Kirabi The aroma is sweet and fruity, with a pleasant hint of acidity. The taste is soft on the palate, thick? Fluffy? Soft and fluffy. The impression is that the softness of the sake stands out, although it naturally has the feeling of being a pure sake. The acidity gives it a sharpness that makes it easy to drink. The overall impression is that it is a "soft nama-shu. It is expected that the sake will become dull if it is left for a little time. (Although letting it sit for a while is not the original way to enjoy nama-shu.) Since this sake is from Toyama City, I would definitely like to pair it with seafood. This time, I will enjoy it with simple sashimi. Tomorrow, I plan to enjoy it with simmered shrimp and hagi. We hope you enjoy it.

The aroma is not quite fruity, but refreshingly sweet. The taste is clear and sweet with a lingering sweetness. The impression is of the straightforward sweetness and gentle ginjo aroma characteristic of Yamagata Prefecture's sweet sake. There is also a balancing impression of Yamada-Nishiki. The slight bubbles and the broad, dark flavor offset each other and lead to a pleasant aftertaste. There is little bitterness derived from the raw sake, so the sharpness is not as strong as it could be. There is no doubt that this is a strong-flavored sake in the Shinomine style. I like it and often repeat it. There are other famous sake breweries in the Katsuragi mountain range, including Gosho City where the brewery is located. I would like to visit this place someday. Following the Shinshu Kamerei, this is another sake that I would like to enjoy quietly and without any particular accompaniment. Please try it.

Good morning, Sake My Life 😃. Shinomine! It's the first Nara sake 🍶 that I want to try right now 🤗but the liquor store I usually go to doesn't have it 🥲I'd like to find it and drink it 😋.

Good morning, Jay & Nobby! Shinomine's is really delicious, so you should definitely try it! I think it matches your taste from Jay & Nobby's post! If you go to the center of Tokyo, I'm sure you'll find some!

Aroma of maturity, sour aroma similar to that of yogurt Mellow sweet, moderately sweet, not as acidic as the aroma, lightness due to the 12° Alben, and the plus/minus from the sense of maturity, which comes out as a moderate sweetness, sweet, but in a sense, in-between (umami).

Label stained due to being wrapped in newspaper. The aroma is similar to that of the packing slip, with a greater proportion of freshness than creaminess. The taste is still fresh and sweet. The origin of the freshness may be the sharpness that moderately eliminates the lingering aftertaste. This sharpness also differs from acidity. It is true that a moderate acidity is also effective, but it is not the only sensation. I have always wondered what the slight bubbling sensation on the tip of the tongue is in hi-ire sake. Why do I feel this when the sake is not raw, and why is it not twice-hikkaizu but once-hikkaizu? These are questions that are common to the sake that I sometimes find tasty. As I mentioned above, there seems to be a difference in the way the sweetness stands out in the flavor compared to Kamo Nishiki, which is a Niigata limited edition. The sweetness of Kamonishiki spreads out softly and horizontally, while the sweetness of Kamonishiki stands out more like a vertical ellipse. It has gone on for a long time, but to be honest, you don't need any snacks just for this. Personally, I don't think it is a food sake. However, the good thing is that it can be enjoyed in a completely different genre than a food sake. I feel like I'm going to lose it today. Please try it.

Sake My Life Yikes - great review: ☺️ I think I understand the question of fire-roasting. I'll have to think about it next time 😋. I would love to try Shinshu Kamerei, but it's too bad I can't buy it 😢.

The aroma is matte and fruity. There is also a mellow, slightly dashi-like flavor, though this may be due to drunkenness. The taste is well-balanced between sweetness and slight carbonation. And the taste is very strong. It is my favorite flavor. To be honest, it has a great taste that can be enjoyed with oily food. If you want, you can enjoy it with just one bottle. I also like "Tsanbatsu" type sake very much, so it must be one of the three sake breweries that I personally recommend. Today, I'm going to try it with hormone. Please try it!

Location: Aizuwakamatsu City Place of purchase: Izumiya Sake Shop The aroma has a soft lactic acidity. The aroma is like that of white wine, which is often used as an analogy. The first impression of the taste is "fluffy". This soft fluffiness is honestly very pleasant. However, you can also feel the firm outline of the acidity. There is almost no sticking point, yet it gives a sense of mellowness. It has a very high degree of perfection. If I were to use an analogy, it would be a Trump Tower that will never collapse. I am ashamed to say it, but that is exactly what it feels like. Personally, I feel as if I have been shown a new vector and an example. This is why sake is so interesting. This is why sake is so interesting. The lightly simmered chicken wings may have been a little too strong. Please try it.

