A bottle of sake bought as a souvenir on a business trip to Aizu from a person to whom I gave sake as a gift: ❗️ Sake is a wonderful world where you give sake as a gift and you get sake back as a gift 😁And it seems that it's a kind of sake that is not widely distributed here ‼️🍶 Let's start with the aroma! I don't know what it is, but it's very fruity‼️I've smelled something very fruity‼️my wife said it's fruity‼️ too! But I can't describe it either. Well, let's have a sip‼️ You are a melon. ‼️🍈 The first attack has a sweet melon-like mouthfeel, followed by a crisp bitterness, but not unpleasant. The umami is felt on the tongue gradually at the end and is very well balanced. It was one of those bottles that you finish and feel the deliciousness that makes you want to drink it again right away! This is a guy I would buy again as soon as I find it: ‼️

Last Friday and Saturday my family and I went to Utsunomiya for a gourmet food tour⁉️I really wanted to go to the Sengoku sake brewery and take some pictures, but due to some things I couldn't make that time, but we went to Penny Lane and had a full dessert, bread, and cake‼️ evening and then the next morning we enjoyed a gourmet gyoza (Chinese dumpling) tour. I had a trip of overindulgence in cream puffs‼️ and dumplings‼️ and honey soft ‼️... In the midst of such a busy schedule, I asked the wife to visit several liquor stores in Utsunomiya and purchased this Houou Mita, one of the famous brands in Tochigi,‼️ which I have not had in a long time! It's my first time to drink this kind of wine, so I'm looking forward to it! Let's start with the aroma! Yup! It must be delicious! It smells like that! Now take a sip ‼️🍻🍶 The sweet lemon-like fresh sweetness comes in a whiff, not too sweet, just a hint of sweetness followed by a bit of lemon-like bitterness, which refreshes the aftertaste. You will want to take two or three sips right away. It is a very elegantly made sake 🍶‼️ is the best way to describe it for me. Delicious 🤤. My trip to Utsunomiya was so much fun (and fattening) that I'm planning to go back again soon 😎Next time I'm going to Sentori: ‼️

Nice to meet you, brewer Kuheiji. I've heard rumors about you for a while, but how lucky I am to meet you like this and to have a draft of your sake 🍶 and I'm grateful for the opportunity to buy it. ‼️ I already have a tight pocketbook this month 🥶. Let's start with the aroma! It's a sweet, clean aroma with a hint of alu? I can't feel it? About the same. Well, take a sip ‼️🍶🍻. Wow! It's fruity, but a little sweet, like white peaches or strawberries? It's a little bit like a kijoshu. ‼️ The first impression is that it's a bit like kijo sake 🐈 There is also a slight tingling sensation from the raw sake, and after swallowing, the umami follows you around in your mouth. This is 、、、、 delicious🤤. I thought it was a well-balanced sake, different from Hirotogawa and Shinshu Kamerei. This should be popular. Be careful not to drink too much ⚠️!

I'm going to get the pink one because I missed out on the Abe Series ❗️ yellow this year, which is my favorite, and I'm going to break the bind that I've never had a drink ❗️, so I got the sale information and went to get it immediately ❗️🚗. Let's start with a scent we all know: ❗️ I don't know what it is, but it's fruity, too. Banana? White peach? Muscat? Pineapple? Anyway, the fruity aroma is a bouffant 🤣🤣🤣It's definitely a sweet and tasty aroma 🍶. Now take a sip 🍶🍻🍶🍻🍶. The moment you put it in your mouth and it touches your tongue, you can feel the sizzling sensation spreading and the fresh carbonation chilli feeling at the same time 😋 This year's seems to be a bit lighter than I expected, maybe because I've been drinking so many strong ones lately❓ This one is also not sold very often, so when I find it, I will buy it immediately. ❗️❗️

On the way home from an outing, I stopped by a liquor store I frequent in Kanagawa Prefecture and looked for a sake that my usual liquor store didn't carry, but I couldn't find it, so I bought this one that I've always been interested in but never got around to buying 🍶‼️ Let's start with the aroma! Now for a sip: ‼️ Yeah👍 delicious! 🤤. The first attack was sweet and bitter, then the gorgeous aroma spread, and the umami was felt slowly at the end, that was my impression. I guess my impression is that it is a classy sake 🍶. I wonder what it is......like Royal Host ⁉️ (lol) It was a bottle that made me feel that maybe no matter what I buy here, I can always buy a stable and delicious sake. ‼️

