The last sake of January is a new sake from Shichida......fresh citrus aroma, new sake with a sweet to bitter taste! →The mouthfeel is also new sake 🍶 with a sweet to bitter, sharp taste. Very fresh...freshness...good acidity in the aftertaste leaves a lingering aftertaste and a full feeling of drinking sake.... Delicious...this is...I'm enjoying it with my usual sashimi...little by little...

Japanese>English

Posting today, right after drinking! My favorite Shichida! Plus, it's Orikagara! Impeccable! Not deliciously sweet, but crisp and tangy! It's not sweet, but it's crisp and piquant!

Japanese>English

I took it in turns, but I was too busy listening to you talk 💦💦💦. Forgot my notes: ❗️ I'm still on my third drink 😅😅😅😅

First time! Kirinzan....not much aroma....sweet and bitter, then sharp! Enjoy the delicious taste of Koshitanrei. The best and strongest for Niigata sake 🍶Meal sake 🍶 🍶 😀 Today, I'm having dinner with seasonal "Kogomi" and "Asatsuki" & Sashimi.......enjoying the spring ☘️

Japanese>English

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

Junmai Ginjo specification. Sweetness and umami are mild.

Sake made from 100% Omachi rice Mild sweetness spreads in the mouth, followed by a pleasant acidity that is well balanced. It is easy to drink with no cloying taste, and it goes down your throat nicely ✨. I feel that there is nothing wrong with Omachi, but this sake is the most delicious Omachi sake I have ever tasted 😊.

Japanese>English

At the tasting, I tasted a ripe LaFrance.... I was attracted by the words "Ripe LaFrance" and tasted it... I was scared 😳. This is really LaFrance 🍐! The way the aftertaste pulls away from the 🍐 is fantastic👍. Originally made by another brewery, but when they quit, Aihara Brewery took over the brewery. I heard it used to reign in the East and West with Jyushiyo (never had it...) 🤔. I don't have any experience so I can't compare, but this one is different for me personally!

Japanese>English

Kaneizumi is another brand of Aihara Shuzo, famous for Amego no Tsuki. This white lightning bolt is a spot product. On the palate, it has an elegant and discreet mix of sweetness and acidity, with a sharp finish that cuts through with a touch of bitterness! The bitterness is a nice accent, making it a very tasty sake that goes well with the season 😋.

Refreshing aroma, clean taste. No aftertaste and delicious.

Japanese>English

This Sake has a nice medium mouth feel and acidity to give a clean finish. The flavor reminds me of dried apricot with the sweetness of pear. The flavors feel rich and colorful.

At room temperature. The ginjo aroma has a slight apple, apricot, and hay aroma. It has a ginjo aroma with a hint of apple, apricot, and hay, and goes down the throat easily with a soft mouthfeel. It has a slight sweetness and bitterness, a light, clear acidity, followed by umami and full-bodied flavor. It has a gentle taste with a subdued aroma, somewhere between modern and classic. A light and refreshing aftertaste due to the effect of the alsobe and acidity. The calm taste that accompanies food gently makes you feel relaxed 😌.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑱. The last of the Yomiuri Shimbun booth is here. There are stores where you can buy Nihonshin, and I've had it, but I've never seen such an expensive sake... Yamada-Nishiki 40% polished rice More modern label than the Nihonshin I drank at home 😁. It's gorgeous, but I felt it's more sake-like... The label is also modern and written in English, so I wonder if it's for export?

Japanese>English

This one, like the Ko-Imari, was purchased when I was with Yoohee-san. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui. It has a melon-like taste and a strong bitter taste like bitter melon. I thought it would be a little sweeter, but it is quite spicy. It is more like melon or cemedine. It is not my favorite type of rice.

Fukushima again today. And raw sake! Huh? No tingling sensation? And it's not so much sweet as it is...is it salty? Salty? It's a new sensation. (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) Last year? (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) It's a different image from the Aizu Nakasyo I drank last year. This is only the second time I've tasted it (correction: it was the third time 💦), so I guess I don't understand it well. Sake is so deep.

Japanese>English

It is a sake that is refreshing and crisp through the throat. The gorgeous aroma increased my appetite.

Japanese>English

The fourth bottle brought in is Aizu Chusho. This one is also from the inventory of a junior colleague I mentioned earlier. It has the unique flavor and richness of light nigori. It has a moist finish, which gives it a gentle feeling. It is a distinctly different sake from the others we have brought in. I like this kind of sake! This kind of sake is also good! At the banquets I organize at work, I give an allowance to those who bring in their own sake. A bottle I want other colleagues to try. A bottle I want to drink with them. I want to cherish that thought and the spirit of self and others co-prosperity. Thank you for your hospitality!

Banana, green apple, slightly liquor-like fresh smell. Banana-like freshness, with a banana-like feeling extending into the palate. Sourness is robust and tasty, with a hint of bitterness. Delicious. Good sharpness. Sake even in summer!

Japanese>English

The brewery is famous for "Sharaku". I drank it with "Sharaku" in mind. This one has a sharper, sharper edge. The melon aroma is elegant and subtle. It is more suitable as a food sake.

Japanese>English

(I'm so happy to be a part of the Polish community. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had a bottle of Miyazumi's Fukunoka 😀. Right after opening the bottle, it has a fruity aroma. It's a gorgeous sake with an intense muscat taste and aroma when you drink it. It was delicious😙!

Hatsu Zenkichi ♪ test rice brewing 🌾 Kaori has a faint sweet rice aroma...sweet and delicious mouthfeel! The taste is sweet and delicious! Nagano sake is never bad! I'm drinking it with mackerel that I caught myself....and I'm drinking it with a side dish....so good....so good....so good....so good....so good....so good....

At home. Tsubu-chan chose this item for her birthday, and when she happened to find it on an expedition, she had to buy it. I got the impression that it is gradually becoming more and more popular at this sake brewery. Today, I opened the bottle. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, with sourness and sweetness in the mouth, and a noticeable sourness in the nose. The aroma on the nose also has a noticeable acidity, and the end is a bit bitter and smooth. I would like to try it after a little time.

Japanese>English

Zenkichi's here: ‼️ Zenkichi is delicious 😋 Sweet and tasty! I have a bottle, but I'm sure it will run out soon! It seems that the main members of the Mahjong club are on a trip to Hokkaido today: ‼️ I don't have any money, so I'll see you next time. I bet they are having a fever in Susukino 🤣.

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.
