The label is unexpectedly attached on two sheets. The second one that I turned over, The second label is a nice beckoning cat with both hands raised in the air. The taste is mellow and autumnal, The taste is mellow like an autumn sake with a fresh sweetness like a pear. It is easy to match with meals.

Japanese>English

It is a light and refreshing sake! It's a great match for a midday drink!

Japanese>English

This was the first time I drank Abe-kan at home. The one I drank in the past was a special sake with a special kijoshu spec, so I don't think it was any different from the first time I drank it. It is dry with a strong gassy and acidic taste. It is not that sweet, but it is easy to drink because of the sourness. I don't think I've ever seen Abe-kan sold anywhere but Edion Namba.

A gift of Tokyo's local sake. The aroma is old-fashioned, with a hint of cemedine...the mouthfeel is full of the flavor of rice. As the label on the back of the bottle says, it is a new sake, so it is fresh, but it has a rough taste, maybe a little dry. I wonder if it is good as a mealtime sake... I'm sipping it with albacore tempura and fish yukke as a side dish.

(OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL On the second day of my cup life, I had a Sawanoi from Tokyo. I had a little bit of it at first, and then half of it hot 😀 The cold version was refreshing, but the hot version had a great aroma and was refreshing to drink. Maybe I heated it up too much and lost the alcohol😎.

Japanese>English

I think it tastes better if you warm it up a bit. I think I'll buy a bottle of "Nobee Yokocho".

( 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.

Japanese>English

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💕

Honjozo 🍶. Quite refreshing, like water. Dry. Does not get in the way of eating good food. Perfect score as a daily sake 💯. Purchased at Sugatoyo Sake Shop @ Kesennuma 20230103

Japanese>English

I had it on a trip to Sanriku. It has a nice, calm taste, and it just keeps going and going. We visited a sake brewery just before the trip and were allowed to taste various kinds of sake, which was a nice experience!

Japanese>English

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.

( *´*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 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.

Tonight, it's Hochotsuuru from Yamaguchi Prefecture in the 8th installment of our first series & muddy pick ✨. 100% Yamadanishiki, 50% polished rice, 17% alcohol by volume 🍶 Almost no gas when the bottle is opened. The aroma has a gentle sugary sweetness, and the mouthfeel is characterized by a sweet flavor and a soft sake quality. When mixed with the lees, it is milky without lactic acidity🥛 and full-bodied with a spicy taste😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

(It is very spicy and dry. It's very dry and spicy, but it's also very tasty when heated. Warmed to lukewarm, it's a little more mature. Each temperature range has its own effect. I'm a big fan of super dry sake, and this one is right in the middle of the pack. Mr. Ota is in Shimoda again! He was eating sea bream rice cake! I knew Izu was great!

Japanese>English

I'm buying some kind of Hochodzuru. Fresh and corked! It's a slightly dry, sharp junmai nama sake. Cheese goes well with it. It's sharp and can be warmed up. Mr. Ota's second bottle from Fukuejima! The craft gin looked good, but it was too expensive...

The rice is clean and crisp. The taste of the rice can also be felt. Easy to match with meals. The alcohol content is a little low at 15 degrees. This was my first time drinking Li Bai. I have never had Li Bai before, but it has a taste that I never get tired of.

Japanese>English

At home. My first Shimane. The aroma and the first impression on the palate is that it is a solid sake, a dry sake at that. When you taste it on your tongue, you can feel the sweet and savory taste. Two cups later, my ears are burning. It has a different strength from the stylish label.

Japanese>English

It was Friday, so I opened a bottle of Yi Bai that had been sitting in the fridge. Hmmm...it seems to be suitable as a food wine, with its refreshing and acidic taste. It is not unique, but easy to drink. A good sake.

A little dry. But delicious. You can feel the flavor of sake rather than fruity. I️ got drunk while I was thinking about what to have for a snack.

Japanese>English

At home. This is the second one in the Hokkaido series. Kokushi Muso is a metaphor for being so good that no two people under the sun are alike. I was expecting it to have a strong alcoholic taste, but I was betrayed in a good way. It has a fruity aroma and a refreshing, clean taste that goes well with any meal. I think I'll end up drinking too much of it. But the words "Hokkaido Limited" are magic. I feel like I got a great deal just from this word.

Japanese>English

8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Hokkaido rice Kitshizuku Rice polishing ratio : 55 Sake meter : +3 Acidity: 1.7 Alcohol content: 17-18%. Sold at: Takasago Shuzo (Asahikawa City) When opened, it has a gaseous feeling. Almost no gas Slightly alcoholic grape-like top note The aroma is like light grapes and peaches, the umami of rice and gentle sweetness spreads with soft acidity, and it finishes with a hint of bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness. The aroma and sweetness are mild, and the umami of the rice can be felt well, giving it a mildly juicy impression. It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It went well with crispy grilled chicken (salted and teriyaki flavors), turnip and chicken in cream sauce.

(*^▽^*)Western style sake It is a delicious sake like Niigata. It is really easy to drink 😁.

Japanese>English

It's going to be a vegetable-centered menu with cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, and ... for the summer as it gets hotter. Dinner with sake from the countryside. It is a refreshing and royal sake of Echigo, light and dry, and fits for dinner. The brewery is located next to Niigata Prefectural Ojiya High School, where I went to school, and the main brand is Chojazakari.

Japanese>English

This Sake is slightly dry with an earthy aroma. There are flavors of mushroom and wood. Sweetness and acidity are present towards the end. The flavor profile is different from other Niigata Sake I have tried. Guess I need to drink more Sake. 😁
