50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

After finishing the half marathon today...I drank it again and it was delicious...I knew it was Niigata sake, because it is undiluted, so it has a smooth, light and dry taste...it was delicious...I drank a lot of it at the party, but Niigata sake has a lot of potential...I felt it again...it is a very good sake...it is a very good sake...

Had at Ron of Japan at Alex’s and my 10th wedding anniversary dinner. It was easy to drink, smooth, and had that classic Niigata dryness. Yum!

Tomorrow we will begin our expedition to the Kansai region 🚄. I'll be drinking a lot again, so while I'm at it, I'll organize my past alcoholic beverages. I finally got this one that I couldn't find in my neighborhood. Kikusui Nama Sake Fresh, but with a strong Kikusui-like flavor 🥰. This is delicious👍 I want to stock up on a few bottles 😁.

Purchased at Ponshukan in Nagaoka Station. The aroma is pineapple-like sourness. Yet the mouthfeel is not sour, but sweet with a hint of astringency. It is really easy to drink. This is a nice cup sake.

I didn't drink it myself today, as it was my sobriety day. Instead, I selected this bottle for my father-in-law. Kikusui Dry (recommended by the brewer). A crisp, light and dry sake from Niigata. It is crisp and clean at room temperature. It is a classic type that is perfect for an evening drink at home. The specs are as follows. 👩‍🦰 My wife gave it a 9: "It's good." 👨‍🦳 Father-in-law gave it 8-9 points: "On a scale of good to excellent, it's excellent. I see. ...... My father-in-law, who has been drinking sake for decades, and my wife, who has enjoyed it with him, prefer it. It is different from the "gassy" and "umami" type sake that I have been drinking, It was a bottle that made us realize once again that it is a royal road of "light and dry" + "aruzome" + "good taste at room temperature".

Red It's true! I can see why this one is more expensive! Maybe it's dense! It has a slight sweetness to it, too! Not as upper jaw as the fruity one! It's slightly sweet and easy to drink! I can feel the spiciness on my upper jaw though!

Yellow. I understand the description of this one as "fruity"! It's a one-cup, so it has a refreshing taste, but the Ozeki one-cup I just had was much more refreshing and spicy! I wonder if this one has a softness in the mouth and then spreads? I can tell it's fruity even when I go back to it!

I get drunk after half a cup, so I have a little bit every day and am almost finished with it. It was delicious! A friend recommended heating sake, so I think I'll try heating it up at the end. The moment I put it in my mouth, there was a spiciness from the alcohol, and at first I didn't feel any sweetness, but after a little over a month, I started to feel the sweetness. It's interesting how the same sake can be perceived differently depending on your physical condition and food.
