Kubota千寿 吟醸生原酒

I've always wanted to try Kubota's original sake 😊. It has 19% alcohol by volume and is fresh and rich at the beginning of the bottle 😋. The aftertaste is very refreshing ✨ from the elegant mellowness that is not too sweet, there was almost no bitterness in the second half 😊. I like it a lot because of the high alcohol content and the dry feel ✨. It's less mellow than Kubota Akiagari, but it's more about freshness 🍶.

I got this Murayu Tokiwa label after returning to Niigata 😊. This is my favorite Murayu that I was really looking forward to ✨. This is my first Tokiwa label ☺️ The taste is different from Wa, Akane, and Gomadozan, but it has a very citrus-like aroma and sweetness! The acidity was more than I expected and very tasty 😋. I also felt a lingering sourness without the bitterness at the end ✨. I could also taste the usual wasanbon-like sweetness when drinking it close to room temperature! Personally, I think I like the Akane label the best so far 😊.

I had a sogapère ephis at the store that I've been wanting to try 😊. It has a wine-like flavor but also has a very good sake-like taste 😋. The balance of sweetness and acidity is very good and very satisfying ✨. I want to drink it at home too!

I bought 300ml of it when I went back to Niigata 😊I wanted to drink it ✨I also have a small size to try 🍶. The taste is characterized by sweet and sourness, and it definitely has a yogurt feeling! The acidity is strong, and if you reduce it a bit, it gives the impression of being similar to Sogapale Efis ✨. I think it's really delicious and it's like a wine, not a sake 😋. I recommend it to those who are not good at Sake or want to drink something different every once in a while!

Pre-ordered and purchased at Masumoto-san! Couldn't drink it on Feb 3 lol. I feel overwhelming freshness! The acidity is also very Senkou-like, but the freshness and juiciness are more pronounced 😊. It is very tasty and has a sharpness to it 🤤. It's low in alcohol content so it's easy to drink ✨. It was a great decision to buy it 😋.

Last time I drank Chiebijin Junmai sake which was delicious, so now I'm going to try Oragami Nama Sake😊. It tastes like strawberries when you drink it 🍓It has a strong sweetness and acidity with a slight bitterness at the end 😋. I recommend drinking it in a glass! Very beautiful ✨

It's a retro raw sake with an Edo-style back 😊. It's as good as you'd expect from Sengoku 😋. The acidity is strong and the alcohol content is 13%, which makes it very easy to drink 🍶. I love this sake because it has a freshness that is typical of nama sake 😊. Edogari is also delicious 😋.

I really like the sourness of this sake 🍶. The acidity is weaker than Sengoku Mukunin but the taste is strong😊The bitterness at the end is also very well balanced with the acidity ✨. Souhyo is very delicious after a long time 😋.

It is characterized by a mild sweetness, the sweetness is very strong and the first sip has a mildly fruity feeling 🍶, and the last sip has a bit of bitterness that many people seem to like 😊.

It's been a while since I've had a good time at Kudokibe😊. I have high expectations for this new sake! It's very tasty with an elegant sweetness from a little numbness on the tip of the tongue and a bit of bitterness towards the end ✨. It also felt like a Chokaizan when I just opened it ✨. The sweetness of this heavy Junmai Daiginjo is similar to Otters 23 and is my favorite sake 🍶.

Purchased at Ponshukan in Niigata: ❤️ It is dangerous to open it without venting the gas! The moment I thought it was ok and tried to open it, the cap flew off lol. The cap flew off somewhere but I found it lol😆. The taste is very gassy when you just open it 😊It's similar to the Junmai Ginjo from Sake Forest but with a bit more bitterness at the end ✨. It has a fair amount of sweetness, but I think it would be great as a food sake 😋. I would like to try it in a glass as well😊

Sake with 70% polished rice 🍶. It has a characteristic mild sweetness and is very tasty and umami 😋I feel it is comparable to sake with lower rice polishing ✨I highly recommend this sake which I feel is very well balanced with acidity, umami, and a bitter taste at the end! 😆 I have a feeling it will become my standard sake to recommend to others 😆.

Sake meter degree -9.0, Acidity 4.1 The most acidic type since Himenoi's Likra! Finally found it😊. It's a very sour sake and very much my favorite sake ✨It's almost like apple cider vinegar with almost no bitterness at the end 🍶. I really recommend it to those who are looking for a sake with strong acidity ☺️ Modern Senkou is said to have a high acidity level of about 2.0, so you can tell it has a lot of acidity 😊. This might be the best one this year ☝️

I haven't had Mimurosugi in a long time, last time I had it at Akaoni, but this time I bought it at Masumoto✨. The moment I drank it, it was surprisingly tart and the aroma was banana-like, but the banana feeling was not strong, it was a tart Junmai Daiginjo that was delicious ☺️ I could feel the bitterness at the end of the bottle and realized how delicious Mimuro Sugi is again!

I know this was a back and forth post with the snowman 😭 This is delicious! 😋 It's a very tasty sake with sweetness and sourness like muscat in the mouth 🍶I got the impression that there is almost no bitterness at the end 😊The sourness is strong and I like it ✨It's also refreshing and recommended as a mealtime sake ☺️ I would like to try different types of Sengkyo😊. I like this one better than hope: ❤️

First snowman: ⛄️ The first time I opened the bottle, I could feel the gas coming out of the bottle lol😆. The balance of the sourness and the choufu and the sourness is very well balanced and it tastes great. ☺️ I have the impression that the bitterness at the end of the bottle is quite restrained and the alcohol content of 13% makes it a very easy to drink sake✨. It's like a dessert sake, similar to Junmai Daiginjyo from Kakusu Mori 🍨.

It's our 50th anniversary and we haven't had tasake in a while: ☺️ I haven't tasted Yamahai since Shiokawa Shuzo's Cowboy 😊. The taste is from the apple-like sweetness that is typical of Tasake to the slightly pungent taste of Yamahai with a touch of bitterness at the end ✨. It has a sake feel to it and a tazake-like quality that makes it delicious 😊.

This is the second one this year 😊I was attracted by the words "super limited edition" and bought it immediately ✨The last one, Kenaiyama, ran out quickly, so I knew it was popular. ☺️ I'm looking forward to seeing how it tastes after a few days of drinking 🍶, with a touch of bitterness towards the end 😊. Personally, I think I like the last Kenaiyama better ✨. I'm looking forward to seeing how it tastes after a few days!

I was curious about All Tokyo and bought a small 290ml ✨. It's the type of sake that I like for its acidity 😊It's a delicious sake that has a momentary numbness in the mouth and then a strong acidity with a bitter taste towards the end 🍶. The sweetness is not too much and it is very refreshing 😊. It is also nice that it is all Tokyo👍

I've been drinking a lot of fall sake this year, but Nabeshima is still delicious 😋. It has a mellow sweetness that is typical of Nabeshima, with a little bit of a schwarziness (I have a feeling that's what it is lol) ✨. I thought it was a very tasty fall sake with a bit of bitterness! Nabeshima is delicious after all 😊.
