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 🤣🤣🤣.

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...

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!

ᐠ( ᐢᐢ )ᐟ🍶🍶🍶🍶 I had my first Tenjo Yumegen today 😋. Can't really detect the aroma after opening the bottle 🤔. When I drink it, I can feel the smooth mouthfeel😊Gentle umami of rice🌾😘The acidity and umami in the aftertaste are well balanced and soft 😚. I felt it was the best sake for a meal 🥳.

Japanese>English

A reminder of 8/7 🍶. Drop in for a drink at work - ⤴️✨ We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/

Japanese>English

Shishimai Fuunroku Part 3 The next point of rest and ga-in is Tenjo Yumegen This label commemorates the 100th anniversary of Maruka Kensetsu, located in the same area as Nakayu Sake Brewery. The contents are probably the same as the regular Tokujun, but it is only at local festivals that this kind of sake is served as a sacred sake. However, I am not sure if this label is "Yamato" or "Taiwa". It has been a long time since I have tasted Tenjo Mugen, and while it has a dry base, it is slightly sweet, has a strong umami flavor, and has a nice acidity and bitterness. Once again, I realize that it is a local sake. Thank you very much!

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...

(**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💦.

Summer drinking is still in full swing! This time I got to try Manzaku no Hana no Snowman😋. The label is comforting⛄️and the contents are refreshing, sweet and crisp, different from the Umakara Manzaku I drank before😆. I had a hard time deciding between it and the other one at the store, but I'm glad I bought it👍. I gulped it down💦.

Japanese>English

(Holy shit! 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I've had the Manzaku no Hana Megurume for a while now, and I've been wondering why it doesn't have any aroma at all 🤔, but when I drank it, I found it to be well balanced with a hint of sweetness and a slight astringency. It's also a good idea to have a gentle sake 钎存米 series 🤤.

Japanese>English

Today we got our first Hinomaru Brewing mansaku flowers in a long time 😀. The aroma is mild, but even though it is fire-aged, it has a fresh feeling like a draft sake 😊It has a refreshing acidity 😋 It has a good sharpness, so it is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking 🥰. Mansaku no Hana is still a delicious sake 🥳.
