I got "Cedar Cider" which I have been interested in for a while... I was careful when I opened the bottle... but I succeeded without spilling it... Junmai brewed with Yamadanishiki❗️I was surprised by the bubbling when I opened the bottle! This is awesome! Not much aroma? I had a glass of this with some tuna kamatoro & tuna fillets....great with meat too! This is overpriced!

Japanese>English

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten on the recommendation of the young proprietress💕. 📌720ml ¥1,430 This is the third bottle of banquet👍 The aroma is very alcoholic. The color is cloudy. The sourness comes to the surface and the spiciness is felt as it goes down 💕My eldest and second son did not like it💕. Personally, I think it is easy to drink with little habit 😄👍👍

I bought it at the usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I decided to buy it because it is the season of Hiyaoroshi ✌️ The label is also interesting and I bought it quickly. 📌720ml ¥1,155 The oldest The aroma is not very strong, the color is slightly golden, but it is very beautiful. The taste is smooth and silky, and it goes in easily. Shizuoka's local sake is delicious! It's also very good value for money! It has a strength of 19 degrees! I'm drunk! I feel so good ✌️💕!

At home. This is the last in the Shiga Sake series. It has a gorgeous aroma, sweetness and acidity in the mouth, and a very refreshing taste that finishes with a light bitterness. I had three kinds of Shiga Sake, Taga, Laughing Season, and Nikkoku-Tsuchisei, and I would like to try the other kinds again.

Japanese>English

More oriental and tart mouthfeel. The sweetness is moderate, and the pleasant sourness and rice crumbles are interesting. The bitterness in the second half is mellowed by the lingering ori.

Japanese>English

(It is very light on the tongue, but has a sweetness to it, and when heated up, it has a savory graininess to it, and it is certainly best when heated up. It is definitely best when heated. It is very light on the tongue, but the sweetness and aroma of the grains come out. I usually only drink dry honjozo, but this kind of sweet honjozo is good too! It's a good opportunity to broaden my palate!

Japanese>English

Temperature 5°C Taste 80 Color Pale brown, lighter than highball. Nose: No freshness. Mild. Taste: Soft and rich, like a Hiyamoroshi with a bit of Kijoshu blended in. Overall impression: No signs of damage for a sake that has been sitting in the store for 8 months. However, since it is a draft sake, it probably doesn't taste like it should. I should have compared it with a new one.

Japanese>English

It was sitting in the refrigerated section of a local co-op and there was only one bottle left, so I bought it without a second thought. It was delicious! The first sip has a hint of sweetness, but once it crosses the throat, it is bitter and refreshing. I love it. And I was impressed by the coop's nostalgia..! I checked the brewery and found that it is located in Niigata-Tsugawa. I used to love the hot springs in that area (around Sakibana) and stayed there many times, so I feel nostalgic. I would love to go back.

This is my first time in Kumi no Ura. I've only seen it at Isetan Kyoto. It has a fruity aroma, light and refreshingly sweet. It seems to be popular among women. It is different from the impression on the label.

Japanese>English

I drank Kumi no Ura a long time ago, but it made little impression on me. I tried to remember it well this time, but my memory is not so good in this area😅. I think it was dry and refreshing, made with Koshihikari rice.

Japanese>English

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a dry sake with a very thick core flavor and a lot of graininess! If you like strong dry sake, this is the one for you! I was traumatized because I was surrounded by jellyfish when I jumped into Kumihama from the wharf a long time ago. Thank you very much!

Not much aroma...old-fashioned mellow umami-kuchi...it's a food sake 🍶 like the local Mukho Masamune or Teisho🌲...it's a sake that is only possible with snacks 🍶...the bitter aftertaste may bother you a little? I think the bitterness of the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome...classical...this is good...I think the hurdle is too high...I'm having it with fried Mexicali...little by little...with snacks...

Japanese>English

I wish you the best of luck with this one. 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This is my second time at Kurumizaka. This time I bought Jun Dai. I noticed after I bought it that it was manufactured in 2017.3 and shipped in 2020.9. ？？？？？ The first day I opened the bottle, I thought it had an unusual taste. The flavor and acidity are amplified. On the second day, the flavor and acidity are amplified and it seems to change with temperature. It's so good! 😋

Japanese>English

Forgotten things of summer. Kishu Tamakae, Yamahai Kurumazaka. Is the complex acidity in the Noto Toji style? The lingering taste is refreshing and perfect for summer.

It is dark and shows a strong presence. It is a delicious sake. I hope the whole country will know about it.

Japanese>English

Sake from Aichi Prefecture, which was procured at a sake festival. We had it warmed up. It is a robust, mature sake with a strong acidity. It has a strong acidity, and even when it is heated up, it still retains its tanginess. I paired it with a pork and Chinese cabbage hot pot, but it won out. ★★★★

Fruity aroma. It has a fruity aroma, a robust flavor, and a complex taste. It is dry, yet sharp and sharp. The alcohol content is high at 17.5%, but it is enough to keep you from drinking too much. It is so dry that it is difficult to drink too many glasses.

Fresh, beautifully smooth flavor and acidity. It is very easy to drink with a low alcohol content. It has a sharpness and a bitterness in the back.

I got this at a local liquor store when I traveled to Nagasaki. It's a refreshing sake with no peculiarities and I never get tired of drinking it. I got drunk lol.

Japanese>English

Today is a holiday. But I went to work. On the way home, I found a four-character phrase I wanted to try, Nagasaki Prefecture's...four-character phrase? I found a four-letter phrase, "sixty-you-you-shu" in Nagasaki Prefecture, which I had wanted to try! Is the Kanto region the same as Nagasaki Prefecture? (I don't know what the weather is like there.) I decided to drink it right away. It's a heavy fruity wine. Is it the fruity rice flavor? And even though it is a draft sake, it doesn't have a sharp taste, but rather a calm taste. I like this kind of taste. Nagasaki Prefecture has a lot of sake that I like!

This Sake has a full mouth feel and a rich flavor. It has the flavor of sweet melon. There is also a bit of acid at the finish to give this a clean aftertaste. Very nice!

A little sweet. But spicy. Just the right sweetness.

(*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got my first three stars 😀. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm sure it's a good thing.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we have a little quirky one for you 💁. Mitsurensei 15th Anniversary Special Sake 5 Years Aged Shiga Watabune Rokugou ✨ H29BY=2017BY and from 2022.7 when shipped, it's aged 5 years, but it's now aged 6 years with +1 year in our house😅. I'll try it as an after-dinner drink after dinner 🍶. It's colorless and clear when you pour it into the cup. The aroma is completely old and matured, with hints of dried grapes, brandy, chocolate, and cacao...it's just mellow. The taste is also bitter with bitter chocolate sweetness, followed by alcohol 😋. Six years of aging is no joke 😎.

Japanese>English

I will drop a second one this evening. This is the second of the three stars limited edition extravaganza✨ This time it's the Arcburg strain, reprint yellow yeast. The aroma is not flashy at all, it's a traditional sake with a graininess and beaniness, but the taste is a complete turnaround, with bitterness and sourness from biting the peel of citrus fruits, and it's quite dry with the alcohol running down the nose, perfect for a mealtime sake 😋. The dryness of the reissued yellow malted rice is not a date: ‼️
