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 😆.

Japanese>English

[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👍.

Japanese>English

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.

They use a yeast called "Kyo no Koto" which was jointly developed by Sasaki Shuzo and the Kyoto City Institute of Industrial Technology. If that's the case, why don't they write it on the label? It's quite floral, but banana-like. At the end, the sourness kills it. So far, I don't think I've had a bad bottle of Fuoh.

Japanese>English

I bought it at ●Maya because I thought it was rare to find Tomiou's Yamahai. It was sweet with lactic acidity. Then there is a bitterness with a graininess. A little peculiar? A little nutty. It has a complex taste with caramel and creaminess. After a few days, it tastes like yogurt or calpis. After a few more days, it's hard to describe, but it has a type of habit I don't like...

Japanese>English

Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (¡Ω) Very yellow. Delicious and mellow as expected! Although from the Fushimi brewery, this sake would definitely be better suited to those who prefer San-in sake! I've been afraid to go to Kyoto since the new cologne, but this makes me want to go to Fushimi to buy some! But I still don't have the guts to take the train only in the direction of Kyoto where there are many tourists! Still, this sake has enough charm to make me brave enough to make the decision to go to Fushimi, even if I am trembling!

I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁‍♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Japanese>English

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.

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.

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!

A great recommendation from a liquor store in Aizu. This deliciousness, strike ❗️❗️❗️

Japanese>English

This is also a Sota's Hump Society exclusive🍶. Nice to meet you also Kita no Hana. The aroma is sweet with a hint of richness. In the mouth, it has a rich, dark, sweet flavor that is typical of nama sake, and then it finishes with a slight astringent taste. The richness and astringency of Yamadanishiki was delicious✨.

Japanese>English

First brand name Kita no Hana. It is a backroom deal with a sake teacher. Even if I say it is a backroom deal, he will sell me any rare sake at the same price I bought it from the liquor store, and even if I tell him I will take care of the transportation costs, he stubbornly refuses to accept it. I told them that if I sold them at a higher price, the liquor store would take me on as a reseller, and after that, they would never sell me rare sake. The fact that you can normally drink Jyushiyo at home is based on the mutual trust between the seller and the buyer. Kita no Hana, the label is very attractive. I don't detect much of the Kamitatekoso, but there is a round, unfamiliar aroma in the back of the bottle. The mouthfeel is moist, calm, and elegant with sweetness and soft umami, and the rounded aroma in the aftertaste is fruity. The acidity and bitterness are both moderate, and it has a mysterious sharpness that just flutters and closes. It is really a round, gentle and mysterious sake, and this must be one of its balances. Thank you very much for the sake!
