Aromas of melon and nectar with a hint of ginjo aroma 🐝The balance between the top and in-mouth aroma is pleasant and comfortable. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity! Delicious!
First purchase with not high specs but low price. I should have looked at the other comments, but it is not good cold. The aroma is rich and alcoholic, like soy sauce, and it is best served hot. Not for summer.
The aroma of super-sweet, ripe, melon-like ethyl caproate is very pleasant. When you put it in your mouth, it spreads further. It is like drinking a perfume.
Hi Ars 😃
Oooh! Good one by Mr. Golden Sparrow 🤩.
Here it is! We had it for 300 yen a cup when we went to Kintai Bridge 2 years ago 😌 It said "thick, sweet and delicious"...but I don't remember the taste 😆.
The aroma is of muscat 4mmp with a hint of rice sweetness, but when you put it in your mouth, the light umami and sweetness spreads in your mouth. The label is nice.
A collaboration sake with Houou Mita. It is a collaboration with Hououmida and has a slightly light nigori (nigori means slightly cloudy) flavor. The aroma is refreshing with a hint of sweetness, and the taste is different from usual in that the acidity is subdued, but the sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt.
Hi Ars 😃
Your review reminded me of the time when we compared drinks at the prefectural meeting: ☺️ I think both breweries have a great taste that makes you think "oh it's Senkou, oh it's Houou Mida" 🥰.
Aikoku, a rare sake rice that is a reintroduction of ancient rice. Houou Mita & Sengoku's joint project. First, Hououmida. The aroma was a little tame compared to the usual Hououmida. Unlike the usual melon aroma, the sweetness of the rice was unusually sweet and full with a lingering aftertaste. It still tastes good even after 2~3 days.
Flavor from the wooden vat brewing and pleasant acidity and taste from the sake brewing. Sake rice is still being planted, but I hope the price will not go up.
It still rises with a shriek when you open the bottle with caution! Loosely close the lid again and put it in the fridge! If you do this before drinking, you can open the bottle easily. The flavor is sweet and refreshing, and it finishes dry. It is the season to feel summer sake as the weather gets hotter.
Ars-san Good evening😊I also purchased a summer dobrokku😄I am looking forward to drinking it now😄and thank you for the pointers on how to open it✨I will put them into practice right away.
Hi Ars 😃
Hi Als 😃! You've made it. ‼️ Nice lecture on how to open it too 👍It's delicious!
I've got a bottle of Penguin by Kankoubai which you recommended! Nobby got it at Maru Fuji 🤗.
Purchased from a free Bunraku tasting at a liquor store. It was the cheapest one, but the aroma was citrusy and gassy, and the taste had a good acidity and sweetness, making it a good quality sake. After this, the two of them left for further sake adventure.
Hi Ars, good evening 🌆I like the idea of meeting people at tastings! I don't have many tasting events in Ibaraki prefecture, maybe because all the liquor stores are far from the station 🤣.
Jay & Nobby, thanks for the tip, lol.
I thought it would be dangerous to open another bottle on the way back from the bike ride (lol), so I'll definitely have an adventure next time!
The aroma and flavor are of ripe melon and pineapple, but it is easy to drink and not too heavy. It has been a while since I last had it, but maybe my image of it has changed.
I don't usually buy alsobe, but I asked him to take it out from the back of the store. I tried it. The aroma is fresh and muscat-like, the mouthfeel is sweet, but the aftertaste is clean and crisp. 🙂↕️
It has a slightly sweet aroma with a refreshing rice flavor, and the hint of fragrance spreads on the palate, with a good sweetness and flavor. This is a delicious dish.
Mainly Yamadanishiki specification from a brewery that brews with Gohyakumangoku. It is a sake that wins various awards. While most spring sakes are made with cherry blossoms, the rape blossoms are refreshing and have a moderate sweetness.
Sake rice called "Yuki-Omegami". The aroma is good, the flavor is sweet and delicious, and it is fresh and juicy!
It is a delicious sake that can be drunk by itself without any snacks (^^)
Moeibuki and unfamiliar sake rice. It is raw and bubbly with a noticeable mild aroma, soft and nice on the palate, and the taste is sweet and delicious.
