Apple Fruity Fizzy Acidity Sweetness Flamboyant Fresh Bitterness

A lightly nigori, lightly sparkling sake made from black koji. It claims to be an "aperitif". But when you open the bottle, it has a good acidity. It can also be used as an aperitif. As the day goes by As the day goes on, it becomes more mellow and sweet.

Japanese>English

The first time I drank it, it didn't make much of an impact, but as I drank it, it became more flavorful and robust... so good!

Japanese>English

The second drink was a Mutsu Hachisen Midori label‼️. Is this the one Manachi was drinking? A slightly different one? I'm not sure 😆. Well, I only remember that this one tastes just as good 😋🤣.

Today we are in Hitachinokuni, right above Makabe. Smell is a little light. The taste is a little cemedine, soft but I think it is a little bit weak in taste. I can't feel many attacks. thanks Liquor Shop Kinase (Mito)

Japanese>English

@SAKE Street Rice used is Nihonbare There are still some good sake in Ibaraki that we don't know about yet. ❗️ It is mild on the palate, with an impressive soft sweetness. The umami has depth and strength. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also 👌. You can enjoy various expressions depending on the temperature. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. ❣️

Japanese>English

Purchased after seeing the liquor store's comments on the recommendation. The nose is grapefruit, rumney, and a little melon. On the palate, it is quite sizzling! Lemon-like citrus juiciness on the side of the tongue, but also the richness of melon and the flavor of rice. Finishes with a pleasant acidity and bitterness that cu... This is very delicious! It has a robust flavor that goes well with hearty dishes, but it's not heavy and has a nice sharpness that makes it easy to drink. It's not the same as the flavor itself, but it's a very different Hanazono. The taste itself is different, but it may be in the same vein as Hanaizumi's nigori. After a few days, it is still refreshing and tasty, but I prefer the freshness it has right after opening the bottle. I'm curious to try something else, like Tokujun....

( ´ ´ ` )🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had a bottle of A-Sakura purchased at Murai, a local sake brewery 😄A collaboration product with A-Sakura? I found it in a corner shop in Akita station 🤔. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma, and the dryness comes after the umami of the rice 😚 It has a nice sharpness and would go well with any food 😘The description "umami dry" is right on the money 😙I felt it was like a royal road sake 😀.

Japanese>English

Second drink~♪ Yes, a sip and a piquant! Ah, here comes the taste of sizzling rice after a nice spiciness ˃˃. Super nice and dry Junmai! I drank it all while thinking "So that's what this is all about!

Japanese>English

I'm not sure if it's a good idea 🥂. I bought this sake out of curiosity when I saw it at the store 😅It was a gorgeous and delicious junmai ginjo sake 😋.

Goes well with deep fried burdock 👍good with marinated squid 🦑 and celery 😆I looked up the label on the internet to see what it was, it was an antelope 😲 it looks like it could be a hare, salamander, or something else. The sea and @Takadanobaba 20240227

Japanese>English

the rice is falling like a snowstorm Sweet like an apple. The taste is round, sweet, and beautiful. There is a bit of bitterness towards the end, but it is delicious. It is not that sweet, but the lingering taste in the mouth and nose is quite fruity. A little bit of pineapple. I would like to try a variety of Toirai, but Fujiidera is a little far away from here, so I wish there would be more distributors of Toirai. According to what I heard at the liquor store, they don't seem to be actively trying to increase the number of distributors... On the third day, it seems to have a stronger pineapple taste.

Here is the fourth drink at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Hizen Kurashin Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire It has sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity. It is more umami than sweetness, and the acidity and sourness support each other.

Japanese>English

Kashima City HAMA BAR section is still going on😊. Here is the 7th cup in total! Hizen Kurashin Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Hi-ire The last time we drank this was Omachi, but this one is made with the best rice in the sake brewing world, Mohansei! It is ama, delicious, bitter, and sharp! It also has plenty of acidity! It tastes as good as you'd expect.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Osan Nishiki It is not a simple light dry taste, but you can feel a little sweetness in the bitterness and spiciness. The flavor is just like the name "Super Dry", and there is a part that makes you think "high alcohol content❗️", but it is not spicy, and you can feel the tenderness. Also, there is a freshness that can be imagined from the color of the label, and it is a sake that is easy to drink with good sharpness. Naturally, I recommend it as a food sake❣️.

It's been a long time since I've had a good sake! It has a soft and gentle taste, and I ended up drinking too much ...... lol. I had a hard time the next day. But the next day I drank too much again.

This is the Aino-sato Junmai-shu from Nanyo Jozo, which is famous for Hanayo-yoku. It's a delicious sake with a good balance of umami and sourness, like a fresh apple. It's delicious 😋 and the price is good too. The price is 1320 yen for a four-pack.

Japanese>English

It has an alu feel to it, but it's delicious with a nice pleasant tartness. I enjoyed it warm last year and will enjoy it slowly again this year.

Japanese>English

Is this a local brand of the same brewery as Hanayo-yoku? The rice is said to be Gohyakumangoku. It's a completely different brew, but it's refreshing and has a gorgeous taste. I had an image of it being classical and hard to drink, but it's a modern sake with impressive acidity. The one I drank recently that is similar is GOGO Gohashi. Gohashi has a muscat-like atmosphere, and this one has a green apple-like atmosphere.

Nara's summer sake❣️ This is a summer version of Hyakurakumon, a famous sake of Gosho along with Kaze no Mori and Shinomine, made with rice outside the standard range and labeled on the back 😋. It looks cool and smells like melon 🍈. Refreshing, mellow, mildly dry ❣️. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink 😋😋. It's a jungin spec, but at 1,300 yen for a four-pack, it's easy on the wallet 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 😁Gozaimasu 🙏.
