Pineapple top note, just like the label says.
The same fruity aroma as the top, the full sweetness and soft rice flavor spreads with citrus-like acidity, and the slightly bitter and fresh aroma lingers on the finish.
It is a little sweet, but the acidity and bitterness bring it all together in a gentle way, making it a great match with a meal or on its own.
It went well with 7-Eleven's Gold Series mackerel stewed in miso and grilled marinated marinated pork.
It also went well with Thai-style stir-fried pork belly and eggplant, and leek balls. ぶんずToday is the first time I started drinking earlier this week, in Ji Lan.
Heaven, heaven? Heaven?
When you open the bottle, you can see the bubbles slowly coming out.
When you open it, you can smell a lot of sweet lactic acid!
It's sweet, but the acidity works to tighten up the sweetness.
It's like it keeps the sweetness from being too clingy.
Today's taste is milder than the first day the bottle was opened.
I feel it is milder than the first day of drinking.
It is a little bit like Heaven as you drink it.
It is a delicious bottle.

Soft and strawberry topping
The same fruity aroma of strawberries as the topping, a not too strong but full sweetness and umami of rice spread out with the sourness of strawberries, and it slowly finishes with a lingering strawberry aroma and sweet and sour aftertaste.
It is better as an aperitif or dessert sake than with a meal.
It is mostly strawberry juice, but it went well with pasta with chicken in tomato sauce.
By the way, there is a strawberry farm in Kagawa that sells sweet strawberries, and their soft-serve ice cream is also delicious! のみすけMasaaki Sapporo. Good evening 😊.
I'm local but I didn't know this drink 😓.
Strawberry 🍓🍶 and tomato sauce go well together 😲.
I'd like to try it together 😋💕 Masaaki SapporoGood morning, Minosuke😃The Kawatsuru Sake Brewery looks like a nice atmosphere and I would like to visit when I go back home, but I haven't made it there yet😅The sake here is only available once a year 🍶The sourness of the tomato sauce and the sweetness of the strawberries was a nice touch: 🍽️ Yamasan純米大吟醸 愛山 四割五分 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

Moderate gassiness
Slightly sweet grape-like top note
The same fruity aroma as on the top, fluffy sweetness and rice flavor spreads with moderate acidity and slight gassiness, and finishes with a slight bitterness and lingering rice flavor.

Aizan from Yamazan is delicious 😋.
I had my first Yamazan the other day and I quite liked it 🎵.

Masaaki SapporoThank you again, ma-ki-San 👍I'm looking forward to this evening too 😋The Yamadanishiki Yamasan has been on the market recently, but it seems to be strictly due to the stock 😅. Masaaki SapporoThanks again, Heppoko 👍The cherry blossoms are 📷 at the time of purchase, so there is a time difference 😅 and because of that, snow 📷 will appear sooner or later 😁. 川鶴たのののた 讃岐五郷地区田野々産山田錦原酒生酒 ぶんずMy wife is making tempura "Tarabo" for me.
I drank some sake 🍶 Sanuki Claudie's sake brewer brewed this sake.
It's "Kawatsuru" sake brewed by a brewery in Sanuki Claudia.
Oh, wow! It has a drunken aroma and a sweet lactic acid aroma!
It is soft and sweet on the palate.
The mouthfeel is soft and sweet, and it goes down smoothly!
It goes well with tempura!
Yum 👍Yum!

Slightly yogurt-like top-end with a hint of plums.
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and sweetness spreads with a thick lactic acidity and a pichijuwatto, and it finishes with a slight bitterness.
The sweet and sour taste and gasiness make it easy to drink and gives the impression of wine in the latter half of the bottle, making it a great match with meals and also delicious on its own.
It is also delicious on its own. It went well with lebanila, Vietnamese salad with octopus and wakame seaweed, vinegared dishes, and stewed tsuwa from my wife's parents' house in Nagasaki. ぶんずToday we have a sake from "Toyo no Ume" that we were curious about!
It's a concept worker's selection, a product planned by a liquor store.
I wonder if it's a project of a liquor store? It's interesting to see so many different breweries participating 🤣.
There is no information on the bottle label, but it seems that the yeast is CEL-24!
The yeast seems to be CEL-24! I have high expectations!
It is said to be "oriented", but where?
Oooh! ‼️❣️ Smell of pineapple
A certain Musashi no Hana nana, huh?
Oh, gentle taste, sweet? Gentle taste
Drink, drink, drink....4 gou bottle, over half gone...!
I would like to try another brand from this brewery!

Moderate gasiness
Slight strawberry and grape-like overtones
The same gentle aroma as on the top, firm umami of rice and moderate sweetness spreads with crisp acidity and finishes with a slight bitterness and dryness of alcohol.
In the first half, the mild aroma and the firm umami of rice can be felt, but in the second half, the classical acidity and the dryness of the alcohol make an interesting change in impression.
It is easy to match with meals, and is also crisp and tasty on its own.
It went well with Maki no Udon's chicken rice, seared chutoro (medium fatty tuna), sashimi of octopus head, and fried half a chicken. Fudo初恋の季節 (First Love)純米生酒 ぶんずToday's look? Drawn to it,
pink yeast sake.
It is a rich and powerful impression of Shimousakuni sake.
But in the season of first love, low alcohol and pink 🩷.
It's spring, isn't it?
Sweet and sour on the palate and taste.
The sake is low in alcohol, and spring has arrived! It's just like spring has come!
It's like spring has sprung, even though it's snowing outside.
It's a bottle that makes me feel excited.

