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 😁.

The first bite I couldn't help but think, "It's so sour! It was a dish with a lot of olive oil, but it made my mouth feel clean and refreshed. As the temperature rises, the bitterness becomes more noticeable than the sourness 😋. I almost forgot that I was drinking sake😁.

Halloween label 🎃 of Raifuku following "Takachiyo". The aroma is gentle and fruity. Contrary to the cute lapel, the sweetness is moderate and the sourness is effective 😋. It's refreshing and crisp 😙.

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 😆.

The aroma is fruity and sweet, reminiscent of pears or apples 🍎. But the taste isn't fruity, it's surprisingly bitter and tingling in the throat rather than smooth. After you get over that and swallow it, you feel the sweetness 😋.

This is a sake from Saitama, after "SAIRAI"! The note of opening the bottle But it came off when I was opening the cardboard and moving the newspaper out of the way, and I guess it was on this thing that I hung it on😅. I opened the bottle with caution! It's not hard to open a bottle😮. The color is yellowish and the aroma is sweet! I can't wait to try it 😘. A tingling sensation and a nice bitterness. You can hardly feel the sourness, and it's not as sweet as the aroma, or perhaps it's surprisingly dry🤔.

The aroma is clear and fruity, muscat-like? The taste is sweet, fruity and gentle, but the sourness and bitterness come, and the sweetness comes afterwards. It's good for a day like today when it's hot like summer😁.

It buys it in the Hokkaido product exhibition. This was the first time they exhibited. Checked out the comments on Sake no Wa and it didn't look bad so I bought it😃. Sweet smell! When you drink it by itself, it's as sweet as it smells😊. But when you pair it with a meal (siumai in this case), the sweetness disappears. I think it was surprisingly refreshing to drink 😉.

Midori lapel and orange lapel drinking comparison😋 It was a reckless challenge😅. Just drinking and drinking and getting drunk trying to understand the difference😆. Compared to Midori, it's a little yellowish in color, less sweet and refreshing? It's a bit more citrusy if you ask me. Too hard to tell 😞.
Japanese>English
Maa.
Good evening, katherine 🌃. That's how similar the flavors were😁. I always drink about 3 different types of alcohol, but it would be interesting to compare them to find the differences! It was a fun and successful way to get drunk🤣.
Japanese>English
katherine
Maa. good morning ☀☀☀. I'd like to think it was a similar taste 😆 I started drinking Sake no Wa and thinking about the comments, but it's hard 😅 In the end, as long as it tastes good! I think😋.

Let's compare the hiyaoroshi of Mutsu Hasen! I bought Midori and Orange, and opened them at the same time. gasp😑 It was reckless😥. It's impossible to describe the difference between the two with my tongue and expression 😣 Midori, orange, midori, orange, orange, midori, orange, midori... I tried to understand the difference somehow, I drank them one by one, and then I got drunk and fell asleep😴. It's sweeter than orange, but bitter afterwards? If anything, I think I prefer this Midori🤔.

I wonder if it's called a crane neck shape? Even though it's only 375ml, it's taller than a 4-pack bottle. As time goes by, say an hour or so, it seems to be getting creamier and sweeter 😮. It's empty in no time 😆.

It is said to have been specially laid down for half a year (-_-)zzzz Be careful opening the bottle! A couple of times I wasn't careful enough and let the cork fly out or blow out😅. This time I opened the bottle carefully. It's a good sound. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. I was a little worried, but when I drank it, it was less sweet, swooshing, bitter and lightly sour 😋. The alcohol content is also 11 degrees, like grapefruit juice.

I'm going to open the bottle with a popping sound! You can hardly feel the aroma? It has a nice sweetness and a tingling sensation. It's tingling but not fizzy🤔. The aftertaste is quite bitter. One after another, the cup goes on and on and on and on. I also have a bottle of Black Label Special Junmai in the fridge, so I'm looking forward to opening that bottle too!

Hatsu Shin Tschida is 300ml size. It is quite yellowish in color. The aroma is a smoky scent like smoked cheese. It is quite sour and sweet. A little habitual feeling? But I don't hate it😊. It's a feeling I've never had before.

It's not mentioned on the label, but the liquor store slip says "once fired". The aroma alone is enough to make you say "this is a good one😍". It's clean and fruity. The sweetness comes at the beginning, but after that it has a nice bitterness. For the first time, I tried to drink it in a glass. I think it's more sweet in a small glass than a big one, which I kind of prefer🤔. I was curious about your postings, so I went back over the past two months or so, and there are a lot of Akatake posts, but not many Omachi posts😑. It's not popular? It's so delicious though 🙁.

I thought it was a sake from Tokyo because of the panda pattern. The moment I opened it, it was "the sake", and I didn't like it 😅. With time, the aroma became less noticeable, and the taste was sweet and easy to drink.