Sake My Life
Kato Kahachiro Sake Brewery Daisen, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture (As a first step to tell you, this bottle will be made in August 2023, so the brewery recommends it. It may not be the way to drink it) The aroma is fruity, somewhere between matte and juicy. The aroma is sour like yogurt. It also has a creamy feel. The taste is refreshingly sweet. The sweetness makes it hard to get tired of drinking. The full-bodied sweetness of the wine keeps you from getting tired of drinking it. However, it should have been drunk earlier as it has an undeniable sense of aging. (That may be why it has a creamy aroma.) I drank the nama sake earlier, but I prefer this one, which has a calmer taste. It depends on the occasion, but my personal preference would be fire-aged sake.

Sake My Life
Aoki Sake Brewery Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is mild, juicy and fruity. The first impression of the taste is "thick", and it has a strong punch, probably due to its 17% alcohol content. It is more of a sweet wine, but it is a good middle ground between sweet and savory. The flavor is both rich and crisp. The richness is especially noticeable. To be honest, it does not have the flamboyance of Yamada-Nishiki, but it may be a bottle that makes the most of the potential of Yamada-Nishiki. I am looking for a sake that is more refreshing while maintaining this richness. Tsururei is the sake that got me started drinking sake, and after several years of drinking it, I feel differently about it. Since we are in the season of firefly squid, it should be a good match with seafood that has a few quirks. We hope you enjoy it.

Aburacho Sake Brewery Gosho City, Nara Prefecture The aroma is juicy and fruity, reminiscent of apples and pineapples. (A little frustrating, since the description said white strawberries and pears.) My first impression of the taste is a sense of calmness. The fizziness and sweetness are more subdued than when I drank it before. The acidity is not that strong and there is a mellow aftertaste. The explanation column says it is a challenge edition, and the clerk at the store where I bought it said it had been three years since he had tasted it. The brewery describes Yamada-Nishiki as having a "crisp taste typical of Yamada-Nishiki. I had thought that Yamada-Nishiki was all about flamboyance, but I discovered something new. I feel that the flamboyance in the hint of aroma and the sharpness of the flavor is one of the brewery's answers to this question. At times like this, a little fatty food would not be too much for the taste. I would like to try it with fried white fish. We hope you enjoy it.

Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is mild, but there is a creamy fruity note at the back. The taste is easy to drink with moderate acidity and sweetness. The taste is easy to drink with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness, with just a hint of bubbles. Coupled with this is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. It has the feel of a food sake for those who like sweet sake. The bitterness makes you want to eat more, but the sweetness also keeps you from getting tired of drinking it. A good sake. Since today is my day off, I'm going to try it with steak, cured ham wrapped with kaiware, and many other things. Please try it.

Takachiyo Shuzo Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is light and fruity, green apple type? The texture has a coarse, sticky feeling on the tongue, and the richness of the wine is apparent. The fermentation seems to have progressed well since it was made in November last year, and the sharpness from the alcohol is strong, so it is far from the sweet sensation I had before. I made a mistake in the storage conditions and the proper timing of purchasing the sake. We will serve it with hokke. Please try it. Recently, I have been thinking that I don't have enough vocabulary for taste. I need to study more.

Murayu Sake Brewery Akiba-ku, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is in the fruity category, but very koji rice aroma is strong. Is it a pre-fruity stage? I described it as koji rice, but it also has a citrusy aroma. I would like to study the relationship between these aromas in the future. The taste is sweet but has a certain sharpness, so it is not sticky. The ratio of sweetness to sharpness is 7:3. I appreciate that it is a draft sake, so it is lighter than the Murayu I drank before. I agree with other Sake-no-wa users who note that it should be left for a few days. Looking forward to the acidity and robust sweetness from the oxidation. I will have it with mussel sashimi. Please try it. Four days later, I drank it again. The aroma was mellow and fruity without the koji aroma. The taste tapered off, but it was richer. It was a good discovery that the aroma had calmed down after the brewer let it sit for a while. Also, the aroma is like dark sugar, which may have something to do with the koji aroma.

Takeda Sake Brewery Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is fruity, with a beautiful floral note derived from alcohol. The taste is very intense. Sake lovers will love it. It is a mellow sweet sake. Since it was produced in December, it also has a rich umami flavor, like a matured or a few-day-old sake. It is considered to go well with salty snacks.

Kamo Nishiki Junmai Ginjo Nama Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is sour and fruity. Almost in the middle of juicy and matte. The taste is sweet with a sharpness derived from the acidity. It has a strong lactic acidity. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and has a lingering sharpness from the alcohol that is not unpleasant. The higher grade sake "Kafuda-shu" series seems to have a more tranquil sweetness and sharpness. However, it is difficult to compare the regular type sold in Niigata Prefecture with the "Kafuda-shu" and "Brilliance" series sold outside Niigata Prefecture, for better or worse, making it difficult to see the vertical axis of the sake brewery. If it is as sharp as this, there should be no problem even if it is a hokke. The combination of sweetness and sharpness seems to be a recent trend, but it is likely to become the most orthodox standard in the current sake trend as a way of choosing dishes to match. We hope you will try it.
