Mildly refreshing aroma 🥂. Soft and juicy fruit on the palate 😌 Very well balanced, high alcohol content but dangerous to drink more and more 🤤

Ueno tasted Fujioka sake. It was a blend of matured sake and a good sake, with a moderate drinking experience. It was a truly delicious sake with a flavor gently brewed over time.

I bought this brand together with Ken-Aizan because I had not yet had any of Kangiku's other brands. The flavor is not as impressive as Ken-Aizan, but it is an honest and tasty type of sake. I like Kangiku's sake as a whole, and I always find a good flavor in a modest way.

Japanese>English

The sake is of 90% polishing ratio. A very bubbly sake with fragrance of white flower, white peach and apple. The texture is light, with flavours of grapes and pear, also tasted sour. Not much umami but it gets more alcoholic flavor when it gets warmer. Best if drink chilled.

In the fall of 2023, I ordered Ken Aizan, and for one reason or another, when I first tasted it a year later, I was surprised by its flavor and taste. When I learned last month that Ken-Aizan was being shipped again, I immediately pre-ordered. Once again, the flavors are wonderfully complex, the body is very well balanced, the bubbles are subdued, and it is an excellent match for meat dishes and curries. Considering the price and difficulty of obtaining this sake, I believe it is not at all inferior to Sansho's Kako and will certainly be a repeat purchase.

Very refreshing! First taste is muscat with a hint of cucumber towards the finish. There is a slight dryness at the finish which is nice. A light mouth feel and a short finish. The name of this Sake is true to the flower.

The rice is Miyamanishiki. Polishing ratio 49%. It has a beautiful sweet and umami taste. It has a fine gaseous feeling and is fruity and gorgeous. It has an apple-like taste, but it also has a burnt apple feel. It is also refreshing. It is also good for the cost.

Trip to Nagano Sake Bars (5) All-you-can-drink buffet at the inn! Beer, wine, shochu, sake, and a bottle of Keiryu 🍶 but on this day, we had beer followed by red and white wine 😋. An old man at another table with a big family poured a glass full of Keiryu into a cup instead of a cup 😅I can't tell you how many times we went back and forth 😅It was a quintessential Showa style drinking 🍶. The lighting in the hotel was dark and the lights were turned off at 9pm. Maybe the management has changed and they have cut costs 🧐. We went to bed early without turning on the TV 🛌. I woke up and looked at the clock to see that I hadn't slept well in a long time 🥱 and it was 11:00 ⏰If I was younger, I would have said, "Oh no, I overslept ‼️" but it was actually 11:00 at night 😆 and it was still today😓and from there I slept every hour and got up and repeated every hour until morning arrived! I miss my younger days when I could sleep as long as I wanted 😢. And that's why I'm drinking Nagano sake! As J&N readers with good memories may know, I made a mistake 🫢 and drank Toyoka-san, and ever since then I've been looking for the "賀" one, Toyoka-san. ‼️ I'm so excited to have found it 🥹. I'll make love to you! The aroma is fruity 😌. I love the way the aroma is fruity 😌, and when you take a sip, you get a well-balanced harmony of sweet and sour 🎶 that spreads throughout your mouth 😋 and finishes with a bit of bitterness 😋! It's so good! ☺️ to be continued

Japanese>English

This is the first Toyoga here, highly recommended by the liquor store owner 🍶. Fruity, thick and mellow aroma ✨. The moment you take a sip, you can feel the delicious rice flavor and full sweetness spreading in your mouth, while the light acidity and bitterness are also delicious 😋. It is quite drinkable 🍶. No wonder the owner recommended it so highly 🍶. After all, it is "Tennyo no Shizuku" ✨Thanks for the sake ☺️ (see the label on the back) Personally, I like it cold, but it tastes more mellow and full-bodied when it's slightly warmed up.

( ´´▽｀)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first Yui Yui Hitachinomegumi, which we purchased on our GW trip 😀. After purchasing it, I was disappointed to learn that the brewery was destroyed by fire. I hope to drink some of the Yuki Sake Brewery's sake and hope it is rebuilt 🥺. The aroma is mild and also has a mild rice flavor, combined with a pleasant acidity 🤔 with a clean aftertaste 😚 It is a beautiful sake and I would like to have the basic Yui label next time 😊.

Japanese>English

The third drink at Kaku-uchi When we were told that it was time to go home, we chose for our last drink the miraculous Yui Yui sake that was rescued from the scene of a fire^ ^ ^. It has a refreshing taste... and you feel refreshed after drinking it! It's just so easy to drink! And delicious! I would like to try this sake with a meal next time. I sincerely hope the brewery recovers as soon as possible 🙏. A little something extra... I could not eat the snack of Kishu Nanko Ume because they were out of stock due to the heat of the day (T . T)

Japanese>English

Today, I got the Yui! Opened the bottle and the aroma is good. In the mouth, easily, not much sweetness, no sourness. But I feel something that is not bitterness. That's as far as I got, I couldn't even tell the characteristics of the rice... Maybe next time..! Maybe..,

Yoemon 3

Rooster Yoemon from Kawamura Sake Brewery in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture. This sake is famous for its sour taste, which is rare in Iwate Prefecture. I drank it for the first time at a store in Hanamaki and was surprised by the sourness. It seemed to be quite a challenge since Iwate is generally known for its sweet and tasty sake. Even so, I heard that the owner stubbornly continued to make sour sake. (^○^) Nowadays, with the Shinsai boom, Yoemon's sour sake is also selling well, especially outside of the prefecture. This sake itself is light and refreshing. It has a mild taste that does not interfere with meals. It was very tasty. ( ´ ▽ ` ) No

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got my first three stars 😀. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we have a little quirky one for you 💁. Mitsurensei 15th Anniversary Special Sake 5 Years Aged Shiga Watabune Rokugou ✨ H29BY=2017BY and from 2022.7 when shipped, it's aged 5 years, but it's now aged 6 years with +1 year in our house😅. I'll try it as an after-dinner drink after dinner 🍶. It's colorless and clear when you pour it into the cup. The aroma is completely old and matured, with hints of dried grapes, brandy, chocolate, and cacao...it's just mellow. The taste is also bitter with bitter chocolate sweetness, followed by alcohol 😋. Six years of aging is no joke 😎.

Japanese>English

I will drop a second one this evening. This is the second of the three stars limited edition extravaganza✨ This time it's the Arcburg strain, reprint yellow yeast. The aroma is not flashy at all, it's a traditional sake with a graininess and beaniness, but the taste is a complete turnaround, with bitterness and sourness from biting the peel of citrus fruits, and it's quite dry with the alcohol running down the nose, perfect for a mealtime sake 😋. The dryness of the reissued yellow malted rice is not a date: ‼️

Sake Day I wanted to open something from the fridge😅. I've never heard of this sake before but I've been curious about it since Mariponnu's check-in 😊. First Koimari! I can't imagine how good it smells from the label. It's very fruity and sweet! It also has a nice exit feeling. The finish is clean and crisp👍👍.

Aizu Shikon 3

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 😋.

Japanese>English

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 😋

Japanese>English

My first Aizu Shikon: ❗️ It's another brand of Nagurayama. Nagurayama is fruity and modern. It tastes fruity and modern. but this sake has quite a robust taste. It tastes quite robust. ❗️ It is sweet and has a unique aroma 🤔. I guess it's not to everyone's liking. I don't dislike it 😊. It has a good umami and not too much aftertaste. It's a good choice for a meal. The interesting thing about sake is that it tastes very different depending on the brand even if it's from the same brewery 😊.
