Senshin

Asahi Shuzo Niigata

Patiently Dry Neat Effortless Crisp Silky

My grandfather seemed to have gotten it from a neighbor, so I drank it. Perhaps because I drank it with Koshino-Kanchubai, I felt it was easy to drink.

This is my second post tonight, back home to my parents 🙌. Kubota Kenshin Junmai Daiginjo 2021BY✨ I'm opening a bottle to feel a traditional sake for the first time in a while: ☺️ The rice used is 100% Takananishiki, and the polishing ratio is higher than that of Manju, which is a high-end line. The aroma is of the light, dry Niigata sake of yesteryear, but with a hint of matured sweet grain 😊The taste is a perfect complement to Japanese food as a mid-meal sake, with a sharp aftertaste, but with a soft, full-bodied rice sweetness that is delicious in its own right 🤤.

My brother at home gave me a birthday present! I was so scared. I was scared to drink it. I was afraid to drink it. This is a very elegant light and dry sake. It has a light but delicious flavor, and the dryness is gentle and pleasant. The more you drink, the more delicious it becomes! I will keep it at my parents' house and savor it carefully. Thank you very much, brother!

Mira Shuzo Aomori

Smooth Subtle Effortless Forceful Umami Refreshing Silky Apple

At Aomoriya, Ikebukuro 13 degrees Nomiyasui, but you can also enjoy its robust flavor as you drink more of it. Nebuta at the entrance

@中目黒

Sweetness: 3 Umami: 3 Astringency: 2 Acidity: 2 Bitterness: 3 Fullness, body: 3 Flavor: Apple The color is almost transparent, and the head aroma is soft and raw. On the attack, the sweetness and umami of the rice smoothly passes through the nose, followed by an apple-like lingering aroma. The bitterness that lingers at the end is not heavy at all, but it is still very tight. Although the alcohol content is 13%, you can enjoy the sweetness and umami of the rice and drink it easily without getting tired of drinking it 😆. On the second day, there is no particular change in texture as the sake is still stable as a fire-brewed sake. It is still an excellent food sake and goes well with teriyaki yellowtail and canned mackerel! Delicious!" but more like "Oh, it's so good!"...lol

Rikyubai

Osaka

Purchased at a sake brewery (1) Even though the store was closed on a regular holiday, the staff at the store was courteous and allowed me to purchase it willingly. The strongest bubbles in my history! Light, dry and slightly dry. You can taste the umami of rice, but the lingering aftertaste quickly disappears. A delicious sake that is very easy to drink! After a few days from opening the bottle, it loses its freshness and becomes fruity and elegant.

Japanese>English

Cloudy liquor, with gas. Strong gassy feeling, jetting when opened after turning cloudy. Be careful. Taste is good with strong gassiness, but felt kind of halfway.

華鷹

Hamashima Shuzo Oita

Flamboyant

This is a bottle I bought on a trip to Kyushu along with a bottle of sansho. Buying a bottle of sake on a trip is fun because it seems to test the overall strength of my sake experience. This time it seemed to be a winner. And I have a feeling that I hit the jackpot. I'll check again tomorrow.

Japanese>English

Yamada Nishiki and Oita Mitsui. The flamboyance of the perimeter. Spiciness swells from the mid-palate and is released in a refreshing manner.

Kitanohomare

Godo Shusei Hokkaido

Kitanohomare K30 Konjun is a junmai sake from Godo Shusei brewed at a factory in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The amount of koji used in the brewing process is 1.5 times larger than usual, resulting in a rich, full aroma and flavor that spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake that will not be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food.

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Hatsuayu

Ayumasamune Shuzo Niigata

See-through

I went to the Ayu Masamune Fair starting today. I ordered a very limited set of sake to compare. Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Sake "Ayu" is indeed a junmai daiginjo, and I can only describe it as delicious. It has a mellow mouthfeel, mild flavor, and a bit of acidity. The next sake, unfiltered junmai nama sake "AYUMASAMUNE" is as delicious as the jun Dai. It is mellow, acidic and full-bodied, with the difference being the junmai's lack of over-polishing. Then there was the junmai nigori sake "Sakororo," an alcoholic amazake with a refreshingly sour taste. Of course it was delicious. Finally, I ordered a separate Junmai Ginjo "Hatsuayu" that I wanted to try from the standard set. It was both sweet and sour, and had a refreshing taste like a junmai ginjo. After that, we visited Hankyu Umeda, Hanshin Umeda, Daimaru Umeda, Yamanaka Sake no Eki Marche, and also visited Edion Sake Store and Sake no Yamamoto! Whity's Niigata Okome had a lineup of Sake-no-jin limited edition junmai and junmai spring-fermented sake. I would have brought him home if I had less stock at home....

This is the first sweetfish recommended by the liquor store 🐟. I bought it by the square because they say it's sweet and tasty this year✨. I had my wife drink it and it was sweet and easy to drink ‼️ 🍶.

Yukikomachi

Fukushima

Yukikomachi was recommended to me as the last bottle at the liquor store I usually go to. It was my first time drinking it. It has a strong taste of rice, and is a very rich and robust sake. It has a strong umami flavor and is very robust. It is easy to drink, although there is a bit of spiciness in the aftertaste. Fukushima sake is delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

8.5 Like a weak Keitora.

Japanese>English

It is a junmai daiginjo, but it is quite refreshingly dry. I like it dry, so it is delicious, but I am having sukiyaki today, so it may not go well with that.
