This sake is brewed by four toji (master brewers) with their thoughts and feelings for each season. I always thought the label was a bonito, and that it was out of season, but it is a killer whale.
For Hiroshima residents of the Showa generation, Kamotsuru, along with Chifuku, is a brand that is etched in their souls through TV commercials and the soothing sight of turtles and carp in front of Mitsukoshi.
Hiroshima Nishiki, which I tasted the other day, has a gorgeous aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and a full flavor, whereas Saijo Shigeru has a mild aroma and a clean taste. My first impression was that it was similar to the sake brewed by Kamoizumi, also from Saijo. It is an elegant sake with no spiciness from the alcohol coming to the forefront.
Purchased at a half price sale at Daylink. It was unexpectedly made by Touji Okinaga.

Even a discounted product is a fine sake.
We will drink it well!
As it claims to be slightly dry, it tastes slightly spicy. Also, it has a strong alcohol taste. I think it is good to drink with strong flavored food. (Drinking outside)
Sake served at a reception for a university undergraduate alumni association meeting. It has a strong flavor and aroma. It goes well with all kinds of food and I never get tired of drinking it. Am I the only one who thinks it's a waste to serve it at a get-together...? 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
One cup purchased on a trip to Hiroshima.
Dark and dry! Would it go well with a slightly rich dish? I had it while imagining how delicious it would be paired with buttered oysters🤤.
I hope I can make it happen next time I'm in Hiroshima!
In addition to looking as clear as water
A sip of this sake has a deep taste and aroma that is typical of Japanese sake.
The taste is surprisingly refreshing,
It also has a slightly watery taste, making it very easy to drink.
This is the kind of sake that makes you drunk!

Good evening, Mr. Maw!
What a great sake activity while your wife is shopping 😁✨✨.
This was my first packaged sake here and I remember it being really good and a bit of a shock 😋.
Hi, ma-ki!
This time I was in Sannomiya, but I also do sake activities in my hometown while my wife is at the hairdresser's or shopping 😊 I can't do sake activities without a car in my area 😅.
I went to about 5 places including standing sake bars, so I only remember my first packet of sake being delicious 😂.
