Mellow, oicy 🍶. Is it a good taste ✨? I'm enjoying it.

It has a clear, yet subtly sweet and umami taste. The final acidity gives it a sharp edge. The taste has an atmosphere that it can be matured. I expected it to be a little sweeter and fruity, so I was disappointed... It has a thick and extractive mouthfeel. It has a nutty flavor but finishes with a refreshing acidity.

It has a very pleasant balance of sweetness that doesn't linger and a bitter aftertaste. ❣️ It is even better at higher temperatures. This is a good umami sake!

My first brand❗️ I've never had a Kamikimoto before, but I bought this one because of the nama-shizukuri 😊. It has a sweetness and aroma like melon botanicals, and a little bit of a thickening effect❗️ I've never had a Kamikimoto before, but I was drawn to this one by the nama-shizukuri 😊 It has a melon green aroma, sweetness, and a bit of a thickening effect.

☆☆☆☆☆ In order not to drink up the Supin Taichi in one day, I opened the second bottle. Refreshing and gentle sweetness. It's light to drink, but you can also taste the flavor. It's low alcohol, so I'm sure I'll finish it.

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

This is another Michinoku favorite, Fukushi Shiboritate nama-shu, new rice, new sake. It has a fruity aroma with a hint of fruitiness. It has a bit of sweetness, but the bitterness finishes it off, making it a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

I have a new impression of Ehime sake 😁. I had never had much Ehime sake before, but I had an image of it being somewhat mellow and dry. This sake is completely different, it is light and slightly acidic, and together with the bitterness in the aftertaste, it is somehow like grapefruit 😊. It also has a bit of a fizzy feel and is very easy to drink as there is no unpleasant spiciness that lingers in the throat 😋. If it were a little more sour, I think I would find it too sour for me, but this level of sourness is just right 😄. I'm only one bottle away from the nationwide domination of the four-gouple bottles or more limited edition. The last one is in Osaka, when can I achieve it? 😅

The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.

The third souvenir from back home A bottle I bought last year! Brewed with rice from Ehime and water from Saijo The impression of a crisp sake rather than the "gentle mouthfeel" on the label It's still hot, so it's just right for me!

It has a white wine-like aroma, and although it is 80% polished rice, it has a refreshing acidity and umami flavor with no cloying taste, and is rather dry 🤔. It is well-balanced, so it seems to go well with a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, tonight we had it with hand rolls 😁.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I had my first glass of Drunken Heart, which I bought at Hiroshima Station when I was in Hiroshima City on business 😋. The aroma is mild 🤔I can feel the umami of rice in the mouth 😚 I can feel a little sweetness, but it goes down smoothly 😊. I felt it is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed with food or as a stand-alone sake 🥳.

We bought it at Shiramizu Sake Shop in Takaramachi, Kasuga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The owner was very kind and explained a lot about sake, and when I told him I prefer fruity sake, he recommended this sake. When I asked him about the meaning of "oishu", he told me that it means to store new sake at a low temperature for a long time. It was a good learning experience. It stung me because I like it sweet. Thank you to the owner who introduced me to this delicious sake.

This sake was created by the young successor of the brewery, who wanted to make a light and easy-to-drink sake. He was trained at Akebono Shuzo in Tenmei. Expectations are high 😊. It has a beautiful sweetness and is very easy to drink ❗️ It seems to go well with any meal and is a versatile player. I hope more and more young sake makers are getting involved and the sake market is expanding 😆.

[I like it, ferry 😆 ] I've had a couple of sake from Watarifune so far, and they're usually good 😋, with a nice balance of umami and bitterness from the gentle sweetness. I think Naminoe is a rare brand that you don't see much in Tokyo. I bought it for the first time, and I got the impression that it is moderately sweet and refreshing. The aroma in the background is a fresh melon candy type. It is more suitable for simmered dishes than sashimi👍.

Fruity with a pear-like aroma. The sweet and sour taste is very delicious. This sake is from Izumiya in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. A great sake to drink after eating sardine rolled in seaweed as a Tsumami.

295 yen. A little more expensive than Asahi Super Dry 500ml can. It has a thin, pear-like smell. It tastes bitter from the beginning when you let it get some air from the sake-like taste, and it has a light, thin taste until the end. I think it is 3 times more intoxicating than Asahi Super Dry.
