Summer Session was refreshing and delicious, so here it is too. Pretty label as always 🙌. Opening the bottle took quite a while. Opened and closed a few times and then opened the bottle. The aroma was sweet rice and sourness? When you drink it, you can taste the shwash, koji, and a little bitterness at the end. It is refreshing and crisp, and you can drink it without thinking about anything. The next day, when you mix it with lemon squash🍋🫧, the sweetness of the rice comes slowly. It is a delicious taste that makes you go on drinking without thinking. The lemon-like sourness at the end mellows out and the chili squash remains, but I think it has become a unifying flavor. I finished it while I was drinking it without thinking. It was delicious.

I've always wanted to try it because I thought I saw somewhere that it resembles Fatty Fat. I got the last one at a liquor store I sometimes go to, but a few days later I found a lot of them lined up at a liquor store I usually go to! A few days later, there were many bottles of it lined up at the liquor store I usually go to. The aroma was sour and rummy, and it looked delicious. When you swallow it, you can feel the fresh sweetness of apples and grapes, and the moment you swallow it, the rice spreads out and it's delicious. More classical than the aroma. After a few days, while there are apples, deep umami and bitterness assert themselves. It is relatively refreshing, but for some reason I can't drink a lot at once. When I sipped it with sea urchin, the sweetness of the rice increased and it was delicious. I thought I could taste the bitterness when I drank salted squid. As the day goes on further, the bitterness seems to increase...but not so much...it's hard to say. It has a sweet atmosphere, but the flavor is more classic, including the aroma, than sweet. The flavor is very good. But it doesn't have an impact anywhere. There is not much difference in tension from the beginning to the end. It was delicious, but it might be better to drink it immediately after opening the bottle. I've only had a little bit of ◯4yo outside, so I don't know if it is similar or not.

Good morning, Kotaro-san: ☀️ I've never had Fukurohangi, but I've never thought Isshiro is similar to Jyushidai 😅. Isshiro is characterized by the five tastes of sweet, tasty, sour, astringent and bitter, and I think it's the classical one as the review says 😆.

I tried to drink something I've never had before... but I ended up picking it up again this year. I enjoyed it last year, too 💛. This time it was tank #1. I opened the bottle with a "shupon"! The aroma is slightly acidic. The aroma is slightly acidic, with a hint of rummy. When you take a sip, it's like a sizzle! And what is this...the taste itself is not that sweet, but there is a dry sweet and sourness, and the aroma is gorgeous. Muscat or citrus? I don't know...but it is delicious. The flavor comes out when you swallow it. And then it is cut off. It is still delicious. Even after a few days have passed, the bottle is still opened with a gaseous chupon! The fruitiness of the taste has calmed down a bit, and the riceiness is felt more. The balance of abe-like acidity and rice! I think I like this one better than the first day. I finished it before I could write anything else... It was delicious this year, too.

I really wanted to make tempura of albacore at home, but I was wondering what would happen if it exploded... so I delayed the opening of the bottle. When I opened the bottle, it was mixed with the other ingredients! The aroma is soft melon? The aroma is soft melon? On the palate, it's citrus and melon with a hint of sweetness from the rice. The foam seems to mask the bitterness a bit? ...I just wanted to say "masking". The supernatant from the next day has a rich mikan 🍊-ness to it, but with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. But the aftertaste is a bit bitter and crisp. When mixed, the sweetness becomes rice and it feels a little more refreshing. I think I like it better when mixed. I was told at the liquor store that it would taste good even if left for a week or so, so I left a little bit of it in the bottle with a different one in between. ...Oh! This feels similar to my master's Hanazumi nigori. I'm glad that I somehow understand the feeling that the seniors described in their reviews. It's great that you all can sense it right from the start. By the way, I was scared of the explosion of the albacore tempura, so I decided to wrap the albacore in gyoza skin and deep fry it as a compromise 🥟. I ate it at home, and it was delicious with sake, so I guess it's OK! I want to try it next time.

