さるごん
★★★★★ I went to the brewery in Joetsu to purchase this sake. It has won awards and was recommended to me first and foremost. This one is a no-brainer. It has a mild and full mouthfeel, followed by a warm lingering aftertaste. It was like going back to one's parents' home. This is a drink that you should definitely try when the bleakness of the world becomes too much for you.

★★★★★ Second in a series given to me by my father-in-law! Soft and full. The mouthfeel is warm and enveloping. It makes you forget all the bad things and makes you feel relaxed. Kanazawa has a high level of quality. Despite the coldness of Ishikawa Prefecture, they have finished it gently. Frankly, I was surprised.

★★★★ My father-in-law gave me this series! Part 1! First, the centerpiece! The Futurama is so good! Easy to drink before, during, or after dinner. Nice sharpness. It has a clean aftertaste. No peculiarities. Enjoyable!

★★★★★ Great punch, but drinkable neat. The high alcohol content makes it a bad choice. If I'm not careful, I drink too much and remember... I had a feeling that I was not satisfied with the usual "big dry one", but this one is different. But this one is different. The umami of the rice comes through straight away. It is a seasonal and limited edition, but if you happen to be in the neighborhood, I highly recommend you to buy a bottle. The yuzu sake I also bought is also good.

★★★★★ Really 19 degrees? Mellow yet sharp. Not too spicy, maybe a little spicy. Goes well with meals. I drank it on the rocks, but it can be drunk in various ways. This is dangerous because you can easily drink it despite its high alcohol content. If you're not careful, you can end up drinking too much... It was our 11th wedding anniversary.

★★★★★ It is characterized by a refreshing acidity due to the two-time fermentation in the bottle. It is fine and very delicate. For better or for worse, it does not give the impression of being a Japanese sake. Mindful and mindful. No need to find a reason for it. Just soak in the aftertaste in peace and quiet. I have worked at my current place of employment for six years. Such a perfect drink to look back on myself. Thank you all. Thank you for the recommendation from my favorite liquor store. A little expensive, but a great time. It is more like a sparring wine or a toast than a sake. I drank it in no time at all.

Hissan (3.3kg of rice) Thanks for your comment. It was an exceptional one, partly because my current work environment has been quite difficult 🍶. I look forward to more of your posts 😁.

★★★★★ Coo. Refreshing! It has no peculiarities, as if it were water. This is the first time I drank Yamma, but I didn't expect it to be this good. It really has no peculiarities and can be drunk anywhere. I can see myself repeating it. With stuffed peppers.

★★★ → ★★★★ Well... I guess it wasn't for me... I had been drinking a lot of sweet nigori, so I felt uncomfortable with the spicy nigori. However, I enjoyed the slight spicy flavor. I bought it as a souvenir for myself at Hina Biraki in Iwamuro. Next year, I will buy the recommended one. Postscript. I drank it again 3 days later. Mmm? That hard feeling became round. Isn't it supposed to be mild and tasty! If it costs 1,100 yen, it might be the most cost-effective.

★★★★★ Is this calpis...? Yum, too good... I noticed it was half gone... In a way, it's cosy... Sweetness with a hint of thickening from a slight sourness. Personally, I think it could be a little more sour, but it's totally good. I would totally repeat it. Now, what should I choose for my next nigori?

★★★★★ For the Doll's Festival. We enjoyed having it. It's so elegant. Despite that, it can be served before or after a meal. Toyama is milder than Niigata.

★★★★★ Is this amazake? It goes in smoothly and spreads a full flavor and aroma. It goes down smoothly, yet has a full-bodied flavor. This may be my first nigori. I didn't know it was this good. It is said that this is the first nigori in Kirinzan's history, and I wonder why it has never been offered before. I would like to repeat this beer just for the sake of it.

★★★ At my usual liquor store. I chose this one as a recommendation for hot sake. It's very dry, just as it says on the bottle. First of all, the spiciness hits you like a ton of bricks. Then there's the rich aroma and flavor that only a hot sake can provide. It's perfect for a cold day. Hmmm... GOOD as a hot sake for adults. Then I realized something. Maybe I'm not so good with spicy food...

★★★★★ This is the sake that we had planned to sell exclusively at the Sake Festival. Unfortunately, it was cancelled again this year due to Corona... So it is now in stock at a familiar store. I'm grateful for this. It's silky smooth and has a rich aroma like pineapple. I wonder what it is. I can really drink as much as I want. There's nothing peculiar about it at all. I'm also looking forward to the snow. Incidentally, I bought it because it matches my family's name. Maybe it's because of that, but it's twice as good. I tasted it in a homemade cup made of oven clay.

★★★★★ This is good! I mean, it's too easy to drink without any peculiarities. It is soft on the palate and spreads a heavy flavor in the mouth. I can drink it as much as I want without any snacks. This is one of the best bottles I've ever had. I have to thank my father-in-law.

★★★★★ It's a bit oily. Muscatty fizz. Solstice is just so easy to drink, but it's even easier to drink. Is this wine? It's so easy to drink. I want everyone in the country to try it. It was served with my wife's homemade shrimp mayo.

★★★★★ My favorite KUSUMI SHUZOH! The first shot of the new year should be a sake that doesn't disappoint. It's clear, refreshing and has no peculiarities. It has a clear taste, but still packs a punch. We wish you a happy new year.

★★★★ Happy New Year! We'll be enjoying Niigata's sake this year too! I went to my favorite liquor store. I was going to buy "Yukunen Kuru-Nen", but it was sold out. However, there was a bottle suitable for the New Year! A different bottle from the usual Denkara. This one is also good! Clear and crisp! It's a perfect New Year's bottle! I hope 2022 will be a good year for everyone.

★★★ As usual, I ordered "good sake heated up" from a liquor store I know. I chose this one from among several candidates. It has no peculiarities and is just plain good. Yes, just plain. Rather than meat, it matches fish! It's perfect for the cold season. Serve with yellowtail with spicy sauce.

★★★★ Every year, I go to Yahiko in the season of autumn leaves. And always "Koshi no Hakusetsu". I think it is normal. It's very ordinary. However, this ordinary sake has no peculiarity and goes well with anything. It makes me feel happy with the autumn leaves of Yahiko. It is one of my basic bottles.

★★★★★ It's great with hot sake. Clean and gorgeous. It's elegant and the nose is filled with a rich aroma. It's enough to make you feel happy and free from the mundane world. You can just keep drinking it without any snacks. It's worth repeating. Please try it as a hot sake!
