Apple Juice Acidity Thin Yakult Gulping Light Fruity

It keeps raining ☔️. We pray for the safety of everyone in the area! Now, for a change of pace... apple pom poms 🍎😊. Sweet and sour, apple & sake lees, or apple flavored amazake. The alcohol content seems to be light at 7%, but it is definitely sake. No, not sake like sake😅. I recommend chilling it to fully enjoy the sweet and sour taste, as the sakeiness will win at room temperature👍.

Japanese>English

It's called Junmai, but it doesn't say what the rice polishing ratio is, so I guess it's treated as a regular sake. Yes, it is apple-like as the name suggests. It's very light, like water. You can drink it like juice, but some people might not like it enough. It really tastes like an apple!

Japanese>English

I bought this because I wanted to drink something sweet and sour due to the hot weather. The fact that it is made from apples is really Aomori-like👍. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it had a strong acidic and crisp aroma. It has a strong acidic and crisp aroma. The taste is silky, sweet and sour, and it tastes more like apple cider vinegar than apple, which is good for the body. Although it is sweet and sour, it is not sharply acidic, but rather rounded with sweetness, making it easy to drink! Red and Jonagold apples, apple cider vinegar, apple yogurt.... It has an interesting taste that brings to mind many different kinds of apples. The aftertaste disappears quickly, so you can drink it smoothly as expected! Apple fever as expected! I saw a green apple version of this as well, so I'll have to get that next time ✨.

I had bought it about 7 years ago and I remembered how delicious it was😁. This is the first time I've seen it in a while at Ikebukuro Seibu, so I was nostalgic and bought it. The first day I opened the bottle, I felt some gas. The first day I opened the bottle, I could feel some gas. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. Hmm, this is my kind of thing 😆😆. The alcohol content is a solid 17 degrees, but you don't feel it at all, it has a smooth mouthfeel😊Lot management is important so you don't suffer the next day.

Japanese>English

4.5 stars Fresh apple flavor with a slight green tinge. The taste is clear and has a beautiful acidity that flows smoothly without any unpleasant sensations. The aroma at the end of drinking is also elegant, and it seems to be an endless type of wine that can be transformed with a sense of wetness. A new discovery!

Apple Juice Gulping Sweet and Sour Invigorating Plum

Refreshing, sweet and sour. It has a stronger apple taste than the fire-brewed Apple Pom Pom I had before. The alcohol content is low at 7 degrees, so it is like a juice. Although the alcohol content is low, it is delicious and has a green apple taste. I didn't know this was a joint development with Motox. I didn't know that. It's the same as Iori and Iyano.

Japanese>English

I was curious about this rather sharp sake with a sake strength of -72, an acidity of 5.3, and an alcohol content of 7%, so I bought it. The aroma was surprisingly normal, and I wondered if it was really green apple. But when I drank it, I was surprised. It has a very acidic, blue-like smell that makes it hard to believe it is only rice. It seems to go well with fried or oily food. Delicious ....

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is aoingo (green apple)! It's just ao apple! It has neither alcohol nor rice booziness, and is a good choice for people who don't drink sake. Personally, I like it very much! I overflowed a lot when I tried to smell the aroma. I'm drunk.

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 This sake is unusually a little yellow for a Daiginjo. It has a light Ginjo aroma and is easy to drink and delicious. It is a good sake of the costa.

(゜▽゜*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got a bottle of Hato Masamune today 😀. When I bought it last year it was a daiginjo and this year it is a junmai daiginjo🎵I drank it because it is a mixed junmai daiginjo 😙The aroma is mild when you drink it, it has a good flavor, no sweetness, and it is sharp. It seems to be a good sake with excellent cosmetics😁.

The other day, I went directly to the Oyako Sake Brewery and bought it. The aftertaste has a nice acidity and bitterness... delicious! The people at the brewery were also very kind... It's delicious on its own, too...

Japanese>English

Smells of lactic acid and green apple. The mild rice flavor is followed by a lactic acidity and a slightly mellowed acidity, then bitterness, acidity, and umami. It is delicious. The impression is clearer when paired with a meal. Probably the cheapest sake in this brewery. I am interested in the others.

Japanese>English

The one I've been wondering about for a while. I thought it would be just a light mist, but I was surprised that it came out quite well. It's not too sweet and it's dry. It's like a cider 🍎🥂.

I sleep weirdly too much and this is exhausting 😅💦. I don't remember who it was that said that sleep is not accumulated even if you sleep a lot, so lack of sleep will never be solved 🤔. Well, I'm going to drink some expensive alcohol and go back to sleep. Let's open the bottle and go back to bed. The aroma is fruity and the taste is lychee-like, just like yesterday's M, but something is different ⁇ When I compare what the difference is, I think it's the alcohol taste that comes out in the aftertaste 🤔❓❓ I don't know what the difference is, but I'm sure it tastes good anyway 🤣👍👍.

A different sake from the same brewery where I had previously had a sake fermented with malic acid. It too has a delicious flavor.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten! This is the second of three bottles of Hiyoroshi Autumn Age 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,562 Here's a quick comment! The aroma is fruity💕. The color is beautiful💕Expectations are high💕 The mouthfeel is a little thick. I feel the spiciness in my mouth, but I also feel the sweetness 💕I feel the deliciousness and sweetness of the rice after a little delay, but there is also a little bitterness 👍 Today I'm drinking it by itself, but it's surprisingly good ^_^✌️ Tomorrow I will try it with a meal 😁.

Japanese>English

Today is a party with my daughter and her husband. It's also a birthday party for my father and mother. The aroma is fruity, and the taste is full of rice flavor, but the spiciness comes a little later than the sweetness, making it a refreshing drink. Today's pairing is onigiri with miso dengaku. It's gone in a minute!

2024 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake - 18Last. Yoshinotomo Junmai Ginjyo Nama Nama Sake Tominokou As I recall, it is a current sake with apple blossom yeast. I heard that there were 40 kinds of sake at this banquet, but only 18 made it to the end. Each brewer's brewing water was also offered as a Wakarimizu. We were fully entertained, thank you very much to the secretariat 😊.

I was curious about Kanagawa sake 🍶 purchased at the brewery. Is it for export? Stylish bottle. It has a 90% Omachi rice polishing ratio and 40% koji ratio from Okayama Prefecture. Aroma: Mellow Omachi sweet aroma...sweet mouthfeel! It's not so much a food sake as a wine, but rather a wine that can be drunk in small sips. It's like a dolce in wine. Recommended for first time sake drinkers! I can't wait for this encounter with this delicious sake!

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Origuchi Sake Shop when I went to make a reservation for the Risshun morning pressing. Dark sweetness and strong acidity. The acidity is apple-like. It has a strong sweetness and acidity, but it is light and refreshing and easy to drink. It is a little dry and has a cider-like atmosphere with no gasiness.
