Amber colored sake 🍶. This sake had a strong (heavy) flavor. It also has a sweetness, but the bitter taste comes in the aftertaste. I think it's delicious, but if you like refreshing sake, it might not be for you.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😋. Good sake in the neighborhood too👍.

I have never seen this label before. It is a bit old and peculiar, but overall it is a delicious sake.

Ito Stand (Meguro) Firm taste. Almost syrupy sweetness.

Japanese>English

Made in the same brewery as Natural Selection. It is a dessert sake with a syrupy, honey-like flavor. It has a strange flavor that changes when drunk snow-cold or lukewarm.

Japanese>English

I had never had it before, even though it is a staple of this restaurant! A rich aroma of mirin (sweet sake). Sweet and tasty, sour and light syrup. The rice is fluffy and delicious afterwards. The flavor spreads softly in the mouth, just like amazake. Surprisingly, it is not so sticky. It is like a dessert sake.

I was curious why it says sweet on purpose😅. It's not like the popular fluffy fluty It's a solid sweet sake 👘. So, you know... It was great with light red bean paste sweets, cheese, teriyaki, etc 🎵. Recommended to drink at room temperature or lukewarm, but it was also possible to drink it a little chilled 👍✨.

Japanese>English

This is delicious! This sake has a fukuyoka (frizziness) of rice and a robust flavor, just like junmai (pure rice).

Japanese>English

The traditional technique of "Nama-moto" brewing, which utilizes the power of nature. It has a powerful yet fruity taste with a gentle sweetness of rice. Purchased at Sake-no-Yamaya Karasuma Oike store.

I was in Himeji and went to the Tatsuriki store 😊. Daiginjo with a pretty refreshing taste, dry I guess? I haven't had a sake like this lately.

Japanese>English

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today we opened a bottle of Shinryu Nishiki that we purchased at the Tatsuriki store in Himeji station😃. The aroma is gorgeous and pear-like 😊The rounded mouthfeel, overall mild acidity and umami 😄Great crispness that disappears quickly 😘I felt it was an easy sake to pair with a meal 🥳. The last picture is of the Japanese garden next to Himeji Castle. It was very beautiful and relaxing 🥰.

Japanese>English

This is my last post of the year😊. Thank you all so much for being with us this year! Please take care of yourselves and let's enjoy another year of good drinks🥰 Now, this sake has an otona taste ✨👠 It's a little dry, with a good combination of flavor and richness, and it's even sexy💖. I wonder if it's the precious rice that makes it so or if the brewer is good at it, it's so good 👏! Next time I come across it again I will definitely buy it 🎵.

Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, a robust flavor, and a complex taste. It is dry, yet sharp and sharp. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, but it is enough to keep you from drinking too much. It is so dry that it is difficult to drink too many glasses.

Fresh, beautifully smooth flavor and acidity. It is very easy to drink with a low alcohol content. It has a sharpness and a bitterness in the back.

Rice used is unknown The whooper swan print is beautiful. Most sake with the name "Josen" has the taste of "the best sake," but this sake is well-balanced and has a beautiful mouthfeel. The umami can be felt gradually, and it is not sticky, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a good sake. ❗️ The 92nd cup of sake

Japanese>English

A gift from Sawanoizumi The Jun Dai I drank before was a Miyagi sake, beautifully light and dry, and I felt (selfishly) the earnestness of the toji (master brewer). I had an image of a modest, but firm, light, dry Kura. And then there is this special pure Sawanoizumi. It does not have much of a topping aroma, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and umami! It is sweet to the level of the Hitakami, and the robust umami is also very tasty! It has a light acidity and bitterness, followed by a refreshing sharpness. It's good! This is good! The price is relatively cheap, about 1300 yen for a four-pack, but it is convincing enough! Ishikoshi Brewery. I underestimated you. Sorry about that. Sake is so interesting because there are new discoveries even at the foot of the table like this! Thank you very much!

Honjozo 🍶 fresh stored sake✨ A good, albeit alsodense, taste. Dry aftertaste. Slightly bitter. Mild when paired with salmon. ☺️ Sweetness when paired with sea bream. It's delicious. Spicy when served with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Swordfish stew is the best match👍I enjoyed changing the taste to match the meal 😆. Guest House Shimodoso @ Minamisanriku 20230827

I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it. I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor. It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ Sweet ripeness. It's good with a slight old wine feel.

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought because I wanted to drink something different from what I usually buy. High alcohol content (18%) and tastes more like a classic. Delicious, but not my favorite.

Japanese>English

I've known about this ice breaker for a while, but had somehow passed on it in Tamagawa. After seeing the many rave reviews on Sakenowa, I finally bought one 🙂. Oh, it's definitely thick and delicious! It's like a whiskey 👍. I'm convinced that it goes well on the rocks🤩. I was reminded that it's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. It's not just a summer drink that you can gulp down. I will add this to my summer staples from now on👍.

Japanese>English

Tamagawa is a place where I sometimes feel like drinking. Summer is the time for this 😋. Icebreaker ❤️ It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, but this time I drank it straight and sipped it until the end. The sense of satisfaction is the same as ever. It is full-bodied, strong, complex, sweet, and delicious. It can be served on the rocks, with water, as it is, or heated.
