The umami flavor is surprisingly robust. The flavor is surprisingly robust, but it is a refreshing sparkling summer sake. The alcohol content is a little light at 15 degrees. It is easy to pair with meals.

Rice is grown in rice paddies that maintain the environment in which yago (Japanese bitterling) grows How can it not be delicious? I can't get enough of the shwashiness, which is different from that of raw sake (≧∇≦)! Thank you so much for the food. m(_ _)m

Japanese>English

It was a sweaty day as I went to line up in Ginza in the morning to buy a bottle of wine. The bottle said it was 18 degrees, so I enjoyed it slowly on the rocks. I served it with edamame (soybeans), leatherfish, sweet shrimp, and surume tempura. It was very tasty as a food sake.

The taste is rich but light on the palate. It is even softer when heated. It has a moderate aromatic richness and a little bit of spiciness. It has a good balance and can be served with a wide range of food. It is a limited edition sake, but it has a standard taste. Mr. Ota lives in Kamakura. I was there just two and a half months ago, so I missed it a lot! Once again, Kamakura is a wonderful place! The restaurants that were introduced to us were all very unique and the food looked delicious!

Japanese>English

I bought this Wakaba unfiltered sake in the summer and felt it was still young, so I let it sleep in the closet. It has a good balance of flavor, with the punch of unfiltered sake, but without losing the simple country feel of Wakaba. I put it in the closet again, but it was good enough. It's not Wakaba, but Higuchi Shinyo, a triple axel that is anything but rustic! The ROC is still very difficult, but I hope the Japanese will do their best to get on the podium!

Japanese>English

(The regular product has a ripeness, but this one is relatively refined. It looks light but has a solid core, and there is still a sense of ripeness in the back. It shows its full potential when heated. The richness comes out well. When it cools down, the sweetness comes out well. I bought it from a sake brewer, and when I asked for sakekasu, they gave me a lot of it! Maybe it's because I buy from the sake brewer sometimes. It is very delicious when it is baked!

Beautiful label...18% alcohol by volume...the alcohol is very strong...aroma: a faint aroma of rice. You can feel the delicious taste of rice on the palate...but the bitterness in the aftertaste is bothersome...It's like a good old Japanese sake...I'm having it with sashimi assorted by my regular old man. .... I'm sipping it. It's a raw sake, so it warms you up....

Japanese>English

Kimasa "Junmai Ginjo" 720ml Alcohol content 16%. Rice: Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio 50%. The label is classical, but the taste is clean, mild and gentle. My wife says it has a nice gap between the two.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Miyamanishiki Compared to the special junmai we drank before, this one is lighter. It has a slight amber color and a slightly matured taste. There is little bitterness, and no cloying taste. This sake is a bit lacking as a cup sake. The sake had a good sharpness, so it had a refreshing taste. 65th cup sake

Sake meter value +8. Very robust and dry, but The ginjo aroma makes it elegant and cohesive. It can be enjoyed on its own or It is also perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.

Japanese>English

The first sip is unexpected. The taste is clean and refreshing. But when you take your time to taste it, you will realize that it is the Etsukaijin's strong and complex flavor that sells it. Etsukaijin is known for its powerful and complex flavors. You can taste the robust umami.

Japanese>English

This is my first time drinking Etsukaijin. As the label clearly states. Sake degree +10 degrees, alcohol level is around 18 degrees. It has a thick and rich taste. It is well-balanced with a touch of sharpness. It is a brand that I would like to follow for a while. In order to conquer the whole country This is one of the bottles that I chose while hesitating in Kagawa prefecture which was empty. If I hadn't been working at Sake no Wa I'm sure I would never have drunk it. I really appreciate it.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 I asked the lady at the liquor store for a good flavor recommendation and bought some 😀. The taste is light and refreshing, with a gentle sweetness and umami 😚 and a refreshing acidity, with a slight grape🍇 like aroma 😘. Not the usual gusto sake, but a rounded and rounded sake that is easy to drink 🥳.

