I was looking forward to UA hagwagata. ...expressing sweetness and bitterness in a clean taste, it was inspired by a honey lemon pickled with its peel...". There is no gasiness, and the taste is whey-like with a strong lactic acidity. It was so easy to drink that you could not feel the alcohol. Rice: 70% Yamadanishiki from Domaine Sakura Domaine Sakura Kame-no-o 30%. Rice polishing ratio: 90 Alcohol content: 14% (undiluted) Design: United Arrows

Hi Kozou 😃I agree with what you said about the pleasant acidity that is not suppai 😊The mild throatiness of the 14% alu made me drink more than ever 😋and the chicken skin dumplings 👍🏻

We selected this Junmai Daiginjo from the refrigerator to go with scallops and tuna sashimi, and it was the only one in the tank that was made using Aomori yeast "Jyo" as the raw material rice. The label design gives it a classical image...but there is no gasiness. The top aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma like sweet melon and pear, and the aroma reminds of a deep forest behind the sweet fruitiness and the full flavor. Is it sweet? The citrus-like acidity is in harmony with the clean aftertaste. Rice polishing ratio : 50 Alcohol content : 17%.

Good evening, chika-san - you drink a lot of Aomori sake. ☺️ I bought this one around spring at Sekiguchi Honten in Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture. I like it because it is a hole-in-the-wall kind of sake store.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby, I'm the little guy who can't just drop by ☺️ and leave empty-handed 😅 trusting the taste buds of the store owner who stocked it? I'd like to enjoy the encounter with a brand you don't see very often 😊.

Aroma: A sweet, mature aroma with no gassy feeling. After the gentle acidity, there was a slight bitterness, followed by a mushroom-like taste, and then the umami spread to the palate. It was delicious with grilled fatty salmon kama. Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18%.

It is completely different from the Junmai Ginjo Seha Mangetsu (hiyaoroshi) released in the fall, and the spring version is a blend of several different types of sake. It has a gentle ginjo aroma and a clean, slightly bitter taste, but it also has a delicious flavor and is easy to drink. The best thing about it is that I was surprised at its cost performance 😳. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)     Brewing alcohol Alcohol content: less than 15-16 Rice Polishing Ratio: Sake Degree +2 Acidity 1.8

Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☺️ They said it was a blend of sake and not a specific name sake, but they said it was more Daigin 😄 Looking forward to your review of Fukushima Road 🤗.

Activated nigori sake brewed in a wooden vat Slightly effervescent 🫧Lasting refreshing acidity, light fruity taste, slight sweetness, and a hint of astringency, but easy to drink. The sake cup is probably better to use a ceramic one than a clear glass, as it does not look dirty. Oh, my! I found a piece of wooden vat at the bottom of the bottle! Super precious! But I drank it before I knew it😳. Rice polishing ratio 90 Alcohol content 13%.

While researching sake, I learned that lactobacilli play an important role in the production of sake. I visited a sake shop in search of active nigori sake and was told that this one, which is made using the traditional sake yeast, was recommended. We headed home with high expectations for our first sake with a hole in the bottle! The fruity complexity of the aroma, along with the acidity and sweetness that burst in my mouth 🫧I was shocked at how delicious it was since I have spent most of my life without drinking sake except for life events 😳. The second day...third day...and as the gas settled down, the sweetness gradually became more noticeable 🤔I was impressed by the changing taste and deliciousness of sake as the days went by 🥹. Rice polishing ratio 65 Alcohol content 16%.
