Beautiful and clear sake quality, elegant sweetness and umami, and refreshing acidity. Muscat-like flavor. It is delicious! I served it at a drinking party where my friends gathered at my house and everyone was impressed with how good it was! It was a good decision to buy a bottle!

Purchased at a supermarket in Aomori Prefecture. I happened to be in Kuroishi City and came across a festival called "Kuroishi Yosare"! I bought it because it was sake from a brewery that was located at the festival site! It has a mild flavor without much aroma. It was more like a daiginjo with alkaloids than a junmai ginjo. It is a classic sake that is not too assertive as a food sake. Rice polishing ratio→55%. Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

I received this for my birthday celebration! ㊗️ It's not so dark among black cattle. (chilled) It has a mellow aroma and umami, but it's not too rich and the aftertaste is light, short and refreshing. (lukewarm) The umami and acidity deepen and it's delicious. Sake rice → Koji rice: Yamadanishiki, Kake rice: Gohyakumangoku Polishing ratio→Kakemai 50%, Kakemai 60 Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius Sake degree→+5.0 Yeast → K9 series Toji→ Katsuhiko Okai

Purchased at "Sake no Yanagida" near Hirosaki Station in Aomori Prefecture! Not much of a ginjo aroma, a little dry and refreshing. Melon and other melon flavors. A perfect food sake that goes well with anything. Sake rice: Hanabukiyuki and Mashigura from Aomori Prefecture Rice polishing ratio→55%. Alcohol content: 16%.

Purchased at Tsuruya in Matsumoto City. It seems to be a Tsuruya exclusive. It has a spicy aftertaste from the deliciousness of rice and alcohol. It went well with squid sashimi and yakiniku (grilled meat) without any discomfort. As I recall, the price was less than 1,000 yen. It is very cost-effective. Alcohol content→14 degrees Celsius

Purchased at the Sandozawa Sake Shop in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. It has a strong flavor, but is surprisingly light and refreshing. It also has a mineral taste. With a rice polishing ratio of 91%, I imagined it would be wilder and stronger, but it was surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink. I was told that heating it up was also recommended, and when I tried it, the umami and sweetness came through more easily, and the minerality was reduced, giving it a deeper flavor. This is quite good! Sake rice: 100% Miyamanishiki produced in Yamamuro-cho, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture and grown without the use of agricultural chemicals Rice polishing ratio→91%. Alcohol content→14 degrees Celsius

I bought it at a supermarket in Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture, and drank it in the hotel room. I had an image of aged or old sake as having a distinctive richness, but this one had no peculiarities and was light in taste with a delicious sweetness from the rice. Sake rice: Hanabukiyuki Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content→16.5 Sake meter degree → +2 Acidity → 1.6 Yeast → No. 9 series

Pink color, which is rare for sake! The label design looks like a rosé wine or champagne! It is quite sweet like a juice, but it is not too sour and not too heavy. The taste and the astringent feeling it leaves in the throat is similar to plum wine. Sake rice→100% Haenuki produced in Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio→50 Alcohol content→10.6 Sake alcohol content → -58.0 Acidity → 7.3 Amino acidity → 1.6 Yeast → Red yeast

It is an old sake that was brewed and laid down in 2018, so it has a yellowish acidity and a flavor unique to old sake. It has a strong alcohol taste that hits the back of the throat, but it is not bad because it has a gentle sweetness and umami behind the old sake's unique flavor. It goes well with Camembert cheese. It was also good with simmered thick fried tofu and scallops. It seems to go well with all kinds of dishes with a strong flavor. Sake rice: 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture Polishing ratio→50 Alcohol content: 16.0 to 17.0 Sake degree→+4 Acidity→1.8 Amino acidity→0.8

Purchased at the Sandozawa Sake Shop in Matsumoto Mellow and delicious taste. The sweetness of the rice and the umami that is not too strong are nice. I wonder if this refreshing sweetness is the result of the "glutinous rice hot-kake 4-step brewing process" or something like that! I like it a lot! Sake rice: 90% Shinanomachi Hitogochiki from Nagano Prefecture, 10% Hime no Mochi Rice polishing ratio→70 Alcohol content→16 degrees Celsius Yeast → Association 1401

Muscat-like freshness. The acidity is effective, with sweetness and umami from the rice and a bit of astringency. The acidity is strong when drunk on its own, but with a meal, it resets the palate and leaves a nice umami taste. Sake rice: Kame-no-o and Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content→15%. Sake degree → -6.5 Acidity → 1.8

The umami is firm, but fresh and clean. The sake is fresh and clean. The pleasant acidity and slight bitterness give it a refreshing aftertaste. It does not interfere with meals. Not a bad sake in a humble way. Sake rice: 100% Miyamanishiki Rice polishing ratio→49%. Alcohol content: 16%. Sake degree→+2

Purchased at Yamazaki Seiichi Shoten in Matsumoto City. I had previously bought and drank "Tamako Nama" here, which was delicious, so I decided to buy the same raw sake. It has a rich acidity and umami, sweetness, high alcohol content, and rich mellow taste! I wouldn't recommend it to sake beginners, but those who are into it will love it! It's not recommended for beginners, but for those who are into it! Sake rice→100% Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio→59 Alcohol content→18%.
