It is healing. It is light in alcohol content at 14 degrees and It is sweet with a thickening sensation. It is the complete opposite of the usual Manrei, but it tastes just like the cute label. It tastes just like the cute label.

Found it at a local store I sometimes go to 👀. I had no prior knowledge of the brand, but was attracted by the sexy label and the owner's comment that it was "sweet and delicious" 😁. It is indeed sweet. But not sticky, clean and elegant sweetness 😋. By the third day, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was balanced 😆 Uma~! I guess the 6th place in the Saga ranking is not for nothing 😆😆. Thanks for the food 🙏🙏.

I met Manrei's summer sake again for the first time in a year 😆 Sweet and sour. It has a mild taste even though it's a lemon-sour 🍋 type 🍋. ☺️. A little tangy aftertaste. Refreshing with evening glory and pork belly stew 😋. The sea and @Takadanobaba 20230713

The first Toyoshu in a long time is a pure rice sake brewed with the Yamanokami yeast derived from sasayuri (a kind of lily of the valley) that blooms in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine, a sacred place for sake. If you are a sake drinker in Nara, you must try this 😁. Perhaps it was because I was used to light and fruity junmai sake, but it was alcoholic, not too sweet, and had a firm mouthfeel. But it has a modern feel and is easy to drink. Yamano kami yeast was surprisingly not peculiar 🤔. Thank you for the food 🙏. I think I'll go visit Ookami shrine ⛩ again.

It's finally New Year's Eve! For the first time this year, I was able to participate in "Sake-no-Wa" and it was fun and I learned a lot. Thank you very much😊. Now, we are having a limited edition sake that was just pressed this morning. Fresh, crisp, umami, delicious! It's going to be a good New Year's Eve 😋.

Is this the first Aizan for this brand? The sweet flavor is sustained from the first sip.

I've been wanting to drink it for a long time 🍶 Open the bottle, a faint aroma of sweet rice... Despite the classical label, it's a mellow, sweet and delicious 😋 I'm having it with an eel tempura and 3 seasonal fish dishes...sipping it slowly...popular Nagano sake 🍶...no disappointment! No misses...

Japanese>English

Refreshing, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨ Yes, it's very delicious! I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

I wanted to fill in the map of Nagano, so I bought this limited edition Shinanotsuru sake. The fruity taste of the Shinanotsuru, the slight fizziness, the slight bitterness, the clear mouthfeel is also nice❗️I love it😂. Shinanotsuru, Shinshu Kameari, Kawanakajima, Sogape, Masumi... Nagano has a lot of attractive sake 🤤

This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶. It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles. I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse. The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice. In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency. It finishes with a slight bitterness. The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

I bought some sushi with my favorite boiled conger eel besides western style snacks at the department store.... I opened the bottle thinking it would go well with this dry sake... ^ ^ The aroma is of rice with a harsh taste ⁈It's hard to describe σ(^_^;) It has a dry and sharp taste, but I thought it didn't go well with the sweet sauce of conger eel (T . T). T) It's difficult to find the right marriage (>_<)

Sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate, but with good bitterness from Yamada-Nishiki...not as sharp as Yamada-Nishiki...lingering aftertaste. It's a nice, delicious Kanagawa sake...a new discovery! I'm sipping it with some seasonal bluefin tuna and white shrimp....

Japanese>English

Aged at low temperature since 2015. It's mellow and sweet. Goes well with sweets. Sake degree -4.

Long time no see Izumibashi❣️ I wanted to drink Summer Yago Label😍 I got the nigori shuwashuwa one 🙏🙏. The refreshing fizziness is just like the label implies, and when mixed with the nigori flavor, it's a sweet and refreshing paradise 🏝🏖😇. It was so delicious and easy to drink that the small bottle was gone in no time 🤣ahahaha!

Ordered after the taxi driver. Also raw sake. It's called "Soma no Tengu". It is not possible to read it if it notices the frigana of the label. I'm sorry. It's as difficult to read as Kireuriwari in Osaka. Well, how is the taste...? It's been a long time since I drank muddled sake, so I had a strange feeling at the first sip, but the sweetness came, and I thought it was characteristic to change to sourness soon. I drank it up with some sea bream stew and enjoyed it.

(Translated from Japanese by 🍶🍶🍶🍶 I was in the vicinity of Takeba's brewery, Kazuma Shuzo, on business the other day, so I stopped by the brewery to purchase some 😃. The aroma is fresh and mellow 😚The taste in the mouth is fresh, juicy, sweet and delicious 😊The acidity is clean and crisp 😊The taste is delicious 🥰. I realized later that if I went all the way to the brewery, I should have bought the brewery's limited edition sake 🤣.

Q(^-^q) hed hed hed hed It is a cup sake of a bamboo leaf. It is a sake with a weighty feeling like this is a sake 😀. I think the origin is cup sake 😙.

When we ran out of Noto sake after the earthquake, I bought a cup of sake to support ✊🏻📣 ̖́- at least with a cup ̖́- 😀. The rice flavor and a hint of sweetness with just the right amount of lingering aftertaste 😊Slightly sweet sake 😚👍This was a delicious guy 🥳.
