I looked at this turtle sea to see if it was new to me and saw that it was low al at 9 degrees, so I bought this one to try. The aroma is sour, like yogurt and lychee, also rummy. When you include it, it is chili and sour! Hard to describe, but bright and brisk, juicy acidity 🍋. Some firm sweetness, but a nice balance with the acidity. The aroma seems a little sweet? I thought it might be a little sweet, but the taste is just the right acidity juice for summer 🍏. It is low in alcohol but rich, and while it is very drinkable, it is refreshing at the end, so you can drink it in big gulps. The alcohol content is low, but it is thick and refreshing at the end, so you can drink it in large gulps. It was the type of sake that I would drink by itself rather than with a meal. It was delicious and just right for a hot day!

I came across this fern cider 🫧 while looking for a pink label junmai nama sake. Bought it because the name and the look of it sounded delicious. Snowflake ❄️ and what an attractive specification! The bottle was safely opened after a few minutes of sizzling a few times. The aroma is of sourness and amazake-like rice. When you drink it, it's like a sizzle! The rice is soft and sweet, and there is also a sourness like grapefruit. The aftertaste is carbonated and dry, making it easy to pair with a meal. Even after a few days, the fizzy feeling is still there, light pear and rice. This is a safe drink, delicious~. It was a shwashy sake that I could drink without thinking, which was appreciated on a hot day!

Two slender hares 🐇🐇🐇. Aroma is sweet rice, not strong. There is no sinking feeling. When you include it, the sweetness comes first. It is not fruity, the aroma itself is moderate, and the sweetness is light, like sugar. There is some acidity, but it is more of a sake-like sourness than a fruit or lactic acidity.... There is quite a bitter taste at the end. It may not change much after a few days. It has a light sugar-water sweetness, but it's not too sharp. 13%, but it seems to be cut off by the alcohol. I thought it was a modern type of sake, so I had a strange feeling of discomfort, but it's more like a classic sake. It is surprisingly drinkable. It was a little different from what I imagined from the blue bottle and the low alcohol content. It's tasty, but I think it would be easier to drink this time of year if it were a little more refreshing.

I saw on SNS that Kiri-Tsukuba's prefecture limited edition sake was on sale, and impulsively decided to make a small expedition to Ibaraki to try the ultra-harsh sake! I was impulsive enough to make a small trip to Ibaraki...but only to the southernmost sake shop. The aroma is apple-like 🍎 and melon-like 🍈. I'm not sure 🍈. A little chili, apple flavor, and clarity. The final taste is bitter and smooth. Delicious! Full of apple flavor, but not too bitter, so it's the kind of thing that makes you go on. Not super dry at all, but perfect for a meal. It is a clear drink of sweet apples and rice 🍶 It is not alcoholic, and the slight bitterness is still a nice accent. The mouthfeel is very clear and fresh. When drunk with a meal, it seems to reset itself while repeating its umami. I hope they expand the sales channels outside of the prefecture. I am looking forward to the one I bought with it!

Good evening, Kotaro. I have a theory that Kirizukuba is actually better than Urasato. When I gave it to my friend, he asked me if it contained melon juice. He said, "Is this melon juice in it? Ibaraki sake is not to be underestimated.

コタロー
It is from a liquor store's hanpukai. The aroma is a little alcoholic and sour grape... more raisin-like than a regular grape, I think 🍇. When you drink it, there is a chili shuffle, and immediately a grape-like sweetness that is in the same vein as the aroma arrives, but at the same time, it is disintegrated on the tongue and disappears dry. This sensation is what keeps me coming back for the next glass. After a few days, the chilischwa settles down and is no longer present. Instead, the mouthfeel becomes very clear. The wine is easy to drink, with a light grape flavor and a touch of bitterness. The day after opening the bottle, I thought, "What? I thought the taste had changed to something I didn't like very much... but the next day it didn't. Did it change again right away, or is it a physical condition? Even if I am not aware of it, I think that when sake does not taste good, I may not be in perfect health. This Kaze no Mori was good because it tasted good afterwards!

