(*´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 😀.

Japanese>English

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 👍

Japanese>English

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.

It is a sake named after a place in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, where Chiyo Sake Brewery is located. Like Kushira, Gosho is a town with many difficult-to-read place names. For example, Bunze, Iuka, and Saragi. Gosho is a nice and peaceful place nestled in the bosom of the Katsuragi and Kongo mountains. Aburanaga-san of Kaze no Mori is also a sake brewer in Gosho. I guess it's a good place for sake brewing😋. It's been a while since I've had a Kushira, but it's dry and full of rice flavor. It's delicious 😆. I would like everyone to try it along with Chiyo's other brand "Shinomine" 👍.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've chosen Kushira. Delicious 😋

Japanese>English

Shinomine's terroir brand Kushira✨. I bought two kinds of Shinomine's summer sake, so I have no choice but to give you a first look🤣. The aroma is slightly sweet. The aroma is slightly sweet, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a delicious taste of rice and then it snaps! It's also got a good amount of gas, which adds to the sharpness😆. It's an unfiltered unpasteurized sake, but it's quite light✨. I think it's a great food sake that goes well with any Japanese, Western, or Chinese food✨.

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.

Japanese>English

(* '☆')☆🍶🍶🍶🍶 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 🥳.

Japanese>English

( *^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 🥳✨.

I have some pics... but I think I probably drank a little... There were about 4 that I didn't take note of my impressions (¡-ᴗ-;ก)

Memorandum for Tuesday, May 23 (2) 🍶. A gift from a colleague in Iwate - ⤴️✨ He said it was sake from near his parents' house in Yamagata 😊. We all enjoyed it together, We enjoyed it very much(^-^)/.

It's a nice day 🌈 Now, I was expecting a fluchy since it was described as delicious in a glass of wine.... I guess it's not, it's more like slightly dry and tasty 😋. And very fresh 🎉. and the aroma and flavor of rice 🎉. I thought it would go well with any dish, Japanese or Western 👍✨.

Today I am Beian Daikoku Anniversary😇. This sake is a project with Hata Sake Shop and the sake brewery 😀. I saw the brewery's installment and even though I didn't know which brewer's sake it was, I pre-ordered it 🤣. Rafa papa has already written about the detailed taste, so I'll skip it, but anyway, it was a very round sake with no curd at all😇. I guess when you let it sit in the snow slowly, it becomes such a round and beautiful sake😇. It was delicious 😀.

Japanese>English

I've been curious about this for a while, but this is my first time in Beian Daikoku. The rice is Hitogokochi, though it is not written on the label. Juicy sweet flavor. It is juicy, sweet, and delicious. It is fruity but not too fruity. It is not flashy, but it has a gentle taste that you will not get tired of drinking. It is said to be -9 in Sake meter, but if that is the case, it must be spicy. I think it tastes sweeter and stronger after a few days.

Japanese>English

"The new label on the hammer is also a good omen! May good things come to you!" I've been looking forward to the Hokuyasu Taikoku. It was my first time drinking this brand. The rice used is Hitogochi. The rice polishing rate is 59%. The number 9 at the end is a unique Nagano style! Not much aroma, but refreshing. A little effervescence. The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is very good. The taste is a bit monotonous, but it's not half bad! The taste is a bit monotonous, but the flavor is amazing! It's a taste I haven't experienced before. I think it's a well-balanced sake in every respect.

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. ‼️

🐈🐾 I've been wondering about this for a while now. A light, cloudy shwash. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. Refreshing and delicious. ❣️ I can see why it's so popular (*˘˘*). I love it! :*♡♡

I bought this sake on my Nagano expedition! I was curious about it because of your post. But there is no special distributor in my neighborhood 😭. As per the rumors? Just as you posted! I'm so glad I bought it! And it's cloudy. It has a hint of acidity (I think?) It has a hint of acidity (or so I thought) and is refreshing! （I thought so.) I'll have to go to a distributor next time.

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.

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😋.

Japanese>English

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 😋~.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we will finally enjoy a very tasty "Shiuchu" and another brand "Hiroki" spring sake from the same brewery 🤗. This is the first time I've heard of a brewing method called "sanki amazakamoto". It is said to be a technique to bring out the flavor of the rice. The aroma and taste are gentle and slightly lactic, but there is none of the wildness of the traditional sake, and the sweetness and umami of the rice spreads throughout the mouth, making it easy to drink and delicious 😋😋😋😋😋. This brewery is of a very high level, including Purple Space👍.
