クウ
The photo is on the left as you head in. This is a very geeky sake, an old draft sake. I think the price was in the 6000 yen range. Anyway, it is very expensive. It is also very sweet with 12 degrees of alcohol. It is a juice. It's a sweet sake aimed at women who don't know about sake. On the contrary, I think it is too sweet for women who know sake. By the way, it was written in the explanation of the store that it is a sake for women.

The photo is in the middle. 13 degrees alcohol. It is even sweeter than Jupiter and slightly effervescent. It is a little bitter with a strong flavor, but the sweetness is too much like juice. It is good for those who like this kind of sweet sake, but it is no longer sake.

This is a famous sake from Nagano. You can find this sake in supermarkets in Tokyo, and it is a cosy image for a ginjo-shu. The taste and the price are good. This one is brewed alcohol because we are getting it as much as we can drink. It tastes like brewed alcohol. Well, but it is okay.

This sake is also from Nagano. Mizuo is well known and is often found at roadside stations. This sake is also brewed with brewed alcohol, so it is sweet. It is described as dry, but the taste of brewed alcohol seems to prevail. I would like to see a little more individuality in this one.

It is a very standard and delicious sake in Uonuma, which I believe is sold only in the Uonuma area. It is available at supermarkets in Uonuma at a reasonable price. It is a great balanced sake with a strong umami and a bit of bitterness. You will never get tired of it no matter how many times you drink it, and because it is a nama-shu, the taste changes and is always fun. I have reported on this sake many times, but it is a great sake that I rave about again and again. The costa is great too! If you are in Uonuma, you can never have enough of this................................ This place is sake heaven.

This sake is sold exclusively in Uonuma by Niigata Meisho. It has a deep and robust flavor at 18% alcohol by volume. It has a complex flavor with a bit of bitterness and the umami that only Yamahai can provide, but it also has a Junmai-like quality, and you can enjoy it in a variety of ways. It is a slightly maniacal sake for those who like Yamahai and those who like a firm dry taste. And the cost is also quite good. Niigata Meizou would be more popular if it weren't for the fierce competition in Niigata. The taste is completely Niigata's image of sake, though. Anyway, I support them!

This is a test brew by Tenryohaii Sake Brewery, version 2025. It is beautifully effervescent and has a strong umami flavor, with a moderate sweetness or fruity flavor. It also has a bit of bitterness, which I personally like perfectly! It is light at 13.5 degrees and has a strong flavor, so it is not easy to drink, but you can drink it with gusto. It is a limited edition of 1,000 bottles, and I am very happy to have it!

クウ
This sake bears the name of the brewery Tenryohai Sake Brewery, whose new president is making excellent sake, whether or not it is safe to say that he is a newcomer to Sado Island. It is slightly carbonated and fruity. It is slightly carbonated and fruity, with a strong umami flavor. There is no bitterness or other tastes. It is very beautiful and has a wonderful finish. I am here. I never thought it could be this good. The raw sake is available only at the store where the brewery is located, and I am very lucky to be able to buy it. It is a hall of fame. It is 16%, but it is juice. You can drink it drunkenly. And because it is so beautiful, it can also be used as a food sake. It's a great balance!

クウ
Itzumi Shuzo is the smallest brewery on Sado Island. This brewery is famous for Itsuki, which was introduced by V6's Sakamoto, but Itsuki was sold out, so I bought this one. The color of the sake is a little bit dark, and the taste is very strong at 17%. It has the umami taste and aftertaste typical of Yamahai, and it is delicious, but it is very strong. Be careful not to drink too much. The person who explained the brewery to me was very simple and did not try to sell me anything in a good way. He explained that he was sorry for the lack of sake and that this was the only sake available, which was a very favorable impression. I will support this brewery!

Kanaderu, from Obata Shuzo, the brewer of Manotsuru on Sado Island. Made from 100% Gohyakumangoku. Alcohol 15.5%. A little spicy on the palate, with bitterness and umami coming later. It may taste a little like apples. It seems to be a recent sake. It tastes like what you would expect from a sake brewed using a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. This is delicious. I think it is spicier than this type of sake because of the amount of "Gohyakumangoku". It's a good sake.

This is an experimental sake from Tenryohai Sake Brewery on Sado Island. Slightly slightly carbonated. I think it is fresh and has a strong umami flavor, but it is also beautifully light. I think there is a slight yeast difference or taste, but it is difficult to tell because it is so slight. The rice is supposed to be Koshitanrei, Gohyakumangoku, or Koshinohomare, but I can't tell. It's light and almost a juice. Anyway, it was delicious! Tenryohai Sake Brewery was purchased by a young president and has a lot of momentum.

It is a sake from Sado Island. You can drink it clean and clear. Anyway, it is refreshing. I thought it was a nama-shu, but it is not a nama-shu because it is a nama-stored sake. There are several good sakes on Sado Island, so I'll leave this as the runner-up.

It is sweet. It is for dessert sake. 12 degrees and tipsy? I love Niigata Meizo's sake, but I thought it would be nice to have Karine instead. Anyway, it is sweet. I expect it will be a good sake to finish off the evening drinks at home!

This one is also a refreshing swishy, but this one may be more robust in flavor. It tastes like the same strain. I think the unique bitterness or umami taste is the taste of Uonuma or Nagaoka area.

クウ
100% Koshitanrei is used. 17% alcohol by volume. The alcohol content is 17%, which is very strong. The alcohol content makes it feel spicy, but it has a rich fruity or umami flavor. It is exactly what you would expect from Koshitanrei sake. It is so tasty that it can be drunk in large quantities, so you have to drink plenty of water with it.

I personally passed a certain certification exam, so I decided to serve myself a nice sake to celebrate. The price is a bit extravagant, but it is Yamamoto's Pure Black. It tastes like citrus acidity and juice. It has a bitter taste, or rather a habit, and tastes like more than just a trendy sake! So it is very delicious. I'm going to drink it shippily with Brikama from now on.
