Umami Acidity Fizzy Bitterness Stiff Sweetness Rich Dry

Iwanoi 1

Iwanoi 3

My favorite Chiba sake "Iwanoi" is brewed with ultra-hard water (hardness 240). It has the delicious flavor of Omachi and the moderate bitterness and sharpness of hard water! The taste is deep and the acidity is dignified! It can be drunk as it is, or as a food sake...no...food sake🍶 is better 🙆I'm sipping it with boiled gammo and sashimi...🙆I'm sipping it with a side dish.

Japanese>English

A trip to Boshu, a place of binge drinking and binge eating... Sake from Chiba is not to be underestimated! Sweet and fruity aroma, sweet taste, but the rice flavor...enjoy! I'll go to Iwase Brewery tomorrow and get some!

Japanese>English

You can buy it directly from the sake brewery. It is a quaint sake brewery. It is brewed with "So no Mai" sake rice from Chiba Prefecture. The aroma is a hint of rice, and the taste is very fresh. It was brewed with very hard water, so the aftertaste is sharp! I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

It has a refreshing taste that is typical of summer sake. The moderate sweetness is well balanced, and the alcohol taste in the latter half is refreshing without being unpleasant. It is very tasty.

Japanese>English

Summer Sake #4! I'm tempted to open it even though I haven't finished the last one yet. Matsu no Kotobuki is a brand new to me. Yes, it's a jacket buy. It has a fruity aroma. It tastes sweet. It has a little bitterness. But it's clean and doesn't leave any aftertaste. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

All for $400 last day. I drank a lot. I don't remember the taste but the nigori sake was relatively good. I heard it was an izakaya with the official name "Sakenowa". I didn't know that even though I used to go there. It's hard to go to work.

Every year I look forward to the Risshun morning pressing... this year, I'm going to enjoy a bottle of TENRANZAN! When the bottle is opened, it has a pleasant fruity aroma...freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, and fresh because it is freshly pressed...the balance of sweet and bitter is unstable, with a certain sharpness...but the aftertaste is crisp! Delicious!

Japanese>English

It has a fresh taste and the alcohol and presence that only original sake can provide.

Japanese>English

At the beginning of the New Year, I enjoy the local sake 🍶Tenranzan Hatsu Shibori (first pressing), which I received as a gift, and since it is an ale-added, honjozo sake, it is more of a food sake than a straight sake...fresh as it is raw...my favorite horse sashimi and oseki (New Year) as a snack.... Enjoying the New Year's Day with my favorite horse sashimi and oshibushi....

(**Oh, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!) 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo (No.18) We had the all-you-can-drink course and had the Shiga Daijiro 😀 I don't remember much, but I think it was like an old-fashioned sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

It has a very rich, ripe, sweet, thick, full-bodied taste (¡Ω). And yet it is not cloying. It's the kind of warmed sake I like to drink when it's cold. I'd like to make this a staple in my house because it hits my favorite part of heating sake.

Japanese>English

The sake from the west, I thought it would be strong and angular, but it had a mellowness similar to the sake from the east, especially on the second day, and the sweetness was great. It was a small sake brewery according to Google, but it was very good with careful sake.

Smell thin. In the mouth it has fine bubbles and a fresh mouthfeel. Refreshing. The taste is very good 😋 and the mouthfeel is very smooth and the flavor goes right through. The edamame I happen to be eating is so good 🫘🥜. Easy to drink, will buy again㊗️.

Japanese>English

Then we have the Jun Dai on the left side. This one has a nice fluffy ginjo aroma, as is typical of jun-dai. The mouthfeel is light and sweet, and the acidity changes to a nice sourness in the mouth. It's kind of elegant! Thank you for the sake!

Japanese>English

Next is Golden Crane When I ask the locals on Sado Island what sake they drink, almost everyone answers, "Kintsuru. Almost all of them answer, "Kintsuru. It is the most major sake on Sado Island. Light and dry! Shakiness that is a model of Niigata sake. What is noteworthy is its transparency! There is no unpleasant feeling of brewing alcohol, so it is so easy to drink that it is almost like water. It is so easy to drink that it almost feels like water. It is a delicious and scary yuzu. Thank you very much!

Autumn is deepening. This is the time of the year for the unique Nara sake, Okura's Autumn Sake 🍂. The full moon🌕 label made me excited to open the bottle. It has a unique sweetness and richness, but with a rounded, mellow, and gentle taste. It's still delicious. ❤️ Okura is another addictive sake 🍶. I think it is a brand that should not be missed when talking about Nara sake👍.