It's the tiled roof that is the topic of discussion. I bought this one because it is drier than the birth sake black. The aroma is slightly apple, sourness, and grapefruitiness. When you drink it, it has chili, sweet apple and richness, slowly tasty and acidic, and finally bitter and dry, and disappears in a whimper. It is somewhere between classic and modern. Delicious. The next day, the dryness at the top of the rump might have settled down a bit and smoothed out. It is also delicious, but I liked the slow and sharp taste of the first day a lot. As the day progressed, it seemed to become more refreshing? There is a sweetness to the flavor. But a refreshing... herbal aftertaste? As more days pass, it moves closer to refreshing and the bitterness becomes a little stronger. The flavor remains just right, so I don't particularly like the bitterness! If you don't like bitterness, it's good. When you drink it, it is like sweet rice. It seems like a sweet porridge. It was a delicious sake with various expressions. I would like to try other sakes.

The clerk highly recommended it to me, and I became very curious about it, so I bought it. I was very curious about it, so I bought it. The aroma is grapefruit, apple, and grape. It is not as strong as I imagined. When you drink it, the taste is rich, with a slight chilli! But it is not sticky-sweet, but has a sourness, and the fruit is very dense. When you roll it around in your mouth, you can feel the delicious flavor and your cheeks get all chilly. It is not very sour, but... it is a strange sensation. The gradation of grape and grapefruit, with a bit of bitterness in the second half, gives it a thick flavor. It's not heavy, but rather layers of citrus. The aftertaste is refreshing. As recommended by the official recommendation, I bought some cheesecake and paired it with it. The richness of the two drinks went well together, and the sake itself tasted tighter, which was also delicious. The next day, the freshness settled down a bit and it became a clear liquid of grapes. I saw somewhere that it tastes good warmed up, so I half-heartedly warmed it up: ♨️ It was delicious! The rice flavor becomes mildly aromatic. It's like drinking a warm, delicious fruity drink without any twang or strong taste of anything. Not that spicy, but like a glühwein 🍷. I want to buy a stock of this for warming up on cold winter nights.

The label is almost pure white, but with a different texture and a mark that looks like a muscular cloud of Yue Yue. It opened without any problems, but the liquid level is slowly rising and seems to be about to shuffle up. The aroma is slightly sour, grapefruit, and a little apple. When you drink it, it is not so sweet, but has a light sourness and bitterness. There is also a slight umami taste in the middle. The mouthfeel is slippery and curdled. The aftertaste is light 🍊. The next day also has a grapefruit shuffle. As the temperature rises, the citrus flavor and sweetness increase. It is delicious and easy to sip. Light and modern at 13 degrees, this is the type of sake that you drink without thinking too much and before you know it, it's gone 🍶. The third and fourth labels are almost all white, and are from the Takahashi Sukesaku Brewery, which brews Togakushi and Matsuo yogurt liqueurs, which I recently drank 🥛. I usually don't buy liqueurs, but when I saw it, I took it home with me. It was delicious, with a strong raw milk flavor and a bit of bitterness and crispness that is typical of sake. It is also delicious when mixed with Houou Mita! I saw it somewhere, but gave it up because I didn't have it on hand. There are many liqueurs made by sake breweries, but if you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Unexpectedly, Yamamoto opened a series of bottles. To all appearances...almost lees❄️ I twisted the cap and it came up, so I put it in the freezer for a while.... After that, the bottle was opened without any problems, and the lees were automatically stirred 💃. The aroma is faintly acidic, grapefruit type, maybe. When you drink it, it is full of lees, fluffy on the palate, and mellow! Of course there is also some schwash, enjoyable. The taste is not sweet at all, but the lees part is soft and mellow rice flavor. There is a sweetness to the rice. Even though the lees is not solid and dissolved (liquid), it is strangely fluffy when you drink it. Is it because of the carbonation? It's strange....thick and fluffy, and then sizzling! The next day, I drink the supernatant. A little sourness and dry rice, still no sweetness. Shuwa, rice, a little bitter at the end. The mixing feeling is not so different from the day before? When you warm it up, the ♨️ impression doesn't change much, but the rice is a little sweeter and firmer. Delicious shuwa dry. It is good with a meal, but since it is mellow and fills you up, it is good to drink it with simple snacks such as miso (soybean paste).

