Otters Junmai Junmai Daiginjo Nigori Sparkling 45 The moment I opened it, a very gorgeous aroma spread out in a flurry. However, it had been more than 3 months since I bought it, so I felt the taste had changed. I regretted it. The secondary fermentation in the bottle was excessive, leaving a bitter taste of alcohol in the mouth. Without this, it would have tasted fruity and light. It overflowed about 1/4 of the bottle as soon as I opened it, and it's best to drink it as soon as you buy it. Really.

Nishinomon Junmai Ginjo The aroma is very mild. It has an alcoholic smell. The mouthfeel is sweet and a little heavy. However, it is easy to drink for a sweet sake. It has no sharpness and is suitable for leisurely drinking. There is not much aftertaste, and the image is of drinking it in a calm and leisurely manner. It has a heavy mouthfeel for a junmai ginjo, so it may be suitable for different people.

Rinbi Daiginjo Unfiltered The aroma is a little fruity yet refreshing. The taste has a lightness typical of daiginjos, with an initial fruity feeling and a clean aftertaste. The aroma is not strong, and the taste has just the right amount of gorgeousness, but does not seem to get in the way of the meal.

Kaygetsu Gin-no-Mumu Junmai Ginjo-shu The aroma is mild. The aroma is soft and fluffy, with a sweetness like cooked rice. The taste is quite mellow, and is so rich and a little heavy that it is hard to believe that it is made with 55% polished rice. However, the aftertaste is refreshing, and it has a lightness that makes you want to drink it one after another. It goes very well with grilled salmon.

Hakkaisan Kijoshu 2022 The color is thick and slightly yellowish. The aroma is mild, but has a soft scent of fermented rice. It smells a little like alcohol, or perhaps distilled spirits, with a tangy yet sweet aroma. The taste is surprisingly sweet! Delicious! A thick mouthfeel passes smoothly down the tongue and throat, slowly conveying the concentrated sweetness of the rice. There is no fruitiness. The original sweetness of the rice comes through strongly. The alcohol taste that you feel from the aroma is not there, and you can drink it easily despite its high alcohol content. It was great to drink on its own or to eat with vanilla ice cream. This was my first time drinking kijoshu, and I had no idea it could be so tasty.

Sanrenboshi Hiyashi oroshi The sweet aroma of rice is the first thing that hits you. The taste is quite strong and robust, and is what sweet sake is all about! It's not a heavy drink, but it is a taste that will entwine with your tongue. It is not a heavy sake, but it has a thick taste that seems to entwine with the tongue. However, it is interesting to note how it changes to a crisp atmosphere when served with oden. It is very tasty. This is a sake brewery that I highly recommend. After 2 weeks, it became a little bit bitter and hard to drink. 1 week is the limit, I guess.

glistening dew The aroma is mild, fluffy, and sweet. There is a hint of brewer's alcohol in the back, but it is only for a moment, and it is mainly a sweet and delicious aroma. The taste has none of the harshness or harshness characteristic of alcohol-added sake, and the refreshing sweetness comes first, making it very tasty. It is probably a honjozo sake, but it has a ginjo-like aroma and taste that makes it hard to believe that it is. It is a wonder. I was allowed to buy a bottle of this sake to practice for the SAKEDIPLOMA exam, but every time I practiced, I had a hard time mistaking this honjozo sake for the daiginjo sake. It's that good.

Hodogashira Junmai Sake I was surprised to find the aroma very sour. I could almost taste the acidity, almost like vinegar. When I drank it with some caution, I was even more surprised to find a fruity and sweet taste with some sourness. It was really strange. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. The more surprised I am by the aroma, the lighter it feels in the mouth, making it easy to drink. It would go well with appetizers, or you could drink it to refresh your palate after a heavy meal such as meat dishes.

A-Sakura Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyakioroshi The aroma is not that strong and is quiet. In the mouth, there is a strange chemical taste for a moment, and then the delicious taste of rice spreads softly. It is a taste I have never had before. It is strange. The aftertaste is very clean and easy to drink.

Otters Junmai Junmai Daiginjo, Polishing 30% to 99%. The aroma of this sake is very much like a Junmai Daiginjo, and it passes right through your nose. Fruity and sweet, it has such outstanding destructive power that the aroma alone tells you that this sake is delicious. When you drink it, a sweet taste that does not betray the aroma spreads over your tongue. There is almost no alcohol-like tartness. I thought it would taste more watery due to the rice polishing ratio, but it was not at all, and I thought it would go well with dishes with a fairly strong flavor. Although it has such a sweet aroma that passes through the nose, it finishes light and has no aftertaste at all. I think it is also suitable as a food wine.

