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😄.

At home. First time for meikyojosui ministry. Moderate aroma, moderate alcohol content, and a refreshing finish. Nagano sake, there are so many kinds. It is a good sake to get drunk and I'm enjoying it little by little.

🌹 I've been wondering about this for a while ( ⌯'-'⌯)gee 11% alcohol by volume Lightly cloudy Light pink liquor 🍶💕 The acidity is easy to understand but when mixed It has a calm and delicious taste. I liked the sourness on the 3rd day: ☺️

It has a good taste of rice, but it is refreshing and easy to drink. It is suitable for drinking during meals⁉️.

First time to drink Hokkaido sake outside 😭. And that's Kamikawa Taisetsu, I'm so impressed❗️. I've been to Hokkaido for a while now and I've never been to Hokkaido before. I want to go to Hokkaido in a while😍.

Japanese>English

Citrusy acidity with white malted rice. Light sweetness like white wine. It has a refreshing aftertaste. It is easy to pair with meals, especially fish. Sake rice is Ginpu from Hokkaido, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The alcohol content is a little light at 14 degrees Celsius.

Japanese>English

It is the first Kamikawa Taisetsu. I was attracted by the white koji and bought it. The aroma is of citrus and lactic acid, with some caramel. In the aftertaste, there is a touch of vinegar. So, of course, the sourness is dominant. There is also sweetness, but it is characterized by a sharp acidity. The aftertaste is also sour. The umami is mixed in there. Rather than being crisp, it is a very drinkable sake. It is surprising that it is low alcohol and white malt. It can be fully enjoyed alone.

Unfiltered raw sake & Asahi rice for 2,530 yen including tax is a super deal ‼️ It is not so fresh, but has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight sense of maturity. The rich umami comes in smoothly, and the finish is crisp and tight. It has a good balance of bitterness, bitterness, and sweetness, and is the type of sake that one does not get tired of drinking as an unfiltered, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a good sake to drink with food or as an evening drink. ❗️ It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

It tastes a little bit like aged, but it has all the sweetness, flavor, bitterness, and spiciness you would expect. It tastes like tea. It tastes like apple tea. It is a slightly different type of flavor. It tastes juicy, sweet and spicy. Some people may find it spicy, but it's a subtle taste.

Japanese>English

Enjoying delicious sake with the brewer 20259 The booth of Washin. Since it is located in the mountains, there are many dry sakes that go well with the meat-eating culture. ◉Washin Tokubetsu Junmai Omachi Slightly aged with a hint of grain. It can be served lukewarm and is easy to pair with all kinds of food. ◉Washin Junmai Unfinished Nama-shu Asahi This is the most popular of the WASHIN brands. It has a strong rice flavor with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. It is made from Asahi rice. It grows tall and falls over easily, and it seems that the only farmers producing Asahi are in Osaka and a small part of Okayama. ◉Washin Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Namaishiki The nose is sweet and clean, with a hint of Yamadanishiki. The nose is sweet and clean, not unlike Yamadanishiki. The sake is a little strong. ◉Washin Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake Omachi The same structure as Yamadanishiki. It is made with a yeast that produces acidity, and is moderately sweet with a strong flavor that is typical of Omachi. This is my favorite. ◉Washin Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-Nishiki Elegant, clean, and graceful. The taste is slightly bitter. It is a small brewery, and after Corona, the number of bottles produced decreased considerably.

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'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...

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

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 🤤

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.

Japanese>English

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.

(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 🤣.
