We received a large amount of bonito tataki from Kochi as part of our hometown tax payment, so we bought this sake from the same Kochi area ✨. I wasn't sure whether to choose CEL24 or Nigori, but the word "nigori" attracted me to this one ✨. The top aroma is melon and pear. The overt aroma is like tropical fruits such as pineapple. The sweetness and umami are strong, the acidity is medium, and there is almost no gasiness. The taste is short and lingering, with a slight to medium bitterness at the end 🍶. It was a good match for the shrimp mayo I made for dinner, but not for the bonito tataki, which is the key 😅. However, the quality of the sake as a standalone is high, and it was a clear and beautiful fruity sake that can be used as both an aperitif and a mid-dinner drink, thanks for the meal 😊.

At the usual BAR (3) I had half given up on this one because it wasn't available at the nearby distributor of Kangiku. So we finally ordered this one✨. The top aroma is of apples and pears. The nose has the same apple aroma, and the gasiness in the mouth is pleasant and beautiful ✨. The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is also very good, and the bitterness at the end is also a nice accent 😊. The gasiness and umami are in particular well balanced, and while it is clean and refreshing, it is also voluminous, making it a highly complete and delicious cup 😋.

Good evening, Chirsta 😀. I hope you are having a good time at the bar as usual 😆. I'm not sure how I'll be able to find this sake from Kangiku, I've missed the future timing 🤣 It still looks balanced and delicious 🤣.

At the usual BAR (2) This is the one that caught my eye for summer sake ✨ The summer sake was so good that I had high expectations from the start 😊. There is almost no heady aroma. However, the aroma is clean and beautiful with a hint of muscat and pear, which is unique to Omine, and the slightly stronger gassiness is very pleasant and lively. ☺️ The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is just right, and my overall impression is that it was a sweet and delicious saké perfect for this summer, as if drinking a Ramune.

At the usual BAR (1) I've always been curious about St. ✨. The top nose smells like apples and muscats. At first, I thought it was a beautiful, clean, sweet fruity wine. But later on it has a punchy umami and spiciness, and a slightly strong bitterness that quickly finishes you off 😊. I thought it was for a food sake to be paired with some food because it is a little harsh on its own because it is a little dry. ☺️

At the usual BAR (8) Due to the system at Sake-no-wa, I can only post one brewery per post, so I'm posting this as Hakurakusei, but it's a blend of Hakurakusei's yogurt sake and Umenoyado's Aragoshimikan ✨. The master recommended this drink to me a long time ago and I finally put it into practice: ☺️ The rich taste of the yogurt and the refreshing taste of the mikan blended together so well that I would recommend this drink to anyone who doesn't like alcohol 😋. By the way, I visited this bar for the first time exactly one year ago yesterday and fell in love with the personality of the master and started coming here 😃. I'll be coming back regularly from now on 🙏.

Hi ichiro18 😃 Thanks again for your comment ✨ I knew about Hakurakusei's yogurt sake because I've had it before, but this combination is very convincing: ☺️ Hououmida's 🍊 might be an option too 👀.

Hi Hiro 😃 Hakurakusei yoghurt wine by itself is of course delicious, but the tartness of the mandarin oranges blends nicely with it 😊. I think it's totally possible even if it's not a liqueur, it's good 🍊

At the usual BAR (7) The master was opening a bottle of Jikkom in front of me, so I was able to have a freshly opened bottle 😊. The top aroma was slightly pineapple-like 🍍. The aroma was fruity like pineapple tropical fruit, and the sweetness and umami gradually came in, and then the gasiness and acidity added to it, and I was already in a happy state. ☺️ I knew it was good before I drank it, but when I tried it, it was so much better than I imagined it would be, no wonder it's so popular that the average person can't afford it ✨. I would love to drink Jikin at home someday 😋.

At the usual BAR (6) Hard to find orange label ✨ We compared the taste while remembering the taste of Akaban Oumachi that we drank just recently 😊. There was almost no top notes, and the aroma was slightly fruity. It has a pleasant, bright gasiness that is typical of a nama sake, a slightly medium sweetness, a strong but not overly assertive umami, and no bitterness. Nabeshima is delicious no matter what you drink, and it's no wonder this orange label is so popular 😊. Personally, I prefer the Akaban Oumachi from before 😋.

Good evening, ichiro18! I was impressed by how fruity sake can be when brewed in the Nabeshima style with Gohyakumangoku: ☺️ Nabeshima, especially the orange label, is very popular, so I hope you can find it in the future 🙏.

At the usual BAR (5) The customer next to me was drinking it and it looked delicious, so I ordered one myself ✨. It is brewed with wine yeast, so it smelled like white wine on the nose 🍷. The aroma starts with a berry aroma, the sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong, almost like drinking a white wine, which is also good 😊. It's not too sweet and refreshing, it almost felt like a white wine rather than a sake, so I'm sure it would be great with white meat fish meuniere or something like that. ☺️

The top aroma is fruity and fruity: ☺️ The aroma is a beautiful apple-like ginjo aroma with a clean sweetness, low umami and acidity, and almost no gassiness. I searched online to review the taste and couldn't find this sake, is it a limited edition? I should have asked for more details from the master 😓.

