This sake was awarded as a prize on Sake Day. A refreshingly dry sake with a rich, umami (deliciously spicy) flavor. Perfect with fish dishes.

It's been a while since I bought sake at the Aomori Iwate Antenna Shop. It says it's nigori sake, but it's not cloudy at all😅. It's very clear and quite crisp. I got the impression that it's a pretty dry sake, but there's also a little sweetness. I can see a little bit of off-flavor...

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

🥂 Kojun Umami Dry! It's 19 degrees alcohol but it was gone in no time 😅 It was delicious 😋👍

"Believing in something is a responsibility. Even if the result of believing is not as you expected, it is your responsibility. "I don't recommend it as a liquor store. But if you're buying it for yourself, you might want to keep it at room temperature before drinking it, even though it's raw sake. Even if it fails, it is my responsibility to make the right choice, so don't worry. It's been one month since I stored it. The color is yellowish and reminds me of a strong taste. The aroma is fermented and ripe. In the mouth... the taste is juicy and complex, a true taste of rice! The initial specs are that it is a little dry, but as it ages, the sweetness is brought out and it is very Tsuchida-like. It has the flavor of a dense, rich, umami flavor that brings out so much of the rice flavor, and the flavor deepens more and more to the point that it cannot be described in a single word." This flavor!" The taste develops further from the point where the tongue catches it. On the other hand, if you put it in your mouth and drink it right away, you will be surprised at how easy it is to drink. This is too good to be true... I'm glad the drinker believes in the drinker... Next year, I'm going to try drinking it refrigerated. I wonder what it will taste like. PS...After another month of opening the bottle, a nice fermented aroma comes out. This one's good too!

This time it is Taiyo Shuzo's Namahoshi Taiyo. It is made entirely from Nojoho produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It is a sake with 19% alcohol by volume, It has an alcohol content of 19 degrees. Taiyo Shuzo is a small sake brewery located in Eigashima, Akashi. It is a small sake brewery located in Eigashima, Akashi. This time we attended a new sake tasting 🙌. It is served at room temperature. The color is a slight yellowish hue. The top aroma is mild, with a dark orange koji aroma. The mouthfeel is fresh, tangy, and slightly thickened. The strong sense of alcohol, The sweet, thick, milky lactic acidity and citrusy koji flavor are powerful. The aftertaste is smooth with a mild bitterness. It tastes just like the powerful word "Taiyo" on the label, which is very typical and good 😆. I bought some Hinepon, a specialty of Eigashima, as a souvenir and served it with new pickled turnips. I bought some Hinepon, a specialty of Eigashima, as a souvenir and dressed it with new mekabu (turnips). We spent the day sightseeing in Akashi.

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

Japanese>English

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

Sweet and bitter with a bitter aftertaste. It has a bitter aftertaste with a sweet and bitter aftertaste... It is a mellow dry sake... It does not have a cloying taste... It is a good match for strong flavored dishes... Although it is not the latest popular sake, it has a presence that says you are drinking sake. ...this is delicious in its own way...

I had received this sake at a New Year's party at Maguchi in G-machi and bought it because it was delicious. Maybe it's because we share the same Fussa, or maybe it's just a preconceived notion, but I can't help but feel that it is somewhat similar to Tama Boast. Is it a peculiar sweetness? I drank it after Zao Miyamanishiki, so when I compared the two, the sweetness of Zao was clear and transparent, which I personally prefer.

Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City. Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on. This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake! This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.

A challenge themed drink, apparently😊. I don't know about the details but it's neat😄. I don't know the details, but it's refreshing 😋

I was thrilled to discover a cozy sake store in a residential area that looked like a renovated warehouse 🚙 and entered the store to meet my first sake. The soft aroma that reminds me of apples, the full-bodied sweetness like cotton candy, and the slight rice flavor...it's delicious enough to be enjoyed on its own 😋.

Mutenzo of Tachibanakura Shuzo, which we visited during our Saku Sake brewery tour in GW. My wife bought it as a souvenir. It is sweet and delicious. The sweetness is still there, but it is not too strong, and the spiciness finishes it off. Delicious.
