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.

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!

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.

(oˆ罒ˆo)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today was the first time I had the Night Emperor, which I bought in Hiroshima Station when I was in Hiroshima City on business 😋. Tanabata 🎋✨🍧 on July 7. The local sky is about to cry 😭I entrusted the Milky Way to Yoru no Teio 😊. When you pour it into your cup, it's amber like a mass of flavor 💛When you drink it, it's still a great flavor 😚👍The aftertaste is very sharp, and it makes your drink go down 😘. Wish on a strip of paper 🌟🙏🙏. I wish for good health and lots of delicious sake💕. I hope so 🥳.

The fifth glass was to your first Imperial 👑. The aroma is light and fruity, like peaches. The palate is smooth, with a well-balanced taste of sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent. The taste is balanced between sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent. The clean quality of the sake allows it to be enjoyed quickly and without habit!

Tasting at Shirayuki (5) Sake priced at 6050 yen for 4 gou 😳 The best sake in Hakusetsu's regular lineup. Slightly floral. Sweeter than the Victory Horse. It is a raw sake, so I felt it was thicker.

Tasting at Shirayuki (3) Sake often seen at Aeon and ●Maya. I had been passing it by because it was easy to obtain 😅. I think it lacks a little bit of umami, but it's delicious with just the right amount of gorgeousness and sweetness.

Yesterday we went to Bicchu Matsuyama and Kibi Tsu! We were worried about rain, but it was really fortuitous that it shifted and we saw some sunshine. The view over the magnificent stone walls and town at the top of the mountain was exceptional ✨. Then we visited the Kibitsu Shrine, with its long corridor and historic appearance. The long corridor and historic appearance of the Kibitsu Shrine that we visited afterwards was truly heartwarming 🍑. After exploring, we crossed the Seto Inland Sea and drank a glass of Kibi-shu 🍶. When you open the bottle, you will find a deep aroma of nuts and chestnuts. The mouthfeel is slippery and dry. It is full-bodied with a punch of acidity and astringency, as well as a full-bodied rice flavor. It has a presence like nuts and bitter chocolate. However, the stimulation of the hot, acidic, and astringent taste tightens it up like a whip, and it has a good salty taste with a firm edge!

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?

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.

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 😓.

January 1, 2024 A party at my parents-in-law's house. The second bottle is my brother-in-law's choice, Shijikizuru. The second bottle was my brother-in-law's choice. It is light and dry, but also has a soft umami flavor. It has a soft umami taste. It soaks into your body like water in a good sense. It is a sake that penetrates the body like water. It is best suited for eating during a meal. Delicious with fatty yellowtail sashimi. I enjoyed it with yellowtail sashimi and other I enjoyed it with fatty yellowtail sashimi.

At a sushi restaurant owned by a friend of mine. We enjoyed nigiri-zushi, dried hokke (hokke) overnight, and other seasonal delicacies. There were many Niigata sake that the owner directly sources from Niigata, and we had a bottle of the highly recommended Shimehari-zuru. I had tasted the sake before, but the taste was so delicious that it changed my impression of the sake. The aroma was fruity, and when you put it in your mouth, it was sweet and tasty with a refreshing sharpness. The warmth of the proprietor and proprietress made for an enjoyable time.

Rice used is Hidahomare This sake has a rich, dry taste that is typical of junmai sake. It is smooth on the palate, but the sense of rice spreads immediately, followed by a strong pungent and astringent taste. The aftertaste is also long and powerful. It is a sake that is very drinkable and can be served with strong dishes.

Hida Takayama, Sake Brewery Nonbei Festival The third restaurant is Hirase Sake Brewery of "Kusudama". This place is a little far from the old streets. You can see the chimney in the back, but the site looks spacious. The store inside is only for sake tasting and sales, so it is only for customers who are looking for sake. Let's take a look at the sake tasting. Well, it has a mild taste and goes down softly and smoothly. It is delicious. It's amazing that it has been in business for 400 years, isn't it?

We bought it at Shiramizu Sake Shop in Takaramachi, Kasuga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The owner was very kind and explained a lot about sake, and when I told him I prefer fruity sake, he recommended this sake. When I asked him about the meaning of "oishu", he told me that it means to store new sake at a low temperature for a long time. It was a good learning experience. It stung me because I like it sweet. Thank you to the owner who introduced me to this delicious sake.

The rice used is Hakutsuru Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is gorgeous and very elegant. The balance between sweetness and fresh citrus bitterness is just right. This sake is very good and makes the sake cups go up and up. Under 2,000 yen for this specs and this deliciousness may be a bargain. It was delicious. ❣️

I bought it because it was in Hankyu. I've had a sake called "Kaga no Tsuki no Niji" before, but I wonder if the contents are the same. It is thin and cloudy. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a light pineapple flavor. The second half is quite pungent. There is something gentle in the mouthfeel that is unique to saké squeezed in a bag, isn't there?

I used only ayu (sweetfish) for this dish. I also served bonito and Spanish mackerel tataki with a lot of myoga. It has a slightly high alcohol content and sweetness for a Niigata sake, so it went well with the ayu fish, bonito and Spanish mackerel. It was a good evening drink.

Local liquor store on the line... ♪ Fruity flavor and a slight effervescence. Highly recommended for those who want a little sweet nigori! I heard that it is a very good choice for those who want to drink a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. I had to try it! I bought it in a hurry: ‼️ After returning home, I opened the bottle slowly, little by little. The white ooze that had accumulated at the bottom of the bottle danced and danced like snow every time air entered the bottle. Dancing. Dancing. And then, the taste is just as delicious as I imagined, and I dance, too.
