I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir. I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna. I thought it was probably a local luxury sake. It was a very tasty and elegant sake.

Japanese>English

The mild taste makes it easy to drink. The aroma that lingers in the nose afterward is gorgeous but not habitual, so it can be enjoyed with sashimi and other ingredients without interfering with their flavors. I enjoyed it with Hachinohe mackerel pâté. It was a good combination.

Japanese>English

Gorgeous aroma. A mild mouthfeel. After a hint of sweetness, alcohol and a light bitterness come in. Goes well with salty snacks.

West's sake is good to warm up. The label is cool, too. The rice flavor stays the same until the end. It's delicious.

Japanese>English

Sweetness and clear flavor per se. The aftertaste is rather mild.

Now, what's the fourth bottle? Rice polishing ratio 60%. 100% Yamada Nishiki. It has a subtle aroma, a light bitterness, and a good sharpness. Serve with charcoal grilled peaches.

Junmai sake with a new sensation. It has a sweetness of rice and a slight sourness that you have never had before. It has a peculiar taste. The taste is quite light, good for sake beginners? The alcohol content is 9 degrees, perfect for tasting with a meal, snacks, or something else. If anything, it is dry.

Looks like it would be good hot. I drank it cold 🤭. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Rice used: Sasanishiki, Dewa Kirari, and Miyamanishiki grown in Yamagata Prefecture. I found this in a grab bag at a liquor store in my neighborhood, which has become a regular feature for me. It's not a great deal in terms of price, but I look forward to it because it contains brands that I don't usually buy. This one has the sourness that is typical of a traditional sake brewery, but when you drink it lightly, it is refreshing, and as you continue to drink it, the sweetness comes slowly. As the day goes by, the sweetness will increase even more. The sharpness is not that great, but it is not overpowering either, making it a good all-around sake. The price is less than 1,000 yen without tax, but I️ think it's quite competent.

Koshihikari is used. A little sweetness from the hit. The aftertaste is smooth.

Japanese>English

I've been sober for a few days, but I've lifted the ban. Is it the limited sake prepared for the Niigata Sake Festival? The usual brand is called "Tenjinbayashi". It has a juicy and rich sweet taste. It has a sweet taste that is not like Niigata sake. It is not fruity and the aroma is a bit quirky. It may be different for each taste. It is sweet, but it has a chunky sweetness...

Japanese>English

100% Koshitanrei, 50% polished rice, 15% alcohol by volume The flavor of rice is robust, with a strong alcohol taste and a traditional feel. When heated, it becomes sweet and goes well with miso.

Hitomebore. A store exclusive, I guess. As is typical of this sake brewery, the richness of the umami flavor is in harmony with the mild sweetness and extends smoothly.

A trip to visit a brewery. We went to Kurikoma, the hometown of the person who helped us. We visited our favorite brewery, Senda Sake Brewery in Okutsuru Kurikoma Mt. According to the young master, even weak drinkers can be satisfied, so we bought this one. We will drink it from now on.

Japanese>English

Kurikomayama, a famous sake from Miyagi. A gift from her sister. It is crisp and light with a hint of acidity. It is delicious!

Japanese>English

Gin no Iroha is my favorite sake rice. It has a subtle aroma and a dry taste, and the acidity at the end makes it easy for drinkers to enjoy. My son drank more and more and left. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

This is my first time in Kumi no Ura. I've only seen it at Isetan Kyoto. It has a fruity aroma, light and refreshingly sweet. It seems to be popular among women. It is different from the impression on the label.

Japanese>English

I drank Kumi no Ura a long time ago, but it made little impression on me. I tried to remember it well this time, but my memory is not so good in this area😅. I think it was dry and refreshing, made with Koshihikari rice.

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a dry sake with a very thick core flavor and a lot of graininess! If you like strong dry sake, this is the one for you! I was traumatized because I was surrounded by jellyfish when I jumped into Kumihama from the wharf a long time ago. Thank you very much!

Next up, on to Keitoh! Unlike the previous Kutouryuu, the sweetness is gone and the dryness has shifted. It resets the oiliness with a refreshing light dryness that is typical of Niigata👍. It has great potential as a food sake!

It is that time of year again! This year's Mr. Summer Time was a grand presentation event, inviting circus members to the Kanmei Sake Brewery for a mini-concert of sorts. I couldn't go, though. The aroma of this year's product is a little subdued. I like that mewashi aroma, though. The mouthfeel is strong and dark, and the harmony of umami and sweetness is wonderful! It is a departure from the low-alcohol, light summer sake style, and is more like a munchy, dirty summer night. Despite the strong flavor, the sharpness of the sake is very refreshing, so it is easy to drink. Of all the summer liquors, this one is my favorite. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Japanese>English

A drink with Hoya, rejoicing in the daily medal rush! Hmm! Am I eating nothing but sea squirts every week? No, no, no, no. Summer in Sendai is all about morning hoya! Summer sake from my favorite brewery, Kanbai! I'll have to drink it! The Kamidachi aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, but it's moist and calm, very nice! The aroma of Kanbai's sake is so nice! It is the top of my favorite. It has a fruity sweetness, a chasing acidity, and a pleasant aroma with a sweet, sour and bitter aroma. The bitterness and the faint acidity make it a perfect beer. A true adulterous love for adults! It's so good! Thank you for the meal!

Japanese>English

It is easy to drink and tastes delicious with a modest sweetness while retaining the fine sweet bitterness sensation of Miyaganbai! The subtle bitterness and gentle lingering taste is sexy 😊.
