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.

The first one for the new year is ❗️ why cold chrysanthemum 39 2024❗️ I saw a lot of your imprints at the end of the year! I was wondering when to open it, but I wanted a sweet crispy one, so I chose this one‼️It's absolutely delicious 🤤. I'm just going to give a quick impression since everyone's impressions are so great! Let's start with the aroma! It's pear-like fruity and refreshing. The aroma of Kangiku is always lighter than the taste, so I guess that's about it. I guess that's about it. Now, let's take a sip! ‼️ Sweet and juicy! Sappy ‼️ a little tangy🍶. It tastes just as I expected. Stable sweet and juicy ‼️ I think I've been drinking Kangiku the most for some reason, but I haven't had any disappointment so far. It's like stability! This year, I would like to actively try new sakes that I have never had before! Thank you all for your support this year 🙇.

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 🍶.

I stopped by the sake brewery during my trip to Yamanashi❗️ There were other limited editions from the brewery, but I wanted something sweet, so I bought this one, too, as there are only a few stores that sell it: ❗️It's my first time to Nanaken, and I'm looking forward to it: ❗️ Let's start with the aroma 🍶. It has a sweetness like pear and strawberry that goes through you smoothly, and it has a delicious and promising taste without any alciness 😆. Now for a sip: ❗️🍶 It has a sharp Daiginjo-like feel and a very well-balanced sweetness. It's very well-balanced sweetness! The tingling sensation and slight bitterness afterwards invites refills and makes me want to drink more...I thought! I think this will be one of my favorite bottles 🥴.

I've been meaning to have a drink for a while now, but never got around to it 🐇. I was more interested in Erwolf🐺, but it's still polite to drink from Usagi! Let's start with the aroma! Hmmm...amazake-like aroma? The aroma makes me think this is a very sweet sake! Now, let's take a sip! ❗️ It's sweet! Sweet, but not the strongest sweet. 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! It's just like a drunken whale. I think this sake tastes better after three days than when it is just opened, so I would like to enjoy it with patience and not drink a lot. I hope everyone will be interested in the taste of Drunken Whale. ❗️

This is the first Hana-Hiyo-Yu for this season. The first Hanahyokyu I drank was also Miyamanishiki, which I was allowed to drink a little, so I wanted to confirm whether that impression was a fluke or not, so I managed to get the same 🍶. Let's start with the aroma, Oh, I think Pinappo 🍍 Miyamanishiki Hana-yosu is the most Pinappo. Anyway, it smells good❗️Smell❗️ Now a sip 🍶. Delicious 🤤As always, Miyamanishiki is delicious... The taste is more pineapple-like sweetness first, and the umami might be stronger than last year? A little bitterness follows, but I don't mind it. I would like to get a few more bottles as the hana-yori season is still going on!

I've always wanted to try a Akabu Nama Sake 🍶. I guess this is the basic type of sake. Let's start with the aroma! Sweet aroma derived from rice. Not fruity! Or rather, it's a scent that I can't compare to fruit myself❗️It's a sweet type ❓ But it's not fruit. Now a sip❗️🍶 Okay, okay! It has a slight tingling sensation, and I love the umami that you can feel sizzling on the tip of your tongue❗️Akabu-san is still better raw 🤤👍. It tastes a lot more umami than sweetness. It's a raw sake, so I don't know how it will change over the next few days, but I expect the sweetness will get stronger as it sits for a bit! Looking forward to it! 🍶 I hope you all enjoy the new Akabu sake: ❗️

First sake purchase in a long time🍶. Purchased at a local Japanese liquor store, not in the sanctuary. It's been a while since I've had tazake, and I don't remember the last time I had it, so I'm going with a fresh mind! Let's start with the aroma: ❗️ There is a sour cemedine type aroma behind the sweet aroma...I wonder.., Then take a sip ❗️🍶 Yeah, it's delicious! It's a sweet, cemedine type of taste with umami chasing after it. It doesn't have that new-sake-like tingle, but it has a freshness and a calmness to it. It's hard to describe. Well, either way, this year's new sake is also delicious! Taste change after 4 days It is still sweet and the sense of umami is the same. The cemedine-ness has completely disappeared and the taste has increased! I would recommend to let it sit a little longer than the first day 😀 🍶.

