Drink and support 📣 Hokuriku sake This time we will have Nene, a sister brand of Shirakiku from Okunoto! So, be careful! The aroma is full-bodied sweetness derived from grains and elegant and clean acidity. When you taste it, it matches the image of the aroma perfectly! The moderate sweetness and elegant acidity are the best match, and it's extremely delicious! It goes well with food, especially Japanese food 👌 In addition, it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, so it goes down smoothly. It was the right decision to buy a bottle! I will drink it with care...

One of the sake I wanted to try because of the stylish label❗️ A hint of pear? White peach? It smells like pear or white peach 😅 Elegant sweetness and almost no sourness ❗️ No bitterness or habits, and the aftertaste seems to disappear easily 😄. Overall, it's a gentle sake that goes well with meals. It's a delicious sake that can be drunk easily on its own 👍 Even sake beginners can enjoy it 😄.

Japanese>English

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

Japanese>English

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.

Even if it's the same rice. Each rice field has its own characteristics. Each rice paddy has its own personality and characteristics. Jo series. I drank this one. The name of the rice field I drank was "Senkari". I can feel the strong commitment. It has a transparent sweetness. It was easy to match with meals.

Fruity and delicious. It can also be used as a food sake. It is a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

Oh! It's delicious. This sake is recommended by Kado-ya Sake Shop, which has been a great help to us. It's raw sake, but it doesn't have a sticky aftertaste. It's a raw sake, but it doesn't have a stubborn aftertaste, so you'll find yourself saying, "Mo~a glass! Today is still Tuesday....

(Holy shit!!!🍶🍶🍶🍶 The last day of GW in no time 😭 To close out the holiday, we opened a bottle of our local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😀 It is a recovery sake brewed by Yukawa Sake Brewery 😊WOM gave us the information and we were able to purchase it 🙏. Nice fruit-like aroma typical of Okunoto's Shirakiku😊Elegant sweetness and umami are as delicious as before 😚👍Gentle acidity spreads slowly and disappears with a clean aftertaste✨. It's still the same delicious sake that is typical of Okunoto Shirakiku 🥳.

Japanese>English

('ㅂ'* )🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku today 😀. The bottle was opened with a high pitched jupon💕 The aroma is mild, but the mouthfeel is clean and dry 🤔The sweetness comes out slowly and gently 😊The aftertaste is gentle and acidic 😚👍. The raw sake was a little harsh, but it has matured and become mellow😇Shirakiku is still a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

(((((*´sigh*))))🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we got some local Ishikawa white chrysanthemum 😀. We traveled by car to Yamagata and Akita prefectures for the holiday weekend. I just came home and was going to drink the sake I bought, but I had to take a break with the local sake 😙. The aroma is mild 😚 and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the banana and the rice flavor 😘 the gusto and the delicious acidity swells up in your mouth and disappears quickly 🥰. Shirakiku from Okunoto with concentrated umami There is also a delicious local sake 💕

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

Japanese>English

I bought this after tasting it at the brewery that brews Diachiku in Chino City. It has no label on the front 😳it is a raw sake with alkaloids. Every December, locals come to buy this sake. It's been six months so it doesn't have a lot of pizzazz, but they say it's very stable. I first tried it cold. Alcohol content: 20%. The taste is pleasant, with a nettled rice flavor and a hint of sweetness. The spiciness that comes afterward is also nice. On the second day, we served it lukewarm. It was very tasty with a deep sweet flavor spreading through it. It makes you feel refreshed. It went well with the tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of wakasagi (smelt) and sea bream that we bought in Suwa. This sake is good with hot pot and 🍢, and I would like to drink it in winter.

I found this Fukushima sake at Aeon today. I was wondering if I should buy it last time I was there and didn't, but I was curious so I bought it this time. The label said it was dry, so... it's definitely spicy ☺️. It's delicious and it's only about 1,000 yen so it's easy on the pocket.

It has a freshness reminiscent of flowers and grasses, and a gentle yet fragile taste. The modern light sake quality, like limpid spring water, is clean. It may seem thin if you are used to strong flavors, but the gentle taste of koji and lingering acidity make it refreshing.

Japanese>English

2021/08/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Juicy sweetness like a ripe melon. The acidity is a little moderate and round. The rich flavor of the rice comes through. The impression is beautiful, gentle and healing. It is a sake that gives the impression of being "gentle and sincere without being delicate. This sake has the same impression.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Sota Watanabe Shoten in Aizu❗️ Since we are in Aizu, we want to buy sake that can only be bought here 😊. It's my first time to drink this brand ❗️ The aroma is moderate and the taste is very refreshing ❗️ It doesn't have any special characteristics but it is well balanced as a food sake. It's a good and easy to drink sake👍

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival 10] I'm on my 10th cup of sake 😁. I was looking for my favorite "Hakugakusen" and found that it was only available on the first day of the event, so I went here instead 🍶. Unnoi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo. Banana-like aroma, gentle sweetness on the palate, and a lingering mild umami aftertaste. I have a connection with "Kumonoi" since I brought it to the Kansai Sake-no-Iwa offline meeting I attended last summer, and it is still delicious when I drink it again.

Japanese>English

This bottle was given to me as a birthday gift last year. I've been accumulating a stock of sake, so I decided to drink it slowly. It's a rare opportunity to see a bottle of sake in a tobin enclosure! It makes my heart dance ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell a slight ginjo aroma. It is almost scentless. The mouthfeel is very clean, but the soft, milky sake quality and subtle sweetness of the rice gradually covers the tongue! The spiciness and the strength of 16% alcohol can be felt in the latter half of the bottle, but the overall flavor is moderate. I think I have not had such a clear sake since I drank the highest quality sake of "Akagisan" (12,000 yen for 720ml)! It is as pure as a gentle breeze. It quietly accompanies you from the beginning to the end. The taste is the very embodiment of "elegance. It is a good bottle to drink by itself or to enjoy as a food wine! Enjoy it carefully over the course of the day👍.

@Koriyama Iando After having a drink in Omiya, I got tired of going back to Tokyo, so I jumped on the 🚄 and went to Koriyama. I decided to have a quick bite in front of the station, but it was crowded everywhere, so I went to a new restaurant that I found. They have a good selection of local sake, and I chose "Yuri", which I had never had before, and it is from the same brewery as Aizu Nakasho! I heard that this sake is brewed by a mother and daughter who are both sake brewing technicians! It has a soft sweetness at first, but eventually it becomes slightly dry and pleasant to drink. It is very easy to drink, which is impressive and delicious.
