The fifth "Masamune Shibari" cup Juichi-Masamune Sakura Yeast Original Sake This is my first time to drink Masamune. The aroma is rich and sweet with brown sugar. On the palate... I knew it. ❗️ It's a little bit sweet, but not too sweet 👍.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown There seem to be several different cup designs. This sake is sweet and spicy, and has a "sake smell" in a good way. There is nothing sharp about it, and it is perfect for an evening drink. ❗️ I don't dislike it. 86th sake in a cup

Japanese>English

It's a hydrangea cup from Juichi Masamune😃I like the Showa feel 🎵.

Toshichan I found a good sake. It has a sweetness to it, but not too sweet. But not too sweet. It has a slight carbonation. It is refreshing and easy to drink.

It is -4 and sweet, but the taste of the rice is perfect and delicious!

Faint ginjo aroma✨ A sip will leave you with just the right amount of spiciness and sharpness 🥰. This is a food sake, but it has a delicious flavor that doesn't interfere with the ingredients 😌. I rarely drink outside, but this one was delicious 🥰. The disadvantage of drinking it in a restaurant is that you can't taste the flavor immediately after opening the bottle... and you can't tell how it changes the next day or later 😭. The sake I got this time was a bottle and there were only a few bottles left, so there is a high possibility that the taste has changed since the bottle was opened 💧... 💧. And, well, it's impossible for me to drink it in a restaurant... but I have an inquisitive mind as a sake lover 🤭 lol

Dokure Hiyoshi Oroshi Junmai Ginjo Shimanto River Headwaters Cave Enclosure. The aroma is a mild iso-type aroma that is a bit hard, but it seems to spread with air. The pleasantly smooth nose is followed by a strong acidity and umami, which leaves a strong impact in the mouth. The hints of bitterness and calmness in the back of the aroma are also to my liking. It is also good with a hint of sweetness in the background and a beautiful sharpness along with the sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste. Dokurei, which I always drink every year, is very good.

It's not extremely spicy or sweet in a good way, and it's nice and intoxicating 🙂.

Smells like walnuts? Gorgeous cemedine, smell of alcohol after some time. Mild mouthfeel, then sweetness like three warm sugar, light pungency, aging aroma, as you swallow, the taste becomes milder, and gradually bitter from sweetness. Alcohol 20%, well 20% is intoxicating.

Japanese>English

This is delicious. I sent a bottle of Yamagata wine to my cousin who lives in Nagoya, and this is my return gift. I'm satisfied with this sake because it has the feeling I like. It's good at room temperature. It rides softly on the tongue with a sweetness that flows easily. I like Halley's Comet.

. Rice polishing ratio: 49 Slightly sweet and gentle on the nose! The umami is strong and lingers for a long time! ✩4.0

The aroma was fruity and the taste was apple and grape-like, but I remember it was like a white wine without any astringency or bitterness.

Japanese>English

Fresh apple-like aroma. In the mouth, chili green apple, fresh sweet and sour of muscat. If you don't have low alcohol like this, you may be a little concerned about the alcohol taste, but it is delicious.

Sasasande - I'm still in the sasandei. A trophy of the Niigata expedition. Surprisingly, it tastes like a summer sake with a strong acidity. It is said to be made from 100% Kame-no-o with a 65% rice polishing ratio. I wonder if anyone can guess the type of rice by the masking. Someday I would like to say, "Oh, this is Omachi"...

Japanese>English

Purchased at Ponshukan. It has a cute design that does not look like a cup of sake. The sake is brewed with four varieties of rice produced by four farmers in the Nishigama district, located in the far west of Niigata Prefecture. So that's what the grains of rice on the label mean. That makes sense. The sake was served cold in the cold sake corner at the store, so I chilled it well at home. It has a well-balanced taste, not too sweet or dry. It is easy to drink and delicious. Niigata's cup sake has a huge variety and high quality.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Gohyakumangoku The acidity is effective, and the umami flavor is penetrating. It has been a long time since this sake had the impact of a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast.

When I go to this liquor store, I can't stop looking at different things. There are both hi-seasoned and draft Morishima's Omachi and Yamadanishiki, and there are several Nozomis... In the end, I narrowed it down to one bottle and chose this one. This is the first time I drink Koshinohomare at home. As for the rice, some stores say they use Takananishiki and others say Koshikagura, but which is it? Fresh, gassy and fruity. Juicy, like apple or pineapple. I was surprised at how delicious it was.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and flavorful. There is a sweetness followed by the tartness of grapefruit. There is also a hint of banana. The acidity gives this a short and clean finish. Brilliant! 😁

Junmai-Ginjo sake with 50% polishing ratio This sake is brewed by blending Kyokai 1801 and the original ginjo yeast, Kyokai 901. It has a fruity, gorgeous aroma and a pleasant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Delicious! The label is said to have been designed with a snowflake "Grandpa Sujimaki" of the famous mountain, Yoneyama, which announces the rice planting season in Kashiwazaki, on a label with a texture of textiles associated with the hemp and silk textiles that are famous in Echigo. Stylish!

The third drink outside is Honkin😆. Dry Taichi Clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. It was perfect as a sake for a meal with a nice sharp taste.

Japanese>English

Honkin Normal Sake Yellow Label 1,800ml Alcohol added sake, koji rice 60%, kake rice 70%. This was purchased when we tasted it at the brewery last November. After six months had passed, the umami flavor seemed to have taken over. I think it was more smooth when it was first shipped. It was stored in a hallway with a refrigerator pan, so we will enjoy it before it gets too hot. I think I like it better when it returns to room temperature than when it is cold.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is characterized by its clear acidity. From the moment you put it in your mouth to the last lingering taste, it has a beautiful sourness and freshness, and the sweetness does not interfere with the taste, which is very delicious. You can't go wrong with any of Nagano's sakes, so you can't help but want to buy it.

At home. Nagano sake bought in bulk - ‼️ Purchased Nagano sake at Kyoto Takimoto today: ‼️ I tasted one of them, Kiyama, for the first time. The aroma is gorgeous and there is sweetness in the supernatant. If you mix it well, you can feel the sweetness and sourness before the sourness, and it stimulates your tongue. ‼️ I would like to check the taste change after the second day, but yes, it is a delicious sake. ‼️

Japanese>English

First time at a brewery series-! Supperly! Dry? High proof for two days in a row. Is this the first time the keyword "cemedine"? It's like that! It doesn't say niggly, but at the end it's cloudy! What a surprise! Surprise!

Shinshu Kunisake 👀 found at my favorite restaurant. It was my first time to try it and I had no prior knowledge of it, but I was attracted by the recommendation of the store owner and the delicious-looking label, so I took it home with me. When I opened the bottle, a refreshing ginjo aroma rose up 😙. It's been a long time since I've had a sake with a corkage involved. The unique sourness, sweetness, and citrus-like bitterness combine perfectly as you take a sip, and the shwashiness tightens up the flavor 😋. This is delicious❣️My wife also raved about it👏. I didn't know this kind of sake existed 😳 I've never seen such a good sake 😳 Shinshu Kokusai Sake has a wide range of delicious sake.
