Let's make a fruit beer with rice, hops and apples! The item is a liqueur 😊. Opened the bottle with the crown with such a bang that I thought it was going to blow up 🎉. It's an apple, but it's more like a peach 🍑. And it's more of a sweet sparkling wine 🥂 than a beer 🍺. It's also 5% alcohol by volume, so I'm sure I'll finish a bottle in no time😅. RICE ALE is coming soon, so I'm looking forward to that too 😋.

Pon-chan-san Good evening😄It's neither sake nor beer, but it was delicious and I would like to repeat it, but the price is 3,300 yen for 700mm 😂.

Momoten, I was able to get it! It's my first time😍. The metal fittings? When I remove the clasp and put my finger on the stopper, it makes a nice sound like it's being popped 😊. Don't be fooled by the pretty name and appearance 😐. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be, but it's schwag! Half a glass and I'm already feeling flustered and drunk 🤪. But I'll drink just a little more 😋.

Looking at the date of manufacture, it looks like it was left unopened for almost half a year😅. Still, when I opened the bottle, I lightly sipped it 🎉. I think it's a bit darker than the "Yui no Kou" I drank the other day. It also has a bit of sourness and a nice bitterness at the end 😋.

🍑🍑🍑🍑 Peach nectar 😘. Is there really alcohol in it? It's like it has alcohol in it 😘. It's full of pulp too 🍑🍑🍑. It's quite sweet and I would like to drink it with rum or gin 😁. The expiration date is 3 months, which is a bit past, but no problem at all 😉.

When you pour it into a glass, it comes with a petite amount of fine bubbles, but you can hardly feel the fizz in your mouth 🤔. Sweet! Then mildly bitter. This is also oishiii😋.

On April 14, it was a full 6 years since the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake😅. It's also been a year since the castle tower was fully restored! Golden Week is around the corner, but the corona is growing again, and I can't wait to see it restored 😊. Sweetness with a tangy aftertaste 😙. Every time I sip it, I keep going from sweet to bitter, sweet to bitter 😁. I also found a 2022 bear 🧸 and I'm buying it!

SAKURA in SENKYO🌸 First time here! This week, the daytime was quite warm, so the cherry blossoms fell very quickly 😆. It didn't blow up, but it opened with a cheerful, shpon🎉 and a pop 😉. I had just come back from outside and was thirsty, so I ended up gulping it down like juice🥤😅. Overall, the sweetness and bitterness are gentle😘.

SAKURA in Akabu🌸 First time here 😘. Yesterday and today, it's cold like winter again, but the cherry blossoms are in full bloom 🌸. I was careful to open the bottle because of the warning about the crown blowing off, but it opened easily! It's gently sweet and sour and gobbles it up 😊. The spring-only 😙sakura mochi-like hanpen from my favorite hanpen shop really tastes and smells like sakura mochi, and the green one is like eating grass daifuku with yomogi (a type of rice cake made from mugwort) 😚.

Gojyogawa Sakura🌸Yeast Drink Comparison😋. Yesterday, when I drank it, this white label was sweet and sour, but today both are sweet and bitter. Is there something wrong with my tongue😆.

Hello katherine 😃. Are you by any chance a resident of Aichi prefecture? Sorry if I'm wrong 🙇♂️. I'm having a 7/15 remote drinking party, how about you? We will gather 30 people soon👍.
Japanese>English
katherine
Good evening, takeshon ✨ Hi, I'm from Aichi 😁. Thanks for the invite, 30 people is great 😯 I've never had a remote drinking party before so it's a hurdle for me 🤣 maybe another time 😅
Japanese>English
takeshon
I see - more than half of the participants are first-timers this time. There are only a few of us from Aichi prefecture, so I'd like to increase my number of friends, so if you change your mind, I'll be waiting for you👍. Sorry for the sudden 🙇♂️.
Japanese>English
katherine
takeshon I am sorry 🙏. I hope one day I will have the courage to do it again 🤗.

Today, I took a half day off this afternoon to go and see the cherry blossoms! It was so sunny that we were sweating and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at once. We compared the Gojyogawa Cherry Blossom 🌸 yeast Isun Heki. The one in the black bag is sweet and bitter, right? As I drank more and more, I became unsure 😂.

