It has a fresh and beautiful aroma like a pear! The mouthfeel is nice and pleasant with just the right amount of sizzle✨. The taste is from the freshness of Japanese pear to pear with yellow peach-like sweetness and moderate acidity, but slowly mango-like? I can feel the flavor and richness extending 😆! I drank it last year and really enjoyed it and repeated it, but this year it seems to have more of a beautiful pear feeling than a grape feeling? I thought it had a beautiful pear taste more than a grape taste this year. It is beautiful, fresh and juicy, but at the same time you can enjoy the richness and umami that is typical of autumn sake...yummy😳! I would hold back another bottle if I could still buy it...!

Hi, Mr. Pepper 😃 The fresh-packed Hiraoroshi we got the other day was quite sweet, but I wonder if it tastes different from this one even though they are the same Omachi 🧐I might want to compare them 😋.

Hi Pepper, nice to meet you 😀 I also had this Akirei Kasumi Nama Sake for the first time last year and it was so delicious I wanted to drink it again next year 😆 😚 I just bought it again this year 👍 so I'm looking forward to making love to you!

Hi Jay & Nobby! I couldn't drink Hiyayogoshi because it was sold out when I found it. I would like to compare the drinks..!

Shikishima delicious! The aroma is like melon and lychee? The full body has a refreshing acidity, and although it's hiya oroshi, I think it has a bit of a tropical feel to it 😆 lol The mouthfeel is distinctive, and I feel like it's pretty hard or it stays in the mouth moderately well! The taste has a full-bodied banana-like flavor with a fresh lychee-like sweetness, and it quickly breaks away from the sourness and bitterness with a pineapple feel! The concept of the brewing is described on the back of the bottle as "elegant gorilla", and this initial assertiveness and the cleanness of the finish give me the impression that this is exactly what I'm looking for 😆. I remember drinking a lot of sake at an all-you-can-drink sake bar, and Shikishima was the best. It was my first time to try Shikishima, but it has its own character and tastes great, and now I want to drink more different kinds of sake 😳 lol

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. pepper 😃. Congratulations on your first Shikishima's house drink ㊗️ with the bright hiyaoroshi label 🎉I want to drink more and more sake 😅.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! Thank you very much 🎉. Every time I add more, I buy too much and my capacity is already full lol!

This is quickly the second kind of Yuki no Bijin. This one is also delicious 😆! When you open it, it has a beautiful acidity and a nice slightly sweet aroma✨. From the first sip, you can enjoy the unexpectedly rich and clear sweet and tasty acidity, but it starts to crisp up in the middle and the balance with this dryness that comes in the second half is also irresistible 😳 lol! I feel like this is a sake that can be enjoyed on its own or with food. Delicious!

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Pepper 😃. I've never had Yukimi, which claims to be dry, so I'm curious to try it 🤗. I'm curious because I've never had Yukimi, which claims to be dry 😙It's absolutely delicious ‼️

It's still a great shinshu delicious 😳✨ Mellow yet refreshing, with a nice aroma of pear and a gentle apple feel. The mouthfeel has a slight tartness to it. It has a beautiful, slowly oozing, delicious sweetness similar to ripe mandarin oranges? It has a sweetness similar to ripe mandarin oranges! It's delicious this year too! LOL!

I drank Misuzu for the first time and it is delicious! LOL! It has a fresh aroma with a hint of citrus in the melon, a deep autumnal flavor from the soft mouthfeel, and I think there is also a full-bodied sweetness with a bit of pear in the sour grapes 😆! It's moderately dry and smooth and clear to the finish ✨. There's a surprising lack of sticking to the tongue, so it feels like you want to gulp it down in your throat even though it's full of flavor 😳. Too much good sake to drink...!

Japanese>English

Hi pepper 😃. The photo of the golden label shining even brighter is impressive 🤩Misuzu! I think I've never seen it before 🧐That looks like a delicious Nagano sake🍶😙I'd love to try it!

I drank Yuki no Bijin for the first time and it is delicious! It has a fresh muscat flavor with a hint of banana? It has a nice, full-bodied aroma ✨. It also has a nice, shiny gas on the palate, and as I feel like I've said every time lately, it's pretty soft lol. I've been saying this every time lately, but it's pretty soft lol. I think I've been saying this every time lately, but it's pretty soft! The taste is a little peachy with beautiful acidity and fullness. The taste has a fruity sweetness with a beautiful acidity and a fullness, but overall it is clear and sharp, with a nice bitterness afterwards that makes it refreshing to drink 😳. Another sake that makes me want to drink more of all kinds ✨.