It was from a liquor store's hanpukai. I mistakenly thought it was fire-aged, and stored it carelessly... I looked at it carefully and found that it was a draft sake! What if it tastes funny now that some time has passed... but it's Yamahai, so maybe it's okay... I opened the bottle and started mumbling to myself! The aroma is sour and lemon. Oh, this looks very sour. When I sipped it, it was chili-swirling and sour! The sourness makes your eyes water. It also has a bit of bitterness, like a 🍋squash. It is not as sweet as a 🍋sour, but not as dry as a 🍋sour, and the flavor is rich, tasty, and fresh. This sourness is good in summer. It didn't taste weird at all! Rather delicious! However, I don't think it's the same as the key words on the back: juicy, elegant, and wild.... It tastes good the next day too. Nice aroma of lemon with some muscat elements. The taste is still mainly acidic, with a sizzling acidity, citrus peel-like bitterness, and some lime and muscat. I was surprised that the taste was so perfect for my current mood, but it is interesting to think that I will never be able to find this taste again because no one intended for it to be there. I feel sorry for everyone at the brewery, but it was as good as it could be with a different flavor👍.

When it was first released, a liquor store on a social networking site wrote that the gasiness might increase if it was laid down, and I couldn't help but lay it down too long. The aroma is apple and sweet rice. When you drink it, it is full of the flavor of chirichiri, apple, and rice! There is also a robust sweetness, but thankfully it doesn't sink in. When mixed, it becomes more dry and the sweetness disperses. The sourness and umami spread out and are capped off by a bit of bitterness. The next day and beyond, the apples are still there. It is more languid than when the bottle was first opened, but the aftertaste is refreshing and keeps you going. The umami spreads slowly, and the bitterness at the end is the same as before. It's hot, but this kind of slow and steady style is also good. It wasn't so shwashy at the liquor store, though! It was delicious ✨

I was caught by the words "secondary fermentation in bottle" 🫧. I was afraid to open the bottle, but it opened without incident. The aroma is slightly sour. When you drink it, you will notice a slight carbonation. The yeast may have given it a peachy impression. After mixing, the flavor increases. It has a slightly bitter citrus flavor and a fresh peach fruity flavor. It is crisp and dry, and it makes you want to drink more. After a few days, there is still some chili. It is sweet and bitter dry with peach and a little bit of yogurt. The citrusy freshness is mixed with a rich sweetness like amazake or honey in the back, and finally it breaks off with a sizzle combined with the carbonation. It's a winter month, but it's delicious enough to gobble up in the summer 🍶.

Golden Wakasama🥇. It is a sake made with Omachi from Fukuoka Prefecture. I bought it last year and actually hadn't drunk it yet, and I wanted to open it on Wakanami day (7/3), but the timing wasn't right, so I opened it on Nago day(?). I wanted to open it on Wakanami day (7/3), but the timing wasn't right. The aroma is sour and softly sweet. When you drink it, it is chili-swirling and fresh, even though it has been aged for quite a while. The citrus-like sweet and sour bitterness dissolves into a zesty dryness. It's amazingly tasty! Is this last August? Not at all 👌. The next day is not much different, but it's clearer and more muscat-like and fruity. It tastes even better too. It was a delicious drink I would drink again 🍶 Will it be available again this year?

The one I've never had from Yamazan. The aroma is sour. When you include it, it's fire-roasted but fresh chile! Rumne gradually seeps in, and then it closes with a fresh herbal cleanness. It is calm, but the gradation of flavors is interesting and satisfying. As the day goes by, the rummy feeling increases. But it's not sweet, it's crisp. At the end, there is a soft forest-like aroma. It's delicious. After more time, it is fresh and fruity like white grape and citrus, and it is clear. The aftertaste is a bit herbal, so it doesn't end up monotonous. It is an excellent food wine and a delicious sake to be paired with delicate dishes.

