Not the sea of turtles, but the cicadas in the East Crane area. Lately, the cicadas don't seem to be as loud as they used to be...maybe it's too hot. The aroma is grapefruit-like sourness. When you take a sip, you will feel a sizzling sensation! The sweetness of the rice spreads slowly, but it is cut off by a refreshing sourness. There is a slight bitterness, but it is hardly noticeable. It is the best of summer sake! Refreshing carbonation ✨🫧. This is...delicious! It's dangerous to drink it in gulps. Before I know it, I'm drinking it all up. I already want to drink it again next year 🍶. I don't seem to be near my house, but I would love to enjoy the cool of the evening while listening to the call of the higurashi... 🎐.

CWS🏄 of Kamikimoto I drank a yellow-green label light nigori last year and enjoyed it, so here it is too. This high-tension healing label is very summery 🌊. The aroma is sour? I can also taste a little sweetness from the rice. When you drink it, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and then the sharpness! It's so sharp ✨. This pink-labeled surfer is also as modern, crisp, and delicious as expected! I like to drink it quickly because it becomes a little less sharp as the day goes by. The third one is the peach beer recommended by the liquor store 🍑. It has a savory bitterness with a rich fruity peach flavor, but the taste itself is not too sweet, it's a proper beer and it's delicious 🍺.

I bought this makami because the nigori I drank before was so good. According to the liquor store, it is a refreshing type. The aroma is citrus, melon. Maybe a little bit of makki too. When you include it, it is ooey-gooey and chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili. The sweetness comes at first, but it turns to sourness and spreads out, and then it is tightened up with a bit of bitterness. This is the kind that goes well with a strong entrée! As the day goes by, it seems to become more classic. The name is Casual Modern, but it may not be that modern at the time of opening the bottle. The impression is that it is a clear classic with sweetness, umami, and acidity of rice. It is very drinkable and can be easily paired with meals, but I think I liked the nigori I drank before better!

Summer drinks, in summer! (Goal) Mimuro Cedar's summer sake, of course, is delicious, but the Japanese paper-like label and this coloring is also very elegant 🎐. The aroma is rummy, with some sweet grapefruit. The aroma on the nose is the gentle sweetness of the ruman series, with a clear mouthfeel and the gentle sweetness of the rice. The slight bitterness at the end is softly accented, and you can drink as much as you want. Mimuro cedar is also consistently delicious! It's low-alcoholic and a great all-rounder with a wide range of options ✨.

The liquor store's comment sounded delicious and I would like to try it! I thought, "Mai-bijin"...isn't it the one that Nemuchi-san was eating while saying it stinks (a compliment)? (a compliment), but then I realized that Mai-Bijin was the one that Mr. Nemuchi was eating while saying, "It stinks! I was scared. I asked the clerk about it, and he told me that it was easy to drink and would run out quickly, so I bought it without hesitation. The acidity of 9.5 should be 🫶, right? But the tags were quite a few. The moment a little air enters the bottle by twisting it lightly, the lees that were at the bottom of the bottle go "Bwahhhhh! The lees at the bottom of the tag soared up in an instant. It was just like a dancing beauty. After a few minutes, the bottle was finally opened. The aroma is lemon and grapefruit. When you drink it, it has a refreshing, creamy lemon and grapefruit aroma with a hint of a wooden chest in the background... I wonder if it has something to do with the wooden tank pressing. This is the one that goes on and on. The next day, I have the top clear. The carbonation is reduced, about a chili shuwa. It has a woody aroma and sour citrus! I also sense some herbs? 🌿. While the aftertaste is sour, there is also a sweetness of rice when rolled on the tongue. When mixed, it is still creamy lemon. It's mild and tart, and then it breaks off. It was a delicious sake that even a beginner to Mai-Bijin could enjoy drinking in large gulps!

New this year, low al Masayo 🍶. It wasn't supposed to be carbonated, but when I took off the guard and let it float a little, the stopper popped! I took off the guard and let it float for a bit. The aroma is sour, with a hint of rummy and grapefruit. When you sip it, it has a light sweetness with some chili and a sourness that spreads slowly. It has a nice sharpness, but rather than cutting off sharply, it seems to disappear without leaving a lingering aftertaste. The light sweetness makes it easy to enjoy. As the temperature rises, it starts to feel a bit like sugar water. I like it better when it is cold because you can feel the sourness. However, if the alcohol content is this low, I can drink it without getting drunk all the time, which is great. I enjoyed it smoothly without getting stuck.

The aroma is slightly sour? There may be a little sweetness like mandarin oranges. When you take a sip, you will feel a slight chilli. The light richness and umami burst out and disappear with a slight bitterness. The clarity of the wine moves smoothly with just the right amount of acidity. The freshness and sharpness are typical of Kamokin! The next day, the chilli is gone. The next day, the chili is gone, but it's still mild, crisp, and ✨balanced, but I think I prefer the first day when I can feel the chili juices! It was delicious and exactly what I expected.

