First time! Kirinzan....not much aroma....sweet and bitter, then sharp! Enjoy the delicious taste of Koshitanrei. The best and strongest for Niigata sake 🍶Meal sake 🍶 🍶 😀 Today, I'm having dinner with seasonal "Kogomi" and "Asatsuki" & Sashimi.......enjoying the spring ☘️

Japanese>English

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

Japanese>English

Junmai Ginjo specification. Sweetness and umami are mild.

I drank it after Senzuke, so I got the order wrong. I think it is a good sake 🍶.

Japanese>English

I bought this cup of sake when I bought Shinshu the other day. The concept seems to be to serve it with ramen, but I bought some fried chicken because Daiichi Shuzo told me that it also goes well with oily food like Machichuuka. I heard it has acidity, and it certainly does, but it's spicy. The spicier the better. But it is delicious! The fat from the fried food flows off nicely. This is good, I'll buy it again.

Japanese>English

"Sanomaru Cup" Thin and clean texture. Flavor is forward and crisp, with notes of raspberry, cucumber, bubblegum, and almond paste. Finish is fast and clean.

Aizu 3

Aizu Shuzo's Aizu Ginjo Nama Shu Arabashiri. The initial aroma is just a hint of sweetness, but once you take a sip, a soft sweetness and bitterness spreads. It has a clear, fresh, powerful flavor, and is crisp and clean. Although it is a ginjo-shu with alcohol, it is smooth and easy to drink, and the alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees, so it is easy to enjoy and delicious. 😋♪

Japanese>English

Rough and dark taste! A little weighty too.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Akita Sake Komachi It has a good sweetness and is crisp and clean. It is a good food sake. When I find a sake like this, I buy it immediately.

I was wondering what the same company that did Tenka and Shihu would do with the Meimon Shukai now that they've taken over the business? I was wondering what they were going to do with the prestigious sake associations, and then they released it 😊. Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Is it white malted rice? It's so acidic that I thought it was white malted rice. It also has a slightly dry atmosphere. It has a unique taste, but it is delicious. I wonder if the product for the Meimon Shukai that was sold before was Yuyamanishiki, but instead of using Yuyamanishiki, they used Gohyakumangoku to separate it from Honami.

This is the first time I've drunk this since they changed the label design. Mild but fruity. It has a calm feeling. It has a melon-like atmosphere. Deep and juicy.

Japanese>English

This is the first time for me to drink Jukishin except for Yumachi. I was wondering what Nemuchi-san was drinking. It's almost the same as Nemuchi's review, but it's a bittersweet, melon-like, and bitter. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's delicious in its own way 😋.

Japanese>English

Longing! Going to Sakelabo Tokyo (^_^)☆. I'm going to go to Sakaelabo Tokyo. (2) Jukishin Ehime's sake, is it your first time? What the heck, I don't remember much lol. Maybe I ( '-')swooned ⤴︎ and drank it naturally.

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.

Japanese>English

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 😅

★★★★ Tried and bought. Cheap and tasty! A drink to repeat.

Japanese>English

mathematical operation Gentle rice sweetness. Slight tongue numbness. Melon aroma. Refreshing flavor. For some reason, I felt the commonality of honey in the depths. Despite the old-fashioned label, the impression is clean and modern without any cloying taste. Surprisingly, it is quite tasty. Purchased at Sakai Meizo. Unzan used to be produced and sold under the same brand name at several breweries, including this one and Yoshinoya in the Zenkoji temple gate town. Currently, Sakai Meikozo is no longer making sake, but has a soba noodle shop, cafe, and souvenir shop in a renovated brewery building, and the old brewery is open for tours. The sake sales corner is modest.

Unzan Junmai Nama-zake 1600yen (The color is clear. It goes down smoothly on the palate. The delicious taste of rice and the juiciness of the sake will hit your tongue. The aftertaste is not harsh, but moderate. We recommend drinking it with appetizers, sashimi, and other dishes that are served with dashi broth. The target group is sake drinkers. It is good for those who want dry sake. Sake from Nagano

Salmon Marche Week. Memory is hazy. Records are illegible. Here is the record. Kaga no Tsuki no Heating.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

Acidity Flamboyant Thick

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Japanese>English

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.