I heard that Yamamoto is celebrating its 123rd anniversary this year! I wanted to do a "123rd Anniversary Sake" but I fell in love with Kijoshu.... The aroma is clean banana. When you drink it, the liquid is light, slightly chili, and refreshingly banana! The pleasant citrusy acidity is followed by a deep umami. The aftertaste is refreshing, like herbs. If I were to draw a line to describe the flavor, it seems to disappear horizontally and straight without much blurring, with a thin vertical line. I like it. This is delicious. It has a nice flavor and aroma, but it doesn't go too deep, and it seems to cut off at the very front. I can drink as much as I want. After a few days, when the acidity mellows out, it seems to have a strawberry-like atmosphere. It doesn't lead to sweetness, but it is berry-like? Strawberry? I wonder if it's a strawberry aroma. It is also good with warmed ♨️ oden. The rice is slowly refreshing. A little bitterness at the end. I enjoyed it very much.

The aroma is slightly sour, fresh honey apple. When you include it, it's shwashy, sweet rice, a little apple-like sourness. When mixed, it is also delicious. The slightly sharp sourness mellows out and the sweetness of the rice blends in. In a good way, it looks like an orthodox sweet nigori, an honors style. ❄️ Even after a few days have passed and the bubbles have weakened, you can still enjoy the sweet schwarziness of the rice. It has a sweetness that is not unpleasant, and while you can taste the rice, it is easy to drink as it shakes off the fizz. It goes well with seafood, and if it's not too heavy, it can be served with meat as well. When warmed up, the ♨️ aroma is of sweet rice and alcohol, and I think it comes with a rather sharp taste. It is a sweet sake with a mild taste. The end result is a nice nigori warmed sake. It was a delicious sake that you can trust. I had seen the postings of some of our seniors and wanted to try it once. While I was in Sano the other day...I got some Sano Ramen with Yamaoka House on the side of the road 👀. It was delicious!

I wanted to drink a refreshing shuwashuwagashi🫧 and when I fished in the fridge, I found a blue hijirizumu that I was supposed to have drunk in the summer...! I had bought Yamadanishiki as well as Shiro Koji. I took off the guard and floated the stopper a little! The bottle was opened with a great sound. The aroma was slightly koji, grapefruit, and a sweetness like cotton candy. When I sipped it, I found it was sweeter than the white koji active sake in the same blue bottle. It is like a grapefruit with sugar 🍋‍🟩 and has no noticeable acidity. Rolling on the tongue, you can feel the umami of rice. A little bitterness at the end. There is a nice sharpness and a clear aftertaste, but there is almost no acidity, which gives the impression of sweetness. It is not sweet and fruity, but more like sugar water. It would be easier to drink if it had a little more acidity, but maybe I stored it too long. Maybe it's a bad idea, but I tried drizzling a little lemon 🍋, but the flavors seem to be separated...this is my mistake! After leaving it for a few days in hopes of a flavor change, the cotton candy type sweetness became less noticeable and transformed into a light, deliciously refreshing taste of rice! The foaming also helps, and the dryness increases a bit. I like this one a lot, and it was probably a good decision to leave it. The sweetness of the grape-like taste comes out towards the end 🍇 Overall, it was a fun sake with a variety of different tastes.

I tend to open nigori (a kind of beer with a sharp, sharp taste) these days, but I wanted to drink something sharp and crisp! I wanted to drink something sharp and crisp, so I opened a bottle of this one. The aroma is a little grapey? Apple? The aroma is sweet and fruity. As the name suggests, the aroma is soft and pleasant. When you take a sip, you will be surprised at how sweet it is. Is it unexpectedly sweet? It goes on and on in a completely non-sweet direction, and then disappears without a hitch. This is exactly what I wanted to drink now! The light umami and the crispness of the flavor! Delicious. As the day goes by, the aftertaste seems to become even more crisp. The aroma is more fruity at first. The feeling in the mouth is like water with a light and light flavor. The second half flows smoothly down the throat rather than being swallowed, and the final taste is sharp! I can imagine.... I thought it would be good with seafood with a strong flavor such as sea urchin to feel the full-bodied acidity.

I suddenly wanted to drink Toro Ama Sukkiri, and I remembered I had this one! I opened a bottle of the one I'd put away for a long time. The aroma is slightly sour...sweet citrus. When you take a sip, it has a slightly chili-chili-yellow mouthfeel. After the rich and refreshing sweetness of citrus and peach comes in, the acidic bumps burst in the mouth, and the wine finishes without being dull. I've been waiting for this. I was waiting for this feeling - I was so happy to find the flavor I wanted to drink. Although it is 12%, it is not thin. It is light, but has a rich and thick body. There is a bit of bitterness in the latter half. Clear mouthfeel, just like Yoshida Kurau ✨. I've always been a little confused about modern yamahai... is it different from regular yamahai? The orange one I had a long time ago was also delicious, but this pink one was also sweet, refreshing, and delicious. I wish for the reconstruction of the disaster area to progress🙏.

