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!

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 3 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Japanese pear, Ramune Almost colorless appearance and mild ethyl caproate-type suplementary aroma. 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!

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 2 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 5 Bitterness: 2 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Cottage cheese, lemon Almost colorless and transparent in appearance, the upper aroma is reminiscent of lactic acid and citrus fruits. 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 😆.

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 2 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Yogurt Aroma: A characteristic of muddy sake from lactic acid-derived residues. 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 🤔.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 2 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Peach, Pineapple Almost colorless and transparent in appearance, the upper aroma is similar to green apple with a slight ethyl caproate type aroma. 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

Sweetness: 4 Umami: 5 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 5 Flavor: Pineapple, Yogurt The supernatant has a yogurt-like texture typical of doburoku, but it also has a sweetness reminiscent of pineapple. 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 🤣.

However, after that, bitterness covers the taste, and it is easy to drink without getting dull. It seems to go well with sashimi, and it may be easier to match with light white fish 🤔.

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 4 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Muscat, Mint Slightly yellow in appearance, aroma has a green apple freshness. The texture starts with a gentle umami flavor, from which the bitterness of the alcohol slowly slips through to the back of the nose. When combined with the umami of the rice, it has a muscat-like flavor, and when the bitterness becomes more pronounced, it has a mint-like flavor, making it perfect for a mealtime sake! When heated, it is easy to drink with a perfect balance of zing and gentle sweetness👍.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 4 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Grain-like The appearance is slightly yellowish, with a grain-like aroma from the head aroma. In the mouth, there is a bone-like sweetness and umami, followed by a tangy sharpness on the tongue. It is unfiltered raw sake, but even when heated it has a strength that is unbeatable 🤔. Personally, I would recommend drinking it in the lukewarm to hot temperature range, as it is fun to drink and the flavors are more spread out than cold sake!

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! I had a bottle of this for you 😊. I thought if it had such a strong structure, it would be good warmed up, so I gave it a try and was right: ☺️ Tochigi has a lot of good sake!

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 1 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Peach to Muscat The appearance is almost colorless and transparent, and the suplementary aroma is more of an ethyl caproate apple-like flavor. The attack is a bit of white peach-like sweetness, which is quickly cut off by an alcoholic bitterness that passes through the back of the nose! By the second day, the bitterness is especially cornered and it becomes a calm food wine, which is a good thing 😄.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 2 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 4 Bitterness: 2 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Yogurt → Japanese pear Slightly yellowish, isoamyl acetate-type banana-like upper aroma. The attack has a chili-like gasiness and a gentle flavor of yogurt and grains (derived from lactic acid bacteria?). The attack has a chili gasiness and a gentle flavor of yogurt and grains. Gradually the acidity spreads, and the after-flavor remains fresh and fresh like Japanese pear 🤔. Sake quality is very calm and does not interfere with food 🍶. As it is called Fushimi's women's sake, it has a sense of stability and cleanliness rather than a shocking deliciousness 😆.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 3 Acidity: 4 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Koji-like, yogurt Both the aroma and texture of the supernatant are highly transparent and have a slight yogurt whey-like flavor. When it is mixed with the tailings, a koji-like flavor and acidity like that of dobrok (koji mold) come up at once, making it good as a stand-alone sake or as a mealtime drink! It looks like a strong sake, but the acidity on the palate makes it a refreshing summer sake 🍶. The acidity and the sharpness of the aftertaste are in perfect balance 🤔In short, it is delicious! LOL!

The attack is sweet and umami like Japanese pear and banana, and then sourness and bitterness spread slowly on the tongue. Although it is a sake with a fragrance, it has a quality that is more akin to a refreshing sake, so I think it would go well with light fish and seasonal savory vegetables 🤔. Personally, I thought it would have a thicker, sweeter taste, but it has a firm sharpness that makes it easy to drink even on a hot day!

It can be enjoyed on its own, but I felt this was a very good food sake!

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Banana Slightly yellowish appearance, slight banana-like ginjo aroma. Soft sweetness and umami on the attack. Fruity with a hint of banana. Then the bitterness slowly catches up with it, and finally it finishes nicely without being too sweet 🤔. I had drunk it during my trip to Fukushima last year, but I was too hungover to enjoy the taste at that time, so I bought it as a revenge 🫣. I thought it would be mellow since it is a 4-stage brewing process, but it is a ginjo-shu with a firm and sharp taste 🍶. If I have a chance, I'd like to try Hanazumi too 😆.

Sweetness: 2 Umami: 2 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 2 Fullness, body: 2 Flavor: Muscat, Melon Clear and colorless color and almost no scent of suplementary aroma, but if I had to guess, I would say it has a yogurt-like aroma. In the mouth, it has a very beautiful flavor, acidity, and bitterness. I have never had such a beautiful sake before! I had heard that the concept of sake quality was the ultimate food sake, but I had no idea it had such a clear (not in a bad way) texture 😳. To pair with the food, I served the sea bream and soi I received with sashimi and shabu-shabu. It was the first time I processed them myself, so they didn't look great but tasted perfect 😆. It was worth the effort to process the fish, and although it was a weekday, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal! P.S. I'm not sure if I should buy a knife 🤔...

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! I found this at a liquor store I recently started going to and stocked up 😊. It went so well with it that I couldn't stop drinking 🤣. I'm not at a level where I can serve it to people very well right now, so I'll do my best to train myself 🫣.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Banana to Muscat The color is almost colorless and transparent, and the top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma like banana and peach. The attack has a slightly thickened banana-like sweetness and umami. Sourness and bitterness immediately follow, so it does not interfere with meals and can be enjoyed on its own 🍶. On the second day, the sweetness rounds out and the acidity becomes a little stronger, making it more suitable for a mid-meal drink 👍.

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 4 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 3 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 4 Flavor: Green apple to melon The moment the bottle is opened, the ethyl caproate-type ginjo aroma overflows from the bottle mouth. The attack has a refreshing green apple-like flavor, followed immediately by sourness and bitterness, with good total balance 😆. I had enjoyed the fire-aged junmai sake I had before and was looking forward to drinking it again, but when I found out that it was a nama-shu and made with Rokugo-yeast, I had no choice but to drink it. It has an excellent sharpness, so it goes well with light dishes such as chilled tofu, and it also has a robust umami flavor, making it an excellent food sake!

It was strange that the cedar was so strong even though it was a draft sake 🤔. The label said the sake degree was 18, but it also had high amino acidity and acidity, so it was like a deliciously dry sake. For those who like dry sake, they might say it should be spicier because of the strong umami. For me it was just right 🤣. This sake is brewed in Ishidoriya, the home of Nanbu Touji. I like the bottle and the label, so I'm going to enjoy the taste and enhance my sake bottle collection 😆.
