Eiko Fuji's Snake Eye🐍. Unusually(?) for Eikoufuji, it is a dry sake with a sake strength of +9. It is a dry sake with a sake strength of +9! It has a fresh aroma of white grapes and green apples, probably due to the wine yeast. It is just like a wine and looks delicious 🍷. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the clear acidity and dry sharpness, and the sweetness is moderate with astringency and bitterness following after. 🏃‍♂️ It is dry but mellow, so I think even people who don't like dry wine can enjoy it 😌.

Fukkai-san, who is often recommended but has never had a drink. The aroma is subtly fruity with a hint of muscat 🍇. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the beautiful acidity spreading quickly, accentuated by the tangy, slightly bubbly taste 😋. The sweetness and umami take center stage, with no bitterness or astringency, and a sharp, clean finish. It was the kind of sake I should have had earlier! We also ordered Nabe-sama's Shizuku Shibori, which was as delicious as ever!

When I bought Harmonic Emotion Houraisen Gin is a luxury 😱.... Sora is aged for 1 year and Gin is aged for 3 years before being sold. I've never had many old sake so I'm looking forward to it 😋. The aroma is subdued. Silky and mellow on the palate The classic flavor from the rice is strong and finishes with a touch of astringency. The taste is massive and very drinkable 🍶. If you like classic flavors, you'll drink this sake with ease ✨.

Good evening, Mr. Afio! This sake also looks delicious😍I rarely see Houraizumi. I can understand the difference between Sora and Gin, and I would like to try this sake someday.

Good evening, ichiro18 😆. This was actually my first Houraisen too, but since my first was a Gin, I feel like I skipped a grade 😇. It tastes more like a classic so if you like it, I think it's a really good sake 😋.

Nanada Aiyama no Kata no Hiyoroshi Compared to Omachi, it has a soft aroma of Japanese fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, and loquats. The first sip is characterized by a soft, sweet and fleshy mouthfeel, rounder and mellower than OMACHI, with a mild acidity. It was the kind of sake that stands out more when drunk on its own. Omachi is a food sake, while Aizan is a sake to be savored slowly by itself. I think Aizan is the type of sake to be savored slowly on its own 🤔.

Hiyoroshi, the one from Oumachi by Shichida-san. I am an idiot who read "Shichiden" until a while ago 🥺. It has a sweet aroma of ripe bananas with a little crisp nuance and no peculiar smell. The first sip is characterized by the deep umami of rice and firm acidity, giving the impression of a medium to slightly dry taste 😋. It is rich but has a crisp aftertaste, and I was drinking it while thinking that it would definitely go well with the autumn taste of Akinatai fish 🐟.

Good morning, Afio 😃. Shichiden 🤣. There's a common misreading by sake lovers 😆. I used to read omachi as "yucho" myself😇

Good morning, Hiro 😌. There are some brands and sake rice that you misread if you don't look them up 🤣. I guess everyone has to go through it 😆. I couldn't even read OMACHI at first so I muddled it up😇.

Eikoufuji's Expensive and Delightful The king of sake rice, Yamada-Nishiki, is polished to 35%, and the passion and skill of the brewers come together to create this supreme daiginjo! Just from this description alone, you can already taste the deliciousness. I knew I had to try it, so I ordered it! The aroma of melon and fruits is gorgeous, and the mouthfeel is silky, delicate and smooth. The sweetness is natural and mellow, but the finish is balanced and crisp. Too good to be true, Sanctuary😋. It's a great sake that can be enjoyed on its own, or as a complement to a meal 🍶. I bought it because it was so good! I'm looking forward to drinking it (:3_ヽヽ)_

Mr. W. The gorgeous ginjo aroma spreads, and I can detect light fruity aromas like apples and melons 😋. Smooth on the palate, with the soft flavor of rice spreading in the mouth. The sake level was -2 to 3, but it was not as sweet as it said, and the acidity was also effective, making it easy to drink. ☺️ I paired it with jaga mentaiko (cod roe), but I got the impression that it is a delicious sake no matter what it is paired with 😌.

Mr. Sparkling Tasake Sparkling Tasake I found while looking at the fridge behind my seat and having a drink! They weren't supposed to open it yet, but the master kindly agreed to open it for us 😭🙏. Thank you for that time 🙇‍♂️💦 Tasake always poured in a wine glass, not a tokkuri! It's so tangy and delicious 😋😋. I had it with fried oyster tartar, and the fresh citrusy aroma and the shwashiness flowed in harmony with the oily fried oysters! It goes great with fried food 🥳.

Hi, Afuio 😃 I think you used MicroBubble's strong carbonation and white yeast rice, so the citrusy taste will refresh and refresh the oiliness of fried food! It's a drink I'd like to have again too 😃.

Hi ichiro18 😌. That's why it was so light and moderately acidic 😋. It was just the best pairing ✨. This is a definite repeat! I hope to welcome you next year: ☺️

Jikin Asahi Hi-iri It's still the same delicious sake... The mild fruity aroma gives it a mellow mouthfeel, and the deep umami of the rice is delicious. It's very drinkable, but you won't get tired of drinking it! If it is this good, I regret a little that I should have participated in the lottery 😭. But I'm aiming for another one so I'll have to be patient a little longer 😌.

Good evening, Afio! I've only had Jikin-sama's Asahi once, so I'd like to drink it slowly 😋. I didn't win the lottery 💦. I'm looking forward to seeing which Jikin you're aiming for 🤗 Yakitori and sake sounds great 🤤.

Good evening, ma-ki-san 😌. All of the Jikin-sama are delicious, but Asahi is also very tasty 😋. It's not easy to win the very popular Jikin-sama, isn't it? 😭I might miss the one I'm aiming for too 😭. Great pairing 🥳.

