I drank it cold. It was sharp and slightly dry. It was delicious.

Japanese>English

It is dark and shows a strong presence. It is a delicious sake. I hope the whole country will know about it.

Japanese>English

Sake from Aichi Prefecture, which was procured at a sake festival. We had it warmed up. It is a robust, mature sake with a strong acidity. It has a strong acidity, and even when it is heated up, it still retains its tanginess. I paired it with a pork and Chinese cabbage hot pot, but it won out. ★★★★

It is a light amber Junmai-shu brewed with the fantastic sake rice "Kinmon Nishiki". The aroma is cemedine...sweet and bitter with a hint of bitterness! It's dry, so it goes well with thickly seasoned food. For beginners, it is not recommended...? I've been drinking it with bonito sashimi with silver skin...

Japanese>English

This is my first brand. I didn't expect much, but it was delicious and a pleasant miscalculation. The acidity is delicious. It is easy to drink. It is like a summer sake. It has a long aftertaste. It was a hit.

Japanese>English

Zankuro Kinmon-Nishiki Kunoichi Junmai Namaishu Rated 4.4 Rice used: Kinmon-Nishiki, Polishing ratio: 91%, Yeast: No. 10 Focusing on "harmony between the original flavor of the rice and the cut," it expresses the presence and crispness of the rice due to the 91% rice polishing ratio. It can be served cold or warmed. Bottled March 2024, shipped from the brewery August 2025. Touch soft rice flavor after a year and a half of layering. Convergence is a reasonably sharp mid-meal sake with a sense of outline.

This is my first Kikumori. It's smooth and less acidic, which is good to pair with sashimi or other fish cuisine.

Last weekend's work was trouble-free 🔚. It has been a long time since I have worked long hours, and I am tired, but I want to say "thank you" to myself for all the hard work I have done, so let's drink a glass of wine 🍶. The "𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai" (𛀣Kyumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai) Sake made by Shinshu Meizou, which was formed through the merger of four separate breweries, and is a special sake for the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai. Besides "𛀣久盛", "瀧澤" and "鼎" which I drank the other day are also brewed at this brewery. ✨️ ［Glass.] Aroma of mellow apples with honey, a refreshing sweetness on the back side of a thick umami flavor, and a mineral aftertaste that lingers on the palate. ［Mokkiri.] A fruity aroma with a strong umami, soft umami, and a lingering aftertaste that is fresh and slightly sweet from the sharpness of the acidity. I wanted to eat meat, so I had roast beef from the basement and the usual fish shop's horse mackerel. After the night shift, I continued to work almost 24 hours a day, and the next day I worked long hours from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Moreover, I sweated a lot from carrying in, preparing, and taking down, and my body was craving salt. I survived the summer again this year, and this weekend I am going to "Summer Fun" 💃.

Kikumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. From the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai comes Kikumori from Shinshu Meizo. Shinshu Meizou, which has a brewery in the Ueda area, exhibits a freshly stored sake that has been aged in a thermal tank for two years at ice temperature. It is a 100% Miyamanishiki Junmai Daiginjo, with a Sake degree of -2 degrees, an acidity of 1.6, and an alcohol content of 16 degrees, making it a dark, mellow, sweet sake. It has an aroma of muscat and apple on the nose and a mellow sweetness on the palate. The extremely mellow and soft mouthfeel, which has lost its angularity due to aging, even gives the impression of lusciousness. The rich umami flavor spreads out firmly, and it finishes smoothly with a beautiful acidity. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy an aged sake that has been stored in its raw state, and the flavor is perfectly balanced and delicious!

Rice used is unknown Pale gold color, but without much sense of maturity. Slightly light, with strong acidity. It is rather sweet. It has a sharp, clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it. The umami flavor also comes through with a zing, making it a deeply flavored sake. The 87th cup of sake

Next is Tamahagane. What a cool name! I'm attracted to names like that. Kamitachika has a robust sake feel. The mouthfeel It has a dense sweetness and umami, and a slow-moving sensation. The aftertaste is a bit of alcohol, and despite the heaviness of the initial attack, it finishes with a nice acidity and bitterness. I am not so good at Honjozo, but this was delicious! Thank you!

Japanese>English

It has a mild taste. The aftertaste is refreshing.

The first tamahagane with brewing alcohol, 16% alcohol by volume, dry but with a hint of sweetness, mellow and full-bodied.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

It's like water, clear and dry. No sweetness at all. No mercy!

I used to be a big fan of cold sake, but now the allure of room temperature sake is irresistible😍. I have always liked Takumi, but I thought it had a slightly off-flavored aroma...more like a smell. But I don't know if it's because it's at room temperature or because it's hiya oroshi, but it doesn't have that smell at all. It has a mellow taste. I am looking forward to seeing how it will change in the future😊.

Compared to the previous Takumi Daiginjo Almost the same feeling This one has It has some acidity and no spiciness. It has a very good mouthfeel, but it lacks a little impact. but it lacks a little impact. Reasonably priced! This place is really great! Alcohol 15%.

The fourth cup was "Asakayousei"! I was curious about this one, as I have only seen Shiga sake such as "Shichibonjari" and "Shoki Shoki". The aroma is apple-like. The mouthfeel is fresh, with a gaseous and hinted aroma that reminds me of a tank! The sweet and sour taste of green apple and the overflowing flavor is addictive ✨.

Japanese>English

Vigorous raw sake, strong and beautiful!

Japanese>English

Aromatic and slightly dry. It is not spectacular, but you can taste the umami of the rice. It is best paired with dishes with strong flavors, such as yakitori, teriyaki, and chicken nanban, rather than light dishes.

On Sunday, I visited the Taste of Morita Co. This is the family brewery of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony. I was attracted by the Aji no Yakata limited edition and bought a bottle. It tasted a little sweeter than I expected and was easier to drink than I expected. 1,650 yen

Japanese>English

(I was tired from eating too much rich food, so I decided to balance it out with some light sake, so I bought a bottle of Nenohi from Yamaya. Nenohi is thin, as was the case with the cup sake. The light flavor is clear but still has the presence of light flavor to make the most of it! Today, I overcame my fear of the new koro and went to a hot spring! The treasure of Amagasaki, Tsukiji Ebisu Spa is still wonderful! I got the locker number 17 and the BIGBOSS number 1! Then I went to Ohmononokunushi Shrine and wished to become a big shot! Then we went to the recently excavated Nozato no Yu! It was a light spring! After that, we went to Hashigawa Shrine along the Yodogawa River, which was also nice!

The ban on alcohol is lifted now that the exam is over! Light, refreshing, easy to drink.
