This is the first Abe sake brewery, asking the store owner about it. It seems they don't have much Abe in our town. I get excited! I asked him if I had to drink it all at once since it is effervescent...? He replied, "Of course not! Even if you open it once, keep it in the refrigerator and drink it several times. The taste will change many times," he explained politely. In fact, today was the second time I drank it. The first time I drank it, I thought, "What? It was too sour! And it tasted quite dry and too rugged. The aroma is bananas, but there is almost no sake flavor. I honestly thought it was not to my liking. The first time I drank it, it was much less acidic, but the bubbles remained, and the dryness of the first time was replaced by a dryness with a touch of astringency! I can't believe how much it has changed!

The first sip has a, ah, sweet? but right after that, there is a slight bitterness on the tongue. It is slightly effervescent and slightly tangy. While it has the sake-like feel of a pure sake, it has a clean aftertaste, so you can drink it as much as you want if it is cooled down to the perfect temperature! The aroma is slightly pineapple.

I thought it was soft and sweet, but then I felt a bitter taste at the back of my tongue. But then I felt a bitter taste at the back of my tongue. But it only lasted for a moment. There is also a hint of sourness. Overall, it is a gentle sake. I think the sweetness increases when paired with Chinese food. Delicious! It's a very smooth and refreshing drink.

The yellow color of Sanzen Sakura! First sip, hmm? Is it sweet? No, is it dry? Well, the bitterness follows quite quickly, and it is difficult to judge the mouthfeel. The acidity is slight. I still like it! It seems to go well with tomato-based dishes.

My husband probably bought it at the supermarket? For a moment, I thought it might be dry, but it passed quickly and easily without lingering on the throat or tongue. There is almost no aftertaste, so you can enjoy this sake very easily. I would drink it in a heartbeat. The flavor impression is light. There is no acidity, but it is very easy to drink!

I have heard that there are bargains to be had in the J Fat A area. I would like to look for them when I go back home for the Bon Festival this year. (My wife is from Akita).

Thank you for your comment! I'm sure there are many sake breweries in Akita, and I'm sure there are many delicious things to taste ♥ I'm looking forward to going back home! I heard that there are many other kinds of Takashimizu as well, so I would love to hear your thoughts on them when you find them!

I was looking forward to eating the chilled turtle-ling. I decided to have it after dinner. The first bite, oh, it's sweet! And then Dark! It is thick! Sake is strong! It has a very strong sake taste! This looks like it will make you drunk! The aroma is sour. Drink slowly and the bitterness will slowly seep in. It is suitable for after dinner. This is perfect for when you want to get drunk slowly! This is a sake to be enjoyed after a meal rather than with food. It is a very rare type of sake, and you may get addicted to it... ♥

I had enjoyed the yellow label of Sanzen Sakura before, so I got the yellow-green label this time! It is still delicious! I like Sanzen Sakura so much. I decided to buy the other ones too!

I went to the "Northern Sake Festival" and tasted a lot of sake! One of the most memorable was "Umi Fudo" (sea wind soil). The label was cute and I wanted to try it. It was quite sour and lemon-like. My friend who went with me was also surprised. I like it ♥ I want to repeat this one because of its refreshing summery sourness! It was a fun and tasty drink!

Ohhhhhh! This is the kind of drink that makes you extremely drunk! It's sweet, but you can feel the strength of the alcohol...I can't believe it's 17%...I'm on a drunken course. The sweetness is also very strong. It is a stronger version of amazake. I don't dare to drink it all by myself... I think people who like it will like it! I think nigori is a bit difficult to drink for me, because of its unique strength...

The forest of wind that I had always dreamed of. Amazingly refreshing. What is sake? It has no peculiarities that make you think, "What is sake? It was as light as soda water. I drank it all up at an astonishingly fast pace. It was delicious! It has no punch, but the taste is too perfect to drink as an aperitif among women. It's like nothing else, yet everyone will find it easy to drink.

This might be the best sparkling wine I've ever had. I'm not used to dry wine, so I chose this one on a dare, but it's so good! I was worried that I might not be able to enjoy it as much with a full stomach, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was so delicious. It's refreshing, dry, and easy to drink. It was so good that it broke down the notion that "I might not be able to drink dry wine...". I was so impressed. Will I be a repeat customer?

Dear Jay & Nobby, Thank you as always! We were shocked by the freshness of the bottle as well as the balanced dryness of the wine... Sparkling may be the only way to go dry. We hope you will try it!

