My favorite Tasake special junmai. It has a perfect balance of sweetness, umami, bitterness, and spiciness. I often introduce it as one of my favorite sake when I am asked for a good sake.
I had a chance to pass by the Kuroryu Sake Brewery and stopped by the brewery. I bought a sake cup and this sake as a commemorative gift.
I felt guilty about drinking sake with ice, but I gave it a try. I had no impression that the sake was diluted by adding ice. The sake is well chilled and refreshing, with a well-balanced aroma of cucumber, umami, and sweetness. The technique of designing this sake with the assumption that it will be served with ice is brilliant 👏.
This is the first Miyakanme. Fruity and gorgeous, with a clean and crisp aftertaste. This is delicious 😋.
I found a special distributor, so I want to try the whole series.
Elegant sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a clear taste with no clutter. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake with a sense of body, but not too light.
Sweet and fruity sparkling sake. An easy-to-drink sake that appeals to everyone. A perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The company's goal is to create a sake that you will want to drink as a toast and then again at the end of the meal, and they have achieved this goal beautifully.
The standard Hirotogawa special junmai. Served with eel bento. It is a sake with the flavor and sweetness of rice, so it goes well with almost anything that goes with white rice. Stable taste.
The first summer dobrokku I was able to buy! Nigori sake from Hachinohe Shuzo, the brewer of Mutsu Hachisen.
Grapefruit flavor! Creamy mouthfeel, refreshing sweetness, then crisp and clean. It is a dry sake with a sweet taste 🍶 and 13% alcohol content, which makes it easy to drink!
Repeat purchase because it was so good last year. It is light and creamy with a crisp and refreshing taste. I enjoyed it again this year ✨Wakanami Brewery never fails to deliver!
Hirotogawa has been around for a long time. The taste is stable and relaxing. The sweetness and flavor of the rice makes it a perfect accompaniment to any food. The best part is that it can be stored at room temperature without losing its flavor.
After agonizing over junmai ginjo Yuyama or Aizan, I chose Aizan. It was juicy, sweet and delicious. Toyo Bijin + Aizan, so it had to be good. Next time, I want to try Omachi.
My mother-in-law, who does not drink sake, unexpectedly brought me a gift of Kinjaku Daiginjo!
She said she bought it because the store owner recommended it as a rare sake. I was too happy!
It tasted like pineapple with a fruity aroma and an elegant, dense sweetness like honey. It was a beautiful sake✨.
On a camping trip to Shiso, I stopped by Sanyo Hai Sake Brewery and purchased a store limited edition sake and a boar cup.
The taste is refreshingly sweet and silky, just as the label says. It is in the modern seasonal sake lineage of Banshu Isshu Ikkyo, which I quite like.
We chibi-chibi'd it over a bonfire. 🏕️
I received this as a Saga souvenir from a neighbor.
It is 39% polished rice and has a clear yet umami taste. It has a nice sharpness and was a perfect match for the sashimi of Japanese horseradish.
Purchased on the way back from a camping trip to Nose. It is a very heavy sake, but since it was well chilled, it was easy to drink and empty right away.
The design of the cup is cute and I will not throw it away but use it for everyday use 🦌.
The taste is so clean and free of clutter that it is hard to believe that it is 80% polished.
It has the sweetness typical of Aizan, a tangy gasiness, a slight sourness, and bitterness in the aftertaste. It is a bottle filled with the good points of Kaze no Mori.
