The second in the series of straw sakes for professional sake drinkers, it has a characteristic slightly pungent acidity and a clear yet full-bodied taste, perhaps due to its four-stage brewing process, but at 13°C it is not as easy to drink as water because of its acidity and full-bodied taste. It has a crisp aftertaste with a full-bodied rice flavor and richness, which is probably due to the use of Gekkeikan's original yeast.
A light bottle of Grui before going to bed.
A sparkling sake, Utakata, by Gekkeikan of Fushimi, Kyoto.
Purchased at a supercenter in Mino City.
It is a bottle of sake for a mealtime drink, but I tried it on its own.
The aroma is yogurt-like with a strong sourness.
The taste is a good match between the acidity and carbonation, which enhances the sweetness of the sake.
The fruity flavor is asserted, so it could be called a fruit cider.
This kind of cider is also interesting.
It is less sake-like, but I don't know if it's the sparkling sake or the improved technology, but the lack of sake that I felt in the normal version is diminished.
It was a year-end party at work.
I asked the waiter about the sake in the all-you-can-drink menu and he said it was Tsuki 🤔, but I've never had it before and I don't think I'll buy it myself, so I decided to try it.
If it wasn't all-you-can-drink, they usually have Kurehaaru and Akizuka...
Not too sweet, but not too pungent and easy to drink.
It doesn't have a big impact, but it's a well-balanced type, so it's really good during a meal...
I think it's better than Honmori or Koroshi.
We went to an izakaya with karaoke for the after-party, but I don't remember much 💦.
We stopped by Ikoma before the year-end party, but it was open on the way home, so we bought some sake and went home 🤣.
It was about 1am when I got home.
Year end party next week too 😇
As described, it has a thick mouthfeel. However, it is doubtful if it has fruitiness. There is no peachiness, a strong unpleasant alcohol taste after swallowing, and a bitter taste that interferes with the sweetness.
D-1.5
Third Fushimi purchase! A great value with a nice label. The clerk explained what I initially thought was "this one," saying, "This is a melon. The clerk explained, "This is a melon, and we also have peaches. I thought, "Well, I guess I'll have the peach," and bought this one.
I tried it and found it to be a peach. It was easy to drink. It's a juice. The time goes by while listening to Christmas songs and the Ninth Symphony. It's delicious.
Furthermore, drink Gekkeikan from Hyogo Prefecture.

Basically, Gekkeikan never fails to deliver.
We are thankful to have found a good sake.
The aroma of cooked rice is discreet. In the mouth, it has a mild umami flavor and a clean, straightforward taste. The aftertaste is short, but leaves a slight warmth. As the last bottle in this series, this bottle reaffirms the overall impression. Although it is not flashy, it has an honest and quiet pleasantness.
On the palate, gentle umami and a clean, simple profile. As the last one of this little series, it confirms the overall impression: modest, straightforward, nothing showy - but quietly pleasant in its As the last one of this little series, it confirms the overall impression: modest, straightforward, nothing showy - but quietly pleasant in its own way.
Today, I drank a Gekkeikan from Kyoto Prefecture.
One of Gekkeikan's particular selections.
Purchased at Aeon Liquor Shop in Kakamigahara City.
The aroma is a nutty ginjo aroma.
It is dry, so the sweetness is moderate. However, the sweetness of the rice lingers in the aftertaste as the umami flavor is asserted from the first sip.
Mild rice aroma with subtle floral and plum nuances. It has a soft sweetness, light acidity, and a clear sense of alcohol, with a slightly long aftertaste for a simple daiginjo. The expression of the sake suddenly changes as it enters the mouth, giving the impression that it has arrived from somewhere "behind the scenes.
Clean rice aroma with soft florals and a hint of plum. Gentle sweetness, light acidity and clear alcohol warmth, with a finish longer than expected for a A quiet little twist on the palate-almost like it came straight from the Upside Down.
