Hiramatsu Shiboritate 60
For a Junmai Ginjo, the aroma and taste are rather subdued.
But this is not so bad.
It has no peculiarities, so it's just plain delicious. It goes well with meals.

A gift. Thank you for giving it to me.
My first sparkling sake was a flax cat.
I've heard there are some that don't sparkle, but this was a winner.
It took a few minutes for the bubbles to settle down.
The unique aroma and fizziness of Shinsei is a nice touch.
The bubbles are so fine that it's really like champagne.
Personally, I think it has more impact than No.6.
However, it diminishes quickly. (laugh)
Shinsei is easy to drink.

Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Original Sake Kame no O
It is transparent and sweet.
There is not much bitterness, and it disappears easily.
There is no alcohol smell, and the aroma is gorgeous and natural.
It is delicious. Basically, I like Kame-no-o.
When time passes after opening, the flavor changes a little.
It is also delicious, but I prefer it when it is freshly opened.

Anyway, the aroma is good. I drank it in a wine glass, but I wanted to keep my nose in it.
The taste is clear and elegant. It has a modern impression. It has a little sourness and bitterness, but it also has a good flavor. It is a little spicy.
It is indeed delicious. It is a good sake.
Also, there is little change after opening, and it is stable. I wonder if this is because it is fire-aged.
However, when I drank this, I felt that I like sweet sake. There is a difference between good taste and taste.

A beautiful drink.
I drank it in a wine glass.
It has no peculiarity and the transparency is outstanding.
However, it is not too light.
It has a solid taste and can be used as a food wine.
It is decreasing and decreasing.
It's a drink you won't want to miss.

Very straightforward taste. Juicy taste of rice.
Not much of a seme smell and a lightness that I personally like.
The kind of sake you can't stop drinking.
This was my first sake from Hokkaido.

Ake no Tsubasa Rarigari 2021
Sweetness, oriental mellowness and gastronomy.
It's my personal favorite.
On the second day, the sweetness gets stronger and it's like a banana.
However, the aftertaste cuts through quickly, so I don't get bored.
It diminishes faster than usual.
The third day, the bitter taste came out. I'm sure there are some people who like this, but I personally prefer it when it's freshly opened.

I see, this is a popular taste and aroma.
It's not strong like sake, it's really delicate.
It has a sweetness and clarity, and also an oak (wooden vat?) The aroma of oak (wooden vat?) is also unique like wine. But it is also modest in a good way.
I can understand why people drink it in a wine glass. In general, it is an elegant and modern sake.
It is just as the label design suggests.
It tastes as good as its reputation.
However, because it is so beautiful, it didn't have that much of an impact on me personally.
This could just be that I drink too much good sake...
That said, it's definitely a five star. I'd buy it if it was on sale at the regular price.

It has the juiciness of a new sake, but it has a strong semedyne smell to me. People who like sake will like it, but people who don't like sake will not like it.

This is the first Tenmei that my friend in Aizu sent me because I couldn't find it in my neighborhood.
My personal favorite. It's a perfect strike.
I can't get enough of the popping sound when I open it and the swooshing sensation when I put it in my mouth.
The top clear is clear and crisp.
If you mix it, it becomes a little mellow and both are delicious.
Personally, I like the ori-garami.
The aroma and taste are not so strong, but it leaves a great impression.
It is neither sweet nor spicy in a good sense.
It has a really clear taste of rice.
The aftertaste is also refreshing, and I understand very well what the label says about "transparency and acidity" and "never getting tired of it".
Even on the second and third day, it is as delicious as ever.
Personally, this is already the best of the year.
Maybe I should have bought this in a bottle...

Junmai Ginjo
Definitely fruity and juicy acidity.
The sake is crisp, masculine and kind of cool.
It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink, just like its reputation.
It doesn't give the impression of being spicy.
It's not sweet, but it goes well with meals and everything.
The impression of the name "Pure Black" is perfect.
However, if you want to use it as a sake during a meal, I personally prefer to use Yukino Kayasha.
I'd like to try a different Yamamoto.

