The flavor is on top but sharp. It can be enjoyed as a mealtime drink or on its own. Too bad the lid is incredibly hard to open. You can break your fingernail.
Very good sake! It has a delicious flavor that is typical of Japanese sake, but is not dull. It is delicious on its own or with a meal. Modern and not too modern in a good sense. Highly recommended.
Unfiltered unpasteurized sake Yamadanishiki
It has a very beautiful taste. It has a very beautiful taste, yet the umami flavor is well balanced. High quality both as a food sake and as a sake to drink on its own.
It goes without saying that the level of sake in Chiba in recent years has been high, but this sake is especially delicious. I almost feel guilty that sake of this quality is so reasonably priced.
A great product brewed with Fukuoka's Jukinmu sake rice. The sense of balance between sweetness, deliciousness, and sharpness is extremely good. It is very modern. It is very Kyushu-like (although it is made in Yamagata).
Most sake in Kanagawa is dry. However, Afuri has a modern sweet and sour taste with a lot of rice texture. It is delicious. I heard that it was made by a person who bought a sake brewery from a different industry and entered the business. No wonder.
A rather rare sake rice is used in this product. It has a nice lush aroma. It has a robust flavor but is easy to drink, and can be enjoyed with a meal or on its own.
La Maison You can get it in a slightly better supermarket, it is reasonably priced, very drinkable, and goes well with food. Total great sense of balance.
A new sake just released in December 2022. It is delicious on its own, but I have the impression that it is more enjoyable as a food sake. The flavor is not too strong, so it does not detract from the food, but rather assists it exquisitely.
Hokko Trial 031 Hitogokochi Junmai Ginjo: ALL white yeast
Only 180 bottles of this trial series exist. It is good on its own, but it goes well with warmed sake. It has a profound flavor, but is not bitter at all. A good sake.
It has the ease of drinking that is typical of junmai daiginjos, but it also has a strong umami and full-bodied flavor. It is easy to pair with sushi, for example, and can also be drunk on its own.
It has a rich umami flavor that is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It has a full-bodied taste, but it is not dull. It is so delicious that you can continue drinking it on its own.
