Cute sake with a rape blossom label. Purchased because the yellow color stood out from the cherry color of most spring sakes.
It is a sharp and well-balanced sake, perfect for a mealtime drink.

At the liquor store, I asked for fragrant and recommended sake.
He recommended spring sake!

Hard water sake
Slightly dry and refreshing, with a slightly sticky aftertaste, but no sake-kasu sensation. It has a slight frizzy aftertaste, but no sake leesiness.

cold sake
Delicious sake with moderate acidity and a pleasant umami flavor.
At a store that sells naturally grown food, I found a slightly unusual colored sake and picked it up.
The bottle was opened with caution, but I opened it without incident😅.
It was quite sweet and sour, low in alcohol and easy to drink.
I think it's more like plum wine or apricot wine than sake.

Daigo no Shizuku" is a sake made by reproducing the "Bodaimoto" brewing method that originated at Bodai-san Shorakuji Temple in Nara and was developed during the Kamakura (1185-1333) and Muromachi (1333-1568) periods.
It is brewed using water called "Soyashi," which naturally contains natural lactic acid from the air and wild yeast (or "kurazakutei yeast" in sake breweries).
This is the very prototype of "Namaoto," or the starting point of sake brewing. To ensure that the sake is tasted as it is made, we do not split water or filter it at all, and each batch is bottled separately.
Since sake is brewed throughout the year, the alcohol content, sweetness, acidity, and other flavors vary with each season and each batch.

From Terada Honke, a low-polishing, Bodaihashi yeast brewed sake.
The aroma is sweet and sour with a hint of yogurt. The juiciness that does not disappoint swells up with a crisp feeling, and a deep cacao-like flavor wafts softly through the air. A slight bitterness and the delicious taste of rice rise in the aftertaste.
This is also a good sake.
It's been a long time since I've tasted a single ume (Japanese apricot), and although it's not the most fashionable and glamorous, it tastes like rice!

It is fairly mellow and has a thicker taste than the previous Tokoru!

Since the Tengu Mai didn't fill my glass, I had a little bit of Ume Ichirin Kuradashi dry sake as a service. It is refreshingly dry, but has a hint of sweetness along with a thickening taste. It's interesting because it has a mouthfeel that is not typical of sake with alcohol.
The texture is slightly thick on the tongue, and the taste is crisp, light and dry!

Toukoru Sakura Junmai-shu, 1,540 yen (4 gos. bottle)
I went to visit Sawara and got it at a nice liquor store. 3 months later, I opened the bottle tonight. ‼️
Today's snack was high rolls and cream cheese salmon from Costco! The aroma is a bit alcoholic, and the initial attack is light and easy to drink. If you're used to sake made from raw sake, it may seem a bit thin, but it's easy to drink! It's a good sake for a mealtime drink.

It has a strawberry aroma and a light strawberry taste.
The aftertaste is salty.
It has a strong alcohol taste and is a robust sake.
There is quite a lot of sakekasu (sake lees). Therefore, it is sweet. But the aftertaste is spicy. It makes you want to eat simmered dishes.

Delicious sake with a fruity mouthfeel and aroma typical of Omachi
Chomeizumi is said to be a heretic when it comes to sweet sake, but compared to Haru Ginjo, I personally preferred this one.
However, if I were to consider it for drinking at an izakaya or for regular drinking, I would probably prefer Haru-Ginjo, which I never get tired of!
I'm not sure if I'd prefer it or not.
