My favorite word is "Omachi, Nama-no-Hara Sake"!
I'm setting the bar high!
Jacket value ... 8/10
Simple but high quality, with an additional point of the Japanese paper style label.
Ki ... 18/20
Strong heavy smell (Alc stimulation and heavy malted rice smell). The hue is not that mature.
The moment you drink it, you'll be surprised by the sweet flavor! The taste is a good balance of acidity and umami.
Sei... 19/20
The umami component of amino acids (what I think of as amino acids) rises, and bitterness, umami, and acidity spread from the tip of the tongue to the entire gustatory system.
Turning... 15/20
The rice-like flavor is asserted to a degree that it is not overbearing, and a sense of sharpness (I dare say) develops, but it decomposes quickly; there is a lingering aftertaste, but the sense of unity between the aroma and umami is becoming disconnected.
Yui ... 15/20
The umami component dissolves before you know it, leaving a bitter and astringent aftertaste.
Cospa ... 7/10
A heavy nuclear warhead.
The first half is good in that it gives you a disappointing taste of umami. This is what I mean by "sweet, delicious, and dry".

More fruity and firm sweet than I expected.
A little peachy.
The omachi character is in full bloom, with a bit of bitterness in the second half.
I had a bottle of this hi-ire at a sake event in Osaka and it was delicious, so I decided to buy a bottle of nama-shu and I was right.
A brief review of the 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks @ Kyoto Miyako Messe.
Yamano Sake Brewery in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture.
They brew Katano Sakura and Katano Sakura.
(The brewer, Mr. Masahiro Yamano was there.
This is a drop from Katanozakura.
It won a gold medal at the National New Sake Competition.
I told him, "I'm from Osaka, so I drink Katanozakura relatively often!" He recommended this one.
The aroma is not that memorable, but perhaps it is because it is made from a tobin (a small bottle of sake) and is made by hanging it in a bag, it has a very soft taste.
The taste is mild and conveys the sweetness and umami of the rice, yet it is not sluggish and flows smoothly through the mouth with a good sharpness.
It was a sake in which you could feel the goodness of an aluzoe daiginjo.
Speaking of Katanozakura, I had an image of Kurawanka, a slightly sparkling light nigori junmai sake, but that was simply because of my taste, and I must try this kind of authentic sake as well.
Thank you very much for the sake 🍶.
I bought it at a liquor store when I visited Osaka. It has a full-bodied, umami flavor that is typical of sake yeast yeast, but it is not too heavy and has an acidity that makes it easy to drink. When I brought it home as a gift to my parents, they all thought it was delicious and immediately ran out.

This is a rare sake with a grain aroma yet gorgeous. The umami flavor is firm and lingers in the aftertaste. The acidity is light on the palate with a robust aftertaste. This is the first sake I have tasted.
Pairing with food
Grilled pork cartilage
Vinegared saury with vinegar
Chicken Teriyaki
Edamame
Personal Favorite★★★★+☆
The umami spreads slowly with a crisp bitterness.
The bitterness is prevalent, but the bitterness skillfully envelops the rich sweetness.
It is not a sharp, sharp, sweet and delicious sake, but it is very easy to drink.

This is the first Katano-zakura.
Like Juroemon 16th Kuroemon, which we drank just before, it is a mellow type, but this one has less sweetness and more acidity like a sake yeast yeast yeast.
