お酒は、たしなむ程度です。 ビールは、炭酸だし、苦いので飲めません。 焼酎も、苦手です。 ワインは、機会があれば、いただきます。 日本酒は、大好きです! ※火入れがしてあるのが良い。 ※生酒は、苦手。 純米大吟醸のような、甘口で華やかな銘柄が好きです。でも、最近は、お料理と一緒に楽しめる辛口の気分です。素敵な辛口の日本酒を探し求めています。

Arrrgggh!!! The mouthfeel is a bit intense. The alcohol hit me hard. After that, the aftertaste is wonderful ✨. I felt a soft sweetness on the tip of my tongue. It was very tasty with takuwon and cream cheese.

Oh, no! That was my first impression. The full-bodied flavor is irresistible. It's been a while since I've had it, but I could drink it easily. I am so happy! It is sweet. The taste is soft and fluffy. The alcohol comes in the aftertaste. The aftertaste is tangy and dry on the tip of the tongue. The sweetness does not linger. My respected boss liked this sake. I remember those days and feel somewhat sad. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

The bottle was opened and it has been four days. The overall impression is that the flavor has settled down. The sweetness has settled down and the acidity has become stronger. It was a bit "sour". When air was added, the taste became more cohesive. I still like it. I will work hard tomorrow, too. !!!!

Freshly opened✨ Oh, my God! Oh, yeah! That's fantastic ✨ It's a bit far, but I changed liquor stores. Then I found several of my favorite brands. I'm so glad. This time, I bought my old favorite brand, not a new one. The aroma was not so good. (I wonder why?). When I put it in my mouth, it had a gusty sweetness. (This, this, this...) My first impression was completely "Sweet! I guess so. The gorgeous taste is, dare I say it, like melon🍈. (I can't think of the right word to describe it...). The one I bought this time seemed to have more alcohol than the previous one. Oh no! I can drink it easily. Even though I have to work tomorrow! This is one of my three favorite brands, lol. I will keep repeating ❗️ Next time, I hope I can find Junmai Daiginjo 🍶.

Freshly opened. Isn't it nice? 😆 It's sweet and has a flavor I like ✨. The aroma smells slightly like an apple farmer's warehouse, or workshop. It reminds me of my grandma's house from way back 🍎. Sweet. I think it is more like fruit sweetness than rice sweetness. It is very smooth and easy to drink. Anyway, it's sweet! I bought it because it was recommended by a liquor store. I asked for something sweet, and it was exactly what I wanted. Finally, I was able to buy a sake that I could like. It is delicious, but it doesn't really feel like sake.

Sake, it feels like. Crisp and dry. When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft, mellow flavor of ginjoshu. The aftertaste is strongly alcoholic. I had it with butterbur tempura, but it was bitter and spicy, so I thought, "Hmmm. I thought there was a better match for the accompaniment. Today, I drank a lot of things after a long time, so my tongue is a bit ... 😜 I drank a lot of things, and it was delicious.

Tangy and spicy Goes well with sashimi 🐟️. The taste is mild and mellow in the mouth. Sweet! I like it. Soft on the palate. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing. It does not linger, so I thought it would go well with food. I would like to enjoy it with sashimi.

It was recommended to me by a liquor store. The label is cute. It looks like a good omen. More refreshing than I expected. A little more sake! I would be happy if it has the feeling of "I'm a good person. I don't think I will repeat. ・・・・・・

Soft and sweet on the palate. It's my type ✨. It is easy to drink. I think the aroma of the rice stands out rather than the alcohol. When you take it out and put it in your mouth, the fruity sweetness fills your mouth. I felt that it was carefully polished. After that, the alcohol hit me with a bang. The aftertaste is a slight sweetness that lingers on the tongue. I think it's good and classy ☺️. From the top to the bottom of the barrel, you can see the best of the best. I would like to repeat it if I have a chance. I think it's good among the brands from Nagano prefecture.

Freshly opened bottle. Clear, crisp, and easy to drink. It's good. I can see why it's so popular. It doesn't have an aroma. When I put it in my mouth, it stimulates my tongue. ...Is it muddy? Dry? I don't know. Anyway, I can feel it on the tip of my tongue. The aftertaste is tangy and dry. It goes well with food. I guess its common name is "red label". Locals say that this is the more common label. It is very delicious. I think this one is more to my liking than the nama-shu Kameari. I bought it at the supermarket, and I'm glad I came across it. I'm going to let it sit for a few days. I'm looking forward to seeing how the taste changes.

