さけざん
I bought this bottle on the way back from a mountain marathon. It's a ginjo, but the aroma isn't that long. It has a fructose or honey-like aroma, with a slight mineral note coming in later. In the mouth, there is a subtle hint of old sake, but it's good because it's like a hidden flavor. The mouthfeel is soft sweetness, citrus acidity, and a little bitterness. The taste is quite complex. It is the kind of sake you want to drink slowly at night.

Slightly ginjo aroma and sweet aroma The mouthfeel is slightly sweet with a citrusy acidity that refreshes the palate. As the name suggests, this sake is suitable for summer! It is said to be "orikarami" but I can't find any orikarami in it?

The one I bought at the brewery on a trip to Hita and laid in the fridge. Sake temperature 12 degrees Celsius Slight aroma of banana. The mouthfeel is refreshing. It has a clean aftertaste without leaving much residue. Very easy to drink The label on the bottle looks like a souvenir from the old days - I wanted to warm it up, so I warmed it up to lukewarm. Sourness comes out and lingers on the finish, but it's still refreshing - not too sweet, but not too dry - this is good! Perfect for an evening drink! And then, heated to 30 degrees Hyuga Very smooth and easy to drink! This is good, but it's lukewarm, so it will cool down if you don't drink it fast - but it was still good 😃.

Purchased on the way home from a full marathon in the mountains, battered and bruised. It had been out of the fridge for a little while, so the sake temperature was about 13 degrees C. That's why the sweet ginjo aroma is complex, with hints of milk and cedar. The mouthfeel is thick and sweet, but the unique chirichiri-ness of nama-zake makes the sweetness combine well with the sweetness and the sweetness feels just right. Shintani's Wakamusume is one of my favorite brands!

A small brewery in the middle of the industrial city of Shunan! The aroma of apples hides a sweet dairy aroma. The mouthfeel is soft, but the acidity is strong. I wonder if the bitterness is accentuated by the sourness. And the sourness is rather lingering. I guess it's because of the low alcohol content of 14 degrees. Tomorrow is a full marathon in the mountains and I'm still drinking... I have to stop. ❗️

When I was young, I remember buying a bottle of this brand, but I don't know the brand name, and it was delicious. It has a sweet aroma like a pure sake, and a banana-like aroma mixed with various other aromas, like mixed juice! The aroma makes you think it's thick and juicy, but it's surprisingly refreshing. It has a citrusy taste - it leaves a sour taste, but it's not bad. As the sake temperature rises to around 13 degrees Celsius, the chili flavor becomes stronger and more enjoyable 😊. Tao's Moon reminds me of Keita Amemiya's biographical action film, although I don't have any context for it.

I like it, but there are no stores that carry it in our prefecture: ❗️ So I haven't had it for a while, but I bought it when I visited the discharge of the Onomi Dam in Hiroshima Prefecture. The aroma is mild, with a sweet ginjo aroma and a hint of vanilla in the background. The mouthfeel is soft and a little thick. It is easy to drink. Miho is the same name as the toji (master brewer) and president of the company, but the name of the sake is "biho". No wonder it has been a long seller for 30 years!

A bottle bought at the brewery Please drink it well chilled. Not because it says so, but because the sake temperature is 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is not strong but fresh like young grass. There is a slight nutty aroma on the palate. The mouthfeel is light, with a citrus-like acidity that spreads but is not strong. The lingering acidity lingers for quite a while, which is also good. Mr. Yamaoka's main taste is sake that has been aged for a long time. How about a low-alcohol sake (❗️), so I bought it! Well, this one is good, too! I bought 300 bottles to save money, but I should have bought a four-pack! I finished it in no time!

Purchased at a brewery in Hita City Sake temperature is about 9 degrees Celsius. Almost no aroma. Slightly milky and buttery aroma in the mouth The mouthfeel is soft and easy to drink. As the sake temperature rises, it becomes crisp and refreshing. It is an easy drinking sake. A little more aroma would be nice.

The last Zuikan is in the process of aging. but it's brewed in 2023, so it's been sitting for 2 years. Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. The aroma is not strong. Maybe a hint of milkiness. It's a bit milky. The mouthfeel is refreshing. But it is not as rounded as the 5 year old, and this one has more sharpness. Anyway, it is easy to drink, and since it has no sourness or old sake-like aroma, it can be paired with many different kinds of food. Of course, it is also delicious on its own.

