I bought this during my Obon trip. It's a gentle type, not bad, but I'm not impressed. ⁉️

Japanese>English

Second bottle of Rakurakutsuru. It is a brewed sake with a very high degree of alcohol (19-20 💦). I bought a small bottle because I wasn't sure, but I might as well have bought a big one. The regular size was a square bottle, which is an unusual shape for sake. I think it is best to drink it on the rocks, but you can also drink it straight, but I'm afraid of the aftertaste 😁. There are similar types of sake such as ice breaker, but I think it has a clear taste in comparison. I recommend it for summer👍

Japanese>English

Went out to eat Izushi soba with my family👍. After dinner, we stopped by a nearby sake brewery. I often visit Izushi, but this was my first time to visit this brewery. I think this is probably the only junmai I've ever had. I recommend this sake at room temperature👍. Cold sake has an overly pronounced acidity, but it can be drunk neatly. At room temperature, the sweetness is more easily felt and the overall balance is better. In addition, I drank it hot and felt the spiciness strongly, but it was very smooth. You can enjoy the change in taste with the change in temperature 😁.

Tonight, our first in the series, Aizu Otokoyama Kai from Fukushima Aizu ✨. First of all, the specs are 100% Fukunoka with Jungin polish and 16% alcohol. The aroma is clear with a hint of pineapple and a mojito-like flavor in the second half. The attack is soft and sweet just like the aroma, but soon the acidity and bitterness overtake it and it has a nice crisp finish 👍 It is perfect as a mealtime drink and is very easy to drink without feeling too much alcohol 😋.

Japanese>English

Otokoyama Brewery is located in Aizumisato-cho, Onuma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, which is different from Kaito Otokoyama. The brewery was dormant for a while, but has restarted again. It is a fresh, raw ogara-mi sake. It is slightly carbonated and tastes great with the bitterness of the oli.

Japanese>English

Aizu Otokoyama INOMATA65, autumn rise. Orthodox but slightly fruity. It is delicious and does not have the strange feeling of old-fashioned sake lingering on the tongue. This is a repeat sake.

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.

Japanese>English

The 22nd sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture. The main brand of Chiyogiku K.K. located in Hashima City. Purchased at a supercenter in Seki City. The aroma is a weak ginjo aroma. It is a light and dry type with little acidity. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

It smells firmly of cedar wood. And the taste, too! This is the first barrel sake since Kiku-Masamune's barrel sake! Gentle sweetness. It was delicious and had no flavor.

Japanese>English

We had guests over at the house that day, so we opened a lot of bottles😅. I bought it because I thought it was rare to find once-fired sake in a keg. The top aroma is modest, but when you drink it, you can smell the woody aroma of the barrel. It is fresh and sweeter than I expected. The final taste is spicy. I would like to drink this as it is 🤔.

YAMATOGAWA Junmai A robust sake with a full-bodied, spicy taste with a delicious rice flavor. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Brewed with the utmost care, it is the forerunner of our high-class sake, characterized by its elegant aroma and delicious rice flavor. The balance between taste and aroma is a selling point, and the taste is refined, full, and rich. I fell in love with sake after drinking Junmai Daiginjo Sake Seigenkai!　It was the beginning of my love affair with sake!　It is the perfect sake for those who do not drink sake and those who want to learn how to drink sake.

Japanese>English

Collaboration of Urabandai Lake Resort Fruity, but dry, spicy, and sharp rather than sweet, so you may not get tired of drinking it.　It has a crisp pineapple taste,

This is a gift from a sake professional, a local sake from Nanada's place. It is quite precious as it is the first pressing... 🙏. The aroma is juicy fruity and red apple-like. The mouthfeel is supposed to be fresh, but it also has a mellow, umami-like sweetness that spreads out and is very drinkable 👌👌. As a lover of the four seasons, I quite like this type. ☺️ I've heard it tastes great warmed up, so I'm going to enjoy it 😋.

Japanese>English

The eighth one is a storehouse of rocks. This is the first time for Iwanokura itself. I guess I don't even remember seeing it in a liquor store. From the name and the image on the label, I somehow imagined it to be light and dry, but when I tried it, it was completely different. It has a sweet flavor from the fruity Kamitatekko, and although it is more reserved in terms of flavor intensity than the previous brew, I didn't feel anything lacking. On the contrary, it has a nice umami taste that comes slowly but surely afterwards! The cut is also very smooth, so it is like a gentle sweet and tasty taste. It's delicious! Finally, the next is the last! Thank you for the food!

Japanese>English

Modest ginjo aroma, pear-like flavor? A little spiciness afterward is also nice. As the temperature rises, the graininess comes out. It is better when it is cold,

( *´*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano business trip No.3 Today is the 3rd day of cup sake life 😀 We got Kamito cup sake from Okaya City😋. Good balance of flavor and sharpness 😚👍This is a delicious sake 😊. Tomorrow I hope to visit liquor stores and breweries to get some Nagano sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 I opened my first bottle of Kamito today 😋I thought it was an Autumn Sake so I went online to ☝️ and found it was a new sake from last winter 🤣. It has a freshness and a freshness in the mouth that is typical of the raw sake 😊After a strong acidity, it quickly runs out of flavor 😀. It is a delicious sake 😚👍 so I would like to try the sake over the summer next time 🤣.

Japanese>English

Kamito Junmai Ginjo Petillant Rice polishing ratio 59 Alcohol content 17%. Kamito is another brand of Toyoka. It is said to be characterized by a gaseous sensation, but perhaps it was too long since the bottle was opened, or maybe there was not much gaseous sensation. But it is modern and delicious.

They use a yeast called "Kyo no Koto" which was jointly developed by Sasaki Shuzo and the Kyoto City Institute of Industrial Technology. If that's the case, why don't they write it on the label? It's quite floral, but banana-like. At the end, the sourness kills it. So far, I don't think I've had a bad bottle of Fuoh.

Japanese>English

I bought it at ●Maya because I thought it was rare to find Tomiou's Yamahai. It was sweet with lactic acidity. Then there is a bitterness with a graininess. A little peculiar? A little nutty. It has a complex taste with caramel and creaminess. After a few days, it tastes like yogurt or calpis. After a few more days, it's hard to describe, but it has a type of habit I don't like...

Japanese>English

Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (¡Ω) Very yellow. Delicious and mellow as expected! Although from the Fushimi brewery, this sake would definitely be better suited to those who prefer San-in sake! I've been afraid to go to Kyoto since the new cologne, but this makes me want to go to Fushimi to buy some! But I still don't have the guts to take the train only in the direction of Kyoto where there are many tourists! Still, this sake has enough charm to make me brave enough to make the decision to go to Fushimi, even if I am trembling!

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 ☺️.

It's a sake made by Imuraya, the same company that made the Azuki Bar that just went on sale the other day. There is no brand name or registration. It is a pure, unpasteurized sake. It's fruity and sweet, which is the latest trend ☺️. Delicious.

The aroma is faintly peachy 🤔In the mouth, it's fire-aged but fresh 😀 Mature soft umami and round sweetness 🥰 Mild acidity to tighten it up and a slight sweetness lingers 😚 It's a refreshing drink 😊. I feel like it would be good with azuki beans since it is from Imuraya 🥳.
