It has a matured sake-like aroma, a robust flavor, and a deep caramel-like sweetness. However, in the second half, the taste quickly fades away and the sake never gets tired.

Three types of Kanazawa sake to compare at a standing bar in Kanazawa Station. They asked us to drink the three types of sake, from left to right: Nama, Junmai Daiginjo, and Daiginjo. I think 3,000 yen is a bit expensive for this amount of sake. I think I prefer the raw one the best.

Gohyakumangoku
Classic type. Impression of solidity. Complex fruity on the palate, with hints of muscat and caramel. The middle taste is full-bodied. Aftertaste is clean.
A solid and tasty sake. A good drink when you want to get drunk at a reasonable price.

I got it at a certain liquor store in Saitama. They seem to have started to sell it recently. This is the first sake from the Naohiko Noguchi Institute.
It has a mild taste, but just as I thought it would be mild, a heavy feeling follows.... It has a profound feeling as if you were drinking an old whiskey.... I drank it chilled, but it would also be delicious at room temperature or warmed. It was a sake with depth.

The aroma is mild and the alcohol content is a solid 20%, but it is easy to drink. It is very good as a food sake. I have always wanted to try a sake made by Mr. Naohiko Noguchi, and now I finally have. It is also cosmetically pleasing!

At a local liquor store a while ago,
Such a great, affordable Naohiko Noguchi! I thought it was the real thing 🧐 and brought it home.
And the one I brought home.
A new line of sake called Kanagaso (but it's been around for a while now, I just didn't know about it 😅)
It's 100% Gohyakumangoku and is alu-sweetened
2022 vintage, 2023 production, 2025 shipping
And 20 degrees alcohol? I'll be 🫨 mindful and get to it 😤.
A bit strong.
It's rather dry?
As you drink it, the sourness starts to kick in.
A bit bitter and grapefruit-like?
On the second day, it is a little refreshing.
Maybe it's because of the strong alcohol content, or maybe it's the way the alcohol leaves the nose.
But the strong taste remains the same.
Sake-like? Sake or rice? I can feel it.
It's better than the first sip as you drink more.
Delicious 😋.

Good morning, Takashi 😃.
I've only had two drinks at a sushi restaurant outside 🥲I was high alu then too, but I think it went down smoothly 😌 but drinking at home at 20 degrees makes me feel like "Come on! I'll be like 😅The result is delicious👍.

Good morning, Jay & Nobby😊.
Generally, Naohiko Noguchi's sake seems to be expensive. However, I don't drink much 20 degrees, so I'm a little bit nervous about it. But other than the first sip, it went down smoothly 😝.

This sake was given to me as a gift. It has been sitting in the refrigerator for a while. The alcohol content is 18% Miyamanishiki 76% and Yamadanishiki 24%. It is a dry, classical sake, and 100ml is just right for a little drinking.

The taste of rice spreads in the mouth at once.
It doesn't look light and bitter, but it tastes bitter. A little bitterness remains.

A gift.
Mature wine type of 2019 vintage.
Shaoxing sake from the aroma.
Taste is full of amino acids and the flavor of aged rice. The acidity is also strong.
I would drink it with something with a strong flavor.
