Blue Sapphire, also from the Kangiku Meizou Discovery series, is a jun-daigin.
This one stands out for its gorgeousness and flavor, just like the Jun Daigin.
I might buy the other two...

あらいぐま
This is one of Kangiku's discovery series of unfiltered unpasteurized sake. It is made from Koshihikari rice grown in Chiba Prefecture. Why is it so refreshing even though it is 90% polished rice?
It is an adventurous sake, but definitely delicious 😋.

Again, sunburst from Koei Kiku, but this time as Junmai (pure rice) since the rice polishing ratio is not indicated.
It has a sourness and an unexpected bitterness. It is like the sourness of grapefruit and the bitterness of its peel.
I think it is best to drink it cooled down and in this season because it is very refreshing.
I think it has the least sweetness of all the Kouei Chrysanthemums I have had so far. I think it is recommended for those who do not like sweet taste.

Purchased at Miyagi Prefecture's antenna store in Ikebukuro.
I completely bought it for the jackpot.
But it's delicious.......and it's only about 300 yen, so I thought it would be cosy too.

This is also the Matsumidori s.tokyo that we receive every year.
They use the second oldest koji mold in the world, and one that was discovered in Germany. It has a hint of sweetness and sourness, which is nice and intoxicating.
This sparkling raw sake is also delicious.
It is a bottle unique to summer.

Black Label purchased at Hachinohe Shuzo.
It's easy to drink without any habits.
No wonder this sells on a national scale!

Tenbi is one of my favorite sake. It is the second in the Jun Daigin series they are currently offering, and is made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima.
The first one, Yamada-Nishiki, was a gift for a friend who was returning from overseas, and this second one I got for myself.
It is a bit expensive, but it is worth it...
It is really delicious. I heard that there will be two more varieties, so I have high expectations for them.

On the way back from Hachinohe on a business trip, I had a drink on the Shinkansen.

I obtained it in Hachinohe, where I was on a business trip. I also visited the brewer, Hachinohe Shuzo. Mutsu Hachisen is famous throughout Japan, but Otokoyama is a brand that has been around for a long time and is a sake that only the locals drink.
It has a good, old-fashioned, robust flavor.

This is a sparkling sake made from rice wine made with white malted rice and filled with carbon dioxide gas.
This kind of thing makes me happy in summer❗️.

This is an experimental sake that comes in a set with a combination of sweet and spicy, and also comes with a beaker to measure the mixing ratio.
The ratio is +10 for dry and -35 for sweet, which is quite a wide range, but each is tasty enough to drink individually.
I tried various ways, but I remember that it tasted best at about 6 minutes dry and 4 minutes sweet.
I was living abroad for 3 weeks, so maybe it soaked into my throat a little more than usual.

This sake is packed with the lightness and freshness that only Koei Kiku can offer. I like it, Koei Kiku⁺o(⁎˃˃)o⁺‧-͙⁺

Wakayama Kurogyu's active nigori sake, Shiragyu.
It is a bottle of nigori with the real pleasure of nigori!

A gift from a friend, I am not familiar with Shizuoka sake, but...
The aroma is not so strong, but the flavor is very rich in the mouth, as is typical of a draft sake.
The umami flavor is fully apparent. And while it has a slight dryness, it goes down the throat easily.
It is quite easy to drink.

Purchased at the sake counter in the basement of Daimaru, Tokyo Station. The brewery is located in Takato, Nagano Prefecture, which is famous for its cherry blossoms.
Since my parents live in the northern part of Nagano, I have not had many opportunities to drink sake from the southern part of Nagano, and this was the first time I tried this one.
It has a rich and umami flavor, but it is not peculiar and is easy to drink.
I would like to drink it while watching cherry blossoms in Takato.

I opened a bottle of Jikin that had been sitting in the refrigerator for more than a year.
It has a strong yet refreshing flavor, with a slight bitterness, and you can feel the delicious taste of rice until it goes down your throat.
I think it is such a gem ♫
I am always happy when I drink alcohol, but today it is doubled lol.

Eiko-Fuji after a long time. When I see this label, I just can't resist buying it!
The flavor of Aizan rice comes to the forefront and spreads in the mouth along with the acidity.
Mmmm, delicious ♫
The taste is not too sweet and goes down the throat nicely.
I'm sure this one will be gone soon too.

I opened a bottle of Hitogokochi Jungin that I had bought along with the Kinmonn Nishiki the other day.
The Mikotsuru character remains the same. I think this one is darker and drier. If you like dry sake, this one may suit your palate. Both are still delicious, though.

Spring Amami, here we come again this year ♫
The sizzling sound when the bottle is opened is already the same as usual. It makes me want to drink it.
The rest of the bottle is slowly being savored and chewed so that it doesn't run out too soon ♫
The sweet and sour taste is also as usual.
Definitely a bottle that calls for the arrival of spring❗️
Thank you again this year😊

Following the previous Snow, this time I got Anastasia Green. It is also low-alcohol. The taste is different from the gorgeousness of Snow. It is citrusy sweet and sour, and the taste goes straight down your throat. The bitterness is almost imperceptible and sits in the belly.
Anyway, it is easy to drink and delicious ♫
Kouei chrysanthemum, there is no hassle *\(^o^)/*.