The first Eikoh-fuji is platinum. It has a clear and daiginjo-like aroma. It has a fruity taste and aroma. It is sweet because of the sake degree -9, but it is crisp and does not leave a sweet taste. After swallowing, you can feel the alcohol as a beautiful sweetness.
It is a very elegant and beautiful sake. This is delicious.
If you want to use it as a sake-within-a-sake, it would be good with good sashimi or oshinko. I would like to drink it lightly with something tasty.
But it is easy to drink. When you put it in your mouth, it has a sweet flavor and a very refreshing aftertaste, so it will be gone before you know it...

It is sweet like a dessert wine. But it has the taste of rice and a refreshing aftertaste. It is unusually easy to drink. There is no smell of sake at all.
After you swallow it, it disappears as easily as water.
It is sweet and delicious. But the taste is clear and crisp. It is like honey. I didn't know that Koshihikari polished rice (90%) could make such a clear taste. Sake is mysterious.
As the day goes by, it becomes mellower and sweeter. When it gets to this point, it may not go well with meals. It's like a dessert. But it has the taste of rice.
I'm not sure if it's right to call it sake. That's the feeling.
(Basically, it's delicious)

OCEAN99 Nagi Spring misty Usu-nigori Unfiltered Raw Sake
This is my first OCEAN99 since I missed it in winter. The sweetness is not so strong.
It has a fresh taste like grapefruit. It's not something I want to keep on hand, but it's good because it's seasonal.
I would love to drink it again next season.

Tastes as good as its reputation. It is a watery sake in the good sense of the word, just the way I like it. It has a clear taste without a strong aroma. But it's solid. Some reviews say it's best as a food sake, but I agree. It's delicious no matter what you're eating.
It's a bit sweet, but the aftertaste is very refreshing. It's easy to drink and it's gone in no time.
I've heard that it tastes better when it's heated, so I'd love to try that too.

DSK, nice to meet you ️.
The balance of the drink is better when it's heated, and I personally recommend it ✨Kayasha is a sake that can be enjoyed before, during, or after a meal 🌃.

Nice to meet you, T.KISO. It's really well balanced. I can see why it can be enjoyed before, during, or after dinner. I'll have to try a fire-roasted drink!

Mansakunohana純米吟醸 生原酒 荒ばしり
DSK
It is a new sake with full of freshness. It's like rice juice.
I especially like it freshly opened. It is sweet and the taste of rice is strong.
However, as time goes by (when there is not much left), the bitterness becomes stronger. In a sense, it's natural because it's a light nigori, but I think you can feel the change strongly because it's so fresh.
I'd like to try the middle gummi too.

Zaku新酒2020 純米大吟醸
DSK
Delicious. Fresh, rice sweet, juice like. It is easy to drink with a light feeling. You can't help but gulp it down. Personally, I like it very much.
Drinking it in a wine glass is also addictive. You can enjoy the aroma alone.
This is the first time I drank this wine, but I was surprised that it was so fresh even if it was fire-aged.
I want to buy this every year. It is a happy sake to drink.

Takasago山廃 純米吟醸 山田錦
DSK
When I drank it freshly opened and chilled, it seemed a bit peculiar, but the brewer's website said it was best lukewarm, so I tried it and was right. I tried it lukewarm, and I was right. The corners were removed and only the flavor remained. It was delicious.
It has a different flavor from the sweetness of the rice, but is this the flavor of Yamahai?
After letting it sit for a week or so, it became even mellower, and I enjoyed it lukewarm. It has the kind of taste that makes you want to drink it when you're drinking fresh sake. I like it as a sake-within-a-sake, and it's good to have a bottle on hand.

Light cloudy sake
The day we bought it, we had pizza for dinner, and we thought it was a mistake, but surprisingly, it goes well with pizza. The sake itself is muddy, so it seems to go well with cheese. It's true that red wine has a smoky taste that goes well with cheese, so it might be the same. My wife who was with me also said it goes well with cheese, so she was probably right.
The sake itself is soft, sweet, and easy to drink. Even if you're not used to drinking sake, you'll enjoy it.

Over the years 2020-2021.
Very gorgeous aroma and taste. But the aftertaste is refreshing.
This is what good sake should be like.
But personally, I like my sake more watery.
I felt the aroma was a little strong.
In general, it seems to be more highly rated.
