The nose is sweet yogurt. A bit of a sizzle when you take a sip, grape-like apple sweetness and sourness, mellow yogurt, with a lingering sourness. At the end, it disappears with a beautiful sizzle.... The grace of the retreat is amazing. Because it doesn't leave any sweetness behind, it is more refreshing and easier to drink than the aroma suggests. After opening the bottle, the bitterness and acidity increase a little, but it still finishes with a nice crispness. I can't explain it well, but the yogurt aroma is still there. After a few days, the yogurtiness is less pronounced than expected. The aroma changes from sweet peach yogurt to plain yogurt. The impression is that it is quite sour. If you let it sit for a little while, the sweetness will be removed from the aroma, and it may be easier to drink for me personally. It is a lactic acid bacteria-based sweet and tasty drink with a clean aftertaste, so it goes well with cheese and is delicious.

I was looking forward to drinking my first Hato Masamune after reading your delicious review. I opened and closed the bottle several times... and after the lees started to boil, I finally opened the bottle. The aroma is crisp and fruity, like apple or pear. When you drink it, you can taste pear and apple. The soft sweetness of the rice and a slight bitterness make me excited, thinking that this is my favorite flavor. The sake was carbonated, but it had a strong flavor and was a perfect match for the garlic-roasted meat. The next day, I drank the top clear saké that I couldn't drink yesterday. The aroma was of pears and a little alcohol. When I took a sip of it, I could feel the sizzle, and there was a soft sweet aroma that passed through my nose. This aroma was certainly similar to that of the Gin-Karaboshi rice wine I drank the other day. When mixed, the aroma becomes more apple-like, and the taste is more umami and smooth, but also more refreshing. At the end, a bitterness comes in gradually, but more moderately than on the first day. The overall taste is mellow and delicious. I thought that summer sake tends to be more citrusy and sour, but this one was not too sweet or sour and had a balance of flavors that I liked.

Finally, a green abbey, which you all have been pushing very hard for. The moment the guard is removed, poof! and the cork blows out. The aroma is sour, rummy, and a bit alcoholic. When you take a sip, it's like a sip, sizzle, sizzle. A little (not in a bad way) chemical-like? The aroma goes into the nose, and then the rice comes in. Stable and tasty. The second day is also delicious. The "shwat-pon" is alive and well! is still there. Overall, the aroma feels mellow. When you drink it, the fresh aroma goes right through you. The soft umami and sweetness that spreads in the mouth is quickly taken away by the effervescence and freshness. I enjoyed it with a meal.

Yamae Nishiki was purchased out of curiosity. The aroma is slightly sour and fruity. When you drink it, it has a slight sweetness, but it disappears with a sip. It disappears with a sigh. It is a smooth, refreshing, soft sake with a modest aftertaste. As the temperature rises a little, the sweetness and umami gently increase while maintaining the softness, making it delicious. It remains stable the next day and beyond. As the label says, the aroma itself is not strong at all, but it is certainly gorgeous, fruity, and softly pleasantly sweet. When drinking it, the taste is indeed sweet, but with smart sweetness, umami, and acidity. It is not a sharp taste. There is no pinpoint emphasis on any flavor or spikiness, but rather a softness. It is classic and quiet. The taste is well behaved, clean, and transparent. It is refreshing, but not too sharp, and its assertiveness in processing is moderate, making it a perfect match for light meals.

The nose is sour, crisp and fruity. When you take a sip, it is smooth and sweet with a soft acidity. It is completely sweet and has a richness like cotton candy. However, it goes down smoothly and disappears after swallowing. After the next day, the overall impression is that it becomes mellower, but with a little more sharpness, making it easier to drink. The sweetness and the umami of the rice can be felt well, and although it is strong, it is easy to drink. It is a good balance with strong-flavored snacks. I bought this sake at a supermarket in Utsunomiya City, but there were many other local brands to choose from. It is good to find local sake at a liquor store, but supermarkets are also good.

