Chochin purchased in Hamamatsu last month. It was my first brand 🔰. It was also my first time to drink sake from Aichi even though we are neighboring prefectures 😓. When poured into a glass, it looks thick and smooth. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and satisfying. It's a mellow umami-kuchi type 🎶 with a good kick from the acidity, so it's very easy to drink. It is not hard to drink because it has a nice sharpness with acidity. It is not difficult to drink.

Sake meter value +8. Very robust and dry, but The ginjo aroma makes it elegant and cohesive. It can be enjoyed on its own or It is also perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.

Japanese>English

The first sip is unexpected. The taste is clean and refreshing. But when you take your time to taste it, you will realize that it is the Etsukaijin's strong and complex flavor that sells it. Etsukaijin is known for its powerful and complex flavors. You can taste the robust umami.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Etsukaijin. As the label clearly states. Sake degree +10 degrees, alcohol level is around 18 degrees. It has a thick and rich taste. It is well-balanced with a touch of sharpness. It is a brand that I would like to follow for a while. In order to conquer the whole country This is one of the bottles that I chose while hesitating in Kagawa prefecture which was empty. If I hadn't been working at Sake no Wa I'm sure I would never have drunk it. I really appreciate it.

Niigata sake is often thought of as light and dry, but this "Tsururei," which I drank before as a gift, is light and umami (light and umami) 😋♪ It has a slight aroma like Yamada Nishiki...you can taste the rice flavor 🍶♪ Excellent as a food sake 🍶! Niigata sake is evolving and deepening. Delicious!

It's a dry and crisp junmai sake with a very high alcohol content of 18 to 19 degrees. It's not for beginners...but I think it's good 😋. I've been drinking it with octopus sashimi on the side.

Japanese>English

The aftertaste is refreshing, but but it has a rich and solid taste. I drank it as a midday drink, but but you can also enjoy it by itself.

The other day, I saw Kazuhiko Ota drinking Furozumi on TV, and I wanted to drink it for the first time in a while, so my husband bought some at a local liquor store. I wanted to drink it for the first time in a long time, so my husband bought it at a local liquor store. When the bottle is opened, there is a faint aroma of rice. The color is slightly amber. It tastes great cold, but if you warm it up to lukewarm, the corners are removed and the flavor becomes rounder. It has a deep taste with the sweetness of rice. It is also good with strong flavored meals. As the name suggests, it's deliciously warmed!

Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, a robust flavor, and a complex taste. It is dry, yet sharp and sharp. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, but it is enough to keep you from drinking too much. It is so dry that it is difficult to drink too many glasses.

Fresh, beautifully smooth flavor and acidity. It is very easy to drink with a low alcohol content. It has a sharpness and a bitterness in the back.

(**Ohmigosh*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got a bottle of Sogen, a local sake 😀 I bought it because it was at a liquor store I hadn't been to in a while✋It doesn't have much aroma, but when you drink it, it has a good balance of sourness and umami, with a concentrated flavor. It is slightly dry and has a nice sharpness so you won't get tired of drinking it 🤔It is a delicious sake, almost like a first squeezed raw sake 😚.

Japanese>English

Drink and cheer 📣✊! I received a bottle of sake from Sogen Sake Brewery, which was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake 😀 I drink this sake often and have memories of going to the brewery last year to buy Kiri sake 😥 I hope they will resume sake production soon. The aroma has a slight ginjo aroma 😊. On the palate, it has a rich rice🌾 flavor, a gentle sweetness, a strong richness/taste, and a good cut 😚👍It has a lingering and spicy taste that is perfect 😋. Stable Sogen is a delicious sake no matter what time of day you drink it ✨.

Nutty aroma. Soft, with a bit of rice sweetness, bitterness, umami, and a touch of alcohol, it melts softly and is refreshingly gentle. It is delicious with meals. It is not tiring to drink, and I recommend it as you can drink it tomorrow as well.

Japanese>English

The aroma is like lactic acid bacteria of yogurt. The taste is sweet and bitter with a strong bitterness. This is a good sake to drink while eating 😋. It's so good!

Japanese>English

Weak smell of thin apple slightly sour. Ohhhh good. Sparkling lemon-like acidity with a hint of sweetness, a little heavy on the acidity and rice flavor, then fading away to a gentle chile of bitterness. The acidity is firm and not too thin, and there is a slight sweetness, but the sweetness does not overpower the sourness and it is very refreshing. As you drink it, it becomes too familiar in your mouth and seems to disappear. When warmed up, it tastes sour and makes you drool from the back of your tongue. The second day. Sour, light and refreshing. Too easy to drink.

Iwao Junmai Ginjo 15-16% 55% 720ml 1747yen Delicious sake at room temperature. Dry, umami, stable. ＋You can feel the sharpness at +5. I like Iwao a lot. I've been to the Iwao brewery, or rather to the company, and I fell in love with the Showa-esque atmosphere of the place. Wai no Yao. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230410

Japanese>English

Purchased after being recommended by Takahashi Yo Shoten. It is a blend of sake made by the previous toji that remained in Mr. Takai's brewery, known for its rocks. Hot sake. It can be drunk at room temperature, but a slight sense of maturity can be felt. The sense of maturity is also noticeable, but when warmed up, the restrained flavor and aroma blooms and fills the mouth with a full flavor. Very tasty!

Japanese>English

It is a Junmai sake with light nigori (light nigori). It has a fruity aroma and a hint of sweetness.
