profile iconWhat? Let's sprinkle some cheese on it! The smell of tomatoes and basil is so strong, but when you drink it, you will find it refreshing and not heavy. The restaurant staff chose it for us, so it matched well with the sardines simmered in oil. I want this.

profile iconOutside Drinking. CRAFT SAKE WEEK It has pears in it and is classified as other brewed sake. The color is light cloudy. Sweet in the mouth. As the label & name says, pear🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐. I looked it up at home and they actually used pears. That's right 😅. No clutter, just a slow, elegant sweetness. It has a sour aftertaste and the sweetness doesn't linger. It has a lot of flavor contrary to its light appearance. Perfect for a light drink at an outdoor event👍 Can also be enjoyed outside of events👍

profile iconI chose this one based solely on the likability of sounding like "thank you". The brewer, the Kato family, has had "Ari" in their name for generations, so the name is "Ari-Kato. Furthermore, the Kato family is also related to Kiyomasa Kato, a warlord of the Warring States period. I had always thought of Kiyomasa as being associated with Kumamoto Castle, but this was the first time I learned that he was also associated with Yamagata and Tsuruoka. Learning history through sake. The right way to drink lol #Yu Kato #Fuji Sake Brewery #Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture #Junmai Ginjo #Limited edition sake from the brewery

profile iconMr. Masushin. A little apple aroma. Eiko Fuji no Ouzo. It has a slightly astringent taste from sweetness and cut by acidity. We enjoyed it with grilled chicken, grilled vegetables, consomme soup with mushrooms and bacon, and pickled radish and carrots. It is sweet but has a nice sharpness and acidity, It is a delicious sake that can be served with any dishes. It is a dangerous sake with a strength of more than 16 degrees Celsius, which will soon disappear.

profile iconDrink and support 📣 Hokuriku sake This time we will have Nene, a sister brand of Shirakiku from Okunoto! So, be careful! The aroma is full-bodied sweetness derived from grains and elegant and clean acidity. When you taste it, it matches the image of the aroma perfectly! The moderate sweetness and elegant acidity are the best match, and it's extremely delicious! It goes well with food, especially Japanese food 👌 In addition, it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, so it goes down smoothly. It was the right decision to buy a bottle! I will drink it with care...

profile iconUnfiltered and fired The alcohol content is 13%, which is a little low. It is said that it is meant to be drunk casually. It is indeed easy to drink! I could taste a little sourness. I can't remember what it tasted like the next day when I was drunk. I said at the time that it was delicious!

profile icon硬く甘口お酒。 だがアルコール度数19もあり、冷やで口にすると甘味とアルコールの切れが、衝突し複雑な味わいになるのがある意味面白い。 とは言うもの、冷やと燗は向いておらず 思いっきり冷やすのが良い。ロックで飲む事がオススメ。 もともと濃く深い味わいなので、氷の3欠片程度で全く薄くならなずスムースに。あの衝突が仲良し旨口に変化しとても美味しい。

profile iconI am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

profile iconI had always wanted to come to this restaurant, Jyu. It was a nice place. The sake I chose was Dokure, which is labeled as an amazing sake from Kure. At first sip, I felt a slight sourness, but when paired with food, it was very good. As one would expect from a master brewer, he made the sake he wanted to make himself. It is a sake that goes very well with food.

profile iconExtremely sweet at the moment of drinking, but dry dryness comes immediately. The sweetness is herbal? It has a freshness like green apple and a sweetness like brown sugar, and the crispness that quickly disappears is very addictive. I think it goes well with any meal. The store owner said they only make it in 1 bottle. Right after you drink it, it's extremely sweet, but it quickly becomes super dry. It has a freshness like a green apple and a sweetness like brown sugar, and the sharpness that disappears quickly is addictive. I feel like it goes well with any meal. The person at the shop said they only make it in 1 sho bottles.
