I've known about this ice breaker for a while, but had somehow passed on it in Tamagawa. After seeing the many rave reviews on Sakenowa, I finally bought one 🙂. Oh, it's definitely thick and delicious! It's like a whiskey 👍. I'm convinced that it goes well on the rocks🤩. I was reminded that it's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. It's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. I will add this to my summer staples from now on👍.

Japanese>English

Tamagawa is a place where I sometimes feel like drinking. Summer is the time for this 😋. Icebreaker ❤️ It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, but this time I drank it straight and sipped it until the end. The sense of satisfaction is the same as ever. It is full-bodied, strong, complex, sweet, and delicious. It can be served on the rocks, with water, as it is, or heated.

The last sake of January is a new sake from Shichida......fresh citrus aroma, new sake with a sweet to bitter taste! →The mouthfeel is also new sake 🍶 with a sweet to bitter, sharp taste. Very fresh...freshness...good acidity in the aftertaste leaves a lingering aftertaste and a full feeling of drinking sake.... Delicious...this is...I'm enjoying it with my usual sashimi...little by little...

Japanese>English

Posting today, right after drinking! My favorite Shichida! Plus, it's Orikagara! Impeccable! Not deliciously sweet, but crisp and tangy! It's not sweet, but it's crisp and piquant!

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

Japanese>English

It has a moderate acidity and a good mouthfeel❗️It is a sake with a high quality umami feeling (^^) It is good as a sake for eating 😁.

I shared my partner's order at Tsuji Shuhan's sake tasting space in Yamanaka Onsen. It's dry and refreshing. It seems to go well with any kind of food. Personally, I preferred the Tedorigawa that I chose.

Scoring☆☆☆☆ Kamikame Shuzo's Sake Pants from Saitama All products bearing the name "Hikomago" are aged for more than three years in the brewery before being shipped. Open the bottle! 🌠 The sweet aroma of rice drifts faintly in the air😄. The first glass is a cold sake. Rich, soft, and robust. 😋 The second glass is lukewarm or hot ❗ The rice flavor is nice 😋 A little nostalgic, I️ surprisingly like the taste of Junmai sake🎶. Tonight I paired it with shabu shabu and it was a good match for the meat👍. I recommend drinking it warmed up with strong flavored food and cheese😄.

Sake in Saitama 🍶. Fresh taste like a fresh sake, a little quirky but that's also good 😋. Sake degree: +6 to +8 Alcohol level: 16-17 Rice: Awa Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 50 Yeast: Association No. 7 yeast

[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❗.

Japanese>English

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" ^_^.

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!

At home. The first Yamanashi, the first day. It is the one for the summer. I had it cooled well, but it is refreshing and lightly dry. It is the summer sake which feels easy to drink. If you have it chilled or on the rocks, you will be able to open it immediately.

First Yamanashi sake ❣️ after my debut at Sake no Wa! I got the summer sake from Tang 😋. The label was refreshing and quite soppy😍. The taste is also refreshing 🏝. It tastes like melon🍈? Fruity, smooth, full and light, perfect for this time of the year 😆. This one will be available in no time at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted it, and it's as good as it should be.

2) Matsuura Ichi Sake Brewery ✨9th Omachi Summit Ginjo-Shu Category Honorable Mention ✨. Made with up to 50% polished Omachi from Akaban! Now, a sip...hmmm...this one is delicious too! Mild aroma 😳👍 Refreshing in the mouth with a touch of acidity. The umami is also great!

Japanese>English

It is a very crisp junmai sake with a good acidity level. It has a rich and expansive flavor. It is more crisp when heated. When heated, the umami is moderate and you can taste the astringency. I served it with chilled tofu, and it really brings out the flavor of the chilled tofu. Even if you don't serve it with cold tofu, you can still enjoy the taste. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards, but it is a very good sake! Mr. Ota was in Shinjuku again! I still admire Golden Gai!

Japanese>English

The purpose of my visit to Kawanishi Sake Sales was this. Although it is not written on the label, the sake was labeled as unfiltered raw sake at the store. Unlike the label, it is fruity and modern. It has a refreshing and light taste, but the second half is a bit dry. It has a slightly gaseous taste. It is a bit like Eiko-Fuji, but a little spicier. I wrote it in a subtle way, but it is quite tasty with a good sweetness and flavor. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjyo Nama as well. I think it tastes better after the second day than on the first day.

At home. Nara Sake without permission, 12th stage ~‼️ Kubo Honke, a long-established sake brewery in Uda City, Nara Prefecture ~ ‼️ Hatsukasumi and this Soriryu are famous brands. The baseball club team that my sons took care of when they were in junior high school was located in Uda, and this is a nostalgic place where we used to go every weekend. We used to pass by the brewery we visited this time, but this is the first time we visited there. It is called "Sake Brewery Street," but it is really a quiet street. And the taste of the sake.... There is not much aroma, and although you can feel the alcohol in your mouth, the dryness is not so high and the sake is easy to drink. I imagined it would be a dry sake for the experts because it is from a long-established sake brewery, but to my surprise, it is moderately drunk and has a refreshing taste. It is not flashy, but it is a good sake. ‼️