The aroma is slightly sour. When you take a sip, you will feel the smoothness in your mouth, followed by a citrusy sourness. The last taste is slightly bitter. It is sweet and sour and goes down smoothly. The sourness is quite similar to that of Niida no Go-san, which I drank the other day. After drinking it for a few days, I felt that the flavor gradually became more concentrated, and it became more and more to my liking. I wanted to try it with Japanese sweets, but I forgot to prepare them, so I went with sweetened chestnuts🌰 that were in the fridge. The sweetness in the sweet and sour taste was offset by the acidity. It's amazing that it has a wine-like quality on its own, but when paired with Japanese sweetness, it's perfect ✨. I would like to try the raw sake as well 🍶.

I've read many reviews of Kibotsu Tsuru that made it look delicious, and I'll definitely drink it this year! I was thinking "I'll definitely drink it this year! I started with the nigori, not the clear sake. The aroma is a little sweet with a hint of rice. When I drank the supernatant, I could see bubbles on the cup. Mildly sweet rice, cut by a little bitterness. When you mix it, oh, it's rice! Mushibu gohan, but mushy. The koji-like sweet aroma is diluted and it feels more refreshing. After a few days, the balance remains the same. The rice is mashed and crunchy, and it is as satisfying as doburoku. The mildly sweet flavor of the rice and the slightly bitter dry sharpness are nice. The sweet aroma is calmer than on the first day, making it easier to drink. The mild sweetness and chiri-shuwa taste, which is like Fujiya's Milky, makes you want to drink more and more. When I try mixing it with carbonated soda, it becomes crispy while the good parts remain, which is also good. Perfect for summer! I'd love to try a non-nagori one 🍶.

It's my first time to try a raw sake, but pure black should be a no-brainer! The aroma is rummy. When you drink it, it has a chili-swirling, berry-like sweetness, and the umami of the rice slowly permeates through, while it finishes crisp and clean. It's delicious and quirky. The fire-aged version gave the impression of banana and citrus, so I wonder if it is a little different. This one has a more concentrated flavor. Both are good. No big change after a few days. The sweet and sourness comes in a very sharp and sharp taste, and then it is cut off. I like this cleanness. I want to drink it anytime 🍶.

Unexpected fermentation raised the acidity level tremendously, Shizenshuu. According to the story, the acidity is over 5, so it's a miscalculation of 5 acidity? After all, when it is hot like this, I want acidity. The aroma is sour and a little alcoholic...maybe even a little sakekasu-like? When you drink it, it is not as sour as you expected? Along with the thick acidity, the sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt. The last part is also acidity and a little bitterness. The umami acidity slowly permeates the palate as it rolls around in the mouth, and it is delicious. It is different from the light sweet and sour taste, and the richness of the rice is balanced by the acidity, which is interesting and delicious.

The nose is sour, rice, and a little grapey. On the palate, it is dry with fruity flavors of chili rice, muscat and apple. However, rather than being crisp and clean, the rice flavor permeates through, and the bitter taste finishes off gently. As the temperature rises, it also has a rummy flavor. I think the complexity is more pronounced than the Romain series. But it is still a Mimuro cedar with a clear taste. It's complex...but it's not a cloying taste...it's a layered complexity. It's like a round reverberation in the mouth. As usual, the low alcohol content was appreciated, and I enjoyed it very much.

This is the one that I end up buying because of its extremely cool...no longer cold appearance 🧊. The aroma is a hint of grape-like sweetness. I think it's sweeter than last year, but less acidic. The next day, the chili-chilis are gone. The next day, the chirichiri-ness disappears, and the nose is filled with the usual Akabu-like aroma of sweet and sour. There is also a fruity flavor like peaches and apples. At the end, there is a soft bitterness. The contrast between sweetness and bitterness may be surprisingly noticeable, but it may be just right to gobble up. It was a delicious taste that I appreciated on a hot day 🍶. I've also included the eel ramen I got the other day.

