Fruity, thick and sweet aroma! But it is surprisingly dry 😯. It also has a strong acidity. Famous Nabeshima I had to buy more than 1,000 yen for the lottery 😅 I saw the Nabeshima and thought, "I have no regrets even if I don't win this one! So I bought it 😚. Of course, I didn't win the lottery 😁.

Thanks takeshon 🥳. I happened to know that there was a drawing for the Huayouyasui and bought it the first time I went there! I was really going to open the bottle the other day when we were having a limo drink 🤣 sorry about that 😔.

Kumataro in 2022🧸. Sweeter than the juice I was drinking during the day 😋. There are air bubbles in the glass. I don't know if it's a bit bubbly in the mouth 😅. Day 2, seems to have a better balance of sweet, sour and bitter 🤔.

I opened the bottle a little weakly😅. The bottle was opened a little weakly😅. The aroma is sweet at the same time as the bottle is opened. At first, it was as sweet as syrup and I was not sure if I could drink it 😛. The sourness gradually became stronger and soaked into my body after walking home for 30 minutes 😊.

This summer, cicadas have not been heard. This is apparently due to the short rainy season and lack of rain. Sweet and fruity aroma. Creamy and mild. As soon as you swallow it, the sourness comes 😮. I can't describe it well, but I guess you could say it's tightened up at the end 🙄. I may have never heard of Misato Nishiki sake rice 🤔.

Good evening Katherine😄! Is this perhaps your first Akita sake check-in⁉️🤣? And it's one white pink 🎀💕💓💗. Misato Nishiki is a sake rice that was accidentally created during the development of Akita Sake Komachi. Is it only made in Akita Sake 💦?

T.KISO-san Good evening ✨Hi! Finally got around to checking in Akita 😄. I was curious about Isshaku Suisei because of your post on Sake no Wa, and I happened to get this pink label 💕🥰.

My first snowman ⛄ this year! But I bought 2 bottles last November and kept them 😁. I opened the bottle yesterday and today to cool down in the heat approaching 40℃. It has been left for more than half a year, so the lees is hard to mix 😅. The sweetness is moderate in the hot weather 😘.

The acidity of Yamahai is so refreshing! When I opened the bottle, it made a nice sound 🎉. But it didn't come with a "sizzle" 😅. The slightly peculiar flavor and acidity are nice, and the low alcohol content of 13 degrees makes it easy to drink 😋. I had an image of Yamahagase as a connoisseur's favorite, but I'm glad I bought it because of its colorful and flashy lapel 😘.

Let's make beer with rice! So the treatment is a liqueur😊. Last time it was a fruit beer with rice, hops and apple🍎, but this time it's just hops. But this time it's just hops. But this one is more like beer🍺. The Sake Sparkling has the bottle specs of Sake, but this one has the bottle specs of sparkling wine, so I could use a champagne stopper 😉. It's more expensive, so it helps that I don't have to empty it all at once 😅.

This is my first time at Hope of Sentori 😊. The back label has the Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦, "STOP WAR" and the brewer's wishes 😲. From the aroma, expectations are high. The taste is like a lactic acid bacteria drink 😮. It is clear and colorless, but the taste of lactic acid is mysterious 😁.

Kameizumi, which has been on my mind for a long time. As soon as I opened the bottle, it smelled so good! No doubt about it 😗. The moderate sourness and the bitterness that comes later is nice. I really like this type. I know it's just me, but it's surprising how gentle a sake from Kochi can be 😯.

Hi katherine ☀️ I love your 🍍 flavored sake, it's delicious 😄. I thought Kochi = dry too, I updated it 😅.

Good evening, Mr. Wan! I had high expectations after seeing your comments on Sake no Wa, and they were more than I expected 😋 I'm sure I'll be back 😊.

Good evening, Ponchan ✨ I have an image (too prejudiced 😆) that you are a heavy drinker and hold a bottle of sake in your hand, but I want this one in a bottle too 😘.

I bought it again this year, limited edition sake from Kuheiji 😉. Purchased on May 26 💸. I was told it would be ready to drink from June 2 to June 11, but I opened the bottle flying on May 29😅. Opened the bottle with a nice sound 🎉! The fruity aroma was hard and acidic. There are still a few days to go before it's ready to drink, so let's wait for it to ripen like the label says! June 3: The bottle opened with a nice sound as usual. Almost ready to drink. The hardness has been removed and the wine seems to be mellowing. June 5: The acidity and bitterness are still strong. However, compared to the first sip, it has a more robust mouthfeel. I wonder if I can keep it for a few more days 😁.

I had a good taste of Naraman before 😚. It's not so much a fresh sake as it is a very fresh sake that you can feel on your tongue 😋. It has a nice sourness and bitterness that I like to sip on a hot day 🥰.

This is my first Nanaken! I've been curious about it for a long time and finally got around to drinking it 😘. Sweet aroma ♥ And just like the aroma, it tastes sweet and gentle. The bitter taste is also nice when mixed with the cress 😋.

Purchased at the brewery during Golden Week 300ml with Narano-Yaezakura yeast The shopkeeper told me that it had a strong peculiar taste, so I should taste it before buying! The store staff told me to taste it before buying it because it has a strong taste. But it was only about 5mm in a small plastic cup like you would take a cold medicine in syrup😅. I don't get it 😆. It has a strong sweet and sour taste. It definitely has a peculiar taste. If served without telling you, you might not even think it's sake 🙄. It's not like wine or Western sake! But I like it a lot 😋.

It's Gakkie's Love Mountain ♥! It's been about 6 months since I bought it😅. It's stronger than I expected. Gently sweet and bitter with a strong sour taste 🤔. Right after opening the bottle, the aroma was a bit chemical, but on the second day, it changed to a nice pear juice type aroma 😋.

It's a little past time to say Hello & Goodbye😅 This is the best shuwa shuwa sake I've ever had 😋. Opening the bottle was no problem, but as soon as I opened it, bubbles started popping from the bottom 😮. In no time at all, it turned cloudy! It got mixed up. It was mildly bitter and much less sweet than I expected. It's a spring sake, but I might want to drink it on a hot summer day 🌻 with a gulp 😉.

It's May 9, and that means 59Takachiyo's Bear in the Forest 🧸. The "Bear in the Woods" is the image of the glorious Fuji! I had an image of "Bear in the Woods" as "Glorious Fuji" 😯. Takachiyo's Bear in the Forest 🧸, no doubt about it 😁. The first sip was sweet! But as you drink more of it, the bitterness increases 😆 The bitterness is nice and a bit more. The bitterness is nice and keeps you going for more and more 😋. I have a physical next week, so I'll have to cut back a bit 😑.

I went to Nara on the 3rd for a day trip. I went to a sake brewery in Naramachi for a 500 yen sake tasting, but there was a line 😆. I gave up on sake tasting and went inside the store. The sake was the highest gold medal winner of the "Best Sake in a Wine Glass Award", so we had it in a wine glass 🍷. Freshly poured, it smells quite chemical. I thought the aroma was too strong to drink from a wine glass, but only at first. It's quite sweet, but it's not fruity or anything like sake 🙄. It's 300ml so I think I'll finish it 😁. I have to work tomorrow though 😆.

This one, too, seems to be treated as a liqueur. I used to adore the scene in dramas and cartoons where people drink eggnog when they have a cold 🤒. I asked my mom to make it for me, but she rejected it 😅. Well, I guess it's something totally different from that It's like drinking pudding🍮! It tastes sweet and eggy? It also has a bitter aftertaste, it's like drinking a mixture of caramel and messed up 😋.
