After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

Japanese>English

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

Score ☆☆☆☆ Okushimizu Jungin ❣️ Misato Yukika was new to me: ‼️ I googled it, and it seems to be the name of a white lavender developed in the local town of Misato. This stylish sake is brewed with the flower yeast and Misato Nishiki sake rice, and is full of love for the local area. Perfect for a toast 🍻? It was perfect for a toast 🎶. It's been a while since I drank outside lol What a surprise! Chichi Haruei came all the way to Akita✨ Eririn also joined us from the next prefecture. Thank you both so much 😊. We finally met Chichi and shook hands 🤝 and had a toast 🍻! The first meeting was at the Sakena Navi where you can drink sake from all the breweries in Akita prefecture. The first meeting was at Sakenavi, where you can drink sake from all the sake breweries in Akita Prefecture. Now, a review of the sake. The aroma is a mild ginjo aroma that is not too assertive. No hint of lavender 💦. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, and it goes straight down your throat and down your stomach. Slight citrus acidity in the aftertaste. ❣️ It is too beautiful sake😅. The 2nd and 3rd pictures were given to me by Eririn lol Kawatan's specialty, Shinsei signboard 😁. The exterior of Sakenavi 😆.

Japanese>English

Even though I live in Akita, I don't see this sake very often. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing, sweet and fruity taste. It is made with lavender yeast, which is extracted from the rare white lavenders that grow in Misato-machi, Akita. Anyway, it is delicious.

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

It was a junmai daiginjo and had a gorgeous apple-like flavor and sweetness. Good for an aperitif.

(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

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

Yogurt, citrus acidity, and rosemary. In other words, the creaminess of cheesecake.

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.

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.

I bought this one after tasting it with Daikoku Masamune at Yamamoto Sake Shop in Kuise and wondering about it. I had tasted Tomikunaga in the past, but this was the first time I bought it. This is a rice called Yatanso, which is used only by Tomikunaga. It has just the right amount of gas and sweetness. Not too sweet, but just the right amount. It is like the sweetness and umami of rice. Balanced type. I would like to try other types of rice.

Japanese>English

This sake is brewed by Miho Imada, who was selected as one of the "100 Women of the Year" in 2020. I've been wanting to try this sake for a long time because of its high reputation in magazines and without any special glasses. The first sip was soft and clear like water, and then I felt the sharpness. On the second sip, you can taste the umami and acidity. There is also a slight pleasant bitterness at the end. It is characterized by the softness of soft water and a clean mouthfeel with no miscellaneous flavors. And yet, it is a modern dry taste with a wide range of flavors, which I personally like very much and it's really delicious! The aroma and taste are not strong, so it doesn't seem like there is a "this" kind of weapon, but it has no peculiarities and anyone can enjoy it, so I take my hat off to its broad-mindedness. You can drink it all the time... or infinitely. I am also amazed at its wide range of defenses, going very well with greasy dishes like fried foods and crisp salads. To use a baseball player's analogy, it's like Shuta Tonosaki of the Seibu Lions, who can defend any position at a high level.

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is slightly fruity, but the aftertaste is clean. We enjoyed it very much.