Seven Crown Horses Hoshihe It smells like bananas so much. It smells like bananas and is easy to drink, but when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the tingling sensation of alcohol. It tastes sweet and almost like a thick sake, but it is a strange sake with an acidity that makes the tongue numb. It is very tasty when paired with oden. It is best when served chilled with a sip.

Umeshu (plum wine) made with junmai sake Surprisingly, it has the aroma of sake. The aroma of plums is weak. Because of the strong insistence of the original sake, if you like plum wine and drink it, some people may feel it is not good for them. The taste is not sweet, but has a strong sourness from the plums. The sourness is refreshing and easy to drink when mixed with carbonated water, making it a good match for meals. It was a bit hard to drink straight or on the rocks. I drink a lot of sake, and I like it, but I think this is for people who like very thick sake.

Sanzen Sakura Junmai Daiginjo Comet 45 The aroma is sweet and fruity like a daiginjo. When you drink it, it is as easy to drink as water, and there is no cloying taste at all. The aftertaste is light and does not stick to the tongue or throat as if you are drinking very good water. The sake itself is so delicious that it doesn't need any accompaniments. I would pair it with white meat sashimi or carpaccio. PS: When I drank it two weeks after opening the bottle, the sweetness became much stronger and the taste was completely different. It was not watery at all, but rather, it had a sweet taste similar to that of fruit. It was a wonder. Postscript: When I drank it 3 weeks after opening the bottle, the sweetness was gone and the taste was bland. The alcohol-like tangy sensation became stronger. It's not good when it goes this far. It was a learning experience. Postscript: It has been four weeks since the bottle was opened. Unlike last week, the sweet taste is stronger. Why? There is a twangy alcohol taste, but the first sip is very sweet. But the end of the drink is not so good because it is very spiky.

KISS o FIRE Junmai Daiginjo The aroma is gorgeous and strong, with a fruity sweetness. In the mouth, the taste does not betray the aroma, and at the end, there is a feeling of alcohol passing through. It tastes like bananas and has a fermented taste at the end. This is a very tasty sake that stands on its own and is so delicious that it can be drunk on its own. I think it goes very well with fruit appetizers and carpaccio.

Ikegame refreshing summer Junmai-shu The aroma is a little calm. It is not different from the image of Junmai sake. The mouthfeel is more gorgeous and the rice has a strong sweetness. At the end of drinking, there is a lingering aftertaste of alcohol, which is unique to Junmai sake. It has a ginjo taste, but is also strong, and seems to be a very good sake to drink with food. That is why it is a bit strong to drink by itself.

Hitoki Junmai The aroma is not that strong. It has a fruity, pale yellowish flavor. When you sip it, the fruity sweetness comes on at once. It has a pleasant light, fruity sweetness. It has the so-called "Mio-like" taste, but it is much more like a fruit wine, with a sweetness like dessert wine. It is very delicious. You can drink it by itself.

Garyubai Junmai Daiginjo The gorgeous, fruity aroma of a daiginjo-style sake hits you hard. In the mouth, it has a crisp sharpness, and the alcohol that accompanies it is pleasantly fluffy as it passes from the mouth into the esophagus. The aftertaste, however, is gentle and leaves nothing behind like water. It is best drunk at the beginning of a meal with appetizers. Very tasty.

Lord Toshiie Maeda Junmai Ginjo The aroma was smoky. It was muffled and had a strange aroma that I have never smelled before in sake. However, it was very tasty and easy to drink like water, without any peculiarities. The smoky aftertaste again slipped into my nose. As the description says it goes well with Nodoguro, it was easy to drink as if to pour off the fat. Very tasty.

Tedorigawa Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri It has a slightly soggy feel. It has a gorgeous aroma with a strong flavor that spreads to the palate and is very tasty. It is light enough to drink before a meal, yet has a strong flavor. I think it goes well with anything, but it goes very well with light foods such as tofu paste, sesame paste, etc. This was my first sake from my trip to Ishikawa. It was very tasty.

Tenmei Tank Shiboribori Junmai Hon Nama The aroma is sweet, yet with a hint of sourness. The color is extremely beautiful and colorless. The color is clear and colorless, and the sky blue label suits it. There is not much sweetness as one would expect from the aroma, and although there is a heavy alcohol content, it slides down the throat easily thanks to the acidity. It has a strange and very tasty flavor that leaves no aftertaste whatsoever.