Once I thought I had missed out on it due to the fridge situation, I was able to GET it back in stock 😉. Beautiful peach color😊. Just a sip of the supernatant! Sweet and sour, not sake flavor 😯. Like wine or liqueur😘. When you stir in the lees, the sweetness settles down and it's like a yogurt drink 🍓. I can't stop 🤤.

Takachiyo's White Day Label ♥ I totally forgot to open the bottle on March 14😅. In the last few years, we don't give Valentine's Day chocolates 🍫 at work anymore, so naturally no White Day either 😁. Sweet aroma as soon as the bottle was opened. There is only a little bit of oriki. The supernatant is only slightly carbonated apple juice 🍎. When mixed with the lees, it tastes sweet but quite bitter😕 I drank it while eating baby cheese with camembert 🧀. Strange 😲. The bitterness is gone ❢. I don't mind the bitterness, but it's even more drinkable and delicious 😋. I think I'm going to finish the 500ml, but that's okay. Tomorrow is my vacation 😁.

Just top up first! I thought it tasted like "nigori" sake, but I guess it got mixed up a little 😅. The label on the back of the bottle says "shake well" and I don't think I have to worry about it spilling out, so don't worry about it mazemaze😁. Quite sludgy. But it's not too sweet, surprisingly refreshing, and easy to drink with a gentle acidity! I can drink it without getting tired of it😙. I like this type of nigori sake because it is moderate 😘. I want to try Genmai ☺️.

Hatsu Mimuro Sugi🎄 Without mixing the lees first! As soon as it is poured into the glass, it is popping.... o○. The sweetness is moderate, like drinking juice 😋. When you stir in the lees, the squashiness settles down and the bitterness mixes in 😙. Very oishiii🥰.

One of the three warehouses featured in dancyu's [Three Warehouses of Hope with Nothing but the Future]. First bite. Very sweet 😊. Then there is a freshness and acidity that you can feel tingling on your tongue. More than I expected 😉. I'm sorry I didn't buy the Spring Blossom 🌸😆. The picture on the label? looks like two moles with their heads out of the dirt facing each other 🤔.

I bought a packet 😁. I thought the label was very modern and not like sake, but as the name "Gachaman" implies, it was inspired by the blueprints of weaving 🤔. When I opened it, it smelled like when I opened a rice cooker. 😅 It is a little dry while still having a nice crisp feeling. I drank it with takeout 🍣 from Sushiro, but this level of dryness is just right for sushi 😋.

Akitsuho 507 It's 50% polished rice and uses yeast #7 😉. The fourth photo shows the cardboard box that was used for delivery when I bought this Kaze no Mori 🐾. This is what it says! The fourth photo is a cardboard box that was used for shipping when I bought the Wind Forest🐾. According to these coordinates, Akitsuho 507 《AK507》 is weak in sourness, astringency, bitterness and sweetness. My impression is also that it has a good balance of sourness, bitterness and sweetness😋.

10 days after opening the bottle. Very banana🍌 flavor😋.

After Futari🐰's Nigori, Tsukifumi's Ike 🌕's Nigori Sake! The aroma is estery. When you drink the top clear, it's sweet, but it's also dry😅. I would have liked to keep drinking the nigorizake, but I think I'll just have a sip of this one 🙄. It's also a bit hard to mix the lees😆. It's not easy to mix. I'm not sure if it's because it's malt? The grains are coarse. It's sweet, but also quite sour and bitter. It's 20 degrees, so it's a pretty dangerous drink 🤪. The screwdriver of the sake world🍹💀.

It's a limited edition nigorizake from Futaba🐰🐰. I couldn't open it because it was such a waste😁. Let's start with the top pile. It is refreshing, fruity and oishii🥰. I tried to mix the lees. The sweetness is very slight, and the bitterness is nice! The bitterness is a nice touch. Nigori without the sweetness is not good, right? If you're too busy drinking it, you'll fall asleep😴.

This is a one-cup bottle of Takachiyo Origari! Even though it's a one-cup, it's a Takachiyo, and it's supposed to be sweet and fruity😁. It's not as sweet as you might think, but the bitterness is more pronounced. But the cup was gone in no time 😋.