I went to look at it during my lunch break at work and found it for sale! I bought it without hesitation! This is my first "Snow Kayasya". It seems to be quite rare, and the name raises expectations! When I drank it, it was also insanely delicious and hard to describe. It has a sweet mouthfeel, no acidity, but you feel a momentary hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is clean. A bitterness that is not bitterness to call it bitter. It's hard to say...is this what it means to have "the curd removed"? After drinking, a slight sweetness remains on the tongue. Fruity, chasing afterwards. This is a sake to be drunk slowly by itself rather than with food. It is definitely best served cold! By the way, if you put a cup of barley tea in between, for some reason, the taste went up even more (laugh).

It is a gift for me! I don't often buy brewed sake because I'm not a fan of it, but since I'm here, I want to enjoy it! When I drank it at room temperature, I thought, "Wow! It still has a strong brewer's sake-like taste. But when I drink it cold, it's a wonder! But when I drank it cold, I was surprised! It is smooth and sweet. It's delicious! The moisiness has been softened and the sake has a rich aroma. I dare say I'll enjoy it hot. The label and name are super cool! I love it!

I opened the bottle of my favorite Sentori. I bought this Sentori Beetle immediately after it was recommended to me and have been trying to find the right time to drink it for a month. It has a strong acidity and is really refreshing! It is slightly carbonated and has a great throat feel! The sweetness is refreshing and the aftertaste is crisp. It has a hint of sake, but it is light. There is a slight bitterness at the end. I think, "I really like this sake. I love every Sengoku I drink. I recommend it to sake beginners.

It's sparkling, it's raw, and I have to finish it as soon as I open it, so I thought, what am I going to do... but tomorrow is my day off, so I decided to open it! From the first sip, "Ummmah! The first sip was "oooooooooh! It's sweet but quite refreshing! It's sparkling, so the carbonation is strong. It's a dangerous drink in a sense that I'm going to drink it in the hot summer...! Personally, I like this sparkling one better than the regular Kid. It's so easy to drink. I'll be a repeat customer!

My initial impression is that it is slightly carbonated and sweet. But it feels kind of strong! I took a closer look and saw that it is over 16 degrees. Is that why it felt strong? Actually, when I opened it on the first day, it was so strong that I could only drink a little, so I left it for a week and drank it! Umai! The aroma is a little fermented, like amazake. This is the first time I've had orikara. It's just right! I'm going to get addicted to it!

He bought it for me as a souvenir from Nagoya! What a beautiful bottle... ♥ First of all, I took it before dinner. It's kind of a strange sake. The aroma is like soda. It is not dry, but not sweet either. It is light, but there is a bitter taste. It is like a complex mixture of various tastes in one sip. This is another sake that I have never experienced before. And when I drank it with sushi...it was surprisingly delicious! Eh! A big change to a refreshing sweet taste? What is this? Amazing! I said out loud. The flavor changes completely depending on what you pair it with. I thought this is definitely a food sake.

My son bought it for me as a souvenir from Sendai! My son is indeed my son in choosing sake as a souvenir! The first sip is dry with a strong sake taste. The aftertaste is bitter, but refreshing! The flavor is not strong, and you can't help but sip it. The aroma is not so strong, but the moment you put it in your mouth, the sake feeling is strong. It is unstoppable and delicious!

Kid I was looking forward to! The aroma is pineapple. The aroma is pineapple, but when I drank it, I thought, hmmm? I think it is more sweet than dry, rather than sweet in one word. There is a bitterness, a slight sourness, and an impression that it contains a variety of elements. There is also a strong aftertaste of sake. It's not so much refreshing as it is robust. It is a sake that you can drink slowly, sip by sip, savoring each sip.

It is a regular Kikusui. I always get it, so I guess Kikusui is the sake I drink the most in my life... It is quite dry. It has a strong sake taste! The sake feeling lingers after drinking it, rather than the lightness of the aroma. I really want to drink it cold, but I can't fit a bottle in my refrigerator. I wonder how people keep sake bottles chilled...?

Good evening, Rururin-san! There are not many refrigerators that can hold one bottle. It is common to store small portions in No. 4 bottles.

One more thing to add: it is recommended to store them standing up in the storage room. If you store it lying down, the surface in contact with the air will increase and you may worry about deterioration. Be careful not to drink too much sake and enjoy your sake life 😊!

Shota-sama Heehee! I didn't know that! I had to store most of them lying down because of lack of space! I heard very good things! Thank you so much ♥ More fun to look forward to ♥