It's the one I've been wanting to try for a while. The aroma is sweet and sour, like citrus or sweet and sour sake. When you include the supernatant, it is very sweet and very sour! Dark! It is like that sweet and sour pink nigori (a kind of pinkish liquor) that we used to get in the early spring. If I had to use a metaphor, I would say it is like a tart tangerine or berry. When mixed together, it turns into a sloppy, thick, doburoku! It is the sweet and sour taste of mashed rice. Of course it is delicious on its own, but it is also delicious with meals such as tempura and curry. The third and fourth pictures are related to the pink color, and are a plum and yogurt liqueur that I drank just recently. Hollywood is a variety of plum, and even the pulp is a beautiful reddish purple 🍑. At first there is a mellow yogurt and a slight bitterness that is typical of sake, then a refreshing sourness spreads out and it is delicious. It is a project of Rajomon, and the base is said to be koji sanbai and kazan tsuzumi. The name of the president of Shuho Sake Brewery (Koji Sanbai) and Wakanoi Sake Brewery (Kazanazumi) is the same, "Shuwa," so the sake is also named after him.

Hiyayogoshi is starting to appear, but it is still a summer sake🎐. I opened the bottle looking forward to it, thinking it would be good on a hot day from the name. Not much aroma? It is slightly grapefruit-like. When you drink it, the first thing you notice is how clear it is. It's a clear drink 🫥✨ but you get just the right amount of slight rice sweetness and mild acidity, then it shuts off. This is delicious~! The way it disappears in the mouth is both smooth and clean and squeaky clean. Even when the temperature rises, it does not become sweet and the balance is not lost. It becomes a little softer and goes well with a meal. This is the one for summer Japanese food! It was so delicious 🍶.

Since Pichi Pichi Black is not available locally, I bought a pure black based sparkling with secondary fermentation in the bottle 🍾. First of all, it takes a lot of time to open the bottle. After opening and closing the bottle gently several times, I thought, "Okay, I can do it! I twisted the cap and it spurted out a beat later... I spilled a little. I spilled a little. The aroma is sourness and koji. When I take a sip, I can feel the rice spreading softly. I can feel the acidity like koji, grapefruit, and a gradual umami. I start to think that maybe it would taste better with a little less carbonation. I begin to think it might taste better with a little less carbonation. It is also good on the rocks. The next day, I had it again, and it was overwhelmingly better than the day before! A little less fizzy, the malted rice taste is mellowed, and the soda has a well-balanced soft rice flavor and sweetness. The sourness, bitterness, and fizz cut through the dryness. Delicious. I think I like the more fizzy ones better when they are slightly carbonated.

I really wanted to try it at the time, so I went on a bit of a trip and bought it. I bought it on a little trip because I really wanted to drink it at that time. I opened the bottle. The aroma is sweet ripe pineapple 🍍. The aftertaste is refreshing, so it can be drunk quickly. I guess popular sake tastes good. I wondered how it would taste after a long time, but it was totally fine! It's still mellow and pineapple🍍 even after a few days. It has a strong sweetness, so I tried mixing it with carbonated water. It's sweet, refreshing, gorgeous, and shwishy, which is also good 🫧. I saw on SNS that the bubbles help spread the aroma, so 1:1 with carbonated soda is the best ratio for mixing with gorgeous sake. By the way, if you are looking for a matured sake or one with a strong sake flavor, 3:7 sake to 7 soda is good. It's good to mix sake with soda in summer.

I got on a roll during the Bon Festival and opened a lot of bottles, so I'll have to post them before I forget... I opened SEA🌊 on sea day, so this is still the one for mountain day ⛰️! The nose is juicy, sour, grapefruity. When you include it, chili, clear and beautiful acidity and sweetness spreads. What passes through the nose is softly sweet rice. A light, sweet red-built aroma. The final taste is a tasty acidity that makes you feel like you can drink as many cups as you want. I was told that it expresses a magnificent mountain, but I wonder if it has a deeper flavor than SEA. But my memory is not accurate, so I would like to compare them side by side.

I saved last year's too carefully... but it should probably be ok! The nose has sourness, muscat, and a refreshing rice sweetness. When you taste it, you are hit with a grapefruit-like acidity and the soft sweetness of the rice. It is supposed to be sweet, but it breaks off crisply and converges. Delicious! It is full of umami and sweetness like honey apples, but a little more refreshing than other rice wine? I think it is a little tighter than other tasyu. When heated up, the rice apple flavor spreads softly and you can taste the gradual umami. Tasake is always delicious.

