fujinami's impression) 　It was too rich for me and I did not understand it well. It became easier to drink when I tried it on the rocks.

Japanese>English

Summer version of hode nasu 🍆. First time I've ever purchased summer ✨. It's completely different from the winter version, crispy 😳 almost no acidity! I prepared a steak with the winter flavor, but I ate it with yesterday's leftover mansaku and ate the hode nasu with edamame and cucumbers 😅. Hode nasu in summer is more like sushi or pickles than meat 🤔.

I went to Yamagata for the first time in a long time😊. I was allowed to drink sake at my uncle's house. Mellow and sake-like sake, just the way I like it for everyday drinking 😊. There was also some Asahitaka at night, but I don't remember drinking it. I forgot to take a picture 🥲.

Japanese>English

The aroma of the rice is very deep. The aftertaste is very strong.

Japanese>English

After all, I felt that the brewery has its own taste. The aftertaste is the taste of the brewery. This is one of the bottles I bought during the brewery tour.
