純米の虜
I bought this sake to enjoy at a ryokan during a trip to Nagano. It has a moderate aroma and taste, and is a bit lacking for a Junmai Daiginjo. Or maybe it is just that the level of other sakes in Nagano is too high.

This is a sake I got on a trip to Nagano. I forgot what it tasted like, but I remember it was dry with a refreshing taste.

This is one of the sakes I bought as a souvenir from my trip to Nagano. This is the first Houou Mita I have ever had. I bought it based on the store clerk's advice that if I wanted to try Hououmida, I should start with this one. It was delicious! I am glad I bought it! I want to drink it again! I remember thinking, "I want to drink it again! All Hououmida is well-balanced and popular, and I can understand why.

This was another souvenir from our trip to Tottori Shimane. This sake has a fruity aroma with a good balance of sweet and savory flavors, and is very easy to drink. Be careful not to drink too much.

This is another souvenir from our trip to Tottori Shimane. It had a unique taste as well as an impactful name, and it was a hard-to-drink sake for professionals. It was amber in color like old sake, and the acidity and astringency came first. My partner said it tasted like Shaoxing wine. I have never had Shaoxing wine before.

This is another souvenir from my trip to Tottori Shimane. My memory of the taste is that it was a delicious sake that was easy to drink. It was the type of sake where you can enjoy the aftertaste without feeling the acidity so much.

This sake was also a souvenir from a trip to Shimane, Tottori.
I remember it as having a strong acidity and a mild aroma, with a medium taste at the beginning and a slightly dry taste in the latter half. As time passed, the spiciness increased and it became difficult to drink.

This is our favorite Yamae Nishiki version of Shinshu Kamerei. It is a well-balanced sake with a gorgeous aroma, soft mouthfeel, elegant flavor, and a nice smooth taste.

This is a sake that I had been curious about for a long time, but I was afraid it would be too much like wine. I told the waiter about my preferences and was told that this sake was the easiest to drink, so I bought it.
The aroma was gorgeous, but it had a strong gasiness, acidity, and a refreshing finish that made it stand out as a wine-like sake. If this is the sake that was said to be the most suitable for our tastes, I don't think we will be able to get our hands on any more of the SENKYO series.

This is Imanishi of the Imanishi Sake Brewery, famous for its Mimuro Cedar. I bought it because it had a red label, which is rare. It has a banana smell right after opening the bottle, and has a thick flavor with a bit of sourness. The smell seems to be different for different tastes, but I prefer the black label with the ginjo aroma.

This one was purchased at a local liquor store that I am familiar with. It has a mild aroma, smooth and full flavor with a good sharpness in the latter half. It is a food sake that goes well with soy sauce and is a perfect match for sashimi.

It was different from the Houou Mita I had drunk before, but I bought it without worrying because I have trust in the brewing company.
As a result, I was very satisfied. I bought a bottle and the aroma, taste, and aftertaste were all wonderful, and the sake was always of such a high level that I could enjoy the changes in taste over time. I would buy Houou Mita again if I find it again, as I am sure I can find any label for it.

This is the sake called Eikunoholic that got me hooked on Eikun. When I told the waiter about my taste in sake, he recommended this sake to me.
It has a sweet, fruity aroma, a soft throat feel, no acidity or other unpleasant tastes, and a lingering aftertaste that can be enjoyed after swallowing.

I happened to have the opportunity to go to a tasting event at the Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery, and this was the first time I learned about both the sake brewing company and the sake. The toji-san told me that he was saddened to hear that people are turning away from sake because of the level of sake sold in supermarkets, and that he created this sake in order to raise the level of sake. It is true that this sake tastes much better than other inexpensive sake, even though it is priced at 1,300 yen! Of course, you can smell the brewer's alcohol smell and taste the other flavors, but the sake is well balanced, and considering the cost performance, it is still a great sake.

This is another sake that my partner had requested. Perhaps because it was purchased in the summer, it was a sake with an emphasis on freshness at the right time of year.
It was a well-balanced and easy-to-drink sake, with a cool, refreshing taste and a vigorous mouthfeel, and only a little bit of a tangy taste in the latter half.

Here is a sake that I did not have knowledge of but my partner asked me to buy. It seems to be the basic sake in the Mansaku no Hana series. The taste is more unrestrained and sharp than I expected. It has a mild aroma and although it is a medium-bodied sake, it has a sharp impression, and I felt that it was better to drink it with food than by itself.

This is a sake that I had enjoyed when I drank it before and was eager to drink it again. It tastes mellower and easier to drink than Tokachi, which is also made by Kamikawa Taisetsu. Although the richness of the flavor is lessened by the mellowness of the sake, you can enjoy a consistent, clean taste from start to finish without any cloying flavors.

This is a Sado sake given to me by a friend. This sake has a very gorgeous and sweet aroma that you can enjoy as soon as you open the bottle. Of course, the taste is well-balanced and delicious. However, as time goes by, the acidity and dryness of the sake increases. It is recommended to drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle.