Japanese>English

I bought it and then let it sit for a very long time 🍶. I thought it was strawberry-y ✨ However ‼️ It tastes quite maniacal 😓 lol Mellow, rich, and mature ✨🍶🍶. Sake feeling and rich strawberry feeling 🍓🍓. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

You can also go for the hot and spicy ‼️ Macho and Kamo Kanehide are both delicious 😋! I'm heading home after another Mahjong camp today👍

Refreshing, crisp, fruity 🌸🍶✨ Mild on the palate🎵 When you hold it in your mouth, it feels crisp on your tongue ✨. When you swallow it, it's sharp and dry at the back of your throat~⤴️😊. The balance between fluffy and crisp is zetsumyo 😆. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

[Buy direct from Chisa Aoki🤩] I bought this bottle from Chisa Aoki, the eldest daughter of the brewery, at a sales event at Ikebukuro Seibu the week before last. It was great to meet a celebrity in the industry 😆. I couldn't taste it because of this time of year, but I was able to smell a few different scents and chose this label as my favorite ✌️. It's a Hitachinishiki Junmai Ginjo aged for almost 2 years at very low temperature, and it's the first label to be sold this year. The aroma is grape 🍇-like, which is the reason why I decided to buy it, and when you put it in your mouth, the beautiful sweetness and full-bodied flavor will fill your mouth. The aftertaste is crisp and spicy with a unique aroma that makes it a fun sake to drink😄. This is a must drink for those who are allergic to aged sake as well as Ousachi ❗❗ I should have bought this in a bottle 😅.

Japanese>English

It's gassy and schwaggy. The aroma is quite fruity. The aroma is quite fruity, and the taste is refreshing, somewhere between dry and sweet. I have the impression that it hits the perfect balance between dry and sweet. The impression of "Gohkei-shiki" has been improved. I can't drink it because I don't usually see it 😅.

At home. My first Nanamizu. When opening the bottle, there is a fizzy feeling. The aroma is muscat, and when you put it in your mouth, in addition to the fizzy feeling, there is a strong sweetness, followed by sourness and umami. The bitterness is felt at the end, but it is easy to drink. I think the description on the back is right on target. It is an excellent product that is very easy to drink.

It arrived together with a large amount of Kangiku that I had reserved since the end of last year. My fridge is full again😅. This may be my first Nanamizu. Fresh, juicy, fruity! I wonder if it tastes like this because it's Yume-Sarara. It's Sunday and I'm drinking too much.

Kenshin 1

Tonight, I'm going to open this bottle for the first time in a long time & the long layover series. Kenshin Special Honjozo 2021BY I'm going to have a glass of this sake, which has been in hibernation for more than 2 years, with a plum crystal I bought in the neighborhood as a side dish. The taste is dry and crisp when cold, but as it gets closer to room temperature, the sweetness and umami of the rice is concentrated in the attack, and it changes to a deliciously dry taste. It gently wraps the sourness of the ume crystal and washes it away, and it goes surprisingly well with it, making it a good drink. ☺️

Japanese>English

Continued from yesterday. The second bottle is a sake called Kenshin from Niigata. This bottle was given to me by a friend of my son. The timing was not good, so I was finally able to open it. I took a sip, thinking it would be a little yellowish and dry. I took a sip. Surprisingly, it had a mild barrel sake flavor. It can be used not only with sashimi, but also with a slightly stronger flavor. Delicious! (^O^)

Japanese>English

Tonight, here is the second one for the New Year 💁. It has a dry aroma and taste with a strong character 🍶 It flows smoothly and without boredom. The flavor of rice can be felt softly in the midst of all this 👌.

Japanese>English

Smell of pineapple Slightly ripe pineapple flavor with a hint of pineapple candy, sweet and clean, with good flavor on the palate, a bit of bitterness on the finish, and a nice sharpness. Delicious. When the temperature rises, the sweet rice flavor and alcohol taste. It is better to cool it down.

Japanese>English

Today, we had a party with my family... and I opened a bottle of Hanahayo... and poured only the top clear liquid into the glass... it is a light amber color, pineapple aroma... and the taste is sweet and delicious... I guess it has a good balance... when you drink it with a little bitterness... it is even more delicious... .......even more delicious......in my opinion, it is a "Winner🏅♪"! We had a delicious party with my favorite sake and horse sashimi....
