One of 9556 bottles brewed last year. It was given to me by a senior sake lover. It has a refreshing, clean taste with a subtle, nice aroma and a rather spicy aftertaste.
My first impression was that it smelled like caramel when I drank it. And yet it is a refreshing drink, so I thought it was interesting. I think it is good as a food sake!
This nigori sake has a refreshing sweetness and a slightly tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. It is an easy-to-drink nigori sake, as it is smooth without being heavy in taste.
I wasn't going to drink it today, but I had a bad day and drank it. (Laughs) It has a nice aroma in the mouth first, and a little bit of spiciness lingers in the aftertaste. It is a delicious sake with various specialties: duck farming, handmade, Gohyakumangoku, and Kamizanku Nakakumi.
The first sake of 2024 is Abekan from Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture. It is dry with a rather sour taste and a lingering aftertaste. We drank it chilled, but we think it could also be enjoyed hot.
In the mouth, you will feel a unique alcohol release and a strong flavor. But the alcohol content is low at 13 degrees. It is refreshing, but the lingering aroma and taste lasts for a surprisingly long time.
I bought the label and it was a very tasty sake. It has a nice aroma that spreads in your mouth, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing without any habits. I think some people may feel it is not enough, but I am sure it would make a good gift.
It is a dry, refreshing, and light junmai sake. I drank it cold, but the light flavor left something to be desired, so it would probably be more enjoyable hot.
It says it is slightly sweet, but it feels dry. I drank it consciously many times as if to check myself, but it does not feel sweet ^^; It is made from Fukunoka, rice for sake in Fukushima. The aftertaste is refreshing.
I drank it at room temperature and was impressed by its full and rich flavor. Afterwards, I was surprised that it was surprisingly refreshing. It might be good to drink with a meal.
It is refreshing to drink, but leaves a lingering spiciness in the aftertaste. It does not interfere with the meal, but still leaves you with the satisfaction of drinking sake.
Being a Junmai Daiginjo, the aroma, sweetness, and a slightly tangy sourness on the tongue can be felt at first, but the nigori sake has a refreshing aftertaste. It was recommended to me by the store owner, and he was right.
It is round in the mouth for a moment, but soon the aroma and alcohol leaves a lingering aftertaste as it passes through the nose. I drank it while eating cucumber sticks with miso, and it went well with it!
New sake that requires refrigeration. This sake was made to be the ultimate food sake. The first sip has a strong alcohol taste, a little acidity, and a nice aroma, but it quickly fades away and the palate is refreshed (is this what is called "sharpness"?).
It is a gift. Is the label out of standard? The helmet of Date Masamune pops out. The aroma is moderate, the mouthfeel is pleasant and easy to drink, and the aftertaste is elegant with a hint of spiciness. The cork can be opened by pulling it open. It is a wine-like bottle.
This sake was made for Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture. It is a refreshing and rather dry sake, and although it is undiluted, it is perfect as a food sake.
The alcohol content is slightly high and dry, so it seems refreshing but has a long aftertaste. Personally, I felt that the flavor was rather strong, so it would be good to drink it with a light and light side dish such as chilled tofu.
Junmai sake made with rice called Ichibanboshi, produced in Ushioji City, Ibaraki Prefecture. I had visited the brewery once before the Corona disaster! It is crisp, punchy, dry, and quite refreshing, so I felt it was perfect as a food sake.
It doesn't have much of an aroma, but when you drink it, it's quite punchy? It is a dry sake. It is a dry sake with a hint of sweetness and acidity, but don't be fooled by the label. There is a hint of sweetness and acidity, but don't be fooled by the label.
The label says "bottled fresh, bottle-fired, and kept at ice temperature in the bottle," so it is a sake made with care. Incidentally, Homare Sake Brewery is the family home of freelance announcer Yumi Karahashi, and this sake was made there.
