Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇

We had another bottle of DATESEVEN that we had missed drinking with the returning bonito. I dressed it with a large amount of myoga sent from the countryside. Everyone else had mentioned that it tasted good well chilled, and I thought they were right. It was delicious.

Hiyoroshi with Sake Mirai🌾. The impression is that the tangy acidity stands out when served cold. At room temperature, it becomes slightly milder and easier to drink✨. I had an image of Sake Mirai as sweet, but I don't think this one gives me that impression.

Salmonotrico, 3rd cup. This is also my first drink. It is a sake brewed with 100% Sake Mirai, but it was delicious, with a moderate sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a melon-like flavor.

It is delicious. When I read Shinzo, it was Kagura. I bought it at Shimada Sake Shop because I thought the typeface of Shinzo was cool. As it says, "the corners are removed and the sake becomes rounded." It is delicious!

I was deleting photos and found an unposted one. I'll register this brand because I don't drink much. I was attracted to this sake because it is "limited to restaurants". The fact that it is not limited to Izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) is very Kyoto-like. I remember we were all oohing and aahing over the cool label when the bottle came out!

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

It was given to me by someone who went on a trip. ice cracker even more delicious The label on the bottle is curious, but I'll take it as it is for now. The aroma is pleasant, but it is not flowery, and the flavor also gives a crisp impression. The alcohol content is a little strong. The overall flavor is neither good nor bad, but not very distinctive. However, it is quite spicy and strong as it goes down the throat. After two sips, I finally remembered the meaning of the label. I checked the alcohol content again and found it to be 19%. So that's what it is, a sake that is just right on the rocks. It is a sake for the rocks, which seems to be a rare thing to find. It is good on the rocks as well, though I think I am being led to believe that it is. It is good on the rocks. However, as I mentioned at the beginning, there are basically no outstanding characteristics, and the alcohol content has become just right, so it has finally become just an ordinary tasty, well-chilled sake. Well, maybe that's the best.

It has a sweet rice aroma rather than a fruity one. Unlike the popular sake of today, it has a strong bitter sweet taste...mellow umami taste...you can feel the flavor of the rice...it's a Junmai with a strong presence...it's like a sake for the sake connoisseur.

It's been a super long time since I've had a pearl rhyme 😁. I don't know how many years it's been since I've had a draft sake, since I don't have any pictures left from the past, but I'm looking forward to it for the first time 😊www So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity, sweet, delicious, juicy and fruity🤗I love this time of year when it's new sake the best 🤗Wow! I wish I could just drink fresh sake all the time 😄.

I'm not privy to the specs, but I hear it's less than 30 per cent polished 🤩. But it's good and cosy 👍I heard they don't use much sake rice though. It's usually sweet, tasty, bitter and well-balanced 😋. Yamagata sake is as high as ever👍

Are you a member of the Shuunin? Shu-in opening! The aroma is clean 🍎. Personally, I don't feel much sweetness, but a nice clean acidity and a bitter taste at the end 😋. It is said to be very polished, but the specs are not disclosed in case you are interested! 1500 yen is cheap for a pure large class👍.

The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!