When the bottle is opened, it pops!
Moderate gassiness
Slightly grapefruity top note
The same gentle aroma, soft rice flavor and not too strong sweetness spreads with citrus-like crisp acidity and a slight gassy feeling, and the slight bitterness that rises from the middle part of the bottle makes it crisp and clean.
On the second day, you realize that it was made with oriki (rice cake).
The acidity is enveloped by the creaminess of the rice curd, mellowing the wine.
On the third day, it becomes even mellower, with white wine-like nuances.
The impression is clean, refreshing, slightly dry and delicate, and of course delicious with a meal or on its own.
It went well with homemade meat sauce and salad. Fudo新酒しぼりたて直汲み 純米大吟醸生原酒 美山錦純米大吟醸原酒生酒 Masaaki Sapporo8 → 8.5 points (wife: 7.5 points)

It is easy to match with meals, and of course it is delicious on its own.
It goes well with dried octopus, soymilk sundubu, and kombu-marinated kaiware. Hanzo半蔵 & 愛山 七代目の想い・・・純米大吟醸 ぶんずToday's sake is "Hanzo" from Iga.
This is elegant, a little sweet, really elegant!
It is a sake that embodies the feeling of accompanying a meal, just like it says on the back.
It's a sake that embodies the feeling of accompanying a meal, as it says on the back.
It has a lot of sweet "Aizan", but it has a drunken feeling.
It's a very drunken sake.
thanks Yuhzakaya (Ezo: Makaei) ma-ki-Good evening, Bunzu-san.
I'm very interested in Hanzo & Aizan: ⤴️
Elegant sake that goes well with food 🤤.
I would definitely get it if I could come across it 😊. ぶんずma-ki-, thanks for your help 😊.
I'm sorry to say that this is my own image,
I thought "Aizan" was a very clear and assertive sake rice.

No gassy feeling
Slightly ripe melon-like top note
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, with a slight sweetness and a rather robust umami that spreads out with a light acidity, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste with a lingering rice flavor and a smooth finish.
The overall impression is well-balanced, with neither a strong sweetness nor a strong alcohol taste, making it easy to pair with meals, and of course, it is delicious on its own as well.

Slightly young banana-like top note
The same aroma as the gentle top rise, with a melon-like aroma behind the aroma, a rather firm rice flavor and soft sweetness that gradually spreads with citrus acidity, and a slight bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness that quickly fades away.
It may be the freshness or the alcohol taste in the latter half that stands out, or it may be a little clumpy, but it goes well with a meal and is also delicious on its own.
Seasoned Jingisukan (Matsuo Jingisukan) or
It went well with seasoned Jingisukan (Matsuo Jingisukan) and Iburi Gokko with cream cheese! ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
First appearance in the snow! Nice 🤗
I used to eat Matsuo's Jingisukan when I was working overnight with a contractor in Hokkaido a long time ago 😌 I miss it! ぶんずI was curious about this "figure" after drinking it in Kinugawa.
I found it at a sake shop in Maei, Sapporo.
The smell of pineapple from the moment I opened the bottle!
This aroma is so promising!
Yee...! Yiii! Gentle and without attack
It sinks in all the time, Shimono's sake, the best!
(But, Shimotsukare, is 、、、、、)
Glad you found it!
thanks Yuhzakaya (Sapporo:Mae) ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Bunzu-san 😃.
It's great to meet you in Kinugawa and see you again in Hokkaido 🤗Sigure! Please continue to enjoy 😋.
We, too, shimotsukare, ha 、、、、 ぶんずHi Jay & Novi, I am looking for a new product.
I understand 🫡I have checked dealers for Ona.
I can't seem to find a distributor for Chung-Ai.
There are no special dealers listed on the website.
I will look for it.
I got it from a local menu at an inn in Kinugawa.
Well, I'm sure you have many opinions. ぶんずToday's sake is a test brew from the holy city of Shibukawa, Kamishu!
I get a thrill from labels like this.
I have a new-fangled side.
The koji rice is Gohyakumangoku and the kake rice is Hitomebore.
I'm not a big fan of sake brewing, so let's see how it goes! Opening the bottle
The lid is opened with great energy, and the aroma is sweet and pleasant.
The taste is not like a sake yeast yeast.
It has a soft sweetness with a little bit of a crunchy texture.
Is it apricot? A little low 14°.
It is a full-scale production!
thanks Yuhzakaya (Sapporo:Makaei) 
みやび♪♪♪♪
It was hard to get (or is it a regional problem?). It is a sake from Kagawa prefecture!
Umami and acidity from the mild aroma! ← See the label on the back w
Wow, it's delicious!
Being a Kagawa sake, I paired it with olives as a snack...
Yum!
I think this has a wine-like quality to it, don't you? I'm just giving you my opinion ← this is just my opinion 😑.
No, it's rice wine ← according to Mrs. W
This quality in a junmai sake? ←Mrs. W marveled
Conclusion...it's delicious! 🤣
The snacks were
Onion crostini (homemade)
boiled maitake mushrooms, prosciutto ham and black olives (homemade)
Tomato bruschetta (homemade)
It was a very delicious dish!
Since it's a Kagawa sake, I went all out on the olives: 🙇♂️ ジェイ&ノビィHi Miyabi 😃
Congratulations on your first Kagawa sake 🎉㊗️
We have only one Kagawa sake 😅 here's our next Kagawa sake 🍶 on our list 🤗. みやびHi Jay & Nobby😊.
Thank you for congratulating ㊗️ ☺️
My wife was drinking this drink with soda water.
She said it was delicious! She said it was delicious!
If you see it, please give it a try! RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
