Koshihikari is used. A little sweetness from the hit. The aftertaste is smooth.

I've been sober for a few days, but I've lifted the ban. Is it the limited sake prepared for the Niigata Sake Festival? The usual brand is called "Tenjinbayashi". It has a juicy and rich sweet taste. It has a sweet taste that is not like Niigata sake. It is not fruity and the aroma is a bit quirky. It may be different for each taste. It is sweet, but it has a chunky sweetness...

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: ☺️

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

I went on a trip to Nagano. I went to a place on the Nakamise street of Zenkoji temple and compared 6 kinds of drinks. This one has a strong fruit flavor. I liked this one the best.

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.

Sake rice is Senbon-Nishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 60 Alcohol content is 16

Japanese>English

It's a little gassy and petite. More of a rice-flavor explosion type. It also has a bit of sweetness and minerality. It's been a long time since I've had this type of sake.

Japanese>English

Very mild sweet and juicy 🤭. I bought the last bottle of this year's limited edition weak oleh. The guy at Shimadaya Brewery in Utsunomiya Terrace recommended it to me and he was right, yummy 🥰.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

It has been a long time since I have had a Genmai. The aroma is slightly fruity, the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and the taste is sharp! Enjoying the delicious taste of Miyamanishiki....... I am enjoying it with my favorite sashimi of kibinago and isobe-age firefly squid......................

Japanese>English

Smells of grapes and oil clay. The wine has a pungent, thick, pungent, sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and pleasant to drink. The juiceiness, saliva-like flavor, and bitterness. Powerful. It is delicious! It does not become watery in the middle. A delicious sake that makes you want to eat a meal.

Japanese>English

The first touch is a gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. You can feel the slight sweetness and deliciousness. All of the Genmai are dusty 😙.

Good evening, I'll have your first series of Shinrai ⚡️ from Hiroshima 🙌 Jinrai Junmai Senbon Nishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake 2023BY✨ It's been a while since I've had a Senbon Nishiki sake. The aroma is mainly banana yogurt with floral nectar, greenish pear, acidity and alcohol, which I like very much. The sweetness and acidity of the banana yogurt spreads quickly in the mouth, followed by the bitterness and spiciness of the pure rice from the sake, making it so easy to drink without feeling the high alcohol content 😋😋😋😋. It's like drinking a higher alcohol Sentori Classic and I like it very much 😊.

Japanese>English

The end of the month when I was summoned to the head office and given a tough job. This year is going to be a tough year at work. Work aside, I went out for a drink with the head office staff. Hiroshima's Shinrai is my favorite brand. I remember how surprised I was when I drank it for the first time. I thought it would be a "Shinsei" sake with a wooden cask for sake making, but it is not at all. But it's not at all. The yeast is different, of course. It tastes delicious. It has a yogurt flavor, but it matches well with the wooden vat. It was a drink that made me say, "Wow!

Japanese>English

We wander around and enter a tavern we find. The restaurant has a nice view of the quiet sea and the mountainous nightscape from the seats. The sashimi was sea bream! Sake was, of course, locally brewed! This is my first time to try "Kamirai". It goes well with sea bream sashimi! It was like being struck by lightning! I love traveling.
