Izakaya near the grapevine #2 Drink cold sake Sweet aroma Rice flavor with sweetness on the palate. The dryness appears immediately after the saké, but it quickly intensifies. The dryness is noticeable when the sake is on its own. When paired with salty snacks such as kanpachi vinegared miso or chicken sashimi, the dryness is reduced considerably and the sweetness increases. Good as an in-between-dinner drink

Purchased at a liquor store in Haruyoshi, Fukuoka City (just after opening the bottle) Drink cold Clear and colorless Classic aroma The palate is full of matured and robust umami. Immediately after the umami taste, the taste is sharp. There is almost no dryness in the aftertaste, and the finish is clear. As the back label says, it has a very light and refreshing taste. When paired with tuna tataki, it washes away the fishy smell and complements the flavor of the side dish very well. It is a very fast flavor that quickly becomes sharp and is a great food sake, and quite distinctive! As it has been produced for more than 6 months, the aroma and taste may be affected.

Purchased at a supermarket Gekkeikan had been on my mind for a long time because of my impression of packaged sake (right after opening the bottle) Drink cold Mellow ginjo aroma. A strong umami flavor in the mouth. Brilliant, with a strong sharpness. Not too dry, with a clear aftertaste. Pair it with sashimi, but you don't feel much pairing. Seems to be good with French and Italian cuisine. Warmed to lukewarm The aroma is very strong. The sweetness is quite pronounced. Even if it is heated, the sweetness is still strong. Tastes better cold.
