Cup of sake at a friend's house 🍶. It was easy to drink ✨

Japanese>English

I bought it at the Kasumi Sosa store of the supermarket. To put it bluntly, it is a label purchase (laugh). Opened at room temperature, taste is so-called "umakuchi dry"? It seems to emphasize the sake-like quality more than the light dry sake. It is supposed to be junmai sake, but it seemed to have the atmosphere of a honjozo sake that contains brewing alcohol. Could it be related to the long-term aging on the label? I opened the package and put it in the refrigerator. I will try to see the difference from room temperature later.

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.

Seisen has a traditional flavor when it is fire-aged...but the raw sake is delicious 🍶...sweet rice aroma...sweet and bitter on the palate, but not bitter enough to be bothersome. Jungin sake brewed with 100% Chiba's sake brewing rice "So no Mai"... I am enjoying it with "Vinegared Myouga" and "Salted Marlin" from Chiba... a delicious marriage...

Japanese>English

Elegant rice aroma...sweet on the palate! The taste of rich Omachi and the lingering acidity are good... You can enjoy it without any snacks! Chiba's local sake is delicious!

Japanese>English

It is the best way to have a good time with your friends and family... The scent of the ginjo is refreshing... When you pour it into the cup, it is amber in color... The sour taste in the mouth is very strong and the bitter aftertaste is also very characteristic of the local brew, so you can enjoy it with the whale sauce, a specialty of Boso, as a snack. That's the way it is.

Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Japanese>English

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

Japanese>English

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

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!

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!

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✨.

I enjoyed it with simmered peeled fish and boiled eggs. I enjoyed it with simmered peelings, boiled eggs, and other dishes.

It is very fruity because of the use of CEL-24. However, it is not as sweet as Kameizumi, Toyonoubai, or Kaygetsu. It is sweet and bitter. The other one I haven't tried is Bikuyo's CEL-24. I think it's a little bit sweet and bitter like Shibotan's CEL.
