This is delicious 😋. The aroma of cedar that spreads in your mouth is amazing at first. It is as soothing as a dip in a hot spring. Sake is the royal road type with a sharp dry taste followed by umami. This is the type of sake I would like to drink regularly.

Japanese>English

The fourth cup. Choryu Shuzo has its headquarters and brewery in Hiroyo, Nara Prefecture, but they also have a brewery in Yatsuo, which was exhibited at this booth. It has a pleasant aroma of cedar barrels and a clean taste. It was the perfect sake for a quiet drink.

Challenge ( -̀ -́ )୨⚑︎゛ I like 300ml because it is easy to challenge 🎶. A little bit alcoholic. But it's very clear. I think it's a sweet and tasty food wine 🤔. Sweetness 🆙 on the 2nd day of opening the bottle. I praise myself for trying to drink 300ml over 2 days☆Elated

I posted offline and forgot to put this 💦. First time for both Ippongi and Denshin. I thought I could buy them anytime and I avoided them because of their dry image😅. The top aroma is like pineapple and tropical fruits. The initial aroma is like pineapple or tropical fruits. The second half is quite spicy though it has fruity and soft sweetness. I wonder if the softness is due to the fact that it is bagged.

I wanted a dry, dry drink. There are days when I'm in that mood. You might say don't choose raw, but I realized it after the sake bottle came. I enjoyed it with yudofu. It fits my mood today. When I think of dry, dry sake, I think of Niigata, Hiroshima, and Kochi. I admit to disagreeing.

Japanese>English

This Sake paired well with the home made bacon we had with dinner. The flavor profile is bright with the flavor of banana and has a dry, clean finish. The dryness is mild and not overly strong.

★3.0 Weak aroma, herbaceous, cemedine, muscat. The mouthfeel is also quite dry. Quite dry for a Fukushima sake. Would go well with fatty sashimi.

Slightly cloudy. Smoky aroma like smoked fish, but round and quite sweet in the mouth. It would be great if it wasn't smoky...

It was hard to ask them to let me take a picture because they looked so busy, so no picture. The aroma is classic Japanese sake. When you drink it, it is quite refreshing and slightly sweet. The color is dark and I wonder if it has aged a bit. I was allowed to take a picture of it as the restaurant was getting settled, so I switched it out.

Tokyo's local sake. Trial 300ml bottle. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter. Fresh, light, and refreshing? It is easy to drink without any habits. It's quite tasty...I guess it's like a light and delicious sake...I didn't know there was such a Junmai-shu in Tokyo...

Japanese>English

Rice used: Akebono from Okayama Prefecture, Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture, Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture This is a new product from a local liquor store. I thought it was a Toyama sake, but it turned out to be an Edo sake. The acidity is strong, and there is a refreshing summery flavor. The bitter and spicy aftertaste is also good. The overall balance is not bad. Sake from Tokyo is not to be underestimated ❗️

Japanese>English

This Akiruno City Chiyotsuru, Kami-Sen, is a perfect accompaniment to yakitori. This selection is austere, I thought. But it goes well with chicken hot pot. Ingredients: Rice, rice malt, brewers' alcohol Rice polishing ratio 65 Rice used: Domestic rice Alcohol content 15-16 Acidity 1.2 Sake degree +3

Ordered after the taxi driver. Also raw sake. It's called "Soma no Tengu". It is not possible to read it if it notices the frigana of the label. I'm sorry. It's as difficult to read as Kireuriwari in Osaka. Well, how is the taste...? It's been a long time since I drank muddled sake, so I had a strange feeling at the first sip, but the sweetness came, and I thought it was characteristic to change to sourness soon. I drank it up with some sea bream stew and enjoyed it.

It arrived just a few minutes ago. This morning, the sake was pressed early in the morning. It seems I forgot to buy it last year, but this year I reserved it and bought it. I couldn't stand it, so I had a cup in my inoguchi. I love Tomikunishiki, but this year's Risshun morning pressing has a little acidity, a clean throat, and not much of an aftertaste. It's delicious!

Japanese>English

I went to the Tomikunishiki New Sake Festival yesterday and today. I bought a bottle of Shiboritate and sake lees this year too. I opened the bottle right away. This year's Shiboritate seems to be more fruity than usual. It's delicious. I love Tomihunishiki after all❤️.

Japanese>English

It's that time of year again ♪ We were able to get enough plums for two bottles, so we have two this year. One of them, actually I couldn't pickle plums last year because of the bad harvest, so I left it, but I hope it's okay. Basic shape and refreshing. I'm looking forward to winter ☺️.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

Japanese>English

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.
