YK35, Koshi-tanrei Both are dry and sharp. YK35 has a sharper sharpness. A few days after opening the bottle, it will become rounder and you can enjoy the difference in taste.

There is almost no aroma, and the mouthfeel is smooth, with only a hint of sweetness and a slight sourness. Although there is some alcohol in the aftertaste, it disappears gently and refreshingly like water. Light like water. When heated, it goes down your throat even more easily without any alcohol. This lightness is unparalleled. Alcohol content 15%. Sake meter meter +5.5 Acidity 1.3 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Purchased at Ponshu-kan Nagaoka Station. I wanted to drink it at Ponshu-kan, but they were out of stock or something. It has almost no aroma. It has a slight pineapple-type ginjo aroma. It has sweetness, astringency, and umami, in that order. It is easy to drink, but the umami taste lingers afterwards.

Purchased by my father (mail order from Nishikiya Sake Shop in Niigata City) It is an original sake of Nishikiya Sake Brewery. The first sip is fresh and clear, followed by the sweetness of the rice. It goes down the throat quickly and smoothly with no aftertaste. It is perfect for a mid-meal drink with a Hokusetsu-like mouthfeel.

I drank it at the inn on Sado Island and enjoyed it so much that I bought a slightly better one as a souvenir. It's called YK35, which is a bit pretentious and stylish. It is sweet and fruity with a slightly spicy aftertaste. It is my favorite sake so far!

> 100% Koshitanrei sake rice produced on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture is used. It is a "farm rice that nurtures living creatures" certified by Sado City to create an environment where crested ibis can coexist in harmony. The rice is cultivated with reduced use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, making it friendly to wild creatures. It is characterized by its full flavor and crisp aftertaste.

It is mellower and sweeter than YK35, but not as spicy. People who like sweet may like this one better.
