The wooden vat pressing seems to be a very careful and labor-intensive process. Aroma of maturity, like brown sugar, fills the nose. It makes you salivate a little. It has a nuance of matured sake, a soft mouthfeel with a rich umami flavor, and a sourness that makes the tongue feel tight. It has the same 15% alcohol as Kinjaku, but Haru has a gentler alcohol taste and is easier to drink ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. 🌅🌅

Yasui Sake Brewery's Ikuhashidataro, a sake brewed using the raw yeast method. The sake shop recommended this limited-edition sake made with the finest Shiga Prefecture Ginbukietsu. It had a fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and was refreshing. It was delicious and gone in no time.

Sweet ❗️ sweet anyway ❗️ Milky sweet and low alcohol. It doesn't go well with food😅. I think it would go well with snacks or something sweet for a relaxing time after dinner. How should I drink it❓

(Holly::.) ...:∵buhahaha🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Last night I went fishing for red squid 😀 I caught more than last time, but not as many as usual 😓This time I caught 18 squid and the terminal price was about 380 yen per fish, which is a price I can easily eat 😭 Today we had sashimi of the red squid we caught and Ryuki 😄The aroma is mild and apple-like 😭. The aroma is mild and apple-like 😭The sweetness and umami of rice spreads in the mouth, followed by sourness 😊The aftertaste is not persistent as the sweetness seems to disappear gradually 😊It was a delicious sweet and tasty sake 🥰.

The sake rice is Hitomebore, and the name Hitonatsu no Koi is interesting. The taste is sharp and crisp, and you can enjoy the story while imagining how it is a love that makes you yearn for a flower of high peak. Serve with dashimaki (Japanese soup stock rolls) as a side dish.

Hmmm I don't remember anything other than it was delicious😭

It is a refreshing and easy to drink sake. It has no aftertaste, and is exactly suited for a mealtime drink 🎵I was attracted by the label.

Refreshing, sweet and delicious😋. Mio has a huge market share in the sparkling category😃. It would be great if women who are not familiar with sake could be awakened to the taste of sake and start drinking it every night 😛.

Japanese>English

Aizan sake, still stocked but a little interrupted for refrigerator reasons😅. Shochiku Ume, but brewed in Nada, not Fushimi. There's a big building that looks like a factory near Sunshine Wharf. The bottle and cap have a unique design. The aroma on the nose is quite gorgeous, with a slight nuance of peppermint. In the mouth, it has a gorgeous sweetness and a bitter spiciness. It is refreshing but has a strong personality, probably because it is an unfiltered sake.

Japanese>English

If you drink only unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake during the winter, it can be heavy at times, so in the spring, drinking a light sake like this is good for the stomach 🙂.

I was curious about Kanagawa sake 🍶 purchased at the brewery. Is it for export? Stylish bottle. It has a 90% Omachi rice polishing ratio and 40% koji ratio from Okayama Prefecture. Aroma: Mellow Omachi sweet aroma...sweet mouthfeel! It's not so much a food sake as a wine, but rather a wine that can be drunk in small sips. It's like a dolce in wine. Recommended for first time sake drinkers! I can't wait for this encounter with this delicious sake!

Japanese>English

Purchased at the Origuchi Sake Shop when I went to make a reservation for the Risshun morning pressing. Dark sweetness and strong acidity. The acidity is apple-like. It has a strong sweetness and acidity, but it is light and refreshing and easy to drink. It is a little dry and has a cider-like atmosphere with no gasiness.

First time drinking at home in a while-⤴️🏠️ Mellow, crisp, dry-⤴️✨ Nomiyasui😊 I enjoy it very much(^-^)/

Return Series. With the concept of "to the world", alcohol 12℃. It's something I've been curious about because of my perception that it's an emerging force in Niigata. It's a white wine taste. Almost a white wine. The sourness of the wine was so strong that I gave up on it.

Japanese>English

A 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo, Meguro Gorosuke, from Tama Flavor in Uonuma City (formerly Morimon Village), Niigata Prefecture. As is typical of Uonuma sake, it is a ginjo-shu that is not overly aromatic. I remember drinking it once at Tatsuya, a yakiton (grilled pork dumpling) restaurant in Numabukuro on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.

Japanese>English

Lighter than expected, sour, sweet and ricey. I was worried before drinking it because it had quite a bit of color, but I was relieved to see the explanation on the back label. The Tama Flavor brewery is known for its regular brand, Tama Flavor, which is a light, dry sake that is the king of Uonuma, but they also brew Itkey and 46°C Echigo-Bushi (Samurai), which I recognized once again as a brewery with a very sharp personality.

This is the first time to drink this brand❗️ This sake is sold at a limited number of stores❗️ The only place to buy it is from the liquor store that was involved in making the rice. Aroma of yogurt❗️Taste I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you like, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to find something that I like. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.

I had a bottle of this last month, and it tasted like wine, so even if you don't like sake, I recommend it. I finished a bottle in no time. I'd definitely buy it if I could find it in a store😋.

Hakurei was sold in the bargain section at the supermarket. I bought it by accident. It tasted clean and dry. It was a good purchase.

Japanese>English

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

It was a junmai daiginjo and had a gorgeous apple-like flavor and sweetness. Good for an aperitif.

I went to a health checkup today, and went to a nearby liquor store that sells good sake, and found this Arabashiri. I opened the bottle right away. The first sip was fruity and sweet with a touch of acidity, but the second sip was bitter with a touch of acidity. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I like the taste ☺️. Delicious💕!

Japanese>English

I went to a liquor store in the next city for the first time in a long time, and I thought I'd buy Kameizumi, but I saw this Gohashi next to it, and it was cheap, so I bought it. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

When I bought Nishinoseki the other day, I bought Gohashi with it. It is a small size of 300ml. It is still delicious. I can drink it easily.
