First time drinking outside in a while, and the second drink was ayu - ‼️ This was also the first time I had this. The aroma is gorgeous and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced. I thought that ayu (sweetfish) was the ultimate in dryness, but it was easy to drink and I liked it.

My first ayu masamune! I've never had it before 💡. Refreshing, refreshing, and oicy ❕. It was delicious!

Golden Week Car Overnight Stay From Minamiuonuma City via Tsunan Town, we arrived at an atmospheric thatched warehouse. 　While listening to various stories, we were allowed to drink the brewing water that springs from inside the brewery. The water was sweet, soft, and clean, and it would definitely make delicious sake! 　This sake is low in alcohol and has a very pleasant, elegant sweetness and acidity, like a dessert wine. 　Once you start drinking it, you will not stop. We enjoyed it very much 👍 I bought it at the brewery.

How would you like another round of strangling? Gorin appeared on the menu. The concept of this sake is to be served during a meal, and it is certainly modest. Mild compared to Tengumai. Probably, it is not a Yamahai sake. Serve with warm sushi with milt or conger eel.

Japanese>English

It has a moderate acidity and a good mouthfeel❗️It is a sake with a high quality umami feeling (^^) It is good as a sake for eating 😁.

I shared my partner's order at Tsuji Shuhan's sake tasting space in Yamanaka Onsen. It's dry and refreshing. It seems to go well with any kind of food. Personally, I preferred the Tedorigawa that I chose.

I saw it in a sake shop and bought it at a convenience store....well...the aroma, a slightly sour sweet sake aroma...the taste is also sweet sake...the aftertaste is junmai sake...I guess I would drink it as it is...? It's a bit too much for a food sake.... It's easy to drink, but ....

(oˆ罒ˆo)🍶🍶🍶🍶 The third bottle of the Kyokugori Festival was Ozeki's Yumemiru Hitsuji🐑 opened 😀. The aroma is mild 😁The mouthfeel is smooth even though it is nigori 😊The sweetness and umami of the gentle rice 🌾 is good👍The middle part has a lactic acid taste 😚The aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink 😘. I think it is the best one-cup nigori that you can drink whenever you want 🥳.

慎ますますます. Ozeki Junmai Nigorizake Yumemiru Hitsuji is the first ✨. It's not too sweet, and it's one you can drink a lot. It is delicious.

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 💓.

Japanese>English

Delicious! Light and easy to drink. It is sweet and has little bitterness. Easy to recommend to people who don't like sake.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu bought at Chapinstow, London. It is a raw sake. It has a dry taste. Unpatseurised sake. Unpatseurised sake. Dry taste. Weak smell and aroma, you can feel the taste if alcohol. 3.5/5 ✖️ don't buy again: it's a welcome change from the softer Junmai Daiginjo we usually have, but it isn't my favourite.

〰fixture Association Yeast No. 601 🌾Weighing: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture 2021/03 The umami of rice, which is typical of junmai, comes in softly. The astringent bitterness comes quickly. The bitterness is quite bitter.

Japanese>English

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

Then we have the Jun Dai on the left side. This one has a nice fluffy ginjo aroma, as is typical of jun-dai. The mouthfeel is light and sweet, and the acidity changes to a nice sourness in the mouth. It's kind of elegant! Thank you for the sake!

Next is Golden Crane When I ask the locals on Sado Island what sake they drink, almost everyone answers, "Kintsuru. Almost all of them answer, "Kintsuru. It is the most major sake on Sado Island. Light and dry! Shakiness that is a model of Niigata sake. What is noteworthy is its transparency! There is no unpleasant feeling of brewing alcohol, so it is so easy to drink that it is almost like water. It is so easy to drink that it almost feels like water. It is a delicious and scary yuzu.
