. Light and botanical label. The waitress told me it was designed to be a women's food wine! Select the mineral version😊. Sweet and juicy, slightly carbonated. It feels quite sweet, so it would be better suited as an after-dinner drink! 30 fried spring rolls for snacks (main dish)👌

. Goal (desire) for this year, go to hot springs once a month: ♨️ This area has black hot springs and they have a nice thermal effect! The restaurant has a sake bar where you can choose from 7 brands of sake and compare 3 different kinds, which was a nice first choice. From left, Nanbu Bijin Junmai Ginjo Junjo-Junmai Collage Junmai All are delicious! The flavors are changing from light to heavy in order from left to right. Each of them has different sweetness of lychee, banana and muscat. Sake sinks into your body..., Good circulation makes you drunk...

. Took the day off today and went to the school in the morning to pick up my child's potted eggplant plant, (Parents must take them home...) Then, I ended up sneaking home to work... I decided I had to drink sake, since I was going to be there, So, I decided to go to a nearby restaurant where I could drink sake... I went to a restaurant in the neighborhood and had a glass of Hachikaizan Uonuma, which is apparently only available at restaurants! The aroma is a mixture of red grape sweetness and sourness. The taste is easy to drink, with a good balance of sweetness and bitterness 😊. I'm missing Niigata a little bit, as I'm always looking for Niigata brands!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Last month, my husband bought a bottle of Houou Mita at Hasegawa Sake Shop while he stopped by Tokyo Station 😊. Thank you very much! It has a juicy, sharp and gassy taste! As expected, delicious! After about 2 weeks, the sweetness and flavor are concentrated, and it tastes mellow, easy to drink, and different again! Recently, I have a habit of getting drunk and falling asleep for an hour 💤.

Purchased at a nearby Kakuyas that I casually entered. Small size to fit in my bag on my way home from work👌. One of my co-workers from Gunma recommended Akagisan and Mizubasho as sake brands, which I had been wanting to try! The taste has a fresh aroma, sweetness, and a smooth finish. I've been drinking a lot of gassy sake at home lately, but this was a legitimate sake that goes well with food 😊🍶.

. Went to a local liquor store a while ago. Again I told them of my preferences and here is what they recommended, Koshi no Raikou! Actually, I have a cough from my child, I thought it was just a cold, but it seems to be whooping cough... It's stronger than the mycoplasma I had last year... Please be careful everyone! I'll take it with all my heart, as sake is the best of all medicines 😊! My sense of smell and taste are a little diminished, but... The aroma is fresh and fruity, and for some reason, strawberry shortcake comes to mind? The taste is sweet and sizzling, just the way I like it 👌. Juicy sweetness, deep bitterness, and a sharp gasiness. It is very refreshing and tastes good. The zucchini tempura as a side dish was a hit!

. Welcome, newcomers to the company 🌸 So, a welcome party for new graduates who were assigned in May. As the organizer of the party, we decided to go to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) with oden, which I had been to about 15 years ago. There's only one type of sake for all-you-can-drink, but I asked for an extra order. My first Jikin! We all toasted together! The aroma is refreshing! The taste is smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness from the rice. It went well with the oden soup stock 😊.

I met up with my husband and kids the next day and we went to my parents' house together. I stayed at a hotel directly connected to the station that day, so I didn't feel like I was stretching my wings too much 🤣. I really appreciate my husband🙏. (Although, I got a taste of it, so I hope I can do so again next time) I was able to buy it at the downstairs Ponshukan and taste it in the comfort of my room. The aroma is elegant and understated pear. Thin white like snow, fruity and sweet. When you drink it, you can feel the gaseous sensation that passes through your nose. Well, you may get an image of it melting like a cocoon. It was my favorite taste 😊.

Previous Continued "Tenbi in early summer is ready." I went back two days later and to my surprise, there was a whole other kind called Hotaru-ten 😊. Sake is a great way to enjoy the flavors and aromas of the different seasons, and once again, it's amazing! And lucky for us, we were just about to run out of bottles, The waitress made a nice suggestion 💓 that since we were just about to run out of bottles, we would split the bottles by opening the bottom and the top of the bottle. I was so thankful to have it! First, the opening! Fresh and gassy, with a pleasant tingling sensation in the mouth! The fruity aroma carries through to the nose while drinking! This is certainly perfect for early summer! Next, the bottom of the bottle Totally different! It's almost like it's something else. The gassiness has calmed down and the sweetness and bittersweet flavor are concentrated! Both are delicious! This drinking comparison is addicting 😊.

I realized in front of the store... Oh, I forgot my phone! I can't take a picture, and ordering is by QR code.

The sweetness and a little sourness spread on the palate along with a gassy feeling! It's a stable taste! I wish I could drink different kinds of Amami!
