じじIn her essay "Late Night Sake Reviews," Seiko Yamauchi, a sake master in her own right, praised it highly for its unobtrusive yet unique depth. I bought it on a business trip to Gunma, but since it is recommended to drink in chilly weather, I decided to drink it. It has a slightly yellowish, sweet, acidic, and rich taste. It is just barely balanced without being overpowering. Many people on the internet recommend heating it up, but I prefer it at room temperature.

ごうIt has a moderate grain aroma and a light sense of maturity with a hint of lactic acidity. From cool to chilled, it has a slightly rounded texture, with a stringy acidity and a soft umami with a moderate sweetness, and from the mid-palate, it is crisp with a deep complexity, with a light bitterness and a lingering faint astringency. Overall, the flavor is strong but delicate. As the temperature goes from sunny to warm, the acidity becomes more apparent, and the bitterness also becomes more pronounced. At 60 degrees, the acidity is more noticeable, although there is some masking at 60 degrees. At 55 degrees, the acidity weakens a bit and the balance improves, and at 45 degrees, the acidity is tangy but smooth and easy to drink. Personally, I like it cold or lukewarm, and after a little time and effort, I enjoy it warmed up or cooled down after 60 degrees Celsius. It is a delicious sake this season as well.

KazuI thought it was pretty classic in terms of name and atmosphere, but I bought it because it was a very limited draft sake. At first, the freshness of the sake was more than I expected, and while it had a modern feel, the umami dryness came through! I've had a lot of light and fruity sake lately, but sometimes I like something like this.

やすI had seen and heard about this brand before, and saw it at a bar I stopped by. I was told that it was recommended to be heated. I will have it heated. The aroma at the entrance was reminiscent of a light brown or dead grass, as indicated by the golden color of maturity. In the mouth, it is thick, soft and dry, with all the elements of acidity and plenty of rice flavor. The finish is gentle but firm with soft and thick acidity. This is unquestionably a tasty, matured sake of the "Namahashime" type (Yamahai). In Kansai, it reminds me of the 3 year aged Burozumi from Shiga Takashima, which I love ✨. As long as it is heated up, it can be drunk on its own or as a mealtime sake from start to finish ✨Gentle and relaxing.

Herman MokVery fresh and it comes with the sweetness of melon and banana - typical one of Namazake. But i feel the bitterness is a bit too over, with a little bit of herbal taste. I feel not very balanced, but still a fresh onr which is good to drink

みつた24A souvenir from my parents' house. It was served lukewarm. It has the same characteristic mellow aroma as the special junmai. As the temperature drops, the sweetness peeks out.

あずーAt Isobe Onsen Ryokan in Gunma. It has a mellow aroma of Yamahai, but it is not so harsh. It also has a bit of sourness. It may be an excellent food sake.

みつた24I went to my parents' house on business. I'm getting tired of sweet sake, so I have some local standard sake. It is mellow. It goes well with food. I guess this is what they mean by "food sake". It's great cold, but when heated up, the acidity stands out and it tastes great. I think I'm addicted to it.
