I was going to get him to buy this ice breaker a year ago, but he didn't buy it before it was released. This year I was able to get one, so I opened it right away. It's thicker, perhaps because I put ice in it to drink it. And it's sweet. It's the first sake I've had in a long time, so it's delicious. The label is cute because I like penguins

I was told it tastes great on the rocks, so I drank it on the rocks😊. It was cool and delicious ☺️. The penguin label is cute too 🐧.

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

Japanese>English

Kobayashi Shuzo Honten is located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This is also my first time here 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. Delicious 🍶✨.

Opening on December 1, 2025 Hometown #9. Soft-ooooo soft ‼️ It flows down your throat before you know it🚿. Is it a little spicy? It's a little spicy, but it's not too spicy. This is 👍 whether it is a food sake or an evening drink. However, it is indeed too gentle!

From a junior 🎁. It's not enough to give it to a drinker. I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it. But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣. It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich. The rice flavor is concentrated. It's a sake you want to drink well.

Japanese>English

We will eat while learning about the history of the tub sales. It has a good aroma. It has sweetness, umami, and overall strength, and goes down the throat well. It is a tasty sake with a punch.

Japanese>English

It is said to be an irregular sake. The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅. The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san. Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character. The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu. I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.

Purchased at Seibu-Chichibu station. It has a classical Japanese sake flavor. It is better to drink it as it is with strong flavored food than to drink it as it is. ⭕️ A robust Junmai sake... maybe not my favorite...

Japanese>English

I drank it all so fast: ❗️ It was a tangy, fizzy and tasty rice flavor.

I bought a bottle of Hyakumangoku No Shiro, a sake rice from Ishikawa prefecture, to drink all of it. It is delicious, and I think it has a firm but fruity character.

Japanese>English

I had never had a drink before, not really knowing what a "hara-shu" was, but I was seriously shocked by this drink! After I put it in my mouth, the taste and aroma were so strong that I thought, "What just happened? I thought, "What just happened? It is said to go well with rich fish. I think it would be blown away by a blast of wind if I tried it with cold yellowtail or something like that! Cheese is a good match!

Okushika, Fire-brewed, unpasteurized sake (Jiketa Yamada-Nishiki) Rating 4.4 100% Yamadanishiki from our own rice fields, 17% alcohol by volume, 60% polished rice An aged pure rice sake brewed using only "Yamada-Nishiki" grown organically and without pesticides in Akushika Shuzo's own rice paddies. This "Okushika" is carefully aged in the brewery in its unfiltered, unfiltered state, and then released when it is ready to drink. This sake has a full-bodied flavor with a subtle expression of clean acidity, and goes well with Japanese cuisine. Designed for 50 degrees, it has a sweet rice flavor, slightly refreshing with acidity, amino acids, and a full-bodied umami. A good mid-meal sake.

Souvenir sake from a business trip to Aga Town🍶. The nose has a very subtle yellow hue, a calm aroma full of umami, and a rich flavor with a mix of sourness and umami that spreads out from the first impression. The lingering taste is also slightly acidic and has a long aftertaste.

Honjozo 🍶. Quite refreshing, like water. Dry. Does not get in the way of eating good food. Perfect score as a daily sake 💯. Purchased at Sugatoyo Sake Shop @ Kesennuma 20230103

Japanese>English

I had it on a trip to Sanriku. It has a nice, calm taste, and it just keeps going and going. We visited a sake brewery just before the trip and were allowed to taste various kinds of sake, which was a nice experience!

Japanese>English

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.

Good evening, another first in the series from Sugiyuu here 💁. I don't know the reason for the 🐈🐈🐈 label, but I will try it without thinking too much. It has the typical Omachi aroma of chemise and citrus with a hint of maturity. The taste is quite distinct with a sugary sweetness, a little sourness, a little spiciness, and a long lingering bitterness. It has a high alcohol content of 17%, but it is easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Drinking with Mr. Uma Uma Uma and Mr. Uma Uma (2) I haven't had a drink at home yet. It's been about 4 years since I've had a drink outside. This is Jun Natsu. Well, wasn't there a gradol named Jun Natsukawa? I know, right? Unlike the label and the brand's image, it is slightly fruity and moderately sweet. It has a refreshing, summery taste. It will continue for a while.
