Unfiltered raw sake & Asahi rice for 2,530 yen including tax is a super deal ‼️ It is not so fresh, but has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight sense of maturity. The rich umami comes in smoothly, and the finish is crisp and tight. It has a good balance of bitterness, bitterness, and sweetness, and is the type of sake that one does not get tired of drinking as an unfiltered, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a good sake to drink with food or as an evening drink. ❗️ It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

It tastes a little bit like aged, but it has all the sweetness, flavor, bitterness, and spiciness you would expect. It tastes like tea. It tastes like apple tea. It is a slightly different type of flavor. It tastes juicy, sweet and spicy. Some people may find it spicy, but it's a subtle taste.

Japanese>English

Sake purchased on the way home from a BBQ at Wakata's house It is not very sweet, or rather slightly spicy, but has a strong umami flavor. It is bursting with Omachi character. The latter half and the aftertaste are very fruity. It was made in April, but I wonder if it has been in the warehouse. It seems to have matured a little 🤔. Well, I don't mind it because I think Wasshin has a positive effect on the quality of sake even if it has an aged feel. I think it might be the same as the sake I bought about 3 years ago with the plague banished label, but it didn't have the tea-like taste that I felt in the sake I drank before 🤔. I was thinking tea-like = Wasshin. The Junmai Daiginjo I drank at the Sakai Off-line Meeting in June also didn't have the tea-like taste, so maybe it depends on the BY.

☀️ It has a light sweetness and a passing acidity 😚. The ginjo aroma passes through the nose. At the end, the flavor disappears and the aroma remains, and it's whiffy. ☺️

Japanese>English

Oh, this is an easy-drinking type. Omachi. I couldn't read it, so I asked for something that looks like a deer squealing, but it's Rokumei from Rokumeikan.

Japanese>English

Another bottle I bought at Hasegawa-san in Tokyo station. The first time for Otokoyama-san in Yamagata This is also the original label of Hasegawa-san. The rice used is Miyamanishiki, so it's the same as "Junmai-shu Gold Label". Anyway, it was a delicious sake with a lot of fullness. The sharpness isn't bad either, and it's perfect as a sake for a meal. I thought it was good for everyday drinking. That's about all I can say for a 1-gallon bottle...

Japanese>English

☆☆☆☆☆ A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong. Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.

I was in Akashi on a business trip 🚄 First time I got off at Nishi-Akashi and had local sake heated with Akashiyaki 🐙 which I haven't had in a super long time.　It feels spicy at first but the sweetness comes later 😯 Surprisingly, I like it a lot 😊. I'll drink it again when I go back to Akashi 😁.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

Japanese>English

Dry taste that goes well with chicken on the bone. It washes away the oil from the chicken. A quick sip with a cup of sake will reset your palate from the strong flavors of tsukune, kawa, liver, etc., and you will be ready for the next dish. You will be ready for the next dish in a flat state.

Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma. It has a light touch with a sharp spiciness behind.

Sake with a strong umami and acidity. It goes down the throat well and is delicious.

Japanese>English

We used Go To to Echigo Yuzawa. So_1F3D4 brand and Naebayama brand that I don't remember seeing in Tokyo to match the local cuisine of the hotel. Junmai-Ginjo sake with Junmai-Ginjo specifications. The gentle aroma, the sweetness, and the refreshing finish give me the impression that this is a "Niigata's local sake" as I have always imagined it to be. In terms of Niigata brands that you can buy in Tokyo, I'd say it's similar to the Junmai Ginjo specs of Tsurueri or Kubota. If I tasted it, I'd never be able to understand it myself... After all, coming on a trip and pairing it with local food is the best part of local sake 👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. My first impression was "It's sweet. ❣️ I felt that "Kosu-Mori" was also quite sweet for me, but it seemed more profound than "Kosu-Mori". It is like licking a muscat candy. The finish, however, is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness, so the sweetness doesn't linger and it feels refreshing. It is a delicious drink, but I think it is suitable for different situations.

This is the first bottle of Akita Shun Ginjo. I've never met this brewery before, but it's a good omen❗. The second day, the aroma of the nama-moto has receded into the background, and the taste becomes light and clean, but the nama-moto structure gives it a moderate depth, as if it is producing the flavor from a step back. This sake has become my 💓.

I was drunk and went to bed first, My partner and daughter screamed in the middle of the night😱. I woke up in a panic and found a bug! I killed it instantly with a kincho0 under the sun ‼️ The case was safely settled. I was woken up, so I thought I'd have a drink and go back to sleep. In the fridge, Nahami's sacred sake from Akita ✨. I'm so happy ㊗️ to open it 😁. I got it from the altar at my partner's work lol I'm going to have a look at this and some surume 🤣. I looked at the label and thought 💦 Naba? It has a peculiar taste 😅. And then I opened the bottle 🎉. And then a sip... You're a quirky guy! By Chidori Nobu style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Score☆☆☆ Conclusion, don't drink sake... 😱

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_63 Akita Prefecture booth 4 Naba Shoten Co., Ltd. is located in Akita City. The current sake brewery was built in 1927-3, the first reinforced concrete structure in Tohoku. Ginrin Kurukuru A refreshing sourness, but with a hint of umami. It has a slightly modern feel, with a slightly yogurt-like sourness. I like the kurukuru label and have been buying and drinking it, but I don't know where I bought it...probably at a liquor store near Mt.

The toji has been replaced and they are using a ferry for rice this year. Fresh, sweet and sour, but complex. Is it lightly gassy? A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare😺🐶. Overall, I'd say it's a light drink? The label is emo. The summer label looks like something out of Boku no Natsuyasumi.

Japanese>English

Home drinking. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture The color is slightly whitish. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. The taste is sweet like green apple. The acidity is blended with sweet and sour. Is it sweet? Is it sweet? But then the sourness appears and has a big impact 🤩. The aftertaste has the umami of the rice, which is even more pronounced when combined with the acidity. I felt that the hint of aroma also penetrated through. By not being too sweet, the acidity and fragrance were also well perceived, allowing me to enjoy a mellow and refreshing sake 😊.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it with vegetables Rice used, Miyamanishiki Yeast, Kyokai 701 Alcohol 13%. Personal preference among 4 types 4️⃣ I received a bottle of sake that has been stored at room temperature for a wacky long time... I tried to drink it but it was old sake ( ´-̥̥̥̥̥ω̥̥̥̥̥̥`) I got about 7 kinds of sake including Tasake and Jyushiyo... What a waste 😭😭😭 The sauce made with Tasake was delicious though 🥲.
