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. ‼️

Refreshing, fruity and easy to drink. I drank it at room temperature, but it seems to go in more like water when it's cold.

( -̀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.

Refreshing ginjo aroma 😌. It was a local sake with a strong but refreshing alcohol taste that went well with a meal 🥂.

It's dry but also feels sweet.

Shonan, a mellow junmai ginjo that goes well with salty rice crackers. Sometimes, sake with such a gusto is also good. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15

Tonight, our first series of impactful jackets here 💁. It's Taxi Driver🚕🚕🚕🚕. It was shipped from the brewery in April this year, but what a H30BY (R0BY) and it's a 5 year aged sake 😆. The aroma of old sake, which also smells like Shaoxing wine, is in full swing from the moment the bottle is opened 🤣. It was served cold, but it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It would be good to drink it warmed up in the fall. ☺️ I wonder if it would go well with Chinese food since it has a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, and I'm going to research how to drink it based on other sakewa reviewers 💪. But it's a very intoxicating drink so I'll stop after one cup 😓.

Japanese>English

First drink. Weak fruity feeling that I didn't imagine from the label that has impact. But it is also full. There is a miscellaneous taste (my personal feeling) like the Yamahai brewing style with low rice polishing, but it is a moderate level, so I feel it is unique. It has just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my preference for sweetness. I enjoyed it with a plate of delicious sashimi (´ω).

Japanese>English

#Akasaka-mitsuke# I entered the second restaurant. This is a restaurant that was not there a few months ago. I wanted to try a drink from here at least once. Let's have it 😚. Slightly spicy? It has a little bit of a tune. I see 🤔 it tastes like this.

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.

50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

Japanese>English

After finishing the half marathon today...I drank it again and it was delicious...I knew it was Niigata sake, because it is undiluted, so it has a smooth, light and dry taste...it was delicious...I drank a lot of it at the party, but Niigata sake has a lot of potential...I felt it again...it is a very good sake...it is a very good sake...

Mellow sake 🍶. Nagano Ueda Railway Journey🚃Day 3 From Ueda, take the Ueda Dentetsu Bessho Line🚃 to Bessho Onsen (Bessho Hot Springs) ♨️ Lunch at the diner that was reflected in the setting of the 18th film Otoko wa Tsuraiyo. The aroma of the food was very strong. But it is sweet and gentle, not harsh. It has just the right amount of maturity. Goes well with Nozawana. It softens the salty taste of Nozawana. The chicken gizzard and boiled pork are also delicious 😋 I'm so glad I found a hidden gem restaurant 😆. Sanyuken @ Bessho Onsen 20240907
