This sake was drunk during the Chou-you Festival. It has a clear aroma rather than a fruity aroma? It's a good sake with a delicious rice flavor and a refreshing aftertaste.

Fruity aroma, sweet sip, no, this is one of my favorite things to drink. This is my first time drinking this wine, but I feel a connection with it... I'd like to try the other sake from Yoshida Shuzo too!

The balance shines through. The impression is that sweetness, sourness, umami, and bitterness come together just right. It's lightly sipped, and it's good for sipping sake. I could drink this drink on its own for a long time! When it's freshly opened and cold, it has a watery, clear taste. It also has a slight spicy taste. I often think recently that the way you feel it changes depending on the temperature range is one of the interesting and difficult aspects of sake. Compared to the same junmai ginjo sake (Ryosuka), the acidity is more subdued and the taste is more pronounced. On the third day after opening it, I felt the flavors opened up and the gentle sweetness and umami reached its peak! It's very tasty.

Second stop on the Takayama sake brewery tour. We visited Funasaka Sake Brewery. As usual, the tasting machine took care of us. I chose a junmai ginjo that seemed to suit me from the description. It was described as sweet, but I got the impression that it was medium sweet with no fruity taste. I wonder if it would be a sweet sake in this brewery's lineup? It tasted crisp.

When it's not too cold, it's mildly sweet and lightly pungent. The aftertaste is short and crisp. When it's cold, the spiciness comes out.

This Sake has a full mouth feel and some sweetness at the beginning. The flavor of this Sake is bigger than other Seitoku Sake but it still has good balance. Very good with big flavor foods like mapo tofu.
This Sake has an initial sweetness and a full mouth feel. There is a hint of cedar as the alcohol clears my pallet. Very good with big flavor foods like yakiniku. Seitoku has many Sake that I enjoy.
This Sake is light, refreshing and easy to drink. I am revisiting this Sake because it has been a while since I last drank it. I enjoy the mild flavors of apple and melon with a clean, short aftertaste. This is a refreshing and well balanced Sake.

Oh, I want to drink Hama Musume.... Apparently, one out of every three people in Iwate Prefecture has this urge. This is the Iwate-only junmai sake that I keep buying on repeat. A privilege of Iwate residents. **:. o(≧▽≦)o . . :**

Iwate Prefecture limited, on sale on 25th Koch wins for the opening sound: ❣️ I think the freshness is also Kochi's. ☺️ I think it has more sweetness than fire-roasted.

I bought it at Aeon while I went to see a movie today. It's the first time for me to drink it. This is 900ml, isn't it? I thought the shape of the bottle was different. The taste is quite strong, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I think it's a delicious sake ☺️. It's good even if it's heated up☺️.

We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club! Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆. The 4th glass! Koshino-Hachiho Junmai Sake This is also a brand new to me! It is a light and dry sake with the main flavor of rice. It is a typical food sake that does not interfere with the taste of the meal.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑭ Echigo Hachiho has recently become a common sight at events. The limited-edition Junmai sake It was recommended as a slightly dry sake, but it had a Sake meter rating of +5, which made it seem even spicier than it was. ◯Limited limited stock-out Junmai Harushibori-junmai It was a bit gorgeous and refreshing, but later it became a bit spicy. ◯Okirigarami It was quite clear, gentle and powdery. It was my favorite type in this booth. (I forgot to take a picture... the sake subtly reflected next to the spring Shibori)

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 😋.

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.

Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ⑫ I tasted the wine after hearing from Mr. Bouken that it was an image of matured sake. Shichiroubei Junmai Nigori Sake I was already drunk, and the aroma was a bit creamy and matured. I only wrote down "what a taste. I thought it was not my favorite... I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from bouken🙇.

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❣️.

Unfiltered raw sake & Asahi rice for 2,530 yen including tax is a super deal ‼️ It is not so fresh, but has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight sense of maturity. The rich umami comes in smoothly, and the finish is crisp and tight. It has a good balance of bitterness, bitterness, and sweetness, and is the type of sake that one does not get tired of drinking as an unfiltered, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a good sake to drink with food or as an evening drink. ❗️ It was delicious. ❣️

It tastes a little bit like aged, but it has all the sweetness, flavor, bitterness, and spiciness you would expect. It tastes like tea. It tastes like apple tea. It is a slightly different type of flavor. It tastes juicy, sweet and spicy. Some people may find it spicy, but it's a subtle taste.
