Acidity Fruity Fizzy Juicy Citrusy Sharp Invigorating Wine

Yamamoto 1

Yamamoto 3

The concept of the first Yamamoto is "Yamahai brewed sake to be drunk chilled". The aroma is of rice with a hint of sourness and bitterness... .... The aftertaste is very sharp. It is a sake that should be cooled down to a crisp. The mouthfeel is complex...there is no sweetness at all. I'm having bonito with silver skin, myoga with sesame oil, and fried oysters as snacks.... It goes well with sashimi....delicious....

Japanese>English

Made from natural Akita cedar wood vats. The aroma is distinctly different from that of a ginjo. The label is also very pleasing. It has a solid flavor of rice, but If they don't call it a "hoarding It's so beautifully sweet you can't tell.

Japanese>English

It was another irresistibly hot day 🥵. On days like this, I toast with this one that looks cool and refreshing 👏. The strong sourness is nice and refreshing. It's not sweet so it's easy to drink with a meal and the slight fizziness is pleasant ☺️. It's not too sweet, so it's easy to drink with food.

Hakurei was sold in the bargain section at the supermarket. I bought it by accident. It tasted clean and dry. It was a good purchase.

Japanese>English

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

Japanese>English

I had been curious about this sake since I saw it at Haretoke, but never drank it. I didn't have high expectations for it, but there was nothing else that intrigued me, so I decided to try it. The label said the brewery was Hakurei. Oh, I like Hakurei. It's cheap, tasty, and has a bit of character. I had high expectations for this one. It has a barrel-like feel, but not too much, and it is unusually sour and unique for a barrel-type sake. It goes well with richly seasoned simmered dishes. It would also be delicious heated. In any case, it is a sake that produces the best synergy when served with simmered dishes and delicacies.

(The best way to get the most out of this product is to visit 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this at a liquor store on my way back from a visit to a grave in Fukui Prefecture 🙋I bought it because it was reviewed on youtube by Ishikawa's world famous Hoshitaro. I took it out of the fridge and opened the bottle. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. The flavor of the rice and the pleasant acidity. When the temperature is raised, the flavor and acidity are more assertive than right after opening the bottle. It says that it goes well with Japanese cuisine, and I think this is true. It is a good food sake that does not interfere with food. Sari seems to go well with rice crispy rice 😀.

Japanese>English

I wanted to drink some more, so I changed the restaurant for the third round of drinks. Sari Sari Tangled Hon Nama from Mouri Shuzo! Mild aroma, rich and full flavor, and a sharp sharp taste ✨. The introduction on the internet said it was brewed with the image of a "moon" floating in the spring haze, so it's been a while since I've had a "moon-viewing sake tonight" 🍶🌛🍶.

Japanese>English

A night of drinking at "Fukuna Sakai" with my usual friends. Finally, we ordered the "roasted duck" that we had been curious about, which was quite delicious and similar to the seasoning we had previously had at an izakaya in Kyoto. Now, I've chosen sake from outside of the prefecture, but I ordered a bottle of Fukui sake to finish off the evening 🍶. Sari Junmai Daiginjo The aroma of rice with a hint of acidity, a slight shift from sweetness to umami, and then a sharp finish with a clear rice aroma. The sweetness and umami that is typical of "Sari" and the clean acidity finish off the duck's flavor and fat with a good aftertaste. I had a course, a la carte and various other dishes, all of them were very delicious and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food, so I found a good restaurant ✨I will have to go back in the future

Personal preference among 4 types 4️⃣ I received a bottle of sake that has been stored at room temperature for a wacky long time... I tried to drink it but it was old sake ( ´-̥̥̥̥̥ω̥̥̥̥̥̥`) I got about 7 kinds of sake including Tasake and Jyushiyo... What a waste 😭😭😭 The sauce made with Tasake was delicious though 🥲.

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

Japanese>English

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....

Japanese>English

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

Tonight, I'm back at work after GW, but naturally I'm not very excited 🥴. This one is brewed with Dewa Sanzu and Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The aroma is mild without being showy. It is a versatile sake with a soft sweetness and acidity of cucumber and herbs and a clean aftertaste that is also very sake-like 😊. It is as delicious as the rumors say 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, here is a very popular project sake from Yamagata 💁. La Jomon Shoumon Koji Triple Masamune Nama Sake 2023BY✨. I think it is safe to say that this is the second most popular sake after Jyushidai. I think it is. Well, it's hard to buy and sells out quickly 😫 Now, this is the first Koji Sanbai Masozo-shu Nama-shu in my house. As you know, the specs are as perverted as you can imagine 🤣 it is made with Dewanosato x 66% koji ratio x 66% milled rice ratio x Kyokai No.6 yeast 🤣. The taste is very pleasant with the strong acidity of triple the koji, and it is easy to drink. It is not white koji, but it reminds me of a certain cat sake 😺.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this one to accompany my dinner of kochi and kampachi sashimi and squid cod roe 💁. La Jomon Six Nama Sake 2023BY✨ We happened to have a lot of Six Nama Sake on hand, so we'll have a quick bottle. When I poured a glass of chilled sake, it had the usual mild uri aroma, a beautiful acidity, a little sweetness and citrusy flavor like Pocari, and the second half was a mix of astringent, bitter, and spicy flavors. It can be served alone or as a mealtime drink. I'm going to try the "Murasame" that some of the connoisseurs in the area are trying later 🙌

First time to drink a Hokkaido sake 🍶Fresh citrusy aroma? Sweet and bitter on the palate...maybe a little bitter....sharp aftertaste! The aftertaste is good, but... a little bit of a tangy taste? I wonder if it is a characteristic of the sake rice... is it like this? Hmmm... it's a little bitter...

Japanese>English

(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had a hiyayoroshi of Ezokuma from Hokkaido 😀. The aroma is mild 😊The sourness and umami taste you feel in your mouth is well balanced, with a slight sweetness😚It has a strong flavor 💕It has a good sharpness 🤔It is a delicious sake that would go well with anything 😘.

Japanese>English

The rice is comet. It is sweeter than the junmai ginjos I have had in the past. After the gentle, fluffy sweetness, the bitterness comes quickly and then converges. It gives the impression of being sweet and bitter. Well, I regret buying Gokotsuru when I had a hard time deciding.

First time I drank Hiraizumi Sake Brewery...Triple Acid with NO77 yeast (malic acid), Yamahai yeast (lactic acid) and white malted rice (citric acid)! Sake specializing in "acid" 🍶♪ Not much aroma... .... Drink it: .... Yes! Combined good acidity!

Japanese>English

It was refreshing and delicious with a green apple aroma 😁. I found it richer and tastier on the third day than on the first day â What is "richness" in the first place? 🤔 but lol.

Japanese>English

It has a refreshing grape-like flavor and a fresh gassy taste. This is a sake you will want to drink in the coming season. Accompanied by Ryukyuan sushi rolls.
