My first Kurosawa. Just after opening the bottle, the cork blew up to the ceiling. When you pour it, it fires strongly. When you drink it, it is refreshing like a carbonated drink. Immediately afterwards, a strong flavor and a strong alcohol feeling rushes in. There is no sweetness, and the mellowness of the umami and nigori is addictive. It is a very delicious sake. It will be a repeat customer.

Shinshu Sake Month without my permission 😆 Here's today's partner for the hard table: ‼️ First Kurosawa ‼️ Oh, is it déjà vu for yesterday's Masumi 🤣. It has the same sour taste! Is this sourness a fad? Well, it's great for eating in 👍It goes well with meat too, so I enjoyed it with both the minced pork cutlet and chicken cutlet as usual 😋. Here's a sip of Shinanotsuru Stubborn! Gentle sweetness 😋 and lingering ❤️ Oh, you can't beat Gantaku 🤣Shinanotsuru is strong: ‼️

Japanese>English

Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai drinking comparison: ‼️ Kurosawa: ‼️ We started with the Gold Course Taregara-mi blend alsobe. Apparently it's a blend of 4 different types of sake. Oden with a side of oden It's a dangerous sake with a gentle sweetness that is typical of Shinshu sake and a bitter and astringent taste that will keep you going 😆. I would drink this one all the time if we compare 😅

Yoshida Kurau - Kijo Sake REMIX IMAYA HANPUKAI SAKE 2024 Co. Yoshi Sake Brewery Sake from Ishikawa Prefecture I can feel the gasiness, the acidity at the beginning, the sweetness, and the bitterness. It's a mellow type of sake because of the sake's assertiveness. It is a delicious sake.

Japanese>English

It has a stable taste. The acidity is not strong, the sweetness is not spitting out, and in a good sense, it does not show the strength of its individuality. It is a sake like "Houken", which is made by adding the elements of good sake to good water. It is a sake that is best suited as a food sake. It is a delicious sake.

Bought directly from the Mukho Sake Brewery... Aroma: Slightly cemedine? As the label on the back says, it's a solid and heavy sake. It is like a local sake, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit of a problem, but...it soaks into your guts...it goes well with strong flavored snacks...smoked hoya and stewed tuna...I enjoy it with a little bit of it....

Japanese>English

This is also a gift from my youngest son... a local Chichibu sake from my hometown of Chichibu, Saitama. I know you may not like it, but...it goes well with Chichibu's hormone...and today's snack was...freshly kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) from Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The third one is Mukho Masamune, next door. Rokkaku-san was also visiting 😅 Fruity, a little sour, but delicious 😋.

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.

January 29, 2024 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I had a casual drink with my junior colleague who recently got into Sake. The fourth glass was my first sake, Miyako Bijin The fourth glass was a freshly squeezed, light nigori sake of Miyako Bijin, which is a first for me. It is silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness). Silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness).

It has a gorgeous(?) sweetness at first and a very refreshing aftertaste. It has a sweet taste at first, and the aftertaste is very refreshing. I would like to enjoy it as a light snack or by itself.

Japanese>English

My wife has a slight taste disorder, but since she couldn't spend time at her parents' house 😊, we treated her to another New Year's meal 🎍. The wine to go with it was "Kyo no Hana" purchased at our favorite liquor store in Kushiro, Sagajo Shoten. I was torn between this and "Tatsusen" brewed by the same brewery, neither of which I had ever tasted before, but I chose this one because of the "fantastic rice" description 😊. Kyo no Hana No.1! There really are a lot of different sake rice varieties available: ‼️ It has a sharpness that is typical of Fukushima sake, but at the same time, it has a moist and gradually delicious flavor 😋.

Japanese>English

Kyo-no-Hana from the sake bag I bought in Fukushima. It is sweet but not too sweet, so it is very tasty. Today I paired it with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), grilled hanpen cheese with mentaiko (cod roe), and ahi jio with nori (dried seaweed), all of which went very well together.

Hmm, this is my kind of thing 😆😆. The alcohol content is a solid 17 degrees, but you don't feel it at all, it has a smooth mouthfeel😊Lot management is important so you don't suffer the next day.

The color of the sake is yellow and the taste is refreshing and clean. It has a slightly salty taste. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, and the sake is very drinkable. The sake has a strong sense of attention to detail.