I was looking at the liquor store's shipment and saw a huge explosion alert, so I was curious and went to buy some 🍶. I feel like the cap is swelling up, so please play against me 👊. ...But I foul-armed it and put it in the freezer for a bit before opening the bottle and it opened without spewing at all. Cheating is not good. The aroma is a whiff of sweet and sour, a sweet sake type sweet and sour that I've been coming across a lot lately. When you take a sip, it's quite a bit of a sizzle! The top clear layer is a koji rice soda that tends to be refreshing, with a slight bitterness. When mixed, it has a strong carbonation. It is not sticky, but has a slight bitter taste. It is not sticky, but has a slight grapefruit-like freshness, and then the taste of rice and bitterness. Combined with the malty taste, it is a mild and refreshing sweet, sour, and bitter schwa🫧. It's interesting how the mouthfeel is curdled before mixing, but becomes fluffy after mixing. After a few days, it starts to pear a little. Maybe the carbonation has weakened a bit and the flavor can be felt? It comes close to refreshing and tastes good too. When heated, it has a light sweetness. It is the sweetness of cooked rice, but it also has a slight alcohol taste and can be cut clear: ♨️ It is not as strong as it looks, but it is very tasty and goes down a treat.

Some of the people at Sakenawa, who are all guessers of Mr. Toji Sato, always drink it with great relish, so please visit 🕊️ I couldn't find any draft sake, so I went with this one, which is hi-iru sake. The aroma is of sake-like acidity and honeyed apples? It smells like sweet apples? It is quite sweet, but when you drink it, it is not so sweet. However, when I sipped it, it was not so sweet. It has a moist mouthfeel, apple-like cotton candy sweetness, a strong umami, and a full-bodied bitterness, but generally speaking, it is very refreshing. This is a perfect match for Japanese food! I also like that it's blended in a bit as the day goes on. It is not sweet even though it seems sweet, and the balance of umami and lightness is good and refreshing! It also feels more transparent. The balance of umami, sweetness, and smoothness is excellent, and I think it would be great with sashimi, or even a sweet, mild meal. It has an apple-like acidity, but the main flavor is dry and refreshing, and I enjoyed it. I'd like to try some of the raw sake sometime soon!

I bought it because I enjoyed the Fuyuakari ❄️ I drank the other day, and because I liked the concept of "remembering the day while stupefying yourself, and falling asleep comfortably after drinking it. The aroma is slightly sour and a little sweet. When you take a sip of it, you can feel its mild, mellow, and slightly chili-like flavor. There is no strong assertion, but rather a gentle sweetness with a grape-like atmosphere and a thin film of sourness. The sweetness is mild and the acidity is mild, despite the thick mouthfeel. Overall, it is moist and gentle, and I feel that the water is soft. This...what is it? It is not that the taste is thin, but the flavor itself is not so assertive...It is like a kelp soup stock, not too strong, but with a strong umami taste. Even after a few days, the balance of the flavor remains the same, and the drink goes down smoothly. It is even swifter and more umami water than swishy. The base has a classical feel to it, but there is no hookiness. There is no outstanding sweetness or acidity, and it is mellow and delicious. I'd like to try the others, as I enjoy the relationship between the various concepts and flavors.

The one I've been wondering about since last year. I opened it, quite freaked out, but it didn't spurt at all, didn't start dancing, and was a quiet snowfall. The lees were about 3-4 cm. The aroma was faint, and I wondered if it was sour. When I took a sip, it didn't spurt, but there was a lot of shrieking. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, pear, not much sweetness, dry. When I mixed it, it was even less sweet and a little bitter. It's even drier, but I think I like it better ✨. The next day, it retains the goodness of the first day, but is more integrated. Grapefruit type acidity, a little sweetness, rice flavor and bitterness. Schwarzingly refreshing and delicious too 🍶🫧. When heated up, the sweetness of the rice and the alcohol taste is quite strong. It tastes like sweet rice while coming in hot. It is quite sharp, so you may prefer it cold. Remembering how I paired Ona nigori with gyoza last year, I went with it with 🥟 on the first day this time, too. It's a bit sharp, but it acts like 🍺, which is also good for the gutty type! On its own, it was also delicious to feel the familiar unity and dryness of the second day.

