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.

Refreshing aroma, clean taste. No aftertaste and delicious.

Japanese>English

This Sake has a nice medium mouth feel and acidity to give a clean finish. The flavor reminds me of dried apricot with the sweetness of pear. The flavors feel rich and colorful.

At room temperature. The ginjo aroma has a slight apple, apricot, and hay aroma. It has a ginjo aroma with a hint of apple, apricot, and hay, and goes down the throat easily with a soft mouthfeel. It has a slight sweetness and bitterness, a light, clear acidity, followed by umami and full-bodied flavor. It has a gentle taste with a subdued aroma, somewhere between modern and classic. A light and refreshing aftertaste due to the effect of the alsobe and acidity. The calm taste that accompanies food gently makes you feel relaxed 😌.

Oniyasha Centrifuged Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake. It is a delicious sake with a creamy mouthfeel and a bitter taste that comes after the umami and goes down the throat. I think it's a slightly dry nigorizake. It's delicious 😋The label has a picture of the top and bottom. The direction of the label is reversed from the normal Oniyasha label.

Centrifugal separation, but nigori? There is no graininess at all. It is rather dry but with a very strong flavor. When heated up, it becomes more refreshing and easy to drink.

Cool. This label. I have never seen this in Osaka. It is so-called "aluzoe. The impression is that you can feel the presence of rice in the beginning, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. Oh, I want to eat sushi!

Japanese>English

My brother went to a sake event in Niigata, He found a sake that he liked and shared it with me. With all due respect, I had never heard of this brand. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was unassertive. When you drink it, it is sweet but well balanced, It is not too sweet, but has a sharp taste and disappears quickly. It is delicious, and at 17%, it is very drinkable. It is easy to drink with meals.

Brewed by Oomon Shuzo in Shinbonda, Niigata Oomon Yume Junmai Ginjo When I drank it In the blink of an eye The mouth is quickly filled with water, Then, in the blink of an eye, the sweetness and umami sweetness and umami spread throughout the throat in the blink of an eye.

Shizen Hometown Refreshing Refreshing, refreshing, and delicious. This may be the best sake I have ever tasted. Pleasant sweetness with a rummy feel. There is a slight alkalinity in the latter half, but it disappears nicely in the end. It is not flashy, but it has a moderate sweetness and calmness, and is easy to drink. It is easy to drink. I thought it was a sake I would like to keep on hand.

This year, it has been upgraded to unfiltered raw sake This year, it seems to have been upgraded.

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

Aroma of fruits, flowers and alcohol, freshly cooked rice

Japanese>English

This is one of the "unique local sakes" selected by a liquor store in Shirakawa, Fukushima. The name "Gomangoku" is similar to the name of sake rice, but it was named after the Miharu domain in Oshu, which was once known for its Gomangoku rice! The first sip has a subdued aroma with a good balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami, and the taste continues to the end and is easily cut off. I thought this kind of sake would be loved for a long time to come. The simple purple and gold label is also very nice. ❣️

At Izakaya It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and is fruity. It has a nice lingering finish with just the right amount of umami and acidity. Rice: Hitomebore produced in Gunma Prefecture

Japanese>English

The rice polishing ratio is 35% following the previous 50%. This sake is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the brewer's hometown. It is sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness. My favorite type. It's good, I want to drink it again.

Japanese>English

This is the second of two bottles of Kantou no Hana (Kanto no Hana), Junmai Daiginjo, purchased at the direct sales store of Sei Shuzo where we stopped on our way back home. The label is the same as the first bottle of Junmai-Daiginjo-Active Sake, with three-dimensional foil-stamped letters on a raised surface. As the label on the back of the bottle says, this nama-zake seemed to be a limited edition for direct retailers. As soon as the bottle is uncorked, it has a sweet and fruity aroma. When poured into a glass, the color is pale yellow. As is typical of nama-shu, tiny air bubbles drifted in the air, giving the impression of freshness even visually. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma. From the aroma, I imagined a modern taste, but when I drank it, I was surprised to find that it also has a classical flavor. It has a strong umami flavor with a mild acidity, so it does not feel heavy. The classical sake character seems to come solely from the crisp alcohol taste. The bitterness and astringency are kept in check, and the lingering aftertaste is faint and fades away due to the clear flavor with little clutter that only a daiginjo can offer. Like the Junmai Ginjo Activated Sake, this Junmai Daiginjo is a sake with a wide range of characteristics. It was a bottle that made me suddenly interested in other sake made by Seishuzo.

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.
