I've always been curious about it because I often see it at Takashimaya, but this is my first time to drink it. The rice is Asahi rice and Yamadanishiki. It is fresh and has a strong sweet flavor, but the aroma and taste are a bit unique. I also feel a bit of hardness. I'll give it some more time and see how it goes. Apple and honey-like sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It is heated to a high temperature. It's what I call a good heated sake. It's just plain good.

Bought directly from the Mukho Sake Brewery... Aroma: Slightly cemedine? As the label on the back says, it's a solid and heavy sake. It is like a local sake, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit of a problem, but...it soaks into your guts...it goes well with strong flavored snacks...smoked hoya and stewed tuna...I enjoy it with a little bit of it....

Japanese>English

This is also a gift from my youngest son... a local Chichibu sake from my hometown of Chichibu, Saitama. I know you may not like it, but...it goes well with Chichibu's hormone...and today's snack was...freshly kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) from Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The third one is Mukho Masamune, next door. Rokkaku-san was also visiting 😅 Fruity, a little sour, but delicious 😋.

The first bottle was given to me at a certain president's house, to whom I am indebted. The rice used was ㊗️. Celebration is Kyoto's original rice that was revived in the Heisei era and is suitable for ginjo-shu (ginjo sake). It has a very elegant sweetness and aroma and is a premium ️sake. It is smooth on the palate and goes down smoothly. It was gone in no time. It was a treat❣️.

Japanese>English

100% Kyoto sake rice, celebratory rice Slightly sweet strawberry🍓 like aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, but then you are surprised by the acidity and tanginess. The aftertaste is elegant, with a hint of strawberry flavor again. The second sip is easy to drink like water without the tanginess, as if you have gotten used to it. It reminds me of Kyoto's obanzai (traditional Japanese food), with a strong but not overpowering character. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is Kyoto's sake.

After three days of rest and after a night shift, it's been a while since I've seen you🙏. It's the first time I've ever had it, but the sweetness and flavor of the figure fills my mouth 😋. This is the first time I've had it. I paired it with nabe, but I think it's better to drink it by itself or with a small dish rather than as a food sake🤔. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, so I'm savoring it slowly (*'omega'*).

Japanese>English

٩٩@🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today was the first time I had this 😀. Not much aroma, but it has a mild mouthfeel and a sweetness that is typical of Aizan 😚 It is smooth and cuts through with sourness and bitterness 😊. It was delicious 🥳.

I think it's a figure spring sake-🍶. Nice pink label-⤴️✨ Mellow, crisp, oicy❕. Slightly spicy feel is a nice touch-✨ I'm enjoying it very much(^-^)/

This Sake is very interesting. It has a citrus flavor like grapefruit. The flavor really cleanses the pallet.

Junmai nama-shu YAMADANISHIKI 90 Rice polishing ratio 90%❗️ This is the challenge sake of Michiko Urasato, the female toji of Yui. Yamada Nishiki is brewed at 90% polishing ratio without polishing. The taste of the rice is rich and intense❗️, but there is a light fizzy feeling. There is also a little bit of orage mixed in. This is why it is milder and softer in the mouth than I expected. The aftertaste is refreshing. It's amazing. Michiko Urasato, Toji 💡. I had it with ginger yaki, and it was delicious. The sake and side dishes go well together😆. I've heard that if you let it sit for a few days, you'll get a different taste of the rice, so I stopped at halfway today. I heard it's also good at different temperatures.

It is fresh and crisp, and you can feel the flavor of the rice. It goes well with both fish and meat.

Japanese>English

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

Got it at Furusato. It is mild and has few peculiarities. Not so sweet.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Japanese>English

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.

Japanese>English

☀️ I've been seeing a lot of Toyoaki lately 🧐. I'm out drinking and trying a little 😁. It's a thin nigori🤍 with a hint of rice🌾. Sweetness is pale and soft on the tongue😚. Feels super slightly carbonated, a bit like cider🫧. The flavor lingers in the mouth and has a great aftertaste 😚. The crackling and lingering taste certainly has a "fireworks 🎇" feel to it 🤗.

The aroma of sweet rice...fruity...sweet in the mouth and with a crisp finish! It's a little bitter, but I don't mind it... but it's great for sipping on a glass of wine during meals or just sipping it on its own... it's really good.

Junmai Ginjo ◉紬美人 Junmai Ginjo The first taste is sweet and fruity, with a slightly complex finish. The toji (master brewer) is Mr. Tsutomu Umezawa, a Nanbu toji (master brewer).

National Sake Fair 2025㉓ Ibaraki Prefecture⑭ Nomura Brewery in Joso city. I thought that there would be a lot of XX beauty if I look for it 🤔. There seems to be a French restaurant attached to the brewery! I found out that the regular junmai ginjo has a more classic label. This one seems to be a modern type named "Grand", so I wonder if they are making a modern label? This sake won the Platinum Award at the 2017 KURAMASTER Sake Competition Polishing ratio 55% Yamadanishiki from Ibaraki 15.3% Sake degree +1 3000 yen Fruity and sweet but a little strange? Maybe the taste of Senhime is still in the boar's mouth😅. I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed Nemuchi's picture.

It's a dry and crisp junmai sake with a very high alcohol content of 18 to 19 degrees. It's not for beginners...but I think it's good 😋. I've been drinking it with octopus sashimi on the side.

Japanese>English

The aftertaste is refreshing, but but it has a rich and solid taste. I drank it as a midday drink, but but you can also enjoy it by itself.

Aged sake with a mellow aroma characteristic of aged sake, aged for 27 months in a low-temperature warehouse. It is more like a Junmai Aki-agari, a mellow umami-guchi. It is good as a food sake. Since it is brewed with rice Haenuki, it is not fruity...and the lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is also bothersome. Would it be good hot?

Japanese>English

I bought it at a local liquor store because it was super limited. Fruity and strong taste. Slightly bitter and spicy. Sake with a gorgeous and elegant atmosphere. If it is too cold, it may be hard to taste.

Nectar, nectar! This is it! Nectar. No sourness, no bitterness. It is not too sweet, however. It is a gentle sake (⚪︎). It is a gentle sake that goes well with dried fish.
