A colleague, who knows I like sake, gave it to me as a business trip gift. I could not read the label at first sight. When I drank it at 5 degrees Celsius, it was sweet, but also somewhat watery... When drunk at 0°C, it was sweet but also firm, with a strong rice flavor.

(*^▽^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had a positive snow love mountain today 😀. Tecate Caravelle is hard to photograph😈. The aroma is mild and not very strong, but when you drink it, the Aizan flavor hits you hard and the acidity follows, but it disappears quickly 😙It has a nice sharpness that keeps you going even with a good sip 🤔It was a delicious sake 🤤.

Imanishi Sake Brewery is well known for its Mimuro Cedar. I have not seen this sake very often, but I bought it thinking that the sake bearing their name must be very strong. The aroma is subdued, but it is like a rummy. It has a light sweetness and a nice sharpness. It has a slight alcohol taste. I heard that Asahi rice is a low GI food, I hope this sake is also low GI 🤣.

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

Japanese>English

On this day, I drove to my wife's parents' home in Saku. When we arrived after a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Tokyo, this local sake was waiting for us. It has an ear of rice on it. I will have a sip. It has the acidity and mellowness of a sake yeast yeast strain, and is dry and crisp. Tiredness melts away.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.

At home. It is still delicious. The sweetness of the rice can be felt in this sake, and that sweetness is elegant. The taste through the nose is fruity and has a gorgeous impression. It is an excellent choice.

Japanese>English

Smells like rum and cider. Juicy, kudzu flavor, not overpowering, good! The pineapple-like sweetness gives way to a slight effervescence, then a sourness, then a rice flavor, then a slight bitterness, and then a sharp finish. This is good.

Ψ(∇)Ψ🍶🍶🍶🍶 Happy New Year! I'm very happy to be here. I bought it in the summer, but I opened a bottle because it was New Year's Day now. The aroma is not gentle but the flavor is gorgeous in the mouth. This year, I'm aiming to drink sake from all 47 prefectures.

[First brand I've been able to drink in about 10 years👍] I got a bottle of Kiri-Tsukuba's light nigori nama-zake (unpasteurized sake) from a hometown tax payment. It is a popular brand that is consumed almost exclusively locally, but it appears that there was some new sake left from last year that will be shipped in December 2022. ✌️ Although it has been over a year, it has not lost much of its freshness with a slight effervescence, and on the other hand, it has a moderate calmness that is quite nice 😋. It has a sweetness, but the refreshing alcohol taste and crispness are the result of the aluzochu liqueur. Like last month's Onra, it's nice to be able to get a brand that is hard to find through hometown tax payment 😆.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we have Kirizukuba Hatsushushibori Light Nigori from Urasato Shuzoten ✨ This one is popular with Ogawa yeast users. I was attracted by the combination of Ogawa yeast, Gohyakumangoku, and light nigori, so I bought it 😅. Let's start with the supernatant. It has a rich sweet aroma of muskmelon red flesh, which is typical of Ogawa yeast, and the taste is very delicious as if you bit into a whole muskmelon 😋 Also, although this sake is alky, there is no stinginess in the aftertaste at all, and the bitterness and spiciness show up and the balance is excellent 👍. The spiciness of the aftertaste is doubled when the lees are involved, making it a sake with a different expression. It is a fun sake 🤗.

Japanese>English

I've always wanted to try Urasato‼️sweet and tasty and refreshing👍I'm sure you'll never get tired of the taste 🤩.

At home. Nagano sake, Kuroemon XVI, was the first time I️ had it. The aroma is gorgeous, the fruity taste is noticeable in the mouth, and it is refreshing and easy to drink. Nagano Prefecture is really great! No disappointment‼️.

Japanese>English

Fruity berry-like aroma, and as the temperature rises, the smell of aged rice. The taste is refreshing, like that of rum, then banana, barley chocolate, umami, ripeness, bitterness, and a hint of kompeito sweetness without leaving a bad taste.

Japanese>English

This year's first Shinshu Kokusai Sake is the 16th generation Kurouemon‼️. Message on the endorsement: "It's new sake! The message on the back I can't help but smile😊😊😊. When you open it, the aroma is refreshing. When you drink it, you will feel the fruitiness of melon candy 😆 and the subtle sweetness and pleasant bitterness! The label is also cute and awesome! The label is also cute and awesome(˂๑˃ᴗ˂̵) I was not sure about the Snow Woman, but I'm glad I bought this one too.

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Shizuoka Business Trip Part ㉔ Last week, on my way back from Mishima, I stopped by Nagashima-san in Numazu and bought some sake from Kunika Sake Brewery. The aroma is refreshing and clean 🤔. 🤔In the mouth Beautiful and soft 😊Refreshing acidity and a good umami taste 😚👍and it's a delicious sake that I never get tired of drinking 🥳.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.

@Hotel Emion Tokyo Pei Rice used is So-no-Mai, Chiba Prefecture's original sake rice. It seems to be a lineage with Omachi as its high grandfather. This is also a delicious sake that goes well with Japanese food. It is refreshing, and the sweetness comes on gradually. It is an all-around sake, not limited to Japanese food.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Yamadanishiki The aroma is like muscat, with a slight sweetness and a crisp finish. There is no bitterness, but I felt it was a little sharp right after opening the bottle. But as I drank more and more, it became more refined, or rather, the taste was developed. ❗️ It has a good balance and is a versatile sake that can be served with any flavor or situation. ‼️ As expected of a flagship sake, it was delicious. ❣️
