The preliminary information is that it is heavy, and with 80% polished rice, you can't help but expect something rich! A closer look reveals that the Alc content is 20.5%.
Jacket value... 6/10
Silver letters on a white background.
Hue ... 17/20
Hue=Light golden yellow & Alc smell that hits the nose, but it's not a bad smell as there is a slight koji taste in the back.
Sei... 18/20
The spiciness increases, but it does not give the impression of being heavy, which is due to the ample sweetness.
Turning... 16/20
The glucose is more pronounced as the Alc becomes more pronounced, and you can smell the Alc sublimation before you know it.
Consolidation ... 15/20
The aftertaste is like that of Super Fat Rye, and I still want more of a mild taste.
Cospa... 7/10
Good enough to drink.
The tingling is a good accent, and it's not too much.

It has enough SAKE-like characteristics, but there is nothing that can beat the lingering weight of koji (the feeling that it rides on the tongue) rather than the weight of the Alc derivatives.
Sake omame, so let's drink. Nama sake, 90% polished rice.
It has a golden color and a nice lactic acid aroma. It is juicier than the 80% polished rice, or rather, I feel that various flavor elements stand out while maintaining the richness.
It is a type of sake that brings out the flavor of the dish. The pickles to go with it are delicious.
2023BY New Year's Eve, so sake. Nama sake, natural sake, 80% polished rice. Alcohol 20.5% is calculated to be 30% darker than the standard product.
The aroma is softly lactic acidic. It has a soft koji sweetness and rich acidity, and its rich umami leaves a strong aftertaste.
It is best paired with strong-flavored pickles and dishes.
Katori 90 Nama Hashiroshi 2021
Katori" is my favorite sake these days. I bought Katori 80 at an organic store in Sangenjaya and became addicted to it, so I bought Katori 90. 90 means polished, of course. It is also a "sake" with a slightly matured taste.
It has a vinegar-like acidity and a mild fruity acidity, and has a refined flavor without the smell of aging.
By reducing the amount of polished rice, it is said that protein and minerals remain in the rice, which is good for the body.
I'm becoming more and more of a fan.
Rating 4.4 (out of 5.0) 20230427
The flavor of the rice is robust.
Strong acidity and sweetness. There is also a hint of astringency.
Not difficult to drink, but a complex sake with a deep flavor.
I would like to try it heated in winter.
