sake rice Sake rice: Mashigura Tsugaru Roman Deep and dry, with a well-balanced aftertaste, delicious! ✩4.0

Japanese>English

drinking alone Sunflower 60%. It was 18% alcohol! I felt it was strong as it should be! LOL! It has a unique flavor, but it also has a nice sweetness that makes it interesting! I can't be adventurous when drinking at home because the portions are so large, but when I drink outside, I can be adventurous even if it doesn't suit my tastes! There was an interesting kisai called "Tokusen Junmai Aged Nama Sake" (special junmai aged sake)! It is said to be aged in ice temperature. I don't know about the mellow acidity, but I think I understand the expression "clear umami"! 4.5 points I was surprised at the sweetness of this wine when I first started drinking it, but as I got used to it, the sweetness became more pleasant! I don't know if I'm getting used to it or getting drunk! LOL! But it's good!

Japanese>English

The ginjo aroma, the rice flavor, and the alcohol taste are all there and amazing. It's amazing. It's delicious, but I feel like I'm going to get really drunk.

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

When I see the name Bodhi Hashimoto, I tend to pick it. It is a refreshingly light, light and umami taste. I think I prefer the blue bottle I bought before. thanks KURA Taro (Sapporo)

This time it is "nine nine The final"! 🍶 A large amount of it was in stock at a local liquor store ✋. This is the last of the nine 😭. I was not lucky enough to have a chance to buy it, and when I finally did, it was the last one 😭😭.... I will savor it to the fullest! 🥺 The aroma is a ginjo aroma with a hint of sourness! The aroma, which is not too strong, wears a luxurious elegance. As a lover of sourness, I have high expectations at this point! The first thing you notice in the mouth is the acidity, but it is not too strong! However, it is not too strong and lasts until it passes down the throat at the same time as the aroma and sweetness! It lasts until it goes down your throat at the same time! What a delicious taste...! ...and then gradually the sweetness gets stronger and stronger to the peak of sweetness! Quite sweet! 🗻🗻🗻. The fruity flavor of white grapes stays deep in the mouth even after swallowing, extending the aftertaste! 💚🍇 It's amazingly delicious. ...... I wish I could have had a chance to taste it sooner... ...... No, I should be glad I got to drink it at the end! LOL! I may not be able to drink this brand anymore, but I will check out the brewery's future! 💪.

We ordered at Benkei no weibasho, an izakaya near Niigata Station. This restaurant is operated by a local conveyor-belt sushi chain, and we were informed that their seafood dishes are sure to be good, so we made a reservation and visited. I was curious about this sake at Ponshukan, where I had wandered around during lunch. Niigata is known for its dry sake, but this one is quite fruity. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with sashimi. I mean, too much throat groyne!

Japanese>English

58 days after opening the bottle. When I drink it, it seems to warm up. It is delicious as a heated sake. It is a sake brewery in Sado Island.

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Niigata Sake no Jin. Although it is a regular sake with no added sugar, the sweetness of the rice can be felt well. For everyday drinking, this is a good enough level of flavor. Delicious, highly recommended.

I bought it because a liquor store in my neighborhood started handling Tajima. I was surprised at how fruity it was. It is fresh, moderately sweet, and delicious. It is a more modern sake than I expected. After drinking this after the first time, it feels more like a sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

This sake was tasted at the Kobe Hankyu event and made a good impression, and was highly praised by Nemuchi-san. A liquor store in my neighborhood became a special distributor, but I was wondering why they didn't carry this sake. It was in the fridge of a point system sake, so I thought 😅😅I thought, "No way, I can buy it normally. I thought so, but I was able to buy it normally😅. It's confusing💦. The rice is Hyogo Nishiki. Sweet aroma. It is fire-aged but has a quite rich flavor. It is better not to cool it down too much. It is a little smoky.

I got this from my grandson for Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day. This is the third of four. It is a gift from my grandson. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Not much aroma but it's rather fruity 💕 The color is beautiful. The mouthfeel is smooth. The taste of rice is more pronounced than the sweetness. A little bitterness is felt a little later 👍 Today's pairing is squid sashimi. It goes well with 💕. 300ml will be gone soon! It's totally delicious 👍! Thanks to my grandson, I will have it again today ✌️

It was easy to drink and fruity. But the taste of the rice is also very good.

A gift from a guy at work😊. It's a clear, easy-drinking, delicious sake 🍶. It's like a lower strength version of Kikusui. It's the type of sake I never buy myself so it's fresh 😊.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bold and has a full mouth feel. There is a warm sweetness and is slightly dry. The flavor reminds me of caramel apples with a hint of wood. The finish is long. Refreshing and strong.

I bought it after tasting it at Hankyu Department Store. I've said it many times, but it's called "Takarayama" 😅. I'll say it again and again😅. It has a heavy mouthfeel for a fire-brewed sake, but I wonder if it's a raw sake? I got the impression that it was wrapped in a gentle sweetness from start to finish. It also has a lot of acidity. It tastes better than when I tasted it.

Japanese>English

It has a clear, refreshing taste with a good sweetness. It does not have a strong impact, but it can be drunk calmly. It is a good food sake. There are several varieties of this "rice bag series" with different rice, so it would be fun to compare them. I like "Hozan". ❣️

7 points (Wife 7.5) Rice : Ehime Shizuku Ehime Rice polishing ratio : 60 Sake Degree : ±0 Purchased from: Mizuguchi Shuzo, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture Silent when opened, no gassiness Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of rice flavor. The same mild aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. Overall, it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is good for accompanying a meal, but it may be too smooth as a stand-alone sake. The taste may have changed since the one I bought from a brewery in Ehime this time last year came out of the fridge. It went well with spicy grilled minos and Umaibo shrimp mayonnaise flavor.
