ずくだせ！信州の日本酒

When served cold, it has a refreshing fruity sweet and sour taste, with a good sharpness due to its firm acidity, and a lingering hint of sweetness. The refreshing fruity taste and excellent balance make it a perfect summer-only release! The elegant sweet and sour taste is well understood by everyone who describes it as being like muscat. When lukewarm, the sweet and sour taste intensifies, but the balance is not good, so it is best not to warm it up. On the second day, the acidity subsides and the taste is more mature and fruity, not bad, but I was surprised at how much it changed. If I find it again next year, I'll definitely buy it!

Hi baya 😃 Cicadas! It's delicious 🤗 I prefer not to heat it up 😆 helpful 😁. This year I drank it over a few days and it did indeed feel more rounded 🤔 it's essentially a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! Forgot to reply, sorry... I know it's a little late, but I think summer sake tastes best on the first day, probably because of the balance of acidity. I like the second day better for non-summer sake, as it becomes mellower.

When served cold, it has a juicy, sweet and sour taste with a lingering sweet and sour aftertaste. When served lukewarm, the sweet and sour taste becomes stronger and more gentle. On the second day, the juiciness subsides and the main taste is sweet and umami, which is also possible. The name "Hoshikai" may be more appropriate after the second day, but I prefer it from the first day when it is cold to chilled. Kangiku is good no matter what you drink, but recently they have been releasing so many limited edition sake that I can't keep up with them...

Mildly acidic when served hiya, mildly mellow and mild when heated, classic light to medium-bodied flavor with few peculiarities. Easy to drink, mellow and umakuchi-like flavor that is easy to enjoy with any accompaniment. It tastes better when heated, and is not to be underestimated as a Niigata cup sake.

When served cold, it has a mellow sweet-ami acidity, and the way the orioles enter the bottle is like rain, hence the name "Raindrop", and indeed, the way the orioles enter the bottle is beautiful! It has a strong sweet umami taste, which is only possible with orikara, and the lingering taste is subtle and gentle, and is unquestionably delicious! When warmed up to lukewarm, the sweet-amami acidity is enhanced while still being gentle, which is also a good thing. I prefer the taste between cold and hot sake. The acidity is less lemon-like than the previous Reborn, but the taste is mellow and gentle.

My memory of the last time I drank this sake was a bit fuzzy, so I tried it again warmed up. A classic medium-bodied sake with a mellow, mellow, dry mouthfeel that is reminiscent of old-fashioned sake. Great with sashimi and chilled tofu! It has a strong and somewhat comforting flavor that reminds us that Niigata's traditional sake is not only light and dry.

I found a cup of sake in Niigata, and when served cold, it has a clear, light, yet gentle taste, and is sharp and refreshing, so you can choose what to drink with it. It has a classic light-bodied taste, which makes you feel like you are drinking good old-fashioned sake from Niigata.

When served cold, it has a clean, crisp, safe, classic flavor. It becomes easier to drink towards the hiya stage. When served lukewarm, it is not as good as it should be because of the strong alcohol taste. It's been a long time since I've been tempted to say clearly that lukewarm heating is a no-no. I was excited to start drinking this sake because it was a freshly stored sake from the Shibari Tsuru line, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations.

When served cold, it has a refreshing sweet and sour taste with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste and a refreshing sweet and sour taste that lingers in the aftertaste. When served lukewarm, the sweet and sour taste intensifies, but the acidity in particular is too strong and the balance is not good. It reminds me of the sweet and sour innocence of my boyhood (which I have beautified, extracted only the best parts, and thickened them). And by the way, the third one is my favorite combination of beer balls we drank together. This combination makes a uniquely rich red eye, 5:1 for me and 8:1 for Kami! I hope you will try it out as you find your favorite ratio!

Myokozan has an image of having a classic axis, but this one has a modern, light sweet/acid axis at first, and after a few days, it becomes a classic axis just as it is supposed to be. The bitterness is low, but the sharpness is good, probably due to the alcohol content, and the lingering taste is slightly sweet and umami. The sake highball at 1:1 tastes like a sake shochu highball without the peculiarities of the sake. If you chill it in the freezer until it is almost frozen, the sweetness and umami taste is reduced and it becomes something with a strong alcohol taste and a refreshing sake flavor, which I don't like. If you warm it up to lukewarm, the alcohol attack is stronger, and I don't like that either. This is the first brand that I have found that I like best with a sake highball, which is interesting!

The lid flew off when I opened the bottle. It has a fruity sweet/tart/acidic taste with a strong gasiness, no bitterness in the aftertaste, and a loose sweet/tart/acid aftertaste. When warmed up to lukewarm, the sweet and sour taste becomes stronger, and the taste is mild. I don't like the gaseous taste of sake, not only Kangiku, so I shook it as hard as I could as soon as I opened it to get rid of the gaseous taste. Even without the gassiness, it is still delicious, in fact, I prefer it without it.

When served cold, it has a moderate sweet-tart acidity and a firm bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit. When served lukewarm, the taste is more gentle and the bitterness is less pronounced. When heated, it tastes like a normal, featureless sake, and should not be heated. On the second day, the bitterness subsides and the taste becomes more gentle at all temperatures. It is best served lukewarm, and more than half of it is served lukewarm.

When you drink the top clear part of the bottle cold, it has a clear sweet and bitter taste with a gaseous sensation and a crisp aftertaste. When mixed with the lees, it has a great sweet-umami taste. It is delicious cold, but as it becomes hiya, the sweet-umami taste increases and becomes more balanced to your liking. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste with a good sharpness. When lukewarm, the bitterness subsides and the sweetness and acidity increase. I prefer it lukewarm. It has a sweet umami, but it also has bitterness, making it taste like a modern medium body, not light.

When served cold, it has an interesting sweet, umami, acid, astringent, and bitter taste that is well balanced with a slight gassiness. When served lukewarm, the overall flavor becomes darker, and the acidic astringent bitterness in the aftertaste is bothersome, so it would be better not to serve lukewarm. I thought this might be the case, so I tried heating it up, and as expected, the acidity and bitterness subsided and the depth of the taste became apparent, giving it a fine and complex flavor. The complex tanginess is the foundation of the flavor, and the finish is wonderful, showing the deliciousness and potential of a sake made from rice. I realized the potential of hot sake just before finishing it, so it was a pity that I could only drink a small amount. Next time I'd like to try it hot from the first sip!

Good evening, baya-san. I always find it helpful to know about not only cold sake, but also lukewarm and hot sake. I never thought of Kaze no Mori as a hot sake. I am learning a lot from you.

We opened a bottle of Urahasen, which had been sitting in the refrigerator for a while, waiting for a chance to drink. When served cold, it has a sweet and juicy taste and is easy to drink. As it was served at room temperature, the sweet and juicy taste became stronger and more enjoyable. I regret drinking it at room temperature from the beginning, I prefer it at room temperature.

I wanted to drink it after seeing Hiraccio's post, so I found a cup of sake in Niigata and brought it home! I thought that cup sake should be heated up, so I served it heated. Gentle and mild, with a surprisingly sharp aftertaste. It's an excellent sake that doesn't require any snacks because of its gentle taste.
