☆☆☆☆☆ Last week (or was it?) It's a banana today after the apple last week. It smells very sour and not banana-like, but when you drink it, it's sweet. It's like a fruit sweetness, but if you ask me if it's a banana sweetness, I think it's a little different.

Japanese>English

A touch of spiciness. The spiciness starts to wrap around the sweetness in the mid-palate. The mildness of the umami taste.

Japanese>English

At first, a hint of sweetness develops. Alcoholic taste is normal The aftertaste is a bit indescribable and mysterious Is this hydrangea?

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

The clerk at the liquor store recommended this sake to me if I liked it sweet. Indeed, it was a perfect strike! My partner and I said in unison, "Delicious! I said in unison. At first, the sourness is strong and tingling, but when you swallow it, the aroma of rice escapes from your nose, and there is a faint sweet aftertaste. If you are not a fan of sake, this is a sake you should try. Wakaha Shuzo is the best!

Sweet! Rich! Easy to drink with little to no aftertaste!

Light, refreshing sweetness. Fruity like a white wine.

I've always been curious about it because I often see it at Takashimaya, but this is my first time to drink it. The rice is Asahi rice and Yamadanishiki. It is fresh and has a strong sweet flavor, but the aroma and taste are a bit unique. I also feel a bit of hardness. I'll give it some more time and see how it goes. Apple and honey-like sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ It is heated to a high temperature. It's what I call a good heated sake. It's just plain good.

Here's the one kino. gave me to drink: ‼️ I wonder when he gave it to me😅I'm finally drinking it! First of all, Kikusen! It's dry, perfect for eating 😋. 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 😆.

It's cheap and tasty, so I buy it whenever I see it at the liquor store 🍶.

Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City. Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on. This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake! This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.

Japanese>English

A challenge themed drink, apparently😊. I don't know about the details but it's neat😄. I don't know the details, but it's refreshing 😋

Japanese>English

Aizu Shikon Junmai Ginjo White Koji Brewing I bought a bottle of Aizu Shikon as a souvenir from my parents' home in Aizuwakamatsu. It is bitter and sharp, with a hint of gas, sweetness, and apple flavor. I feel the assertion of bitter rather than sweet and sour from white malted rice. For those who don't like sweet sake 👍

Birthday gift sake No. 3 Speaking of comets, Ricaman is a liquor that I don't get a chance to drink very often because I don't go to Ricaman. It has a mild top-fragrance aroma. It is gorgeous and refreshingly sweet on the palate. It is a versatile type of sake that can be enjoyed with food or on its own. For better or worse, it is an excellent Daiginjo. I think it tastes more open and sweeter on the second day than when it is freshly opened. The design of the sake lid looks just like the one from a while ago😅.

Japanese>English

Today I chose sushi, sashimi and comet in the aftermath of yesterday's birthday, and since my son and wife went to bed, I had a luxurious dinner by myself😘. The comet I bought for comparison last time was so good that I bought two bottles for comparison this time too 🤣👍. Tomorrow I'm going to go to Gifu and buy Yamamoto Do, which I've longed for. ‼️ I've been looking for it for about three years now, but when I find a store that carries it, it's always sold out, so I'll make sure to get it this year 🥺. So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with almost no bitterness or acidity.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild, but the taste is clean, sweet, and sharp. It went down smoothly and easily.

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

The Black Helmet booth. They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well. I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.

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 😀.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

"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.
