ことりThe fragile label made me think it would be more modern, but perhaps that's because it is made with 80% polished rice.
Unlike the Ramune-ness of the Sarasara Junmai Uchijobanabi we had last month, it had a light but concentrated sweetness and acidity that reminded us of plum, apricot, and honey, and a calm and gentle taste with a soft fullness. ニルたろうThis is my first Iwate sake. I was a little wary of whether it was spicy enough to make a bear spit fire. I was a little wary of whether it was spicy enough to make a bear spit fire, but the first sip was a perfect balance of umami and spiciness. It was the kind of autumn sake that makes you want to try other purple air. ニルたろうI looked at the label and wondered if it was really sake. But I picked it up because it was a "hope special". The first sip had a nice aromatic mouthfeel. The aroma of American cherries came first, followed by a hint of banana. It was a complex, rich, and deep sake that was not too sweet and had a sharp, slightly spicy flavor. As one would expect from Bohu, it is a very good sake. It is delicious! ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Nirutaro 😃.
Mr. Sotaike plays with a lot of things 🤗.
These labels are so hit or miss😅but I'd like to try some if it's from Nozomu bo 😙. ニルたろうTo tell the truth, this was my first Nozomu. It was a good quality sake with a depth and flavor that was more pronounced than the fruity aroma. I am drinking it again today! ニルたろうThe first sip of the sake had a mellow aroma and the taste of sake, but the sharpness that followed was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. It was a sake that I have always wanted to drink, and I felt that it had considerable power. It was the kind of saké that makes you want to try other saké as well. ma-ki-Good evening, Nirutaro.
Congratulations on your first sakusama 🎉.
Masanochi is beautiful, tasty, sweet and really delicious ✨.
It's my favorite sake too 🎵 ニルたろうThank you for your comment, ma-ki. I had longed to try this sake when I saw the check-in, but you are right, the taste matches the description of beautiful. There seem to be many other kinds, so I will give it a try. 
ニルたろうOna Sparkling. It is a sparkling nigori sake.
The bottle was opened with caution, but when I shook it a little to spread the nigori throughout the bottle, it spurted out like the champagne of a Formula 1 winner. It was a good sake with a dry taste.
Next time I drink it, I would like to open the bottle carefully so as not to be sad. Please enjoy it with care.

Rice used: Hitogokochi grown in Nasu
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Sake meter: +3
Acidity: 1.9 ジェイ&ノビィHi Nirutaro 😃!
Ona spark🧨Yes, yes! It's a dry type and delicious 🤗.
But spark💥 comes with a danger ⚠️ 😅1/4 hurts, but it might have soaked the table with good taste 😆. ニルたろうYes, I have had a lot of problems. I have had the experience of storing my previous bottle of Sanzu in the refrigerator horizontally, and, well, it was a big problem. Then I learned the hard way that after opening the bottle, it should be placed vertically. I put 80% of the bottle in the fridge at that time, and it soaked up the flavor. ことりThe fireworks label is gorgeous✨
This season's Sarasara Junmai has been renewed for the first time in about 10 years with a cooler taste 🤗.
It seems to be a summer sake made by adding water to the original 12 degree alcohol level to create a once-hot summer sake with an alcohol content of 11.5 degrees Celsius.
They also use white malted rice.
It has a subtle aroma, a light rum-like flavor, a hint of muscat, lychee, and mangosteen...a gentle sweet and sour taste that is elegant. When the oli is mixed in, the taste is light and tasty. The low alcohol content makes it easy to soak up, just like a spud. It's a taste that easily soaks in 😚. ひるぺこGood evening, Kotori-san. I wanted to drink this sake at home. The fireworks label looks like the last of a fireworks display 🎆! It is a perfect sake for summer to drink while watching fireworks 😊. なのは(名芭）Good evening, Kotori-san. It looks like you can feel like you are drinking it while watching fireworks. ⤴︎⤴︎⤴︎⤴︎ Your review makes me want to drink it even more. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Kotori 😃.
Sake no Wa has a good reputation and it will be safe to have it in the fridge 🤗I think I'll go see a liquor store that sells it tomorrow! ことりGood morning, Hirupeko!
The label is holographic and shiny ✨I tasted a lot of the light flavor by itself before picking up the entree 😋It may seem light depending on the entree, but it's great in the summer 😚. ことりGood morning, Nanoha-san: ☺️
Even a midsummer fireworks display 🎆I can't leave my room in this heat 😆 From the clear top clear sweet and acidic, to the subtle oriental mixture of flavor and richness with each pour! You can taste the deliciousness in the gradation 😋 Please try it! ことりHi Jay & Nobby 😃
It was delicious, it was like a light delicious mouthful 😋When we sought out Kochira's Raw Astronomy in July, there were still some Uchihanabi 👀Hitomi's stock how much more 👀☝🏻🤣...there was also ⛄️ for example 🤫. Senkin× United Arrows くわがた 無濾過生原酒 アッサンブラージュ たけるパパ2024.6 Manufacture Caught 😄
Kabuto based assemblage.