Freshly opened bottle. Slightly fruity aroma. Slight carbonation on the palate. Then a sweet taste. There is no aftertaste. Refreshing and refreshing. I think it's easy to drink. "Very sharp"...? I can't drink it all in one day, so I'll leave it for a few days. I want to finish it as soon as possible because it is undiluted sake.

Freshly opened Very easy to drink from. The aroma is of a raw sake with a hint of mellow. Sweet taste. It is soft on the palate and can be drunk easily. As it slowly flows through the glass, it is a little thick. Lightly cloudy. It is best to shake the bottle lightly and enjoy. Kuroryu is my favorite brand✨. I would love to drink a variety of kokuryu😊.

I was looking for it because I heard that it is the most popular brand in Nagano Prefecture. Every store had a "waiting list" sign, indicating its popularity. This time, I visited the store at the beginning of the month, so I was lucky enough to get it. My impressions... It's just like Mitsuya Cider✨. A fine feeling of fizziness. It's very refreshing. Refreshing and refreshing😃✨. Sweet taste. No lingering aftertaste. In the mouth, the umami of sake spreads like a pretty flower opening. This is the true joy of sake.

Happy New Year to you all☺️! I'm not usually a fan of fresh sake, but I was fascinated by the binding and picked it up. I'm a New Year's girl 🐯 It's sweet. It's very sweet. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness is the first thing you feel. After that, it tingles. It's like raw sake. In the aftertaste, I personally feel that there is a unique moaning feeling of raw sake. It's a ministry of sake. There is no aroma. It's a little sticky as it slowly trickles down the glass. As I swirl the glass to let some air in, it becomes less like a raw sake and more like a ginjo sake. It's delicious. We were given a good omen. I want to invite in good fortune.

Freshly opened bottle. Rice, delicious. Very sweet fruit-like aroma. Peach? When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads fluently. You can feel the umami of Junmai Ginjo. There is a wrapping material around the bottle. It's a sake dedicated to a shrine. It is often seen in sake dedicated to shrines. I heard that the production of this sake has been declining due to the Corona disaster, and this is a campaign to support it. It looks like a good omen✨. I hope you will be able to find a lot of good sake this year.

The day after opening the bottle. The aroma is just starting to come out. Refreshing fruit aroma. The mouthfeel has become softer. It was less spicy than yesterday. And then... The taste of melon! Just like a melon! I feel like I'm drinking a Junmai Daiginjo. Yesterday, I needed to make an allowance, but today, I don't need it. You're the star! I liked it very much. I want to repeat it.

Freshly opened I learned from Sake no Wa that the taste changes if you let it sit for a while. From now on, I would like to buy sake and post twice if the taste changes. Neat The spiciness you feel on the tip of your tongue. Dry. The aftertaste has the sweetness of ginjo sake. No aroma. Seems to go well with fish dishes.

Two days after opening the bottle. The impression is that the taste has calmed down. The sweetness stands out and there is no spiciness. The tangy feeling that was present at the beginning is gone. The softness and sweetness of the ginjo-shu have been strengthened. In return, the aroma is gone. Personally, I prefer the taste of this one. But still. Here are my personal notes My head hurts😖💥. I'm getting drunk faster and faster. The same thing happened last time and this time as well. I don't often get headaches or nausea from sake. The alcohol content is 16%, so it's not that different from other kinds of sake. This is a good choice if you want to get drunk, but if you have to work the next day, you can only have a couple of glasses.

I bought this sake because I heard that it was made to compete with Jyushiyo. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. When I opened the package, I could smell the fluffy aroma of Ginjo sake. In the mouth, I got the impression that it was young. Then it became tangy. My first impression was that it was dry. The mouthfeel is thick and mellow. When I swirled the glass to let air in, it became quite sweet, which surprised me. I just opened it today, so I'd like to give it some time and taste it again. The ding on the package is cute, isn't it? What does it look like to you? It seems to change depending on how you feel that day. But... Nozawana and it goes so well together! It's a marriage. !!!! Congratulations! You must try it✨.