Hi pepper 😃 Congratulations on your first Yukimi ㊗️ 🎉! We are also a favorite type of drinker but we haven't had too many 🥲 so we would like to drink a variety of them as well!

I think the aroma is mild, gently rice mellow and a bit apple-y ✨. The mouthfeel is quite soft and beautiful, and you can enjoy the delicious rice with a sense of fullness and a clear, light taste, but it also has a surprisingly apple-like acidity and a good amount of sweetness. It's good! It's been two days since I opened the bottle, but I feel like I can taste more beautiful acidity and sweetness today than I did yesterday. It's been two days since I opened it. It's a very nice sake with a nice sharpness and it soaks through nicely and you can really feel the quality of the water 😳✨. It's so good!

I drank Tsururei's Soumune for the first time, and it is delicious! It has a melon-like sweetness and citrusy acidity, but it's firm, light, soft, and sharp✨. The clarity is outstanding, and it tastes as clean as melted snow ✨. It is a taste that you can feel 😳 lol! Delicious! I was back home for the Obon holidays for a while, and since my hometown is near Tsururei and Takachiyo Hakkaisan Midorikawa, etc., naturally I feel like I like my hometown even more since I got hooked on sake 😆 lol

The last in the Discovery Series is Koshihikari pink! This one is also refreshing with a sour taste and a fresh pear-like aroma ✨. The taste is more astringent than the other colors, but this astringency is also nice 😳. There's a good amount of acidity and bitterness, and it's sharp, and there was also a really beautiful taste going on, but I got the sense that this is it, this is good 😆 lol. I've finished 4 bottles, and I'd say it's yellow for full flavor and sweetness, blue for deep flavor clarity and sharpness, green for acidity and freshness, and pink for complexity and familiarity. (Amateur's personal comparison)? LOL! Conclusion They are all delicious 😳 lol

Japanese>English

Hi pepper 😃 Great to win four different reviews without getting drunk 👏. The last four summary reviews are easy to understand 👍We are green? But...yes! They are all different and all good! I guess so 🤗.

Japanese>English

Hi Jay & Nobby! We had fun comparing 4 bottles of intoxication 😆 lol! Everyone is different and everyone has their own goodness, that's the fun part of sake!

Japanese>English

Mr. pepper, ㊗️4 has conquered the variety. Before the birth of Yamada-Nishiki, there was no distinction between rice for eating and rice for drinking, so in a sense, this may be the high road. It's fun to see the differences between rice varieties. It's easy to understand and informative. I would like to try yellow and green.

Japanese>English

Thank you, WOM! Before the birth of Yamada-Nishiki, there was no distinction...! I did not know that. It's fun to know about rice. I think I'm going to get even more swamped with this lol!

Japanese>English

Thanks, pepper! Yamada-Nishiki was the first rice produced with the intention of breeding rice specifically for sake making, and before that, Omachi, Yamadaho, and Kame-no-o were among the rice varieties that were suitable for sake making because of their large grain size.

Japanese>English

Mr. WOM I was thinking of all rice as sake rice...! Rice has a history too, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing a new way to enjoy it 😳✨

The third one is an APPT of a bushy gold! This one has a pear-like fruity aroma with more acidity and a nice aroma that goes right through the nose. The taste also has a good acidity, so it has a youthful and fresh fruitiness 😆! It's also different from the yellowish 🍇 feeling and the blue transparency, I feel like I can enjoy a bit of citrus as well, with a good bitterness to the acidity 😳. Delicious! Next will be my fourth bottle. I'm looking forward to it, even though I feel like I'll miss the last one ✨.

Japanese>English

pepper, followed by this one. Fusakogane, the rice is mainly for eating, isn't it? I don't see the eating rice because it is not distributed nationwide, but I might be able to buy the sake, and if I could, I would like to taste Chiba.

The second bottle in the Discovery Series is the blue one from Iomangoku! The aroma here is more refreshing than the previous Identity. It is less puffy like 🍇 and more like a fresh and slightly sour pear? It is 😆 lol! The taste also has less sweetness and is moderately sharp and refreshing. But it has a little bit of sweetness with a bit of sourness. The aftertaste is pleasant and you can enjoy the clarity of summer! This one is delicious too!

Good morning, pepper. I feel the moderately sharpness of the flowers is like "Gohyakumangoku". All of the chrysanthemums are good.

