Get it at "Marugoto Kochi" in Ginza, Tokyo❗️. I had never heard of this brand before, but it was delicious ❣️. The rice used was something from Kochi Prefecture. It has a fresh citrusy taste like a fresh sake, with a rich mouthfeel, but it goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. If I had to say something, I would say that I would like a little more sweetness, but it is just right for light drinking.

Second day of Kochi Night. The cab driver told me that Hirome is good, but for bonito, I should go to Matsuri Jaya. He advised me to go to Matsuri Jaya for bonito, as it has a good selection of alcohol. So we went to Matsuri Jaya. At first, we started out with regular sake, just like a normal drinking party in Kochi. The staff at the restaurant recommended various temperatures for drinking. The first sake is Fujimusume, which I have never tried before. Slightly spicy and umami-guchi (flavorful), it was a perfect match for the thickly sliced salt cod roe. The special sake cup is also cute! But from here, I sank into the swamp of Kochi sake.

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

It is a junmai-shu made from rice, which is the main ingredient. We are particular about the "soil" in which the rice is grown, and use only 100% specially cultivated "Yamada-Nishiki" rice for this sake. This rice and Kyoto's famous "Fushimizu" water are slowly brewed using traditional techniques cultivated over many years. This junmai sake is highly aromatic, and the umami of the rice can be fully appreciated. The 720ml bottle is packaged in a carton. Medium-bodied. Fire-quenched. It is delicious cold or at room temperature as it is. It tastes great and you will never get tired of drinking it. Purchased at a liquor store in Kyoto. Alcohol content: 16%. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Sake meter degree:0

Tasted slightly chilled. Nose is soft and round, with melon, licorice/fennel, and lychee. Flavor is mild and soft as well, apple and straw, with a mild and slightly spicy finish. Texture is thin all around but pleasant. A wonderful drink by itself but I worry it will be overpowered by food other than nigiri or other similar items.

It has the flavor of rice and a robust sake taste. It leaves a slight aftertaste, so I wonder if it is suitable as a food sake. This time I tried it with a nabe dish.

Even if it's the same rice. Each rice field has its own characteristics. Each rice paddy has its own personality and characteristics. Jo series. I drank this one. The name of the rice field I drank was "Senkari". I can feel the strong commitment. It has a transparent sweetness. It was easy to match with meals.

Oh! It's delicious. This sake is recommended by Kado-ya Sake Shop, which has been a great help to us. It's raw sake, but it doesn't have a sticky aftertaste. It's a raw sake, but it doesn't have a stubborn aftertaste, so you'll find yourself saying, "Mo~a glass! Today is still Tuesday....

This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

It was sold in a bottle at a supermarket. 10 kinds were available, and I bought 3 bottles for 880 yen. I think it was 880 yen. I'm not sure if it's the same or not. I like Eikoh because it is easy to drink ☺️.

I was curious why it says sweet on purpose😅. It's not like the popular fluffy fluty It's a solid sweet sake 👘. So, you know... It was great with light red bean paste sweets, cheese, teriyaki, etc 🎵. Recommended to drink at room temperature or lukewarm, but it was also possible to drink it a little chilled 👍✨.

The appearance is transparent and pale crystal silver. The nose is gorgeous and full, with hints of pear, banana, and acacia. There is a freshness of green bamboo, lime minerality, mushroom and chestnut aroma, and sour cream fermentation. The first impression on the palate is rather strong, with plump sweetness, round and firm acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. The aftertaste is rather long.

It is mild, non-habit forming, and very easy to drink. It goes well with many different kinds of meals and can be savored on its own after a meal.

It is a home brewed sake, and the rice used to make it is grown in Okayama Prefecture. It has a rice polishing ratio of 50%, a sake degree of +1.0, and an undisclosed acidity level. It was clear in color, slightly thickened, refreshing, and fresh from the rice.

The fourth and final bottle I bought from Gonoi Sake Store's free shipping campaign is Karahashi, which is one of my favorite brands ❗ As I wrote in my previous review, it is brewed by Homare Shuzo, the family of freelance announcer Yumi Karahashi 😘. I've had the Yamada Nishiki black kara-hashi a few times before, but I've missed the Yume-no-Koh white kara-hashi a few times at my local liquor store, so I took this opportunity to pop it ☝️. The upfront aroma is a hint of strawberry🍓. It's sweet and delicious at first, but after swallowing, the bitter and sour aftertaste spreads slowly. It's dry compared to Haneya's Aizan, which I opened just before, but I like it because it's not overpowering, and it goes well with almost anything😄. It's a shame that the brand name is not registered on Sake no Wa... 😢.

This is a raw sake from Karahashi that I drank last month: ❗️ It was so delicious and well balanced that I had to buy it because I wanted to drink nama-sake 😊. I bought it because I wanted to drink a nama sake 😊. The aroma is subdued, but it has a freshness and a hint of gas that is typical of nama-shu. Delicious with freshness and a hint of gasiness ‼️ It tastes more Japanese sweetness🤔 than fruity and elegant. It tastes elegant and elegant. ❗️ It has no acidity, but it has an aftertaste that quickly disappears. It's a delicious sake that you won't get tired of drinking👍

Traveling to Nara: ✈️ Sake at an izakaya near the hotel. It goes well with Nara pickles and cream cheese! Soupy and mellow aroma. The rich rice flavor and sweetness fill the mouth and give it a full-bodied flavor. The aftertaste is crisp and clean 🍶. Delicious!
