I was told it was more on the sweet side, but it seemed flat. I don't feel any spiciness. Also, the alcohol taste is weak. I think it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Manazuru goes well with heated sake. Delicious 😋 blown in the autumn breeze. Mellow and flowing. The austere label is nice too.

Japanese>English

Good evening, it's Shamrock, a parallel world from Manazuru in our first series ☘️☘️☘️. Not a Yotsuba, but I'm opening this bottle to pray for Japan's 🇯🇵 soccer team to win tonight✨ It has a sweetness that is typical of rice, lactic yogurt and acidity, and is delicious 🐴🐴🐴🐴, but it has a high alcohol spiciness on the back end that makes it very drinkable. I had a puku puku brew the other day. I think it is similar to the junmai sake I drank the other day from Pukupuku Brewing (that one is Koshihikari) 🤗. I heated it up to lukewarm to try it out and it doubled in flavor 😋.

This is the end of the New Year's sake. This is the most beautiful dry sake. The acidity is zero❗️. It is made by the taste of rice and bitterness.

Japanese>English

I was looking at the moon and it got cold... 😋. The flavor precedes the taste, but the bitterness soon rushes in.

Japanese>English

The alcohol content is 20 degrees. It is very strong. The sourness spreads and there is a faint umami taste. We hope to see you again this year.

It's like the masculinity of gusto and honjozo. ♠️ The snow man on the label is a very unlikeable character and I drank it while looking at the label. It's a bit light and easy to drink 🙂 I want to try a hot one next time!

Japanese>English

A modern sake brewed by Aoki Shuzo, famous for Tsururei. It is completely different from the cup of sake Yukio that I drank before. It is sweet with a sour taste, but not cloying and very easy to drink. It was a low-alcohol, fresh summer sake, but when I checked the production date, it was about a year ago.... I think it was sold at room temperature (not in the refrigerator), so I wonder if it is not a summer sake. Well, it tasted good to me, so I don't have a problem with it.

Japanese>English

Dry and delicious. Long time no see? Drinking outside makes you drunk? No, no, I'm busy checking in!

The alcohol content is high at 17 degrees. However, it is an ice-aged sake. When you sip it, you can feel the corners have been removed. The taste is a little tangy. It was delicious!

Definitely delicious! Sweet aroma, soft attack. The palate is clean and delicious, with a smooth entry and a lingering finish.

Purchased at a store that sells local products of Okayama. I thought I was reading "kyokusei", but I was wrong 💦. A little peculiar reading😅. The rice is akebono. The top aroma is slightly fruity. A little sweet and refreshing. I thought it would be more of a classic sake, but it is easy to drink. Well, is it a fruity sake that is closer to the classic style?

Japanese>English

Okayama Local Sake The first brand I ever drank The original Omachi rice "Takashima Omachi" is used 🌾. No trendy fruity aroma Classical taste Full of thick flavor and richness A crisp and dry mid-meal sake The photo shows "Tairyo Ichiba Nakaura" in Sakaiminato, Tottori. Kitaro is in a good mood holding a big crab 🦀.

Japanese>English

It was different from the image I had of Okayama sake😅. It's quite spicy! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. The sharpness is the best🔪 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

Kyushu Tour. Recommended in. It is sharp from the flavor of rice. Goes well with meals.

Japanese>English

Last sake I bought last year as a Kumamoto souvenir. If I have a chance to visit Kumamoto again, I would like to visit Aso and Kikuchi area 😌. When opened and poured, it has a sweet aroma like sugar and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is crisp and immediately afterwards has the plumpness of rice plus the sweet and spicy taste of brewer's alcohol. The flavor is stable from start to finish, with a delicious standard taste! The unadorned taste is a perfect accompaniment to a meal 👍. I would like to visit 4 unexplored prefectures (Kochi, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa), but there are many places I would like to revisit. 🗺️

Japanese>English

The first sake brewery. Sake made with Hananishiki rice and Kumamoto yeast. Slightly acidic. The harmony of sweet and spicy is well-balanced and easy to drink.

Purchased at the sake department of Ropia in Hirosaki. Surprisingly, there are no liquor stores or supermarkets around Hirosaki Station, which is a problem if you want to buy local sake as a souvenir. The aroma is wonderful. The taste is light, with a soft, unrefined sweetness, a bit of bitterness, and a touch of sourness. It is not too strong in character, so it can be drunk as a mid-meal sake and will not interfere with a meal. It is a good match with light snacks such as yakko, since it was completely defeated when drunk with Akita's Iburi Gakko.

Japanese>English

It's Adohadari in Kamekichi 🐢. Please ask chika what "Ado Hadari" means 😊 lol The top aroma is slightly fruity. In the mouth it has a rich, juicy sweetness and a full-bodied flavor for an Aomori sake. A must have for those who love Nama sake 😋. I've only had Kamekichi's sharp junmai sake, so I was disappointed in a good way. It was delicious 🐢✨️

Japanese>English

It had a strong sweet aroma and was easy to drink like water 🍶. The restaurant had a large selection of sake, so I had a hard time deciding what to drink, but I went with this one, which I had never had before. The sake was good, but the ankou no tomoage, which was the first time I had it, was very tasty 😋.

While somewhat discreetly sweet, the Aftertaste is dry. Good sharpness 😋. I'm under the impression that this would be even better with a little bubbly ✨. However, as the temperature rises, the sharpness becomes duller and the sweetness becomes more pronounced. The sweetness becomes more pronounced. I think it's better when it's cold 😋.

I bought this one at Kimura Sake Brewery after hesitating between it and Daishinshu. I have had Toko before, but this was my first time to try Yong. The top aroma is mild but fruity. As the introduction of Shusen-do Horikazu says, it does have a hint of cherries, doesn't it? It is dry and fresh with a moderate sweetness. A little citrusy? Sharp dry sake. A little too light for me? A little too light for me. After a few days, the dryness settles down.

Japanese>English

I went to Yonezawa City during Golden Week and purchased this sake at Toko's Sake Brewery. Nyu is a sake that is only available in Yamagata. With a coupon I got at a roadside station in Yonezawa, I got a sake bottle with Toko's name on it. It is a dry sake with a Sake meter rating of +6. It was easy to drink with a clean taste. 1760 yen.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

🥂 Fresh and gorgeous aroma 😌. Umami and acidity harmoniously spread in the mouth 🤤. It was a very delicious junmai namaishu 👍
