First of all, I did not know about the lavender-colored label of Sairai's raw sake.
My impression of the freshness of the sake is that it is very fresh. It is fruity, fresh, and refreshing.
The freshness and the sweetness typical of Kangiku with a clean and crisp taste are excellent.
It is slightly carbonated, cloudy, and light at 13% alcohol!
Congratulations on winning the SAKE KONPETITION 2025 GOLD award.
The aroma in the mouth is like a fresh melon that has not yet ripened and is gorgeous.
It has a fresh, sweet flavor with a persistent aftertaste, so you can easily drink it!
We were able to come across a new Hououmida sake.
The aroma is fruity like white grapes, and it has a tremendous freshness.
The sweetness seems to have increased on the second day, rather than immediately after opening the bottle, but the slight bitterness in the aftertaste keeps me from getting tired of drinking it. It is great for sipping while enjoying a small snack.
Congratulations on winning the SAKE COMPETION 2025 Bronze Award.
I thought it had a classic taste that I didn't like right after opening the bottle, but after 3 days, the taste changed and it became sweeter and more umami, which I really like. The aroma is fruity with rice.
This is the first time I've had this since the name was changed to Yuki no Mayu, and it's still as delicious as ever!
The fruity aroma immediately after opening the bottle, and the piquant, slightly carbonated taste are very pleasant.
The taste is like a rice wine.
I had heard about the Mixseed series, a concept and challenge by the young brewers of Mutsu Hachisen, but this is the first time I have had it.
The proprietress of a sake store in Towada City recommended it to me, and that is how I came to buy it. It is very light at 7% alcohol, and as the concept suggests, it is fruity with a pleasant acidity and a crisp finish.
It is delicious.
I'm very grateful to the sake store in Towada City for keeping the November 2024 draft sake in cold storage. It seems that this year's freshly pressed sake will be available soon, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to buy it, so I bought it on impulse. It has been a while since I have had freshly pressed sake, but it is as delicious as ever! The freshness and the aftertaste of the rice flavor that comes after the rush of the rice flavor make this a sake that you have to buy if you see it.
Congratulations on your 300 check-ins, Hinde 🎉🎉🎉!
Freshly squeezed at this time of the year is very precious. ❣️ It's also great that it's as fresh as ever 😳‼️
Thank you for your comment, Pon-chan, I would not have noticed the 300 check-in without your comment.
Toyobai's freshly pressed 2025 will be on sale soon, and I would be happy if I could buy it.
Congratulations to pitcher Tanaka on his 200th win in Japan and the United States. Takachiyo is the best sake to drink on this special day. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of pineapple.
It has a sweet taste with a strong rice flavor, so it is not very refreshing, but it is perfect for drinking over a long period of time. I like Takachiyo and Takachiyo series no matter what I drink.
It's been a long time since I've tasted Eiko Fuji, and it's delicious!
The fruity pineapple-like aroma and the sweet, yet refreshing taste are irresistible. I don't know if it's my imagination, but I also like the change in flavor after the bottle is opened, when the sweetness starts to take over.
The aroma is fruity, and the sweetness and umami of the rice is brewed while the crispness and sharpness go down your throat.
I felt that I was drinking sake of a higher level. It is delicious.
It doesn't have much aroma, but you can taste the sweetness and umami of the rice more than enough while still being modern.
It has been several years since I last tasted it, but I felt that its level has improved considerably.
This is Akizubo 657, the standard of Kaze no Mori. The aroma is like a young melon before it is fully ripe.
Immediately after opening the bottle, a slight carbonation and sweetness come rushing in. After that, it is well-balanced and delicious, thanks to the persistent acidity that keeps it in check.
I was able to have a cold wholesale Hououomida again this year. I like the deep flavor, which is slightly different from my image of Hououmida's gorgeous atmosphere. My favorite flavor this year is to drink it on the rocks while the ice is slowly melting, rather than drinking it cold as usual.
I recommend purchasing it in 1.5 liter bottles.
Good evening, Mr. Hinde.
Toyo Bijin-san, last year I often had Mellow Road Isshu and I loved it 🎵.
I have not had this one yet, so when I read your review, I would love to have it if I ever come across it 😋.
This is the first time I have had Hagi no Tsuru.
The aroma is gorgeous, like grapefruit. The taste is sweet with a big kick.
I thought it might be good to drink it on the rocks in the hot summer. We immediately tried it on the rocks, and it was great!
The sweetness was softened and it went down smoothly and quickly. It was delicious!
