Soft mouthfeel
Mild umami, with a slight bitterness
Light and easy to drink
The impression is that it is lighter than Kubota.
Personally, I prefer Kubota
Pork belly wrapped with enoki mushrooms as a snack
Nuances of pear and lychee 🍐.
Refreshingly sweet with a spiciness that comes later.
The light gasiness is perfect for this time of year.
I thought it might be an aperitif, but I think it could also be a food wine.
The snack was simmered thick fried bean curd and nameko mushrooms.
Tsururei's standard sake
Simple, with no peculiarities, but the umami of rice can be felt well.
It is a classic light and dry sake that goes well with any kind of food.
Snack of white meat wrapped with ume and shiso leaves
Fruity with lychee-like nuances.
Soft rice-derived sweetness comes later.
The richness and umami are only possible with orikarami.
It goes well with French cuisine.
Concept sake on the rocks.
As recommended 🧊 in a wine glass with ice
Mellow, classic sake aroma
Soft and smooth texture
Powerful alcohol taste comes later, but becomes milder as the ice melts.
Crisp and clear, almost like Korean shochu...
The sweetness is moderate with a refreshing acidity.
The aberrancy is apparent, light but not at all lacking.
Slightly woody taste.
The aftertaste is crisp, as is typical of summer sake.
Pickles: head of tuna stewed in soy sauce
The theme is strawberry🍓.
Sweet and sour and gorgeous.
There is a lactic acid drinkiness afterwards, and the nuance is like yogurt with strawberry jam 🥄.
There's also a piquant gasiness that's refreshing.
Crisp and sharp mouthfeel
The clear flavor and sweetness spreads.
Perhaps because it is well chilled, the high alcohol content is not so noticeable, and a sense of freshness and coolness prevails.
Ponzu sauce with pickled plum and shiso on chicken wings
It's refreshingly fruity, but if you ask me what the nuance is, I can't think of a good one.
There's a banana-ness, pear, or maybe muscat?
Purchased as a souvenir for my parents.
(Niigata people (who like dry, light sake) say it doesn't taste like sake.
But this kind of sake is more trendy and popular these days.
Nabeshima Summer Sake
A less glamorous version of Nabeshima.
I didn't know this until I saw the label, but it's actually aluminium-sweetened.
The final taste is sharp and clean with a slight bitterness.
Light acidity and full sweetness, not quite the summer sake I imagined, but delicious!
I'd like to pair it with Italian fish dishes (which I can't make).
Nuances on the palate are plum and white grapes.
Pleasantly gassy and gusty sensation as it passes down the throat
This is a summer sake!
Small volume and low alcohol content, so it runs out quickly 😂.
A dessert drink after a meal 🥂.
Sweet and juicy
Pineapple nuance 🍍.
No, pineapple juice🍍.
Super pineapple🍍.
Surprisingly not too sweet
I think a lot of people will be swamped by this.
I'll buy this when I can't get Huayangbao.
The yellow theme is banana🍌.
A hint of ginjo aroma like that, or maybe not...
Slightly tender and soft texture
Rich honey-like sweetness, a bit heavy
Surprisingly, acidity is also present and well balanced
Again, difficult to match with food...
Hiragana Takachiyo's only year-round product
There seems to be a shortage of Yongou bottles in the sake world, and the only bottles you can find are for one year olds.
Recently I finally found a Yongou bottle and bought it for the first time 💡.
The blue color reminds me of grapefruit.
The freshness is apparent even though it is fire-aged!
Citrusy with a bit of sweetness.
The moderate bitterness in the aftertaste finishes the whole experience and I appreciate it!
I have always wanted to try this brand.
There is no special distributor near me (in Saitama Prefecture), so I went to Tokyo to buy it.
I don't know if I'm expressing it correctly, but it has a Red Bull-like nuance 🪽.
It has a strong gassy and muscat-like taste.
It's low in alcohol content, refreshing and light.
I wonder what kind of food it goes with... 🤔
Good evening, Abecchio 😃.
Congratulations on your first birth ㊗️ 🎉It's a taste you want to go away and taste 😋 too bad it's so good and light that it kills you instantly 😅.
It's perfect for western food too 🤗
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding the right place to live!
Thanks for your comment 😊
Yes, it looks like it would go well with western food too!
Sweet with a moist presence, but refreshing after the midpoint.
The sweetness is derived from rice and is mild.
Well-balanced and suitable for all palates.
Suitable for all kinds of food
Asparagus and scallops stir-fried with butter and soy sauce
