純米の虜
This is the one I went to buy Rokuroji's purple label but was dumped because it was sold out, so I bought it instead. It is a nama-shu, so it has freshness and sharpness, but I felt that its coarseness was noticeable. I can say that this is the character of this sake, but I remember that it was a little out of my taste.

純米の虜
I bought this sake because it is another brand of Nakagawa Shuzo, which makes "Koshinohakugan" and because of its cool blue bottle. However, it was different from what I was expecting: it was a clear, refreshing sake with a clean aroma. It has a delicious rice flavor, but it specializes in being refreshing, so I think it can be paired with all kinds of food.

This sake was also a gift from my partner. The aroma is a bit Suntory, with just a hint of fragrance, and it has a moderate acidity and umami without any gasiness, making it a superb food sake that is easy to finish.

純米の虜
This is a sake that my partner bought for me as a souvenir from Hokkaido. It was my first sake from Hokkaido. I remember how impressed I was with the taste of sake from Hokkaido. It had a rich aroma, a smooth texture, a clean taste, and just the right amount of sharpness. From then until now, it has always been one of my favorite sake.

純米の虜
This is a commemorative bottle of Taiyozakari's Senami Onsen 10020th Anniversary Sake. I purchased this bottle last year, so my memory of the taste is hazy, but I remember that it had a fruity aroma and a full flavor and sweetness that lingered in the mouth long after drinking. I personally regret that my memory of whether or not there was any difference in taste between the regular version and Oyomori, so I would like to try the regular Oyomori as well.

純米の虜
This one on the left in the photo is Drunken Whale. Is it a famous sake? It is a very dry sake with no lingering aroma, which is what we generally call dry sake with no lingering aroma. It is a perfect food sake, too dry to drink by itself. It has a complex flavor, but the spiciness comes first, so it is a sake that can be liked or disliked.

純米の虜
This one on the right is Tsururei Yamadanishiki. Tsururei is originally a beautiful mid-palate sake, but this one has an added umami flavor. It goes well with soy sauce, so I think it is best served with Japanese food in general.

純米の虜
This is Hakkaiyama Nama-no-Harazake. I think I chose this one because it was purchased in the summer, so it was easy to drink. I honestly have no memory of the taste, but I think it is a food sake that does not leave a lingering aftertaste in a good way.

This is another sake I ordered at a local izakaya. This one gives the impression of being sharp and sharp, with a watery but moderately pungent acidity and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The vigorous flavor is only apparent when the sake is served cold, and I feel that changing the temperature has the potential to bring about a different flavor.

純米の虜
This is a watery sake I ordered at a local tavern. It is a regular sake, but it does not have the smell of brewer's alcohol, and I appreciate its softness, especially in this price range. The aftertaste is clean, with no aftertaste.

This one on the left in the photo will be Rich Heart's Autumn Hariri. Like Tonari no Mochi Junmai, it is from the Joetsu district. The taste has a mild aroma, moderate acidity, no gasiness, and a firm umami flavor. There is a sharpness at the end, so there is not much of a lingering taste. It depends on your taste, but I think it is in the category of delicious sake. However, the acidity level increased with time, so it is best to finish it as soon as possible.

This sake, pictured on the right, is made from 100% glutinous rice. It is a sake with the full flavor, sweetness, and softness of glutinous rice. After purchasing another bottle, I noticed that the taste of the sake depends on the quality of the base rice, but I think it is a good sake with a fullness of flavor, the deliciousness of the rice itself, and depth of flavor that cannot be felt with ordinary sake rice.

This sake, on the left in the photo, was also bought at the hotel for drinking. I had high expectations for this sake because it is produced by Imanishi Shuzo of Mimuro Sugi, but as the name suggests, it was a dry sake and not very Nara-like. I had the impression that it had a strong sense of not being Nara.

This one on the right in the photo is a sake that I purchased to enjoy at the hotel during my trip to Nara to learn more about Nara's sake. I don't remember much of the taste, but I got the impression that it had a clear, un-Nara-like sake flavor, so I don't think I'll have it next time.

This one on the right in the photo is a samorosugi for use in Nara Prefecture. It is made using the traditional Bodai yeast, and I think this one is rougher, darker, and more sharp than the Mimurosugi, which is made in the Hiragana style. I only remember that both were delicious and I would like to drink them again.

純米の虜
This one on the left in the photo is Mimuro Sugi for out-of-prefecture buyers, which I bought as a souvenir when I traveled to Nara. I think this was the first bottle that got me hooked on Nara's sake. It has a soft and mellow aroma and flavor, and is so easy to drink that you can drink it as much as you want. It is a sake that is not available locally, so I would like to visit Nara again to enjoy it.

純米の虜
This is a sake that I purchased after visiting a sake brewery and tasting it during a trip to Kyoto. This sake is labeled "kouji-mashimashi," so its umami flavor may be stronger than normal, but the aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is about medium. I did not feel any sweetness. The acidity was quite strong. The sake has a complex flavor in the mouth and is sharp, so it is likely to be liked by those who are not satisfied with monotonous flavors.

純米の虜
This one on the right is a rare limited edition sake made from Junmai white malted rice. I was wondering whether to buy it or not after tasting it at my favorite liquor store, when I was offered it because there were only a few bottles left. I don't like the taste of "Hyakudanbara" itself because it has a strong habit, but this sake made with white malted rice has a complex and unique flavor. It is one of the most difficult sakes to decide when to buy because the taste is affected by the quality of the rice of the year.

This one on the left is a Junmai Daiginjo from Hakkaizan. Hakkaiyama has a rich, robust flavor with a graceful finish that quickly fades away. It is basically a food sake that goes well with Japanese food.

This is also a sake that I got through a hometown tax payment. The taste...I don't know...I remember it being overshadowed by other delicious sake. I think it was a light sake with a moderate sweetness.
