36Guardians⚔️ I've had a nice change of tastes, and was recommended to me by the liquor store ✨. It used to be a very traditional and strong flavor, but now it's a very refreshing and crisp taste, The price is 500 yen (), but it's not bad. The price is also 500 yen (⤴️), I guess the price is 500 yen (), but the taste is acceptable 😋. But I think it peaks on the first day it is opened. After that, it might be better to drink it warmed up.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki I miss the 36th person. I used to buy it at my favorite liquor store about 20 years ago. It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. The acidity and bitterness give it a taste of white wine. The sweetness increases as the temperature rises after a little time. It is also good as a food sake.

Japanese>English

A sake from Yamagata. It is brewed with Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma of Daiginjo. It has a clear taste of light and dry. I felt it was very easy to drink with good mouthfeel. I want to drink more of it! A gem that makes you want to drink more.

Just by the echoes of the Nebuta, there is also a please-sake, isn't there? I asked him to do so, but he ignored all my requests. So I drank the Momokawa nebuta in loneliness. I don't know what it tasted like, but I deserved it. I'm too drunk 🫣. Well, I don't know about myself, but I seem to be at a level where I can't keep up with both Tokyo and Kansai 😱. He was the only one who saw everything.

Japanese>English

This Sake is a nice change from what I have been drinking recently. It has a sugary sweetness similar to a ripe muscat. There is a Medium mouth feel followed by a slight dryness at the finish for a clean aftertaste. Delicious. 😋

It is refreshing and easy to drink. The menu said it was dry, but I only felt a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. We were about to eat fried food, so it was a perfect pairing 😆.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

Japanese>English

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇

Good evening! From the past history, I'll upload the sakes I drank at #Ginura Sake Bar. This time, it's "Senshin". This sake is made by Asahi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture. It is 5 years old, but it tastes so beautiful that I felt it was boring for the price. I don't know how I would feel if I drank it now. I would like to drink it again at Gin Kura. (^O^)

This is my second post tonight, back home to my parents 🙌. Kubota Kenshin Junmai Daiginjo 2021BY✨ I'm opening a bottle to feel a traditional sake for the first time in a while: ☺️ The rice used is 100% Takananishiki, and the polishing ratio is higher than that of Manju, which is a high-end line. The aroma is of the light, dry Niigata sake of yesteryear, but with a hint of matured sweet grain 😊The taste is a perfect complement to Japanese food as a mid-meal sake, with a sharp aftertaste, but with a soft, full-bodied rice sweetness that is delicious in its own right 🤤.

Japanese>English

The aroma is fruity and the taste is clear as water.

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

Japanese>English

It has a moderate acidity and a good mouthfeel❗️It is a sake with a high quality umami feeling (^^) It is good as a sake for eating 😁.

I shared my partner's order at Tsuji Shuhan's sake tasting space in Yamanaka Onsen. It's dry and refreshing. It seems to go well with any kind of food. Personally, I preferred the Tedorigawa that I chose.

The gorgeous aroma of alsobe with a Light and refreshing sweetness and acidity. It was a perfect match with sashimi. Sake rice is Yamadanishiki produced in the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture. Polishing ratio is 40%.

Japanese>English

Mild aroma, melon-like flavor. Quite fruity. Easy to drink ✨I drank it with sashimi.

Japanese>English

Dry and crisp ✨ It is characterized by the lightness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku 🌾. A fish-based accompaniment will make your cup of sake go further 😋. Sake that is dry and crispy I have the impression that Miyagi has a lot of crispy sake.

The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

At home. First Fukuoka, first Mitsui no Kotobuki. It was introduced as an easy to drink sake for those who are trying sake for the first time. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, and it goes down easy without any resistance, with a little bitterness in the throat. It's very easy to drink. Tomorrow is my day off, and I'm going to drink it with Sogapelle ❗️.

Japanese>English

Anzai-sensei I want to drink sake. It has a sweet aroma of rice and a clay-like aroma. It has a pleasant sweet aroma of rice, umami, and a pleasant sweetness when swallowed, with a moderate alcohol content. When drunk with a meal, the sake will refresh the palate and the umami and acidity will follow the meal, making everything delicious. Now there is nothing else to do but drink it.

Japanese>English

Hokkaido has become like spring. We had it with tempura of butterbur's leaf. It goes well with the bitter taste of butterbur's tongue.

Another beautiful bottle this year. I was able to obtain it. The blue gradation is wonderful! I think last year it was the color of wild cherry. The taste is soft and gentle. Delicious! It didn't have the piquancy of a fresh sake. Like?

Japanese>English

It is quite pungent, and the acidity creates a bit of sweetness. I think it is a crisp sake.

Japanese>English

It has a soft freshness. Creamy aroma, like vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite silky, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. There is a hint of citrus. Mild, but with a bitter and spicy aftertaste. Rather than drinking it by itself, it is very suitable for drinking with food. A bit alcoholic for me😅. I'd like to give it some time and see how it changes.

A refreshing and crisp sake typical of Echigo breweries. Serve it warm. Sake is a breeze created by local rice, water, humanity, and nature. This is exactly what I feel, and I feel the brewer's message and sensibility in likening it to the wind.

Smooth and sweet around. Smooth with flavor.

Light mouthfeel. The umami slowly creeps up on you. The description "Myoumi desu-dan" shines.
