Junmai 🍶. Hot sake. about 55 degrees. ♨️ Sweet umami. Slightly dry aftertaste, not mellow. Mellow and gentle. ☺️ My wife says it's like a rice ball 🍙. Full of rice flavor. choinomi KATSU@Takasaki station 20240204

It's a little bit more expensive, but It's a very elegant, sweet drink! It's kind of like the sweetness of a muscat! It's 500ml, so it'll be drunk in no time!

Japanese>English

It's foamy! I'm sure it's just cider or something. Mild sweetness, or is it the sweetness of the cage? Clear aftertaste! It's delicious 😋.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin, 30 bottles of Niigata sake cups 🎉Chapter 1 Sweet and sour. Zarame. Gentle ☺️. Good with Hokkaido Hakkaku sashimi to get rid of the cloying taste👍Good with fat rather than plain white meat 😋Warmed up to 50 degrees, mild. The riceiness is up, and the acidity is softened. It also has a sweetness. Order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami, drink at home 20240315

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

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.

Japanese>English

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....

Another bottle was opened at the Kizuna Festival. Golden crystal that saw the light of day at Izakaya Shinkansen. Gold Crystal label expressed with a characteristic figure. It is one of my personal favorite labels. The top-tasting aroma has a very classical sake flavor. The mouthfeel has a light umami from a hint of sweetness. First contact is lighter than expected. The finish is again full of sake-like aftertaste, with a mild acidity and a strong bitterness. I had imagined it to be a more mellow and stand-alone sake, but it is considered to be a high performance food sake. During the festival, I served it with tempura and dried scallops that I bought and brought with me, and it was quite good! Thanks for the food!

Japanese>English

Tonight I'm having this one 🍶. I got this on my trip to Fukushima last month! I've been wanting to drink this since I saw it on Izakaya Shinkansen 🍶✨. They are the only sake brewery in Fukushima city😃. Mellow, refreshing, oicy❕. The aroma is slightly fluffy 💠. Slightly crisp but still mild 🌸🍶✨. This is a great one ❕. I'm glad I found you 😆. I also love the fukushima saké💗. It's very tasty.

Paid tasting, a bit expensive at 400 yen, but the surprising ginjo aroma, muscat-like taste and gentle flavor were delicious. It was nice to see replicas of the display of colored papers of successive prime ministers pasted on the wall, showing their individuality. A web search revealed that Fukubito is I found on the Web that Fukubito was the first sake brewery in Japan established in 1917 as a joint-stock company by investment from sake brewing companies mainly in western Japan.

Japanese>English

Purchased during a visit to a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima. When the bottle was opened, it smelled a little like magic ink. It tastes sweet like white sugar and has a relaxing flavor. It was different from the tasting. It tastes good, but... On the second day, it tastes just like I tasted it at the brewery. It is delicious with well-balanced flavor 😊.

Japanese>English

Last Sake on the Second Night of Hiroshima Night It is said to be a limited edition sake for the district. After drinking so much, I honestly don't remember much about it, It's a solid, rich sake. I had the impression that it had a slight rice flavor... I was under the impression that it was a little ricey... Hiroshima Night is now over: ☑️

［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👍.

The last one is Fusozuru. It will be served warm. The top-tasting aroma is that of thick rice. The mouthfeel is clear and the umami of rice is directly conveyed. The aftertaste has a slightly matured or aged feel to it, but I think this is what makes the umami so convincing. The finish is soft and fluffy, with a soft acidity and astringency. The image is quite dandy and austere. Fuso is an old Japanese alias, but when I think of Fuso, I think of the Mitsubishi Fuso truck or the battleship Fuso of the Imperial Navy. In the arcade game "1943," which I was addicted to when I was in junior high school, the sinking of the Fuso was the climax of the first half of the game. I like the sound of "Fuso". Thank you for the food!

I've always been curious about the brand ❗️ Finally got around to drinking it😊. The aroma is subdued: ❗️ The sweetness is just a hint of sweetness. It has a good flavor of rice when it is on the lees 😄. The taste is silky and clean, probably due to the use of Koshihikari rice. The taste is silky and refreshing. ❗️ There is also a sense of gas and even after a few days, it still tingles 😆. It is a very nice wine. As it says on the label, it is a very delicious sake that goes well with any meal.

Junmai Nama Nama Sake 🍶Non-pressurized Nakakumi ✨. Sweet, pleasant ☺️I had an image of strong sea sake, but this one has a gentle taste.

Udo tempura is also delicious 😋. Sea and @Takadanobaba 20240312

Rice used is Yamae Nishiki It is supposed to be a sake that goes well with mushrooms, but in the end I did not pair it with mushrooms. However, it has a gentle sweetness, and it was just plain delicious. It also had a mushroom-like flavor, though it was only vaguely. Bitter and astringent tastes are close to that. It's a sweet sake, juicy, but clear and elegant on the palate. It was well balanced and certainly seemed to go well with mushroom dishes.

Sake from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 58 Alcohol content: 14%. 🍶I wonder if it is my imagination that I have a preconceived notion from the label that it tastes like eringi, and I enjoy having my senses bug out so much that I can no longer evaluate the taste. But in the end, it's delicious. The photorealistic mushroom picture is too good to forget for a moment. The shiitake mushrooms go on. ⛲️ "Izumi" series: 3) ［Thanks to the liquor store I sometimes go to.] ［Comparison of drinks at Shiga Izumi (2/2).

Drinking outside after work. My wife was off work and we decided to have dinner outside. We found this restaurant in the vicinity of Nara Station - ‼️ We couldn't find a good time to drink at Toyoshuku, so we went to this restaurant and had a glass of Nara's local sake, Shirotoroku (‼️). The aroma was gorgeous, the taste was smooth and sweet on the palate, and the finish was refreshing.