The sweetness and richness of the rice gradually come to the side of the tongue...I wonder...if many sake have the image of the flavor spreading horizontally, this one seems to spread vertically. I can't explain it, but.... As it rolls around in the mouth, the temperature rises and a bit of bitterness comes out. The temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, but it feels like 13 degrees Celsius to me. It has a full-bodied flavor with a slight bitterness, and is light, clear, crisp, and delicious 🍶.

Mr. Kotaro. Good morning! Many sakes have a flavor that spreads horizontally, but this one has a flavor that spreads vertically! I know exactly what you mean! I think it's because my sense of taste is different from yours 🤣.

This year I want to make Umeshu (plum wine) with Sake! and found some for fruit wine 👀 but not commonly sold around here... hmmm.... Hmmm...? I thought that the sake that the "15 degrees is water 🙂‍↔️" people drink at Sake-no-Wa would have something over 20 degrees. So, here it is. And this year, for the first time in 5 years? And this year, for the first time in 5 years, the temperature is over 22 degrees Celsius. Before that, I tasted a little 🍶 at room temperature. The aroma is of rich, rich rice with a salty flavor like mirin (sweet sake) or mitarashi (sweet sake). When I took a sip, I could not help but say, "Wow, it's delicious! I exclaimed. I could still taste the saltiness, but there was also a sweetness like a Western wine...not quite fruity, but sweet, with a rich umami that made the sides of my tongue squeak and my cheeks drop ✨. To be honest, I was expecting it to be harder to drink, but it wasn't. I was expecting it to be more difficult to drink, but it wasn't. It has a heat that comes on when swallowing, and the temperature in the mouth drops immediately afterwards. The sensation of heat when swallowing and the temperature of the mouth dropping immediately afterwards? It is delicious even when it is warmed up...but if I don't drink enough of it, I will run out of plum wine...next time, I want to drink it normally! It's a fresh sake, but I don't have room in my fridge for a bottle of plum wine. But I learned at Sake-no-wa that Tamagawa can be stored at room temperature, so it should be fine! Looking forward to the finished product 🥳.

Hello Kotaro-san ☀☀☀☀☀. Pon-chan was also looking for a sake over 20° to make ume-shu with sake, but it's very rare. But with over 22°, it's almost like shochu 😲.

Hello, Kotaro 🐦. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Yamahai would be like at 22°C! I can't wait to see what it will be like when it's unfiltered raw Yamahai ✨I'm sure it'll be fine at 22 degrees Celsius.

Hi Gyve, good evening 🌙 It's hard to find anything over 20 degrees 🧐I honestly thought this was it 🙌 when I thought of it 🤭. Surely, it could be as cackling as shochu 😆.

Hi Pon, good evening 🌙 This was the only one I could get near me, so I came up with the idea and made a quick decision 🤣 I can't wait to see how we both end up tasting it 🥳. I know, right? I trust Tamagawa and all of you and keep it in a cool dark place as it is 🫣.

I went to a liquor store and saw a tasting event. I was allowed to taste four different kinds in turn, and I bought one because it was interesting that it tasted quite different from the three I had drunk before this one. Wassa means "mischief," and it seems to be a test brew that is only brought to tasting events. The aroma is not very strong? It has a slight grapefruit-like acidity. When you drink it, the sourness spreads immediately after a slight chilli sensation! But there is also a firm sweetness, and at the end, there is bitterness. The flavor gradates, then disappears after a squeak on the side of the tongue. When I tasted it, I thought it had more of a yogurt feeling, but when I drank it at home, it wasn't so bad. After a few days, the chili is gone, but the sizzling sweet and sourness remains thick, like apricot or plum. The balance of the flavor is very well balanced, and yet the aftertaste is crisp and easy to drink. It's delicious and interesting.
