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.

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✨.

My parents-in-law gave me this sake as a souvenir from Tanba Sasayama. It's a completely unknown brand, so I was very nervous when I opened the bottle. Maybe it's because we've been drinking a lot of autumn sake lately, but it's surprisingly refreshing 😳 You can drink it easily without getting stuck. It has a faint sourness and a spiciness that comes afterwards, and then it goes away quickly. It's a sake made with clean water that goes well with all kinds of food. We enjoyed it with pork kimchi and horse mackerel sashimi. I want to drink it carefully, but it will probably be gone in two days☺️.

It is a little sweeter than the first bottle, Sushasen Eiko, but The bitter taste on the back of the palate is very tight, as one would expect from Tosa sake. It has a bitter 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.

A heated sake corner is a must! Yamadanishiki 80 This one is also very dry and powerful! I asked where they sell it... Seriously, I have nothing to do! I want to go to Hattori Ryokuchi and buy some!

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.

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.

After a moment of sweetness, spiciness and sourness come at once. The assertiveness is modest, so it may be suitable as a food sake. I noticed after drinking 4 kinds of sake that I may not like the unique flavor common to all the sake breweries here.

It is sweeter than the other Shugetsu wines I've had. It is refreshing and fruity, but a little peculiar. The rice is probably Yamadanishiki. It is fruity and on the sweet side, but not fruity. This costs over 1000 yen for 300ml....
Japanese

There is no description on the 300ml bottle, but according to the official website, it seems to be called Shiboritate Nama-nihan-shu. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and is easy to drink. It is truly exquisite. I think it is similar to the Shiroshika Classics Limited Nama-Nihan-shu. It's definitely better than the first unfiltered draft I opened.

(*^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 🥳.

(* ̄ ̄)🍶🍶🍶🍶 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.

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.

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 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!

A colleague of mine brought in this sake. It seems to be a rare sake that is only available through regular purchase. It has a fresh aroma and is very clear and luxurious. I got the impression that it was carefully crafted with brewer's alcohol. It is perfect for my taste buds as well. You can't take it home with you when you visit Ise, but I heard that you can drink it there, so I would definitely like to taste it again.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 (11) Mie 1) Eiji-san went to the Aichi booth, so I'll start from here alone. Iseman in Ise City Rice polishing ratio 40%, Yamadanishiki 16%, Sake degree -3, Acidity 1.4 4760 yen This sake has won various awards such as Kura Master and IWC. It has a strong impression of sweetness rather than flamboyance. It is sweet and delicious. The brewer was there and we talked about his visit to the brewery for New Year's. The tickets for the National Sake Fair were not selling as well as expected. We also talked about how the tickets for the National Sake Fair were not selling as well as expected. He was a nice man and I remember talking with him about many other things. After this, this person continued to serve us at the Mie booth.
