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 🤣.

Morinori's Nama Sake. I think the sake here tastes better on draft than on fire-roasted. It has a fairly vigorous effervescence and a strong cloudiness. The aroma is pineapple, sweet aroma of koji and lactic acidity. Refreshing. There is a slight shwash, mainly sweetness and acidity, but there is also a mineral-like backbone. There is a bitter aftertaste. The image is a little different. Minerality in the back end? The bitterness is not good. I thought it was good when I drank it before, but maybe it's the way it's chilled?

Japanese>English

This is delicious! I was told that it is good to drink it on the rocks, so I drank it on the rocks too! On the rocks it's very rich and thick! On the rocks, it dilutes it a bit and gives it a nice flavor. ☺️ I like both ❤️

1833 2024/6 Kinshi-Morinori Junmai-Ginjo Nigori Sake Hyogo Yamadanishiki 60 16° 24/5 A+ Kakogawa City, Hyogo 720 1890 I heard it was an active nigori, but was it fire-aged? The fizzy sensation was quite strong, and although I was very careful to open the bottle, I almost blew out even on the second glass. The taste is dry at first, but thanks to the very smooth orization, the sweetness and umami come slowly later. It can be enjoyed not only as a sparkling sake, but also as a deeply flavored nigori sake. Sake-no-wa, I see that I can no longer log in from my PC: ......

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 other day, after eating my second bowl of ramen🍜🍥🍜 at the SUSURU Ramen Fest Toyama, I took a walk and bought this at Mizuhata-san. This is the first time I have ever had San Shoraku 😀. The aroma is mild and not too much 🤔The mouthfeel is smooth and light with a gentle sweetness and mild acidity 😊The taste is strong but disappears easily 😚👍. It was a light yet robust and delicious sake 🥳.

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.

At home. My first Nanamizu. When opening the bottle, there is a fizzy feeling. The aroma is muscat, and when you put it in your mouth, in addition to the fizzy feeling, there is a strong sweetness, followed by sourness and umami. The bitterness is felt at the end, but it is easy to drink. I think the description on the back is right on target. It is an excellent product that is very easy to drink.

It arrived together with a large amount of Kangiku that I had reserved since the end of last year. My fridge is full again😅. This may be my first Nanamizu. Fresh, juicy, fruity! I wonder if it tastes like this because it's Yume-Sarara. It's Sunday and I'm drinking too much.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (2) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. It was my first time to try Hakonezan! This is the spiciest sake in the group. It is a dry ginjo-shu as you might imagine, but it is moderately rich and very good as a mid-meal drink. Of course, it goes well with ingredients as they are, but it also goes well with dishes that have been added, such as those using dashi (Japanese soup stock)!

Japanese>English

I received this. This size is just right for me.

Not very sweet, not very spicy. Taste with character.

[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 🤩.

@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. ❣️
