@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.

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. ❣️

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.

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 😆.

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

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. ☺️

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...

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!

(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.

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.

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.

[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 😆.

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 🤗.

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.

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.

CWS. I've been interested in Shiro-Ko for a while, so I bought it at Edion along with the Tazake zodiac label. Low alcohol. The aroma has a strong alcohol smell. Slightly effervescent and gentle on the palate. Slightly sweet and slightly sour. Mineral taste. It disappears and disappears quickly. As it says, you can drink it forever.

The sake was made by aging sake for 238 days in wine barrels that were used to age Merlot at Shinshu Takayama Winery (Nagano Prefecture). It was an easy to drink sake with a sweet and light flavor. I opened it right away. 2530 yen.
