Wow, it's so sour! I thought, but the label on the back said it was made that way. Come to think of it, it might be just right for the coming season. So we enjoyed it.

Japanese>English

My first nigorizake. It smells like grapefruit and tastes like Calpis soda. It's a sweet and sour strange drink⁉️It's also dangerous because of its low alcohol content. But it was very tasty😃💡.

Japanese>English

It's my first time to drink Hiraizumi❗️ I've never had a Junmai Daiginjo from Yamahai 🤔. It doesn't have a fruity aroma❗️ Somewhat spicy aroma and taste😅 It's very unusual. I've tasted it somewhere before but can't remember where 😥. It's a daiginjo so it has a clean aftertaste. But to be honest, it wasn't my favorite taste 😥. I wonder what other Hiraizumi tastes like❓

Wine Shaoxing Wine Sweet and Sour Acidity Hot Temperature Grape Juice Sweetness

At home. The color is eye-catching. It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, with soda, or hot, but I had it on the rocks. I can't deny that the aroma is pulled in by the color, but it smells like red wine? And grainy? It's quite special. When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and sour taste stands out, and at the beginning of the drink, you feel a unique and strong sourness. It was a gem that I have never drunk before.

Japanese>English

Sake brewed from ancient rice. The color is reddish. It may be a good challenge for those who cannot drink sake. The acidity is strong and I found it similar to the taste of Shaoxing sake. It is not suitable for those who are looking for a standard sake, but in a sense, it may be a sake that matches the times, as we now live in a world that demands diversity.

Japanese>English

( *´艸`)🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is also my first time to see Ine in full bloom😃. I bought this at a souvenir shop in Amanohashidate✨. When poured into a glass, it is a purple colored liquor💜The aroma is like a mild grape🍇😚and in the mouth it tastes like a grape again, with a good balance of sweet and sour 😊👍It tastes like Shaoxing wine or red wine 😘It is a delicious liquor and I finished off 300ml 😋. The fourth picture is my first crotchless shot 📸 at Amanohashidate 😁It was a beautiful view ✨🥳.

Ibaraki Sake 🍶. Sake rice: 100% Koshihikari produced in Tango, Kyoto Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol: 15-16° C, unfiltered, raw sake, black malted rice sake mother

Japanese>English

Shirakiku Aged Sake Honjozo 15-16% 70% 1.8ml It is like a plum wine with a moderate sweetness. It has a peculiar taste. And it has the maximum seme feeling. There are days when you can enjoy it, and other days when your body can't handle the peculiarity. This kind of sake should be heated. Yes, I can handle it this way. But as it gets to room temperature, it gets more and more peculiar. I wonder how long this sake has been aged. If it has been aged for a long time, it should be written on the label. I tried to check the brewery's information, but it went bankrupt! They went bankrupt! It's a good thing I went to the brewery last. It's a pity, because the Junmai Genzake was a delicious sake with a good price. Rating 3.5 (out of 5.0) 20240301

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

It is a bit harsh on its own, but the cut kipper changes it drastically. It is a marriage. It matches with grains of rice malt. A little spiciness and bitterness with fried oysters.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

Purchased on a business trip to Tokyo to try it. Almost a year later, I finally opened the bottle. It is sweet, with a hint of acidity, maybe the work of wine yeast. Finally, the rice flavor tastes like Koshihikari from Tango. Bats for sure. The 22nd year was brewed with Italian rice called Carnaroli, which I wanted to drink.

This sake is made with high malic acid producing yeast ^_^. The moment you drink it, the sweet and sour taste of apple... As you drink it, you can feel the rice of sake... A new sensation! It's delicious!

This doburoku is made to order. I pre-ordered it at the end of August through a guide from my favorite liquor store, and it has arrived. It's my first doburoku! The sweet and sour Awaraku in the photo expresses it all. It tastes like sweet sake with the texture of petite rice and the sizzling cider-like carbonation you feel when you crush it, making it a refreshing, mouth-watering drink. It's adjusted to 5% alc:5% and goes down swiftly. It's no longer a dessert!

Japanese>English

I was completely captivated by the 126. This time it is in a large size of 1440ml. It is also nice that it comes in a PET bottle with no decoration at all. The bottle was opened while feeling the healthy yeast. Yes, it's really good! It is a super thick, bumpy type of wine. The expression is too harsh, but it is like "drinking yogurt-flavored porridge" (it is delicious, so please do not misunderstand me...). It is low in alcohol and you can drink it up in no time. I still have about half a year to go, but I can't wait for this year's season.

Japanese>English

One of my colleagues recommended that I buy a bottle 🍶126, which he said should be read as doburoku. It has a refreshing sweetness, sourness, and fizz, so it is truly an adult's calpis soda! The rice is still there, so I guess it is a pulp(?) I think it's a Calpis soda with rice 😁. It's 5% alcohol, so there's almost no alcohol taste, and I can't stop drinking it... I'd drink it every day ✨.

I always wanted to drink Tanaka Sentori. I was surprised at the quality of Sentori and the quality of and the quality of Tanaka Rokugo. Since then, 12 years have passed. I think about many things when I drink it. I can say this much. It's very tasty. While cheering for the baseball game While thinking about various things I enjoy it very much.

Japanese>English

Fukuoka! So this is the Kyushu Brewery Shiraito Shuzo. It is different from the Tanaka Rokugo we just drank! Yeast is amazing. My subordinate, who came late, brought in some food. This is a must have for a night out in Fukuoka. Without it, I might not have been able to go home the next day.

The name is Motooi no Matsu. It doesn't say it, but the rice is Miyamanishiki. The sake shop's website says the sake content is -11, but I didn't feel it was that sweet. It's clean and clean, with a slight honey-like sweetness. It has an excellent balance of umami and acidity. It's a bit light for a raw sake. It says "light" on the back label. The label on the back says it is light. Is it a strong sake that can withstand aging?

Japanese>English

The youngest and eldest daughter's sake. The aroma is like freshly cooked rice. The taste is sweet like a sugar cube. My personal favorite might be pink junmai sake. But still, it's very cost-effective. 1,520 yen (tax included)