I saw the Yamori 🦎‼️ that was floating around on Instagram. I knew I had to buy this one, so I was thrilled to take it home to my usual theme park ‼️ thinking to myself 😭 you stayed behind to come to my house properly. Let's start with the scent! It smells sweet and juicy, just like Yamori🦎. It's such an anticipatory scent that makes my mouth overflow with saliva⁉️. ‼️ I'm not sure what it smells like after all, but it's a juicy scent! Now take a sip‼️🍶🦎! The moment it enters my mouth, I thought it was sweet ❓ but the bitterness asserts itself a little stronger. I felt it was a dry sake 🍶 with aliveness, bitterness, and sharpness, not a rancid juicy type like the summer Yamoru I drank before. If you like the usual sweet Yamori, you may have a different impression 🤔. I think the bitterness will settle down after a few days, so I'm looking forward to it. ‼️🦎 I drank it hot later and it was so delicious 🍶I think I'm going to be addicted to this one, it's one that I'm pushing for hot sake: ‼️🍶.

I have always been interested in this drink, but never got around to buying it 🍶I wanted something solid, so I finally bought it! Let's start with the aroma! Sweet aroma of rice with a hint of alcohol 🍶. It's very promising for a robust type! Now for a sip: ‼️ It's fruity and sweeter than I expected, but the flavor is so rich that I feel like I've drunk it! It's just as I expected! The taste makes me want to drink this not only cold, but also hot. ‼️It's going to be the coldest time of the year, so I want to get through it while warming up with a hot sake. ‼️🍶

The reborn Sentori was sitting on the table, so I was torn between it and Hirotogawa Junmai Ginjo, and bought this one: ‼️ The other day, at a sake-only bar, I told the owner that the Sentori I had had before had a cemedine-like aroma, and the owner got mad at me. Let's start with the aroma! I have the impression that the aroma is generally lighter than the previous Sentori? I'm sure it has a 🤔sweet aroma! Now for a sip: ‼️🍶 Sweet ⁉️ juicy ⁉️ sour ⁉️ salty ‼️ The flavors come at you in this order: ‼️ This one is so sharp that I'm going to have another one: ‼️ Fear not, Renewed Sentori: ‼️ I'm going to enjoy it because it doesn't taste or smell like cemedine at all, which I felt before, so I'm going to think I've gotten rid of the bad taste 🍶.

I hit my usual liquor store on a weekday at noon: ❗️ It happened to be sitting in the "one bottle per person" section, so I bought it, forgetting once and for all that I was bound to a brand I'd never had before! Let's start with the aroma: ❗️ A sweet aroma with a sticky sensation. Peachy? Judging by the aroma alone, it seems to be a very sweet sake 🍶. Now for a sip: ❗️ It has a surprisingly crisp mouthfeel with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. I got the impression that it was the exact opposite of the aroma. The umami is neither too strong nor too thin, and it seems well balanced. ⛄️ Since this is the impression after letting the nigori stand, I wonder if it would be even sappier if it were allowed to settle❓

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hirotogawa. I have heard rumors about you for a long time, but this is the first time I can finally taste you! The last bottle of Hirotogawa nigori was sold out right in front of me, so I gave up and chose this one. Let's start with the aroma! Yes, it has a sweet cemedine-type aroma! I have a feeling the taste is going to be strong when you drink it: ‼️ Now, let's hit it (sip)! It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, sourness, and bitterness. The aftertaste is quite sweet, so I would recommend this bottle to those who like sweet sake. ‼️

Today, I went to a distant liquor store in the morning, and since I was down in the dumps after striking out on Jizokawa and Shinsei, I went to my usual famous sake store in the evening or so to regain my spirits and pick out some mellow sake: 😮‍💨 I told them that I wanted a refreshing, unpasteurized sake like Drunken Whale or Tedorigawa, and they recommended this one: ❗️ Nice to meet you, Mr. Zama🐎! Let's start with the aroma: ❗️ I don't think the aroma is that strong this time either. I don't have a stuffy nose or anything, but I think it's just a little sweet. It's not too sweet, but it doesn't spread well in a wide-mouthed boar cup. Now a sip ❗️🍶🐎 Oh, it's delicious! Delicious❗️ juicy sweetness that is typical of a fresh sake with a nice clean cut aftertaste❗️It's quite a bit sweeter than I thought it would be, but it's just plain delicious❗️ It might be perfect because it's the kind of rhum juicy that I like and has a clean aftertaste😍It's so easy to drink that if I had tomorrow off, I'd open it for sure❗️🍶I prioritize brands I've never had, but my encounter with this 🍶 made up for this morning...it's on repeat🍶. ❗️

