The next sake was Zuikan. My first sake. I don't remember this part anymore, If I see it again somewhere, I will have to learn it again.

Japanese>English

The entry is soft with a slight citrus aroma, and the overall taste is dry with a moderate amount of flavor typical of Omachi rice. My wife and son had bought some spicy chicken from Saizeriya's take-out, and we enjoyed it as a snack.

Brewed by Yamaoka Sake Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima Brewed by Yamaoka Shuzo Zuikan Junmai Happo Nigori Nama Shuzake The bubbles are so strong that it is difficult to open. It is hard to open.

Sour? Rice? Thin smell. Mouthfeel is syrupy, sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness, but the bitterness fades away with the sweetness. Sourness like strawberries? It is like a noble sake. When mixed with Ori, the sweetness is softened and it is like red grapefruit juice. The sweet and sour impact at first is great, but it becomes refreshing at the end. Amazing!

Japanese>English

This is Yonetsuru Super Dry Junmai. This is the second time I've posted this sake. I've been drinking it at room temperature and it's still delicious 😋 The rice flavor and the firm acidity are great. It's a dry sake with a rich taste.

Japanese>English

Yonetsuru Sake Association Next, Junmai, a pure rice made from the raw yeast I was expecting lactic acidity from the sake's yeast yeast, but the acidity was not as strong as I expected, but rather gentle and pleasant. Although it had a slight alcohol taste, it was easy to drink. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Barrel sake packed in cedar barrels and flavored with cedar Light and dry taste suitable for in-dinner drinking. The aroma of cedar on the palate is followed by a lingering aftertaste. It has a lingering aftertaste. You can drink it smoothly without getting tired of drinking 🎶.

Here's the rice! I'll have it hot today. 720ml ¥990 It's hot sake. Not much aroma. The mouthfeel is clear and easy to drink without getting stuck in the throat. Today's pairing is octopus and wasabi. By the way, I prefer it a little warmer than the top warmer. I plan to have it cold tomorrow!

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Japanese>English

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

Japanese>English

It's very mature for a spring sake, but I guess that's what nighttime cherry blossoms are for. There is a slightly floral aroma, but it's not enough to bother me, just enough to change my attention a bit. It is gentle and tasty, but the line is thin and I would like to see more thickness.

( *´*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No.3 Today is the 3rd day of cup sake life 😀 We got Kamito cup sake from Okaya City😋. Good balance of flavor and sharpness 😚👍This is a delicious sake 😊. Tomorrow I hope to visit liquor stores and breweries to get some Nagano sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 I opened my first bottle of Kamito today 😋I thought it was an Autumn Sake so I went online to ☝️ and found it was a new sake from last winter 🤣. It has a freshness and a freshness in the mouth that is typical of the raw sake 😊After a strong acidity, it quickly runs out of flavor 😀. It is a delicious sake 😚👍 so I would like to try the sake over the summer next time 🤣.

Japanese>English

Kamito Junmai Ginjo Petillant Rice polishing ratio 59 Alcohol content 17%. Kamito is another brand of Toyoka. It is said to be characterized by a gaseous sensation, but perhaps it was too long since the bottle was opened, or maybe there was not much gaseous sensation. But it is modern and delicious.

At home. This was a gift from my wife, who had been watching my daily posts on Sake-no-wa, as she was addicted to sake. I was happy to receive this gift, but at the same time, I wondered if it was safe to order it online. I have to admit that I was a little concerned. After taking some commemorative photos, I was ready to try it. The aroma was fruity. When I put it in my mouth, it had a fresh, slight carbonation, a strong sourness and sweetness, and a strong bitterness at the end, making it very easy to drink. I thought to myself that continuing to drink will produce various effects, and I will continue to enjoy my life of drinking.

Japanese>English

Snowy Matsushima, a gift This type of sake comes in a box with an ostentatious string tied around the neck of the bottle. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but there is a sense of bitter alcohol in the back. The mouthfeel is clean, sweet and delicious, with a clear sake quality and no unpleasant alcohol taste, making it a quintessential expensive sake. It also has a nice sharpness from the mild bitterness. It was a treat!

Japanese>English

The oldest daughter and her husband gave me a bottle of alcohol as a year-end gift🍶. It's refreshing and light 🤗 Umakuchi delicious 🤤. I'm currently doing a lot of pots and pans. I'm having a lot of fun with pots 🙋🙋.

I'm sipping on a small portion of the Smoked Dish assortment from a certain Niigata supermarket...mackerel, salmon, eggs, baby scallops, cheese🧀, nuts...it's a great time to be a drinker. Smoked Dish assortment.... Happy...

Halcyon looks just like poor grass, or so I found when I looked it up. Peach, lactic acid, wood, fresh smell. It has a light peachiness, a refreshing, yet tight acidity, a taste of rice, astringency, and finally a spiciness that spreads rapidly. It is delicious, but the price is too high. It is a good food sake, but the price is too high. It is too good to drink with chilled tofu. I like it. When I ate it with food, the spiciness I felt when drinking it alone was converted into umami, and the subtle sweetness and umami made me want to eat more. When I ate it with fish, I enjoyed the umami and savory taste. It is delicious. The smell gets stronger as the temperature rises. The second day. Juicy. Grape-like.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today, I received a bottle of Hakkaisan gourd 😀 Today is another hot day🥵.

A little bit of a schwash and bitterness is good~! The supernatant has a light umami, like it softens when mixed with the lees (my opinion) 🤭 Delicious! I bought a bottle of Tateyama at the Square Sake Shop on the way back from Shima Onsen, and it was a good buy 🤤. I'm glad I didn't go home empty handed because I didn't have any Sakiyami.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I just had a bottle of Koshinotaka that I bought when I went to Fukui Prefecture on an errand the other day 😀. The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can taste a slight banana🍌 sweetness 😚 clear flavor and dry aftertaste 😊 good sharpness 🥰 good sake to drink during a meal 🍶.

Japanese>English

First Eagle of Koshi. Dry, clear and light. A little sweetness and acidity. The last taste is a bit bitter and lactic acidity. The impression is that it is a food sake type. When you drink it again, it is light and refreshing, but there may be a trace of sweetness like melon or apple. It seems more pungent when drunk as a food wine than as a stand-alone wine... On this day, I went to see a manzai and a shinki play at Namba Grand Kagetsu during the daytime, and went to a B'z concert in the evening.

Souvenirs from my husband's business trip to Fukui I have been enjoying it slowly since the weekend. I guess it is the type of drink I don't usually drink. I felt it was dry. I think I like it better at room temperature because I can feel the flavor☺️. Souvenirs are fun to experience sake that I wouldn't have chosen myself 😊. My husband said he chose it because he thought I would like the atmosphere of the label 🤣. Yup! Beautiful label✨ I'm enjoying it with my meal💕

I had Shinshu Soba for lunch😊I love Soba, so I am very happy to find a Soba restaurant when I walk around here😍I have a medical checkup in early July, so I want to eat Soba and be healthy 🤣.

Recommended by the shop, it is very soft on the palate and leaves a not sweet rice feeling and a faint bitter taste. Nagano's sake is good.
