Sweet and fruity aroma...sweet and bitter aftertaste...mellow rice flavor...lingering aftertaste...yummy! I enjoy it with grilled grouper tidbits and fried horse mackerels...it's a hit!

Japanese>English

The first time I drank fire-brewed Mikotsuru was delicious, so I chose unfiltered raw sake 🍶Gohyakumangoku♪ Both the aroma and mouthfeel are fruity like Gohyakumangoku♪ The aftertaste is sharp with a good amount of bitterness! The bitterness is not to everyone's liking............................................It is also good as a food sake. ⭕️ It's very fresh only because it's a fresh sake 🍶! Nagano sake 🍶 is high quality 🤔.

Japanese>English

The first Mikotsuru! Aroma: A hint of fruity rice aroma... sweetness on the palate, followed by an aftertaste of just the right amount of bitterness! Aftertaste from the sweetness...good bitterness to a sharp finish! I like the sweet, mellow, umami taste of Nagano sake 🍶... Nagano sake never fails me 🎵Yummy 😋 Hey... this too... there was some delicious looking "raw bonito" so I had this with it... the "fat" was so rich that you would never guess it was bonito this time of the year... I'd like to try the unfiltered raw one next time,

The last sake I purchased on my GW Niigata trip. I opened Hishiko. As stated on the label, it had a mellow sweet sake quality that brought out the aroma of the yeast, the umami of the rice, and a beautiful sweetness. It has a clean aftertaste, making it an excellent choice as a mealtime sake. I would like to try it again on my wonderful trip to Niigata.

Japanese>English

( ´´call me´´)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I got my first bottle of Hishiko 😋. The lady at the liquor store I always go to recommended it to me 😚. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma 😊The aroma is round, clean, sweet and delicious 🤤The taste is light with a clean and crisp aftertaste that you will never get tired of 😘. This is the first time I've had this sake and it's delicious ✨🥳🥳.

Full-bodied and refreshing! Very delicious ^_^.

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.

My favorite Machida Sake Brewery...and OMACHI...my absolute favorite! The aroma is sweet and fruity from the omachi......and the mouthfeel is sweet and crisp with a nice aftertaste......this sake exceeded my expectations...! It's delicious.......it doesn't betray me.......

Fruity and sweet aroma like pear...gasiness like only direct pumping can give.... Fresh...a moderate bitterness from the sweet taste typical of the Machida brewery...delicious enough to drink on its own...I'm sipping it with a side dish of assorted fish directly from the port of Yawatahama...it goes well with white fish!

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.

Japanese>English

LUNCH SAKE✨ The aroma is clean. Moderate acidity and sweetness, with a pleasant bitterness that lingers... Not a common taste, I like it ♡. The next day, I added a note. When I put it in my mouth with all my might... It is filled with a muscat-like aroma..!

It has been a long time since I have had a Genmai. The aroma is slightly fruity, the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, and the taste is sharp! Enjoying the delicious taste of Miyamanishiki....... I am enjoying it with my favorite sashimi of kibinago and isobe-age firefly squid......................

Japanese>English

Smells of grapes and oil clay. The wine has a pungent, thick, pungent, sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and pleasant to drink. The juiceiness, saliva-like flavor, and bitterness. Powerful. It is delicious! It does not become watery in the middle. A delicious sake that makes you want to eat a meal.

Japanese>English

The first touch is a gentle mouthfeel, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. You can feel the slight sweetness and deliciousness. All of the Genmai are dusty 😙.

2021/09/11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opened the bottle carefully with a little bit of crown. As soon as you open it, you can smell the fresh aroma of lactic acid. A gentle refreshing sweetness and then a dry feeling comes. It is a type of beer that can be drunk crisply until the end. Thanks to the low alcohol and strong carbonation It's so refreshing that I couldn't stop sipping it.

Japanese>English

Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi? It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.

Japanese>English

Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake. It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator. It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake. The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way). At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor. The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake. Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.

This sake went well with kappo cuisine! It has depth! Not too much ginjo!

Japanese>English

It was completely destroyed by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but was rebuilt in the spring of the following year and named "Kuzo" (meaning "empty storehouse"), again starting from "zero" (空). What a mellow Junmai Daiginjo! It has a sweet top-shelf aroma with a hint of alcohol. The taste is not fruity or sour, but rather a spicy sweetness that dominates the tongue. The liquid has a slight yellowish tinge, and the legs are thin and clear.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part75 Gunma 6 Mr. Takai in Fujioka City! I think they had closed their brewery for some reasons and were shipping out their stock, but I saw on SNS that they have started brewing again. I see that they have also released a draft sake. I drank a bottle of nama sake about 4 years ago when the warehouse was already closed, so it was a slightly matured one. Polishing ratio 55%, domestic rice, 15 degrees, Sake degree +2, Acidity 1.6, 1401 yeast? 1747 yen I thought it would be matured, so I was disappointed with its clean taste and no sense of maturity😅. I wonder if there are any liquor stores far from Takatsuki station or south of Kyoto station 🤔.
