Yamazan's Spring Sake which was so delicious last year 🌸 The aroma is citrusy and sour? The rest is a little bit of rummy. When you drink it, it has a light nigori taste. After a slight bitterness, the umami with sourness comes in. Although there is a gentle sweetness of rice, it does not sink deep into the mouth and is light, so it is easy to drink without hesitation! As one would expect from Yamazan, it does not disappoint. ...But I think I was more impressed last year...or maybe I just got used to it? There is no doubt that this year's is also delicious. A few days later, I popped another bottle! and opened the bottle, still going strong. It has a sweetness like a grapefruit, like a citrus fruit cooked down with a strong acidity, a light but firm umami, and a hint of full-bodied bitterness at the end. Overall, there is a fresh breeze blowing through. The taste is the same as ever. More days pass and the chili is gone. It is citrusy. The base is fresh, yet sweet and delicious. It has a rich tangerine-like flavor and a nice sharpness. Toward the end, there is some pineapple. I wonder if it is this much pineapple...? People's memories are hazy, but anyway, it was delicious again this year.

I was disappointed that I couldn't buy it when it was on sale at the end of the year, but at the beginning of the new year, the liquor store said they were going to release some that they had saved for the new year...I had to go! I had to go there and buy it! I had to go there and buy it. The aroma was pineapple? Rumney? The aroma is a refreshingly sweet and delicious pineapple? When you take a sip of it, you will feel the sweetness and deliciousness of pineapple, and the sourness will make you feel the bitterness spreading. It is delicious. After a few days, it becomes more and more moist and robust (but not too much so). The pineapple flavor is full-bodied, and it doesn't glide across the tongue, but lands firmly on it. The overall taste is light, but the flavor permeates the taste buds. The last taste is clean and refreshing with a touch of bitterness. The satisfaction of the first sip is balanced with a feeling of wanting to continue drinking! I couldn't help but groan at this sake.

I opened this bottle, which I have put aside for a year, on the occasion of Valentine's Day. As I write this, White Day has passed.... The aroma is a hint of honey apple. The full-bodied aroma is a bit like that of kijoshu, isn't it? When you drink it, you first taste sweet apple and umami, and then the acidity finishes it off nicely. The aftertaste is clean and crisp, with a slight alcohol taste that is a bit sharp. Although it has a clean aftertaste, the sweetness is still strong, so it may be acceptable to have a slight kick. However, when chilled, the alcohol feeling decreases and the smoothness increases. This is also good. It is sweeter than other kijo-zake I have had, but it has a nice sharpness that makes it easy to drink. It has a lot of umami, which is typical of tazake, and is just right for dessert. This time of year is kind of a flurry of activity... I'm trying to get the sake I've accumulated up. 😵‍💫

Opening the bottle is quiet. I thought it would blow more, but I guess that's just the way it is with an empty plug. The nose has a hint of koji, sourness, and rum. When the supernatant is included, there is a mild but active chili shuwa. There is also some rummy, and a refreshing and deep grape flavor. Then the acidity closer to the fruit comes slowly, and it seems to tighten up, but then it dissolves and disappears. When mixed, the sweet and sour flavors are concentrated in a well-balanced manner. The mouthfeel is silky and smooth with fine lees, and although it is not intense, the finish is moderately dry and quite refreshing. As the day goes by, the wine becomes more cohesive, but the chili and juicy acidity is still there when you taste it. The sourness is always the first to go, followed by the umami, and then the apple flavor gently melts away. It is common for the acidity to tighten up, but this opposite feeling may be surprisingly rare among the others I have tasted. The taste, which is gentle but with a gentle, rapid change of pace, is perfectly suited to the illustration of the Emperor Juntoku playing a flute in a quiet snowfield.

Harukoi is my favorite of the many peach-colored nigori that come out in spring sake. The pink color is darker than last year and looks lovely. When the bottle is opened, it rises sizzlingly, although it is not vigorous until it starts to blow out. The aroma is slightly sweet and sour. I wonder if it is strawberry after all...or is it being pulled? When I take it in my mouth, it feels like a shaken, shwishey and smooth 🫧I enjoy the semi-solid texture while feeling the sweet and sour flavor, and then it's sweet! I swallow it before I even think "sweet! The fizzy sensation also helps to finish it off with a surprisingly refreshing taste. I drink more and more before thinking about what to think...it's delicious. Sweet and sour, but still rice. It's like a smoothie, but without the mushiness. Strawberry Daifuku smoothie? It's not so subtle when I write it down, but the taste of the sweetness of the bean paste and the sourness of the strawberries might be similar somehow. I made a caprese with strawberries, burrata cheese, and prosciutto ham, and it was perfect as always 🍓. I think it is a drink that everyone can enjoy, even those who are not good at sweet drinks but can enjoy sweet food.

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.

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!

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.

Good morning, Kotaro 😃. I've only had hiji💪rhythm🎶 once, but it was somewhat lackluster at the time 😅I might want to try a fresh schwa type!

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙 I don't have many, but I think they vary quite a bit from type to type 🤔This one might not be enough 💦The mother liquor type is low alcohol but quite impactful, so by all means 😋May be sweet for you, J&N 😝.

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!

Good evening Kotaro-san 🍶. I think there are about 2 of us who guessed Mr. Kikki lol. The sake looks delicious and the fire-aged sake looks calm and delicious. I haven't drank it yet, but I asked chika to order the raw sake for me 😊I'm looking forward to it 🍶.