Low alcohol content of 14 degrees Celsius
Fresh aroma upon opening.
The first sip is sweet, followed by Senkou's refreshing acidity and light bitterness. Do you feel the sourness more than the beetle?
Finally, the rice flavor comes onto the tongue. The acidity makes you aware of it until the very end.
It is aptly described as honey lemon soaked with the skin.
We enjoyed it deliciously. Senkinオーガニック ナチュール ドブロク生酛原酒生酒無濾過にごり酒 
ことりMelon? Pear? No, it's a delicious dobrok with a sweet and sour taste that makes you think it's a banana cream soda.
It has a clean sweet and sour taste with a hint of rice flavor, and a slight spicy complex aroma, but it's only 13 degrees alu.
For a punchy taste, we had the hot and spicy hot and spicy hot and spicy hot and spicy hot noodles for lunch. はなぴんGood evening, Kotori. 😊
I am fascinated by the hot and spicy noodles.
I am so excited to try it. 😍I want to put rice in the leftover soup,
I want to put rice in the leftover soup. I'm going to have to try it 😫. アルスKotori-san, your stomach is in great shape for gourmet food and drinks.
The dumplings in the back are also www. naturd blok, a feast of variety and aromatic expression (^^) ことりHanapin-san Good evening 🐥The noodles were so tender that the edges of the noodle were very thin 🤤 but I was tingling from my eyes to my throat in a very hot championship 🥵The dobrok after getting home was also perfect for cooling down 😉. ことりArs, good evening 🐥I drink more at lunchtime and less at night...because I drink 🤗 🥟You see ⁇😆 since my checkup at the end of March, my stomach has loosened...my girth 🤣I'm looking forward to X 🤭. ことりThe label on the back says, "...a gorgeous and sweet challenge...". The aroma was glossy and sweet from the first sip, with a tropical fruit-like aroma with a touch of pineapple. As time passed, I could taste the rich flavor of koji. takeshonGood morning, Kotori 😃
I drank this one myself and it was delicious 😋 It was a gem that I would like to drink again in 4 years👍. ことりtakeshon Hello 😊The variety of rare sake, overflowing from the sake cabin ~❗️ always amazes me 🤩Kochira Nakadori's rich, delicious, luxurious taste...I, too, would like to drink it 4 years from now 🥰. HiguThe aroma is reminiscent of elegant apples and rums, with subtle banana nuances.
The light, clear sweetness is harmonized with a fresh, firm acidity and a light umami flavor.
The back palate is pleasantly smooth and sweet with a tight bitterness.
Ah, sake is so good! 
ことりI'm so happy to see a new liquor store that is easy to get to 💕. I've been talking about Purple Space for a while now, but I picked it up because of its cute little heart label 🤗.
It has a sweet and sour taste with a hint of strawberry and candy.
It has a wonderfully clear and gentle taste.
The next day, it has a slightly mellow impression with a rich koji aroma 😚. なのは(名芭）Good evening, Kotori-san!
I'm totally a purple space fan too! ことりNanoha, good evening 😊Manufactured in December...finally opened it 😅Wow, the next day it was slightly richer than the first day 😳Odoroki! But it's sweet~bitter~and delicious 😚. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Kotori 😃.
I remember you mentioned it on Hitomi's SNS 🤗we don't often go to that area 😅I think I'll go there next time after a long time 🤔. ことりGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😊Happy and relieved to be able to buy the brand I was interested in anytime 😌Tenmei Leap No. also had a wide variety of 👀Korekiyo and had kombu water tsukemen while visiting Hitomi-san 😌Hitomi-san 
なのは(名芭）Our first "Purple Space"!
This is also my first time at Hitomi Sake Shop!
Very nice place. I was a cat lover.
We had a lot of fun talking about meows!
Heart label cute.
Sweet delicious~ Sweet~ Juicy and gentle sweetness!
Is it because it's a heart label? I've never had it before, so I'm tempted to try the others.
But it has a small aftertaste, so I poured it out as I went along ( * ← ← ← ← ← ← ). ことりNanoha, good morning 😊I also picked up the same one from Hitomi and I'm waiting for it! I just can't resist picking up a cute one 💕Reviews raise my expectations 🤭. なのは(名芭）Good evening, Kotori-san. I see that you are also welcoming Kotori-san... The label is so cute, I can understand. lol It was sweet and tasty! We are looking forward to your wonderful review, Kotori-san! ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Nanoha 😃!
Oh! It was your first time at Hitomi 👍SNS always has cats🐈😊and Senkou and others have a tremendous amount of great selection 🤗. なのは(名芭）Good evening, J & N. ˊ ˋ* Yes, that's right! It was our first time to meet! I had a good time at this nice liquor store. おやまのやまI found a liquor store that I was curious about, and they have a huge selection of Sentori.