When you drink it, it is shuwashuwa, sweet and tasty of rice, and refreshing like grapefruit. It has a koji-like flavor on the back end, but cuts off dry. This is delicious! The sweetness, acidity, and umami with a hint of koji and citrus spread gently and slowly in the foam. I don't feel much bitterness. I think that is one of the reasons why it is easy to drink. The next day, we drank the supernatant. It was still effervescent, and the soft sweetness of the rice gradually spread. A little bitterness appeared at the end.

It's from the liquor store's hanpukai. This troubled face? is a good way to loosen up. The aroma is sour, like grapefruit. When you take a sip, you get a soft chili, a light sweetness, and a citrusy bitterness. There also seems to be a hint of astringency...is this the reluctant element? Overall, it is light, soft, and easy to drink without resistance, and this lightness may be summer sake-like (although I don't think it is summer sake). As the temperature rises, it seems to have a slight sugar-water sweetness. As the day goes by, it becomes a little more dry and refreshing. It's named "reluctant," but rather than accentuating the astringency, I got the impression that it was blended into the overall flavor to create a softer taste. I enjoyed it as a food sake 🍶.

Yamazan's one of a kind The aroma is clean, sweet, citrus, and even rummy. When you include it, you get a chili, forest-like fresh aroma, and a sizzling richness. There is also bitterness. Soon the concentrated acidity and umami pop and spread on the tongue. A refreshing acidity with grapefruit and greenish flavor passes through the nose. Delicious~. It is a fire-brewed version of the one that was on tap, so it may not be positioned as a summer sake, but while it has the Yamazan style, it is quite crisp and refreshing, so it was delicious even on a hot day 🍶. It's also a perfect food sake 👌 However, I feel that it tends to be a bit sour after a while, so I prefer to drink it early!

It is a low-alcohol aged version of Hatsuyuki's summer sake, commercialized so that Hatsuyuki Dayori, the most favorite of the proprietress of Niida, can be drunk in summer as well. The aroma is a delicious one with a predominant sourness. It has a tantalizingly sour aroma, like muscat, apricot, or plum. It also has an amazake-like flavor? When you take a sip, it's like a sizzle! A slight bitterness and sourness on the side of the tongue, and fluffy rice spreads. When mixed, the sweetness of the rice adds more.

I had been curious about the impact of the printed bottle since I saw it before 🍇I bought it when I heard that they had now released a raw version of the origami. The aroma...I may be pulling it away, but it's grape! When you take a sip, you can feel the chile chile micro-foam, and the sweetness of the grapes rushes in. It is not heavy with acidity. Toward the end, the acidity intensifies, and it ends sharply. The transparency of the wine seems to increase day by day. On the other hand, the fizz disappears rather quickly. It has a clear mouthfeel with not much alcohol, and although there is some sweetness from the grapes, it is not too strong. It has a clear aftertaste and is easy to drink. I was expecting a gaseous taste from the orikara flavor, so I tried mixing it with carbonated water, which may not be the way to go. It's not too sweet, and since it's summer time, I can drink it with a clear, refreshing soda, which is also delicious.

Hi Kotaro 😃. The only person who doesn't get pulled by the grape🍇 in this print is a martial artist🥋🧐kudaran😅. In summer, you can enjoy it with soda or pour it over oyster ice 🍧🤗.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙. You're right 🤣If you don't have a spirit as strong as the grape family🥋, you'll get pulled in 🤣. Shaved ice~! What a delicious idea ✨I'll try it next time I have some alcohol that could be used as syrup🎶.

I want to drink something sour because it's hot every day! I was saying "I want to drink something sour because it's so hot every day! I have seen it before, but this is my first time to try it. The aroma is like muscat or pear. It looks juicy and delicious. When you take a sip of it, it's a shwash🫧 pear flavor but not so sweet, with a hint of rice sweetness and a beautiful bitter/acidic taste. It finishes with a dry aftertaste. This is the kind of taste you can gobble up during the hot season, and I was satisfied to be able to enjoy the acidity and dryness! It was delicious as a food wine, paired with a crisp summer meal. But it also has some effervescence, so I think it would go well with a strong meal as well!

The bottle was opened on account of his father's birthday! Dedicated also to the fact that his dog, whom he loved for many years, has crossed the rainbow bridge 🍶. The aroma is sour? When you drink it, it is a chili-swirling, rummy. In the clear mouthfeel, the flavor with soft sweetness spreads and disappears beautifully at the end. The way it disappears is smooth, beautiful, and amazing...! Even after a few days, the balance is still maintained. The chirichiris remain only faintly, and the transparency is as clear as ever. The sweetness of the rice and the freshness of the rice make the end of the flavor disappear with a whimper. The mouthfeel is clear and clean all the way through! As expected of Jyushidai, it is delicious... I want to drink it at home at least once a year!
