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!

Dewanoyuki夏酒「FIREWORKS」
Breadfan
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.

Sake purchased from "Kakinuma".
Dewa Sanzan 55 Fire. It was sold in a refrigerated cabinet, so I thought it was the raw sake, but it is the fire-brewed version. At first sight it was spicy and firm. It is complex, with a clear umami and a bit of bitterness. I'm looking forward to seeing how the taste changes afterwards, as described in the description!

This is a gem from Shima Onsen in Gunma Prefecture. I had never seen this sake before, and there were several varieties, but I bought this one that looked fruity...what is this? It tasted slightly like soy sauce. It is fruity, sour, and full of flavor, but it tastes like soy sauce. It's so much soy sauce that no other flavors come in...
Is it the taste of koji? I'm sure it was stored properly at home...

Still a rare gem, purchased from Kanazawa-ya in Uonuma. Alcohol 13 degrees. It smells like lactic acid and tastes like...a snowman! It tastes quite spicy, or rather, it tastes like a snowman, with a strong characteristic. It tastes bitter, or like a messy taste...you can tell if you drink Yukine on a regular basis. I imagined a cloudy sake that tasted fruity or rich, but it was completely different. It is not a trendy sake. I guess it is a sake for Aoki Sake Brewery fans. I like the taste, but I wouldn't recommend it to amateurs of Aoki Sake Brewery.

I never get tired of drinking it no matter how many times I drink it. It is always cosy and pleasant to drink. It is a highly recommended sake. It is a solid 16% with a deliciously bitter taste. Recently I have been drinking shochu for cosmetic reasons, but this one is really cosy or well-balanced. I have reported on it many times, but I always recommend it!

Rare sake rice "Kame-no-o" is used. This is Chosan's Kame-no-o from the Junmai Daiginjo series. It is a difference of rice. 17 degrees Celsius is firm, but the umami and bitterness that is typical of namaeshu are clearly understood, and it is fresh. It is just delicious!
You can tell the difference in the rice in this series by the bottle that Chosan's character is holding.

Alcohol 18 degrees. It has a distinctive cacao-like flavor that is typical of Hakuryu, but this is dark. I wonder if it is good to be thick. It tastes like it has a high alcohol content, but the spiciness is just right. This is...delicious. It is quite a hit. It's wonderful. It's a sake that will definitely get you drunk.
Since it's a draft sake, I'm looking forward to seeing how the flavor changes after a day of drinking!

Uonuma Sanmizu. It is a recommended product at a supermarket in Yuzawa, and since it is a kind that is not often drunk, I checked it out in a souvenir size.
The alcohol content is 15 degrees. The key taste is...sweet. It has a strong taste of brewer's alcohol. The alcohol content seems lower than Tsururei's Honjozo, so it is suitable for beginners. After drinking Tsururei so much, I feel like I'm back to the basics.

This is a gift from work. I'm glad to get this class for free. The storage conditions are not so good, and I think the taste is a little off...
100% Yamada-Nishiki. Alcohol 16 degrees. Fruity, melon? A little bitterness and umami, and I can tell it has a high alcohol content. There is a lingering aftertaste. It is a well-made deliciousness!

Just as it says on the back, it is clear and dry. It is a taste that goes well with rice dishes. It is a sake that says "I've come to Hakone for sightseeing. Other than that, it has no other characteristics and is difficult to comment on...

Mizu-hashiroshi brewing dating back to the Muromachi period (1333-1573). Aged at low temperature for 120 days in red wine barrels used in the Médoc region of France. It is said to be made from Miyamanishiki Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture.
It is said to be Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture, and it is sweet. It is slightly carbonated, and at 13 degrees, it is a juice with almost no alcohol content. It is the kind of sake that a sake beginner would like to try if he/she wants to taste good. I thought it would be nice to have something like this once in a while. I think I smelled a little bit of oak.