I had the opportunity to visit a sake brewery in Tokyo that is well known for its delicious and famous gecko, so I paid a visit for the first time: ❗️❗️ I don't know if it's only available here, but there were a lot of sake that I had never seen before, so I bought this one that seemed to suit my taste while expressing my gratitude to the sake brewer for always letting me enjoy their sake. ❗️🍶 Now let's start with the aroma: ❗️ When you open the bottle, you hear a pop ❗️, which means it's a gas chili type of sake. ⁉️ I'm looking forward to it! The aroma is a little bit sweet. I don't know if it has any particular characteristics. If I had to say, it's a bit like the Sentori we drank last year. Then, take a sip. It has a sweet, berry-like aroma, but the flavor of the rice spreads quickly. ❗️ sweet and juicy 🍶. The aroma is much stronger in the mouth, more complex and a bit peculiar. It's not the ramune juwa~❗️ like Yamamori, but this is a delicious one that you will want to repeat. It's hard to describe, but it was that kind of sake that felt fun to drink 🍶.

This sake was my No. 1🏆🥇 of all the 2024s I managed to get at the end of the year. I had to put it off until today because of the fridge, but at the end of the winter break, it was finally opened 😆 ‼️ glad 😆. Let's start with the aroma! Stable pineapple 🍍No mistake, as stable and sweet as Dole's pineapple 🍎. I'm looking forward to it! Now take a sip‼️🍶 Mmmmmm ‼️mmmai‼️ I think I am one of the most pinappo of the hana yang. I think I've mentioned it before, but anyway, it's a pineapple juice 🍹🍍. I'm a sweet lover & a bad guy who draws sake newbies into the sake swamp 😎. I hope I can drink it again next year 🥺🙏 as this is going to be the end of this year's Hanayo for now.

After much deliberation, I decided to open the last bottle of the year with this sake🍶! A guy at work goes to Niigata every year to stock up on sake, so I got a bottle for myself. The fact that he bought it for me in Niigata adds to my appreciation! 🍶 Let's start with the aroma! Sweet aroma derived from rice. I'm not sure if it has an alu feel to it, but it seems promising. Now, let's take a sip. It is not the image of the light and dry ❗️, but rather, the sweetness comes first, then the taste is rich, and finally the dry sharpness and a slight bitterness comes at the end. It was a great bottle to drink with seafood such as sashimi at the end of the year, and it further enhanced the flavor! After all, Hakkaisan is a sake brewer with deep pockets! This sake 🍶 is delicious!

One of my juniors at work gave me a bottle as a souvenir from a trip to Akita: ❗️ Thanks for the great gift 🍶! It's a sure brand, and I'm excited to hear that it's basically only sold in my hometown 💃. Let's start with the aroma! I get the impression that there is a bit of alkali in the aroma. A bit like a noble sake? It seems to be very drinkable 🍶. Then, thanks to my juniors, I'm going to rush in: ❗️❗️ Oooh! It has a sweet taste like strawberry🍓 that is refreshing like peach🍑, but not too strong, just the right amount of salt. ❗️ Moreover, the umami of the rice is following it, so it is not only refreshing but also very well-balanced. It goes well with a variety of dishes and can also be drunk on its own! I honestly felt that the brewer who made this sake is amazing! It's not often available, but if you ever get a chance to visit Akita, I would definitely buy it! I don't know what to do, this is the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year when I drink too much 🍶.

It's juicy and has an awesome slight tingle to it 🍶. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, it's good! KORE! I drank it with a lot of Ori mixed in, so it has a little bit of umami, but it's not that strong. It is not fruity, but I have the impression that it is a sweet sake with a great balance of sweetness. I think this is a good bottle to have when you want to drink a normal tasty sake! I'm going to let it sit for a while and taste it again!

I was definitely looking forward to drinking Miyamanishiki and Yatanishiki from Hanahayo, so I managed to get them and achieved my goal for this year. ❗️ I'm already looking forward to it too much, I can't even describe how much I'm looking forward to it. Now let's start with the aroma❗️🍶 Pinapple, of course! There is no other way to describe it 🍍. No mango or anything! Just pineapple! Now, a bite! The alu feeling comes more than I expected, but the taste is sweet pineapple, almost juice ❗️ The more you drink, the more juice you get! The amino acid flavor is a little stronger this year, but the sweetness of Hachitan Nishiki is clear and delicious! This is one that I would like you to enjoy on its own, without any snacks or anything 🍶.

The annual new sake from Drunken Whale! This sake is available at 、、、、、 in the sake swamp. Come on! Here we go again this year: ❗️🍶 The aroma is a hint of sweetness in the nose. The kind of sweetness is,, sweet with a sense of al. Now a sip: ❗️ Al-ness and sourness in the mouth. The sweetness follows a little later. All of them are refreshing tastes that come and go only for a moment and disappear smoothly. The flavor makes you want to taste it again right away. It's like a drunken whale! It's so smooth!
