Yiiiii~! Personally, I found it to be in the same vein as Sharaku, but it is more refreshing, very easy to drink, and too delicious! This is definitely a repeat customer! The label is stylish and nice! It would be great in a Western-style restaurant! Today's toast is chicken thigh stewed in red wine with tomatoes.

Hi mikomichio 😃 We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our first bottle of Mr. Morishima's Miyamanishiki! We were so shocked when we first tasted it that we immediately bought a bottle 🤗It sure goes well with western food too😙.

This is a repeat. My wife bought it, good choice! Mmmm... It is still too delicious! I was making beef shank stewed in red wine, so I matched it with it, and the strong and well-balanced Naraman matched the strong taste just right! This is like Ujiyasu Hojo in Nobunaga's Ambition.

Yummmm!!! This is my first "Niida Sanshu" and it is surprisingly good! It's my first time tasting it, but I'm already shocked that I want another bottle! Seriously, I'm going to hit the storehouse!

Yamamoto's "Do" Junmai Nigori Sake again! This is really delicious! It's refreshing and not too sweet, so it's scary that you find yourself drinking it! Fried sardines, the best of the season!

It's still delicious! A mild sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste! It's been a while since I tasted Sharaku, which made me realize how delicious sake is, and I'm blissfully happy! I got a tuna kamatoro to accompany it and climaxed in a heap😇!

I am a history buff, so I was curious about this brand! As a fruity Fukushima Prefecture person, I thought Niigata sake, a light and dry prefecture, would still be too hard for me to drink, but this! It's so delicious! And rather easy to drink! It has a rich rice flavor and a clean taste with no cloying aftertaste! And it goes well with anything, even ethnic dishes that are rather habit-forming! Shio Goro is so smooth that it makes you gooey! It will be gone in no time!

Delicious!!! The moment I drank it, I was in the army! Is it just me, or does it taste dry at all? It's true that it's not sweet, but it's clear, crisp, and fruity! I got some tuna, so I tried makimaki. Next time, I'll have to drink a bottle. Yamamoto is really good no matter what I drink!

A refreshingly tasty and spicy type! My favorite! I can taste the bitterness and sourness in this sake, and it tastes so good...! I have been drinking major brands so far. My wife bought this one, but I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of this brand (sorry). I drank a little bit every day and enjoyed the change in taste, but it became mellower and calmer day by day. It has a sharp and crisp flavor. Mmmm, yummy! I have no choice but to make a peperoncino with mancini linguine, small shrimp, mussels, and fresh local tomatoes and match it! (I don't know what that means!) Mmmm...! Fukushima has a dragon in Shirakawa! I guess so!

It's so delicious~! I am so impressed! It has a light, lychee-like sweet and sour taste, and the alcohol quickly cuts through! I heard that this one was made from rice harvested in a rice field called Hanasaka Sakaibai 22, which is part of the Jo series named after rice fields. The lot number is nice and premium. This makes me want to try the others! Aizu Musume is the best!

I was given a lifetime of youth! Akebono Shuzo is also popular for "Tenmei"! It is a special junmai (pure rice) with rich umami and sweetness, but with a tangy alcohol taste! Mmmmmmmmmmmm... This is delicious! I want to eat her home-cooked food every night (mystery)! Tonight, my body is an adult and my brain is a child! Youth for life!

We had nigori sake from Aizu Chusho! Wow! This is maggi and delicious! Nigori is so good, I just can't stop myself from buying it! It's not too sweet, but it's very smooth! I'm the kind of guy who is in high spirits and then wakes up drunk the next morning... 😂. I'm going to get drunk tonight too! But first, I'm going to make pork belly curry for the kids and then I'm just going to pass out (Hoshina).

Mmmm, yum! I like it very much! It's sweet and fruity, but with just the right amount of sweetness, acidity, and alcohol, it's not too heavy! I made a pizza with arugula and prosciutto ham by hand. Of course, the sake from Aizu in Fukushima is delicious, but the sake from Nakadori is also quite good! That's Fukushima! We enjoyed the sake from this year's New Sake Appreciation Gold Award-winning brewery!

Hi mikomichio 😃 We had this Abukuma a little while ago! We had it a while ago 😋 and you are right, it has the best balance of sweet, tasty & acidic 😋 ‼️ we like it a lot too 🤗.

This is Hirotogawa, which is rarely seen even in my hometown. It is the most cost-effective sake at less than 2,000 yen for a bottle! Of course it tastes great! It is a refreshingly delicious and spicy sake, or rather, it is a sake for eating! I respect and appreciate that a sake brewery with a strong brand name is producing this kind of sake! To finish off, please enjoy a black swallowtail that I happened to come across today!

I'm looking for something like this ^_^. In the San-in region, there are some for the local market, so I tend to buy them when I go there.

Oh, it's so good... I really like the taste. Fruity but not too sweet, clear and tangy aftertaste. The nigorigo was also good, so Yamamoto! No doubt about it! Today I had the peperoncino with mushrooms and fresh garlic, and I'd say I'm a fainting Koizumi Shinjiro 😂.

Amauma! Juicy with a hint of honey and powerful enough to impress in one bite! It is smooth, thick, and sweet. This sake is perfect before or after a meal! This is the quintessential Yamagata sake! It's Eiko Fuji!

It's delicious, isn't it? It has a sweet, fruity, rich, juicy, pineapple-banana taste. The aroma was strong and lingered for a long time. It was a very assertive sake, so I thought it would go well with Western food. So I made a bolognese and béchamel and made a doria. Yes, it's good!

This sake has a tremendous background: it was brewed by the Shirai Sake Brewery of "The Wind Blows" with yeast that has traveled through space. It is interesting, though I feel that we are entering a realm that I no longer understand! My wife bought this one at the event. The taste is a good balance of gorgeousness and dryness, and I like it~(tearful). As expected from the Shirai Brewery!

This nigori sake is so good! I've been curious about this sake since I saw it on the line at the liquor store. I got it before they sold out! Thank goodness it's locally available! This was my second bottle of sake that day. I was too drunk to remember the details of the taste, but I think it was a tangy taste with lactic acidity. It was 3:00 a.m. when I came to realize it was that kind of sake! My friend was also a big fan of it! For snacks, I made salted fried chicken with amazake, boiled the leftover skin in sweet and spicy sauce, and baked mentaiko dashi rolls. Too much salt!

A friend of mine who loves to drink came over and opened the bottle! I was looking forward to this Purple Sky! As the name suggests, it has a pineapple flavor! It is not as sweet as Kameizumi, so I guess some people may prefer this one! My friend was delighted with this delicious sake that also had the aroma of rice! My friend was delighted with the sake, and it was consumed in no time at all. There is only one store in my hometown that carries this sake, but it is a unique liquor store that is also the official distributor of Kojima Jeans (probably), and has an interesting selection.

I worked hard during the Golden Week holidays, and now it's my day off! Working is the best! Today I went to a liquor store. I was so happy to be able to buy everything I wanted! I'm a repeat buyer of "Shizen-go Sawayaka". It's still delicious! I really respect Oki Daikichi Honten. So in the afternoon, we went touring on a motorcycle. The destination was, of course... Mr. Daikichi Ohki (Tama)
