(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened our first bottle of Sun today 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 😊. The taste is slightly dry with a gentle umami and sweetness that is balanced just right 🤔The crisp mouthfeel makes me want to drink it over and over again 🥰. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed with something to eat or on its own 🥳.

(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 Purchases from my trip to Tohoku 😀 I found a cup at Maxvalue in Yamagata prefecture that looks exactly like Kikuyu's 👀🤣I wanted a limited edition Daiginjo, but I got this one 😁It's a Hatsusun Honjozo 😇. The alcohol content is 16 degrees, so it's more gentle than the original 😊Alcoholic aroma, sourness and umami 😚After the rich umami and a hint of sweetness, it has a clean aftertaste from the aluzoe 😇This is a delicious sake 🥳.

It has a faint sweet and sour aroma. It goes down the throat easily. What remains in the mouth is sweetness. And a bitter taste. It's an unusual kind of sake that leaves a sweet taste. But it's delicious. Hokkaido sake is delicious.

Japanese>English

They were forced to purchase this sake, which is only distributed in Hokkaido. This +4 sake has a strong sweetness from the rice. A gem to find when you return to Hokkaido.

Event. Sake Fair 2024. The character "zanshin" evokes the image of a powerful sake 🍶💪. Who wrote these characters? I asked him, and he said he is the head priest of a nearby temple 😄. It's a true local love ❤️ It is a sake. The color is clear. The taste is nutty 🥜 sweet. Mild on the palate. Little ginjo aroma. The sweetness continues until the aftertaste. Sake with a sweetness that seeps through.

Japanese>English

I didn't go to the brewery, but I haven't seen Kyushu Chrysanthemum in Tokyo either, so this will be a first for me. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, there is a slight bitterness and a strong sweet umami taste that is typical of nama sake. This is a honjozo sake, but it is a very good sake that does not feel like it has been alkaloated. The price is also very reasonable at around 1,300 yen for a five-pack. In Tokyo, you only see gougo bottles of kenrishi or shochu 🤔. I wonder if it is more common in the west?

Japanese>English

This is a new release from the sake brewery closest to my house. I was curious about this sake because it was made by locally grown Omachi, so I bought it. It's rather refreshing and a bit lacking in the traditional sake taste 🤔. I tried it warmed up on the instagram of the liquor store where I bought it, and it was great! The flavor opened up and it tasted great. I'm glad to see local sake trying different things 👍Thank you for the food 🙏.

★3.5 At a bar. It was sharp and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Lightly dry to slightly sweet Tingling slight carbonation and sourness, followed by a sweet melon-like aroma that escapes into the nose. Sourness predominates, but a light sweetness also follows. The aftertaste is sharp, with a slight alcohol taste and a normal aftertaste. Taste it cold. The freshly made flavor is very strong, with a slight carbonation and acidity predominating when the bottle is first opened. Once the carbonation is gone, the sourness and sweetness are intertwined in a complex way, and it seems to go well with cheese, etc.

Today is Mukade, the second time it has appeared. After opening the bottle, it immediately had a nice aroma. I wonder if it is because it is a daiginjo. The taste is robust and dry. There is no fruit in it. Yona? 🤔

Japanese>English

The third cup is a centipede ministry. The one I probably wouldn't buy based on the label 🤣. But I think this one had the best aroma of all the ones I had yesterday 😋. It was unexpected and made a big impact👍 You're getting into the swing of things now 🤣.

Japanese>English

It is said that it is written "no wind" and read "Mukade". Once you see it, you'll never forget it. It is soft to the palate and seems to go well with any dishes.

Tokyo's local sake. Trial 300ml bottle. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter. Fresh, light, and refreshing? It is easy to drink without any habits. It's quite tasty...I guess it's like a light and delicious sake...I didn't know there was such a Junmai-shu in Tokyo...

Japanese>English

Rice used: Akebono from Okayama Prefecture, Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture, Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture This is a new product from a local liquor store. I thought it was a Toyama sake, but it turned out to be an Edo sake. The acidity is strong, and there is a refreshing summery flavor. The bitter and spicy aftertaste is also good. The overall balance is not bad. Sake from Tokyo is not to be underestimated ❗️

Morimoto Shuzo Koyogi Junmai Ginjo Comet 50. It is a jackpot purchase. It is a delicious sake with a great taste and a great drinking experience 😋.

Japanese>English

Morimoto Morimoto Junmai Sake "Hatsu-no-Takimikiri 2022". This is my first time to drink this brewery. It was a delicious one 🍶🎶 and served chilled. It is a dark, umami, spicy sake, but as the temperature returns to normal, the sweetness and sourness come through. I think it is a good sake at room temperature or warmed. All of Shizuoka Prefecture's sake is delicious.

Japanese>English

I came back to my parents' house today, so I drank a glass of local sake for dinner. It is a refreshing yet umami (flavorful) sake that is very Shizuoka 🍶 Morimoto-san is delicious.

Very ordinary cup of alcohol (´¦). You can taste a good sweetness with no added sugar. I'm happy with the taste, which is very typical for a cup of sake. It still tastes better when heated. It's not that unique, just a good cup! This is the kind of sake I like! This is the kind of sake I like! Mr. Mitamura went to Kiyotsuru! He was drinking old sake that you can't usually buy!

Refreshing, clean, dry 🍶. Taste of summer 🌞🍶. Easy to drink✨✨✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

I bought a bottle of Ayagiku's raw sake because it seems to be rare. I bought it at Okura Sake Shop in front of Tamatsukuri Station. It is a new store opened this year. They seem to carefully select and handle brands that are not found in the Kansai region. They have a wide selection of sake brands such as Rairaku, Kinshi Morinori, Shonosato, Hizen Kurashin, Chitose Mori, Kikunoi, Hakuryu (Fukui Prefecture), Ayagiku, Hanashimi, Zoka, Morinokura, Rokkasen, Tenzan, etc. Sake made with Sanuki olive yeast. Fresh, rich, sweet and acidic. The acidity is impressive, but there is also a bit of spiciness in the latter half. It has a light mouthfeel for its alcohol content, perhaps due to the acidity. It does have a slightly tropical flavor.

I couldn't go anywhere during the second half of GW because I had to stay at home. So on the last day, I will just enjoy the feeling of traveling with this cup of sake. It has an alcoholic taste, but it is sweet and easy to drink. Since it is a Hokkaido sake, we also had some delicacies that Men-chan gave us. Thank you very much.

Nuritic drink. Lactic sweet and sour. Hot dryness.