Aroma of white peach, pear and green apple, fruity but very sharp and extremely delicious! おやまのやまFound by chance at a liquor store I was curious about.
Fruity and tangy, but with a hint of sake. 
ことりI usually use a fermenter to make a thick, sweet koji amazake with a high percentage of rice koji and low water content and keep it on hand. I drink it to my desired consistency or eat it with yogurt or fruit.
Sake made with 99% of the ingredients used are koji. The rich flavor and acidity created by the power of koji goes well with dark flavored dishes such as meat dishes in general.
It has a unique flavor and aroma similar to tamari soy sauce or mirin (sweet sake), and a sweet and sour taste similar to plum wine. It is easier to drink on the rocks than at room temperature. It reminded me of Maruhi No.77.
This is the regular version with 33 hours of koji making time. I wondered how much difference there was in the flavor depending on the length of koji making time (29, 37, 41, 45, and 49 hours). There were also products with different koji making time.
Ingredients: Yellow koji for shochu, rice
Alcohol content 13
Rice Polishing Ratio 70%. ジェイ&ノビィHello Kotori 😃
You are very research oriented to make your own koji and to choose the sake you are interested in from there 🤗.
Great 👍 ことりHi Jay & Nobby 😀 There are many kinds of koji amazake sold but they are nice and expensive. I just buy dried rice koji and enjoy making my favorite koji amazake 😅The fermenter helps me without fail 😋.
ことりThe bottle design is stylish ✨
It's softly pineapple or peach, sweet and gorgeous, refreshing sourness and gentle bitterness, delicious 😋.
I want to drink it again!
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15 ことりDessert after yakiniku lunch: Haruko-ito
Both have a delicious sweet and sour taste like strawberries 🍓 There is also a hint of peach-like aroma.
The first day, I have the impression that the acidity is strong, I want to enjoy the change of taste, so I left half of the bottle...
This is my second bottle of Harukoi this season and I enjoyed it very much 🥰 I want to drink it again!

Rice polishing ratio 60 ことりFirst of all, the label is stylish. When the bottle is opened, the gas is so strong that it almost overflows 🫧 The appearance and aroma are gorgeous and enticing. Sweet aroma reminiscent of fresh pear or lychee, refreshing acidity, slightly thickened. Alcoholic and slightly bitter taste while carefully mixing the ori at the bottom of the bottle.
I had it with carpaccio of sea bream with kelp salt 😋 I want to drink it again!

Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 14 ことりSaku doesn't serve any unpasteurized sake.
The freshness despite being fire-aged is what makes Saku unique 🤔.
Gorgeous and youthful aroma rises, bursting with flavor and a slight bitterness in the mouth 🎶Fruity, clean, soft, elegant, sweet and delicious 🥰.
My favorite cheese is Camembert cheese. Recently, I've been enjoying blue cheese, black pepper sandwiches, and other varieties that are matured and melt-in-your-mouth.
Alcohol content 15
Polishing ratio 50%. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Kotori-san 😃.
Before I got to know more about sake, I used to think of cheese as wine 🍶, but really sake has a wide range of flavors 🤗.
Saku! I haven't had any lately! ことりGood morning Jay & Nobby, I'm looking forward to ☀️ God's ears coming up 🎶.
Every liquor 🍷🧀🍶 is deep when you try to know it 🤔I'm impressed by the different drinks and flavors I encounter from time to time✨Thanks for every encounter ☺️ 
ことりYamahai Junmai has the feature of producing a lot of lactic acid
Sake brewed with the No. 77 yeast, which is a highly acidic yeast, is said to be rich in malic acid.
When it's chilly at dinner time, I tend to want to warm up the sake and drink it 🍶... so I opened this one!
It has a unique aroma that I've never smelled before 😵💫 is it like savory miso or tamari soy sauce 🤔When warmed up, the acidity builds up and the aliveness starts to come through 🤔I'm used to the aroma and at room temperature it has an aged aroma that is like miso candy or brown sugar, like boiled down mitarashi sauce or plum wine
One ice cube, rich plum wine.
2 ice cubes... a clear, sweet cider with a hint of gas left in it... and no hint of alcohol.
I was wondering what it would be like when I was trying to figure out what it was like 😄I liked the temperature range of the cold sake 😋 I would like to try it again after a period of time.
Multi-acid yeast No.77

Acidity 2.6 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Kotori 😃.
You have a fun way of drinking it 😊.
We had it before too, but when I looked back at your comment, it said sweet and sour 🍎😆 I want to try it again 🤗. ことりJay & Nobby, thanks for all your comments 👀 I saw your past review at ☺️ 👀 Nobby said you liked it too 😘 It was indeed a sweet and sour taste of 🍎 alcohol 🥰 and he was in his sobriety period then too. I guess I just have a few more days of patience. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
