Puh-uuh, pong! Mmm, nice opening 🎉. Sweet 😍 is what I thought at the first sip. Tingling swoosh on the tongue🤩 It's refreshing and refreshing! In the aftertaste, the bitterness comes quite a bit. The alcohol content is 16 degrees but it doesn't feel like alcohol, suisui😅. This is a dangerous drink😁.

By the way, I heard that the meaning of "657" is that the top two digits "65" is the rice milling rate and the last digit "7" is the yeast number.
Japanese>English

Hello Mr. Kitchee😊. It's so good, I had to have a second helping twice 😆. I thought the name of the rice was stylish, but I didn't know the number had such meaning 😯. I'll look for type1!

They bottle it by hand 😯. Smells so fruity! I can't detect any gasiness 🙄. It's more sweet, but what is it🤔? Like candy 🍬 or sugar water? That doesn't mean it's kudos. It's a nice bitterness that comes into play later😋. On the second day, I think the sweetness has been toned down a bit, but it's still a different kind of sweetness than other sake 😯.

W? Dw? I know there must be a lot of posts but I can't seem to find the right brand 😂. Finally got my hands on a W that I've been eyeing for a long time with its stylish label😊. And I've always wanted to chant it too!  Mu~roka  I love it!  Oh no!  Hi~ire  Oh, no!  Oh, no! It's fruity, sweet, bitter, and delicious😘.

Domestic makkoli made by a sake brewer. It is treated as a liqueur 😄. Even though it is a liquor, there is an expiration date on it😮. It's a yogurt drink 🐄 as it says on the back It's much sweeter and more sour than Korean makgeolli😋. I tried to drink it with beer 🍺 as that is the "popular" way to drink it! The sourness disappears, the sweetness is reduced, and the bitterness is increased. The fruity aftertaste makes me nostalgic, but I can't remember what it tastes like 😣.

The aroma is not really perceptible. On the palate, fruity😊. But it's not like apples 🍎 or pears 🍐🤔. What is it? banana🍌? I've only eaten beef 🐮 with soy sauce flavor when it comes to potato noodle soup. I'd like to try some 🐷 pork and miso flavored soup.

There's been a series of big earthquakes today and it's scary 😆. I don't feel the scent too much🤔. When I taste it, it's tingling and swooshing on my tongue😋 It says □fire on the label...! Not too sweet, not too sour, bitter afterwards. I like this feeling🥰 I'd like to try the raw sake too😊.

I was at a department store and they were selling it in a funnel 😉 . I thought they were going to transfer it from the jar to the bottle on the spot when I ordered it, but they didn't 😅. It was already sold in a 4-pack. As soon as I opened the cap, I smelled a sweet apple scent: 🍎🍎🍎🍎 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's apple 🍎 juice❤. Sweet and sour with just the right amount of bitterness 🥰 It's one of my top 3 ever 😁. By the way, what is the back of the back? It's not the front 🤨.

Today is the first anniversary of my registration with Sake no Wa🎉. And the 100th sake I've purchased in the past year is the one I've been dreaming of 😴"Dreaming Sheep"🐏. Recently, I've seen a lot of posts saying that they bought it at Lawson, so I went to the Lawson in my neighborhood where I've struck out twice. There it was! It was labeled as a "new product"! Gentle sweetness😊no stress drinking 😋 The Senkou Snowman I compared it to was so bitter 😆. The remaining 1cm of the bottle was heated up for the first time😙. I think the 🐏's leather is torn and the wolf🐺 is coming out🤔. I might have heated it up a bit too much😆.

