I bought another one of these Sanzu. I can't help it, it's delicious. Something about it made me feel it was drier than the last time I drank it. I may be mixing it up with Futafarm, but the overall flavor of the rice and a hint of sweetness spread out, and the bitter taste made it seem a bit drier than I imagined.

酒のくりはら

I've been drinking a lot of sweet sake lately, which I like, and I'm a little tired. I was looking for something a little more orthodox and tasty, so I went for Collage and Miyazumi, but for some reason I bought Ippakusuisei MovingSaturday. I still can't explain why I bought this one, but it is delicious. I think it is one of the sweeter Isshiro Suisei. It is basically composed of umami and sweetness, and is held together by a moderate acidity. The aroma is gorgeous and pleasant. In the end, it was my favorite sake again.

Abeno Green is probably my first. At 13% alcohol, it seems light. It also has a pleasantly shwashy, spring-like feel. It has a pleasantly tasty and acidic flavor, and is rounded out by a sweetness that is not overpowering. As you drink it, you can feel some lactic acid bacteria, and there is a sense of calpis. Overall, it is so refreshing that it can be enjoyed while eating, but it is recommended to drink it slowly because you can enjoy the aftertaste rather than the sharpness.

Hi Jay & Nobby. Yes, it is. It's hard to drink slowly. I usually try to drink a four-pack over three days, but Abe-san drank it slowly and it was gone in two days.

The perfect sake for people who like a clean dry sake and me who like a clean sweet sake to drink together. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, and the umami and sweetness are well balanced. There is almost no acidity, and it finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness. It is a sake that can be enjoyed as a mealtime drink or perhaps just as a sake, and you will never get tired of it.

I went to the sacred Koyama Shoten for the first time. If there were such a store nearby, I would go there every day. I am glad there is no such a place nearby. There were many things I wanted, but I started with Kudokibe Jr. Even for a junmai daiginjo, it had a rather robust umami, wrapped in a refined sweetness, and finished with a gentle bitterness. It was delicious.

Aka Tube with a clean fruity feel. A bit expensive. No description but Junmai Daiginjo specs. I had never seen this one before, so I was curious and bought it. It has a fresh aroma and a clean mouthfeel, which is typical of Akabu, but the acidity is a bit different? I think this is a matter of taste, but I prefer to taste the acidity at the beginning or at the end, but the sourness is felt in the middle. It is a slightly different Akabu.

I found a bottle of Jikin's Sake Mirai that had somehow fallen asleep at the liquor store. It was a 2017 aged sake, but I bought it just to see what it would be like. It was no good. The umami in the middle was gone, and there was a peculiar sourness and bitterness. The aroma was mild and chocolatey. I honestly don't know if I simply don't like aged sake or if this aging process is not going well, but I would like to try a properly aged sake next time.

The last one is the birthplace, Five Farms. The last time I bought and drank it myself was at two farms. I honestly can't tell the difference in taste between the two farms, but I think this one is a little more refreshing. I think the Ni-Farm was sweeter than the other one. (This is completely my own personal opinion.) At the end of a meal, it's very nice to feel it flow nicely, but in reality, it's a delicious drink at the beginning, in the middle, or anytime.

Only those who chase two hares will catch two hares. Such a cryptic catchphrase, isn't it? The taste is soft, with a sweetness that is typical of Aizan, and is nicely integrated, just like a Junmai Daiginjo. The aroma is moderate, and the overall sense of cohesion is high for a draft sake. It must be really hard to make. When drinking it, you want to kill two birds with one stone.

The first drink at a sushi restaurant. It starts with a seasonal light nigori. It is slightly sweet and the nigori is silky. It is not too assertive, but it supports the flavor of the dish well. It is delicious.

Abe after a long time. A cup without mixing at first. The flavor and sweetness are well balanced, and the taste is exquisite, just on the edge of not being overpowering. When you stir in the cage, a slight bitterness forms the outline of the flavor. The sweetness and umami also increase by half a level. The alcohol content is also moderate, so you can drink it as much as you like.

At a Japanese restaurant. I asked for a clear sweet sake, and Hirotogawa was served. I thought it was too stable and boring, but when I drank it, I found it to be delicious. It is very rare to find such a beautiful sweet sake. It has no bitterness at all, so it is simple and goes well with meals. There should be a bottle of Hirotogawa in the family.

The vivid pink is an impressive ukiyoke. It compulsively makes you feel like spring. Do not mix at first. It gives an impression of sweetness and spiciness. When mixed with cage, the sweetness simply increases. There is no unnecessary complexity or peculiarity, and the flavor direction is clearer and tastier when mixed.

It's still cold, but it feels like spring. Has it been a long time since Senkou itself? I don't have such a good memory of taste that I can remember last year's sakura, but I think I like it better than last year's. It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness, which is typical of Sentori, and is easy to drink. Even when intertwined with ori, it is pleasant because the clarity of the flavor remains.

Tobiramen is often recommended by Sake-no-Wawa. I'm sure it's my favorite flavor, but I don't really like the label and I simply haven't seen it very often, so this is the first time I've bought it. A bit expensive one. It's rather sweet as I imagined, but with a fine sprinkling of sourness and umami. It has a pleasant taste coupled with a slight effervescence that you can feel. It is delicious.

It is a wonderful achievement that can be drunk after Jikin. It has a strong umami flavor, yet it is gorgeous and fruity. It is not too heavy. I wish they would make a lot of them without calling them limited edition.

At a good Japanese izakaya. If there is a Jikin, of course I would order it. Junmai's umami, sweetness, and transparency. It has a clear and crisp taste without bitterness. It is perfect. I wish I could have it delivered to my house every month.

It's delicious. I have been enjoying Aizan recently, and I like the balance between the sweetness that is typical of Aizan and the bitterness (knowingly) derived from Omachi the best. It has a sweet mouthfeel and the bitterness gives it a nice kick. It has a slightly fizzy taste at first, but after a few days, it settles down and becomes smoother. The change is also nice.
