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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

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👍

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.

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.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin, 30 bottles of Niigata sake cups 🎉Chapter 1 Sweet and sour. Zarame. Gentle ☺️. Good with Hokkaido Hakkaku sashimi to get rid of the cloying taste👍Good with fat rather than plain white meat 😋Warmed up to 50 degrees, mild. The riceiness is up, and the acidity is softened. It also has a sweetness. Order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami, drink at home 20240315

Japanese>English

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!

Diachiku Junmai Ukiyoe Alcohol percentage 15 Rice polishing ratio 59 This is the second izakaya in Kamisuwa. This is a Chino City sake. It is quite light and good. I would like to try some other sake. We drank a lot of sake in the Gokuraku set, but this is the second Izakaya? It's almost ready ^ ^.

I was looking for a property today, but there was a sake store nearby, so I bought some on the way home! I didn't buy it this time, but it was a good sake store that also had Kuroryu and Hakusan ✨. When I opened the bottle, it had a mild sweet aroma like banana. The palate is clean and tangy, light and dry, but as you taste it, the sweetness and a little bitterness come out and it tastes like vanilla or caramel pudding! It is a delicious and crisp taste. I have a feeling that I will go back if I can successfully sign a contract for a property. I wonder if I can go to Koyama Shoten from Yamanashi sometimes... and imagine the lifestyle I will have 🍶.

Japanese>English

It is very tasty without being nigori (sweet sake) like! The moment you put it in your mouth, a slight carbonation bursts out. The moment you take a sip, a slight carbonation pops in your mouth. It is a strong taste, but the slight carbonation makes it easy to drink. I don't know if it's because the brewery is good, or because it's new sake, or because it's unpasteurized, I would like to try other nigori sake.

It has a light and gentle mouthfeel with a low alcohol content. I'm in danger of oversleeping, so that's all for today! A mocha from Costa Coffee to cleanse the palate.

Japanese>English

Colorless, mild aroma, medium sweetness and spiciness? Easy to drink without feeling of alcohol, but also has a strong body. I visited several breweries at the Saijo Sake Festival 2024 and tasted this one and liked it the best. In addition, this brand is rare and only available at the Saijo Sake Festival!

I bought this sake to try a sake from Shinshu, a region I was not familiar with. After purchasing it, I checked the label on the back to see what the specs were. ⁉️...no label. It looks like it was removed 😅. Takizawa is a mysterious sake. It had a clear sweetness with a strong rice flavor and a nice aroma 😆.

😄 Uhihihihi. The picture in the middle is Takizawa. I found this sake at a liquor store but thought "maybe another time" so I'm drinking it. I don't know what "Nakaguchi" means, but to me it feels sweet and, well, it's also delicious. Nagano sake is really good, I thought.
