The smell after opening the bottle is similar to that of Taka. The label on the back of the bottle reads, "Fermentation induced and matured to improve drinkability, with a richness that is hard to believe at 13% alcohol, but with a taste that is easy to drink and has a sharpness that leaves the tongue. As the label says, it was rich and easy to drink despite its low alcohol content 🤗. Personally, I thought it was easy to drink and could go down smoothly, but I thought it was too sweet to keep drinking 🤔. It's like a glass before dinner 😚. Alcohol content: 13%. Polishing ratio: 60

This is the first time I'm having this 🍶😁. I also bought a Yoshi 😊. I can taste a slight sweetness, but it's not sweet, sour, spicy or bitter, it's an incomparable taste, or should I say one of the umami tastes? I'm appalled at my own lack of taste buds 😭. Here is an excerpt of the liquor store's comment 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 Maruka Oyamama Tsuyousei Taka is a dry brew in contrast to Yoshi! It has a fruity aroma of green apples and citrus fruits with a cool, refreshing sensation down the throat, and is a crisp type that is less sweet than dry! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 It is a draft sake, but they say it can be heated, so next time I will try it with heated sake 🤔. Alcohol level: 16 degrees Celsius Rice polishing ratio: 60 Other specs: unknown 10/31 Second day after opening the bottle I served it lukewarm with dumplings as a snack 😄. Like the other 🍶, it seems to have more acidity and sweetness 😁 I think the sweetness is because I had the gyoza🥟 with a lot of hot oil 😅. 11/1, 3rd day after opening the bottle. It was served well chilled ☺️ The sweetness is still the same, but it is pungent and sharp, with a slight bitterness on the palate 🤔. I had it by itself to check the taste, but this is a food sake 😚.

When opened, it has a fresh fruit aroma like fizzy and tangy melon🍈, and a smooth texture on the tongue. The soft umami without any hint of nastiness and the fresh and delicate acidity are beautifully followed by a slight moderate bitterness that finishes off the palate 😊. All the Genzai are very tasty and easy to drink 🍶🥰. Rice : 100% Aizu Fukunoka Rice polishing ratio : 50%. Sake degree : -4.0 to -6.0 Acidity: 1.4 - 1.6 Alcohol content: 15

New sake has started to appear, so we decided to have autumn sake while it is still in season 😁. I can smell it but there is no way to describe it 😰. Strong acidity followed by a slight sweetness that finishes with spiciness 🤔. Pungency > sourness > sweetness The label is designed as a pear 🍐 and I feel it is fruity, but I have never tasted a pear ⁇ It tastes completely different from Igarashi from the same brewery 🤗. Igarashi is also very delicious 🍶, but it has a different taste, but Tenranzan is just as delicious 🍶. ☺️ I look forward to visiting the brewery when I go back home 😋. Alcohol content: 17%. Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Rice used for making sake (Sake-mother/Koji): Sake Musashi Rice used for making (Kake rice): Sai-no-Kagayaki The 2nd day after opening the bottle The acidity has gone, but it has transformed into a mild sweetness, and the moderate spiciness makes it crisp and clean 😘. The taste has changed from sweetness > spiciness Personally, I think it tastes better than right after opening the bottle 🥰.

No aroma Sweet and fruity taste, but the spiciness prevails greatly 🤔.

It is the season for autumn sake, but today we opened a bottle of "Takachiyo" Hanabukiyuki, a spring sake we received as a gift 🥂. Slight aroma like melon 😁. Excellent sweetness and acidity 🥰. Slight bitterness and a hint of melon 😍. I've been wanting to drink "Takachiyo" for a long time, and not only is it a no-brainer, it's a jackpot 🎯🍶: ☺️ Alcohol: 16%.

