★★★★☆
Koshitanrei 50% polished rice
The one I kept because I didn't want to waste it.
(Or, the one that I forgot because I kept it too long...)
Even though it had been a long time since I bought it
It smells very nice and fruity...!
The mouthfeel is sweet, but the aftertaste is dry?
I like it very much!
I will definitely buy it again when I go to Niigata.
★★★★
The label says it is an aged wine and the color is very yellow, like a sweet white wine.
I was told that it goes well with hot sake, so I immediately had it hot!
It has a great umami flavor and is sweet. It also has a lot of acidity, making it seem like it's not sake!
It's like a lighter Shaoxing sake.
I tried it cold, but it was delicious cold as well!
I think I prefer it cold!
★★★ ¥1595
This one... doesn't have a name...?
Simple bottle with a simple label.
It looks like it's freshly pumped and filled.
This kind of appearance makes me want to buy it!
(By the way, the receipt clearly states "Gold Label Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu (Nakakumi)")
(By the way, the receipt clearly stated "Gold Label Junmai Ginjyo Namaizu (Nakakumi)"!
While it was still a little fresh...! So, I drank it right after I bought it!
Fresh aroma and a little bit of gas.
And it's dry and light.
It doesn't interfere with your meal.
I tasted it at a store in Sendai Station.
The name is "Axe Koto Kiku", which means "Yokikoto Kiku" in Japanese.
The origin of the name is related to Kabuki? Or something...
Fragrant and sweet?
It was quite delicious!
★★★★
2024 brewing year.
I guess it's dry, but sake is good no matter what you drink!
It's a new sake...I wonder if it would have been more fruity if I drank it right after I bought it?
I'll drink it right away next year!
Popular 1 Heated Sake Special
★★★☆☆☆
I was looking for a good sake to be heated up and found this one!
I heard it won the highest gold medal in the "National Heated Sake Contest 2024".
I was a little nervous because I didn't know what it tasted like, but I was surprised at how delicious it was!
It smells great, tastes great even without heating it up, and it's reasonably priced, so I couldn't help but buy another bottle!
It's great to drink on a daily basis!
★★★☆
It's sparkling!
The way to open the bottle is the same as sparkling wine, pop the cork! I popped the cork!
The taste is dry and you can feel the flavor of koji.
I'm not a fan of sake that has a full flavor of koji.
but by making it sparkling, it's easier to drink.
It was delicious 🍶.
★★★★☆
A happy name and perfect for the New Year🍶?
I had a very good bottle of Gokeijo at an izakaya before, so I bought this small bottle with a cute label to try it out.
I bought a small bottle with a cute label to try it out!
Slightly sweet and fruity!
Delicious!
However, even looking at the label, I'm not sure which sake from Gokeijo is packed in this bottle...
I wonder if it is a specially made sake. I couldn't find it on the brewery's website.
All it says is "Sake".
Isn't that too rough?
It seems to be made from 100% Hitachi-Nishiki.
Next time, I'll buy a proper bottle of Gokeijo using Hitachi-nishiki!
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE II
Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Unblended Sake Kitakata Yume no Kaori
★★★★
I like this series a lot!
Fruity and slightly tangy, just the way I like it 🍶.
Episode 2 means...
Sequel? Is it correct to say that there will be a sequel?
Himenoi calm 2024
Glutinous rice four-stage brewing
Lactic acid bacteria yeast
1760 yen
★★★☆☆☆
Calm?
Himenoi Calm?
I don't know what the heck it is... but I'm not sure how much of it is the name.
But it's pretty tasty.
Maybe it's the lactobacillus yeast, but it's very refreshing and sweet, with a slight sourness that makes it easy to drink.
The bottle design is perfect for the relaxed atmosphere of this sake.
I would like to buy it again when I have a chance!

Tasted it at Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa station.
It was delicious, so I bought it!
The package was cute too!
When I drank it at home, I thought, "What's different? What's different?
It has a sour taste and a traditional sake flavor? It has a sour taste, but you can feel the flavor of old-fashioned sake. It's hard to describe, but it tastes like the sake my father used to drink.
I think I prefer something more fruity.
★★★★
My favorite crop!
I think it's really great that it definitely tastes good no matter which one you drink!
This one also has a nice aroma and is rich and dry? (This is just my impression of the taste.
(This is just my impression of the taste.)
★★★★☆
When I opened it, I was like, "Pssh! When I opened it, it was like "Psshhh!
Nice aroma as soon as you put your mouth to the glass!
Slightly gassy in the mouth.
I thought it was dry when I drank it.
It's very nice and refreshing!
I would like to buy it again if I can find it.
★★★★
I asked someone who went on a trip to Toyama what sake they enjoyed and they said Tateyama was delicious... so I ordered some.
I ordered some ✨
A little aromatic. Easy to drink!
★★★★
I heard about this sake from a colleague who has relatives in Toyama, and the one that caught my attention the most was Toyama Blend!
As the name suggests, it is a blend of Toyama sake!
Isn't it wicked to mix them together?
But I was too curious to order it 🍶.
The 16 products are listed by name, so...
Not sixteen teas, but sixteen sakes!
When I tried it, it tasted just fine!
According to my colleague, the taste is different every year!
Interesting!
By the way, the 2023 blend I drank smelled like dust?
Is it the pu-erh of the sake world?
