I told the owner of Jutoku Sake Sales Office what I liked and he recommended this sake. He said it was fruity and refreshing. It's definitely sweet, but not overpowering. It was my first time to try green, and it was delicious.

Brewed by Suginomori Sake Brewery, a revived brewery. This brewery is not registered with Sake-no-Wawa.... Despite the chic jet-black bottle. Fruity aroma, sweetness, and The flavor of the rice is very strong.

Purchased last month when I visited Naraijuku. The warehouse had been renovated and turned into an inbound inn. After tasting four kinds of sake, I bought a test brew of Beta 2 Kinmon-Nishiki 50% polished rice, No. 14 yeast Melon and pear aroma Slightly gassy and refreshingly sweet Delicate and moderate texture The bitterness in the aftertaste invites eating. The yeast seems to be Taipinghai's 1314, which is natural since it is No. 14 yeast... The price setting may be aimed at inbound and export markets. Indeed, Naraijuku was full of foreigners...

✨ San San San San Ke Nishiki San San Ai San x2 Meikyojosui m24 Saku no Hana Junmai Daiginjo Mizuo Beni Toyoka Takane Nishiki Meikyojosui Tarumi narai β comparison A group of four men next to us "We're just a bunch of old guys!" I was told "We're just a bunch of old guys". I don't look like I can drink when I meet someone for the first time 🤣. I usually drink 4 gou of sake standing up as a kind of half gou 🤣. I drank plenty of water, so I don't have a hangover. Now, I have my first narai among them, a beta version with different yeast. It has a serial number. I was told that I should drink it because it is rare, so I was persuaded to drink it again today. The sweetness is more pronounced when it is brought to room temperature. Both were delicious, but I preferred the one on the left. I don't think I will be able to drink it again (except at this restaurant). I didn't eat much food at the bar. This is because the hotel we stayed at, the Chateraise Hotel, had a welcome cake 🍰 which we ate before heading out. One per person, but the size is big so you are full. You can drink as much as you want, but I decided to be moderate because I was going to have alcohol afterwards 😌.

common crane (Grus grus) The name "Saijotsuru" is a combination of "Saijo" (the name of a place) and "Tsuru" (a crane), which means "happy" in Japanese. The sake brewery and main building, which have been used since the establishment of the company, were designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan in 2008.

It is a deeply flavored sake. The ginjo aroma increased my appetite. The refreshing aftertaste made me drink too much 😵🍺🌀.

Japanese>English

I took the liberty of drinking this sake thinking it was pure rice. The first sip was a bit harsh, but the next sip was a thick and sweet saké. If you taste it well, it has a fresh feeling, which makes it an interesting sake. I think it was a good choice for the New Year, as it is more like amazake sake. I think it would be delicious warmed up, but I haven't tried it.

2) Matsuura Ichi Sake Brewery ✨9th Omachi Summit Ginjo-Shu Category Honorable Mention ✨. Made with up to 50% polished Omachi from Akaban! Now, a sip...hmmm...this one is delicious too! Mild aroma 😳👍 Refreshing in the mouth with a touch of acidity. The umami is also great!

Japanese>English

It is a very crisp junmai sake with a good acidity level. It has a rich and expansive flavor. It is more crisp when heated. When heated, the umami is moderate and you can taste the astringency. I served it with chilled tofu, and it really brings out the flavor of the chilled tofu. Even if you don't serve it with cold tofu, you can still enjoy the taste. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards. I often drink dry sake, so I think it is dry by my standards, but it is a very good sake! Mr. Ota was in Shinjuku again! I still admire Golden Gai!

Japanese>English

The purpose of my visit to Kawanishi Sake Sales was this. Although it is not written on the label, the sake was labeled as unfiltered raw sake at the store. Unlike the label, it is fruity and modern. It has a refreshing and light taste, but the second half is a bit dry. It has a slightly gaseous taste. It is a bit like Eiko-Fuji, but a little spicier. I wrote it in a subtle way, but it is quite tasty with a good sweetness and flavor. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjyo Nama as well. I think it tastes better after the second day than on the first day.

Introducing a izakaya with an austere, connoisseur-like atmosphere. I was interested in this sake because a guide recommended it on a TV program. I was curious about this sake. ‼️ I heard it is very popular sake in Niigata. I didn't know that😅 It has no aroma. ❗️ It has no habit and it's refreshing and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

It's been a while since I've had a normal Akagisan! I love the refreshing taste of summer, but the crisp and dry taste during the cold winter months is also very refreshing and special ✨. The clear and beautiful mouthfeel is also reminiscent of the snowy winter landscape! It's also a great choice for warming up during this time of the year. But in my opinion, Akagisan is best drunk cold 😋.

Japanese>English

It is no longer a must-have. I've been saving it for a while since I bought it, but I opened it just as it was getting a little warmer! (I'll spare you my impressions.) It has a light, refreshing, umami dry taste and a clean, crisp throat, making it a great choice for the coming season 😌. In my opinion, it is a 🍺 substitute...!

The rice used is Yamadanishiki and Shunyo. This is Izumo no Kuni's newest brewery, created (reborn) last year. Naturally, it was the first time for us to visit. The image of sake in this area is that of powerful sake-like sake, all of which are unique. This sake is unique in the sense that it is, but the image has been overturned. It is very fruity and lightly sweet and sour, with a pleasant citrus bitterness spreading from the sweetness and acidity. The mouthfeel is clear and crisp. It is a wonderful bottle as a food sake. ❣️ We will keep an eye on it in the future: ‼️

Japanese>English

Overall 9 (out of 10) I had my first Shimane sake 🍶😃. I got it from Pekho-san. According to the description of the sake shop It's a "fruity and full of flavor" sake! Delicious 😋. It is a light, astringent and delicious 🍶. More of a sense of breadth than a sense of depth. Simple and straight rather than complex and harmonious Consistent throughout rather than a change in flavor. The astringency brings out the umami of the rice in a good way. I got such an impression 😋. It was gone in no time at all😅 I served it chilled. The aroma I got from the bottle is as follows. 　-Aroma: A strong aroma of rice. 　-Aroma: Slightly astringent taste that passes through the nose. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum) 　-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste 　-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste 　-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1 　-Rice flavor: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel I felt】→3 Small number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

I went to Tabe Takeshita Sake Brewery and Sake Brewery Museum 😆. But all the sake was sold out there 😭 So I went to a liquor store that sells this sake and bought Rihachi👍. I wanted to drink it and I couldn't bear to end up not being able to buy it 😣. But I'm glad I was able to buy it safely 😌. I've had this drink before and I know it's good, so I feel safe drinking it 😌. I wasn't sure whether to buy Rihachi's white label or black label, but this time I went with this one ✨. It's consistently delicious 😋.

It's been a long time since I've had a good sake! It has a soft and gentle taste, and I ended up drinking too much ...... lol. I had a hard time the next day. But the next day I drank too much again.

I jumped at the chance to buy this sake because it had a sticker saying that it had won the highest gold medal for sake in a wine glass. It was slightly sweet and fragrant, but also had the feeling of drinking sake, and I thought it would go well with Western food.

Japanese>English

This sake is supposed to have combined rice with different rice polishing ratios. The smell is slightly nutty. This sake is dry and also manages to seem both light and rich at the same time. The flavor is mellow and somewhat subdued with hints of melon and cashew. The bottle isn’t very traditional but is nicely designed. Rice Polishing Ratio: 50-70% Sake Meter Value: 2 Acidity: 1.7

Local sake for dinner. You can buy it in supermarkets in Tokyo 🍶.