It's a liquor store's hanpukai 🍶. The label on the back reads, Unlike the style of Kaze Mita, which has always drawn out the full potential of single rice varieties such as Yamadanishiki and Aizan, we use the assemblage technique. The assemblage technique delivers a world of three-dimensionality that could not be expressed by a single raw material rice. We hope you will feel that we are not just adding up the rice, but rather taking a characteristic good taste and bringing it to a higher level, or in a sense, multiplying its shortcomings to a minus x minus = plus by assemblage. I don't know what rice was used as the raw material for the sake. I can't describe the taste well, but it tastes like green vegetables 🫛, pungent and sharp 😯. I got the impression that it would be better to leave it a little 🤔 (personal opinion). Ingredients:Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Alcoholicity: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

The sixth brewery in Chiba Prefecture is one of my favorites, Kangiku Meikozo in Yamatake City🥰. We were served Identity- So no Mai 50 from the Discovery series 😘. I wanted to buy all 4 bottles, but my pocketbook was sad. This 🍶 is on the brewery's website, We feel that this annual effort is steadily improving the quality of our sake, as we were the first to win a prize at the National New Sake Competition this year (2025) for the Junmai standard (Silver Lining) for So no Mai rice produced in Chiba Prefecture. So this year's guess is So no Mai with a yellow label. and we chose the yellow label🤩. Is this really 🍶? Sweet and sour juicy, rice flavor in the aftertaste, very delicious 🍶 ☺️ Alcohol : 14 Sake degree : -5 Acidity: 1.6 Amino acidity: 0.9 Rice used: 80% So-no-Mai produced in Chiba Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 50

A gift from my daughter 🎁. This is the first time I've had tani-sen: ☺️ When I hear of Tsuruno Sake Brewery that brews Tanisen, I remember staying at a drive-in near Ukawa station to visit the grave before the Noto Line of the Noto Railway was still closed 🫠. This is a collaboration with Tenryohai Brewery on Sado Island as part of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Reconstruction Assistance Joint Brewing Project [Part 4] 🤗. The aroma is slightly muscat-like. The taste is first sourness, then rice flavor, then sweetness, and finally acidity. Not too sweet, very easy to drink and delicious 🍶😋. Ingredients : Rice (domestic) Rice Koji (domestic rice) Yeast ： Kanazawa yeast Rice Polishing Ratio ： 55 Alcohol ： 13.5

I don't know if my nose is bad, but I don't detect any aroma. Fruity flavor, but not too sweet, just right 🥰. Delicious 🍶 as it is reputed to be. I've read on a few websites that it's more dry 🍶, but as an amateur sake drinker, it's a little sweeter and easier to drink for me 😅. Maybe because I don't compare 🍶 drinks very often, I can't describe the difference in taste and flavor well 😭.

It's the 🍶 of the liquor store's hanpukai! This is my first time to try Takihama 😀. It is the first 80% polished rice 🍶 and when served cold, it tastes more like rice umami🌾 than sweetness and acidity. It has a slight bitterness that finishes off after the sweetness and acidity 🤔. When served warmed, the sourness changes to a sour taste when lukewarm 😱. I think it settles down when it's hot 😉 (personal opinion) (This is my personal opinion) Alcohol content: 16%.

There was no brewery or sake name registered at Sake-no-Wa 😭 The fifth local Chiba brewery, Iida Honke in Katori City, gave us their Ohime Junmai Sake 🤗. I bought it in May at the brewery and kept it at room temperature to warm up during the cold rainy season, but the cold rainy season never came, so today I had it at room temperature 😋. No smell, clear and colorless. It was a little sour with a hint of umami rather than sourness 🤔. I'll have it warmed up next time 😅 Alcohol level: 15 degrees Polishing ratio: 60 The 2nd day after opening the bottle Today we had it warmed up 😚 First it was warmed up to lukewarm. First it was warmed to lukewarm, the acidity was more pronounced with a slight sweetness, better than room temperature. ☺️ Next, hot sake, more acidity and umami: ☺️ Very tasty😍!
