Ishikawa Shuzo, Tamanboast, Junmai Unfiltered
Water color is quite yellowish.
When cold, it has a banana-like aroma.
The flavor is more spread out and delicious when heated.
Ishikawa Shuzo, Tamanboast, Junmai Ginjo, Sarari, Soft
Indeed, it has a soft feeling.
It is sweet at first, but it soon fades away and becomes dry.
The ginjo aroma is present but not strong.
It is good as a food sake.
Watanabe Shuzo, Kyokko Junmai Sake
100% Yumesasara produced in Tochigi Prefecture
Good when heated, but not at too high a temperature.
Sweetness and umami spread well when warmed.
Watanabe Shuzo, Showa Ginjo-shu
Dry but with a hint of sweetness and a fruity aroma.
The sweetness and umami are replaced by dryness and a slight bitterness.
Perhaps the sharpness is the selling point of this sake.
Okabe Gomei, Junmai-shu Hiyoroshi
As you can see from the fact that it was bottled last September, it was unsold at the Yamaya Tsukuba Gakuen store.
The rice is Ibaraki Prefecture's Ichibanboshi.
No sparkle at all when chilled, but you can feel the fullness at room temperature.
Heated...too warm or too hot, it's just too spicy, so I think it tastes best lukewarm to super hot.
Okabe Gomei, Matsumori's Summer Zakari, Junmai Ginjo
A strong yet refreshing sake.
A true summer sake!
It would be nice to turn off the air conditioner, leave the windows open, and drink this chilled sake while listening to the sound of insects!
Takasago Shuzo, Kokushi Musou Junmai Sake
As usual, a souvenir sake from the Snow Miku expedition.
This black label junmai sake is not in the Kokushimusou lineup.
Chilled, room temperature, or heated is all good, but I'd go for chilled <<<<< room temperature<<< lukewarm <<<< heated.
Takasago Shuzo, Kokushimusou Junmai Daiginjo Hokkaido Limited
Souvenir Sake from Snow Miku Expedition
At Aeon Otaru
Because they were offering a Snow Miku shopper present for purchases over 3,000 yen...
Hokkaido's typical? Refreshing taste
Kayashima Shuzo, Nishi no Seki, Special Junmai Shu Aki-agari
It's been sitting in the back of the closet for almost half a year since I bought it...
After all, heated hiyaoroshi sake is delicious!
Kayashima Shuzo, Nishinoseki Fukujuya
Special junmai sake sold only in Oita Prefecture
Full-bodied, melon-like aroma and sweetness typical of junmai sake
Tastes better chilled.
Isokura Shuzo, Junmai-shu Nihiharu "Tsuchi
100% Nipponharu produced in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture
The water color is very yellow.
Nutty, creamy, or something like that.
It is good cold or at room temperature, but it should be warmed up.
Isokura Shuzo, Inazato, Junmai Ginjo "Hoshi
100% Hitanishiki produced in Kasama, Ibaraki
Fruity aroma like melon.
Sweet at first, then sour, then pungent, then immediately cutting through without pulling away unnecessarily.
The taste and aroma are both crisp and clear, even when chilled in the refrigerator.
Nagayama Shuzo, Yamazaru Junmai
This is also from Yamaguchi Prefecture, Saito no Shizuku.
When chilled, it is slowly spicy. At room temperature, it has a mild and fragrant aroma on the palate, but both of these aromas quickly fade away, leaving a slight spiciness.
But it tastes better when heated. It is spicy, but also mildly sour and sweet, and the aroma is more fragrant.
Ichinokura, Junmai Ginjo Kura no Hana
I've decided to drink Tohoku sake on March 11
Sorry, I just drank a Pilsner Urquell while watching the WBC Japan vs. the Czech Republic!
It has a sharp and elegant aroma!
Satoura Sake Brewery, Kirizukuba, Special Junmai Yoshinuma Rice
Junmai sake made from rice grown in the Satoura Shuzo Brewery's neighborhood.
Delicious at vegetable-room temperature or lukewarm to super-heated.
