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 ✌️

18°🍶 But it is light and easy to drink without feeling the 18%. It goes well with horse mackerel and bonito together 😋. I went to the Expo at the beginning of GW 🚗. Seeing is believing. It's fun if you go 🤣. The day after the Expo, we went to Nara Park 🦌. Sento-kun was so shy with me. He took a picture with me 😘.

The second bottle was selected while looking at the owner's handwritten sake guide🤗The only sake brewery on the west coast of Aomori Prefecture, or so we were told! It has a soft aroma reminiscent of bananas and apples, with a rich rice flavor and umami. It is quite mellow, but has a high acidity level and a nice crisp aftertaste 😚. Serve with Hoya no Shiokara (salted sea squirt)

Sake Tasting Gacha at Sasaki Sake Brewery This is another sake limited to the brewery. It was sold in a refrigerator, but I'm not sure if it was fresh sake or not. Gorgeous and fruity. Dry but delicious. 4gou 5500 yen 😱. Most of the high-end sake was made with 1801 yeast.

Salmon Monogatari in Kansai(´・ω・`) Red is the color of the bottle. It has a moderate ripeness, and the more you chew it, the deeper the flavor becomes. The more you bite into it, the deeper the flavor becomes. It makes you want to have something to eat. It is the type of sake you want to drink slowly, so it may not be suitable for events.

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! 💪.

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.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 4️⃣ This is another sake that we brought back from Taido, the brewery we helped at the Japanese Sake Festival😇. This limited edition sake was empty with 10 minutes left until the last minute 😅. When I asked the brewer what to do, he said to open the bottle because some customers still wanted to drink it, so I did. The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt it was very sweet and fruity, but at the end, a beautiful spiciness followed and it was a very easy-to-drink sake. The sake from this brewery has a sake level of around 0, and I was a little worried about the sweetness when I was allowed to drink it on site, but I was told by the brewer that this was the dry type of sake, so I recommended it to customers who prefer dry sake when explaining the sake, and I felt I was right 😇.

Japanese Sake Fest Osaka Spring 2️⃣ Spring Nigorinpic 60 Today, I spent all day at the Japanese Sake Festival venue, pouring sake for visitors at this brewery's booth 😀. The brewery owner was a nice person and recommended that I drink the sake to make sure it tastes good because I'm sure the customers will ask a lot of questions 😇. The sake from this brewery is almost exclusively distributed within the prefecture, so of course it was my first time drinking it, but it was really delicious 😇. The sake I liked the most was the Arabashiri light nigori that I had yesterday, but my second favorite was this Pink Taido 😀 Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to try the light nigori or the pink Taido, so I had to wait until the next day to try them. Unfortunately, all of the light nigori was gone after the tasting and sales, but the sake I liked next was left, so I was able to have it as a thank you for today's visit😇. It was the first time for me to see the customers from the staff's side, and I was happy to see them smile when they drank it and said it was delicious😇.

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.

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!

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.

Salmon Marche Week. Memory is hazy. Records are illegible. Here is the record. Kaga no Tsuki no Heating.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

Koshino Hakugan is a 50% polished ginjo. This is a light, easy-drinking ginjo-shu that is typical of Niigata sake. Serve with tempura of wild vegetables.

Japanese>English

I've never seen this brand before. It's mostly consumed in Niigata Prefecture, so it's not sold outside the prefecture. I was lucky enough to drink it 😄. It's chilled but very juicy, and it's a true trendy combination of sweetness and refreshment. I drank it at the end of a drinking party, so there wasn't much left of the knob, but it's a very powerful drink that works well on its own. I'd really like to taste it at home, so if I find it somewhere else, I'll definitely buy it 😙. But I drank too much yesterday 😨

Japanese>English

This is one of the breweries we look forward to drinking at the Sake-no-jin every year. When drinking the supernatant, it smells a little bright and has a firm taste with a sweetness that is typical of Koshitanrei. It also has a nice sharpness. When mixed with ori, the mellowness increases dramatically. It has a stable taste and is highly recommended.

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.
