This is the first jacket I've ever seen with shurikens 💠. It's so sharp, it's called "super dry"! I thought it would be pretty grueling, but it was 20 degrees alcohol😇.

At terra, Jimbocho Limited Yamadanishiki 17%, 16by old sake, moderately stimulating and delicious. The miso soup they serve at the end of the meal is delicious!

The cool goldfish label is perfect for summer. It has a smooth texture, and the juicy flavor and sweetness of rice spreads. The unique acidity of Yamahai finishes the palate with a punchy aftertaste.

I️️ had my first Oniyamama (blue). It was more spicy than the normal Yamama, but the aroma was wonderful and it had a sweetness that was typical of Yamama.

Japanese>English

I thought it would be dry, but it also has a sweet and tasty taste. The color is quite yellow, and I felt it was very robust. It seems to go well with rich snacks rather than sashimi. It was quite heavy for a sake beginner.

Japanese>English

Oniyama Oniyamma Red Label ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Junmai sake, unfiltered and unpasteurized Rice polishing ratio 70%, ALC 18%. There is not much aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can lightly feel the unique "shuwashu" (a kind of "shuwashu" in Japanese sake), and you can also taste a slightly fruity flavor. Chigasaki Kagisan: 20240418

I went to a liquor store near Niigata Station and asked the clerk, "Do you have any Yamama?" The clerk replied cheerfully, "We are out of Yamama, but we have Koshinoshiratori now. What is it? Koshino Jakucho...?" The clerk explained that the sake is made in the same tanks as Yamama, and that the middle sake is Yamama, while the aggressive and rough-run sake is Koshino-Shiratori. Well, I didn't know such a sake existed.... It is really amazing. I immediately had it in a wine glass, and the sweetness, umami, aroma, and gasiness were to my liking....................

Japanese>English

A sake brewery in the mountains. Dry taste is just right for a meal. There is no smell. When you drink it, you will be surprised by the delicious taste of rice. It is just right for a dinner drink.

Japanese>English

It is light and has no peculiarities, but you can also taste the rice.

The one I got with a voucher that was included in the tasting coin mess when I tasted at Sasaki Sake Brewery. It is 25%, so it is very drinkable even with soda.

It has a mild sweetness. It's not too sweet, but it's not too strong. But it's 18% so you'll get drunk 😜.

Japanese>English

This was also the first time I saw this one. There are still many sake that I don't know about. The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.

Japanese>English

This is a Sankan Omachi Junmai Hiiri. I tried it at various temperatures, and it was best served hot.

2017BY. Slightly pungent, with a delicious twinge of umami. It has a slightly bitter taste, but it comes together nicely.

Japanese>English

Tasty but refreshing. It is best to eat it with solid snacks.

Japanese>English

Sanko Tenpyo Yamahai. I drank a sake called "Namahashi" before, but how about this one? Freshness is combined with a grain-like aroma. It has a full flavor from a mild mouthfeel, a hard acidity, and a lingering aftertaste that lingers gradually. It would be good to drink with a solid snack. I'm sipping it with salted bonito (sakatobori).

I bought this sake at Aeon and it had been sitting in the refrigerator for a long time. I opened the bottle in a hurry because summer was coming to an end. Well, it's a sake to go with rice. In its own way, in its own way.

I had wanted to drink it for a long time, but the timing was never quite right... The manager said it was his favorite drink in the restaurant! It is a pale yellow color with silver tints and a hint of green. It has a spicy top note with a hint of alcohol, but the aroma is very refreshing, perhaps because of the acidity. When you drink it, the slightly carbonated texture on the tongue is pleasant. There is not much noticeable aroma, but the acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel. It may not have much sweetness to begin with, but the acidity helps to make it dry. Despite its dryness, it has a strong flavor, which is probably due to the strong umami that can be tasted from start to finish. Dry sake is usually considered "spicy," but perhaps because of the strong umami, it does not feel too spicy. Interestingly, it is a sake that does not have much bitterness, which may be why it is so light and easy to drink despite its 17% alcohol content. This is seriously very, very good! I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I think it's a must-try for sake drinkers who like umami!

Japanese>English

Low-polished & sake yeast yeast As expected, it has a strong punch! The aftertaste is also bitter and punchy. ‼️ It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a citrusy bitterness at the finish. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a unique and delicious sake with many different expressions. ❣️

Japanese>English

Rice used is Yamadanishiki After opening the bottle, I wondered if it would have been better if I had let it sit longer. I regret it after opening the bottle. Even as it is, it has a great balance of fruity and powerful, with a clean dry finish. ‼️ However, it seemed to have a lot of potential to improve! It was delicious, but it was a waste of time!

Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake 🍶Hiroshima Zouga Linear Heart White Rice A little tight in the glass, but soft in the mouth. It is a subtle combination of grassy and fruity. Mild when drunk from a flat cup (or plate). I had it with striped horse mackerel simmered roughly 😋. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20220812

A 1-goupe bottle that I had gotten at Yamada-san, a sake dealer in Ikebukuro Seibu. I check the small refrigerator near the cash register, which is mainly small bottles, every time I go there. It is Kamerei Mannen from Hiroshima🐢. The classical texture gives it a ginjo-shu feel.

Japanese>English

I was attracted by the logo that looks like a magic circle, so I bought it. It was simply delicious! It has a clean and robust taste. I think it goes well with everything!
