It has a fresh aroma and sweetness that precedes the taste, but it is crisp and dry. This is my first time drinking this brand, but it is very tasty with a beautiful flavor.

Japanese>English

A bottle that shows the quintessence of Yamae Nishiki. It has a rich umami and strong bitter acidity. Rather dry taste. Impressive freshness and richness even though it's a draft ✨. Not too high at 15.5, You can fully enjoy the original sake character 😋.

Japanese>English

This is your first issue. What is this? It has all the good points of Shinshu sake. It has a gentle sweetness, but at the same time it is refreshing. The evaluation was divided as to whether it was dry or sweet. I thought it was sweet. I felt the high level of Shinshu.

This was my first time to drink Kagoshima sake. I thought it might be too strong, but it was easy to enjoy.

Japanese>English

This is one of the bottles that was sold in a set with Tobiroki at Hasegawa sake shop, it was made in October 2020, so I guess they used Tobiroki to clear this stock 😅. I'm not a big fan of the Satsuma Masamune, but I'm not a big fan of the Tobiroki either. I was a bit worried because it's a raw stored sake, almost a year after production, but there were no quality issues 😄. Rather, I didn't feel the peculiarity that I felt when I drank Junmai Ginjo before, and it tastes better than that time 🌟. It has a slight sweetness, a strong alcohol feeling and a spiciness that comes down the throat, not very distinctive but enough for everyday drinking. Cold sake is the best 😚

Warmed. The acidity is strong and wraps around the umami.

2022/03/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Subdued but fresh aroma like green apple. When you put it in your mouth, the aroma is like cherry blossoms and it passes through your nose. The taste is mild and clean. A gentle, spring-like sweetness can be felt, and The umami of the rice is then conveyed clearly. The final sharpness is also good, making this sake suitable for a mealtime drink. It is not flashy or gorgeous. Elegant and understated, it is a sake like a Yamato Nadeshiko.

2021/03/22 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BONDARA" is a dialect of Yamagata prefecture. Yugi" means "snow". The fragrance is modest but sweet and refreshing. The texture is fresh and silky. The sweetness is moderate and the taste is dry. The sharpness at the end is outstanding.

Shizuku-tori sake from my humble favorite, Ikumidoi-san. The aroma is gently fruity. It is berry-like with acidity. The mouthfeel is gentle, but the volume expands with both sweetness and dryness. It has a very beautiful structure with a disappearing aftertaste. A good sake for stand-alone drinking. I think it would also work well as a heated sake, perhaps because of the image of Ikumichii 👌.

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

Japanese>English

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

Japanese>English

Classic type. Soft on the palate, dry in the middle, with a clean finish. Easy to drink. Very good as a food wine. Postscript Purchased at the Yaesu Antenna Shop after running on Monday.

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.

Not much aroma...old-fashioned mellow umami-kuchi...it's a food sake 🍶 like the local Mukho Masamune or Teisho🌲...it's a sake that is only possible with snacks 🍶...the bitter aftertaste may bother you a little? I think the bitterness of the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome...classical...this is good...I think the hurdle is too high...I'm having it with fried Mexicali...little by little...with snacks...

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is my second time at Kurumizaka. This time I bought Jun Dai. I noticed after I bought it that it was manufactured in 2017.3 and shipped in 2020.9. ？？？？？ The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it had an unusual taste. The flavor and acidity are amplified. On the second day, the flavor and acidity are amplified and it seems to change with temperature. It's so good! 😋

Japanese>English

Forgotten things of summer. Kishu Tamakae, Yamahai Kurumazaka. Is the complex acidity in the Noto Toji style? The lingering taste is refreshing and perfect for summer.

Drinking continues at Don Chaya 🕺. We emptied the weird "Haneya", followed by another round 🍶. We chose our first brand that we could see in the cellar✨ First "Kame no Ou Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate" 🎉. Not much in the way of aroma, but a clean sweetness on the palate, with a pleasantly sharp and sweet [Kame-no-o] lingering finish! I found out later that they revived Kame-no-o and used this episode as a model for Natsuko's Sake, so in a sense, they are the pioneer of Kame-no-o 😁.

A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata. My colleague introduced me to Miyakoya and I bought it. It was a very tasty sake with the beautiful lightness and umami of Niigata. The bonito was also very nice and fatty, so it made for a good dinner.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. Light and dry. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing sharpness. A beautiful, yet robust sake. Kame-no-o. With grilled meat

The flavor of the rice spreads softly throughout the mouth, but it is very tasty and not at all stodgy!
