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 Very nice and unique. A dry snap to the first sip with some slightly grassy flavor followed by melon, cherries and slight floral nose. Excellent for food and a bit thinner in mouth feel than many sakes but I appreciate its difference from most I am used to. Enjoyed with some oven-baked salmon with seasoned and buttered cauliflower.

私の英語を言い訳してください Really delicious. Much fruit flavor, raisins, melon. Smooth character on the tongue. Enough dryness and acid to still stand up to food. Enjoyed with pork ribs plus zucchini crab pancakes (Dungeness crab my daughter and I captured in the Northern California ocean this last weekend!) that my wife made.

私の英語を言い訳してください Fantastic sake. Instantly shot to the top of my favorite sakes. A wonderful nose of sweet fruit with a terrific taste of almonds, caramel and juicy fruits in flavor yet still a good foundation of acidity and slight dryness to cut through food well. Enjoyed with a tray of uni (my favorite food on earth), a small bowl of yakisoba, and two steamed red rock crabs my 9-year old daughter and I caught fresh today near the Golden Gate Bridge. 😁

私の英語を言い訳してください Quite acidic and dry, perfect to accompany stronger foods. Nuances of marshmallow and caramel though only a hint. Very interesting in almost NO character of fruit, flowers or melon which usually so common in many sake. A very straight forward sake not complex which is not such a bad thing. Enjoyed with panko chicken and roasted baby carrots and baby potatoes with ketchup prepared by my wife.

私の英語を言い訳してください I love the Dassai sakes and the 45 is great with food. Melon-like character but good acidity and strength to hold up to grilled fish and spicy foods too. Wonderful flowery nose fragrance. I enjoyed it with garlic-butter grilled halibut tonight.

私の英語を言い訳してください Terrific taste so complex! Melon, citrus, apricot and a very distinct almond marzipan aftertaste. Another new favorite for me. Enjoyed with hamachi kama, poke salad and amaebi.

私の英語を言い訳してください A full body feel in the mouth, a bit acidic which is great for drinking with food, some tropical fruit, but also mineral and woody, not overly sweet to me. Enjoyed with chirashi sashimi selection, chicken katsu and poke salad.

私の英語を言い訳してください Continues to be one of my favorites. Light and dry, initial strong/sharp taste to stand up to spicy food with hints of melon, tropical fruit and citrus. Just love this sake. Enjoyed with skewers (yakitori) of barbecued Korean pork and Xinjiang-spiced pork with rice prepared by my wife.

私の英語を言い訳してください My first time trying the 45, I really like Dassai so was happy my wife found this at our local Japanese market. Wonderful fruit, essence of grape, caramel & anise. Stronger alcohol flavor I think helps with strong foods. Enjoyed with a seafood (shrimp/scallops) Thai coconut curry over rice that my wife made for me. So delicious. I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I miss Japan so much, we were supposed to go over again this summer. Maybe next year. My best wishes to all.

Please stay cool and healthy at home. We know we will overcome together.

Thank you. 😌

私の英語を言い訳してください Rich and almost syrupy the first sip hits you with strong complex flavors of fruit, grape and creaminess. With a definite rice nuance. Enjoyed with fresh homemade pasta noodle sautéed with large prawn shrimp, garlic and butter.

Translated→豊潤でシロップのよう。最初の一口で、ぶどうのようなフルーツとクリーミーさを足した強い香りを感じました。手作りのガーリックバターシュリンプを和えたパスタとともに頂きました。

Thank you Shiholy.

Sure!

私の英語を言い訳してください means “Please excuse my English” So it may be better to write as 私の英語を訳してください。^_^

私の英語を言い訳してください Not very refined or complex and nothing really jumps out to me in character but certainly not bad. Dry and mild candy-like flavor. Enjoyed with pasta and red meat sauce.

一口飲んだ感想としては、洗練されているような印象はとくになかったのですが、悪くはないのは確かです。ドライでキャンディーのようなまろやかな風味でした。ミートソーススパゲッティとともに頂きました。

私の英語を言い訳してください Wow. Wonderful sake. Great complexity with different multiple flavors coming at me, apricot, grape, candy; nice and dry with just a hint of sweetness. Wonderful fragrance too. A new favorite for me. Enjoyed with oven-broiled sea bream.

Now, I translate it. とても良い日本酒ですね。杏や葡萄、飴の様な複雑で異なる様々な味を感じて、辛口かつほんのりと甘さをとても良い香りとともに感じます。私の新しいお気に入りです。おつまみは焼いた鯛でした

Thank you NoLo. :-)

This is one of my favorites. Easy to obtain (Costco), reasonable price, and excellent flavor.

私の英語を言い訳してください First impression: quite dry with not very wide or complex character. Strongest flavor is spice and mild pine. But I reserve judgement since admittedly it tasted much better once drunk with food. I enjoyed with shrimp gyoza dipped in chili oil and soy sauce.

私の英語を言い訳してください Nuances of apple, nutmeg, slight pepper and a nice smooth palate. Good sake but a bit middle character that I like but I sometimes like a more a forward identity. Enjoyed with sushi nigiri and rolls.

意訳：リンゴとナツメグに僅かなコショウのニュアンス、口当たりは滑らか。中間的な味わいながらも、たまに個性が顔出す良いお酒。お寿司と一緒に楽しみました。

Really good. I like nigori but often it’s too sweet for having with food but this one not as thick and not as sweet, drier than most. Also less opaque too than typical nigori. Apple, fruit, mango flavors. Enjoyed with yakisoba stir-fry with beef and broccoli.

Fuller bodied than I usually like with umami flavors, slight candy, citrus and a bit of acidity. Was actually perfect with my wife’s beef sukiyaki over rice and a nice contrast to the lighter sakes I usually drink. As the French say Vive la difference! :-) 私の英語を言い訳してください

Finished off my 2nd bottle tonight with salmon sashimi, hamachi kama and grilled sanma saury!

私の英語を言い訳してください Absolutely wonderful sake! A new favorite for me. Creamy mouthful with overtones of citrus, tropical fruit and melon, really enjoyable. Enjoyed with sake (salmon) sashimi and hamachi kama.

Had again with Thai curry chicken. I love this sake. A new favorite for sure.
