It is quite a good taste. It is a taste with a sense of gravity that cannot be described.

〰fixture 2020 R02BY Finishing No.16 🌾 Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture R03/07 It was chilled well. The bottle was opened without any explosion. It stimulates the tongue with a swoosh. It has a thick nigori taste. The taste of rice is thick but smooth. It has a thick rice flavor that is unique to nigori, but it is smooth and crisp.

Last day in Shimane Prefecture! Oroku Kekei I finally got to drink it! I don't drink much nigorizake, but Delicious and refreshing! Outstandingly delicious😋 This is my impression when I was drunk🤪 PS I went to Izumo Taisha 😜.

[Breath] Delicious 😋. You can feel the mellowness of the sake and the deliciousness of the rice! It's not a food sake, but a sake to be enjoyed with a little bit of wine! I want to buy it again. Inahana sake suits me. I want to try another one. It makes me feel like that ^_^.

Japanese>English

Chiba Prefecture! There are many good sake! (I am not from Chiba Prefecture) Now, Inahana Sake Brewery. It is a small sake brewery in Joso Ichinomiya, but they do not sell their sake to outside customers! It may look like you are not allowed to enter the premises of the brewery, but you can enter without any problem. The sake we tried this time. At the moment of drinking, you may feel that the sake is a bit thin. But after a little while, the sake's delicious flavor and sweetness come to the surface! Interesting! It seems that this sake is not widely available, but if you have a chance to try it, please do so! There was also another sake that was twice as tasty if you shook the bottle after drinking it normally! I'll have to buy some next time,

Grape Dry Spice Sweetness

The first time in five years, Doban, Fukunohana was used. Aroma: Aroma of straw. The attack is very sweet! The acidity is very high. It is very sweet when cold, but as the temperature rises, the sweetness disappears. The acidity, which appears occasionally in between the sweetness, is very good. Legs are small, but strong and long, full-bodied with a yellowish tinge.

Japanese>English

It has a great but somewhat addictive flavor 😄.

🐳🌊 Good ✨ when drunk chilled. Overall, it has a dry taste with a nice sharpness. It gets a little dry as the temperature rises, Best when fresh out of the fridge 😋.

Same place, same time. Just like always. I had a delicious meal...

Whale wave is next. I thought it was your first time in Gifu Prefecture and you got one 😊. The aroma is fresh and fruity by nature, with a slight hint of hineyness, perhaps because the bottle was opened 3 months later. Well-balanced fruity. Almost no acidity. A full-bodied flavor softly appears at the end of the bottle. Although it is a draft sake, it is quite soft and mild. Maybe soft water? 🤔 It is best served cold or chilled. It seems to be difficult to age.

2020/08/14 I like Shinyon, but it didn't turn out to be a great drink. I haven't met my taste buds lately.

Japanese>English

I bought it with Yamatsuru at Sake Merchant Yori-san. Abetaya, which I visited before going here, also had a bottle of Shinyomi, but I felt it was too dry, so I passed on it and bought it here. It has a refreshing taste like a summer sake with a mild sweetness. Although the sake level is minus, the second half of the bottle feels sharp and dry. It's sweet, but something different. It tastes better at room temperature when it is sweeter. I think Shinyun was closed for a few years after Toji Kurose moved to Inada Shuzo and the president passed away, I wonder who is running the brewery now? I don't know who is running the brewery now 🤔. I know there were fewer distributors around there... I left it for about a week and the acidity got really strong.

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 😁.

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

Japanese>English

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

Japanese>English

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

I've been making my way to restaurants with good service lately. Today they served me a fresh aged sake. Today is February 6. This is my first Kinkame. My first impression was that it was very good! Next, it has a strong umakuchi taste. The acidity at the end is good, just like Yamadataro. It is like a light kijoshu, and it is delicious. Shiga is nice.

Japanese>English

This one has a milling ratio of 80. Full of sweetness! It spreads slowly in the mouth.

Japanese>English

In Sakewa, there are two separate brands, Kinkame and Kinkame, which is the correct one to register? Kinkame's "Drink this" is 70% polished. It has umami, richness, and a moderately classic feel. This is also a delicious sake.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

Japanese>English

Direct from the warehouse I got it at Eiraku in Akita. I bought it after I came back to Japan. It is as beautiful and soft as ever! It is a sake I would like to drink only on a daily basis 🍶.
