Full-bodied dry taste. The bitterness is backed by a strong rice flavor. It is delicious!

Open the bottle❗️ Huh?　You're not well. There's a warning on the bottle, but... I poured it into a glass, but no bubbles came out. The taste isn't bad, but it's a bit bitter. The taste isn't bad, but it's a little bitter. This is... What's wrong with Kitajima Shuzo❗️?

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Mutsugorosan 😆 Natsu⛱. Gentle ☺️. Suddenly into the body. A little creamy. Like Pocari after sweating. A little dryer in a cup than on a flat plate. The picture on the label is Mutsugorouno from Ariake Sea 😅 Paired with pickled sardines with sesame vinegar. It's also excellent 🎉. KUITTO@Yono 20230819

Arrival at today's inn. We will have a yakimugi bento (barley lunch box) bought at Tosu station on the way to the hotel! When the bottle is opened, it has a pudding-like aroma. It has a mild, pudding or custard-like flavor, just like the standing aroma, and the soft, round sweetness is really pleasant! The tanginess of the brewing alcohol can be felt directly afterwards, but it can be enjoyed with a good balance! I couldn't distinguish it from the one-cup sake for a moment, but it is a fine Saga sake.

Japanese>English

Drinking Past, Drinking Home November finally arrived! The label of Mutsugoro in the shape of Saga Prefecture is unique 😊. It was a bit chilly that day, so I had it at room temperature! The aroma is grain-derived flavor and acidity. On the palate Surprisingly sweet! There is enough umami and acidity, and the bitterness that comes out after a while is moderate. And the lingering aftertaste is short and finishes quickly... It's delicious 👍

Aged one year 🍶. A blend of Fukunoka x Yumenoka x Omachi✨. I don't really feel the sense of maturity, It has a mild and calm taste. Best served lukewarm 😋.

Japanese>English

This is my first brand of sake: ❗️ A blend of Yumeko, Fukunoka and Omachi ‼️ I can't imagine what it tastes like🤔. No aroma, gentle taste but you can feel the richness as it passes down your throat❗️ It has no particular quirks and has a cohesive taste. I enjoyed drinking it 😊.

Japanese>English

I was called to work in Tokyo. I don't like cities. The National Diet building is beautiful with gingko trees in full color. I was surprised that it didn't smell like ginkgo. It is as expected. I went to a restaurant whose name I remember for the first time in a long time. There are a lot of gingko nuts, so I chose the ones I don't think I would buy by myself. Oh, it's full and sweet. It has a nice sharpness👍It has a nice Fukushima feel to it.

Ginfuki is produced in Shiga Prefecture The second bottle of Makuake limited edition It's elegant, easy to drink, and goes down easily. It's not just smooth, it's full of sweetness and flavor❣️. The acidity is well balanced. It has a great potential to be a great sake.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Hida Hidahomare from Hida Almost no sense of maturity To put it simply A light, dry sake with umami. I would say it is a light, dry sake with a great umami flavor. It is good as a food sake! It was a great match with grilled fish.

Japanese>English

Tenryo, which I ordered at a meal on my trip. It was a freshly brewed and stored Honjozo brewed with Hidahomare. I usually don't drink Hidahomare, Honjozo, or Nama-Seizou, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to drink it. The color was crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is quite mild, with mineral and earthy notes. When you drink it, it has a slightly fruity overtone. Next comes a sense of minerality and a hint of sweetness. There is also a slight white ball-like feeling. The acidity is smart and not too assertive. Bitterness appears a little at the end. The lingering aftertaste is pale and slowly fades away with the bitterness. As is typical of honjozo, it has the sake-like flavor that is generally imagined by those who do not normally drink sake, but it is a food sake with a fruity character that is typical of freshly stored sake. It's meant to be served at ryokans, as it goes perfectly with fish, vegetables, and other Japanese dishes! I've been drinking a lot of sake that can be drunk on its own, so I'm very satisfied with my first "food sake" in a long time! It may not be a hit with those who only accept easy-to-understand sake, but for those who like dry sake, or those who want to enjoy a marriage between sake and food, or to complement food, this is a naturally delicious sake.

I'm eating meat. I got the recommended liquor. It's a cooking liquor, right? It was a nostalgic taste that reminded me of my school days Let me also tell you that we have a lot of delicious sake because we purchase it from Oyama.

Japanese>English

This is from the father of my oldest son's wife💕Thank you💕 I received this 📌720ml ¥ 🍶. Here's the rice 🍶. Not much aroma. The color is a pale gold. The taste is refreshing 💕 A little sweetness from the rice 💕 A little bit of sweetness from the rice💕 A little bit of spiciness comes a little later 💕I don't dislike it 👍It's very stable 😁It's like an all rounder 👍 I didn't get the same impression as the label on the back 😅

Japanese>English

It's Tori Aristocrat, so this is the only sake I have.... It was cold in the restaurant, so I made it hot. It smells like alcohol.... It's hard to drink. When the temperature dropped to room temperature, it became easier to drink. I've had it cold before, but it's the type of sake I'd expect to be warmed, but it doesn't go well with warmed sake...

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

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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!

I've been making my way to restaurants with good service lately. Today they served me a fresh aged sake. Today is February 6. This is my first Kinkame. My first impression was that it was very good! Next, it has a strong umakuchi taste. The acidity at the end is good, just like Yamadataro. It is like a light kijoshu, and it is delicious. Shiga is nice.

Japanese>English

This one has a milling ratio of 80. Full of sweetness! It spreads slowly in the mouth.

Japanese>English

In Sakewa, there are two separate brands, Kinkame and Kinkame, which is the correct one to register? Kinkame's "Drink this" is 70% polished. It has umami, richness, and a moderately classic feel. This is also a delicious sake.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

Japanese>English

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇
