The refrigerator is overflowing with new sake and wine.... We first chose a craft saké that was light and could be opened quickly.
This is my first attempt at haccoba. This time, I was intrigued by the gin distillation lees and juniper berries used as secondary ingredients.
The aroma is exactly like gin itself. Unfortunately, the gassiness was not as strong as I had expected.
It is quite sweet. Maybe that's why I feel like I'm drinking a gin and tonic. This is not good.
The acidity and bitterness (also like gin) continue to the finish.
It was very tasty. I recommend it to gin lovers. If it had more gas, it would be a gin and tonic itself!
Last week I was unable to drink much alcohol due to a flu outbreak in my household. I finally got better, so I opened a bottle of this year's Snowman without hesitation.
The aroma is a subdued muscat. This year's sake is a bit crisp. The gasiness is a bit gassy.
Gentle sweetness. This is nigori sake. The acidity is not as strong as expected.
Toward the end, the acidity rises and the aftertaste is beautiful.
Of course, it was delicious this year, too. It seemed drier than last year. This year, I recommend it for during dinner.
The store stock was sold out, but we were able to drink it by the horns.
Smooth, sweet and delicious. Smooth, sweet and tasty, with a gaseous and sour taste.
This is a snowman. ⛄️
Clear, smooth and delicious sake
Fruity aroma, smooth attack. Slightly umami mouthfeel. It is easy to drink and has a light full-bodied flavor.
ABV 14°, but you can drink it without feeling the alcohol 🤣.
clear and tasty
Fruity aroma, smooth attack. Taste: clear and delicious. It is easy to drink and has a lingering aftertaste that quickly disappears.
It has the same 13% ABV as the SEA, but the Amber is more subdued. I would like to enjoy it slowly on a long autumn night. If possible 🤣.
The weather is getting much cooler, and the sake season is finally here...I have to open the fridge because a wave of new sake will arrive at once around November.
Sairai's seasonal sake, Altair?
The aroma is like the usual peach yogurt. It is a special aroma that can be smelled only at Sairai. It is a little bit gassy.
It has a sweet and sour taste, but it is not too strong, and it is surprisingly refreshing. When it is cold, you can enjoy it easily with the aroma.
However, when it is warmed up, you may feel a little bitterness, and on the third day, the aroma weakens and the bitterness takes precedence.
It is best to finish it as soon as possible.
Librom had been on sale a lot in the summer, but while I was busy drinking beer, they were selling out fast.... But I was curious about Sumomo, so I bought it without hesitation.
The aroma is just like that of plums. It smells so good. I almost wanted to put it in my mouth. But this Sumomo was the most difficult sake to open in the past few years. Therefore, it is super shwashy.
It has a sweetness like when you eat a seasonal plum, and a strong sourness. As usual, the lactic acidity is perfect.
The acidity continues pleasantly, and then it quickly disappears. This is excellent.
I think this is the best Librom I've had recently. I shared it with my wife, but I regretted that I should have drunk it alone...
Next, grape!
It's been about 2 years since I've seen Mr. Instrument. This time, no way, hop sake.
The aroma is just wonderful. I've never had such an intense muscat-like aroma. I didn't realize that the hops would intensify the muscat aroma even more. The gassiness is slight.
The sweetness is weak and the acidity is strong. But it is short.
The acidity is crisp and ends quite crisply.
Craft sake hops often give the impression of being fresh, like a new drink, but this instrumental hop is like a build-up of sake, which is very innovative. A sparkling of this would be so delicious....
Good evening, disry. I didn't know they serve hop sake at Gakki. It's refreshing to see how hops can enhance the fruity aroma of sake, and I think it must be because they are a popular brewery 😊.
Good evening, Hirupeco 🌝.
Yes, it's a hop sake, no way 😳
I was wondering if the craft breweries would suffer if this level of hop liquor was released. 🤔
And it's cheap, right? 😅
It's been a long time since I've had a beer, so it's been a long time since I've had a sake, and this is Shinshu Kamerei.
Since I can't raise the effort to get it, I decided not to pursue it unless I happen to see it at a store. So I am super happy when I find it.
Well, the aroma is very gorgeous as usual. Apples and pineapple. A little bit of gasiness.
Sweetness is quite strong. The acidity is crisp. Sweetness is more prominent than acidity.
After the acidity, the bitter taste comes out quickly and finishes.
After drinking it for a while, the sweetness is quite noticeable, but it goes well with salty grilled fish. However, I think it is gradually becoming less and less compatible with my personal taste.
August has come and gone, but the summer drinking has not ended... I guess I'll just have to settle for summer/autumn....
Sunburst has been getting better and better every year, and this year's is pretty good, too. The aroma is lactic acid, citrus, and seme. Dark. Somewhat gassy.
The sweetness is mellow and the acidity is intense. It is very fresh and is the opposite of a refreshing summer sake.
The acidity continues to the end and finishes with sourness.
This is my favorite type of Koei Kiku. I am happy that it has the atmosphere of when it first came out. I hope there will be another Koeikiku with lactic acidity, strong gas, and sourness.
First mint in a year; I hear it's a summer tradition in Librom.
The aroma is mint, of course, but this time there is also a slightly strange spicy note. The gasiness is schwashy.
Not too sweet for Librom. The acidity is firm, but more refreshing than usual.
The acidity is crisp and finishes quickly.
By Librom standards, it is quite dry. The refreshing and crisp quality, combined with the minty aroma, makes this a perfect summer sake.
Good evening, Ma-kun1128🌇.
I am so jealous that you are going to the headquarter of LIBROM👍.
Try to drink some of the local limited editions or something like that ‼️
The master of the all-you-can-drink sake restaurant I went to last week seems to be a classmate of mine and introduced me to the restaurant. I will go there tomorrow.
