Smells like pear with a hint of alcohol. Sweet! The sweetness reminds me of sugar. When swallowing, there is a fluffy flavor reminiscent of rice, and there is also a taste of fruit juice, but the sweetness stands out. There is a carbonation feeling. I want to drink it again tomorrow. It is sweet. The second day. Slightly carbonated. The second day is easier to drink.

(* '☆')☆🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had our first Kawanakajima today 😀. The aroma is a little bit of rice flavor 😊The taste in the mouth is light and a little bit dry 😚The mild umami spreads slowly and then it cuts through quickly 🥰. It's a sake that seems to go well with all kinds of meals 🥳.

( *^艸^)🍶🍶🍶🍶 It's been so long since I've had Kawanakajima Genmai that I don't know how many years it's been since I've had it 😋. The aroma is gentle yet elegant 😊The palate has a gentle rice flavor with a very clean and crisp finish 😚👍. It's really easy to drink and a delicious sake that goes well with food 🥳✨.

Smell thin. In the mouth it has fine bubbles and a fresh mouthfeel. Refreshing. The taste is very good 😋 and the mouthfeel is very smooth and the flavor goes right through. The edamame I happen to be eating is so good 🫘🥜. Easy to drink, will buy again㊗️.

Then we have the Jun Dai on the left side. This one has a nice fluffy ginjo aroma, as is typical of jun-dai. The mouthfeel is light and sweet, and the acidity changes to a nice sourness in the mouth. It's kind of elegant! Thank you for the sake!

Next is Golden Crane When I ask the locals on Sado Island what sake they drink, almost everyone answers, "Kintsuru. Almost all of them answer, "Kintsuru. It is the most major sake on Sado Island. Light and dry! Shakiness that is a model of Niigata sake. What is noteworthy is its transparency! There is no unpleasant feeling of brewing alcohol, so it is so easy to drink that it is almost like water. It is so easy to drink that it almost feels like water. It is a delicious and scary yuzu. Thank you very much!

(*´ω*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I bought this sake because it is made from Koshihikari 🙋The rice taste is perfect and the aroma is good 😀 It is a more royal strong style sake than nowadays 😀.

Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it. I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it. I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏. I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆. It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa. As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.

Birthday gift sake No. 3 Speaking of comets, Ricaman is a liquor that I don't get a chance to drink very often because I don't go to Ricaman. It has a mild top-fragrance aroma. It is gorgeous and refreshingly sweet on the palate. It is a versatile type of sake that can be enjoyed with food or on its own. For better or worse, it is an excellent Daiginjo. I think it tastes more open and sweeter on the second day than when it is freshly opened. The design of the sake lid looks just like the one from a while ago😅.

Today I chose sushi, sashimi and comet in the aftermath of yesterday's birthday, and since my son and wife went to bed, I had a luxurious dinner by myself😘. The comet I bought for comparison last time was so good that I bought two bottles for comparison this time too 🤣👍. Tomorrow I'm going to go to Gifu and buy Yamamoto Do, which I've longed for. ‼️ I've been looking for it for about three years now, but when I find a store that carries it, it's always sold out, so I'll make sure to get it this year 🥺. So let's open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and juicy with almost no bitterness or acidity.

At home. Nara Sake without permission, 12th stage ~‼️ Kubo Honke, a long-established sake brewery in Uda City, Nara Prefecture ~ ‼️ Hatsukasumi and this Soriryu are famous brands. The baseball club team that my sons took care of when they were in junior high school was located in Uda, and this is a nostalgic place where we used to go every weekend. We used to pass by the brewery we visited this time, but this is the first time we visited there. It is called "Sake Brewery Street," but it is really a quiet street. And the taste of the sake.... There is not much aroma, and although you can feel the alcohol in your mouth, the dryness is not so high and the sake is easy to drink. I imagined it would be a dry sake for the experts because it is from a long-established sake brewery, but to my surprise, it is moderately drunk and has a refreshing taste. It is not flashy, but it is a good sake. ‼️

It's been a while since I had my first Suiroku Miyamanishiki sake. The aroma is not that great, but when you put it in your mouth you think it's sweet and refreshing. I opened it when I was drunk 😅. I'll taste it again tomorrow 😝😝 I've had it for a day and it's sweet and spicy. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's good. but it's delicious😋.

Freshly brewed with Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be good. The color is milky white. The smell is mild, with a hint of flowers. The taste is fruity, but not too sweet. It has a nice umami taste with a slight sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste. You can feel the alcohol quite a bit, it's 17 degrees, so it's thick. It is easy to drink on the rocks with ice. I think it tastes better if you drink it this way. It has a refreshing, dry, gassy flavor that pairs well with 🍖 meat dishes and Chinese and other oily dishes 😋~.

 ̄∇ ̄* Isuzu🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is a sake from our neighboring prefecture of Toyama✨. The aroma is quite mild, but when you put it in your mouth, the acidity comes from the soft rice flavor, and then it quickly kicks in, like a well-balanced and delicious sake😊.

The aroma is subdued. ❗️ The taste is very umami 👍. The aftertaste is clean and you won't get tired of drinking it. It's a sake that you can keep drinking 😅. It's not a modern taste, but it's a perfect food sake type 😅❗️ I paired it with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto. It went great with my favorite mackerel sushi from Kyoto 👍. No wonder it is popular in restaurants in Tokyo these days. ❗️

A friend of mine said that if he had come all the way to Toyama, he would have had a variety of both Katsikoma and Haneya, but Hayashi had never had them. We compared two types of sake rice, Gohyakumangoku and Dewanosato. Both were to his liking, but the Dewa-no-sato was more acidic and better. I recommended it to him and told him that Koyama Shoten also sold it 😄.

I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️. This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️. I'm not sure what to make of it. I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆. I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰 I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )

Lightly nigori sounds good✨. But surprise, surprise! It's slightly spicy, yellowish, dry, and richly dark😳! This brewery, Okura in Nara, has a unique personality🎵.

I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record. Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout. It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature. The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.

Next, Niigata sake. In the mouth? Huh? Is it a smooth type? Is it a feeling that the flavor deepens after you gulp it down? Languaging...difficult...😓.
