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. ‼️

( -̀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.

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!

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.

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...

(*^^^^^+) 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)

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

Tangy, pungent acidity, harsh feeling Dry But it is drinkable with a light, refreshing rice flavor