I bought an absolutely stable brand of sake from Kangiku Meikozo! I drink a lot of meh sake, but you can never go wrong with trendy sake! Let's start with the aroma! It's sweet, the usual, and, well, it's absolutely delicious, isn't it? It's a reassuring aroma that says, "It's definitely delicious, isn't it? It's the fruity 🍍🍐 aroma you all know without even saying it, Now, take a sip! Sweet! Delicious! Juicy! It's a little bitter because I'm intentionally letting the ori dance around, but this one will definitely finish fast: ❗️ Personally, I prefer the Haruhi that came out in the spring because it has a stronger flavor. It's tasty enough, though!

I didn't expect to find it at my local Japanese liquor store, so I bought it! I like Mimuro Sugi, so I hope this one is good too! So I had a glass right away! The aroma is elegant and you can expect a smart sweetness. In the mouth, it is sweet like Mimuro Cedar! Delicious! Juicy! I thought it was a well-balanced sake, with neither a strong aroma nor sweetness. It is the kind of sake that you can drink every day and never get tired of it, and you can drink it with anything without any problems.

Masayo for the second time: ‼️ I'm tempted to try it when it says "test brew" or something like that 😀. Let's start with the aroma..., It has a slight, light, sweet aroma of rice-derived 🌾. I'm sure it's not as sweet as the aroma. Then, take a sip. Sweeter than the last Masayo I drank: ‼️ It is as sweet as the aroma before drinking. Rather, it has a sweeter mouthfeel than the aroma. It has a slight juicy sweetness to it. It leaves a bitter taste on the tongue at the end, so it will be interesting to see if it will become stronger with the umami taste or if it will become more crisp 🍶. Bottom line, it's delicious 🍶❗️🍶

Went to a local liquor store to check out the new arrivals for the first time in a long time! I was taught to drink here, so I feel nostalgic like I'm at my parents' house 🥴. Among the shelves filled with autumn sake, I found my favorite sake, Drunken Whale, which I had never seen before, so I bought it out of curiosity! I was curious to buy it 🍶. I was told not to drink it with the image of drunken whales, but I don't know......., Let's start with the aroma. Sweet and pleasant aroma of rice. The fresh, fruity, pear-like aroma is very exciting. Now, take a sip: ❗️ There is no sweetness like the aroma, and the dry taste spreads quickly on the palate, with a hint of acidity. The aftertaste is also crisp. Interesting taste. It tastes a little like Miyoshikiku. It is not the usual drunken whale, just as the sake shop owner said.

Nice to meet you, Kinjaku! I've been interested in this brand since it was ranked No. 2 in Sake Time about a year ago 🍶. It was in the afternoon when I went out to buy it, and I didn't expect to find it because there is always a battle with other customers as soon as the store opens and rare sake🍶 is rarely left, but there were still two bottles left ❗️ I looked back five times without thinking 😆. Now, from the aroma.., It smells sweet, like a pineapple. There is a slight scent of wood vat mixed in, and the aroma of rice comes later. Now for a sip: ‼️‼️ The sweet taste of the pineapple type 🍍 is quickly felt on the tongue. If you taste it mainly on the tip of your tongue, you will only taste the sweetness, but if you taste it on the back of your tongue, you will feel a slight, tingling sensation. A thin bitterness catches up with me throughout my mouth just as I'm about to take another sip. But I guess this bitterness is a level of bitterness that I don't mind. I had heard that it was similar to Hana-yoku and Kameizumi, but although it is sweeter and richer than those two, I felt that the fruity feeling was a step back, perhaps because it is an autumn rise. It is a bottle that is rare to find 😁 I would like to take my time and drink this one 🍶.
