Japanese>English

At home. My first Nanamizu. When opening the bottle, there is a fizzy feeling. The aroma is muscat, and when you put it in your mouth, in addition to the fizzy feeling, there is a strong sweetness, followed by sourness and umami. The bitterness is felt at the end, but it is easy to drink. I think the description on the back is right on target. It is an excellent product that is very easy to drink.

Nanamizu FOUR-SEASONS WINTER (Activated Nigori Nama Shu) 1800ml Rice used: Yumesasara 100% (unmatched rice) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 16%. It arrived together with a large amount of Kangiku that I had reserved since the end of last year. My fridge is full again😅. This may be my first Nanamizu. Fresh, juicy, fruity! I wonder if it tastes like this because it's Yume-Sarara. It's Sunday and I'm drinking too much.

I heard it's easy to drink to death, delicious, and popular among young people because it's so easy to drink the famous brew here.

Japanese>English

This is a honeydew melon flavored sake meal スムージー (makekasu smoothie), not wine. It uses ingredients such as sake meal from Yuomachi rice, honeydew melon syrup, ice cream, and honeydew melon juice. The creaminess of the ice cream blends completely with the sake meal to create a sweet kolpis-like flavor. This is a very interesting drink.

Chinese>English

The wine has subtle bubbles and distinct flavors of honeydew melon and green apple. The label, like Akabu's "Amber," has an orange-yellow visual design that makes you look forward to the coming fall and the maple leaves on the mountains. The tagline also depicts the tranquility of an airplane landing after flying over the 99-mile coast in the setting sun.

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

Japanese>English

. It has a robust flavor with the full flavor of nama-zake character, slightly sweet and delicious! ✩4.0

Japanese>English

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

My colleague brought it to me 🎵 It was my first time to drink this sake 🍶 It has a delicious white wine-like flavor and a rounded sake taste ❗The lingering taste is not sweet but has a bitter flavor like chocolate 😉 It was an interesting and delicious sake 😉. It may be a bit on the refreshing side, but it doesn't make you think it's super dry, it's a good sake for those who are looking for a dry sake 😃.

Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉. The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste. At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊. This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

Japanese>English

Pitchy fresh. Light mouthfeel with a green apple-like flavor. The sweetness is moderate and a little bitter. Not too sweet and easy to drink. If I drink sake, I should also drink wine. Kenzo Estate's aska 2013 is over 30,000 yen. I only had one glass, the rest was sake 😅.

Japanese>English

It's very drinkable: ‼️ High alcohol content but It is fresh and has a strong umami and a lingering finish. Strong and lingering flavor❣️ Personally, I think it's like Aizu sake 😅

The first bottle was given to me at a certain president's house, to whom I am indebted. The rice used was ㊗️. Celebration is Kyoto's original rice that was revived in the Heisei era and is suitable for ginjo-shu (ginjo sake). It has a very elegant sweetness and aroma and is a premium ️sake. It is smooth on the palate and goes down smoothly. It was gone in no time. It was a treat❣️.

Japanese>English

100% Kyoto sake rice, celebratory rice Slightly sweet strawberry🍓 like aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, but then you are surprised by the acidity and tanginess. The aftertaste is elegant, with a hint of strawberry flavor again. The second sip is easy to drink like water without the tanginess, as if you have gotten used to it. It reminds me of Kyoto's obanzai (traditional Japanese food), with a strong but not overpowering character. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is Kyoto's sake.

#Otsuka# w/o/a/ta/stone/too/akutsu This is the last round of the meal. We will have zosui (rice porridge) with the best soup stock. At the request of my companion, we had another glass of sake. It is a mellow and gentle sake. It is like taking a breather. It was a great end to the fiscal year ✨. It was a drink that will give me new energy for the next week 🎊🎊.

Fourth round of drinks with Go-ni-Go-san. Amanurin Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Limited Bottle Enclosure This is also my first time to drink Mie sake! I chose only sake from Tokai region😅. This seems to be a regular sake of Amanurin! After bottling, the sake is matured slowly in the brewery. Mellow and full-flavored with a lot of umami!

Japanese>English

The rice used is Comet from Hokkaido. You can't ignore the sake made with Hokkaido rice, can you? It has a clear and refreshing taste typical of Comet. It has a gentle acidity and a good sharpness, so you can drink it easily. It is well-balanced with a good taste of rice. I️ think it's a versatile sake that can be used in any situation. I have drunk Tenyurin many times, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

Sake from the breweries of Chojamori and Koshino-Kanchubai. I had been interested in this sake for a long time, but I bought it because it was on special price and there was a draft. According to the Internet, the rice is Koshitanrei. I've seen the hi-ire version but only at Ito-Yokado 🤔. I heard it was developed in collaboration with Takaoka National College of Technology, and the 888th sake out of 1200 test brews was so good that they decided to commercialize it. Sourness like wine. It has sweetness but it's not like sake. As the description says, I would like to match it with meat and cheese.

Japanese>English

It's a good mix between Sauvignon Blanc (white wine) and pure rice wine (laughs). They say it's a limited edition product and is sold at Ito Yokado.
