Purchased at Seibu-Chichibu station. It has a classical Japanese sake flavor. It is better to drink it as it is with strong flavored food than to drink it as it is. ⭕️ A robust Junmai sake... maybe not my favorite...

Japanese>English

I drank it all so fast: ❗️ It was a tangy, fizzy and tasty rice flavor.

This is my first Chichibu Nishiki 🍶. Here's a souvenir from camp: 🏕️ Refreshing and easy to drink✨ It's a junmai ginjo, but it goes down like water 😛.

At home. Kumamoto sake, Sung Kaoru, purchased on an expedition to Fukuoka. The Sansho I was looking for was sold out, and I managed to find this Kumamoto sake. It has a smooth, refreshing taste with a slight bitterness at the end. It was a dangerous one that was easy to drink. After a long time, I took a walk around Motomachi area in Kobe by bicycle, bought some gyoza (Chinese dumplings), and went home. Since it was Saturday afternoon, Sannomiya and Motomachi were quite crowded, and the city seemed to have regained its vitality.

drinking at home (as opposed to going out) This time, I asked the liquor store to deliver a bottle of the recommended one. SakaoruBalanced and delicious 👍️.

Japanese>English

Fukuoka! They have sake from Kumamoto! I'll have to order some. This is my second time checking in to Kumamoto, so I'm a little happy. The Classic. The direction of this drink is quite different from yesterday's Hibyotsuru. It doesn't interfere with the meal.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. I've been drinking it with mackerel tataki, wild yellowtail, squid sashimi, and tuna sashimi.

Japanese>English

It was a gift ✨. New politics again! First time for Uhei Sato It's so delicious ✨. It's a little fizzy and sweet, just like Shinsei. It's very easy to drink, but... You can feel the flavor of the rice well ☺️. I was going to drink it for my birthday, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Shinsei.

There was one that caught my eye, so I had a glass. It was a good, refreshing sake, which I didn't think was a honjozo. Delicious.

Japanese>English

Ibigawa! We received this from kino.✨ Thank you kino. for everything 🙇‍♂️ First of all, cold sake! Sweet and delicious! Alcoholic taste like Honjozo! Then hot sake The alcoholic taste is mellowed. And the sweetness and umami are amplified. It's so good! ❣️ With yellowtail sashimi from Harunobu in Niigata! It went really well together 😋.

Japanese>English

On the first day, the taste was modern and classic, with a honey-like sweetness that asserted itself. The next day, the flavors are balanced and mixed together to create a delicious taste. For home drinking.

Tonight's sake is a Shiraito Brewer's Nigori sake from the famous Shiraito Shuzo, which I had the pleasure of meeting at the brewery during my trip to Fukuoka in late May. When we visited the brewery, the proprietress and her little son were very attentive to us, and we were very grateful for the free tasting, which they usually don't do 😊 We bought a bottle of one of our favorites, so we're going to open it now 🙌! The rice polishing ratio is not stated, but I think it is more than 70% polished. The aroma has a soft lactic acid nuance that is not typical of sake. The taste is easy to drink with a slight sweetness of rice in the supernatant and umami flavor 😋 It becomes completely cloudy when mixed with a significant amount of lees, but it has a smooth mouthfeel and is more delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I feel like I've been shvitzing at the gym for two days, but drinking this is a negative rebound, but when it comes to horse mackerel and monkfish sashimi, it's a MUST 🍶. I bought this 💁 at a brewery when I was in Fukuoka. It's Shiraito Sillite 70 ✨. Unlike Tanaka Rokujugo, this sake seems to be distributed within the prefecture, but it is a 100% Yamadanishiki Junmai sake from Itoshima, and when I tasted it, I enjoyed this lowest-purity sake 😋. The sake has a very clear and clean structure, with a hint of sourness from the ginjo aroma of the cucumber, and the rice is sweet and full. The finish is very crisp and very excellent. ☺️ It is best when it returns to room temperature from chilled. ⭕️

Japanese>English

It was great to drink it as a sake without any peculiarities😊. I think I like it better than Tanaka Rokugo🎶.

