I bought it for the first time. I wondered how it would be. I thought it would be a good idea, but it is usually good looking. I reviewed it.

Today, my physical examination was successfully completed 😄. I have eaten nothing but udon and tofu for the past two or three days. Naturally, I stopped drinking yesterday. I had my favorite yakitori (grilled chicken) and sake, Gekkeikan's "Junmai-shu" which is delicious with soda. It's a sake that goes well with summer, just like Fushimi's sake, and it's served with soda! It's going to be a summer staple. ☀️ ...And a recommendation for everyone, pickled zucchini (easy to make) is delicious 😋.

Cool and refreshing. It is refreshing and easy to drink. The aroma after drinking is like cucumber. If you want to enjoy it with snacks, I recommend yam and okra salad.

Just out of curiosity. 5% is amazing, that's a lot of beer or shochu high. What is it? Yogurt-like sweetness and sourness. The sweetness is quite strong, like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine). Well, I don't think this one goes well with it.

I bought it because I received a coupon from Famima. It doesn't have much of a sake feel to it. But I guess that's about it.

Sweet aroma with some citrus flavor. Tastes citrusy as well. As the label says, sweet and juicy. There is an astringent aftertaste. No residual sweetness, so it is easy to drink. Delicious.

60%, 15-16 degrees. A refreshing aroma with a hint of acidity on the other side of the round sweetness of rice. Refreshing mouthfeel with acidity. The flavor of rice lingers on the tongue. The aftertaste is a little bitter at the back of the throat. It goes well with meals.

Finally made it to Japan! We are visiting Kyoto first and wanted to make sure we toured at Gekkeikan Ōkura Sake Museum. The tour was brief but very pleasant with a great video on sake production. We tried almost every sake available and they were all very good! We had to get a bottle of the “retro” style Ginjo. I heard the older style was different and I was very excited to try it. It is sweet in a good way that isn’t overpowering and I wanted to capture the experience by purchasing a bottle.

Literally, it is a sweet sake with a fruit-like feel. Nevertheless, the aftertaste does not linger, and the sharpness of the sake is a quintessential Japanese sake. It is a brand I would definitely like to try again.
