Hakkeikubiki is a series of the eight blessings of Kakizaki: sun, water, earth, sky, wind, trees, snow, and people. This is wind. Come to think of it, it was windy in Kakizaki. This is the second bottle from the Sake Rice Study Group. The sake rice is locally grown Koshitanrei. The aroma is light, but has the gorgeous flavor of a daiginjo. The taste is very broad. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

It's refreshing and delicious! My favorite of the three 🦀.

Japanese>English

This is the second in a series of ordered alcoholic beverages. I drank it to study it, as it is another brand of Kubiki Shuzo from the Koshiji-no-Kenbai series. What a surprise! This is delicious! It is very tasty. It is the cheapest grade in the Kubiki series, but it was extremely refreshing, with a nice aroma and a smooth taste. I brought it with me on a camping trip and drank it all by myself within a few hours. I'll have to repeat this. I'll have to buy a bottle. If I can get to Niigata, that is.

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.

Japanese>English

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.

Japanese>English

Nanamizu FOUR-SEASONS WINTER (Activated Nigori Nama Shu) 1800ml Rice used: Yumesasara 100% (unmatched rice) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 16%. 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.

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.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice: Gohyakumangoku 76% Yamada Nishiki 24%, polishing rate: 35%, alc.: 16% Sweet aroma of ripe bananas. Flavor is juicy and sweet. Sweetness is balanced with gentle acidity. Sake is elegant and clean, it almost feels like water from a spring. Finish is lingering in mounth for quite a while.

It's the first time to drink this alcohol❗️. The aroma is a hint of banana🍌 The taste is quite sweet☺️. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be great for you.

The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some. The rice is said to be modified Nobukou. Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake. The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side. If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high. It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.

Japanese>English

Toyoake in Satte, Saitama Prefecture. When I tasted it last week at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe, I felt its obvious individuality and immediately bought a 4-goupe bottle because I wanted to drink it at home. It is a fire-aged junmai sake with a slightly sweet, dark flavor and a modern acidity. It has character. The subtitle and the message on the back label are also good. The waka poem written on the box? on the box is also nice. The slight coloring is due to the limited amount of charcoal used in the filtration process.

Japanese>English

Fresh sake with standing acidity and fruity taste. It has the complexity of nigori, but could use a little more refinement. It is still delicious, but there is still room for improvement.

What is this? It's so good! I am already a little drunk. I heard it is called "Kinshi Seiten". It is a sake from Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture. I learned about it from a review by Sake-no-wa. When I looked at the fridge at the store, I thought, "Hmm...? Difficult kanji! This is a bit of a surprise..." I checked the note on my phone. Bingo! I was surprised to find it suddenly. It was recommended to drink it on the rocks. I bought ice at Lawson. Everything is ready. First, I drank it straight. Oh~~ It's so smooth and thick. It is thick. Sweet. Sweet and sour. It seems to be similar to Tamagawa and Okura. And it rocks. Naruheso! It is outstandingly delicious! This is good~! It has become a summer sake all at once. I drank it in gulps. It is a very satisfying bottle.

Japanese>English

It has a gorgeous daiginjo-like aroma! The taste is also gorgeous with a clean aftertaste. ☺️ Morinori is delicious after all! The best part is that 750ml is 1600 yen even though it is a Daiginjo! It was the best cost performance!

Japanese>English

I found a quirky bottle in a store, so I bought it following the lead of my perverted spirit. The name of the bottle was "Kinshi Seiten. There are a lot of mysteries about it, including the brand name, but after finding the brewery's website, I found out that it was an active nigori. I drank it without much expectation, What is this? It's so delicious. It is one of the best sake I have had this season. I think the key to its flavor is its slightly sweet and well-balanced taste. The retro-inspired label and the old-fashioned description are also a favorite of me and the military police who live inside me. The taste has not changed at all after 3 days. It's brilliant! I can only say. I don't know when I will be able to find it again, I would like to buy it again 10/10 even through the mail-order.

Macho shocked me before...this time, I didn't expect much since it was fire-aged and not a draft 🍶...but when I opened the bottle: .... Pssh! Wow...the aroma of rich Yamadanishiki rice with 80% polished rice...the mouthfeel is sweet but thick... This is a very rich wine! The flavor is also very macho...definitely overpriced...this is delicious...I want to drink it again...it's not a trendy sake right now, but it's good...this is good...

Japanese>English

I had been wanting to drink this for a long time and got a bottle of "Ousai Macho" from Makino Shuzo.... I'm also interested in the other macho series...I'm sipping it with cod roe tempura and black shrimp tempura...I think it goes well with strong-flavored snacks and dishes. I can't stop drinking sake because of these Junmai encounters!

Japanese>English

(Holly **P🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we had our first large sake cup 😄 Macho, Junmai, Aaiyama I'm so happy to be able to drink it! The rice is low milled but clear in color. The aroma is slightly banana🍌? When you drink it, you can feel a slight gasiness? It is a bit peculiar but the umami is very good. It is a little bit peculiar, but the umami is very good.

After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

Japanese>English

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Japanese>English

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️

Sake from the breweries of Chojamori and Koshino-Kanchubai. I had been interested in this sake for a long time, but I bought it because it was on special price and there was a draft. According to the Internet, the rice is Koshitanrei. I've seen the hi-ire version but only at Ito-Yokado 🤔. I heard it was developed in collaboration with Takaoka National College of Technology, and the 888th sake out of 1200 test brews was so good that they decided to commercialize it. Sourness like wine. It has sweetness but it's not like sake. As the description says, I would like to match it with meat and cheese.

Japanese>English

It's a good mix between Sauvignon Blanc (white wine) and pure rice wine (laughs). They say it's a limited edition product and is sold at Ito Yokado.

Japanese>English

Wine-like. Strong habit.
