Fresh Ramune Acidity Bitterness Dry

The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki It is more rough than fresh. However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly. I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere! I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

Japanese>English

Banana like aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet. After that, the dry taste or the feeling of running spreads to the mouth. There is a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is sweet. Tsuki no Ii has a new toji (brewer) this season, and they are making sake under a new system. I can't wait to see how it changes 🤗

Purchased at Maya I've had Aizu Ryugasawa before, but this is my first Eikawa. The initial aroma is pear-like. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness like green apple. Not too sweet and dry, like a cider.

Japanese>English

I'll upload more and more of my accumulated sake 😅 I've never had this sake from Eikawa before: ❗️ It's a 13% light one: ❗️ Not much aroma 🤔. It's easy to drink with a gentle sweetness ‼️ I could drink this sake with ease😊.

Japanese>English

There is sake in Tohoku. The owner of Aji Sodara Okachimachi in Izu, whose parents are from Fukushima, also has sake from Fukushima. The quality of Fukushima sake goes without saying. From the sweet aroma, the taste is less sweet and full-bodied.

A heated sake corner is a must! Yamadanishiki 80 This one is also very dry and powerful! I asked where they sell it... Seriously, I have nothing to do! I want to go to Hattori Ryokuchi and buy some!

This is my first time in Kumi no Ura. I've only seen it at Isetan Kyoto. It has a fruity aroma, light and refreshingly sweet. It seems to be popular among women. It is different from the impression on the label.

Japanese>English

I drank Kumi no Ura a long time ago, but it made little impression on me. I tried to remember it well this time, but my memory is not so good in this area😅. I think it was dry and refreshing, made with Koshihikari rice.

Japanese>English

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a dry sake with a very thick core flavor and a lot of graininess! If you like strong dry sake, this is the one for you! I was traumatized because I was surrounded by jellyfish when I jumped into Kumihama from the wharf a long time ago. Thank you very much!

My favorite Chiba sake "Iwanoi" is brewed with ultra-hard water (hardness 240). It has the delicious flavor of Omachi and the moderate bitterness and sharpness of hard water! The taste is deep and the acidity is dignified! It can be drunk as it is, or as a food sake...no...food sake🍶 is better 🙆I'm sipping it with boiled gammo and sashimi...🙆I'm sipping it with a side dish.

Japanese>English

A trip to Boshu, a place of binge drinking and binge eating... Sake from Chiba is not to be underestimated! Sweet and fruity aroma, sweet taste, but the rice flavor...enjoy! I'll go to Iwase Brewery tomorrow and get some!

Japanese>English

You can buy it directly from the sake brewery. It is a quaint sake brewery. It is brewed with "So no Mai" sake rice from Chiba Prefecture. The aroma is a hint of rice, and the taste is very fresh. It was brewed with very hard water, so the aftertaste is sharp! I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

Personally, this is my third S Kaze no Mori, and so far it is the closest to the usual Kaze no Mori in terms of flavor (banana and melon-like), or perhaps it has the same flavor as the usual Kaze no Mori. However, it's still refreshing with zero low-pasteurization feeling. I guess it's hard to feel the intention of this sake for the third glass... 4.50

Next stop is the Wind Forest✨. There was a Trial Edition available, so I ordered it: ☝️ They say it's homegrown, pesticide-free rice 😊. Fruity aroma, rice flavor, sweetness and acidity are well balanced in this delicious sake 😄.

I see that it is read as "Sekepikozan". If I had not drank this sake, I might not have been able to read it correctly for the rest of my life. The taste is fresh and quite rich. The bitter bitterness comes out in the back of the mouth, and the taste is sharp and clean. The sweetness is modest for Aizan, and although it is not the modern type of sake, the umami flavor is very well conveyed. Not bad!

Japanese>English

I've been wanting to try this one for a while...they use 1801 yeast. It's gorgeous and fruity. It's also quite sweet. I think it's the most gorgeous of all the Yukihikosan brands. This was over 2,000 yen at Asano Sake Shop, but at a local liquor store it was 1,980 yen🙄. I wonder what it is? I heard some breweries and stores add on shipping costs 🤔.

Japanese>English

Sake opened at a remote off-line meeting (3) I was asked "What is the best sake you drank this year? I answered "Aozora", but later I remembered that it was the future of sake from Akabu newborn 🤣. By this time I couldn't even remember what it tasted like, so I checked again the next day. The rice used is 100% Benkei. It is a kijoshu, although there is no description. As it says, it has a thick sweet taste. Sweet and sour. I can only drink a little at a time because kijo-zake is so thick. A neighborhood liquor store owner told me that they make sake in a 200-year-old building. He said that the equipment is also old.

It was sold in advance at the brewery opening but I couldn't go, so I bought it after the official release. The top aroma is a bit like high cooked rice. It has a gentle sweetness and volume. I was surprised that it was more drinkable than I expected. It is relatively low in alcohol, but the taste does not make you feel so.

This is a 2L pack of Kuromatsu Shiraga Junmai. This is my first time to drink Kuromatsu Shiraga. It is delicious with normal tasty acidity 🍶🎶.

Aroma: A twang and an alcohol smell? Despite the package, it has a traditional sake feel 🍶...with 80% polished rice, it is a robust, rugged sake...full of wild flavor. You can taste the umami of the rice because of the low rice polishing. It seems to be a good marriage with "Ota Horumon". .... But I'm drinking it at home, with chicken yakiniku, meat 🍖 and other snacks....

Japanese>English

Local sake...the package does not lie! Fresh and fruity...sweet rice aroma, sweet mouthfeel! A good bitterness in the aftertaste...a little sweet...Teimatsu is also this kind of sake...I think it's better to drink it sipping it rather than as a food sake...delicious 😋...

Japanese>English

I went to the brewery to buy it... The fruity aroma is a far cry from the fruity aroma, but it's a manly brew, 19 degrees, rich and dry. As the alcohol content is high, you can feel the sweetness of the Omachi flavor... on the rocks... With chicken sashimi as a side dish and yuzu ponzu as a side dish, the chicken skin is sipping in yuzu ponzu...

Staying at a hotel today, and found a Riccar stand! I would drink! I chose one dish. Beautiful dry, old-fashioned? I thought it would taste It also adds beauty! I think it is good, dry after a long time.

I bought it because it happened to be in a Seven I stopped by. The drink was mild and easy to drink with a sweet taste. It seemed different from the atmosphere around the station... (laughs)
