Tomiikiku's local sake ministry️ popular at Haneya. This sake is available in supermarkets😊. The traditional method of production is the same as that of Haneya. Different tastes with different vectors 😋. This sake is characterized by sweetness and umami, not dryness. The common feature is a powdery taste like Kamishinko. It's not always available and not always cheap. I've been through it all along😅lol

Japanese>English

As expected! Apparently it's only available at Seven. 300ml costs about 700 yen. It's shocking that this can be found in a convenience store! It's juicy, refreshing, and slightly sizzling. It's not alcoholic, and it's gone in a flash!

Japanese>English

It's not as good as the Haneya award-winning sake I drank the other day. but the sweetness and elegant taste was similar😄. It was delicious and I drank it at a good pace.

Tonight, I'm back at work after GW, but naturally I'm not very excited 🥴. This one is brewed with Dewa Sanzu and Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The aroma is mild without being showy. It is a versatile sake with a soft sweetness and acidity of cucumber and herbs and a clean aftertaste that is also very sake-like 😊. It is as delicious as the rumors say 😋😋😋😋😋.

Japanese>English

Tonight, here is a very popular project sake from Yamagata 💁. La Jomon Shoumon Koji Triple Masamune Nama Sake 2023BY✨. I think it is safe to say that this is the second most popular sake after Jyushidai. I think it is. Well, it's hard to buy and sells out quickly 😫 Now, this is the first Koji Sanbai Masozo-shu Nama-shu in my house. As you know, the specs are as perverted as you can imagine 🤣 it is made with Dewanosato x 66% koji ratio x 66% milled rice ratio x Kyokai No.6 yeast 🤣. The taste is very pleasant with the strong acidity of triple the koji, and it is easy to drink. It is not white koji, but it reminds me of a certain cat sake 😺.

Japanese>English

Tonight, I opened a bottle of this one to accompany my dinner of kochi and kampachi sashimi and squid cod roe 💁. La Jomon Six Nama Sake 2023BY✨ We happened to have a lot of Six Nama Sake on hand, so we'll have a quick bottle. When I poured a glass of chilled sake, it had the usual mild uri aroma, a beautiful acidity, a little sweetness and citrusy flavor like Pocari, and the second half was a mix of astringent, bitter, and spicy flavors. It can be served alone or as a mealtime drink. I'm going to try the "Murasame" that some of the connoisseurs in the area are trying later 🙌

June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drinking sake. The last and seventh drink of the day was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori. It is a mellow, sweet and delicious sake, easy to drink easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. It is easy to drink without feeling alcohol content. It was delicious with grilled sea eel and I enjoyed it with grilled sea eel and tanzaku yam.

I worked hard, so I opened a bottle of Snoclet followed by this one. Sweet, good, a little sourness, bitterness, and a bit of gusto there. Awesome ‼️ I like it better than Snoclet. I'm honored Chrysanthemum, I'll keep chasing it, even if it costs more for shipping: ‼️

Japanese>English

When the bottle is opened, bam! As expected...it's a fresh and fruity aroma...and the mouthfeel is fresh, sweet, and bitter...with a hint of sourness. I'm sipping it with seared sea bream, sea bream, and seared Spanish mackerel as snacks...a little...sweet...but delicious...(^^)

I've been wanting to drink "Kabutomushi" for a long time. Almost no aroma? Sweet taste, good acidity...but the aftertaste is a little bit bothersome? It is certainly delicious, but...is it my favorite? Not my cup of tea. ....

Japanese>English

慎ぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐぐ This is the first time I had the popular beetle 😀. Almost no aroma. It's a little carbonated and a little acidic. It's a bit too refreshing and a bit lonely. It's a good sake to gulp down in summer 😀.

Japanese>English

After a night shift, I went out to hunt for kabutomushi and caught it safely😁. I've been drinking a lot of Senkou, but this is my first Kabutomushi😋. Perfect refreshment for a hot day like today🐠 As you said in your review, it's like a juice that can get you drunk 🤤 I feel good✌️. I'll definitely be getting the sparklers and red dragonflies I drank last year!

