Balanced Umami Bitterness Fruity Neat Steady Sweetness Acidity

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...

(**) ☆*°🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got a Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire of Akishika🍁🦌 😀. When poured into a cup, it has an amber color that seems to be full of flavor ✨😍but the aroma is mild🤔In the mouth, it has a rich flavor typical of Yamadanishiki🥰 and acidity😊It is well balanced 😚👍. It is a delicious sake that can be drunk slowly at room temperature or warmed up 🥳.

Japanese>English

The first sip is different from what I imagined, it's massive. While tasting the unique flavor. After two or three sips. The clarity of the aftertaste. You can feel the "super dry".

Japanese>English

At home. First time in Osaka. The first ranking Akishika. On the first day, it had a strong alcoholic impression and was quite astringent, but on the second day, it became milder. The aroma is grainy and nutty. When you put it in your mouth, there is a slight alcohol feeling, but it has a clear throat feeling and is easy to drink.

Umami Dry Acidity Grainy Sweetness Crisp Soft Fruity

I wonder if it tastes old-fashioned for the label😅. It has a good flavor, but it's also very sour: ❗️ I think it's difficult for people who don't like sake 🙏. The sweetness increases as the temperature goes up. I would like to try it warmed up next time. ❗️ It tastes like it would go well with strong flavored food or oily food 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tatsusen is a first. The rice called "Kyo no Hana No.1" is also new to me. The name alone might make you think it is Kyoto rice😅. It seems to be a phantom rice revived by the Tatsusen brewery. Is the aroma a little peculiar? It has a beautiful and elegant fruity taste. It's hard to describe its complexity. It is a light sake. There is a strong sense of extract and grain. The acidity is strong at the end. It has a caramel-like taste. The overall impression is dry. Fruity and dry?

Japanese>English

The third shot was Tatsuzumi, Sashiu-san's gift sake. It's so bitter, isn't it? Tatsusen! It is said to be a special blend of Junmai-Nigori and Jungin-Nigori, so I imagined it to be cloudy and heavy, but contrary to its appearance, it is light and easy to drink with a light gasiness and sweet acidity from a clear dry base. This is also a horse! Thank you very much for the meal!

(๑-̀ㅂ-́)و🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today was my first time to try Ganki 😃. The aroma is mild😊The mouthfeel is dry but the umami spreads slowly 😚The balance between soft acidity and umami is good 😘I drank it cold this time, but it is light and comfortable to drink and will go well with any food 🥰I will try it a little warmer next time 🥳.

February 9, 2024 Evening drink at home. Drinking sake with 7-day-old ku-e. This day's accompaniment is GANKI Junmai Ginjo Mizunowa. day's accompaniment was GANKI Junmai Ginjo Mizunowa. It is full It has a fruity and soft sweetness and soft sweetness, but it does not disturb the meal. It has a light and refreshing mouthfeel. It is delicious with sashimi and roughly pounded nameko mushrooms. I enjoyed it with sashimi with great flavor and roughly pounded nameko mushrooms.

Japanese>English

This year's Hiyaoroshi starts here. It's been a while since I've bought a GANKI because of the label, but it's still stable and delicious 😀. The first glass after taking it out of the fridge was too refreshing, but after the second glass, the rice flavor and the elegant sweetness are well balanced, and the food and sake go well together😋. The price was reasonable and I was satisfied with the bottle👍.

I was in Himeji and went to the Tatsuriki store 😊. Daiginjo with a pretty refreshing taste, dry I guess? I haven't had a sake like this lately.

Japanese>English

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we opened a bottle of Shinryu Nishiki that we purchased at the Tatsuriki store in Himeji station😃. The aroma is gorgeous and pear-like 😊The rounded mouthfeel, overall mild acidity and umami 😄Great crispness that disappears quickly 😘I felt it was an easy sake to pair with a meal 🥳. The last picture is of the Japanese garden next to Himeji Castle. It was very beautiful and relaxing 🥰.

Japanese>English

This is my last post of the year😊. Thank you all so much for being with us this year! Please take care of yourselves and let's enjoy another year of good drinks🥰 Now, this sake has an otona taste ✨👠 It's a little dry, with a good combination of flavor and richness, and it's even sexy💖. I wonder if it's the precious rice that makes it so or if the brewer is good at it, it's so good 👏! Next time I come across it again I will definitely buy it 🎵.

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 🥳.

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

Japanese>English

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

[Kagataya hanpukai 2021⑧] The last bottle of the 4-month-long hanpukai was a special order of the first Niseko ☺️The rice used was Comet. It was the only one out of the 8 bottles in this hanpukai that was delivered at room temperature. It's the only one out of 8 that was delivered at room temperature. The aroma is gourd-like🥒The alcohol content is 17 degrees, which is a little high, but it feels more like alcohol and has a punchy taste. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing. This is how I completed my hanpukai 😆. I was a little nervous about buying two bottles of sake every month, but the brands were so gorgeous and I'm so glad I joined as a result❗.

You can enjoy the sweetness and flavor of freshly pressed rice. The accompaniment is Seikishikkake

Comet's clear and delicious taste In a word, it is a "drinkable sake" ^_^.
