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 🥳.

Toyama Eki-naka Sake Bar (7) Sanjoraku Yamahai Honjozo This sake is probably best served warmed, but it was also good cold. It's getting hard to drink standing up...

Japanese>English

Sanjoraku's unique flavor is still there! The sweetness and umami that comes afterwards is good👍 I want to eat pickles with it 😁.

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

I bought this in front of Koumi station when I stopped by Nagano. It has a characteristic tangy al feeling, and this stimulation when heated sake is rather irresistible. It was a delicious dry sake with a great flavor and I would drink it again. However, in this day and age, I wonder if it is a good idea to hang rice on the label. It seems a waste.

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.

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.

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 😿.

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 🤣.

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‼️.

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.

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.

At home. First time on Mt. Ena ~ ‼️ I thought it was absolutely delicious and bought it. And I opened the bottle immediately. Well, the aroma is gorgeous. It is smooth, fruity, and has a perfect balance of sweet and sour tastes. ‼️ It is also very easy to drink, so it was a perfect choice. ‼️ My son, who was with me, took a sip and tasted it. He said, "It has a noticeable sourness. He understood very well. I felt that our family's level of Japanese sake tasting is improving little by little.

Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.
