I liked this sake because of its strong name. It is the sake that protected the sea of Tsugaru.

#Funabori# The first sip of the bottle is a bit bitter. However, as you continue drinking, the atmosphere of the powerful red label is But as you continue to drink it, it has a clear and refreshing feeling 😳 I thought it would be heavier😅

Japanese>English

Scoring ☆☆☆☆☆ The fourth cup is a daiginjo from Ando Suigun. It is a daiginjo, but it does not have much of a ginjo aroma. It has a good flavor. The first cup of Shirakami no SHIZUKU was drunk with the first cup of Shirakami no SHIZUKU, The party is over! We went to the private bath that we reserved in advance. ♨️ The soft water makes your skin smooth and smooth: ✨️ On the way back to Hirosaki, we stopped by a liquor store 😅... 😅. To keep the family in a good mood, we also went apple picking and even got an apple pie as a souvenir 😁. I got home safe and sound 🏠.

At the tasting. Junmai Daiginjo fire-aged Gohyakumangoku. It is mellow, sweet, and beautiful. It has the same label as the affordable unfiltered raw sake sold at Yamaya, but this one was more expensive at 3,300 yen.

Japanese>English

At tasting. Fruity, sweet and mellow. It was sweeter and tastier than the raw sake, but it was more expensive, so I decided to buy the unfiltered raw sake directly from Kameguchi in Kayama.

Japanese>English

I also bought this at Yamaya. The aroma is like a pineapple. It has a mild sweetness and a juicy flavor. This is one of my personal favorites from DHC Sake Brewery. It's been a while since I drank their sake, but it's still delicious. There is a big change in the taste after opening. The pungent taste became more prominent. The pineapple aroma also disappeared. The gradation of the bottle is beautiful.

Comparison of nigori sake from Wakayama's favorite brands (1) We compared nigori sake from two of our favorite brands, Minakata and Chokyu. First, let's start with Minakata 😄. The first one has a fresh and fruity aroma like apples and a strong fizzy feeling. It has a full, sweet flavor and a crisp, refreshing taste, and is just as delicious as one would imagine 😍. It's been quite a while since I've had Nanpo, but I don't remember it ever being out of place and I think it's a good brand with a high level of quality 😁.

Japanese>English

The first Minakata I've had in probably 3 years, given to me in a 300ml bottle ☺️The 4-pack bottle has a picture of Minakata Kumagusu and the brand story on it, but with 300ml there's no room for that... 😅. It has a thin banana 🍌 aroma with a slight tang of alcohol behind it. After a slightly sweet attack, the aftertaste is a good mix of bitterness, sourness and spiciness. The aftertaste of bitterness lasts quite long. It will go well with both meat and fish without any conflict. The quality of the sake is similar to Kido's Junmai Ginjo. Is it because it is a sake from Wakayama Prefecture?

Japanese>English

Grading☆☆☆ Sake from Wakayama A faint scent of ginjo, just the right amount of rice flavor, and a touch of bitterness and sharpness. The bitterness and sharpness. But I don't feel any major characteristics in this one 😅. It's a dry taste for a mid-meal drink. It's a bit lacking in a single product.

Tochigi Prefectural Association 🍓 Women's Association 🤭😉🤗🐥① Thank you for giving Tsubu a detailed review: 🙏🏻 Please excuse the duplicate review: 🙇🏻‍♀️ short... The toast was Tsuji Zenbei, from the Tochigi sake drinking contest. It is a sake from Moka city, a neighbor of Utsunomiya. 💁🏻‍♀️ It has a soft mouthfeel and a nice, clear, high acidity sharpness...

Japanese>English

PREMIUM S 1800ml Ingredients ... Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), Brewer's alcohol Rice used ... 100% domestic rice Rice polishing ratio ... 68 Alcohol percentage ... 16 We had it bundled with Urasato Usu Nigori. I was attracted by the concept of cheap and tasty sake. If you try to get rid of the miscellaneous flavors, you lose the umami, and I wondered how it was possible to keep it. I felt that the umami was more pronounced on the second and third days than on the first day. I wonder if I expected a little too much, but I am curious to know how it is in the local market.

Japanese>English

I've never had this sake before❗️. There are many delicious sake in Tochigi, so I'm looking forward to opening the bottle 😀. The aroma is subdued❗️ I'm not sure if this is the first time I've had it, but I'm sure it will be the last. When the temperature rises slightly, the sweetness and sourness are refined and the aftertaste disappears like water👍. The overall balance of the sake was good and it was very easy to drink😄.

light (flavor, flavour) Junmai, but good rice transparency A hint of cream is just right? I wonder if it's cream.

