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.

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.

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.

Next, here is a bottle from ‼️ that was Miyajima's recommendation for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai. ‼️ To be honest, I can't really tell the difference 😅 although the richness of the orikagarami is better. I just keep reaching for the ogara-mi 😆. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it better for eating 😋. Either way it's delicious, so this comparison is a lot of fun ‼️4

(*sigh*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Ding's sake 😀. It was a well balanced and delicious sake. The aroma is quietly gorgeous, refreshing rice flavor and sweetness, and a nice crispness. Nice 👍️

❀(*´▽`*)❀🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today I got a limited edition Junmai Daiginjo from Ting today 😀. I was drawn to the limited edition label because it seems that from this year they have changed from Daiginjo to Junmai Daiginjo 😁. The aroma is gorgeous 🥰The mouthfeel is smooth 😊The sweetness is moderate but the flavor is beautiful and firm 😘The acidity is sharp to finish 😍This was a very delicious sake.

I bought it at Yokogawa Shoten in Omachi on May 1st release day, waiting for it to arrive. Already a summer sake, so early. A refreshing sake with a sweet and sour taste.

Last week I visited Dewano-Fuji at Hankyu Department Store, but I went to Umemoto Sake-ten in Nishinakajima because I thought I could find more variety at a special distributor. (Note that they have moved from the location shown on the map of Sake-no-wa, and they have a corner bar inside after 4:00 p.m.) I was a bit lost, so I asked the waitress and she let me try a sample. Melon-like fruity sweet taste. Slightly refreshing? It was delicious, but Junmai Arabashiri seemed rarer, so I bought that one 😊.

The beautiful kaleidoscope-like label is impressive. The taste is sweet with a hint of bitterness at the end. It is refreshing and crisp, but the screw was unusually hard to open, so I think it should be improved. The Junmai Unfiltered Nama-jyu I drank at the end of the year was cheaper and much tastier. I don't know if it's because they use Miyamanishiki, but it tastes a little like the Jokigen I had the other day. A bit 🍇ish.

Delicious. It was slightly sweet with a slight effervescence characteristic of nama-shu. On the second day, the slight bubbles decreased and the sweetness increased, making it tasty again. 4.0/5.0

It seems to go well with everything 👍I run out of this kind of thing soon... I'm about to run out of this one, so I'm going to change to the next one 😆.

I bought this sake because it was recommended by the proprietress of the liquor store. It has a mellow aroma and taste reminiscent of melon, and is a high quality sake that is not cloying and does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

( *´꒳` )️🍶🍶🍶🍶 本日は初めての新澤醸造店の飛龍を頂きました😀 香りはあまり感じませんね🤔口当たりは、軽快でリンゴを思わせる心地よい吟醸香😘綺麗でサラリとした甘味と旨味が、パッと広がって消える😚爽やかな酸味の切れが良き👍✨ 綺麗な食中酒の様に感じました🥳
Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

We received 5 bottles of souvenir drink, 300 mm from Akita Prefecture. 🤭 The sake has a lot of Japanese sake flavor and the rice flavor is a bit more apparent. 🤗

Local sake from Kazuno City. Akita Sake Komachi x AKITA Yukiguni Yeast The aroma is fruity 🎶. The astringent aftertaste further enhances the lingering taste🎶. This makes me want to try Chitose-mori's other sake.

The aroma is not as strong as advertised. However, the balance of sweetness, richness, and acidity is to my liking. There is no bitterness and a slight taste of rice. Very easy to drink. I like it the best among the 3 sake tasting sets.

Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.

Miyakanbai's PB brand Miyamanishiki 55% Koji, Manamusume 65% Kake The aroma is rather subdued, but it has a clean, fruity aroma of white peaches, pears and apples. The taste is juicy and sweet like honey apple, just like drinking fruit juice! The alcohol content is a little strong, but it is easy to drink with a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste. It is as beautiful and delicious as one would expect from Miyakanbai.

It has a fresh fruity aroma. The sharpness is also quite good. Personally, I prefer Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo.

Junmai-shu, domestic rice 65%, 15%. Aroma and slight sweetness. It is a little short, but the exquisite sweetness makes it easy to drink. 85%.
