Refreshing, crisp, dry ~ ⤴️🍶 Slightly hackneyed ✨. It's very tasty.

Japanese>English

The last stop at the Yamabusyu Sake Brewery was the 3-sake drinking corner The 7th sake in total Freaks 1 Nigori This is the one I'm used to drinking 😊. The aroma is grain flavor + yogurt type When you put it in your mouth, a slight sweetness spreads along with a gaseous feeling. Followed by the acidity. Finally, bitterness appears. The sharpness of the wine makes the aftertaste short.

Japanese>English

I smelled it on my son. It smells like a flower 😂. I gave it to my wife. It's so good! I thought it would be sweet but it has a clean aftertaste! Result! It's so good😋

Sake from a commercial that I wanted to drink irresistibly. The smell of apple is easy to understand. The cross section of an apple is replayed in my brain. Ehh..! Carbonated apple juice! The taste starts out with a voluptuous taste like grated apple, then it is apple-like, then sourness at the back, a little ricey, and then shrivels up to a refreshing taste. No apples in it and no additives, even after looking at the ingredients many times. No sweetness, no bad taste. I chose the room temperature version and was surprised at how good it tasted. It smells like rice as the temperature rises. 5% has a strong flavor.

Japanese>English

It's been soooo long since I bought Mio on the web. Mmmm sweet soda water 😆👍 It might be a good entrance to drink sake for the first time.

Drinking comparison (๑🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶💕) This is for last month 💧. I'll have the ones I drank this year before the end of this year... 💧. Memo note Alone It has a light sweetness, but it is moderate compared to AKABU. Suitable for a mealtime drink Delicious with fresh tuna from Miyagi Prefecture 😋. Warmed to lukewarm Sourness and alcohol taste My personal preference is about room temperature😸.

Japanese>English

Oh, I want to drink Hama Musume.... Apparently, one out of every three people in Iwate Prefecture has this urge. This is the Iwate-only junmai sake that I keep buying on repeat. A privilege of Iwate residents. **:. o(≧▽≦)o . . :**

Drinking comparison (๑🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶💕) This is what we drank last month 💧. Iwate Prefecture limited, on sale on 25th Koch wins for the opening sound: ❣️ I think the freshness is also Kochi's. ☺️ I think it has more sweetness than fire-roasted.

The first cup of the second night. The concept of "dessert rice wine" is very true. It has an elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets. It is thick and dense, with a distant bitterness. The sharpness is not bad and the outline is clear, so it is easy to drink even though it is quite sweet. It's difficult to make an appetizer with it, but it would go well with dessert. It's perfect with grape jelly👌.

Japanese>English

Again, no rice used or major specs. It is a very low alcohol sake at 5%. Oh❗️It's really red! is my first impression. I remember drinking red sake before, but once again I thought rice is amazing. It's hard to recognize this as sake when it's served without saying anything. It's almost like a rosé wine, with a strawberry-like flavor. It's light, but I'm not sure I like the sweetness and mouthfeel. If I were served this sake at midnight, I'd be in a bit of trouble.

Japanese>English

The rice used in this is also unknown. A slightly low-alcohol type of Junmai Ginjo So far, this is the most authentic and the driest sake in the HINEMOS range. The mouthfeel is clear, light and refreshing. When you drink it, the umami-sweetness spreads out, and at the end, you can feel the bitterness and spiciness in the throat and nose, and it tightens up quickly. Yes, yes, this is my favorite type 😋. I️ want to spend more time drinking this one.

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

I bought this at Mori Sake Brewery on my last trip to Hirado! The president of the company was in charge of the cash register that day😆. He politely introduced us and told us that it tastes best chilled in a wine glass! Sweet and sour from the aroma Tastes like plum wine Slightly sticky texture A little sweet but not too sweet Slightly rice bran-like, but you can sense the grains and nuts that only low-polished rice can provide But still sweet 😃. Sweet and delicious as a dessert wine I had it with Nagasaki Fukusado sponge cake a few days ago Champagne split today 🤣. Half and half Pour in a 1:1 ratio Marriage of Philando and Champagne 😉. Makes it less sweet. Maybe just the right amount of sweet 🤔.

Japanese>English

I've always been curious about this drink. I've always been curious about it. 100% Kasuga terraced rice Rice polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol 9%. A little white grains of lees are dancing around. Fruity and juicy sweetness like orange 🍊 or melon 🍈. Slight bitterness at the end. This is great for dessert! Sweet mouthfeel like sake, like wine. Low alcohol & 500ml of very tasty sake, it goes very fast 😊.

Japanese>English

Philando 🇫🇮 I was expecting it to be very sweet, I was expecting it to be very sweet, but it's pretty soggy and makes the drink go further 🤣. I think it's better to drink it chilled and in a smaller vessel to fully enjoy the fizziness 😋. I have the impression that you can fully enjoy the fizziness 😋. Foam x low alcohol = surprisingly refreshing drink 🫧.

It's a little bit more expensive, but It's a very elegant, sweet drink! It's kind of like the sweetness of a muscat! It's 500ml, so it'll be drunk in no time!

It's foamy! I'm sure it's just cider or something. Mild sweetness, or is it the sweetness of the cage? Clear aftertaste! It's delicious 😋.

I enjoyed the cool sour taste. The aroma is a refreshing "rice"🌾 At first sip, it has more punch than I expected but it is pleasant. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sharpness is delicious✨. The light nigori also makes you feel cooler It makes me feel more cool Tomoka Imamura, the female toji of Wakaha Shuzo tweeted that she paired it with cheese. I also paired it with Kili's cream cheese. I can't wait to try it out! I also want to drink Wakanami TYPE-FY2 I want to drink it.

I bought this Akatombo at Kado-Yasan in October. I kept it in a safe place, but I opened a bottle today. It's really good! It's sweet all the time while rolling it around in your mouth, but when you finish it, the sourness stands out and you can feel some bitterness at the end. It's a taste I like.

Japanese>English

This this this! Banana🍌 aroma 😆 My favorite Wakanami's sake smells like bananas! Yummai! Mildness like hiyaoroshi! It tastes like banana🍌 and grape🍇 ! No bitter aftertaste, so it's a little bit sad 😂.

At home. This is the last in the Shiga Sake series. It has a gorgeous aroma, sweetness and acidity in the mouth, and a very refreshing taste that finishes with a light bitterness. I had three kinds of Shiga Sake, Taga, Laughing Season, and Nikkoku-Tsuchisei, and I would like to try the other kinds again.

Japanese>English

More oriental and tart mouthfeel. The sweetness is moderate, and the pleasant sourness and rice crumbles are interesting. The bitterness in the second half is mellowed by the lingering ori.

Japanese>English

(It is very light on the tongue, but has a sweetness to it, and when heated up, it has a savory graininess to it, and it is certainly best when heated up. It is definitely best when heated. It is very light on the tongue, but the sweetness and aroma of the grains come out. I usually only drink dry honjozo, but this kind of sweet honjozo is good too! It's a good opportunity to broaden my palate!
