Beautiful label...18% alcohol by volume...the alcohol is very strong...aroma: a faint aroma of rice. You can feel the delicious taste of rice on the palate...but the bitterness in the aftertaste is bothersome...It's like a good old Japanese sake...I'm having it with sashimi assorted by my regular old man. .... I'm sipping it. It's a raw sake, so it warms you up....

Kimasa "Junmai Ginjo" 720ml Alcohol content 16%. Rice: Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio 50%. The label is classical, but the taste is clean, mild and gentle. My wife says it has a nice gap between the two.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki Compared to the special junmai we drank before, this one is lighter. It has a slight amber color and a slightly matured taste. There is little bitterness, and no cloying taste. This sake is a bit lacking as a cup sake. The sake had a good sharpness, so it had a refreshing taste. 65th cup sake

It is a very good normal sake. It has a sweet and strong flavor, and it is perfect when heated. It has a moderate alcohol content, which is typical of a normal sake. It is a versatile sake that also makes it delicious! I once thought that Kichiemon Nakamura was a great sake because my brother is a Kabuki fanatic, and this sake may have the same weight. If it's a regular sake, I imagine it would be a Junmai sake, and it would be a very bad one at that! I would definitely like to try the junmai sake! Mr. Ota is in Shinjuku! Mr. Ota went to a sake bar in Shinjuku, where the sake was delicious, and to Robeliya, a very deep bar in Shinjuku's Golden Gai. A 30-minute broadcast in two bars is too short!

Today is the annual New Year's Day visit to Kawagoe Naritasan Naritasan, and then to celebrate the golden wedding of my wife's parents. Dinner. The drink menu consisted mainly of wine, but there was also sake on the menu, and Naozane was recommended as a mid-meal drink. The sake was classical and calm, but had a moderate flavor of rice and a sharpness that left a good impression. I would like to try it at home next time.

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land ✨ from Saitama Petit Drive🚙PART2 ⑦ Next to King Shop Seiya We decided to head to Gonda Sake Brewery, which we met at last year's Sake Fair. Gonda Sake Brewery, which we met at last year's Sake Fair 😊. It takes over an hour from here, I've been wanting to go there for a long time. Dora said, "Let's go there! And 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 Naomi bought a small bottle (special pure) at the roadside station last week and drank it. Naozane bought a small bottle (Tokujun) at the roadside station last week and drank it, but we headed to the brewery with high hopes of tasting something... 😙♪ When we arrived, we were greeted by the son of the master brewer (his eldest son). He was kind and courteous 😊. (I think it was the second son we met at the sake fair) We tasted all the current "Naozane" (8 kinds) and We also asked for a honey ume sake. We were allowed to drink it 😋. I think I drank about as much as a bottle of Sandesi I drank about a bottle of Sandesi 🤣. They also went out of their way to fetch water for the brewing process (a green bottle) and we drank a lot of it 😆. And then the mother served us homemade snacks.... I was very impressed with the taste 🥹. I bought the first ginjo and the honey plum wine 🍯😊. I will definitely come back 👋😄👋 After Gonda, we stopped by Hashimoto Shoten, Then we headed home 🚙.

Souvenirs] Untasted brands from Fukushima, a gold medal winning kingdom full of legends, at the Roadside Station "Fukushima" in Osasao, Fukushima City during the Tohoku tour in September. It is indeed a local sake kingdom. Posters of Japan's top gold medal-winning sake and a lot of undrinkable brands. I bought a packet and went for this one. This one is made with Fukunoka, developed by Fukushima Prefecture. It was made for highly refined sake. Mild ginjo aroma. Soft sweetness and rice flavor. Delicious. Easy to drink.

Japanese>English

The second check-in in the morning Nice sake with the taste of rice! Is this cheap sake? It's a cheap sake! I think it could be sold for 1000 yen if it was branded like wine... For a businessman like me, it's a blessing! At the mountain pass, I got that Rikimochi (rice cake): ‼︎ They were selling it on the platform. The number of pieces sold at the Pass Station is probably very small, but I guess that's how the stores feel about it! I am very thankful to the railroad lovers! The rice cakes were delicious and slightly salty.

There is no night without dawn Today is firefly squid with vinegared miso. My son was taken care of in Ishinomaki, so I made this with gratitude. Hidakami is a dry sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It made me think that sake really goes well with fish.

bonus🍶 Delicious Hamachidori with Sashimi We had it with 🥒🧂, spinach and enokitake mushrooms because we were full 😋. As expected in the season of year-end parties: ‼️ The stores were so crowded and the ones I knew were temporarily closed everywhere, so I walked around🐈⸒⸒⸒⸒🐾🐾 Tired of walking around, we took a break at a restaurant we passed by. Although there were not many kinds of Sake, they arranged some Tsumami for us even if they were not on the menu. Sweet and spicy fried cockerel 🐔. The kotteri taste makes Hamachidori even spicier ( °◊° )ho

One of the sake I wanted to try because of the stylish label❗️ A hint of pear? White peach? It smells like pear or white peach 😅 Elegant sweetness and almost no sourness ❗️ No bitterness or habits, and the aftertaste seems to disappear easily 😄. Overall, it's a gentle sake that goes well with meals. It's a delicious sake that can be drunk easily on its own 👍 Even sake beginners can enjoy it 😄.

Japanese>English

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

Japanese>English

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.