Japanese>English

It was a sake with a Sake meter of +2, but it had a sweet and umami taste, and was also refreshing. It happened to be a perfect match for fried oysters with tartar sauce at this time of the year.

Japanese>English

The name "Tomikyushin" was derived from "Tomizo" of Tomizo I, "Hisa" of Wakuri, the mother of Shigenao IV, and most importantly, "Kokoro" or "heart". It has a gorgeous heady aroma as soon as it is opened, cemedine aroma from the glass, and a full-bodied, umami sweetness. The aftertaste is a bit hard, with a hint of sakekasu (sake lees). Legs are few and weak, but long. It is a sake that makes you drink.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

I'm going to buy hiyaoroshi - at touring, I went to a direct sales store, I was told that this year's hiyaoroshi has a strong flavor. I couldn't buy a bottle because I was on a motorcycle. O-ro-ro-ro-ro, It is indeed more umami than last year. This is delicious. We ended up drinking 2 gou each and ran out in 2 days, I wish I had a bottle! No beer today,

Japanese>English

This is a summer nigori that I buy every year. I buy it every year - I know it's good. And every time I buy it, I spend 10 minutes struggling to open the bottle, Gasp! This year I was able to open it easily. First, let's take a sip of the supernatant, It's delicious, weakly fruity, with just the right amount of spiciness. I don't care about the fizz, it's just a shake, I hope it doesn't blow out, The result is that it did not blow out. The result was that it didn't blow out, But there is still sedimentation at the bottom. Delicious - finished in 2 days, The last sedimentation part was tasty with more flavor and more umami. I felt like I had gained something by being able to taste three different levels of deliciousness. I took a break from beer today and am now breaking in my bike. I saw the sea in the San-in region.

Tasting at Shirayuki (2) Beautiful and more fruity than expected. Jungin but Daiginjo-style atmosphere. This sake can be found only in department stores and some aeon stores, but I wonder if it sells well 🤔.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Japanese>English

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

Here is the fourth drink at HAMA BAR in Kashima City Hizen Kurashin Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire It has sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity. It is more umami than sweetness, and the acidity and sourness support each other.

Japanese>English

Kashima City HAMA BAR section is still going on😊. Here is the 7th cup in total! Hizen Kurashin Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Hi-ire The last time we drank this was Omachi, but this one is made with the best rice in the sake brewing world, Mohansei! It is ama, delicious, bitter, and sharp! It also has plenty of acidity! It tastes as good as you'd expect.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Osan Nishiki It is not a simple light dry taste, but you can feel a little sweetness in the bitterness and spiciness. The flavor is just like the name "Super Dry", and there is a part that makes you think "high alcohol content❗️", but it is not spicy, and you can feel the tenderness. Also, there is a freshness that can be imagined from the color of the label, and it is a sake that is easy to drink with good sharpness. Naturally, I recommend it as a food sake❣️.

Home Drinking with Neighborhood Drinkers We can't drink with a big group yet, but... A little drinking party. This is a sake from a nearby brewery. It is a sake with a good taste.

Japanese>English

Limited production local sake brewed with Teruhi rice harvested from reclaimed fallow rice fields damaged in the 2014 Hiroshima torrential rain disaster🍶. It is named after the Obayashi district where the rice fields are located, with the aim of "making the village prosperous for the next thousand years." Unfortunately, I saw a newspaper article the other day that the brewing of this season's sake was abandoned due to deer-eating damage this year. We are praying for an early revival. The first impression is a fresh aroma and fruity acidity, followed by umami in the back and a slightly spicy aftertaste, which is refreshing and white wine-like 😀. The low rice polishing (85%) and light mouthfeel made it easy to drink 😋.

Japanese>English

Mild sweet and sour aroma Weak chili sensation on the palate Initial attack of sweetness and fresh acidity Sourness derived from lactic acid Soft and mellow sweetness and rice flavor Well balanced with sweetness The edge of the acidity is well balanced with the sweetness.

@ Daikokuya Liquor Store Maniacal selection of products, I thought I would go back. Rice used is Kame-no-o. It has a gaseous taste with a crisp and clean aftertaste. It is gorgeous. The sweetness is a little strong, but it goes in smoothly. It was a solid and delicious sake ❗️.

Japanese>English

Nanamaru's Nama Sake 🍶. As always, a bold drink! Plenty of umami stored in the bottle The strong acidity also tightens the taste. Sake that is quite drinkable! It has been a long time since I wanted to drink it. I got the news of new sake! I will enjoy it slowly.
