Bishu Ranman. I bought this in Kakunodate, Akita. The explanation was that it is only available locally, but I don't think you can find this label in the Kanto region. It is beautiful and light. It is easy to drink. It has a good flavor and a bit of bitterness. The bitterness is a little characteristic. It is unique and delicious. I like it!

Good morning, Breadfan! Kakunodate is a place I remember stopping by on my honeymoon✨. I have the impression that Akita has a lot of really great sake 🎵. I don't see many sake from Akita Meinoho, but I'm intrigued 😊.

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki. It is wonderful that you stopped by Kakunodate on your honeymoon. Kakunodate is a nice place, isn't it? We only had a short stopover there this time, so we would love to go back. I enjoyed reading ma-ki's report on Akita sake. Let's enjoy sake together!

This is a souvenir purchased during a tour of Niigata Meizou's sake brewery. 16 degrees Celsius, dry and robust. It is a delicious sake for those who like dry sake with a fruity taste. It has a delicious flavor and a bit of bitterness. I recommend it!

It is a special junmai with just the right balance. It tastes dry and fruity, and I think I can understand Ginpu. It is delicious. I'm getting it locally in Hakodate! I'm drinking it with people who like dry sake, so this is good.

I got it at the Nebuta Festival. It is a local sake in a souvenir size. It tastes like special junmai (pure rice), but it has a fruity and umami flavor. This is just the right amount of sake for yatai food.

This is a gem found at the Tamagawa Onsen (hot spring) store. I like "Yukino Kayasha", but I have never seen it in the Kanto area. I wonder if it is only distributed locally. The taste is similar to that of the black label "Yamahai" of the Snow Kayasha. It is a little spicy and has a strong umami and bitterness. It has a complex flavor and a great balance. Snow Kayasha offers this taste at a reasonable price with Yamahai, which is really great! I love Snow Kayasha!

This is a souvenir sake purchased at a supermarket in Yamagata. I drink it with dinner. It is a solid dry sake, and even though it is only 14 degrees Celsius, it feels rich. You get used to the umami and fruity flavors, but it's still very watery. I bought it at random, but I think it is a winner!

Lastly, back to the snow goddess. I can't tell the difference between this and Dewa-no-sato. I guess it is fresh and refreshing. It is delicious. I highly recommend this brewery tour because you can taste the sake with your guts. It looks like they will let us drink some more, but we cut off here. Thank you very much!

This is the real life Kame-no-o. I understand that most of the rice around here is an improved version of Kame-no-o. The taste is fresh or watery...hmmm, I want a little more umami. It is too clean, or too refreshing, even for a junmai daiginjo.

I was allowed to sample the whole thing, and as a thank-you? Here is the full report. This wine is made from Shonai-grown, improved Nobukou. It is a bit fruity, but still has a refreshing finish.

At first I was puzzled because I said I wanted to drink Yamahai and was offered Namahashi, but this is delicious. I felt I understood a little bit about the goodness of the sake.

It even came out to Junmai Daiginjo, but it is clear, dry, and watery. Even though it is a daiginjo, it is not sweet. Is this a taste peculiar to this rice? Anyway, it is not what you would expect from a daiginjo, but as it says on the back, it can be drunk like a clear white wine. It was more fresh than fruity.

Made with 100% Dewanosato from Yamagata Prefecture. It is dry and refreshing. It's a shame that the taste is so recognizable as special junmai...but it's a rare rice, so I thought I'd like to see it cut down more, but I guess that's difficult?

This is a rich sake, and it is hi-ye at 18 degrees Celsius. Well, I guess they don't serve nama sake in summer. It is much more fruity and delicious than the previous one!

This is the sake we tasted during the brewery tour. It is a little dry and refreshing. It is difficult to explain, but it tastes like the traditional dry sake from Tohoku. In other words, it is not the latest trend, but I think it is a modern version of the good old Tohoku dry sake. It is delicious.

I buy a souvenir size while traveling and drink it with dinner at the hotel. Basically, I choose a raw sake that is hard to get unless you are in the area. It is a little spicy and strong. You can also taste the umami that is typical of nama-zake. It is delicious. I had an image of Kudokibe as dry, but I can also taste the fruity flavor of nama-zake. It is a winner.

I bought this as a souvenir for myself when I visited Niigata Meikozo for a sake brewery tour. It is somewhat dry and...at first glance, thick...firm for 14 degrees. It has a slightly habitual flavor, is this due to the water? It's beautifully balanced and very tasty! Niigata Meikozo-san has been a great help to us in many ways, from plum wine to shochu to sake.

It is a gift. Fruity but also spicy, well-balanced and beautiful sake. Well, it is Otters. I would not buy this sake for myself, not because of the price or anything. It is a sake that is easy to understand and is supposed to be given to you. The consistency of the taste is superb. It is a juice, so be careful not to drink too much.

It is a souvenir size for trial purchase. It has a peculiar taste. I don't know if it's the water or the construction, but I feel like it's a nostalgic taste. It tastes like something that was popular a decade ago. It is treated as dry, but it has a fruity and peculiar flavor, perhaps because it is jungin. It has a habitual flavor similar to that of Hakkaisan, but I need to learn how to describe it...

Purchased at Haranobu in Uonuma. I wonder if it is shipped directly from the brewery and not widely available. Anyway, this is the first time I've seen it. I'm glad to see that there is a cosy setting for a sake brewed by Kozen. The taste...this is delicious! It's refreshing in the Kamizen style, but has the umami and fruity taste of nama-zake, with a bit of bitterness. It is lighter than Tsururei's nama-shu. It is a scary sake because it is too smooth. At any rate, I think this is the best tasting sake in the Kamizen brewery! It is a cheap sake, though.
