It has a freshness reminiscent of flowers and grasses, and a gentle yet fragile taste. The modern light sake quality, like limpid spring water, is clean. It may seem thin if you are used to strong flavors, but the gentle taste of koji and lingering acidity make it refreshing.

2021/08/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Juicy sweetness like a ripe melon. The acidity is a little moderate and round. The rich flavor of the rice comes through. The impression is beautiful, gentle and healing. It is a sake that gives the impression of being "gentle and sincere without being delicate. This sake has the same impression.

Purchased at Sota Watanabe Shoten in Aizu❗️ Since we are in Aizu, we want to buy sake that can only be bought here 😊. It's my first time to drink this brand ❗️ The aroma is moderate and the taste is very refreshing ❗️ It doesn't have any special characteristics but it is well balanced as a food sake. It's a good and easy to drink sake👍

Purchased at the new "Haneda Airport Garden" at Haneda Airport, an antenna store for the Yamakoshi area in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The rice used is "Gohyakumangoku" produced in Niigata Prefecture. In short, it is a rich and full-flavored Junmai-shu. It has a classical taste and looks good when heated! The dusty label is impressive.

Japanese>English

This is a gifted sake. I don't buy my own sake in a wooden box😅. When I opened the bottle, I felt that the crisp taste was sharp, but after the second day, the flavor increased and it was very delicious! It's a great sake!

It is a deeply flavored sake. The ginjo aroma increased my appetite. The refreshing aftertaste made me drink too much 😵🍺🌀.

Japanese>English

I took the liberty of drinking this sake thinking it was pure rice. The first sip was a bit harsh, but the next sip was a thick and sweet saké. If you taste it well, it has a fresh feeling, which makes it an interesting sake. I think it was a good choice for the New Year, as it is more like amazake sake. I think it would be delicious warmed up, but I haven't tried it.

(**) ☆*°🍶🍶🍶🍶´- I had a cup of Kunigon Shuzo's Aotefu for the first time in about 5 years 😀 It is low-polished but has a mild aroma, a strong rice flavor, and a good balance of refreshing acidity and a slight bitterness at the end 😘It is a delicious sake with a slightly dry taste that you would not expect from a low-polished sake 😊.

It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Japanese>English

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

Japanese>English

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

Purchased from the same liquor store as Black Kabuto The store owner's wife? It seems to be a favorite of the shop's wife. It is stored in the snow room for 4 months. It has a round and smooth taste. It is not the modern type, but it is sweet and delicious. It is very rare to find a raw stored sake 🤔. Most of them are watered down and have a light taste.

It has a white wine-like aroma, and although it is 80% polished rice, it has a refreshing acidity and umami flavor with no cloying taste, and is rather dry 🤔. It is well-balanced, so it seems to go well with a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, tonight we had it with hand rolls 😁.

Brewery Limited ✨️ brought in by a regular customer GOTCHISO-SAMATSU I just had Yaezakura the other day, so it was easy to compare: ☺️ It's a bit peculiar after all! But I'm lucky🍀🍀 to be able to drink this rare limited edition sake.

Japanese>English

Next was the Ryusen Yaezakura Junmai Sake Takumi no Omachi. Compared to the Yamada-Nishiki we drank earlier, the taste is a little more robust. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but the sweetness and umami of the flavor is stronger than that of Yamadanishiki. I was full of anticipation, wondering what this sake, which won first place in the Governor's Award, would taste like! I went to the brewery and asked them about it, and they told me that they will start selling it next week. I am looking forward to it! It was delicious! (^o^) P.S. This year, my hibiscus has many flower buds. Last year, they hardly bloomed at all... (^_^; )

#Hamamatsu# Nagura Sake Shop On the second day back to my parents' house, I first visited Kakegawa's 🍶. We went to a local liquor store and bought a bottle of spring limited edition sake. First time drinking this brand, we had it with my family 😁. I was told that it's good to drink it cold, so I made it very cold ❄️❄️ When I opened the bottle, the aroma was not so strong, probably because it was chilled... When I put it in my mouth, I could feel the coldness and the richness of the flavor. And a good amount of spiciness... It's delicious, I can drink it easily 😆😆😆.

Japanese>English

The one I went to a liquor store I don't usually go to after a baseball game and drank after I got home. It tastes like Aizan, but is closer to a classic. It is spicy with a little sweetness. It tastes hotter than when I tasted it. It is spicy even if the temperature is changed. I think it is hard to drink by itself. When it gets close to room temperature, the sweetness comes out, but the spiciness and alcohol taste also become stronger.

Japanese>English

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten (🍶) and asked the landlady to make a dry selection for me 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 It's the second day of the party with my mother-in-law💕. Here's a quick rice 💕 The aroma is fruity💕 Color is light golden💕 The mouthfeel is a little thick💕 It's dry but you can feel the sweetness💕You can also feel the umami of the rice💕It goes in smoothly💕May be a dangerous sake😅. Today's pairing is grilled tuna kama-yaki, sushi roll, tekkimaki and sashimi💕 They go so, so, so, so well💕! Drinking sake with my granddaughter is the best 💕💕💕My mother-in-law is also happy and it's really a great party👍👍👍👍 I recommend this sake 😁 please try it 👍It's a great sake for a meal 👍✌️
