Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Misato Nishiki was born in the same year as me. I felt a connection with this sake because it is 100% Misato Nishiki, which was born in the same year as me. Personally, I have a strong image of Yamamoto as a very spicy sake, but at a sake strength of +2, it was perfect for summer, as it was easy to drink like water. I felt more alcohol than Omine's summer sake, which also tastes like water. It is usually served in early summer, but this year it was served at the height of summer. I asked the store owner and he recommended this one over Sunshine Yellow.

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ More effervescent than expected and easy to drink with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Like a white sparkling wine. I was told it would go well with Italian food such as cheese and tomatoes, but it is more of a carpaccio than cheese. Tomatoes go well with it. It is also good with fresh salads and bongolebianco. If you pour it into a glass and leave it for a while, the fizziness will disappear and the taste will change soon, so it is best to drink it immediately after chilling it.

Preference ★★★★★ Polishing ratio 50%. The current president of the company was trained at Takagi Shuzo in Yamagata, and the sake we purchased was a limited edition sake made from a rice called Sake Mirai developed by Takagi Shuzo. I had high expectations for this sake before opening it, and when I tried it, I found it to be extremely tasty. It is soft on the palate and has a gorgeous aroma. The sweetness and umami of the rice spread out, and it had a nice sharpness that I really liked. I want to drink it again. Today's meal Sushi Shijimi clam soup

Taste ★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Polishing ratio 60 Unfiltered, unfiltered, single shot fire-brewed sake. This is a summer edition of the Four Seasons series, which expresses the seasons with the same rice and the same rice polishing ratio. I bought this because I wanted to try a dry sake, which I don't usually choose. I expected it to be drier than I expected, but it was not at all spicier than I imagined, and I rather liked it. Later, I found out that the sake was rated at +3 on the sake scale, which is slightly drier than the sake I usually drink. The initial sweetness of the first saké accentuated the sharpness of the second saké, and the crisp, refreshing taste was perfect for the hot, humid summer. I would like to try more dry sake.

Taste ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Polishing ratio 50%. I really liked Shiboritate Senryu, so I bought this summer sake to try the other Eikofuji. It has a gorgeous daiginjo-style aroma and a sweet flavor that spreads the sweetness of the rice, but it also has a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. I drank it with a friend who does not usually drink sake, and she said it was delicious and easy to drink. I preferred the Senryu, which was sweeter and more umami, but it was also a good summer drink. Recently, I have been drinking a lot of unfiltered nama sake at festivals.

Preference ★★★★★ Polishing ratio 60 I had it with a meal, but I prefer it on its own or as a mealtime sake. There is no sake degree listed on the label, but a quick internet search suggests it is about +2. It has a mild sweetness with a bitter aftertaste when cold right out of the refrigerator, and a mild spiciness when slightly warmed up, both of which I liked. The aroma is subdued in the glass, but as soon as you put it in your mouth, its gorgeousness spreads softly, and the softness of the mouthfeel is very much to my liking. I would like to use this bottle regularly with a wide range of meals, such as rolled egg, simmered vegetables, and deep-fried tofu. Today's meal Fried sweet pepper and eggplant with pork miso Tempura of chicken with ume paste and shiso Maitake mushroom and tofu miso soup

Polishing ratio 65 Purchased because of the fireworks label. The aroma is subdued. Sourness and a hint of bitterness. It is neither sweet nor spicy (more on the sweet side?). As the name "Sarasara Junmai" suggests, it is low in alcohol and smooth. I am not sure if this is the right word, but I felt it was "thin. I preferred Nakatori No. 2, which is also a Tenmei.

Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Junmai Daiginjo Light Nigori Unfiltered Nama Sake Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku from Chiba Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Sweet and delicious. The sweetness is well perceived, but it is not a clinging sweetness, but a fresh and light sweetness that quickly disappears. There is no sense of gas, and you can only feel it on the tip of the tongue. It is low in alcohol and can be drunk like a juice, like a slightly effervescent sweet white wine. I think it tastes like it would be popular with women. I like sweet, so I would like to repeat this.

Taste ★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Polishing ratio 60 This is a summer sake from Akabu. It was written "Imagine a magnificent mountain," so I drank it thinking it would be deep green and full-bodied, but it was surprisingly light and smooth, and my image was of lush green summer mountains and the cool mountain air. I was betrayed in a good way. As the menu says, "Enjoy it casually," I had it with summer vegetables from my vegetable garden and sashimi from the supermarket. Casual is a word that fits perfectly. If anything, I prefer Jade.

Taste ★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 13%. In the mouth, there is a slight feeling of fine carbonation, but it quickly fades away, leaving a slightly sour aftertaste. There is almost no aroma, and the mouthfeel is light and smooth. In addition to its deliciousness, the low alcohol content, which is typical of summer sake, makes it very easy to drink. Compared to Jade, which was my favorite, Jade is soft, round, and smooth. If you compare it to a figure, it would be like a fat, and if it were a cloth, it would be like silk. On the other hand, SEA is light and smooth. If it were a figure, it would be straight lines; if it were a cloth, it would be aerism.

Yamada Nishiki A cup of sake with a summer-only fireworks design by Omine Shuzo! It comes in a 100ml bottle, which comes in handy when you want to drink just a little bit by yourself. Replacing your holiday coffee time with this cup of sake will make you feel a little extravagant from noon. At the liquor store where I purchased it, the price was about 1,500 yen for a set of four. The following is a quote from the website. The wine has an exhilarating flavor of muscatel and melon, suitable for summer. The fruitiness is reminiscent of tropical fruits such as lychee, and the lively acidity and minerality bring a refreshing aftertaste. Pairing Lightly-pickled summer vegetables, Grilled chicken with ume and shiso paste, Grilled squid with soy sauce butter, Please serve in a wine glass.

Preference ★★★★☆ Miyamanishiki Polishing ratio 60 Purchased at Gutto Yamagata during a trip to Yamagata. It has a full sweetness on the palate, with a tangy, raw sake aftertaste. Very much to my liking. The sake has a good sweetness and is easy to drink. It made me want to eat sushi. I would like to have it with rice instead of sashimi.

Favorite ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Summer Sake Penguin🐧 by Kankoubai The sake taste is the same as in winter and spring. The mouthfeel is mellower and sweeter than in spring. The sweetness is like fresh juicy fruit, and the slight acidity in the aftertaste is refreshing and not too assertive. I have not yet had an autumn owl, but my preference is summer > winter > spring.

Omachi Polishing ratio 55 Be careful when opening the bottle. It blows out more than I expected. The bubbles came up so quickly that we almost let the room drink it. The aroma is subdued. The sharpness of the bubbles in the mouth and the dry aftertaste (not too dry, so easy to drink) are like champagne, but with a hint of rice. I prefer it to Otter Sparkling.

Preferred ★☆☆☆☆☆☆ The text on the label is purple. Juicy like a pineapple. The sweetness and moderate acidity make it like a juice. You forget that it is sake and drink it in gulps. My favorite sake from the brewery.
