Full-bodied dry taste. The bitterness is backed by a strong rice flavor. It is delicious!

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❗️?

Hitorijime" 🍶 which I received as a free gift. A perfect balance of umami and bitterness 😋. It's been a long time since I've had a good time at Mishiroei, I'm satisfied with it. ‼️

Rich aroma. The first sip is sweet, yet you can taste the weight of the flavor, which is conveyed firmly down the throat. It is just like a fishing rod being pulled.

We went to the Visitor Center of Akashi Sake Brewery~. We had the B set (500 yen) of paid tasting at the restaurant. Junmai Ginjo-genshu Hukunohana and Gohyakumangoku. And the spirits Nori Spi. The seaweed spice was terrible. It was clear and colorless, but it was a black seaweed-flavored liquid (laugh). After the tasting, I brought back Fucunohana. It is said to taste like wasanbon. Wasanbon is often used to describe sake. I have never consciously eaten it. I wonder how it tastes. I will have it with cold sake. Oh, I see~! It is an elegant sweetness. I am sure this is the taste of wasanbon~! There is no fruity feeling. Rather, it has an exaggeratedly seaside atmosphere. I think it goes well with seafood dishes. I was surprised at the bill for this bottle! What a surprise! If you buy the sake you tasted, you get your guts back for the tasting fee. It was a great deal!

( -̀ᴗ-́ ) ̖́-🍶🍶🍶🍶 Sake Marche 2023 Part 2 We had sake from Kuze Sake Brewery, the closest sake brewery to my parents' house 😋. Amber-colored Daiginjo ✨with a rich rice flavor😊It's a traditional sake 😚👍It has a robust flavor, but the aftertaste disappears quickly😇. I felt like it was a sake to be enjoyed by itself and sipped slowly 🥳.

GW in Kanazawa! At the Kanazawa Sake Brewery in Kanazawa Station, we came across a dream machine that allowed us to sample sake for 100 or 300 yen (P.S.) Naturally, we took the challenge. The description said it was dry, but I prefer raw sake, so I chose this one. I tasted it thinking it might be a fruity type, but it was a clear dry sake that would go well with sashimi and other dishes. I appreciate free tastings, but I feel somewhat guilty about it, so this kind of reasonably priced tasting is very helpful and encourages me to try different kinds. I tasted three other types of sake here, and all of them seemed dry to me. I have an image that Ishikawa's sake is basically dry.

Japanese>English

Alcoholic beverages sent through crowdfunding I think I prefer it to the other bottle, Jungin, because it has a more pronounced sense of maturity.

Purchased at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival. Mellow rice flavor. Slightly dry but not too dry. It is delicious with some acidity. Mellow umami? Mellow and dry? A kind of type. It has a classical atmosphere, but I think it is more sweet than spicy.

Japanese>English

It's like water, clear and dry. No sweetness at all. No mercy!

(*^^^^^+) Today, my sister sent me 1/5 I got a bottle of Kanbei from Meijo Shuzo 😀. As the label says, it's light and dry. It's a great sake to drink with food. It's a good sake to pair with food 😎Thanks sis✨.

Japanese>English

It is light and dry but slightly sweet and delicious. I can drink this as much as I want😄.

Japanese>English

Sake Brewer : Meijo Shuzo Place of Origin : Toyofuji-cho, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture Content : 300ml Price : about 450 yen Rice polishing ratio: 73% Alcohol percentage: 13 Pairing : Stir-fried komatsuna and thick fried tofu with aged soybean paste (hot and thick) The aroma is crisp but gorgeous. It has a slightly long bitter taste that is heavy at first and lingers on the palate. It is a small sip, but if you drink it heavily, it is bitter and you may not like it... As soon as it hits your tongue, you feel a little bit of sweetness and a thin lingering bitterness... If you like sake that is crisp and has a short aftertaste... You may not like it... If you want to match it with food, I feel that you have to fight it with tempura and other dishes with strong flavors such as salt or boiled vegetables... If the food is light in flavor... I think this sake might make it hard to taste the food... Personally, I feel it's like shochu (it's a freshly stored sake)... On the other hand, people who enjoy the richness of sweetpotato shochu might enjoy it... Personally, I prefer a refreshing type... Overall rating C (S-D)

January 9th New Year's party at Kakiya with 15 local guys🎊. 1) Tongjun 2) Kameman The review will be summarized in 2.

Japanese>English

What a wonderful time on a weekday at noon. It has a clean taste, but the aroma of rice is very strong. Although it is said to be mild, it is a sake with a lot of body.

Japanese>English

Limey rice aroma. When you drink it, you can enjoy the aroma of ripe grains. Rice flavor. If you say it tastes like a little bit of rice, it tastes like a little bit of rice. But it's moderately friendly. It is classic, but the acidity is just right, and the finish is smooth. It has a light umami taste. Taste level 3.5/5
