The flavor of the rice is firm and The aftertaste is refreshing. It's a great sake for everyday use. It is a perfect sake for everyday use. 100% Yamada Nishiki is used, and the rice polishing ratio is 64%.

Japanese>English

It's got a subdued ginjo aroma. Firm rice flavor. It's also very sharp. It is also versatile as an all-around food drink.

Japanese>English

Probably drank this on the same day as Saku-sama in the Hakutsuru Nishiki drinking contest 😂. Maa. is the only one I can find 🤣🤣🤣.

I had been curious about this sake for a while. I chose a pink light nigori. At the time of writing this comment, I could not give a detailed taste report, It is not sweet, but it has a refreshing fruity taste.

Japanese>English

It has a complex combination of acidity, sweetness, umami, and bitterness, and is neither heavy nor light, making it easy to drink and delicious.

Japanese>English

When I tasted it, it seemed sweet and juicy, but not quite. Should I leave it for a bit?

Refill! Aromatic smell. The aromatic mouthfeel has a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and umami. Although it is rich and has an alcohol content of 19%, there is no taste that sticks to you while drinking it, so you can drink it easily and be satisfied. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Cream, aged smell. The wine has a matured taste, but it is in harmony with the sweetness and is not hard to drink. Full-bodied, umami, stimulated by alcohol and acidity, it is refreshing yet tasty with a strong flavor! I hear that the raw sake smells even better!

Japanese>English

Naohiko Noguchi Institute I wanted to try. Smells like caramel and grain. It has a dry, drinkable, honey-like sweetness, a strong flavor, powerful acidity, and a clean aftertaste with enough stimulation to numb the tongue. Delicious. Impact like a whiskey. The official recommendation is to drink it lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius). The warmer it is, the less stimulating it is. It is a great match for fish, and the fish becomes twice as good with the support. I should have bought another kind. Second day. The second day was also good.

(*´∇*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It is the first Takihannami. It seems to be the sake which went out to the Iseshima Summit. I feel like a great man by drinking the sake which the important people drink. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Today, I'm going to raise something I used to drink and kept proper records of. I drank it at a restaurant when I was on a business trip to Osaka and thought it was delicious, so I looked for it myself and bought it. It was labeled as dry, but it had a clean, easy-drinking taste with a slight umami flavor. It goes very well with sashimi. Very tasty! (^O^)

Japanese>English

It is written "Taki Suiryu" and read "Hayase". It is said to have been served at the Ise-Shima Summit 😮. It has a sake meter of +10, but it is not a very spicy sake, but a model of umami-spicy sake. There is a firm spiciness in the aftertaste, but it is accompanied by a mild rice flavor and is not difficult to drink at all. It is very interesting that the way of expression is different between the two. I'm sure you'll agree that sake is very deep❣️.

Sagaminada...and my favorite Omachi...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness! It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: .... I'm having a little bit of it...

Japanese>English

Fruity aroma of Omachi...sweet aroma...mouthfeel...ummmm Omachi's sweet rice flavor...nothing to say! Delicious... Sagaminada! It's great on its own... but it goes great with fish... and I'm having it with grilled barracuda... and sipping on it...

Japanese>English

It goes well with fish and seafood... I'm having it with bonito sashimi, bonito tataki, boiled skin, and today, sashimi of mehikari that I got during my expedition to Iwaki, Fukushima... I'm having it with small bites...! Aroma: Slightly smells like seme, yes, Sagaminada...strong bitterness, sweet bitterness! Then it's sharp!

Aroma: Fresh and clean, with a hint of citrus? Sweet and tasty, with a good amount of bitterness in the aftertaste...sharp! Good as a food sake 🍶...but like last time, personally, it is not my favorite sake 🍶I would like to try other specs of Tobiroki...

Japanese>English

Mild ginjo aroma. It is suitable for sipping. It is also suitable as a sake for eating. Of course, it can also be used by itself. It is an all-purpose type.

Japanese>English

Has it been a little while? Tobiroki that was sleeping in the fridge! Opening the bottle♪ Refreshing citrus aroma, strong bitter sweetness and bitterness from the first sip. .... Hmmm! Unlike the sake I had imagined, it is dry? Is this the kind of sake it is? Is it light and dry? I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🍶... Personally, I'm not a fan of it...

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

#Osaka Umeda#, Osaka, Japan wHARA/Hometown Cuisine We will compare the drinks anyway, We will continue to drink this Yamahai. It is thick and sweet. It goes well with snacks. It's good!