Lemon Acidity Citrusy Sweetness Invigorating Bitterness Fruity Balanced

Bunraku 3

Peach, sourness, and a carbonation-like smell. As the temperature rises, the sugary-sweet smell and alcohol taste grows. Slightly effervescent, the fruity flavor expands as it is swirled in the mouth. It has a sense of rice, sweetness, pear-like acidity, and a mellow, bitter umami. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. Bunraku is delicious. Cheap. I will buy it again. Second day. Alcohol 16%. Not low alcohol. Fruity mouthfeel with a unique acidity, crisp and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Smells like unsweetened peaches, pool, grass, alcohol, mango. Slightly slightly carbonated, sweet juicy, zesty and uniquely sour. Good. Feels pulled in by what you ate just before. At about room temperature, it's gentle and tastes like lemon water, easy to drink and delicious. Second day. The acidity is more fruity. It is more coherent and easier to drink than yesterday's. The smell is sweet and sour.

Japanese>English

Lightly fruity smell. Tossed with a little sourness, then pear, daisy, honey lemon, grapefruit. The bitter and fruity taste, the unique acidity, and the hard water? The complex flavor of the hard water is very good, and it has a broad range of taste. The sweetness is the most obvious and refreshing. The combination of bitterness and fruity, flavorful and fruity, is addictive. None of them are overly assertive. It is so easy to drink that you gradually want to drink it in one gulp. I think I will finish it today or tomorrow!

Sake drinking party with company people 🍶 Soba noodle shop? I brought my own sake to the restaurant. We also deposited Yuma, a souvenir from Fukuoka. I'll leave the evaluation to the Kyushu people, but all the participants were oohing and ahhing. Where can I buy it?" I was asked where I got the information, but I kept my mouth shut about Sake-no-wa.

Japanese>English

Tonight, in our first series, we have Yuma, brewed by Shichiyou Shuzo from Fukuoka Prefecture✨. The specs are: 100% Yamadanishiki, 60% polished rice, 13% alcohol. The sake is light cloudy and a bit thick. The aroma and taste is easy to drink with sweetness and sourness of white peach🍑😋😋😋 with a clean aftertaste, this is going to be very popular🤗.

(Holly::.) ...:∵buhahaha🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Last night I went fishing for red squid 😀 I caught more than last time, but not as many as usual 😓This time I caught 18 squid and the terminal price was about 380 yen per fish, which is a price I can easily eat 😭 Today we had sashimi of the red squid we caught and Ryuki 😄The aroma is mild and apple-like 😭. The aroma is mild and apple-like 😭The sweetness and umami of rice spreads in the mouth, followed by sourness 😊The aftertaste is not persistent as the sweetness seems to disappear gradually 😊It was a delicious sweet and tasty sake 🥰.

With a hint of Muscat-like character, Impressive ✨ with a lightness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku. Delicious 😋.

After work, have a drink 🍶✨. Light and definitely the right 👍 for a mealtime drink!

Japanese>English

A single-bottle of ginjo fresh-stored sake from a brewery in Higashinada (Narumi). Very pleasant sake quality. It's the season of hydrangea👍.

Japanese>English

The rice used is Yamadanishiki from the Sato Plantation in Sosa City. It is said to be free of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agricultural chemicals. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is citrusy with a crisp, bitter taste. Overall, it is a refreshing summer sake. It is well-balanced and can be drunk easily. The yeast seems to be different from last year's, and judging from the other reviews, it may be a different one. (It's also possible that my taste buds are wrong...) If that's the case, I look forward to it every year! This year's was my favorite type❣️.

A very light, fizzy and happy drink. I will drink it again! Thanks

We opened Aizu Summer. Light and elegant, with a gentle sweetness and a slight bitterness. It has a nice sharpness and is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking!

Japanese>English

When buying Aizu sake, I was attracted by the words "Dry Honjozo". The simple name "Aizu" also intrigues me👍. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was mineral and clear. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. The dry, refreshing taste is balanced by the sweet, astringent acidity and the umami of the rice. Although it is a regular honjozo, it has a delicate, gorgeous flavor, perhaps due to the 60% rice polishing ratio, which makes it one rank above other dry honjoze! The soft and clean part is reminiscent of "Ding" ✨. It is also very cost-effective and tastier than I expected...! You can clearly feel that it is well-known as a local sake. I would love to drink it with codfish stew 🤤.
