Terroir of Okazaki 🍶 Junmai-shu brewed with "Manzai rice" produced in Okazaki at a milling ratio of 70 I think I could taste some bitterness.... I think I can feel a bit of bitterness... It doesn't lose its edge on the second day either... It doesn't seem to be round. Is it good as a food sake? It's different from the Jungin I drank before... a little disappointing... sorry...

Japanese>English

Bread when you open the bottle! It's a lively sake from Western-style! The aroma is a faint and unique rice aroma. It has a sweet and bitter taste and a slight effervescence. As the label says, the balance is exquisite...you can drink it as is...this is...this is delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious

It's the first time I've taken two rabbits. "He who runs after two hares will catch two rabbits. That's a good phrase, isn't it? It's not too fragrant or sweet. It will come in handy as a sipping drink.

Your first brand ✨ A gift from MAJ! Thanks. It has a pretty yellowish color. I wonder what about other standard sake or something 🤔. The aroma is sour and the taste is also sour. You can feel the greeful feeling, Perfect for the hot summer months✨. I'm sure this will be very popular if they expand their distributorships 😋.

Japanese>English

This Sake is bright and slightly tart. There are flavors of apple and a hint of pear. A medium mouth feel with acidity to clean your pallet. Nicely refreshing.

Although the label is damaged, the Sake is a beautiful melon flavor with a hint of banana. There is also some acidity to give it some dryness at the finish. Good balance between sweet and dry with a medium mouth feel. Excellent!

(*´~*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- I got Kurobe Pincer from Hayashi Sake Brewery in Toyama Prefecture 😀. I asked the lady at the store to recommend a new arrival, and since Hayashi was not yet available, I bought a bottle of Kurobe Pincer from the same brewery 😚. The aroma is not so much but a little peachy 🍑? It is fresh on the palate with a gentle sweetness and rice flavor 🌾😋 It is a delicious sake that finishes with a bit of an alkali aftertaste 😆👍✨.

I look forward to Toyama hiyaoroshi every year 😊. I chose Kurobe Gorge this year as well 😆. This year may be different from previous years⁉️. The aroma is sweet and rummy. The taste is less fruity and sweeter and calmer than usual 🤔. Sweet and calm 🤔. Surprisingly, there is no alcohol taste. It is easy to drink and the 270ml is gone in no time. It will be gone soon!

It was a gift at the beginning of the year. I remember drinking it for the first time last year and it was very tasty. This year is no different, with a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that goes well with refreshing food. (Today, I had kamaboko as a snack.) Japanese sweets made with azuki beans would also go well with this drink! I hope we can drink it again next year!

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

Japanese>English

Had this special high grade sake from Oujiman brewery. It has a 6% rice polishing ratio!! I loved its mellow fruity notes and a elegantly clean finishing, it keeps tempt you to drink it. I'll definitely buy this again next time.

I drank it in a wine glass. As written, it has a strong aroma of banana and melon, and the melon aroma is very much present in the mouth. Later, I tried it hot, and it was very easy to drink, with a mellowness and sweetness that increased.

At home. I bought this as a souvenir when I enjoyed lunchtime drinking at Changlong Brewpark and had it at home. I guess it is a slightly different version of the one I had at lunch. The aroma may be influenced by the name of bamboo ⁉️.... Unlike the lunchtime drink, it was fresh, sweet, sour, and refreshing. The fact that I was able to bring back a good one as a souvenir made my day more enjoyable and memorable... ‼️ The fourth picture is of Kaguya-chan, the mascot of Hiroryo Town.

Japanese>English

At Changlong Brewpark. The second drink was Shikisaki. We were told that it is recommended as a food sake, so we had it with our bento. It is a dry sake with a strong umami flavor that can be savored slowly. It has a completely different taste from the Sakurabito we had earlier, and is good for variety. ‼️ We got tipsy and bought some souvenirs for our holiday.

Japanese>English

Dry with a hint of flavor. Almost room temperature at the beginning of the drink. No sweetness whatsoever! But it's not hard to drink. I don't know if this is a good analogy, but I drink it as a very light shochu. It's meant to be a sipping drink, but it goes into your body quickly! The second day starts with a cold sake. On the back of the label, it says it's a little dry. Perhaps because it is an unpasteurized sake, it doesn't have a strong alcoholic flavor, but it does have a bitter aftertaste and a tongue-tickling sensation. It may not be suitable for those who don't like the dry taste.

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.
