(*´ч ` *)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I had my first Shichihonjari 😀. The aroma is fresh, but when you drink it, you can feel the umami of the rice first, and it is easy to drink with a calm freshness 😚 It is a delicious sake that can be served alone or with food 😊.

Japanese>English

This is one of my purchases from the Shiga expedition. I've been to the store in Omihachiman for the first time, but the selection was good and I got lost 😊The staff was kind and helpful. It's a fresh, full-bodied, moderately spicy, easy to drink, and has a unique flavor 😆. I'll be back soon.

Acidity Umami Firm Floral Dry Tranquil Fizzy Sweetness

Yuho 1

Smells like yogurt, and when the temperature rises, it smells like cotton candy. The rice-flavored liquid is slightly carbonated, and while you think it is light to drink, it changes and becomes heavy with rice flavor, astringency, a sourness and bitterness that comes in a rush, then changes to sweetness and a lactic acidity that is tingling and refreshing. The changes are interesting. When muddled, the rice flavor becomes stronger and a little bitter, and the umami that comes after is pleasant, with a slight sweetness and flavors of rice and koji that are both powerful and beautiful. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

I wish I could be a part of this event! I had a small bottle of Yuho, which is made from the sake rice of Ishikawa Prefecture, Hyakumangoku no Shiro 😀 It is a delicious sake with a pure rice flavor.

Japanese>English

( ☆¯ πι¯☆)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened a bottle of Youho's Yamayoshiroshi today 😀. It's my first time to drink it at home 😁. The aroma is mild and not so much 🤔, probably due to the fact that the bottle was chilled to the perfect temperature before opening. It has a strong umami 👍and a fresh aroma that may be derived from the Yamahai method 😊It has a nice sharpness to it 😚. Summer sake🌻⛅️ is over and it's time for cold sake🍁🍄🌰 which is now in full flavor🥰I'm looking forward to the future sake🥳.

It has a sweet rice aroma rather than a fruity one. Unlike the popular sake of today, it has a strong bitter sweet taste...mellow umami taste...you can feel the flavor of the rice...it's a Junmai with a strong presence...it's like a sake for the sake connoisseur.

Japanese>English

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had business in Toyama, so I bought it at Liquor Pocket Mizuhata by the way. It's a great way to start the day. I had it after a long time, but it is still good.

Junmai ✨Akiagari ✨Primal rice wine from the mountains ✨Akiagari 🍁. A bit poofy, but not harsh. Sour, sweet and spicy. Darker taste. It's the kind of sake that goes well with food. A bit alcoholic. I had it with tuna fish and pak choi yakisoba 😋. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20211009

At home. Okuharima, which is always ranked first in Hyogo Prefecture, was the first time I had it - ‼️ The aroma is distinctive. It has a distinctive aroma. While you feel the aroma, the mouthfeel is smooth and dry, but you can gradually feel the sweetness and umami of the rice, and it has a refreshing sharpness. I have the impression that it is suitable to savor slowly and carefully.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is dry. Mild ginjo aroma and sharpness. It is suitable for a mid-meal drink.

Japanese>English

〰fixture Hyogo Yume Nishiki 2022/08 Fairly deep golden color. It has a clear acidity from the Yamahai method and a sense of maturity. It is rich and full-bodied with a slight heaviness, but it has a sharpness. It is said to go well with botan nabe (hot pot), but it is difficult to match it with anything. It's hard to match it with anything.

It is not written on the label, but according to the liquor store's explanation, it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Omachi. It was purchased together with Tsururei Nigori at Tanaka Shoten. It has a fresh taste like a nama-shu, and the sweetness and spiciness are in balance. Refreshing and fruity. Gentle sweetness with a sense of thickening.

Japanese>English

2023 Ginjo Shinshu Matsuri🍶. You can feel the umami of rice well. Dry 🍶.

Japanese>English

The third cup went to "sake-ichisoku"! Thick, grape-like aroma. The mouthfeel is full, with a tangy, pungent, classic flavor. It goes well with mushrooms to enjoy a moment of old-fashioned feeling! The sake itself is smooth and silky, so the lightness and the thickness of the flavor are a good accent👍.

Smells like rice and green apple. Start drinking from the top clear. Slightly effervescent. Creamy, with sweetness and spiciness right in the middle. The taste of rice and fruity flavor is good. When the semi-solid lees are mixed in, the smell seems to become sweeter. It is mild and pungent, and has a good rice taste and flavor, and is more palatable when mixed in. I was already tongue-tied after drinking it with Onigoroshi. Hirotogawa nigori, which I wanted to drink on a good day. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 Sake-no-wa check-in.

Japanese>English

Smells like apple sorbet. Fruity, beautiful, and smooth. The apple-like rice flavor and umami come in and quickly disappear, leaving a fresh taste. It is very drinkable, but beautiful. Delicious! More juicy the next day!

I was looking forward to drinking it. Fruity and fresh aroma...mouthfeel...sweet and delicious 😋 with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste...maybe my expectations were too high...it's delicious, but it's a classic sake.... Maybe it's because it's one of the specs of "⭐️"...a little disappointing...I'll drink a higher spec next time...

Japanese>English

While bringing the rich flavor to the fore It has a good aftertaste that can be cut quickly. The rice polishing ratio is 80%. I don't understand the logic behind such a beautiful taste. I don't understand it at all. It is my own word of praise.

Japanese>English

Fresh rice, fresh smell of milk that I've never smelled before. It tastes like a schwash, lees flavor, and the bitter part of the grapefruit is sharp and clean. Good! Dry. Easy to drink. The flavor comes out again, full and powerful. I see that the rarity is indicated by stars. It will be hard to find if you want this powerful feeling and clean dryness. The second day is also delicious.

(**Thanks to 🍶🍶🍶🍶) I'm opening a bottle of Hayaseura from Fukui Prefecture 😀 I've been looking forward to it since I bought it at the brewery last year 😆. The aroma is mild and pear ✨😊😊The mouthfeel is light with a beautiful sweetness and umami 😚It also has a nice acidity and sharpness 😘It is sweet and umami but has a clean aftertaste 🥰This is a delicious sake😍This is a perfect strike👍👍👍 It's a sweet and tasty sake that is dangerous to drink ✨🥳🥳.

Japanese>English

Mouthfeel, mellow 🍶. Slightly sour, slightly bitter✨ Complex taste or nice 🌸 I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

［Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (9) The event was coming to an end with a series of sake from Ishikawa. We decided to try something a little different and had a drink here 🍶. Hayaseura Special Junmai Sake "Umi-no-Otoko This is an old sake that has been stored in the brewery for 3 years and was served warmed 😁. The aroma of rice flavor, the gentle texture on the tongue, the impact of the flavor at the back of the throat, the warm aftertaste of heated sake, and the bitter taste at the back of the throat at the end........ It is a "man of the sea" respecting fishermen who work at sea, and I feel that it is strongly made to go well with local fatty seafood and salty preserved food 😋. The entrée sold out unexpectedly quickly, so I emptied it before I could check its true value💦.