I got it again this year🥰"Snowman" ☃ When I saw it posted on Sake no Wa, I rushed to check online and found it was sold out😆. I received an email informing me that it was back in stock, but by the time I checked, it was already sold out! When I got the email to check if it was back in stock, it was already sold out! I finally snapped it up 🤞 there was no limit on the number of bottles so I got 2 😉. It opened easily! Only the supernatant is bitter from the sweet and sour 😊. When you mix the lees, it's sour and bitter😆. Last year, I didn't read the caution ⚠ on the back of the bottle and put it in the fridge's veggie compartment on its side and more than half of it leaked out into the fridge 😫 and I had to drink a lot of sludge 😐 (although it was delicious). On top of that, my fridge broke😭. This year I'll be able to enjoy it to the fullest😋.
Japanese>English
T.KISO
Katherine, good evening😄. I could get it safely too 😆 😆. What, did you break your refrigerator last year⁉️😅? I melted half of my snowman⛄️ and also my fridge 💦😭. So you can enjoy it this year 🤣

"Zaru Sou Hourei." Don't buy the jacket, buy the name😁. You can't read it, can you? The image from the name is Chinese medicine. I thought it would be a bit strong 😁. However, it has a fresh, fruity and somewhat milky taste 😋. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be great!

I bought this in May this year, it came in a box and it was pretty expensive so I've been drinking it for 6 months now 😅. The aroma is sweet, Japanese pear, apple 🍎 type. I've been drinking it for 6 months now because it's so expensive. I'm not sure what to make of it. The more I drink, the more I feel the spiciness and bitterness 🙄. I think I like the bitter taste a lot 😘.

First time I've ever seen one of these. I think I've seen a lot of yellow daffodils on sake-no-wa posts, but I was drawn to the name "moon white" for some reason😊. The aroma is not so much semedyne as it is chemical 😐. At first sip, I felt the sweetness strongly, but later the bitterness came, and as I drank more, the aroma didn't bother me anymore😋.

29BY Manufactured in February 2007 Opened in November 2020 I don't understand it because Heisei, Seiryo and Reiwa are mixed up😑. I'd put them all in the Western calendar. 2018BY Produced in February 2019 Opened in November 2021 Found this about a month ago when I was cleaning out my room! I mean, I always thought it was shochu😅. It was around 2019 when I was drinking mainly shochu, and I don't remember why I bought this sake 🤔. Probably Hokuriku products exhibition in a department store. It's a bottle, and when I checked, it's 5,500 yen including tax😧 It had been sitting at room temperature for two and a half years, so I was anxious to open it! I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm sure you'll agree. I'm so glad I did. I was relieved at first. Sweet, bitter, and a little sour 😆 . Is this the result of 2 years of aging? It's kind of addictive😋 I've heard that sake becomes vinegar when left unattended. I heard that sake turns into "vinegar" when left unattended, but I guess that was just a myth 🙄. I can finish a whole bottle without any problems at all 😉.

This is my first Yui 😋. I've always been curious about this 😊. The design of the lapel is also kind of fascinating to me. The word "Yoshi" is inside a circle of yarn from the Yuki silk. "It expresses the wish to be a link between people, sake and the town." And that's what it says on Sarai😅. Fruity aroma Sweet 🤩 I thought it was only at the beginning and then the bitterness 😛. It's sweet and bitter, and it leaves you wanting a little more 😁.

Today is my birthday🎉! And instead of cake 🎂, it's "drinkable sweets" LA DOLCE VITA 😉. With a sake content of minus 51 degrees, I was expecting it to be like a very sweet syrup 🙄. I was expecting it to be very sweet, like a syrup, but it's not. It's quite a dark yellowish color, more like a western liquor than a sake🤔. It's definitely sweet! I'm sure it's sweet! It's like smoked food🤔. It's addictive 😻 I want to drink it after dinner🤔 I think it would go well with nuts🥜 or bitter chocolate🍫😋

It's the 19th, so we opened a bottle of 19! The last 19 had a mysterious creature on the label, but this time it's a civet! A silver civet on a black bottle. Good looking 😘! It was made in March and will be aged in the refrigerator until June. After that, I wonder if it was further matured in our refrigerator until October😊. Sweet and fruity aroma. I'm not sure if it's pear or pears. I can't stop drinking it but I can't stop drinking it either😋. I can't stop drinking it but I can't let it run out so I have to finish it 😆.
