In a tavern for drinking. Simply delicious! I was satisfied with many dishes to go with the drinks.

Second type of hinemos. Apple scent. The apple aroma is nice, but the taste or flavor artificiality still bothers me...

This is the first of four bottles we tasted and selected! I still feel some artificial flavors... I know there are no additives other than rice in the ingredients... I tried it with spare ribs and avocado, but the impression didn't change much. I thought it might taste good with food, but it wasn't my favorite.

Along with Yose-nabe 🍶. Delicious! Good flavor, not too sweet, more robust than light. It goes well with meals! I think there is nothing better than this kind of combination of a legitimately delicious sake and a nabe dish... It is absolutely delicious with oden. I've heard that it's good heated up, but I tend to drink sake cold all the time. I should try it once in a while. I wanted to savor it more, but I had to settle for 0.8 gos of sake... It was my kind of sake that I don't mind the sweetness even if I drink it over and over 🙏.

With pickled horse mackerel and simmered taro chicken. It is easy to drink! The sweetness is not too strong, and in a good sense, it goes well with food without being assertive. When I drank wine the other day, I could drink it so easily that I ended up opening almost a whole bottle, and I couldn't believe how much I ate with my appetite and how hungover I was the next day. On the other hand, sake is heavy in taste, for better or worse, so you can savor it as you sip and savor it, and you can naturally control the pace and volume of your drinking and eating. I was able to save the amount of sake I drank by drinking only a small amount (in my case, one gou), which may or may not make me feel tipsy. Once again, I felt the goodness of sake 🙏.

Returned to my grandparents' house. They prepared a feast and sake! Stuffed peppers, croquettes, salted lemon spareribs, and cod roe. Mie is famous for its delicious sake. An unexpected pleasure since I am a local 🥹. Personally, I felt the aroma was more fruity and the taste was sweeter than the Sharaku I drank the other day. It's good as a food sake! But as I drank more and more of it, I started to feel the sweetness more strongly. I can't drink enough of it, so I can't drink more and more of it as I drink more and more. It's delicious, though. I think I prefer a less sweet sake that goes well with food. I would like to find my own taste in this way.

I bought it to celebrate the fact that I had a little something on my shoulders. So I bought it at a well-managed liquor store instead of at the supermarket like I usually do. I was attracted by the claim "fruity but suitable for food wine". As it says, it has a sweet and fruity aroma that passes through the nose, but the sweetness does not linger, and the taste is sharp and crisp, but the umami of the rice is still there. I honestly wondered what the "umami of rice" often referred to in sake is! I thought, "This is it! My tongue is happy, happy, happy. The bitter gourd stir-fry, avocado and prosciutto ham salad, and potato and cheese galette on the menu all go well together, but they are also too delicious on their own, and I can't stop eating more...even though I have an early day tomorrow: ...... Someone stop me! ...... I'm not sure what it is, but the few I've had so far, I feel like my tongue gets dumber and sweeter with each drink, but this one, on the other hand, just keeps getting better and better... I think. That's one of the reasons why I've been using the ♾️ loop. I liked the different kind of sake like the Sanuki Kuraudai the other day, but the best sake is the one with a clear umami taste that goes well with a meal. It was a bottle of sake that made me think once again how good sake is and how delicious it is.

2024.8.2 Today, a week later, I drank it again and found that the sweetness and alcoholiness had become harsher, and the umami had weakened. I wondered if it tasted like this, and thought I could drink it more smoothly... I wonder if there is a limit to how long it can be stored in a home refrigerator... Sake is innocent...

I found this sake introduced as a sake that goes well with Nanbanzuke (pickled horse mackerel), and as I am a big fan of Nanbanzuke (pickled horse mackerel), I was glued to it. I have avoided sweet sake since I felt that Mio did not go well with it, but I could not suppress my desire to know more about it because of the good review that said, "The best marriage of the two sakes enhances each other's individuality and shows synergy" and "Both the dish and sake can be enjoyed as the leading role of the sake. I couldn't resist the desire to find out more about it because of the good reviews. In the end, I ended up with swordfish and chicken in nanbanzuke because there was no horse mackerel. The recipe says that it is made to go with chicken on the bone, and that it goes well with dark and spicy dishes such as curry, yakiniku, and mapo doufu. So, I paired it with mapo doufu as well. As it turns out, I wasn't sure if it was a good match for both the nanbanzuke and the mapo-tofu... But the sake itself was delicious and I liked it. The label is cute too. This is not a sweetness I don't like. Personally, I prefer to taste the sake by itself rather than with some food. This is definitely an adult Calpis. It's very sweet, but you can gobble it up. However, if you drink too much of it, the sweetness will hit you afterwards and you will feel a bit sick. When it comes to matching it with food, I would probably go for a light, dry or umami type.

