Quite, simple alcohol.

Pleasantly classic sake 😆. I had it cold, but it might taste better warmed up 🧐.

Japanese>English

Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.

この蔵のお酒は初めて飲みます😊 香りはフルーティーで良い感じです❗️ 甘さと酸味のバランスが良く程よい苦味でスッキリ飲めます‼️ 派手さは無いけど、安心して飲める味わいのお酒でした👍

Genuine Sake (Normal Sake) Aizu Inshu ✨ The first cup of our annual New Year's sake 😆. Mellow, a little bit spicy 😳, good for warming up. Mellowed with Aizu's famous squid carrots 🦑🥕 ☺️ Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20240106

Japanese>English

Normal sake The umami and acidity cling to the palate as you sip. It is a perfect match with Kitakata Ramen (soy sauce). More umami and sweetness. It was a very satisfying lunchtime Chinese drink 🎉. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aikizuna @ Jujo 20230108

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (2) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. It was my first time to try Hakonezan! This is the spiciest sake in the group. It is a dry ginjo-shu as you might imagine, but it is moderately rich and very good as a mid-meal drink. Of course, it goes well with ingredients as they are, but it also goes well with dishes that have been added, such as those using dashi (Japanese soup stock)!

Japanese>English

Fruity and easy to drink!

Japanese>English

It is a dry and refreshing sake. It has a robust Junmai-like feel, but the aftertaste disappears quickly.

Purchased on the way back from the fairy tale road Classic sake, slightly sweet. This is delicious!

Japanese>English

Mutenzo of Tachibanakura Shuzo, which we visited during our Saku Sake brewery tour in GW. My wife bought it as a souvenir. It is sweet and delicious. The sweetness is still there, but it is not too strong, and the spiciness finishes it off. Delicious.

Price 1518 yen tax included Rice polishing ratio 55 100% Nishito no Shizuku Alcohol level 15 degrees A faint sweet aroma with a light acidity in the aftertaste brings out the beautiful flavor of this rice. It goes well with food. Secretly, it is the Urasatouka.

When I went to Yamaguchi on business before, I brought back a bottle of sake I'd never had before, just for the sake of it. Yamatohka: Sake made with rice from the Saito Shizuku Sake made with Yamaguchi's sake rice, Saito no Shizuku Taneda Yamatohka was born in Hofu and once lived in Ogori (around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). (Around Shin-Yamaguchi station now?). Looks a little yellow. It's a little yellow in color. It's a little sour, but you can taste the rice. But you can taste the rice flavor, not sweet but tasty. This is delicious 😋. On the second day, it tasted even better 😋😋😋😋. The third one is a statue of Santoka in front of the station (a bit backlit)

Japanese>English

Sake from Yamaguchi Prefecture! I didn't know there was such a sake! Spicy from start to finish, but classy spiciness! Refreshing and exquisitely sweet! Delicious 👍!

Junmai Nama Nama Sake 🍶 Shiboritate✨. Refreshing✨, clean but sweet 😆. Beautiful sake. I had it with baby squid boiled 🦑😋. The sea and @Takadanobaba 20230421

Japanese>English

I found a sake tasting place near Yamagata Station. I didn't know such a place existed. I found one in Niigata before. I wonder if there is one in each prefecture. The taste is light, dry, and refreshing. The aftertaste is short and sharp. You can also taste the umami of the rice.

Japanese>English

At a soba restaurant near Yamagata Station when I returned home. They use water from Antarctic ice. It has a beautiful ginjo aroma. The taste is light and dry, with a crisp acidity. There is also a slight bitterness, and the taste may be quite complex.

Open the bottle❗️ Huh?　You're not well. There's a warning on the bottle, but... I poured it into a glass, but no bubbles came out. The taste isn't bad, but it's a bit bitter. The taste isn't bad, but it's a little bitter. This is... What's wrong with Kitajima Shuzo❗️?

20240427 Stable deliciousness(*^^*)Sweet and tasty slight bubbles 🍶. This is definitely delicious! Thank you very much!

Japanese>English

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

Japanese>English

🥂 Fresh and gorgeous aroma 😌. Umami and acidity harmoniously spread in the mouth 🤤. It was a very delicious junmai namaishu 👍

This sake was tasted along with the Junmai Ginjo I posted earlier. We were there when the store opened on the first day of tasting and sales, so all the sakes were unsealed, so we were able to sample them in fresh condition. I recommend going on Wednesday when the store opens 😆. It is Rokumaru with 60% rice polishing ratio. It is the same as Shinomine. It has more richness and umami than Junmai Ginjo. It is suitable for warming up.

Japanese>English

A little bitterness on the nose and bitterness on the tongue. It tastes a bit like old-fashioned sake. However, it goes well with boiled fish. It is like a flavorful addition to fish. It would have been nice to have some local fish, but since we were drinking at home...

Japanese>English

Junmai-shu made from "Strong" sake rice, a sake rice produced only in Tottori Prefecture, with a milling ratio of 75%. Tottori's fantastic revived rice "Strong" is made into sake in the traditional way of sake brewing, utilizing the power of nature. It has a beautiful acidity and warms up when heated.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival. Sake Hiroba. The difference from previous events is that the whole town of Saijo is drinking from noon 😅. There is no way that the already drunk people would come on time for the 17:00 start time 🙄. The Sake Hiroba venue got more and more crowded as time went by🤣. Sake 🍶. This sake 🍶 is a first for me 👀. It has a slight yellow tinge and a slight alcohol taste. Light sweetness, peanut🥜 type sweetness. A sake I thought had an old-fashioned finish 🍶. *The second picture is the label I put on myself at the labeling corner for the commemoration of my visit: 🏷️🤣

Japanese>English

The aroma is subdued. It goes down the palate as softly as water, without insisting on much, and passes down the throat refreshingly and cleanly. It is just like a conductor who silently nurtures young people.

Japanese>English

☆☆☆ I had some errands to run after the night shift, so I went out to the central part of the prefecture. I wanted to drink nigori after a long time So I stopped by a sake shop. I was interested in the mountains, but I was still intrigued by I was intrigued by the mountainous area, but I was also intrigued by the maniacal local sake 😊✌️ Tempura from the usual fish cake shop for snacks! I bought jako and cheese 🐟🧀! #Genshu Sake Brewery #Limited edition #Nagori Sake #Nagori Sake #Newly Stored Unblended Sake #Cold sake #20% alcohol #Tottori
