I wonder if this is a special version of Starburst🤔I'm not sure what "Noma" means😅 It's cloudy with a strong acidity! A little cedar aroma. A bit harsh. I still want to warm up the sake 😆 I drank 5 cups of Kumezakura and hardly drank any beer even though it was a beer festival 😅. Keyaki-hiroba Beer Festival @ Saitama Super Arena 20230915

We opened a bottle at the office. This is the first time we have had "Shirasagi no Shiro", another name for Himeji Castle. At first I drank it at room temperature, and from the second glass I drank it on the rocks, and I could feel the gentle sweetness of the sake. The taste reminded me of Tengu Mai's Yamahai brewing. I'd like to try it warmed.

Japanese>English

The location changed and we went to Hyogo Sake EXPO 2022, a local sake event in Hyogo, at Kobe Hankyu. I tasted a regular product, a draft version. I had tasted the hi-ire version before, so I wondered what the draft version was like. It was easier to drink than the hi-ire version, but not to my taste. I prefer the Shirasagi no Shiro (castle of the egret), which is made with Nojoho.

Japanese>English

The only place I can think of that uses Nojoho is Okutanba. The overall impression is gentle and the taste comes slowly. It looks like wood, grass, or herb. It also has a classy atmosphere. The sake here is not my favorite, but when I find it, I buy it for some reason.

It's white and looks like ❄️⛄️. Sweet and mellow I was expecting it to be thicker, but it's pretty easy to drink 😊. I read the label on the back and it looks like it would be great with soda! I should have tried it! I realized today that I should have tried it. All the drinks in this set are new to me. I was also surprised that the bananas had a higher alcohol content! ฅ(⊙д⊙๑)ฅ

It's the first time I've had a sake from the west, and I was expecting it to be more heavy, but it's surprisingly refreshing. It has a gassy and spicy aftertaste with a 19 degree alcohol smell that flows away.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Sake cups purchased on my trip #4 This is my first time with Kenrishi ✨. The aroma is full of umami 🤔. On the palate, it has a caramel-like aroma, sweetness and depth of flavor, yet it's clean, crisp and easy to drink 🥰It's a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

This time we changed things up a bit and bought a bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishi❣️, which we fell in love with at first sight because of the shape of the bottle and the coolness of the label. I had it lukewarm with my homemade oden🍢🙏. It's also good that you can heat up the whole bottle in a ding-dong! It has a bit of an alcoholic aroma, but I don't mind it too much. It's just as spicy and easy to drink 😮❗️ It's like an evolution of the classic type of sake? and I enjoyed it with food 😚. The bottle is stylish and I'd like to keep a bottle in stock for when I want a little heated sake 👍 Thanks for the food!

Rice used is unknown There is a bunch! It has a very "Yamahaku" feeling. The sense of maturity is also there. The taste is dry, but the sweetness is spreading on the tongue. The sharpness is not bad either. As the temperature rises, it becomes milder. This type of sake tastes better when it is not too cold.

@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

Japanese>English

Hyogo is the sake of Himeji City. There are still many sake that I do not know. It is deep~~! It is said to be a mellow dry junmai sake. It is said to be super-harsh, but it did not give that impression. It was rather sweet. By coincidence, the mellow and thick pattern continues. It is also fresh. It is, quite frankly, delicious! It is also good with food. And I think it goes well with ice. I feel like I'm waking up on the rocks (laughs).

Japanese>English

Dry! The taste is dry and the aftertaste is smooth. Very tasty.

(*∇￣*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It was a very cold and snowy day in Ishikawa today, so I opened a bottle of Gunma Izumi to warm it up 😀 I'll start with room temperature 😁I've been drinking a lot of Yamahai lately, so I think I'm starting to get the feel of Yamahai 🤔It's solid and delicious! I've been drinking a lot of 😋 warmed up 😋, the aroma and taste are doubled and it's delicious. I've been drinking it for a while now and I'm starting to get a feel for it.

Japanese>English

I️ am a Junmai sake drinker so I️ don't drink a lot of alsobe sake, but it's very easy to drink. It's like a forest brewed with a light nigori ✨✨. I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

A little cloudy with a light gassy feel. Fresh and crisp. It has the impression of an adult ramune. The Gunma Izumi I drank before was good, but this one is even better.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

Japanese>English

I found this in the back of the cup sake fridge, I wonder if this is the same Ryosen cup I drank before? I think it has a similar cocoa taste or something, but I think the bottle was much stronger, I'll ask next time I go to buy some summer sake. Of course it was a delicious sake, I'm looking forward to summer sake!

Japanese>English

This is Hiroshima sake we received as a gift. It is also delicious! The first glass was dry and sharp, but from the second glass, I could taste the fruity flavor of muscat...I guess. 300ml is just right too (lol). Local sake is fun, isn't it? Thank you for the sake! We will definitely win...Carp!

It is Oku-no-Matsu Special Junmai. We drank it chilled. The aroma is mild, but when you put it in your mouth, it is fruity and delicious sake. You can buy it at the supermarket. It's delicious 😋

Junmai Ginjo Genshu with 55% polished rice. It is full of freshness because it is Arabashiri and of course the aroma is very strong. When you pour it into a glass, it has a light cloudiness characteristic of arabashiri, with fine bubbles - it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma, with notes of green apple, white peach and green melon. When you drink it, you can feel the fine bubbles through your throat and it is very fresh. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

This is Oku-no-Matsu Special Junmai, my second time to post. This is the second time I've posted this. I had it at room temperature. It has a mild aroma and is a delicious sake that you won't get tired of drinking.

This is also in the Co-op catalog. The moment you put it in your mouth, it's refreshing and mild, but in the latter half, a fruity feeling comes. It has a strong feeling for its strength.

Japanese>English

I was curious about it in an obfuscation kind of way, so I bought a trial. It's been sitting in my cellar for over a year for some reason, but let's see how it tastes 👀. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it was moist and had a peachy aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, just like the name "Sarari". It is just as moist and slightly sweet as the aroma, and tastes just like a peach! The slightly green and sour taste gives the taste a hint of Mac's pickles 🍔. I didn't know that "chirp" means "birdsong. I've gained another piece of knowledge via sake 😌.

Tasted and purchased at a store sale🍶. First time I've seen this brand. I wonder if anyone can read this from the beginning 😅.