Japanese>English

⎛;c*-wha-⎞🍶🍶🍶+ Today we got a cup of Tsunekigen, a local sake from Ishikawa Prefecture 😀. It's cold today, so I heated it up 🍶. After all, a cup of sake is only good when it's hot😚💕It has a nice umami taste😊It's a delicious sake with a strong style, the royal way of sake😆👍✨

Japanese>English

(*￣￣)🍶🍶🍶🍶 KISS of FIRE is a local alcoholic drink. I've seen it on TV commercials sometimes. It's a bit pricey, but I got it from a friend and had it chilled. It's an easy to drink sake without any habits, but it's a little bit quiet and too ordinary. It was a beautiful sake with a beautiful taste.

Rice used is Sakonishiki At first, I thought it was sweet⁉️, but soon I felt the spiciness. It is a dry sake like Japanese sake. I think it tastes better when it is heated up.

Japanese>English

It was developed by a female brewer in 2004 and is said to be a sake for women. It has a slightly sweet taste with a sake content of -3, but the alcohol content is high at 18 degrees. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The aroma of the rice is strong in the mouthfeel. The sweetness is followed by a crisp dry aftertaste✨.

Koikawa Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi 720ml Rice ： 100% Kame-no-o produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio : 55 Alcohol : 15.3 My wife entered this sake in a CS historical drama program and won it. It is said that this sake brewery is related to the writer Shuhei Fujisawa. This is also some kind of fate. Now, what does it taste like? It is quite classical. My wife said it was just fine. It is best to warm it up a little.

Japanese>English

I love the dry carp river😍. Tasted it before mixing the nigori ❕😀😀 I think it's a bit alcoholic. I will mix the nigori and have it. The astringent taste and the alcohol taste from earlier is gone and the balance is great ❕🥰. It's a beautiful sake with a deep flavor that is replaced by the deliciousness and sharpness of the rice, and it's great. It goes well with all kinds of food, and is even good as a stand-alone sake ❕. ★★★★★

Japanese>English

100% Kame-no-o. Dry and more refreshing than expected. You can also taste the umami of the rice. Delicious.

They use a yeast called "Kyo no Koto" which was jointly developed by Sasaki Shuzo and the Kyoto City Institute of Industrial Technology. If that's the case, why don't they write it on the label? It's quite floral, but banana-like. At the end, the sourness kills it. So far, I don't think I've had a bad bottle of Fuoh.

Japanese>English

I bought it at ●Maya because I thought it was rare to find Tomiou's Yamahai. It was sweet with lactic acidity. Then there is a bitterness with a graininess. A little peculiar? A little nutty. It has a complex taste with caramel and creaminess. After a few days, it tastes like yogurt or calpis. After a few more days, it's hard to describe, but it has a type of habit I don't like...

Japanese>English

Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (¡Ω) Very yellow. Delicious and mellow as expected! Although from the Fushimi brewery, this sake would definitely be better suited to those who prefer San-in sake! I've been afraid to go to Kyoto since the new cologne, but this makes me want to go to Fushimi to buy some! But I still don't have the guts to take the train only in the direction of Kyoto where there are many tourists! Still, this sake has enough charm to make me brave enough to make the decision to go to Fushimi, even if I am trembling!

It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.

I bought it for a souvenir, but a customer traveling from Hokkaido🐴 gave me some chocolates and I didn't have any on hand, so I had to rush to the store and drink it with everyone, including my sister🥂. I heard it was only medium-hot, but it's still hot ❗️. I want to warm up some 👩 for my sister! I just had a reflective stove. (I was boiling daikon radish for oden 🍢) I'd love to heat up some sake with this 👩 It's not a fashionable place, but it's a very relaxing and nice place 🥰. I'll see you later 🎁🙏🏻

Japanese>English

Morioka! I chose the sake to go with the stylish snacks. This is also my first time. Nice choice by me. It is nice and clear and dry. Iwate's dry sake has no grandfather. The dialect in the store is nice. It makes the sake go down a treat!