After all this time, I opened a bottle of Snoclet Yamadanishiki. The aroma is sour carbonated fruity. When you drink it, it is shwashy, with a mild umami, citrus-like acidity, bitterness, and rice. This is a delicious rice soda. When mixed, the rice flavor increases and becomes mellow and mild. After that, it disappears with a moderate bitterness and acidity. The next day, when I tried to drink the rest of the bottle, the lid was missing... I have seen this happen before with some other sakes, but this time it had fallen off again, this time near the cellar. A very energetic sake. When I drank it, the schwarziness was indeed reduced. The sweetness of the rice and the wood? Aroma of grassland? like aroma...I did not notice this aroma on the first day. Perhaps the carbonation has weakened and the flavor has become more discernible. The taste is delicious. It disappears with a slight bitterness at the end. If I have a chance, I would like to try another sake made from different rice.

I went to a liquor store for the first time for another brand, and they had a blind tasting of some of the other good bottles they had in stock. I thought I didn't like tropical drinks that much, but I didn't feel it was tropical at all at the store...but I thought if I kept it too long, it might taste different from the store's, so I skipped the other drinks and opened the bottle. The aroma is pineapple with some coconut? It certainly tastes tropical. The top clear liquid is pineapple. I am not sure what my tongue was thinking when I tasted it, but it is good because it tastes so good. The sweetness and umami come softly, and finish with a slight bitterness. When mixed, the rice flavor increases and the pineapple flavor settles down. The sweetness is gradually absorbed. It is not sticky because it disappears rather quickly at the end. It's not too sticky, but this is closer to the tasting. It is low in alcohol content, but satisfying and tastes great with a sweet, sour, and refreshing taste. After the next day, the fizz decreases. The aroma is pineapple, but when you drink it, it is not so much. After all, when mixed, it becomes more like rice. Juicy, softly sweet and umami, with a little bitterness at the end and a tropical aftertaste. I tried it with green curry for the reason that it has a tropical flavor, and it was delicious.

The aroma is sour and a bit yogurt-like. When the supernatant is first included, it is sour! and a delicious, bitter taste. No chili. When mixed, the sourness mellows a bit. Not so much sweetness. After the rice flavor, there is a slight bitterness at the end. But the overall taste is quite sour...like lemon yogurt. I don't get the impression from other reviews that there is that much sourness...hmmm, I don't dislike this one, but I think I may have stored it wrong...or maybe I left it too long? The taste doesn't change much over the next day. The rice and acidity make it disappear with a swoon at the end. I enjoyed it as an acidity-driven sake, but next time I will drink it as soon as I buy it.

Father's Day was coming up this weekend, so I opened it to drink with my father. The aroma is sour and slightly fruity, with a hint of rummy. When you taste it, it is sweet and sour. The sourness may be derived from the acidity, but there is also a slight chili sensation on the tongue. Then the umami, the rice, and the crispness. It is delicious. The next day and after, the impression remains largely the same. The aroma is softly sweet and refreshing, and the rummy flavor is still there. It also has a slightly forest-like atmosphere. When you drink it, you can still taste the sweetness and a bit of bitterness, with a slight rummy flavor. The acidity is mellow. Although the sweetness is felt to some extent, it is not at all unpleasant, and there is a smooth and refreshing feeling, and it is delicious with a gradual flavor. When drunk with a mild snack, the umami and richness are emphasized in a rounded way, and it goes very well with it.

It was hot and I wanted to enjoy a big glass of low alcohol... so I opened a bottle of this one. The bottle opened with a pop! It opened with a bang. The aroma was clear and sour, with a hint of lactobacillus... I wondered if this was the origin of the Bodhi yeast. When you drink it, it is as you expect, with a nice sourness, grapefruit-like acidity, and a sharp finish! It has a nice sharpness at the end. I appreciate this kind of low-alcohol beer in the humid summer season. I don't get drunk, so I drink more and more... but I want to see how the taste changes, so I hold back and stop halfway through. After the next day, the fizziness subsides, but the sweetness and umami become mellower and more intense. The citrus + lactobacillus-like acidity and a slight bitterness make it drinkable all the way to the end. It is a delicious saké on a hot and humid day.

