Cold: Good aroma, sweet on the palate with a dry finish. Served at the Cannes International Film Festival Japan Night. I ordered a set of sake comparison set from Furusato Tax and received it immediately.

Smooth and sweet. Bit of almond.

Firm, soft sweetness that spreads on the palate. Delicious (Laughs)

First encounter since the change from Fukuhime at the Hakata Station event. The first sniff was like a sacred wine But I didn't mind from the second sniff. The taste is more modern, but I could feel a little alcohol. Since it's a nokumi, it's very exciting to see how it will change from here.

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.

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

I bought this while I was in Tokyo. It's been a long time since I've had doburoku! They also sold mandarin oranges, but I drank them last year, so I just went with the regular one: ‼️ I don't think it has much aroma. It has a sushuwasuwa feeling on the palate and the sweetness of the rice is typical of doburoku... and the fruity acidity makes it drinkable as much as you want. ☝️ Rice juice is as tasty as ever: ❤️ The alcohol content is low, so you don't get drunk even if you drink a whole bottle! I made it to go with stewed tomatoes and it went perfectly 😉. I wish they would sell this in a larger capacity! I would really drink this by itself like drinking a bottle of beer... 🍺.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. I found an undrinkable Masamune at "TABI BAR & CAFE SUZUVEL" 😆. It is a Masamune brewed by Obata Shuzo, famous for Manotsuru. It has a mineral aroma 😳. Clean herbal mouthfeel 🌿. The aroma is so rich that the sensation of sake fades 🫥. Rice flavor🌾 masks the sweetness and acidity, and the ginjo aroma stimulates the nose. It leaves a slight bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste🙄. It was a new drinking experience with a unique flavor 🤗. How cool to "speak without speaking" 🤩. I thought I should come up with a catchphrase like "Nice Masamune without talking about it" ❓🤣. Nice Masamune👍

Japanese>English

Finally opened a bottle of sake I bought in Otaru the year before last. It is delicious with a soft, sweet mouthfeel, followed by a beautiful acidity that leaves a clean aftertaste of umami and acidity.

Sashimi: tuna, kipper, octopus, and omelet. The proprietress I saw on Kazuhiko Ota's TV show seemed a bit scary, but she was very friendly and talked to me moderately 😆. Dokyu Sanshiro @ Asahikawa 20231202

Japanese>English

I was attracted to it when I heard it was Asahikawa, so I tried it. I was told that it is easy to drink cold or warmed, but I had it warmed. It looks like a honjozo. Asahikawa, or rather the Oenon Group, is a widely used alcohol manufacturer.

The fifth "Masamune Shibari" cup Juichi-Masamune Sakura Yeast Original Sake This is my first time to drink Masamune. The aroma is rich and sweet with brown sugar. On the palate... I knew it. ❗️ It's a little bit sweet, but not too sweet 👍.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown There seem to be several different cup designs. This sake is sweet and spicy, and has a "sake smell" in a good way. There is nothing sharp about it, and it is perfect for an evening drink. ❗️ I don't dislike it. 86th sake in a cup

Japanese>English

It's a hydrangea cup from Juichi Masamune😃I like the Showa feel 🎵.

A beautiful sweetness spreads in the mouth. After that, it's dry, to say the least. I like this sweetness. It is not persistent. 88 points Sweetness: 3.4 Acidity: 2.4 Dryness:3 Hinted aroma:3.1

(Sequel) Six people drinking together, no matter how much sake you have, it's never enough (lol), so we rushed to a store selling Kochi sake in the basement of the antenna store to consult with the owner. The friendly owner suggested this one when I told him my budget and preferences. It has a beautiful, cool label, and the taste is light, yet refreshing. Of course, it is perfect for Kochi cuisine👍.

Sweet and Fruity. Not much other memories, for record purpose.

I enjoyed the cool sour taste. The aroma is a refreshing "rice"🌾 At first sip, it has more punch than I expected but it is pleasant. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sharpness is delicious✨. The light nigori also makes you feel cooler It makes me feel more cool Tomoka Imamura, the female toji of Wakaha Shuzo tweeted that she paired it with cheese. I also paired it with Kili's cream cheese. I can't wait to try it out! I also want to drink Wakanami TYPE-FY2 I want to drink it.

Japanese>English

I bought this Akatombo at Kado-Yasan in October. I kept it in a safe place, but I opened a bottle today. It's really good! It's sweet all the time while rolling it around in your mouth, but when you finish it, the sourness stands out and you can feel some bitterness at the end. It's a taste I like.

Japanese>English

This this this! Banana🍌 aroma 😆 My favorite Wakanami's sake smells like bananas! Yummai! Mildness like hiyaoroshi! It tastes like banana🍌 and grape🍇 ! No bitter aftertaste, so it's a little bit sad 😂.

Refill! Aromatic smell. The aromatic mouthfeel has a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and umami. Although it is rich and has an alcohol content of 19%, there is no taste that sticks to you while drinking it, so you can drink it easily and be satisfied. It is delicious.

Japanese>English

Cream, aged smell. The wine has a matured taste, but it is in harmony with the sweetness and is not hard to drink. Full-bodied, umami, stimulated by alcohol and acidity, it is refreshing yet tasty with a strong flavor! I hear that the raw sake smells even better!

Japanese>English

Naohiko Noguchi Institute I wanted to try. Smells like caramel and grain. It has a dry, drinkable, honey-like sweetness, a strong flavor, powerful acidity, and a clean aftertaste with enough stimulation to numb the tongue. Delicious. Impact like a whiskey. The official recommendation is to drink it lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius). The warmer it is, the less stimulating it is. It is a great match for fish, and the fish becomes twice as good with the support. I should have bought another kind. Second day. The second day was also good.
