50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

It is Suifu Boast Junmai Ginjo Hitachinishiki. As the endorsement says, it is a good sake with a firm umami and a good acidity. It tastes better when it is not too cold.

It has a strong sharpness. It is a good match for the sweet and spicy flavors of yellowtail. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20220804

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

Japanese>English

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

The rice is firm and delicious. It is dry and sharp. The taste is unique to the tankard's direct pumping. It has a high alcohol content of 17-18 degrees. It is made of "Gohyakumangoku" from Toyama with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉗ Since there was only a short time left, we decided to choose one sake from each brewery separately to share! Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree -1, Alcohol 18%. It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.

Japanese>English

I went to a sake brewery and bought it because I was attracted by the label. It has a refreshing taste with a sour aftertaste. 1,628 yen.

Suehiro Shuzo's Genzai. They also won a gold medal at the New Sake Competition for their Genzai daiginjo, but this is not that award-winning sake, but an affordable special junmai. It starts off with a piquant and refreshing sweet and sour taste! The taste is powerful with a strong sense of presence, but the alcohol content of 15 degrees makes it easy to drink and enjoy 👌. We are looking forward to adding this sake to our lineup next year and beyond 😊.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed at Suehiro Shuzo's Kaei warehouse. When I hear the name "Genzai," I think of the daiginjo that was entered in the sake competition. I hesitate to buy it because it is a bit expensive, but this special junmai sake (nama-shu, hi-iru) is reasonably priced and easy to pick up. I am looking forward to the next year, when there will be more varieties of sake. As for the sake, the aroma is like apples. When I drank it, I smelled cemedine😅. The sake is fresh and has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. I thought maybe I don't like cemedine, but I drank more than half of it in no time and regretted it. It is easy to drink. The second day, the cemedine is also good. If this is the case, it's a special pure Cemedine.

Tonight, we're opening our first series of bottles here for a weekend nightcap 💁. Genzai Special Junmai 2024BY✨ This is a series of sake from Suehiro Sake Brewery in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima for their distributors. I bought it because it looked delicious after reading the reviews of the Sake no Wa reviewers 😊. It has a nice aroma of fresh herbs, pears, and cucumbers. ☺️ The taste is impressive with a beautiful acidity at first sip. The taste is also impressive with beautiful acidity in the first sip. The balance of sweetness and deliciousness of rice, bitterness, astringency, and spiciness in the aftertaste is excellent, and it makes me think that Aizu sake is still delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋 4 gou of it will be gone soon😅😅.

At home. It is the first Kanagawa and the first Tensei. The aroma is slightly fruity. The characteristic is the softness when you put it in your mouth. It's so tasteless and odorless that you think it's water for a moment, but it makes your mouth swell up. The smell of Cemedine in the nose and throat is clear. It's the first time I've ever felt such a sensation.

Japanese>English

Purchased for the purpose of coloring Kanagawa Prefecture😅. It had a green apple-like aroma, a refreshing taste, and the sweetness of rice. I could feel the producer's "penetrating tininess and full of moisture". We will soon be able to complete the Kanto area as Hanahayo and Yamori will be in the cellar as well 😊.

Japanese>English

Polishing ratio 100%. The color is golden rather than yellow. It has a grassy, black vinegar, and when shaken, it has an apple-like flavor. It has a honey, sour, vinegar, and umami taste. It seems to have five times more amino acids than regular sake, which may be responsible for the umami and acidity. The umami lingers for a long time. It has a long lingering umami aftertaste. It has a sour, umami, vegetal, and matured taste, and the surging sourness and umami make it hard to feel the 16% alcohol content. It is good with Robatazuke and pickled plums. It is good with food.

I finally opened it. This is the time of year to drink.

Japanese>English

As understood from the label, it is an original label of Hotel Epinar Nasu that probably exists in Nasu Kogen. The aroma is like a picture of green apples🍏. I drank it with cold sake, but it was a little sweet and very refreshing. It is easy to drink because there is no spiciness of alcohol. There is no strong impact on the palate, but it is a delicious sake😄. It goes well with sushi🍣👍. I also really liked the match with yuba😋

I received this as a souvenir from a pilgrimage to Ise. It has a strong rice flavor and a refreshing aftertaste. It is delicious. Okagesama Junmai Daiginjo Iseman(Ise City, Mie Prefecture)

Japanese>English

A colleague of mine brought in this sake. It seems to be a rare sake that is only available through regular purchase. It has a fresh aroma and is very clear and luxurious. I got the impression that it was carefully crafted with brewer's alcohol. It is perfect for my taste buds as well. You can't take it home with you when you visit Ise, but I heard that you can drink it there, so I would definitely like to taste it again.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 (11) Mie 1) Eiji-san went to the Aichi booth, so I'll start from here alone. Iseman in Ise City Rice polishing ratio 40%, Yamadanishiki 16%, Sake degree -3, Acidity 1.4 4760 yen This sake has won various awards such as Kura Master and IWC. It has a strong impression of sweetness rather than flamboyance. It is sweet and delicious. The brewer was there and we talked about his visit to the brewery for New Year's. The tickets for the National Sake Fair were not selling as well as expected. We also talked about how the tickets for the National Sake Fair were not selling as well as expected. He was a nice man and I remember talking with him about many other things. After this, this person continued to serve us at the Mie booth.

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!
