千代の光は以前から気になってたけど初。米は越淡麗だそう。微発泡でマスカット感。火入れだけどフレッシュ感強め。最後は苦味でフィニッシュする。ここの生酒飲んでみたいなぁ

It is a well-balanced sake that is fruity, refreshing, and has a crisp finish. Vinegared harakkyo mushrooms as a side dish

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. It is a light and round sake with a clean and crisp taste. As the temperature rises, the so-called "sémé" aroma and sweetness, as well as a stimulating spiciness, become apparent, giving the impression of an "aluzoe" sake❗️. I love this kind of refined Honjozo!

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

This sake is made by Shimazaki Shuzo in Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Smooth on the tongue and sweet in taste, this is a sake to be drunk slowly.

Japanese>English

Smooth texture on the tongue. It is a delicious sake with matured flavor and sweetness. It goes down your throat and has a deep flavor.

Japanese>English

Special sake that I got as a gift when visiting the shuzo. It is new year blended koshu released from the brewery every new year time. It blended the Daiginjo from year 1989, 2001 & 2013. Surprisingly, its still very light body - unlike other koshu which makes you too full. I like the aroma, while soy sauce and umami is significant, you can also feel the raisin, dried grapes inside. On palate it leans more towards coffee, toffee & dark chocolate. Serving hot is a good choice too.

My father bought it for me as a souvenir from his trip to Aomori. The nose has a faintly acidic aroma. In the mouth, there was a delicate acidity from the sake yeast and a calm, gentle sweetness and richness. It was a crisp sake, typical of Sakuta's special pure sake. It was delicious, but it was not so good when it was warmed up 🤔.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ This restaurant is owned by a master from Hirosaki, so it is an Aomori attack. At first I thought it was a little peculiar, but it is rather tasty.

Japanese>English

Actually? Surprisingly, Aomori's alcoholic beverages that you haven't been drinking This is also a first for me, Sakuta, freshly brewed, ibushigin It's refreshing and delicious 😋. Gentle sweetness and gentle acidity. Clear, light, but not dry. But is it dry? When you say it like that, it has a kind of "smoked silver" feeling? Not flashy or glamorous, but a nice working image? 🥳

🐳🌊 Good ✨ when drunk chilled. Overall, it has a dry taste with a nice sharpness. It gets a little dry as the temperature rises, Best when fresh out of the fridge 😋.

Same place, same time. Just like always. I had a delicious meal...

Japanese>English

Whale wave is next. I thought it was your first time in Gifu Prefecture and you got one 😊. The aroma is fresh and fruity by nature, with a slight hint of hineyness, perhaps because the bottle was opened 3 months later. Well-balanced fruity. Almost no acidity. A full-bodied flavor softly appears at the end of the bottle. Although it is a draft sake, it is quite soft and mild. Maybe soft water? 🤔 It is best served cold or chilled. It seems to be difficult to age.

When I went back to my parents' house, I didn't have any sake in stock, so I bought this bottle at a nearby supermarket. It was sold for about 1,000 yen in an ordinary supermarket that rarely stocks sake, so I honestly thought it would be good if I could drink it, but it turned out to be a very tasty sake that greatly exceeded my expectations 😆. It has an elegant sweetness and a light mouthfeel that breaks up nicely without any miscellaneous flavours, making it a good all-round sake that can be drunk alone or with food👍. The sake has been awarded the Gold Medal in the Wine Glass Sake Award 2020😄. It's a great sake to drink alone or with food.

Japanese>English

480 yen A clear peachy sour smell. When you shake it, you can smell the sparkling smell. Pear peach thin bitter taste. As you drink it, you can drink it like water, with a sense of rice in the distance. It is delicious. When it is heated up, the chestnut and rice taste comes out and it is refreshing. It is easy to drink. It seems to reset the inside of your mouth. Delicious both cold and warmed.

Japanese>English

Sharon's favorite drink! At the sake shop Yamaya I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I chose two bottles that I have never drunk before. I wish I could have been able to drink them.

interpoint (interword separation) Chose Inamuraya, which I haven't had yet 😚. Delicious ❗️ But... I compared it to another Inamuraya💦. Sourness? Maybe it had a spikiness to it😅.

Japanese>English

Aomori Sake Inamuraya I used to drink outside. Special Junmai was done. There are not many check-ins for this sake. It's a sake from Aomori, so... This time, we've been taking our time with the fruity sakes we've been enjoying lately, and this one is freshly brewed and dry. It's a bit of a quirk, but it's very crisp and clean. I don't heat sake. I don't warm sake, but I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It's also good when it's settled down. It's also good when it's settled down.