On the second night of our trip to Kusatsu, we decided to have a large sake cup ✨. I like the Harumayama brand from the same Makino brewery and have had it several times, but this was my first time drinking the main brand? I've had a few times, but this is the first time I've had the main brand, Ohibai. I feel like I chose an oddball for a first time...! LOL! I feel like I can smell the aroma of muscat, apples, and even fresh wood, which I usually don't recognize when someone says "wooden vat" to me. LOL! The taste is soft and clear, with a sweet flavor like muscat and a crisp sourness like apples. The sweetness and acidity are clear and well-defined, with a nice lingering aftertaste that is pleasant to the end 😳✨. I think I really like Makino sake 😆 Delicious!

Like a little 🍇 in the melon? It smells beautiful and clear ✨. The mouthfeel is soft and clear too 😆! The taste is grape-like sweetness with a bit of mellowness and a beautiful rice flavor, all wrapped up in a soft acidity? It is 😳! Overall, I think it's more light and dry, but you can really enjoy the taste and cleanliness by itself, and this is my favorite sake...! No, it's delicious...! I'm here in Kusatsu Onsen for the first time in a whole year for a 3 day/2 night itinerary starting today, and it's off to a great start✨!

Hi pepper 😃 What a great atmospheric label! I don't drink much Gunma sake, so I'm curious about Mecha-Yumami 😋 I like your Kusatsu trip ♨️! Have fun 👋!

It's that time of year again✨ Discovery series, this year we have a solid 4 types 😆 lol. It was hard to decide which one to drink first, but I decided to start with Identity, which is a sake that is associated with Kangiku. As soon as I unfastened it, the crown floated up and almost blew away! It's so vibrant lol! The aroma is like pear or grape? I think it's fruity and has the richness of a light nigori. The taste is very fruity, but the acidity is round and mild, and you can enjoy the sweetness like pear or grape and the umami of rice ✨. It's refreshing without being sticky afterwards 😳...yummy! I'm looking forward to the other varieties 😆.

Japanese>English

Hi, pepper 😃 Oooh! You've got a great set of 4 ‼️ We only received Identity about 3 years ago 😅Good luck with your 4 repos 👋

Hi, Mr. PEPPER. Hello! And the top one is So no Mai, the pride of Chiba. I had a Koshihikari New Sensation before. It is interesting to see the difference in rice, isn't it?

Hi Jay & Nobby! Last year was my first time and I enjoyed them all and got hooked lol. I'm still writing in a drunken stupor, so if you don't see a post, just assume I'm drunk out of my mind 😆 lol.

Mr. WOM. Hello! I have been following your shipping information and waiting for you to get back to me lol! It's interesting how different rice is, isn't it? This series is my favorite because I can enjoy ahhing and ahhing about different types of rice ✨ lol.

Today we are comparing drinks with Wakanami's standard sake and seasonal sake...! This is my first time drinking Wakanami and it's delicious✨ The Junmai sake has a nice aroma with a banana 🍇 feel, and the taste is like an apple with a sweet acidity and umami flavor, but with a nice bitterness that pulls away nicely. It is 😆. I think the Dragonfly has a more 🍇 aroma. I think it has more 🍇 aroma. It tastes like 🍇 with a pear-like sweetness and a pleasant sourness that is also very refreshing 😳. Both are delicious! LOL! I also made the lime ice that was on the Wakanami Brewery's X page, which was also good and I recommend it 😆.

It's still delicious in the turtle sea ✨ Compared to the last Yellow Label, the juiciness that comes with a bang is generally lessened and the impression is more moist. However, it is still smooth with a sweet and sour taste like that of apple, and the characteristic pineapple-like aftertaste can be fully enjoyed! It's delicious. I'd like to visit the brewery someday 😆 lol

It has a nice pear and muscat flavor ✨. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I get a strong sweet flavor with a pear-like fruitiness! LOL! That flavor kicks in pretty quickly, but there's a grapefruit-like squeaky clean acidity and mild astringency afterwards that refreshes the palate nicely 😆. I think I prefer it when it's a little warmer than when it's chilled, so I can enjoy the aftertaste of the first sip for a good length ✨. I can enjoy the shirkiness of the ogara-mi and the freshness that makes it drinkable in summer as well.

I feel like I can feel the fruity taste ✨. The taste is also really beautiful and clear, but the sweetness continues slowly and smoothly, making you want to chew and savor it! I've been very busy at work this week and I'm a bit tired, but this was a really delicious and satisfying bottle that will be a good snack for that tiredness 😆✨✨.
