I bought this one after tasting it with Daikoku Masamune at Yamamoto Sake Shop in Kuise and wondering about it. I had tasted Tomikunaga in the past, but this was the first time I bought it. This is a rice called Yatanso, which is used only by Tomikunaga. It has just the right amount of gas and sweetness. Not too sweet, but just the right amount. It is like the sweetness and umami of rice. Balanced type. I would like to try other types of rice.

Japanese>English

This sake is brewed by Miho Imada, who was selected as one of the "100 Women of the Year" in 2020. I've been wanting to try this sake for a long time because of its high reputation in magazines and without any special glasses. The first sip was soft and clear like water, and then I felt the sharpness. On the second sip, you can taste the umami and acidity. There is also a slight pleasant bitterness at the end. It is characterized by the softness of soft water and a clean mouthfeel with no miscellaneous flavors. And yet, it is a modern dry taste with a wide range of flavors, which I personally like very much and it's really delicious! The aroma and taste are not strong, so it doesn't seem like there is a "this" kind of weapon, but it has no peculiarities and anyone can enjoy it, so I take my hat off to its broad-mindedness. You can drink it all the time... or infinitely. I am also amazed at its wide range of defenses, going very well with greasy dishes like fried foods and crisp salads. To use a baseball player's analogy, it's like Shuta Tonosaki of the Seibu Lions, who can defend any position at a high level.

Japanese>English

The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is slightly fruity, but the aftertaste is clean. We enjoyed it very much.

I am amazed that rice can give this flavor 😳. It is aged in wine barrels, so you can taste the peculiar flavor of red wine 🍷. The taste is very intense and the sake level is -23 degrees, but thanks to the strong acidity, it is not sweet like a juice, but has a sharp taste 😊. It would go well with a dark meal 🍖🍛. It was delicious. It costs 3,000 yen for 500ml, but I would recommend this new type of sake 💸.

Japanese>English

I drank WAKAZE for the first time. It is a white wine with strong acidity and a little sweetness.... It is a little bit different from so-called sake in the category of "other brewed sake" (because it contains herbs? (Is it because it contains herbs as ingredients?) I think it is better to enjoy it as an occasional stimulant. ("THE BOTANIC"...you mean "botanical", right?)

Japanese>English

Aged in oak barrels Sake rice: Koji rice: Yamagata Prefecture, Izuwanosato Kake rice: Sake no Hana (Yamagata Prefecture) Rice polishing: Koji rice 60%, Kake rice 55 Alcohol: 15.9 Acidity: 3.1 Sake Degree: -23 Yeast: Association No. 7 It is said to be a brand from a sake brewery in Sakata City. Strong oaky aroma at the top and quite sweet on the palate. Since I was drinking it without a meal, it was a bit sweet on its own, and to be honest, it didn't go down well with me... It is a sake with a meal (western food) 🍶.

The third drink outside is Honkin😆. Dry Taichi Clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. It was perfect as a sake for a meal with a nice sharp taste.

Japanese>English

Honkin Normal Sake Yellow Label 1,800ml Alcohol added sake, koji rice 60%, kake rice 70%. This was purchased when we tasted it at the brewery last November. After six months had passed, the umami flavor seemed to have taken over. I think it was more smooth when it was first shipped. It was stored in a hallway with a refrigerator pan, so we will enjoy it before it gets too hot. I think I like it better when it returns to room temperature than when it is cold.

Japanese>English

As the name suggests, it is characterized by its clear acidity. From the moment you put it in your mouth to the last lingering taste, it has a beautiful sourness and freshness, and the sweetness does not interfere with the taste, which is very delicious. You can't go wrong with any of Nagano's sakes, so you can't help but want to buy it.

It is very fruity because of the use of CEL-24. However, it is not as sweet as Kameizumi, Toyonoubai, or Kaygetsu. It is sweet and bitter. The other one I haven't tried is Bikuyo's CEL-24. I think it's a little bit sweet and bitter like Shibotan's CEL.

I'm opening them all up because they are overstocked😅. I couldn't buy it last year and have been waiting for a year. The one I had at the Japanese sake festival was very subtle so I wanted to make sure 🤔. Fresh and fizzy. It has little sweetness, but the gasiness on top of the bitterness is very nice. I'd like to try the sake made with Kame-no-o that comes out around spring.

It is quite a good taste. It is a taste with a sense of gravity that cannot be described.

Had this special high grade sake from Oujiman brewery. It has a 6% rice polishing ratio!! I loved its mellow fruity notes and a elegantly clean finishing, it keeps tempt you to drink it. I'll definitely buy this again next time.

I drank it in a wine glass. As written, it has a strong aroma of banana and melon, and the melon aroma is very much present in the mouth. Later, I tried it hot, and it was very easy to drink, with a mellowness and sweetness that increased.
