I was fortunate to be able to purchase it at a local liquor store.
It is very fruity.
I could feel the sourness like a fruit very much.
It's rather too sour for me to understand the other elements.
(This is just because I have a stupid tongue)
Anyway, it's delicious, but it's difficult to decide what to drink with it.
It was soooooo bananas... lol
When I uncorked it and poured it, the banana aroma was incredible!
If you put it in your mouth, you can taste the flavor, the soft sweetness, and the aroma of banana!
It seems to be a very special type of sake, but I personally liked it a lot!
It was served cold (room temperature).
To be honest, it's quite peculiar, but it's delicious.
It has been aged for more than two years, so it has a caramelized taste characteristic of aged sake.
When you drink it, you'll find a dark flavor that doesn't betray your expectations.
It was a bottle that was worth drinking.
It is a quintessential Baren, with a refreshing dry taste.
You can also taste the umami, and it's easy to drink, but it's very drinkable.
This delicious Daiginjo is priced at 1650 yen (including tax), which is seriously too good for the cost!
I usually drink sake from breweries I've never had before, but this one is special because it's one I wanted to drink last year but couldn't.
It's a rare sake brewed by Philip Harper of Tamagawa Sake Brewery, and is recommended to be drunk on the rocks!
Let's start with a cold sake!
It's an unblended sake, so it's very dark!
It has a concentrated flavor.
Next, on the rocks.
The alcoholic feeling has weakened and it is easier to drink.
But the flavor is still there, so I don't feel like it's gotten thinner.
The problem is that it is easy to drink, so if you don't consciously limit yourself, you might end up drinking too much.
It was good, but it was too sour for my taste...
It's the same with Kiheiji, but many of the sake that are highly regarded overseas have a strong sour taste, and I don't really like them (personal taste).
I bought it at Vinos Yamazaki in Yokohama station.
1500 yen for this brew is a little expensive in my sense.
However, the price was well worth it.
It has almost no aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the flavor spreads slowly.
I think this is an excellent sake that is great on its own or with food.
We were told to drink it cold or warmed, so I'd like to try it warmed next time.
It is a sake from Kagoshima prefecture which has a strong image of Shochu.
It has a sour taste and is refreshing.
We think it is not carbonated maybe, but it has a crackle feeling and it is close to the raw sake.
I think it would be good with meat or fried food.
It has the umami and acidity typical of Yamahai, but is also easy to drink, making it an excellent sake for sipping.
It is easy to drink and has the umami and acidity typical of Yamahai.
I'd like to drink it hot on a slightly cold day.
This special junmai-shu is brewed by Ichinokura, a sake brewery in Miyagi Prefecture.
The proceeds will be used to support the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
I'd love to support this kind of initiative.
I found the sake to have a good balance of spiciness, umami, and acidity.
It is a mild but tasty sake that can be paired with just about anything.
Maybe it's because of the recent "junmai supremacy", but you don't see many ginjo-shu that are not junmai.
Personally, I think it's good that both have different qualities, but...
A quiet story
This is a limited edition of Haneoya from Tomibikiku Shuzo.
It seems to have won an award in a certain competition, but I don't know much about it.
When you open the bottle, you can smell a pleasant ginjo aroma.
When I put it in my mouth, it has sourness and sweetness, then umami, and finally a little bitterness to tighten up the whole.
I thought it would be dry because of the use of brewing alcohol, but it's not at all!
I thought it was a well-balanced sake that had the freshness of nama-shu without being sharp.
Good morning, Umimoriu 🙇
I agree. Alsoe Ginjo is getting really few and far between😅.
In Akita, the only ones lined up in the liquor stores are Jun Gin.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
Hello, T.KISO!
There are many breweries that say "Junmai is the true sake! There are many sake breweries that say
I can't say it's wrong in general, but...
Is it the ego of the drinker to drink anything as long as it tastes good? lol
Rich and sweet taste
After the gentle sweetness and the sourness peculiar to a traditional sake brewing, the sourness disappears quickly.
Both the sweetness and acidity are strong, but not too strong, so it is a sweet sake that can be used during meals.
I thought it would go well with soy sauce, mirin, and other heavily seasoned Japanese foods.
(It's hard to take a picture of this label because the focus is not right)
It's a gifted sake.
The label is so cute!
We were told that cold sake is recommended, so we had it cold.
It's a medium-flavored, umami-flavored sake.
The gentle umami and acidity was just right for a midday drink!
I've had Izumihashi Sake Brewery's sake before, but it's still very easy to drink with no peculiarities.
It is a ginjo sake, so it has a good aroma, a good flavor, and a sharpness that is delicious.
My father bought this for me as a souvenir from his business trip.
He said it was one of only 6230 bottles made.
It was delicious with a good balance of acidity and flavor.
I bought it and started drinking it a long time ago, but this is a new review now, lol.
As the name suggests, it was very good when heated up.
But it was good cold sake, too.
It's very mellow, just like the sake from Kanazawa.
〜No.4 unfiltered 2020 brewing
I bought it at Yokohama Takashimaya's Meishu Hyakusen.
I saw the name of this sake on SAKETIMES a while ago and was curious about it, so I was lucky to be able to buy it.
It was just as the brewery employee who explained it to me at the store said it would be, very tasty and refreshing, like eating a whole mandarin orange.
It wasn't too sweet or too sour, so it was very easy to drink.
It was not too sweet but not too sour, and I liked how easy it was to drink.
It was hard to decide which one to buy, the Manotsuru from the same brewery, but I was right to buy this one. (I wanted to try the Manotsuru, too.)
