Bought it for a moment with Rusty Cat Rock. Also got Funaguchi Smoked incense! It has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a sweetness with a tangy flavor and a spiciness that is very strong. Much tastier than I expected.

It was given to me by my brother back home. Vegetables as well. Deep fried and soaked. For the main dish, I served a bonito tataki with a mountain of myoga (Japanese ginger). Today's dish is from the Niigata series. The dry sake went well with it.

Niigata Souvenirs Part 2 The last one was a gift from Kimi no Ii, along with the Yukinaka Ume. Seasonal summer sake ☀️ It was hot yesterday, so I chilled it to the perfect temperature before serving. It was so hot yesterday, so I chilled it and enjoyed it! It has almost no aroma and a smooth taste. The aftertaste is a little bit peculiar. but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. It is very easy to drink! It was delicious 😄.

I bought it at a product show the other day. I had never heard of this brand, but I tasted it and liked it. It was 19 degrees, so I drank it lightly on the rocks. I paired it with stewed daikon radish and shellfish sashimi as the cold weather deepened. It was moderately dry and went well with sashimi.

Outside Drinking. Sake and Nishi Park" held in Sendai. It was raining ☔️ and I was holding an umbrella, so I finally forgot to take a picture ❗️ regrettably 😂. I borrowed it from the brewery's website instead 😆. Here is the sake. The type is more than old sake. It has been aged for 2 years, so it is still on its way up. The color is of course amber. The taste is heavy with the umami of the rice and the maturity of the sake. The aroma is thick, and the overall feeling is that it comes with a thud. It is relatively easy to drink, perhaps because it has been aged for only a short time. Juku sake seems to warm you up.

This is the first time I have tasted this brand. The sweet aroma and flavor are supported by a moderate acidity and astringency. 17° concentration makes for a strong drinking experience. The aftertaste is gentle and lingers for a long time. Since this sake is so assertive on its own, it would be good to have something to snack on, such as salted rice kelp.

The atmosphere of the label makes you think it is a dry food sake, but it is sweet and fruity. Not a sticky sweetness, but a glossy sweetness with a clean aftertaste. It is delicious. 4.0

I bought a small bottle of Kikusui Shuzo at a nearby convenience store 🥂. It was labeled as a ginjo-shu, but the aroma was subdued and it was a delicious regular sake with just the right amount of umami 😋.

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

It is not sake, This was delicious. ‼️ It is a blend of Kasagi's yuzu juice and "Onnajojo" ginjo sake. It is so thick and sweet that you would think it was juice, but you don't feel much alcohol. It has a nice aroma and the bitterness of the yuzu makes it refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad!

Purchased at Yamasho in JR Ashiya station. I mentioned before that this liquor store is based in northern Kyoto and has a wide selection of sake from the Tango area, but they also have Kumi no Ura. It is rather sweet. Muscat and lychee-like flavor. It is fire-brewed but fresh. I'd like to try some of their fresh sake. I'm sure it would be delicious. According to the internet, it's unfiltered raw sake. It's true that it's on the lees for a fire-brewed sake. Sediment is noticeable.

It is clear with greenish tints and has aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with a refreshing acidity, a mild sweetness, and a rather long finish.

It has a clear, mellow, and smooth taste reminiscent of 🍎. When chilled, it has a refreshing acidity, and at room temperature it is a deliciously sweet 🍎 taste. It has a refined taste that sinks in easily.

A series of pioneering local dry junmai sake 💪. First bottle 🍶. The one from my hometown. High aroma, dry with a lot of acidity. The blue label junmai ginjo was fruity, but this one is something else. But this one is just as good. 300ml, about 550 yen (?) without tax