Koshikoi Nama-zoi is a freshly stored sake. This is the first sake from Chiba. It is slightly sweet and surprisingly refreshing. I've never tried sake from outside of Chiba Prefecture before. I would drink it every day!

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Cups of Sake Purchased on Trip #3 We had our first Kouzutsuru 😃. I think the aroma is almost nonexistent at room temperature 🤔When you drink it, you can feel the thickened flavor and sweetness spreading 😚The alcohol additive seems to be working well and the aftertaste is refreshing ✨😊It's a very delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

This is a reminder during a business trip.

Japanese>English

A cup of sake bought at the souvenir corner of Himeji station. I took a sip, thinking it was probably dry... Yes, it is dry. It is refreshing, but has a sourness. Sake from Hyogo Prefecture is basically dry.

From the jacket, I thought it would be a light, dry, smooth and elegant type 🤔. When I drank it, I found it to be medium dry with a solid richness and flavor... 😋 I felt like we suddenly became friends🎶. Sauteed peppers with salted kelp (salted kelp flavor), turban shells in a jar, goes well with a variety of Japanese food😻 It's also a great gift 👍✨.

Japanese>English

At the tasting. It's clean, clear and beautiful. Not bad, but I'll hold off. There was a tasting of the raw Izono, but they didn't have it in stock, so I didn't drink it. I'm interested in the raw version.

Japanese>English

I usually don't drink that much 🍷 and 🍶 a little vacation. I only drink Nouveau 🍷 at a small wine specialty shop owned by the owner, who has experience as the best sommelier in Japan every year. (I told him that I actually like Sake and he said that he only drinks Obuse Sogape and one other sake brewery for everyday drinking...I'm curious...wait a minute...he came from the back and brought me this! I'm sorry, I don't know this brewery...but they have hiyaoroshi and yamahai. So he shared his favorite hiyaoroshi with me! It's easy to drink, has a nice mouthfeel, and is dry with a nice flavor and sharpness. It's also delicious and reminds me of a white wine! The Nouveau chosen by the owner this year was expensive... but he said he had no choice because of the weak yen and the international situation.

I bought this sake to try a sake from Shinshu, a region I was not familiar with. After purchasing it, I checked the label on the back to see what the specs were. ⁉️...no label. It looks like it was removed 😅. Takizawa is a mysterious sake. It had a clear sweetness with a strong rice flavor and a nice aroma 😆.

Tochigi Kenmin Kai 2024🌸②②. The second glass was Takizawa Tokusozu Shiboritate 🍶. Nice to meet you! Gorgeous aroma! Sweet and tasty with a little bit of sourness It is refreshing and has a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

😄 Uhihihihi. The picture in the middle is Takizawa. I found this sake at a liquor store but thought "maybe another time" so I'm drinking it. I don't know what "Nakaguchi" means, but to me it feels sweet and, well, it's also delicious. Nagano sake is really good, I thought.

The freshly squeezed aroma... The sourness is strong on the palate, and there is a bitter aftertaste... Is it because it is freshly squeezed? It's a little rough. It's a good choice to drink with tuna and squid sashimi.

Japanese>English

The first Kinokuniya Bunzaemon! It has the fresh aroma of unpasteurized sake and a smooth, non-viscous mouthfeel. When you drink it, the spiciness comes quickly, but in the end, it disappears, leaving the flavor of rice and a lingering aftertaste. It has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees, which makes it very drinkable, but it is also very refreshing and tasty.

Japanese>English

Here's another one that was given to me. The aroma of the sake is very alcoholic. The taste is sweet and delicious. The aroma is the sake! You can feel a little acidity and bitterness in the finish. I think it is a bottle with a moderate heaviness in total. The taste is similar to that of Kadoden from among the already-checked-in products. The efficacy report says it is good at room temperature to warmed sake. It's a solid sake, so it's best not to chill it too much. It's good for summer! It was not a good one! Thank you for the food!