Good evening, Kotaro! We had the regular junmai sake last year, but we haven't had the absolutely delicious activated nigori yet 🥲I found a bottle left at Hasegawa in Tokyo station the other day, but I couldn't carry it around for a day so I gave up 😓.

Good morning, Kotaro-san 😀 I'm preparing Shichibonjari for our Nigorinpik, but I've heard rumors that it's dry and was thinking of heating it up, but I think cold sake would be better 🤣 because I don't like the smell of alcohol when it's heated. I don't like the smell of alcohol when heated 😅

Hello Kotaro-san 🐦. I've never been able to get rid of the old solid image of Nanamotoyari, but now I'm ready to drink it at home after drinking it a little and seeing you guys enjoying it so much 😁The active nigori is especially appealing ❣️

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! I've been looking back at the reviews and the Junmai sake looks great too👍certainly not something I'd carry around while sightseeing in Tokyo 😂. I'm sure you'll enjoy the active nigori 😁, so if you come across it, please do 😆.

Good evening, Yasbay. I think it's dry dry as it's almost not sweet 😊. I think it's dry and dry because it's almost not sweet 😊 Maybe it's because I didn't heat it up well 💦I got the impression that it would be quite alcoholic 🤔If you like cold sake to begin with, it's delicious as is👍

Pon-chan, good evening 🌙 I also had a classic and I thought it would go down well, but this one has a nice effervescence that helps it go down well 😆 Please try Pon-chan's active nigori at home 😚✨.

Everyone's reviews on sakénwa were so good... I bought some 🍶. The aroma is rummy and... peary, citrusy, and refreshingly sweet. On the palate, there's a fine chili schwirl and a mild, gentle sweetness. Is the flavor still pear? It's still a bit firm, or maybe just a hint of mackie-ness. Pear and a bit of rummy, overall a soft and gentle sweetness. When mixed, the aroma is rice and the mackie disappears. The soft bitterness reminds me of grapefruit, but I still think it's pear. The sweetness is soft and fluffy, and it finishes with a nice, tight bite. The next day, it is rounder and even tastier. I think I like this one better. The aroma is mild and mellow, and the aftertaste disappears beautifully ✨It doesn't leave a strong enough impression to be sharp, but it disappears cleanly and smoothly. It was a delicious light nigori with a gentle sweetness and a clean aftertaste that reminded me of a snowy landscape, just like its name. ❄️

CWS by Changyang Fookmusume. I've had a few of the Active series and enjoyed the Spring/Summer one, so here's another! The aroma is light Koji, with a bit of sweet grapefruitiness. When you drink it, it is chiri-shuwa and citrusy. It is light but has a strong umami and sweetness from the rice, with a slight bitterness at the end. When mixed, it becomes mellow and sweet. After some time, it is 🍐 juice, soft, with a nice little bitterness. At the end you feel the rice. The fizziness weakens but remains. It is light and tasty even if you drink it without thinking, as is typical of CWS, and it is a light nigori that can be drunk quickly without feeling 16 degrees. I have a sore throat, so I'm going to sterilize my throat with alcohol again today 🤒🍶.

Shiromiki" sounds like a happy occasion, so we opened the bottle just before New Year's? I opened the bottle before the New Year's holiday. The liquor store threatened me a lot, but I was able to open the bottle without blowing it. But it got mixed in with the other bottles. The aroma is faintly koji and sweet. When you drink it, you are struck by the sweetness of the rice and the acidity of the koji. The bitter taste is quite strong at the end. The next day, drink the supernatant that could not be drunk when the bottle was opened. The aroma is sweet? koji, tangerine 🍊-like sweet acidity. When you drink it, it has a fluffy sweetness, a relatively clean umami, and finishes with acidity and bitterness. After mixing, the flavor becomes more intense, and the rice is sweet and tasty. It is an active nigori! I tried heating it up. The aroma is of rice, sweet sake, and koji-like acidity. When heated, it is rather sweet. It's like amazake with sweetness and sourness. It's a bit like drinking nigori sake at random this time of year, but it has its own character and is delicious.