On our way to visit the dam, we stopped by Yamaoka Sake Brewery! There were many kinds of sake in the fridge, so I asked the brewery staff about their standard sake, and they recommended this brand! He said it is often served at izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) in Fukuyama City! Yamaoka's sake is often aged, and this one was also aged for 3 years! Sake temperature is 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is like that of old sake, followed by a spicy aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing but soft, with no aftertaste - it has a sharpness to it. As it is a super dry sake, I thought it might have acidity, but I didn't feel it. It is very easy to drink. At room temperature (20 degrees Celsius), some acidity remains, but not too much. It's delicious! Let's try heating it up next time! According to the brewer, it goes well with Western and Chinese dishes with strong flavors. I guess that's exactly the flavor of sake that has been aged for a while, similar to that of Shaoxing sake! I picked a lot of bamboo shoots, so let's try it with Chinese stir-fry with green pepper 😁.

A bottle of winter hanpukai The aroma is not so long. A faintly sweet aroma? It is soft on the palate. The bitterness remains a little, but I think the bitterness makes it more refreshing. The description says to drink it at room temperature or chilled, but I was tempted to warm it up, so I warmed it up lukewarm. It's not bitter, but it's softer and tastes great! This is the kind of sake that you can drink every night without getting tired of it!

Purchased at Tenmanya Store when I drove my college student son to Okayama Soft and fluffy vanilla aroma Not as strong an aroma as one might expect from an aromatic sake. Mouthfeel is refreshing. Slightly bitter taste, but not bad. My impression is that it is an easy-drinking junmai-shu with few habits. Seems to go well with all kinds of food.

I bought this bottle after visiting the brewery on a trip to Hita. Sake temperature 6 degrees C. Slight aroma of melon, clean mouthfeel, no acidity or sugar residue on the finish. At 10 degrees Celsius, the aroma changes from melon to a sweet aroma that is typical of the original sake. The mouthfeel is still clear, but soft, and the warmed sake is easy to drink, but there is a subtle hint of glue in the aroma. I wouldn't recommend heating it up. It's easy to drink cold, so I think it will be gone soon. Well, it's 300 bottles, so I finished it...

One of the Japan Meimon Sake Club's hanpukai Aroma: Aroma of ginjo, not too strong and not too weak, like a melon. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. A hint of cedar in the nose. A little sourness like a lemon lingers on the tongue. The label says it's 16%. I guess it's a pure sake so the alcohol content must be high, but it's easy to drink.

The brewery has revived Japan's oldest sake brewing method called "Bodhi Hashiroshi" and brewed with this method. Perhaps it was because I was holding the bottle with a little bit of a swing, but when I opened the lid, it made a very nice sound. When I poured it into a glass, I found a cloudy sake. The aroma is sweet, which is characteristic of the original sake, and there is also a fresh aroma of milk-like yogurt. Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. In the mouth, it has a soft, round mouthfeel with a slightly tangy sensation. It has a soft and round mouthfeel.

Purchased when I went to see a movie in Hita Sake temperature 8 degrees Celsius The aroma has a hint of melon. Banana aroma on the palate. It has a thick but not sticky aroma. When the temperature exceeds 10 degrees Celsius, the aroma of melon is muffled by the sweet and thick aroma peculiar to sake in its raw state. Dark but soft sweetness Soft mouthfeel for a hara-shu. The subtle chirichiri-ness is also good. It's delicious! Kuncho Brewery is open to the public, and it's fun to look around. There is also a paid tasting - I had to hold back because I was driving there (of course)!

Drink immediately after taking out of the refrigerator. Sake temperature is 7 degrees Celsius Light but hard to drink I don't know. Wait a little, sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius Slightly sweet ginjo aroma - a little banana-like The mouthfeel seems soft, but it's refreshing and leaves no aftertaste. This is a sake that can be served with a wide range of food. Let's try it with delicious fish cakes, the pride of our prefecture!

The color is like a rosé wine as the name suggests. The aroma is not very strong, but has a hint of old sake. In the mouth it is sweet ❗️ with a sake degree of -60 Of course it is sweet. But not too sweet, but soft sweetness. There is a hint of sourness. The color and taste are like yamamomo sake. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and like Junmai Ginjo sake, I thought it would be good as a nightcap sake, but when I looked at the website, it says it's good as a nightcap sake. I almost drank the small bottle I got as a souvenir! I'm going to keep it in the fridge to enjoy before going to bed!

A bottle that was sleeping in the fridge. Soft ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is soft and slightly sweet. It is round or mellow with little acidity. It is a gentle saké with a mild taste. It is an all-Tokushima sake with LED yeast made in Tokushima and rice and koji made in Tokushima. When I visited Tokushima on a trip, a liquor store told me that Tokushima has the lowest production of sake in Japan, but there is a sake brewery that is doing a great job.
