I had a drink at a nearby Sushiro.
It was a clean, refreshing sake that did not interfere with the taste of the sushi.
It went in like water and had no peculiarities, good or bad.
Personal Satisfaction: ★★★☆☆☆☆
Purchased at a supermarket.
As it is a fresh sake, it turns a little darker after opening the bottle.
I think I prefer it when it's fresh because it's easier to drink.
Sake with all-in sugar, acidifiers, etc. Recommended for cold brewing. If it is too warm, the acidity will increase, so lukewarm heating is recommended to bring out the flavor and aroma. Since it is this time of year, I often drink it with soda water.
965 including tax (2L)
I read in a magazine that sake highballs are all the rage...(or was it Danchu...)
As I recall, it was Gekkeikan.
It was on sale at a local supermarket, so I bought it.
I think it was about 250 yen.
I immediately opened the bottle.
Hahaha 🤪 I'm laughing 🤣.
It's 7% ALC.
It's "for adults who don't want to be sweet"?
That's sweet!
It tastes like a diluted carbonated version of the current trend.
Gekkeikan, wouldn't it be better to sell the original sake?
I guess they release this kind of sake because it doesn't sell well...
Well, this is for sake beginners.
I guess it's good for beginners to get a rough idea of what sake is like.
Good luck, Nihonmori!
Your wife is Obanazawa Suica (^^) shochu high!
(I didn't know there was such a thing.)
I drink it 🍉.
Yesterday, when I was on a business trip to Akita, I finished work in the morning, so I went to a popular restaurant to eat 🍜&hormone.
I got takeout from a popular restaurant.
Drink cold
The aroma is of rice and light alcohol.
The taste has sweetness and strong umami at the beginning and light acidity and alcohol at the end.
The main flavor is umami, and the sake is easy to drink for its 19% alcohol content.

The bottle is cute and I bought it 🩷It smells good.
⬇Homepage excerpt⬇
The moment you open the lid, you'll be greeted with a gorgeous aroma.
Enjoy it in a wine glass to make dinner a special treat this evening, or simply drink it straight from the wide-mouth bottle.
Brilliant, fruity aroma
Nippon Zakari's proprietary yeast produces a sake with a high content of ethyl caproate, one of the aroma components, and a "fruity, apple-like aroma" that can be easily detected.
Wide-mouth bottle with a wide aroma spread
The 38mm-diameter mouthpiece of the bottle can allows you to enjoy the aroma that spreads out as soon as the bottle is opened.
It can be served in its container or in a glass.
Suitable for both Japanese and Western cuisine
The Junmai type, with its full and mellow flavor, goes well with solid-tasting meals such as Cobb salad and meat dishes. The honjozo type, with its clean, sharp taste, goes well with fish dishes, spring rolls, and other meals that make the most of the flavors of the ingredients.