Should I drink it right away? Should I give it time? I don't know when to drink it... Then I saw Wakata-san making ajillo, and I wanted to make it right away, and I thought it would go well with it! And I opened the bottle. The aroma is sour...quite sour. Is it quite sour? I thought... When you drink it, you can taste a little bit of chili, less sourness than the aroma, and some sweetness. The flavor comes slowly, and then the sourness quickly fades away. The aftertaste is clean without leaving a strange aftertaste and makes you want to drink the next one. Although it has an alcoholic taste, it is easy to drink and tastes great. If you say it is wine-like, it is wine-like. It was a delicious sake that did not lose its balance after the next day, and could be drunk without any resistance due to the acidity softly wrapped in the modest sweetness of the rice and the crispness at the end of the drink. Of course, it also went perfectly with ahi joggies 🫛.

I wandered around a liquor store and was intrigued by the simple label with gold letters on a black background (and at first glance, unreadable). The aroma is slightly alcoholic and pineapple-like. It also has a koji-like aroma? When you drink it, it has a nice, crispy taste, and the sweetness and richness come in a big burst, but before it gets too sweet, it turns into umami, and then it finishes with a sour taste. It is sweet and umami, but also has a good acidity and sharpness, which makes you keep going for the next one.... As the label on the back of the bottle says, it is easy to pair with any meal, and I enjoyed it.

At the sake shop hanpukai. The sake rice is Yumeko, grown by the brewer's best friend since kindergarten. While there have been frequent problems with rice melting in many areas, this rice field is located at an altitude of 700 to 800 meters above sea level and has a good temperature difference, so the quality of the rice is fine. The aroma is sour and alcoholic and fruity. When you drink it, it has a raw pichiswa, and while the umami and sweetness come slowly, there is a bit of bitterness. Deep sweetness and astringency like grapes pass through to the nose, which is then tightened by the full-bodied flavor. There is a lingering acidity. Even after the bottle is opened, it does not become too sweet. It is not too sweet. When you think it might be sweet, it quickly pulls away just before becoming sweet, and then it disappears. The sweetness and flavor of the rice is gradually absorbed. This is a guy who can do it. The sake was designed to be sweet, but it was well balanced, not going all the way to the end and finishing nicely.

I was saving it carefully and then the 3rd one came out. I wanted to compare them, but I couldn't wait until winter, so I opened the bottle. The aroma was sour grapefruit. The first thing I noticed was the top clear liquid, which was a bit of rice. This is the taste of Sentori's shuwashuwa! Delicious rice soda. When mixed, the aroma is a fluffy sweetness of rice. As you drink it, the sweetness and umami increase, and while the liquid is in your mouth, along with the rice flavor, there is also a citrus acidity and bitterness, with a grapefruitiness to it. When swallowed, the sweetness of the rice passes through the nose, and the lingering umami flavor comes through slowly and finishes crisply without lingering too long. After the next day, it has a bit of apple flavor, but it is not fruity, just the umami of the rice. The bitterness may not be felt that much. There is sourness, a little bitterness, and the sweetness of the rice. It reminds me of 0.0 Dobrok, but I guess it would be different if I compared them. The taste was exactly what I expected.

We will take a look at the first appearance. The aroma is slightly pineapple fruity. When you drink it, it is a little chili, pineapple flavor sweetness, umami, and bitterness. It has a nice sharpness thanks to the lingering acidity. It was a bit sweet at first, perhaps because I was drinking it with Wajima Monogatari, which I posted one day ago, but it was not sticky, so I was able to enjoy it with my meal easily. As the day goes on, the pineapple might be less noticeable, surprisingly. Although it was a little sweet, I had the impression that it was sharp and relatively refreshing. I think it is nice that the sake has various "◯◯Sugata" names according to the season. The summer sake "yukata sugata" gives me a nostalgic feeling and makes me want to drink it.

It is still fresh in my mind that the other day, when the emergency earthquake alert went off at dawn, my heart ached for the Noto region...again. We will have it with gratitude that multiple breweries have connected their thoughts and have brought us here now. The aroma is clear, acidic, and rice. When you drink it, it is mild and fruity, with a hint of pear, nutty aroma, sweetness of rice, and umami. You can taste the grapefruit-like acidity and the umami of the rice. When swallowed, it disappears like water. There is a slight bitterness at the end. Even though it is dry, it has a gentle umami flavor and is delicious. It is hot, but we tried heating it up. When it is lukewarm, the aroma is of rice with a hint of sourness. When it is served warm, it has a soft sweetness of rice, a sourness and a bit of bitterness, and then it finishes with a sharp kick. When it is hot, the aroma is of rice, but it is also sweet and chestnut-like. It has a strong umami and sweetness of rice, and a slight bitterness at the end. It is also delicious warmed. There is not much I can do, but I will never stop thinking about what I can do. I wish for the return of normalcy as soon as possible..!

