[Addendum] 2025/02/15. It has been 3 weeks since the opening of the mouth. To be honest, my impression of the base is that I prefer "1 week after opening the mouth" the best. This year has had many cold days in the past few years and the sake was delicious. Additional note】2025/02/01 After leaving it for a week, it had changed to my highest preference. It was a style of drinking sitting directly on the table, not on a chair, but I kept on drinking and when I came to, I just turned it over and fell asleep. I'm glad I didn't spill my drink. This is a perfect repeat when I find it. ーーー... My first "Sake Mirai". The first sip gives the impression of "clean" and "watery" in one word. After a little time, it becomes creamy. Perfect with tofu in kombu broth 👌👌.

First time in 2 years, hanayo. The mouth opening is the top clear without shaking. The aroma is "the Hanayo Yoku". The taste is perfect, and it has a nice sharpness from the sweetness, which I love. The second saké was made after a slight downpour. The aroma is subdued, the sweetness is subdued, and the miscellaneous flavors are stronger. If I were greedy, I would still like to encounter the "Miyamanishiki" I drank long ago again. On the "Hana-yori is delicious."

I was at a restaurant with a friend who had been arranging dates for months. Since we found Jikin, this was our only choice. Thanks to that, the bill went up.... The main topic was, of course, each other's recent updates, but the drinks and food were delicious, and I think they added a nice touch to the party. It is hard to be extravagant in these times, but I remember my former teacher telling me, "After 40, you should make opportunities with your friends your top priority.

Recommended by the clerk. First Isshaku Suisei. First Sake Mirai. In a word, delicious. It is difficult to describe, but it is the kind of sake that you can't stop drinking. It is characterized by its deliciousness and sharpness. This sake is an example of that. The price was reasonable, but I drink less than before, so I will choose a good one while consulting with my wallet. This will be on my list for next time.

2024.5.4↓↓ A slight correction. I left it at room temperature and drank it for the first time in a week. I found it to be "calm" or "cohesive" and I really like it. I was taught once again how interesting and delicious sake can be. This is a dangerous one that I will keep drinking all the time. 2024.4.27↓↓↓ I may have raised the bar too high with the previous reviews.... It's not bad, but I think it's a disappointment. It has a strong banana taste from the first sip. It's okay, but I set the bar too high........

I had only heard of this brand by name. I found it at my usual store and bought it immediately. The taste was slightly effervescent with a hint of Yamadanishiki. It was a little expensive, but I think it was worth the price. This is the kind of sake that I would drink in large gulps. Today, the temperature dropped for the first time in a while and sake tasted good. It's a dangerous kind of sake that can be enjoyed even without a side dish. The aroma through the nose is also good. It's been a while since I've had a good sake. I can't stop drinking with a piece of "reduced-sodium" salted kelp in my hand. I've been tired for a while now, and I think I'll be free today.

It was recommended to me by the usual clerk at my usual store. In conclusion, Oct. Wait for the new sake in the second half of the month - first half of November. It is still too early in the season. This is a study in this. This sake is on the rocks. I usually don't drink sake on the rocks, but since the aroma is weak and sharp for Aizan, I decided to use the technique of chilling it and drinking it in quantity to get satisfaction from it. I can't wait for the cold season. I can't wait for the cold season, though it seems to be a mild winter this year. I can't wait for the season when sake tastes better.

(Reference/Remarks) I asked the manager for a recommendation today because the usual clerk at my usual liquor store was serving me and I could not make a decision. I told him that I liked the most recent "Nisato no Aizan", "Saku no Megumi no Ji", and "Huang Suisen", and asked for a recommendation for "Hi-ire", and this was it. My impression was honestly neither good nor bad. Not bad, but not impressive either. I think the entrée would be better suited to a stronger flavor.

I have been curious about "Yellow Narcissus" for a while. It was recommended by the usual clerk at my usual liquor store. Frankly speaking, I think it is a little too sweet. As I was told, it is the type of sake that goes down smoothly when chilled to a crisp. I would prefer it to be a little closer to room temperature but still have a sake feel to it, but this is it and I will enjoy it today. The second day after opening the bottle】2023/06/04 Being kept at room temperature during this season, it has naturally lost its swishiness, but it is good 😋. I think I rather like it on the second day.

I found it by chance at my favorite liquor store. I had been curious about it for a long time, but had never encountered it before. Today was fate, I thought, and put it in my shopping cart without hesitation. There was a clerk who always responded to me, so I asked her if it matched my tendencies, just to be sure, and she said with great conviction, "It's a perfect match. I'm sure of it," she said with great assurance. I bought it immediately. My personal impression is that it is outstanding, "just as the previous reviews on various websites said it would be. If there is a next time, I will buy it immediately. Ate Tokoroten Kimchi Yam Karaage natto (fermented soybeans) Tofu Somen Noodles Mushroom and bacon doria It all goes well together. I got a break at work yesterday, so I couldn't have asked for a better reward. *As indicated, [caution] is required when opening the bottle.

A recommendation from my favorite liquor store. I finally bought a bottle that had been on my list of potential purchases many times before. The aroma is sweet and delicious, The taste is contrary to the aroma. And the sharpness is outstanding! Serve with tako-wasabi and natto. While watching a shocking drama (Mother, episode 10, just before the final episode). I was so moved by the drama that I stopped drinking, or rather, I cried while drinking. To be honest, the opening was disappointing from what the waitress said, but I've had about 4 gos of sake in the first 3 hours. The waitress, no doubt. A reminder that.

It's been a long time since I've had a WINE CELL. I may have expected too much because of the great impression I had in the past. I found that people's tastes change over the years. By the way, it's not bad. It's just that the other day's Hana-yosu and Saku were too good. I went through a little less than 3 gou of sake while messing around. In other words, it is delicious.

First crop. This is delicious. The aroma is strong when you open your mouth. It is sweet, but it is very smooth and easy to drink. It goes down smoothly. It is just as the previous reputation said, and maybe it is because I wanted to drink it, but it is just too delicious. I drank one cup in the first 20 minutes. I'm sure I'll repeat this. It really is delicious!

With my college mentor over a hot drink. We used to see each other 2 or 3 times a year before the corona disaster, so it had been a really long time since we met again. I know it was inevitable because of the corona disaster, but I felt the passage of time. I wanted to cherish our encounters with people more. The most important thing was the hot sake with sushi. The best part was the gari and nori. The sushi was good, but I didn't expect the side dishes to go so well with the hot sake.

A break from the busyness of the beginning of the year is a hana-yosu, which I stocked up on at the end of the year. Several years ago, I first drank Miyamanishiki at a certain izakaya and enjoyed it so much that I have been searching for this brand ever since. Memorandum] My personal impression. I prefer Hachitan-Nishiki about an hour after opening the bottle rather than after opening the mouth. The aroma is stronger than other brands, which I really like, but it seems more subdued than Miyamanishiki. The acidity is strong and gradually starts to coalesce, and after an hour, it is full-bodied, and I found myself going through about 3 gou of the bottle. Life is full of many things, but I am grateful to be able to nourish my energy with something I love and that tastes so good. I look forward to a world where I can socialize with my friends without hesitation. I look at it as a time to deepen my life, even if it means a little patience for a while. Just as alcohol seeks time to mature.

I opened a bottle of my favorite Collage, which I bought last year but couldn't drink because I was sick. I thought it was not good, but it's not bad at all. I'm going to enjoy it little by little. I want to enjoy it slowly, little by little.

I have been sick and have not had it in about a year. I'm glad I was able to drink very well. Sake was one of the things I looked forward to so I'm glad😊.
