I drank it before and it was delicious 😋, so I'm going to repeat...sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate...good acidity? It's still delicious 😋 and it's right on the money! Delicious on its own or with food 🍶😋... .... I want to drink it again 🍶♪

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 This sake is unusually a little yellow for a Daiginjo. It has a light Ginjo aroma and is easy to drink and delicious. It is a good sake of the costa.

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got a bottle of Hato Masamune today 😀. When I bought it last year it was a daiginjo and this year it is a junmai daiginjo🎵I drank it because it is a mixed junmai daiginjo 😙The aroma is mild when you drink it, it has a good flavor, no sweetness, and it is sharp. It seems to be a good sake with excellent cosmetics😁.

A beautifully bottled summer sake. The taste is sharp and light, just like summer sake. I tried drinking sake on the rocks for the first time and it is quite good. It is more light and easy to drink 😁.

Japanese>English

Appropriate for the New Year, A gorgeous sake with gold dust. The ginjo aroma is rather subdued, The sake has a clean finish with the umami flavor of rice. It is easy to match with meals.

Japanese>English

Even rarer of centrifugation, The supernatant portion is extracted at low temperature. It is a "diamond in the liquid", It is a "diamond in the rough". Transparent sweetness of rice, and the condensed flavor of the rice. This is truly a bottle of the highest quality.

Craft saké made with local grapes from Shiwa-machi, Iwate Prefecture ^ ^. Sake is clean and refreshing. The sweetness of the grapes and the sweetness of the rice are blended together to create a refreshing, light flavor. The layer series, which means layers, is made by adding a variety of secondary ingredients such as fruits and fermenting them together. We look forward to the future development of this series.

Japanese>English

It is the grape of the LAYER 🍇. Sweet 🍇 aroma 😘. When you take a sip The sourness is stronger than I expected 😳 The moment you think it's sweet, the sourness comes rushing in! It's like grape juice. The aftertaste is like... red wine 🍷😋.

Purchased at a local supermarket I didn't have such high expectations, but it has a fresh, fruity flavor with a strong umami. It also has a nice sharpness. It was a cosy evening sake. ❗️

Japanese>English

Juicy and tender, with the perfect balance of flavor and full-bodied sweetness. Very tasty.

Japanese>English

The rich flavor and juicy sweetness give it a sense of volume. Yet, it is a good sake in that it is easy to drink. It is very tasty.

Tonight, I'm back at work after GW, but naturally I'm not very excited 🥴. This one is brewed with Dewa Sanzu and Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The aroma is mild without being showy. It is a versatile sake with a soft sweetness and acidity of cucumber and herbs and a clean aftertaste that is also very sake-like 😊. It is as delicious as the rumors say 😋😋😋😋😋.

Tonight, here is a very popular project sake from Yamagata 💁. La Jomon Shoumon Koji Triple Masamune Nama Sake 2023BY✨. I think it is safe to say that this is the second most popular sake after Jyushidai. I think it is. Well, it's hard to buy and sells out quickly 😫 Now, this is the first Koji Sanbai Masozo-shu Nama-shu in my house. As you know, the specs are as perverted as you can imagine 🤣 it is made with Dewanosato x 66% koji ratio x 66% milled rice ratio x Kyokai No.6 yeast 🤣. The taste is very pleasant with the strong acidity of triple the koji, and it is easy to drink. It is not white koji, but it reminds me of a certain cat sake 😺.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this one to accompany my dinner of kochi and kampachi sashimi and squid cod roe 💁. La Jomon Six Nama Sake 2023BY✨ We happened to have a lot of Six Nama Sake on hand, so we'll have a quick bottle. When I poured a glass of chilled sake, it had the usual mild uri aroma, a beautiful acidity, a little sweetness and citrusy flavor like Pocari, and the second half was a mix of astringent, bitter, and spicy flavors. It can be served alone or as a mealtime drink. I'm going to try the "Murasame" that some of the connoisseurs in the area are trying later 🙌

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 😨

Sake brought back from our trip to Niigata Sake recommended by the lady who was selling it. Very gassy 💨 Sake with a strong moromi Dry and crisp 💪. It's a nigori sake, but you can drink it with gusto as a food sake 🎵.

Japanese>English

For my fourth cup, I decided on the "Koshihikari" which caught my attention! The palate is clean and refreshing, but as you taste it, it mellows out a bit with a banana feel. The acidity tightens it up so that it does not interfere with the taste, so it is well-balanced and easy to drink👍.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part61 Niigata (3) Ikeura Sake Brewery in Nagaoka City The brand name is derived from the spirit of mutual respect advocated by the Nagaoka-born philosopher, Kyozaburo Nomoto. Polishing ratio 50%, Takane-Nishiki 15.5 degrees, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.4 2200 yen with box It has a moderate ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. Light and dry, typical of Niigata. At the Niigata booth, we were served sake by Miss SAKE Niigata, who told us we were drinking only maniacs 🤣.

I see that it is read as "Sekepikozan". If I had not drank this sake, I might not have been able to read it correctly for the rest of my life. The taste is fresh and quite rich. The bitter bitterness comes out in the back of the mouth, and the taste is sharp and clean. The sweetness is modest for Aizan, and although it is not the modern type of sake, the umami flavor is very well conveyed. Not bad!

Japanese>English

I've been wanting to try this one for a while...they use 1801 yeast. It's gorgeous and fruity. It's also quite sweet. I think it's the most gorgeous of all the Yukihiko Yama brands. This was over 2,000 yen at a certain izakaya in Osaka, but at a nearby liquor store it was 1,980 yen🙄. I wonder what it is? I heard some breweries and stores add shipping costs 🤔.

Japanese>English

Sake opened at a remote off-line meeting (3) I was asked "What is the best sake you drank this year? I answered "Aozora", but later I remembered that it was the future of sake from Akabu newborn 🤣. By this time I couldn't even remember what it tasted like, so I checked again the next day. The rice used is 100% Benkei. It is a kijoshu, although there is no description. As it says, it has a thick sweet taste. Sweet and sour. I can only drink a little at a time because kijo-zake is so thick. A neighborhood liquor store owner told me that they make sake in a 200-year-old building. He said that the equipment is also old.

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 ✌️
