Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Apple, white peach to melon Pale yellow in color, with fine bubbles floating in the air, and an apple-like ginjo aroma of ethyl caproate type on the upper palate. The attack has a tangy gasiness and soft sweetness like apples and white peaches. After that, the bitterness gradually spreads, and the after flavor is melon-like. The lingering finish is long and the mouth is filled with satisfaction 😆. Mimuro-sugi is shifting to wooden vat Bodai-hashiro from now on. This Watarifune No. 5 was the last shipment, so I bought it at my favorite liquor store! From the label, I thought it would have a strong sweetness, but it had a strong and crisp flavor that I couldn't get enough of 🤣.

On the attack, it has a chili-like gasiness and a hint of pear-like flavor, followed by a rush of acidity and bitterness. It has a complex flavor, especially the fresh acidity, which is the perfect texture for the current season 😄.

Sweetness: 4 Umami: 4 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Apple Slightly yellow in appearance, with some alcohol and a refreshing green apple-like aroma in the upper tier. The attack has an apple-like sweetness and flavor, and the bitterness gently envelops it later on, so it can be drunk without becoming sluggish. It is a memorable sake that was recommended to me by a friend when I was a student and I fell in love with it 🍶. It is a regular sake, but it has been loved as an everyday sake in Iwate for many years, and you can buy a four-pack for around 900 yen 😄. Wasinoo is also very particular about the brewery's production 🙄. I would like to visit the brewery someday!

The upper titre has a raw material aroma like a lactic acid bacteria beverage. The attack has a gentle sweetness like muscat and a gaseous feeling. After that, the full flavor, acidity, and bitterness characteristic of doburoku spill over to the top of the bottom. I had it for the first time and found it more refreshing to drink than I had imagined😊. This is one to gulp down on a hot day 🍶. I have to be careful not to drink too much...lol

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 4 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 2 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Melon, Pineapple There is a slight sedimentation of tailings in the bottle and a banana-like upfront aroma. In the mouth, it has a sweet flavor reminiscent of melon and pineapple. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, and it never gets old. It is not an exaggeration to say that "Yukikko" by Drunken Shuzo is a brand that is shipped only in the winter and is a typical Iwate sake. It is originally a ginjo-shu standard sake, but this year they are releasing an usu-nigori junmai sake in the summer, and I was curious about it and couldn't resist it lol. It is not as peculiar as doburoku, and I think beginners can enjoy it 🤔.

It is a tight bottle that never feels heavy 🍶, and drinking it chilled will make you want to drink more 🤣.

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Green apple, white peach The wine has a slight yellow tinge and a ginjo aroma that tends toward ethyl caproate, and the palate is filled with a sweet flavor like green apple and white peach on the bottom and top. The sweetness and deliciousness of green apples and white peaches fill the upper part of the mouth! It settles down with a beautiful mouthful 😄. I thought it would be quite a bit more classic since it was described as super dry, but it had a modern texture! It is a well-balanced sake that can be enjoyed on its own or as a food sake 😆.

However, the aftertaste is minty and clean, with a beautiful finish. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees Celsius, making it easy to drink. A perfect bottle to drink on a hot day 🍶.

The attack has a mildly sweet flavor reminiscent of banana and melon. The attack is mildly sweet and umami, reminiscent of bananas and melons, followed quickly by a minty bitterness, making it a type of sake that one never gets tired of drinking. It is enjoyable on its own and also excellent as a food sake 😄. I had a bottle of Haruneko label at an izakaya before and it was delicious and the label was cute, so I bought it this time 😆. I would like to have a complete set in spring, summer, fall, and winter!

The attack has a gentle sweet flavor like that of muscat. After that, it is followed by a sharpness that is typical of drunken whales. However, the sharpness of this summer sake seems gentler than usual 🤔. It is like Drunken Whale, but just a little different. But it goes well with fish. In other words, it's delicious! LOL!

After a gentle sweet flavor of Japanese pear and white grape on the attack, it has a beautiful sharpness. Especially good with blue fish like mackerel 🤔. This sake is a collaboration between a sake brewery in Iwate prefecture and Kudureiin. I bought it without a second thought because it was the first time I drank a Daiginjo from Drunken Sen that got me hooked on sake 😆.

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 3 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 4 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Melon, pineapple to young leaves As it is an active nigori sake, it has a great gaseous sensation due to secondary fermentation, and it is no longer sparkling. The upper aroma is yogurt-like, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a sweet flavor reminiscent of melon and pineapple, as well as carbonation. However, the sharpness is excellent, and from there a fresh bitterness runs through the mouth and nose at once 😆. I've had a cold this week for the first time in several years, so I've been abstaining from alcohol, or rather not drinking, since the beginning of the week, which is why I haven't posted anything 😂. It's been a while since I've had sake, and it's been humid and rainy today, so I opened the bottle thinking that I'd like to have a splash of it here and there 😊. I'm going to enjoy it tonight while feeling thankful for my daily health!

The attack is refreshingly sweet, like Japanese pear, and then it quickly quiets down, with an aftertaste like when you drink a Ramune. There is also a slight gaseous feeling 🙄. It has a core that is typical of Yamadanishiki, but it is also refreshing, making it perfect for hot days 🍶. I can't help but reach for this one!

The attack has a soft flavor like whey and cottage cheese. Then a refreshing acidity typical of Senkou spreads over the bottom, with an aftertaste like that of a mouthful of lemon. The liquor store called it an adult lemon squash, I think I understand 🤔. That said, it is not too sweet and the sourness makes it a good food wine! The temperature has been over 30℃ every day in Iwate 🥵, and I'm glad it's easy to drink it with a sour taste like this. I'm glad that it has acidity and is easy to drink 😆.

The attack is gaseous and has a yogurt-like sweet flavor. The aftertaste, however, is clear with a refreshing sourness and bitterness, making it a dry sparkling sake! It can be enjoyed on its own like a yogurt-flavored carbonated beverage, and because it is dry, it is easy to pair with food. Especially when paired with refreshing dishes, it seemed to be a good choice as it brings out the flavor without interfering with the taste 🤔.

The attack is fruity, reminiscent of peaches and pineapple. However, it has a nice sharpness from there, and the sweetness quickly disappears and finishes with a clean mouthfeel. It is fruity, but it is a dangerous sake that you can drink easily without getting tired of drinking it. Be careful not to drink too much of this one. ⚠️ lol

When mixed with the tailings, the secondary fermentation is so intense that a film of bubbles forms in the glass😳. The texture is thick and has a sharp stimulation on the tongue, yet it has an exquisite balance of flavor and acidity that keeps you going.... I emptied it in no time 🤣.

When heated, it is easy to drink with a perfect balance of zing and gentle sweetness👍.
