@Osaka Takashimaya Rice used: Yamadanishiki? Sake with full alcohol impact. It is a bit like a dry white wine. It starts with a moist mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean. It is truly a masterpiece. ‼️

硬く甘口お酒。だがアルコール度数19もあり、冷やで口にすると甘味とアルコールの切れが、衝突し複雑な味わいになるのがある意味面白い。とは言うもの、冷やと燗は向いておらず思いっきり冷やすのが良い。ロックで飲む事がオススメ。もともと濃く深い味わいなので、氷の3欠片程度で全く薄くならなずスムースに。あの衝突が仲良し旨口に変化しとても美味しい。

Sake from Hirohata, Himeji Otten: super sweet and Wakaten: super dry. I opened both, either individually or in a blend!

The king of light and dry taste. It has a clean and refreshing taste. It is suitable for drinking with food. But it is also good for savoring the taste of the hardy rice It is also good for savoring. It is made from Gohyakumangoku at a 45% polishing ratio.

This sake was a gift from a junior colleague (son of a liquor store owner). It has been a long time since I've had a classic, THE old man's dry sake. There is a sweetness of rice in the back, and it is refreshing. Not bad. After the sweet and juicy sake, we had a glass of So-no-Sato. Not bad. I've only been at work for a little while after the new year, but the three-day weekend is wearing on me. Sake heals me 😄.

It was a gift from a junior colleague at work. I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor. It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊. It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌 I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki. The rice polishing ratio is 35%, is it the flagship sake of the brewery? It has a solid ginjo aroma, and while it is basically light and dry, it also has a mild sweetness. There is little miscellaneous taste and the mouthfeel is good. The aftertaste has a good accent of alcohol and a solid flavor. Overall, it is a good sake with a cohesive taste that makes you realize again that the alcoholic version is better for the Daiginjo class.

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

Japanese>English

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. The other day, I was recommended this sake at my favorite soba restaurant. It was exactly my kind of sake. It was masculine, strong, and dry. Although it was fire-aged, I could feel the strength of the alcohol. It is rare for me to drink sake from Kyushu, so I enjoyed it very much. It went well with the tempura at the soba restaurant, and the flavor was not overpowered! I am thankful that I was able to encounter such wonderful sake this evening as well! I was kind of a straight guy, despite the fact that I am a manly type of drinker. I am thankful that I can drink good sake.

4 points Well, it has a strong oaky aroma, but it doesn't open up when the sake is cold. Must be heated!

Japanese>English

It is a new sake, but it has the richness of an old sake and a medicinal taste similar to Shaoxing sake. When heated to human skin, the medicinal taste disappears and it becomes milder. I'd rather drink it with Chinese dishes with lots of pepper than with sashimi.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

Chidori Masamune is a Japanese sake from Sanda City! It is packed with umami, and although brewer's alcohol is added, the lingering aftertaste is amazing! Even when heated, the flavor is outstanding, and it is the best of the best!

Drinking outside. Not to be counted on due to drunkenness. This is a brand new to me. The color is dark and you can tell when you taste it. It has an old sake-like aroma, full-bodied rice flavor, and acidity. It was served cold at this restaurant, but I guess it should be served warm.

This sake is brewed by Umeshiki Yamakawa, a subsidiary of the major sake maker Hakutsuru Shuzo. In recent years, Hakutsuru Shuzo has purchased a number of breweries from across Japan. The Aomori-based brewer Momokawa, which uses Hakutsuru Nishiki, is also a subsidiary company of Hakutsuru Shuzo. Not much of an aroma, slight whiff of alcohol. Dry, watery and clean on the palate, with little umami and a slight alu taste. After drinking it, it has a light throat feeling with a faint sweetness. It is a standard shokuchu sake. For the snacks, we had stewed kalbi and root vegetables, mussel pickled in soy sauce, chili bonito sakutome, and baby star ramen with the flavor of kondashi. It goes best with sakabuto, which enhances its sweetness.

Japanese>English

The first drink of the day. I drank it cold. It is fruity and has a sake-like taste. It is relatively light and easy to drink. I read in another post that it has a plum aroma when heated, so I thought I'd like to try it.

Japanese>English

First check-in in Ehime. Hakutsuru-nishiki is new to me. The overall flavor is gentle and a little sweet. It is perfect for winter. My first daughter was born today.
