Purchased at a local liquor store...Yamada Nishiki, ✖️ Gohyakumangoku = Koshitanrei, 100% sake rice from Niigata Prefecture. Sweet! It's more of a drink to enjoy on its own than a midday drink... it's a beginner's drink... women will love it... and since it's unfiltered, it's unfiltered, you can drink it on the rocks with ice... yup!

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and sweet. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness of rice is a little different from the fruity flavor. I wonder if it is. Cold sake was delicious.

Japanese>English

Koshitanrei. Sweetness from the periphery to the aftertaste. With a fresh umami taste.

Moved to the corner of Matsuzaki in Kawagoe. This is my first time at the fashionable Yellow Cherry Blossom. It is easy to drink and refreshing. It is the opposite of Kappa's sake. The reason why I couldn't feel the Aizan sensation must be because I was drunk.

Japanese>English

〰︎ 🌾 Domestic rice here, drunk I wanted to eat grilled seafood, so I went to Chiba. There was cold sake, so I ordered this one! Strong and refreshing with a lingering aftertaste 😋.

The eighth sake rice research bottle is Yumesansui, a trad variety from Aichi. It has a solid image, but the aroma is citrusy. Freshness of new sake, slightly effervescent and drier than sweet. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

Today is my first time drinking both of these ️️Aichi-style sake breweries 👍 First up is Ko no Tsukasa‼️. This is the one that shouldn't be chilled😅it's water😆. It's still water even if the temperature goes up😅It might be good if it's heated up, but it's too much trouble so I'm not going to do it 🤣. Next time👍

Japanese>English

The rice is Yumesansui, the same as in the previous nama sake we drank. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity. A little sweet and a little pineapple. It tastes fresh and spring-like. Delicious.

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Purchased at Isetan Kyoto The penguins are cute and impulse buy💦. It has a faint aroma, and after drinking it, you can taste the rice and a little pungent taste. I was surprised at how light it was when I put it in my mouth. It's also low in alcohol, so it's a good drink to have outside at lunch.

At Ya-Ya in Kobe. This is the first time to drink Neko Masamune since it was transferred from the defunct Omi Sake Brewery to Maihime🐱. It has a sweet taste with a slight graininess from the freshness. It tastes a little messy, but it's not that bad, right? Might prefer it to Omi Neko Masamune 🤔. It's quite fruity and has a pungent and alu taste, but maybe it's good? It's sweeter the longer it's been open.

I was curious about Ishizuchi's Princess, but I saw this one and bought it. It is sweet and sour. This sweet and sour makes me imagine the first love of a certain princess who has feelings for his person in New York....

Nagano, Suwa City. Maihime Corporation. Shinshu Maihime Junmai Daiginjo Miyamanishiki Purchased at the brewery during a tour of five Suwa breweries. One of the 3 bottles (6/9) taken home on the trip. It is served cold. The color is clear and transparent. The nose is rich and sweet, with a hint of ripe berry fruits. The mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth. On the palate, the acidity is well balanced with a gentle, full-bodied umami flavor. The sweetness is well balanced. The overall impression is mellow, but the acidity is the most impressive. Even though it is a junmai daiginjo, it has a firm, mellow acidity. The aroma in the nose has a berry aroma. I had the same impression when I tasted it, so I enjoyed it. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio:49%. Alcohol content: 16%.

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.
