After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

Japanese>English

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

First Bishio. It has a clear, apple-like sweet flavor that quickly fades away with a slight bitterness. In general, the taste is clean and cohesive, as is typical of 50% polished wines.

Although it's not stated on the label, the rice polishing ratio is 65%, the sake level is -13, and the rice is Hatsushimo. It is very sour. It is very sour, and has a strong personality even among sake made with white koji. This sourness is like Niwa-shu or Bodai-gan. I heard that there was a limited edition of this sake, but I'm curious.

Japanese>English

I drank it hot. I think dry sake tastes best when heated.

At home. Cui Yu after a long time. It's more elegant and refined than Hanayup... Hmmm, I have the impression that it has been generalized. The aroma is green apple, the sweetness and sourness are well balanced, and the finish is sharp, so you can't help but drink too much. On the middle day of the week, I drank a good sake to get through the rest of the week, and nourished my wisdom.

Japanese>English

The brewery is famous for its "Hanayuup. Compared to "Hanayuup", the aroma is mild. The aroma is mild. The sweetness is moderate. and the umami is as strong as the Hanamup. and it cuts cleanly. As a food sake, it is more versatile. I think it is more versatile as a food sake.

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild. The first sip is sweet, but gradually a gentle sweetness and moderate acidity spreads. The last part has a good spiciness and a nice sharpness. Although it is unfiltered, there is no heaviness, and it is smooth to the palate. After a few days of drinking, the sweetness has gone away and the acidity has risen, but it is also delicious. Hana Yuu is good, but Suiyu is as good as it gets.

Purchased at Kintetsu Department Store event, Sake Tour. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and was impressed with this one, so I bought it. Fresh and citrusy? It is sweet at the beginning, but the sweetness and umami come in the second half of the bottle. I have to admit that I've only seen Hyo Hyohi at department store events. Apparently, the brewery that makes the sake is in Awa City, which is different from the address on the label.

Japanese>English

Dry taste that goes well with chicken on the bone. It washes away the oil from the chicken. A quick sip with a cup of sake will reset your palate from the strong flavors of tsukune, kawa, liver, etc., and you will be ready for the next dish. You will be ready for the next dish in a flat state.

Yamada Nishiki. Gorgeous aroma. It has a light touch with a sharp spiciness behind.

🐳🌊 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...

Japanese>English

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.

🐟 This is the first ayu we tasted at the ski lodge. It was refreshing and sweet, and was a nice palate cleanser when drunk in the middle of a meal. It's a shame that I could only drink one cup of it. The label is cute too 🐟

Japanese>English

🌥 It was chilly today 😢. I opened a "first sweetfish" which is cool to look at ✌️. The taste is just like the impression on the label❗️ It's fresh, smooth and easy to drink 🙂. A cool sweetness that is elegant. As for the acidity, as you continue to drink it... oh, maybe there is a little? It's just a little bit. The bitterness you feel after swallowing is also refreshing 😆 . The alcohol content is 16 degrees, but it's like drinking a low alcohol I feel like I'm drinking low alcohol 😉 . It's like drinking a low-alcohol drink....

Japanese>English

This is the first sweetfish recommended by the liquor store 🐟. I bought it by the square because they say it's sweet and tasty this year✨. I had my wife drink it and it was sweet and easy to drink ‼️ 🍶.

I'm not feeling well, so I've been trying to cut back on my drinking, but a classmate from junior high school, who I haven't seen in a while, invited me out for a drink and I ended up having one. Oh well. I found a nice bottle of Naotora and had it. It's so good that I remember it tastes good even when I'm drunk. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, but the freshness is dominant and the flavor is good. Isn't the difference between it and the ordinary Naotora too drastic?

Japanese>English

I drink at a restaurant where young people seem to congregate. The owner, who says he is a big fan of Koyama Shoten, introduces us to some Koyama Shoten originals. Next to Tamitsu is Naotora. This is a brand that is not often drunk by individuals. So I can't compare this one with the regular version, but it was delicious. It was a little bit tangy.

Japanese>English

Another bottle opened for Valentine's Day🥂. It's been waiting in the fridge for a while. I'm a little worried... It's sweet and fruity with a strong flavor. But the bitterness afterwards is quite strong. ‼︎ And a little bit of hiney aroma... "The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and flavor is very popular. The harmony of fresh fermentation gas and umami is very popular". I was a bit disappointed in this one 😓.

Extra Party with Mr. Gura After the first party was over and the commemorative photo had been taken, we had a chance to drink the sake that Yum- san got at Hasegawa Sake Shop when he went to Edo (Tokyo). Sorry for those who went home early 🙏. Fresh and tender 😋! Thick and fresh 😻 I hope there will be another sake brewery in Osaka station 🤗. I heard they can only make fresh sake because they can't use fire due to fire laws because it's inside the station.

Japanese>English

Thank you for coming! Off-line meeting of Kansai Sakewa In front of the restaurant, right after the meeting with Mr. ☆Gra After the group photo was taken, we were talking in front of the store, and Uma Uma Uma-san served us some Tokyo souvenirs 😆. Tokyo Station Sake Brewery Peach Doburoku! A very rich peach with a smooth taste. The peach flavor is so strong that it doesn't feel like doburoku at all 🤣. It was very tasty 🙏. Hasegawa Sake Brewery is brewing at Tokyo Station...they are doing a great thing with their brewery at echinakas (echinakas) 😳.

Japanese>English

Souvenir It took a while to open the bottle, but we managed to drink it during the meal. I was able to drink it during the meal. Easy to drink with no strange bitterness in the aftertaste. The taste is smooth and the fizz makes it It has a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. I drank 300ml in no time!
