On the morning of Risshun, the liquor store owner went all the way to Iwakuni to pick up the sake. It is very good. The aroma is good, and the flavor is gorgeous. The finish is very nice, and the taste is impressive.

I prefer the fire-roasted type of Jyushidai, but this Daijyoku Kamikami Nama is exceptionally good. It has a gorgeous aroma and taste. It has a gorgeous aroma and taste, which is unique to new sake.

It has a nice, clean, neat taste. It is a good sake with umami. I have many chances to drink Hououmida these days, and all of them are good.

A limited edition of Houou Mita. It is said to be a 40% polished sake with a rough run and a push-through portion. This is good. It is juicy and has a rich flavor. It is very good. 3,740 yen, isn't it a superb value?

We also received it in December, but since it was the last bottle, we didn't hesitate to get it. It has a refreshing pear-like aroma and taste. No matter how many times I drink it, I always find it so good that I roar.

There was a high-end line of Oroku, so I got it. However, I am not a fan of the slightly older Wang Luk, which has a hiney scent (not twisted, but not twisted).

It is quite dry. It goes well with nabe (hot pot). It is good to have it warmed up.

AKABU is as good as it should be. It is fruity and has a deep, unclouded flavor.

I had Kurehaaru for the first time in decades. I was reminded of the time 40 years ago when there was a bar in Umeda that was directly owned and operated by the company. While it has an authentic taste, it is also a little light and flavorful, making it perfect for a mealtime drink. It is even better if you drink it warm.

I received this sake at a Japanese restaurant that I sometimes visit. They challenged the 6th, 7th, and 8th generations of Kuroryu to make sake. All of them were straight sake with absolutely no cloying taste. My preference was for the 6th generation sake, which was neat and dry, just like the Showa period (?). I think my preference would be the 6th generation sake, which is neat and dry, just like the Showa era. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to taste such sake.
