若い頃は乾杯のビールを持て余すほどアルコールが苦手でした。日本酒なんて飲んだら倒れるとイメージしてました。少し飲めるようになりましたが、まだまだ弱い。一合くらいがちょうどいい。日本酒の奥深さ美味しさに魅了されハマりました。

I visited Mukai Sake Brewery and got this during my trip to Amanohashidate area during Golden Week. I bought it when I had lunch at Ine and saw the person next to me drinking it with relish. It is made from ancient rice and has a unique color, taste, and aroma 🍶 At first I thought it had a strong habit and wondered what it was, but after drinking it on the rocks or with soda, I began to enjoy its habit. The aroma and taste are reminiscent of the syrup you get when you catch a cold. I forgot to try it hot, so I will try it when I have a chance.

This is my first time to try Shinomine. I thought it would be a traditional type of sake that I don't like because of the sound of the name, but it's really delicious! Nara's sake is delicious 😋, easy to drink and tasty.

My first Laughing Four Seasons Sake Brewery 😆 I think it has sweetness and spiciness in the acidity and can be used as a food sake. I feel newness in traditional sake.

The sake shop went to the brewery early in the morning on March 14 to pick up the sake, and it was sold on the same day as the name "This Morning Shibori-shibori". This sake is super freshly pressed. The sake was fresh and tasty, although it was strong in alcohol content. Thanks to the sake brewer's hard work.

The other day, I got it at Okage Yokocho. It was very crowded because of Chinese New Year and three consecutive holidays. Traffic jam on the way back was 50 km 😅. It has a sweet aroma like candy spreading in your mouth, but the aftertaste is refreshing. Very tasty 😋.

Sake that came with a set of festive dishes purchased at Yamanaka Sake Shop. Received at Sakafune on New Year's Eve. When I ordered, they asked me what I liked and gave me the store's choice of sake 🍶 It also seemed to be a limited edition sake, and I was hooked, as I have a weakness for limited edition sake. I was very happy to find that the sake was better than I had imagined. It was very fruity and easy to drink! The sake was very fruity and easy to drink, and it went well with the obsechi dishes! I would like to repeat my purchase next year...and I hope to visit Sakafune many times this year!

Hi Kiyotaku 😃 I bet you can't go wrong with a set of sake with a festive meal bought at a liquor store 🤗. I'm a sucker for limited editions...I know what you mean 😆.

Jay & Nobby: This liquor store also has a restaurant in Osaka that serves sake, so you can't go wrong! If you have a chance to come to Osaka, please stop by! Do you live in Tochigi Prefecture? Tochigi is the best place to visit because it is full of delicious sake!

The alcohol content is a little high in the original sake, but it is a delicious sake with sweetness and aroma on the palate without any alcohol taste. As expected of Hououmida👍I have a weakness for limited editions. I couldn't resist picking it up. But it was definitely delicious.

Matsumoto Sake Brewery is the best. I went to Fushimi to get it. It is a sake that is distributed only in Kyoto and is not often seen. It has a clear, acidic taste. The alcohol content is 13%, so you can gobble it up. I love the tanginess. The label is also cool. I wonder if there are more in this series.
