I've always wanted to try Chiyoroku ✨. I was able to get it at the right time ✨ Olli dancing when opening the bottle is a promise 😛. It's a fresh and crisp drink with almost no alcohol...in fact, it's 15 degrees, so it's dangerous! The gentle sweet flavor and mild acidity really makes you want to gulp it down lol! I envy the people of Akita who have such delicious sake close by ✨!

I've had it in the cellar for a little while now 💁. Slightly floral aroma of Akita Sake Komachi✨ The umami and sweetness is pushing in with a sizzle 💁❤️ Fresh with a little bit of gas ✨. Akita Sake Komachi, love it💕!

We chose this one for today's New Year's Eve ✨. We were thankful for a bountiful harvest and prayed for the health and prosperity of our family and friends✨. It has a mild aroma, a light sweet flavor, a faint orikara, and a slightly long finish. The sweetness may increase after a few days, but since I brought it to a sake-tasting gathering, it was gone in no time lol! It was my first time to drink this sake, but it was delicious!

Junmai Funakuchi, following Doburoku and Arabashiri ✨. Carefully opened the bottle! A few seconds...? After a few seconds of silence, the Ori dance began ✨ It's a swish, swish, swish ✨. Pear and melon aroma and aftertaste ✨ Not too much alcohol. Umami...! This time it was junmai, but next month they will continue with junmai ginjo arabashiri, funakuchi, and so on✨ The brewery is closed on Sundays, so I'll stop by again on a weekday when I have more time.

I love Drunken Whale, but this is my first time to try Ginrei. Ginpu is milled to 50% and has daiginjo level specs, high cost performance ✨. It's fire-aged, so it can be stored at room temperature, which is great this time of year. ☺️ The aroma is mild and the sweetness is moderate, but the refreshing acidity, umami, and richness will accompany the flavors of a variety of dishes, from Japanese to Western 🎵. When you're tired of the sweet and fruity taste of new sake, this slightly classic sake will refresh you ✨. Sake is delicious 😋 and I reaffirm it! Sake from Kochi in general has a refreshing taste that goes down your throat and has a clean, crisp taste...that's the image I have ✨ Went well with baby scallop tempura ^ ^ ^

My latest boom Banshu Ikkyo✨ I was also able to get my hands on some Shippo lees tangle raw ✨. I learned that the Shippo series started when it was revived after a fire a few years ago. So there's a reason for that appreciation on the label... ✨ I hope to visit Sanyo Hai Brewery again to hear more stories... ✨ Thank you for brewing such delicious sake... ✨ There is a warning on the bottle, but the gassiness is mild ✨. Sharp bodied, slightly sweet and most importantly the aroma is wonderful 😀. Melon melon🍈! Clear and refreshing melon cream soda ❤️ It's a ✨ Shin Gin Milling that scrapes the rice clean, Stress-free Zero Gravity System and the No. 1 sake brewery in the neighboring prefectures can't take their eyes off of you 👀!

Senkou's snowman, we got it again this year✨. I opened it the day I got it. After about 10 seconds of opening the bottle, the automatic stirring started... and it never overflowed, but it looked fine 😁. Silky mouthfeel and well balanced ✨ No sweetness, no sharpness, no umami. It's so good ✨ ❣️ The acidity was milder than last year. As expected 👍Senkou is looking great this season too 😀. Postscript 2 weeks after drinking a third of the bottle, the gasiness is the same and it's even mellower ✨. Yummmm 👍

November 1st freshly made doburoku✨Was I relieved to see a cork with a hole in it? I spewed it out and wasted a little bit.... It's like a thick, thick drinkable yogurt, yet it has a shwashy feel on the tongue^ ^ ^. Great gassy feeling✨ Sweetness, umami, and acidity are also strong, but the aftertaste is clean... Alcohol is slightly low at 14 degrees... ✨ What a strange and delicious sake! Doburoku...yes...it's possible... 1,400 ✨Tax included

Dear Akaban Sake Brewery Freshly brewed new sake arabashiri✨ Quite gassy ❣️ Sweetness and gentle aftertaste. Yummma👍! The price of 1,400 yen for a 4-pack (tax included) is too expensive! According to the brewery, the rice is in stock and the brewing process is going well ✨. I'll stop by again to enjoy it!

It's been a while since I've had a Gozenshu I used to drink a brand called Sumiya Yahei a lot (20 years ago) ✨ This Mimasaka has a mild umami and I think it might be the No. 7 yeast ✨. Light-bodied, with a gentle sweetness, but also clean and crisp... a classic with a modern edge... a beautiful sake that I never get tired of drinking ✨.

This season's draft sake is the start of Sengoku Modern Zero ✨. Lightly sweet and sour, with a light flavor ✨. Light bodied, but can be enjoyed in a variety of Japanese and Western styles ✨. Personally, I like Kame-no-o Classic by Sentori, so I can't wait for the Nama-shu, Hi-ire, Oirigarami, and Foam ✨😛.

Jay & Nobby ^^^ Hello 😃Thank you ✨ It may be a difficult year for sake breweries to procure rice, but we hope to support the industry as a whole by consuming as much sake as possible that we don't even know about yet... 😛. Sengkou will have a parade of limited edition sake from now on, so I hope to enjoy it a lot ✨😊.

Another one from the Sanyo Haii Sake Brewery. This one, which can only be purchased at the direct sales outlet, is a very luxurious sake with Yamadanishiki as the malted rice and Aizan as the premium rice. The malted rice is Yamadanishiki, and the premium rice is Aizan. I tried to compare it with Junmai Cho-Sara ✨. The aroma is lychee. The sweetness comes first, but then the umami and slight bitterness give it a nice fullness 🎵. Am I the only one who feels it's spicier than the super-hot one...? LOL! I recommend you to buy the slightly fuller specialedition at the local store ✨.

I got a bottle of super spicy one I've been wanting to try at a beautiful direct sales place ✨. Opened the bottle at 5°C and heard a slight pshhhh sound✨Mild aroma, light mouthfeel, gentle sweetness, apple-like acidity spreads, and when you think the umami has arrived, it finishes cleanly and smoothly. I felt a slight gas in the aftertaste ✨. The sake level is +10, but it's so refreshing, well-balanced, and easy to drink. Delicious 😋.

No hassles, no hassles, no hassles, no hassles, no hassles, no hassles, no hassles. This time it's straight from Aizan. We stocked it when it was still hot. Sweet and juicy with a touch of gas ✨ The sweetness of Aizan is well balanced without being too sweet ^ ^. It is very satisfying even if you drink it by itself. ❣️
