私はサンフランシスコに住んでいます。私の楽しみは、2017年の3日間の日本酒の授業の後に来ました。今、すべての夕食で日本酒を楽しみました。2024年5月、神奈川で小さな2番目の家を買ったばかりです。すぐに日本でより多くの訪問とより多くの日本酒!

私の英語を言い訳してください Delicious sake! Soft, subtle, complex, very daigingo character. Hints of tropical fruit, cotton candy, apple. Enjoyed with home-cooked Korean BBQ ribs, sirloin steak with a light horseradish sauce, and linguine with butter-fried scallops and garlic.

英語でコメントを投稿することをお許しください A delicious sake! I bought this last autumn at Sake Day festival in San Francisco. Distinct fragrance and pleasant taste of pears. Enjoyed tonight with my wife’s cooking of black-bean pork ribs, pan-fried halibut, rice and salad. I can no longer find this sake here in California :-( Our family just bought a home in Kanagawa so we will be back to Japan soon (coming again this November) and I look forward to more sake in Japan that I cannot find in the California.

私の英語を言い訳してください Quite dry and high in alcohol from what I’m used to, hard to distinguish flavors and character. I did sense some woodiness and dry fruit but overall too strong and not that enjoyable. Drank while eating pan-fried halibut, lamb chops, broccoli and pickled ginger.

私の英語を言い訳してください Quite good, but no floral or fruity notes in this sake, quite dry with smooth creamy subtle start followed by vanilla and a slight nuttiness. Very different than most sake. I enjoyed it. Eaten with sturgeon which I caught prepared butter pan-fried with blackened redfish spice and as panko-encrusted fish sticks, rice and miso soup.

私の英語を言い訳してください Really delicious! Very fruity and candy-like (almost cotton candy) with nuances of almond. But overall with a good acidity to stand up to food. Enjoyed with broiled lobster tail over rice with melted butter.

私の英語を言い訳してください This is a very dry sake with hints of pine, wood and anise. It’s nose almost cactus-flower like. A sharp and dry sake deliscious with food. I enjoyed it with fried walleye perch, corn/pork Chinese dumplings, and pork-stuffed green peppers with Chinese-style brown gravy. 😋

私の英語を言い訳してください Not bad, not very complex, a little earthy, lemony, a little astringent. I liked it but often prefer a more complex sake. Enjoyed with a grass-fed steak sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper and pan-fried to rare in butter and olive oil.

私の英語を言い訳してください On my first sip I failed to find any qualities I often find in sake: no fruit, no almond, no flower, etc. I simply found it dry, slightly salty and even a slight “roughness”, but very very slight. Upon then checking online descriptions it was interesting to confirm those expected qualities were indeed not there. It was described as earthy, dry and slightly salty. A welcomed difference to what I’m used to. Enjoyed with a roast lobster tail and pasta with garlic butter.

Fair, a bit watery with not much body, apple-like flavors, cotton candy, a slightly astringent finish. Not bad just not that good either. Did not stand up to food very well. A basic simple sipping sake that most newcomers to sake might like.

私の英語を言い訳してください This is a very bright, clean and refreshing sake. I drank it chilled. Subtle nuances of pineapple and cantaloupe at first, followed by a sharper more astringent aftertaste with slight umami at the end. Quite good though not that complex. I still liked it. Enjoyed with crab/avocado roll sushi.