The first sip has an elegant melon-like aroma, a silky nigori-like flavor and sweetness, a beautiful gasiness, and a moderate acidity, and it's so good you won't be able to stop once you start drinking it ☺️ I was very satisfied with this sweet and juicy sake that I like ✨. Sake from Saga is all delicious and good ✨

At the usual BAR (2) I drank Oroku for the first time a while ago, and since then I feel that I have lost my resistance to classic dry sake. The initial aroma is smoky 🤔. The sweetness is almost none or a little bit small, and there is also a chirichiri gasiness. I felt the umami and alcohol strongly from the beginning to the middle of the bottle, and a little fruity aroma from the middle to the end 🤔. Personally, I like sweet fruity sake, but Ohroku is between modern and classic, not too dry and full of umami, so I really enjoyed it 😊.

At the usual BAR 🍶. I wanted to drink SEA, but I was also interested in AIR🏖️ Almost no top notes, a little lemon and other citrus aroma 🍋. The first sip starts with a refreshing aroma, sourness, and gasiness like a Greffle Sour or Lemon Sour, with a moderate sweetness and almost no alcohol. It fades out with a strong bitterness at the end ✨. It was a very tasty, refreshing summer sake with a strong acidity 😊.

I had to go back to my parents' house, so I was a little excited to open a bottle of this one, which I had carefully chilled in our refrigerator. The aroma on the nose is a little pineapple-like 🤔. The first sip 🤔. The first sip is very juicy and the umami is very refreshing and fruity. ☺️ The nose starts with a fruity aroma like pineapple or apple, which is the same as the top nose, followed by a slightly stronger acidity, and then the umami of rice peculiar to Omachi gradually spreads. It has a sweetness, but it is not a sticky sweetness, but a refreshing sweetness, and the lingering taste is short to slightly medium, ending with a clean and crisp finish without any bitterness or other unpleasant tastes ✨. I've only had Nabeshima with purple yamadanishiki and blossom moon, but so far this was a rich fruity sake that I think suits my palate, thanks for the treat 😋!

Here is the last one to close! It will be my first Ten Frog 🐸. I was surprised to see the alcohol content on the back of the label, it's 8% 👀. There were beautiful bubbles from the moment it was poured into the glass, and I didn't notice much of an upfront aroma. When I took a sip, the sweet and sour grapefruit-like aroma spread out, and the gasiness, low alcohol, elegant sweetness and acidity made it a dangerous sake that I could drink forever 😂.

We chose this one because of the Nagano connection from the Zenkichi we had earlier✨. The Shinshu Kamerei we had previously had a few days after opening, but this time we had a freshly opened bottle: ☺️ It starts with a particularly strong gassy sensation, followed by a spread of sweetness and umami, with no bitterness or astringency, and a nice slow fade-out. It's definitely a consistent good taste, and I'm sure I'll be back for more 😋.

I decided to try a dry sake and the master recommended this one 🍶. The palate is calm and not sweet, with a slight pineapple fruity aroma 🍍 Overall, I thought it was refreshing, dry but not too alcoholic, and a bit of a food drink that you can easily enjoy 👀. I still don't prefer dry sake, but it was one that made me think that dry sake is not so bad. ☺️

I asked the master to choose a drink that I liked ✨. I'm not normally a big fan of soju, but this one broke all my preconceptions 🥊. I was told that they use a type of rice called Shunyo for part of the rice used, and it was my favorite sake, with a muscat and pear-like aroma, sweetness, umami, and gasiness mixed together just right, and without any of the unique smells that are typical of sake with alcohol added 😊. It was probably without a doubt the No.1 drink I had today!

It is said to be the one and only sake brewed with "Gin-no-sato" sake rice grown on the island's soil and underground water that was searched for five years in Iki, where the brewery is located (quoted on the Todoroki Sake Brewery website). From the fruity aroma of strawberries and lychee, the sake has a good balance between the unique, calm sweetness, umami, and moderate gassiness, ending with a small to slightly medium bitterness that fades out nicely✨. I got hooked on Yokoyama with their summer jungin, and this was another must-try for those who like sweet and umami 😊.

This is Koei Kiku's summer sake, Sunburst🌻, which has been on my mind for a long time. I've heard that it focuses on acidity, as in burst of acidity, and it certainly has a lot of acidity, but the strong gassiness keeps the acidity from being too assertive, and the moderate umami from the rice and the bitterness that comes at the end make it a well balanced sake ✨. The logo of a certain coffee shop looks like the label of Koei Chrysanthemum today_(:3)_
