草津純米大吟醸生酒

あいどらー
My father gave me a bottle as a travel souvenir. It is locally brewed sake sold at a sake store near Yubatake in Kusatsu Onsen. He said he bought it because he had tried it and liked it, and it certainly tasted like the good old-fashioned sake that my father would have liked. It was a delicious sake that went down well without tiring.

I unearthed a bottle that I forgot to drink and had left lying at the bottom of the fridge (I did it...). The label is playful every year, and while last year's Tiger was good, this year's label is also quite to my liking. The taste is quite different from the regular Tazake, and is more modern, so those who like Tazake may be disappointed.

This is the only Hana-yosu I purchased this winter. Many of the other reviews I read were not so positive about it, and it certainly didn't seem to have the same Hanayo Kurosawa flavor as the other brands. It is certainly a delicious sake with a pleasant taste, but the price tag is high, so if I see it again next year, I'm not sure if I would buy it...

Purchased for hot sake. Since I have been drinking only light sake recently, I felt a strong sense of umami and acidity, and it was very satisfying to drink. It is a little out of my taste, but it is the kind of sake I would like to drink once in a while.

Purchased this for my grandmother's US jubilee celebration. I had never had a bottle of Eiko-Fuji, although I was interested in it, but I had no idea that this would be the first one... It is a visually pleasing sake with a lot of gold leaves dancing in the air. The taste is sweet and has no peculiarities, and it seems to be popular with everyone. It's not a good value, so if you are looking for a simply delicious sake, you should look elsewhere, but it was perfect for a festive occasion in terms of both glamour and drinkability.

あいどらー
This is my second bottle of Akabu, and my impression is that it is an alcohol-added yet easy-to-drink sake. It took quite a long time from opening the bottle to finishing it, but I did not feel that the taste dropped significantly during that time, so it may be enjoyable even for those who do not drink it very often.

Doburoku is a doburoku that is shipped only during the winter season every year. It is a sweet sake with a low alcohol content and a lot of rice grains left in it, so it feels more like eating than drinking! It is better to enjoy it as a dessert than as a drink.

I liked it when I had it at a restaurant serving Aomori's local cuisine, so I bought it again. I would like to try this brand from time to time in the future because it is easy to obtain.

It's been a while since the weather has cooled down and I've been able to reach for sake. I was drinking it in small sips, but the sweetness changed to become stronger as the day went by. If you don't like it, you might want to finish it as soon as you open the bottle.

Thanks to a local distributor, this brand is relatively easy to find. Immediately after opening the bottle, the aroma is sweet and characteristic of Huayouyashikuni. After a few days, the sweetness becomes stronger, but I personally prefer the taste of this area.

I had drunk this brand once before, 5 or 6 years ago, and it had been a long time since I bought it... It was different from my memory, and was very sweet. Is this a sweet sake? Is it possible that even sake that has been fire-brewed once has a sweet taste? I'm sure there was no storage problem, but it was made a while ago last November, so it must have deteriorated... But, well, I have never experienced amadare before, so I will consider it as a learning experience. When I buy liquor, I should pay attention to the date of manufacture! (1 loss

A brand of sake that may or may not be related to a certain anime that has recently been released in theaters. It is fruity and sweet with a refreshing aftertaste. It may have been unsold or was made some time ago. The taste may have changed a little...

I happened to come across it along with a bottle of Tokusyu Junmai, so I decided to buy it because it was a good opportunity. I knew the name of this brand, but I had heard some bad reviews about it. This was the first time I had tasted it, and it was, as a matter of course, a delicious sake. I would like to try the special junmai next time.

A limited edition of Tasake that comes out around the beginning of each year. The amount of nigori is just enough to accumulate at the bottom, and the mixture is slightly clear. Second favorite bottle of Tazake after the standard "Tokujun

Kantou no Hana (Flower of Kanto?) Dessert Junmai Daiginjo A low-alcohol, super-sweet sake with an alcohol content of 5% and a sake content of -102. There is no indication on the label that it is a noble sake, and it seems to be a Junmai Daiginjo. It has a strong sweetness with an apple-like sourness that is delicious. It's good to drink after dinner.
