At Uemo-san. I've been wondering about this sake. I heard that the brewery had already cleaned out this year's stock, so I bought it in a hurry. The sweetness that comes in easily. It has a nice mineral aftertaste.

Japanese>English

Taikan Another Story Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Morishima's sake. Is it a basic brand? I was curious and bought it! It seems to be different from the Morishima brand. It's not a modern style. The aroma, the sweetness, the umami, and the slightly peculiar taste in the nose are all good.

Aged one year 🍶. A blend of Fukunoka x Yumenoka x Omachi✨. I don't really feel the sense of maturity, It has a mild and calm taste. Best served lukewarm 😋.

Japanese>English

This is my first brand of sake: ❗️ A blend of Yumeko, Fukunoka and Omachi ‼️ I can't imagine what it tastes like🤔. No aroma, gentle taste but you can feel the richness as it passes down your throat❗️ It has no particular quirks and has a cohesive taste. I enjoyed drinking it 😊.

Japanese>English

I was called to work in Tokyo. I don't like cities. The National Diet building is beautiful with gingko trees in full color. I was surprised that it didn't smell like ginkgo. It is as expected. I went to a restaurant whose name I remember for the first time in a long time. There are a lot of gingko nuts, so I chose the ones I don't think I would buy by myself. Oh, it's full and sweet. It has a nice sharpness👍It has a nice Fukushima feel to it.

The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

The green cedar ball signals that the new sake is ready. We were able to taste it. The sake was clear, dry, and easy to drink.

I haven't drunk it yet. To enter the brewery place for now. The landlady explained carefully and we bought a bottle of her favorite red and a new Inagawa. We will enjoy them when we get back home.

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 😚

Japanese>English

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

At home. First time for meikyojosui ministry. Moderate aroma, moderate alcohol content, and a refreshing finish. Nagano sake, there are so many kinds. It is a good sake to get drunk and I'm enjoying it little by little.

Tasty and tasty. The creamy taste I would like to describe it as creamy. It is easy to match with meals. The alcohol content is high at 17 degrees.

Aromatic, with a good aftertaste, and cost-effective, it is a triple-threat sake. Accompanied by Hiroshima brand oysters

Japanese>English

A mini-bottle of Kamelei Junmai Ginjo given to me by a friend who lives in Hiroshima. The supercilious aroma is of a faint apple-yellow flavor. The sweetness and bitterness spread in your mouth at the same time, but both of them disappear quickly, leaving a spicy alcohol aftertaste. But the spiciness isn't insistent, either, so it's an easy-drinking, dry sake that's easy to sip 😄 It goes well with sashimi of yellowtail 😋 In addition, there are quite a few people on Sake no Wa who are posting the same thing as Hiroshima's turtle age and Shinshu's turtle age... 😢

Purchased at Traveling SAKE Sparkling with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is very sweet and sour. The flavor is a little bit peculiar, but it's delicious.

Saku 13 Breweries series after a long time. 7th brewery and finally the turnaround point. It was purchased at the souvenir shop at Saku-Heira station. The label says "brewing water" and it looks like they are particular about water. It is said that the water around here is soft water, and it becomes hard water a little further north near Mt. Perhaps that is why it has a mildly sweet and spicy taste. The sweetness comes at first, but as you continue drinking, a pleasant bitterness emerges. I looked at the online store and found that there is a Keio-approved brand, which is interesting.

So this is Miyakanbai's warehouse? I heard that it is read as Ousaki with a bush warbler in bloom. It is slightly fluty. It is crisp and easy to drink. I can't choose either Miyakanume or Yushisaki!

Japanese>English

It is a local sake, but I drank it for the first time. It had a soft mouthfeel, followed by a bitter taste and a nice sharpness. I learned from the label that it is called "Osaki. According to the explanation by the brewery, this sake is made by growing Miyamanishiki, Aikoku, and Hiyori rice in the company's own rice fields in Osaki, which is undergoing reconstruction.

Japanese>English

It is dry, which is good for a mealtime sake, and goes well with side dishes.
