At Ueno Station
Uploaded because it was so delicious!
It is described as a junmai ginjo-shu with a mild aroma like fresh and refreshing ramune and a fresh, ricey flavor!
It certainly tastes like ramune!
★★★
The aroma is there, and it's sweet.
I thought it was sweet,
I thought it was sweet...but the label said...slightly dry!
I'm not sure about the concept of dry and my palate lol
Whatever the case may be,
The price was reasonable and it was delicious 🍶.
★★★☆☆
¥1650
I dare to call it a rice wine rather than a sake.
Sourness and mild malted rice aroma.
Not too sweet and moderately dry.
The price is reasonable, and I would like to buy it again when I visit Niigata!
Honmaru Jyushidai Hiden Tamagase
★★★☆☆☆
It is a gift!
I've been wanting to try this Jyushiyo!
Since brewing alcohol is also listed as an ingredient, I think it's an easily accessible grade of sake for the common people (*).
And yet ...... it was too delicious!
It has a nice aroma and a little sweetness? I wonder if it's a little sweet?
If it's this good...I wonder how good the ginjo and daiginjo are......!
I renewed my determination to definitely drink it someday!
* Postscript.
When I looked it up on the internet...it was quite expensive too...!
It was not a commoner's sake at all. ............

Gift Sake
Yamabuki (Tangerine) 2024 Nama Hashiroshi Wooden Oke Junmai
Maybe because it's a wooden vat, it smells like wood.
Sourness and sweetness, it is a strange sake like a white wine.
I'm glad to get a different kind of sake!
Thanks!

Purchased at Ponshu-kan, Echigo Yuzawa Station
When I tasted it, I thought it was dry and refreshing, but when I drank it at home, it was thicker than I expected and I could taste the koji flavor.
Anyway, it gives the impression of being very thick.
Is it because it has 17% alcohol by volume?
Personally, I'm not good at strong flavors of koji, so I gave it less stars..!
★★★★☆
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?
