I received it as a gift.

This is the last of the sake purchased at the Nagoya liquor store. Rice used is Yumesansui Beautiful smooth sweetness and moderate bitterness and spiciness. It has a little heaviness, but it is a well-balanced sake ❗️. Not bad❣️

It was given to me as a gift in the middle of the year. It is a little old, but I don't mind it. I think it looks better warmed than chilled.

When I went to Kobe Kita Aeon today, Daimon Shuzo was there. I heard that it was brewed with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone), so I decided to try it. This is my second sake from Osaka. My favorite robust dry sake. It is delicious.

Rikyubai Summer Ginjo Junmai Ginjo Namaishu I think it was light and refreshing, just like summer sake. Yes, it's almost time to forget about it.

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

🍶 The ultimate food wine! Goes well with fish, liver and tempura! It washes away the fishy smell and brings out the flavor It doesn't interfere with the meal at all! No distinctive aroma, but the overall balance of the sake is divine! So this is what I mean by "food sake"! I'm sad I finished it 😢. I want to drink it in a perfect setting.

This sake was officially released on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. It is brewed using 100% Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Niigata Prefecture. The aroma, taste, and label design are as stylish as wine. I had it with cheese and loved the sweetness that spread in my mouth. I love it 😉 . It is indeed a sake chosen by Mr. B who has good taste!

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Japanese>English

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

The first Toyoshu in a long time is a pure rice sake brewed with the Yamanokami yeast derived from sasayuri (a kind of lily of the valley) that blooms in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine, a sacred place for sake. If you are a sake drinker in Nara, you must try this 😁. Perhaps it was because I was used to light and fruity junmai sake, but it was alcoholic, not too sweet, and had a firm mouthfeel. But it has a modern feel and is easy to drink. Yamano kami yeast was surprisingly not peculiar 🤔. Thank you for the food 🙏. I think I'll go visit Ookami shrine ⛩ again.

It's finally New Year's Eve! For the first time this year, I was able to participate in "Sake-no-Wa" and it was fun and I learned a lot. Thank you very much😊. Now, we are having a limited edition sake that was just pressed this morning. Fresh, crisp, umami, delicious! It's going to be a good New Year's Eve 😋.

Is this the first Aizan for this brand? The sweet flavor is sustained from the first sip.

This is my first visit to Kikusen. This is a sake from Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture🍶. This is a sake from Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, it has a mildly smooth sweet umami flavor with a slight acidity. It is more robust than Isojumma from the neighboring city of Yaizu, but it too is a mellow sake. It was delicious 🍶✨.

Drinking with my wife on our wedding anniversary last week, when we visited Tsushima Tsuru at the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing (laughs). Next up was a Hiyoroshi (Hiyori) Junmai Harazake by Drunken Sen. It's a refreshingly dry sake. The description says to enjoy the mellow flavor, but that's just my personal opinion... (^_^;) Good with sashimi! It was delicious! (^○^)

Japanese>English

I tried three types of draft sake at a tasting and sale of Drunken Sen in Hankyu. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, the Honjozo Nama, even though I searched for it. I couldn't find a picture of the first one I drank, but I guess it was because it wasn't winter time and there was no snow. I was told that this was a matured nama sake. It was delicious, with a beautiful, round taste. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the last one I tasted was a fruity special junmai, so I went for that one.

Japanese>English

Tasted and purchased at Umeda Hankyu. Sake from the Drunken Sake Brewery. It seems to be a terroir-like sake. It is delicious with a little bit of gasiness and both fruity and rice flavor. Once the gas disappears, the fruity taste disappears and the umami flavor takes center stage. I don't feel much spiciness. I wasn't sure whether to register it as Tagata, but the cap was Drunken Sen, so I registered it as Drunken Sen.
