The initial aroma is fruity 🍎. The palate has a full-bodied sweetness from the rice and a good acidity. Aomori-style sake with a nice sharpness.

Japanese>English

I found my favorite Satochi at an Izakaya and couldn't resist ordering it😍. The smell of pears. It smells so good. It has a caramel-like sweetness and then a light sourness. After that, the bitterness comes through quickly. It's a beautiful sake. It's really delicious. It's been a long time since I've had it😊. The taste itself is refreshing, but even with a strong oily taste like mackerel, there is a flavor that somehow does not lose at all ️.

Yamada Nishiki. A pleasantly mild spiciness with a sharp umami flavor...!

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

Japanese>English

Sake rice is Kinmon-nishiki Very smooth and light. A little bitterness in the aftertaste, but nothing peculiar.

Namo yeast, Junmai ...... Whoa! Sweet! Nice! It has a clean aftertaste and can be recommended to light drinkers, which belies the ruggedness of the label.

Tonight, our first in the series, Aizu Otokoyama Kai from Fukushima Aizu ✨. First of all, the specs are 100% Fukunoka with Jungin polish and 16% alcohol. The aroma is clear with a hint of pineapple and a mojito-like flavor in the second half. The attack is soft and sweet just like the aroma, but soon the acidity and bitterness overtake it and it has a nice crisp finish 👍 It is perfect as a mealtime drink and is very easy to drink without feeling too much alcohol 😋.

Japanese>English

Otokoyama Brewery is located in Aizumisato-cho, Onuma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, which is different from Kaito Otokoyama. The brewery was dormant for a while, but has restarted again. It is a fresh, raw ogara-mi sake. It is slightly carbonated and tastes great with the bitterness of the oli.

Japanese>English

Aizu Otokoyama INOMATA65, autumn rise. Orthodox but slightly fruity. It is delicious and does not have the strange feeling of old-fashioned sake lingering on the tongue. This is a repeat sake.

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.

Japanese>English

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 😌.

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.

Dry Junmai. Slightly sweet aroma. Dry taste. It leaves a lingering aftertaste.

Japanese>English

new engi Muscat aroma. Slightly effervescent. Not too sweet, juicy and refreshing. Slightly bitter. Delicious and quite beautiful. (7) means the rice polishing ratio is in the 70% range, and there are also (6) and (5). Purchase at the sake brewery. Near Shibu Onsen (hot spring). When I visited 2 years ago, there was not much sake available, but now that a new brand has been introduced, there is a good selection.

The word "rainbow" refers to the rainbow seen in a clear sky after a rainfall. The word "Hakusame" is a cross between the word "Thank you" and the word "Shiranui," which has a similar meaning and is intended to express gratitude. Hakusame" is a junmai sake brewed in the village of Dewanosato, and has a refreshingly dry taste with a subdued aroma. Serve with grilled miso nigiri. Calming taste.

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

Sake received at the Sake World Summit. This sake is brewed with Ginbukiyo sake produced in Shiga Prefecture. The acidity and umami of the sake are well intertwined with each other. It was a delicious sake. It is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink. My wine-loving friend who accompanied me also accepted the taste of this sake made from the sake's "nama-hashiroshi" (sake brewed from the same yeast as the original yeast).

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉔ Ichihoro is the first sake I've had in three years. I have a strong impression of light nigori raw sake. I drank Junmai light nigori nama-zake (raw sake) Impressive acidity and drinkability typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast 🤔. Junmai light nigori nama sake I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever. I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.

Japanese>English

Purchased 👀 at Sazanami Sake Shop in front of the station during a day trip to Hikone. Beautiful, corner space and friendly staff. It was a nice store 😙. Since I was there, I chose Kazuhiro, a sake I had never had before from Shiga. It was full, slightly sweet, had a delicious rice flavor, and was very drinkable 😋. Paired with sweet ayu fish from Lake Biwa, it was delicious. ❤️ It is indeed a sake from Shiga, a rice-producing region 😇

#OsakaUmeda# I have an important meeting, I arrived in Osaka. Actually, I arrived early, I went to Yodobashi Camera in front of the hotel 😆. I had this before the meeting. Sweet and sticky 🐴.... I think I like it a lot 😁.... I don't know what throat black is 🧐🧐. This laid back feeling is hard to find 😭.

Japanese>English

I found Hiyayogoshi at the liquor store in the supermarket where I went to buy food. I bought it without a second thought😅. It is dry but you can taste the umami of the rice. It's delicious in its own way, but my palate is craving for something more refreshing 😅.

Japanese>English

The aroma has a hint of nuttiness and grain sweetness behind the steam. When poured warmed, it has a faint golden hue. In the mouth, it has the thickness that only unfiltered sake can have, yet it has a gentle umami flavor that spreads gradually without any cloying taste. The dry sharpness is pleasant, and the lingering aftertaste is quietly sweet and full of rice.
