Shuwa Shuwa Yama San🫧 The aroma is grapefruit or citrus. When you drink it, you can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice! The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt. It has a dry mouthfeel because of the bubbles, but the soft sweetness of the rice spreads and there is a slight bitterness at the end. I think I should put it down! ...So after a few days, I started to get more of a Yamasan no Mori-like taste and a slow richness than at first. I can feel the layered flavor like a mille crepe...I think. Overall, it was a delicious sparkling that came together refreshingly and was crisp and drinkable while still having a strong umami flavor ✨. It's raining☔ and the trains are adjusting their spacing at every station, so it's not going anywhere...

Hi Kotaro 😃 We wanted to drink this one too 😋 but we couldn't get it 😩. It's definitely a good one, isn't it? If we could drink it, we'd like to let it sit for a day and feel the 🌳 instead of killing it instantly 😌.

CWS🐈 in Hiraizumi I've been wanting to try this series for a while because of how cute the illustration is. I rushed out to buy it when I saw the liquor store's arrival information. The aroma is sweet citrus like 🍊mikan. I expected more acidity, but it was relatively mild. When you take a sip, it's smooth and clear on the palate ✨It goes down your throat smoothly and cleanly, ending with a tasty sourness and bitterness. There is a tangerine and sugared grapefruit feeling throughout. Overall, it's a mild and refreshing sweet and sour like honey lemon, a dangerous one to gobble up 🍹. I'd like to compare it with Sour Boy and Sour Girl!

It is from a liquor store's hanpukai. The aroma is of gorgeous white grapes. When you drink it, the fruity taste of white grapes and refreshing acidity spreads. I had imagined it to be sweet based on the image of Hououmida that I have received, but it is more refreshing than I expected. After a little time, a bit of bitterness may appear. The aroma is sweet. I thought I would like the fruity-sukkiri taste at first... But as time goes by, the fruity sweetness and flavor of the rice is present, but the taste is clear and crisp, and it is easy to drink! It is easy to drink. Mixing multiple tanks to sublimate the flavor is once again an amazing technique 👀.

I felt that the Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki🧡 I had previously had did not have the Yamasan feel to it, so I thought I would pass on this one. However, I saw a post on Sake-no-wa that said it looked delicious, so I went out and got it! The aroma is rummy and citrus? When you include it, it is sizzlingly rummy, rice sweet and full of fruity richness! The forest-like feeling that I often get from Yamazan(?) I think it's a bit thin. 🤔Refreshing as always✨ It's not about which flavor, but the overall taste. I don't think it's a matter of which flavor, but rather the image of the whole being condensed. I felt this at the time of Aizan too. I appreciate the balance of sweet and tasty without being heavy. I enjoyed it both during the meal and on its own.

The one I ended up buying before I thought about the refrigerator situation 🌝. The aroma is soft and sweet rice. When you take a sip, it's still fluffy and sweet with a hint of chili. I don't know, maybe it's because it doesn't have a complex aroma in a good way, or maybe it's because it has sweetness, but it goes in smoothly and honestly. The aftertaste is clean and crisp! It is crisp and clear. I feel it is the crispest among the other Nabeshima I have tasted so far. Maybe it's because it's aluzo-sweetened? It has the freshness that is typical of Nabeshima and the sweetness of rice, but it finishes so crisp and clean that you can't help but drink more. It is light on the palate, but also very drinkable. It seems to be easy to pair with any meal, and is delicious on its own. As expected from Nabe-sama✨.

The one that had a pure white label last year was delicious, so I'll have it again this year. The addition of the light blue fudori on the Āmodori letters made it more refreshing✨. I don't have a picture of it, but the stopper was also clear plastic-like, giving it a more summery look. The aroma is citrusy, sour, and rice. On the palate, it's as schwishy and squeaky sour as you'd expect! The bitterness comes to the side of the tongue, which is more sour. The fluffy rice sweetness and sourness are in good balance, and combined with the effervescence, it tightens to a refreshing dryness. This is a good summer sake 🎐. I think it is more sour and tasty than last year! ...but maybe I just don't remember! I'm sure I'm not the only one 😝.

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.

Good evening, Kotaro-san! It's a quintessential style to open a bottle of SEA on the day of the sea and MOUNTAIN on the day of the mountain 🎵. And Akabu-san's MICHANKO looks delicious 🤤. Enjoying sake on the day of the fat is also a good way to enjoy sake 🤗.

Good evening, ma-ki. I can't resist picking up a bottle of seasonal sake 😆 Akabusan was delicious as always 🎵. Many of the brands are associated with their hometowns in terms of name and history, so it's fun to match them 🥳.

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.

PB Sharaku🫧 at the liquor store. I held it down so it didn't fly away, but pon! and opened the bottle vigorously. The aroma is sour and rummy. 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. When I stirred it, it was a mildly creamy shwash! It looked delicious just by its appearance, but it was still delicious. I would like to try other PB nigoris when the timing is right.