I was lured by the claim "mellow and delicious" and bought it. It is true that this is a delicious wine...! It is delicious. It is delicious. It has a flavor peculiar to the addition of brewing alcohol, but I don't mind it that much. I think I like it better than the ginjo type when I think about pairing it with a meal. And what's more delicious is the cheese cod. I think it is the best accompaniment for sake. It was a simple snack, but it went so well with the sake that I found myself drinking it without any water to wash it down and getting drunk. Even though I was drunk, one sip of sake made me crave for cheese cod, and one bite of cheese cod made me crave for more cheese cod. I heard that cheese cod is delicious if you microwave it for a minute and a half, so I tried it. It goes well with sake. As you get drunk, you will notice a banana-like fruity taste. I drank with the results of the medical checkup that had just come back, which was a pointless way of drinking, but I enjoyed it because I like to look at these things. My liver function was all A. I had always avoided drinking cuppa, but it was delicious. I was pleasantly drunk, and it was a great treat.

A handsome mother's gift of Otter, which I've been looking forward to for my birthday celebration for a long time. I lived for this this month. When I opened the bottle, the first thing I noticed was that the aroma was exceptionally sweet and fruity... The Junmai Daiginjos I've had in the past were sweet and easy to drink, but the smell was like alcohol! The taste was still easy to drink and fruity.... But this one was sweet from the moment I opened the bottle... and the taste was still easy-drinking and fruity! I think it's the same as the aroma, but I think you can feel a little bit more alcohol when the bottle is just opened. When you get drunk and become dulled by the aroma, the cool, watery aftertaste is pleasant and you can drink as much as you want... It's so light when just opened, I wonder what it will be like after a day? I am looking forward to drinking it next time. The first one is with teppan-yaki Matsusaka beef from my grandparents. Second with chocolate from my brother, maybe because he's a handsome chocoholic, but it goes well with sake! Yum! I'm happy to have a dinner full of things given to me by others.

Drinking in the daytime. I wondered what a "Nakaguchi" would be like... It had the same balance of sweetness and spiciness, but they did not cancel each other out, and yet it was easy to drink like water. I didn't feel the burning sensation of alcohol as much as I would have liked. I have only recently learned about sake, so I am not sure if what I felt was right or not. If it tasted good, I guess that's all that matters.

Delicious ...... Sukiyaki is served as an accompaniment. It's still warm and soup stocky (and rich in flavor?). It goes well with dishes with warm broth (and strong flavor?). I think I like this one better than Kyo Hime because it is less sweet. It has a more interesting taste than Kubota. I feel like every time I drink sake these days, it tastes better and better. I wanted to taste more and more. When I drank it with oden later, I wondered if there was such a delicious thing in this world... I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that it wasn't served in a pot... I guess I enjoy a little bit of time after opening the bottle... And even more later. I thought it would taste better if I soaked strawberries overnight. I tried it, but the result was a bad taste of bitterness (see photo). I added halfway sweetness to the strawberries, which was not good. Maybe I should add sugar or use another sweet sake? The fruity taste made it easy to drink.

Light and watery. I ordered it at a sushi restaurant. I don't know if I am the type of person who prefers hot food to sake, but I didn't think it would go well with sushi. I wonder if my impression would be different if it was sake served at a high-class sushi restaurant.

It is neither too much nor too little. It is easy to drink, and as always goes well with nabe. I am the type of person who prefers to drink sake with warm dishes that have a good Japanese broth. Sake makes the nabe, the nabe makes the sake, and the sake makes the nabe, and the sake makes the nabe, and the sake makes the nabe, and the nabe makes the sake.

I ordered it at a tavern because it was "gently sweet"...sorry, not for me. It was so sweet that I almost threw up because I was full at the time. I felt nothing but sweetness. It was like amazake. I don't like amazake, so maybe I didn't taste it.

One sip and it tasted good right away! I thought. It seemed to have less of that feeling of being stuck in the throat that is characteristic of sake. It was easier to drink than Homare. It tasted great on its own and with food, but gradually the sweetness became too much for my taste buds... it felt too sugary and sticky. When I drank it later, I felt the same way. But it was really good at the beginning. Maybe tasting a small amount in a short time would suit me better.

For the first time, I felt that sake itself tasted good. It tasted even better on its own, of course, but also with nabe dishes using commercially available nabe tsuyu (nabe sauce) (a so-called marriage, I guess). I can't count the number of times I have felt that food and white rice go well together! I have had countless occasions when I have felt that food and white rice go well together, but this is the first time that I have felt that sake and food go well together. This was the first time for me to feel that sake and food go well together. Until now, I have been drinking sake with the idea of "getting drunk" in mind, not limited to sake, thinking "well, it's not so bad, it's good for getting drunk.