It's been a while since I've had a drink at home! Recently, I have been accumulating too much sake and my wife has set a monthly limit on the number of sake I can purchase, so I have been drinking out more 🥹. So I'm going to be more flexible than before 😇 I'll end this preamble with the last of Kangiku's summer sake, Adapt! A delicious looking sake brewed with fusakogane! As usual, the cork almost blows off and hits you in the face when you open it! The aroma is fruity and the mouthfeel is smooth, with a slight carbonation and sweetness that spreads from the carbonation and blends with the juicy flavor. The alcohol content is low at 14 degrees, so you will never get tired of drinking this delicious sake!

The last one is hiyaoroshi by Mizubasho. I could feel the delicious taste of the rice in the thick mouthfeel. ☺️ I don't think there was much acidity, and the finish was mellow 😌. I think it's not good to drink too much because they have all kinds of good sake 🥹. I'll be careful next time😇

When I asked for a recommendation, Nanaken's hiyaoroshi came up! It was a change from the autumn sake we had just had, with a light and refreshing taste, more like the umami of rice than sweetness and flavor! It tasted more like rice flavor 😋✨. However, I was already on the verge of drunkenness, so I could not give a detailed review, but I was drinking it while saying it was delicious. ☺️

I can only say that it smells good when I'm drunk too much 😭. I remember that it has a mild and gentle sweetness on the palate 😋. The alcohol is light at 13%, and the acidity that comes afterwards is beautiful and easy to drink. ☺️

First time for Nagatoro-san Nagatoro-san was recently at Starbucks ☕️ in Kawagoe for a tasting and sales event so that we could have it in our store! The aroma is fruity, with pineapple and tropical flavors wafting through the air 🤤. The taste is gorgeous and fruity, with a juicy fresh fruitiness that is delicious! The finish is clean and refreshing without being heavy ✨. I would buy this sake when I have an empty fridge 🍶.

Good evening, ichiro18: ☺️ I too had heard that Chichibu sake is more classic, so I was prepared for it, but it was a modern, fruity, and modern sake 😋. You should definitely try Nagatoro 🥳✨.

I got my favorite orange sea by Kangiku 😋. Sorry for not being able to pick it up since my fridge is full 😭. Since we're here, let's take a sip! It has a fruity aroma with a hint of fruitiness, and the deep flavor that comes from a summer's sleep is irresistible 🥰. The taste is slightly sweet, with a mellow rice flavor like ripe fruit & juicy deliciousness✨. The mild acidity and piquancy are also in perfect balance 🥳. I knew Kangiku-san was good! As a former resident of Chiba, I'm happy to hear that: ☺️

There was a sparkler and a back-up sparkler drinking comparison, so we were very excited to try them! I was so excited that I had to try them! The sparkler has a lemon squash and citrus aroma, with a sweetness and sourness like that of a capsicum, and a crisp and refreshing impression. The back, Senkohana, is much less acidic and has a smooth sweetness that makes it a great drink. ☺️ As a lover of sweet and juicy, I preferred Ura-Senkohana!

Hi, ma-ki, ☺️ I was thrilled to be able to compare the two, as neither of them seemed to fit in my sake cellar, and I had abandoned the idea of buying them 🥳. I was so excited to be able to compare them! If I had bought each one, I wouldn't have been able to drink them at the same time 😭.

AKABU, which I haven't had much to drink for some reason. We decided to have a Junmai Daiginjo from the UA collaboration 🍶. The ginjo aroma is juicy and reminds me of sweetness 😋. The taste is soft and clear with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity to make it easy to drink. I could also taste the umami of the rice and it was quite my favorite umami sake! I think I might like AKABU 🥳✨

At any rate, I bought it in the spirit of buying 寫楽 when I see it: ☺️ Fruity aroma reminiscent of bananas and melons! The taste is like white peaches with a hint of rice flavor 🍶. It's crisp and sharp when chilled, but as it gets closer to room temperature As it gets closer to room temperature, the rice flavor expands and the mouthfeel becomes mellower 😋. Well-balanced as a food sake, as you would expect from 寫楽さん✨.

This time, I drank a combination of yonotori & yonotori that I ate with gusto 🍶. We ordered the Yonotori first. I was told that vanilla ice cream and sweet potato with nuts would also go well together, so I ordered more 😋. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to eat yonotori, so I waited for it to come out! It looks like yogurt or porridge, or doburoku (a kind of concentrated drink) 😆. First, take a sip! It has a strong sour taste, but the sweetness of the rice comes out later! The taste is also strong, and the sweet sweet potato salad goes really well with it 🥳. I had some vanilla to refresh my palate, and then I decided to try the Yonotori and the Eating Yonotori together! Mmmm, the flavor of the yonotori was so strong that the flavor of the drink was lost 🥺. The waitress also seemed to have tried it and smiled and said, "It loses its taste, doesn't it lol"! You knew that 😭 But it's not every day you get a chance to pair such a precious sake, so it was a great experience ✨.

I had bought it before but was too lazy to drink it, so I decided to have it because I could drink it standing up! It is a very polished sake with a rice polishing ratio of 35%, the same as Ohmine's flagship 2-grain hi-iru Yamadanishiki 😌. The aroma is sweet with a hint of muscat, just like Ohmine! Like a much richer aroma than 3 grains 🤔. Now it's time to take a sip Oh! Eye-opening concentrated sweetness, a little sourness, and a clear aftertaste with no clutter! It's so good 🥳! Personally, this is the most well-balanced, yet rich sweetness I've ever tasted! It's impeccably delicious 🥰! I think this might be my favorite! I'm glad I splurged and bought it 😆.