When I heard about Yamazan's summer sake, I immediately went to buy it. I was told that it is a 50% blend of Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi sake, each brewed with a different type of sake. It was already confirmed to be delicious. The aroma was slightly sour, with a little alcohol? It also has a fruity flavor. When you drink it, it is a bit chili, sour, sweet, and umami. The sweetness and richness come in a subdued way, and then dissolve with a fresh aroma like that of a forest. After the next day, the chirichiri-ness gradually subsides, but it remains stable. I sipped it while thinking, "Ah, this is the aroma of Yamazan - I love it..." I thought it was sweet, but it was not. It is not too sweet, but not too sweet, not too much of umami, but not too blurred either. It is light but not too light, yet fresh and refreshing. It is fresh and refreshing, with a slight astringency accentuated by a crisp and refreshing taste. It has a perfect sense of transparency, and gives the impression of a forest that seems to emit negative ions. Even though it is a summer sake, it is a highly satisfying sake with a strong flavor. And at only 1,500 yen, it is a perfect match for your wallet.

Good morning Kotaro 😃 So you can go to buy Yamasan 😳⁉️ I'm jealous 🤣I haven't heard of any stores around me that sell it, so I guess I'll just have to buy it when I go on an expedition somewhere 🙄.

The aroma is sweet and sour, with a bit of cream cheese-like milky lactic acidity. When you take a sip, it is chili-chili-shuwa, with a Yakult-like acidity and a rich sweetness that spreads. There is also a slight bitterness. There is a bit of bitterness, and the next day it is still there. It is creamy, moist, and sweet, with a lactic acid drink type acidity that spreads slowly but is still sharp. I imagined it would have a clean taste, but it has a pretty strong flavor. Maybe I left it too long? As the day goes by, the chili flavor settles down, and it becomes a mildly sweet flavor with a bit of sourness. It was good, but a little sweet for my taste. I tried a mango salad paired with a sour fruity sake recommended by another sake brewer, and it was delicious and refreshing. (Thaw frozen mangoes, toss with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little Parmigiano-Reggiano) The 3rd-4th pictures are Kangiku's Sakekasu Smoothie Ale that I had before. It is a sweet and refreshing tropical with mandarin oranges + pineapple, but it also has a crisp, dry bitterness that makes it refreshing and tasty without being too sweet. There are many flavors available, so I would like to buy another one if I see one I like.

Summer has already come and gone in terms of Omine, but I will drink. The aroma is muscat. The first thing you notice is the sweetness of the grapes. The lingering taste is full-bodied and acidic, which makes you want to drink the next saké. When mixed, there is a slight bitterness? The next day and after that, the schwash is still there. The bitterness comes at the end. I guess it is grape. As the day goes by, the fizziness disappears and the rice flavor increases a little. After the grape taste, the sweetness of the rice lingers in the mouth. I thought it might become sweeter as the fizz disappears, but the freshly opened one has a deeper sweetness, and the latter half of the bottle went in the direction of a crisp and clean aftertaste. I enjoyed it on its own and during dinner.

At the sake shop, my eyes met with this smiling face. I didn't hesitate to buy it because of the parade of power words. The aroma was slightly sour and fruity. When you sip it, you can feel its freshness and sweetness. It has a deep sweetness and richness like grapes, but at the same time it has a freshness like apples. Sweet but not too sweet, it is easy to pair with food. After the next day, the aroma is a bit like that of Nara pickles. There is a slight alcohol taste. When you drink it, you can taste the soft sweetness and the bitterness in the aftertaste. It is easy to drink with strong-flavored snacks. As is typical of Shinshu sake, it has a strong flavor and umami, but it also has a nice sharpness, making it a delicious drink.
