I got a Line from the liquor store and it was limited and first time 🍶, so I asked for a hold on it as soon as possible🤗.
No smell, when served on its own, it has a smooth sweet taste followed by a strong bitter taste 🤔Alcoholic, but not too much alcohol smell 🙂.
I'm going to try it in the future to see what kind of food it goes with as a food wine 😅.
The label on the back says that the specs were not disclosed because they wanted people to enjoy the pure taste of the sake without being confused by the numbers 🤔.

It was delicious and rich in umami 😅

The first sip after opening the bottle showed sweetness and a sourness that exceeded the sweetness, but from the second sip, the sweetness disappeared and the sourness, or perhaps the umami of the rice? From the second sip, the sweetness disappeared and the sourness, or perhaps the umami of the rice, spread out and seemed to be broken up by a slight bitterness.

The 🍶 opened on Sake Day was Akabu Shuzo's Kohaku.
I have been curious about Akabu for some time 🍶 and this was the first time I had it.
As usual, my impression of the 🍶 alone was that it had no smell, and on the palate it had a lychee-like sweetness with a slight sourness, followed by a rush of bitterness.🍶 The 🍶 was a little bitter, but it was not too sweet, and it was not too sweet.
The sweetness seemed to increase as I turned the 🍶 in my mouth.
Alcohol level: 13 degrees Celsius

Opened on the 2nd day.
It had transformed into a delicious 🍶 with a good balance of sweetness, sourness, bitterness and umami 🥰 and was very tasty. 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️

After the two sake tasting, we were served Ryoseki Akita Limited Junmai Sake 😁.
We had fried grouper and grouper minced meat with our entrée 🤤.
I don't remember much of the taste, probably because the entrée was too delicious and the amount of sake we drank exceeded what we usually drink at home 🥲.
Still, I was able to drink it easily, so there is no doubt that it was delicious 🍶🥰.

The second brew from the Ryoseki Brewery's 2 sake tasting, the one on the right is Rz55 Kame no O 😃.
I chose it because of the name 😅.

I can't describe it as I have no sense of taste 🙇.

Ryoseki Shuzo's two different types of sake 😄.
The first cup, the Suitama on the left, was chosen for its sweetness with a Sake strength of -4.8 😋.
The first sip was sweet at first, but later the umami of the rice spread to the palate 😊.
From the second sip, I didn't feel much sweetness, probably because the umami flavor was still in my mouth 🤔.

It's sake from the liquor store's hanpukai!
This is my first time drinking Nichinichi!
It contains carbon dioxide gas from the fermentation process, so when I opened the bottle, there was a popping sound and the glass was full of carbonated particles!
According to the liquor store lady in May, the best time to drink this sake is in July if it is kept at room temperature, but we had it a month later.
The spiciness spread on the palate.
After opening the bottle, we were told that it should be kept refrigerated standing up, so we immediately put it in the refrigerator!
Alcohol content: 12 degrees Celsius
Rice: 100% Hozu produced in the Kikuchi River basin, Kumamoto Prefecture

The sake we chose for our commemorative 100th check-in was also from Kangiku 🍶.
It had been in the fridge for almost a year!
It smells like muscat, tastes fruity but not too sweet, and the bitterness at the end is just right!
The taste is fruity but not too sweet, with just the right amount of bitterness at the end.
I regretted that I should have drunk it right away.

Thank you, Manta 😊.
It's really a strange thing about 🍶 isn't it?
Normally, we tend to think that they are shipped when they are ready to drink, but there are some that are stored at room temperature and are ready to drink after 2 months.
It's very deep 🤔.
