Lactic acidity, ripe aroma. Sweet mature feeling in the mouth, marron, unrefined sugar, caramel, mellow to cohesive, pleasant alcohol after going to the back of the tongue. Does the bitterness come? Does the alcohol taste come? And it ends up without either of them asserting themselves. I wonder if the advanced Kembishi is even more impressive. The bottle looks shining after drinking. The flavor spreads out very well when it is warmed. The umami stimulates the tongue and the bitterness is mellow. Delicious. tongue-tied

Japanese>English

Rich, umami taste. Slightly golden color. When served cold, it has a mellow flavor as if you were eating rice. When heated, it has a soft and soft flavor. Sake that can be drunk without snacks. I like this sake.

Japanese>English

This is the second day in a row of Kenrishi. Yesterday, I drank it at room temperature, but today, I drank it heated! I'm going to work tomorrow, but I'm not going to stop drinking it. Regular kenrishibai is the best in terms of cost performance, but when it is heated up, it has an umami flavor that is hard to describe. Thank you, Mr. Kenshyo, for everything! You can raise the price more: ☺️

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.

Smells of rum, grapes, apple pie. Slightly carbonated, astringent, hard water, rumney, apple, bitter flavor, turns into a beautiful drink, slightly sweet and bitter. It is delicious. You can drink as much as you want while chewing octopus.

Japanese>English

At home. It is still delicious Kaze no Mori. It is characterized by the "swoop" when you open the bottle and the tingling sensation on the tip of your tongue when you put it in your mouth. The aroma is of ramune, and the taste is of ramune and slightly young melon. It's a gem that will change your view of the world of sake. There are so many kinds of sake that you will always be confused about what to drink.

Japanese>English

It's a fire-infused sake. Like champagne. The schwa-piti feeling. Beautiful sweetness. A Bridge to the World. The name of the company is not a household name.

Purchased at the Tsujun Sake Brewery where we stopped by after seeing the Tsujun Bridge. The taste is neither spicy nor sweet, and is easy to pair with a variety of things. Is it the lack of insistence?

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

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.

(*´~*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- 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 😆👍✨.

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!

It seems to be a limited distribution product from the same brewery as Bunkajin! It has a refreshing ramune like aroma, sweet and sour flavors, juicy and deep 😋.

Akebono. Encore. Fresh and smooth flavor from around the first sip. The richness of the flavor comes in the mid-palate, and the spicy accent on the back palate.

Pampakapa~n📯. Here we come, J&N 600 check-in: ‼️ The Tochigi sake rate at 500 CI was 20%, but after that, the rate went up to 31% with only 100 bottles until 600 CI⤴️ I think the comparison of Sentori renewal was effective after all👍And so, it jumped to #2 after Shinsei in the Sake-no-wa ranking, right? Amazing‼️ The number one is SENKOURI 🤗...but let's continue with the "buy one you've never had before" 😊The commemorative bottle was chosen by "TAMAKA" 🤗. I've been curious about this one from Watanabe Shuzo in Kyokko for a while! I'll make love to you! Slightly yellow color 😌. The first sip is a bit astringent and delicious 🧐 with a robust flavor and a tight acidity 😋. I'm going to try this one! I'm sure this is his cue 🤔"Yamada-kun, bring me the one I was talking about" "ha~yayakuma~" So, here we are at Nonbee Yokocho😙. I knew it was the heated sake 🍶! The name "J&N Sake no Wawa" means "sake that tastes good heated". I'm sure you'll both feel the warmth 🤗Sasukechi here! Yes, it's already delicious from the aroma 😋...take a sip...😍you can't help but grin 🤭I'm in a great mood 🥹! If it's over 30%, it's top-notch! I love Tochigi 🥰!

This is the wrong brand it’s from Tochigi from Hokkan. The cheapest sake in Donquixote in Bangkok and so very smooth and balanced at medium chill. It’s actually very close to water.
