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 😊.

Kamo Nishiki is known for its kafuda-shu! I've never had a "kafuda-shu" before, but it's very tasty! I could understand why it's so popular ✨. I heard it is not distributed in my hometown Niigata, so I am glad I could try it 😋.

Good evening, ma-ki-😊. Thank you for your comment! I'm glad I could drink it because I've been wanting to drink some cargo tag liquor ✨There are so many different kinds of cargo tag liquor, so you'll want to try a lot of different ones!

When I went back to Niigata in the summer, there was a Sado Gold Mine World Heritage Celebration Fair ✨. I found a 100ml bottle of Hokusetsu Shuzo's YK35😊 on sale at Tokyo Daimaru and thought I'd have a few ✨. I saw it on sale at Tokyo Daimaru for 100ml and thought I'd have a few ✨The little blue bottle is lovely ✨. It's a dry Niigata-style sake with an elegant sweetness and a bit of bitterness 😊It was delicious with Benkei sushi when I was back home in Niigata, but I still feel it goes well with sashimi and sushi! It's very tasty, just like Sado's sake 😋.

A rare and rare sake from Tsuru no Tomo ✨. You might be able to find it at Yashichi in Uchino Shikaku, Nishi-ku, Niigata, but this time I found it at Niigata Antenna Shop in Ginza and bought it right away 🤣. The taste is very elegant, mellow and soft on the palate 😊. The last part of the taste has a sharpness that is typical of Niigata. It has more mellow sweetness than the Bessen and has a Junmai Daiginjo feel to it. It's a very typical Niigata sake, and it's really good because it's a local sake 😋.

Is this the first sake whose name you have heard in your life? If you were to ask me, I would immediately answer: Tsuru no Tomo🍶 from the Higi Sake Brewery. I have very good memories of the delicious aroma of rice cooked in the morning at the sake brewery that was on my way to elementary school 😊. I was also a part of the social studies field trip in elementary school ✨That's all I have to say about the Tsuru no Tomo that was always kept at my parents' house, so much for memories lol. As for the taste, it's a refreshing, watery sake that's really easy to drink at first sip 🍶 It's a typical Niigata sake with a strong sense of rice! If you like a more sharp and dry sake, I recommend Tokusen, and if you like a mellow, umami sake, I recommend Kamigoto Morohaku ✨I will review it later!

My favorite Chokaizan Autumn Sake was on sale at Tokyu Department Store, so I bought it immediately (I'm a sucker for limited editions lol) ✨ It's very tasty with a mild sweetness that is unique to autumn sake and then the delicious rice flavor that is typical of Chokaizan spreads out😊I can feel the numbness in the beginning and the bitterness in the end 😋It's still a delicious Chokaizan 😋. But personally, I think Chokaizan Akaoni Special is the best one I've ever had with Akaoni lol 😆😆.

I wanted to try this Kangiku! The moment I opened the bottle, the cork flew open! It's very tasty, with a mild sweetness and a good balance of fruity and fruity. I thought it would be more like Jyushiyo if it lost the gassy feeling 😊. It looks stylish and I highly recommend this sake!

I bought Kubota's Autumn Sake at Daimaru, Tokyo Station. I've been wanting to drink Kubota's original sake, so this time I'll drink Kubota's Autumn Sake: ☺️ It has a very mild sweetness, a sour taste on the tip of the tongue, and a dry sharp taste at the end that makes you feel hot because of its high alcohol content (19%). I am looking forward to Kubota Harasake in the new year! I will definitely buy it.

I tasted it at the Niigata Antenna Shop in Ginza 😊. It's very tasty and fruity with a strong acidity ✨. The fruity taste is like a peach and almost no sake-like taste, so even those who don't like sake can enjoy it very much. ☺️ Personally, the strong acidity is a good point👍 I wanted to buy it but this year's shipment is sold out at this antenna shop😭. I heard it was very popular 😊.

Hime-no-i Junmai Daiginjo by Ishizuka Shuzo I wanted to buy a bottle of Hime-no-i when I went back to Niigata. I found only one bottle for sale at the entrance of the tasting corner of the Ponshu-kan and bought it! It is very tasty with a strong green apple flavor and a hint of rice in the middle 😋. The aroma was stronger and more green apple-like at room temperature 😊. I've come to like Hime-no-i from Himenoi Likra!
