Jyushidai Nakadori Daiginjo Yamadanishiki It is the highest peak of standard Jyushidai. All levels are high and completely unclouded in taste and balance. It is wonderful. I drank it in no time at all.

It was just the right amount of umami, with a 13% alcohol content but a drinkability (though much more subtle) that didn't feel lacking. It was a wonderful sake.

Monochrome is out again this year. It is very good, isn't it? I was shocked when I drank it for the first time last year. It's still good this year. I think it is my favorite among all the Kangiku varieties.

I discovered purple space. And I bought it. It was another good sake, sweet, aromatic and full of flavor.

I got Wakamusume for the first time in a while. It's still good. It's sweet and, yes, bananas. The gasiness is also nice.

Fruity and light. This is a good sake with the feeling that this is Eiko Fuji.

I got oysters, so I had Isozumo. It is still the best match. It is dry and accepts all the smell of the sea. It's the best marriage, isn't it? The next day, I bought some red clams and matched them with it, which was also the best fit. I think the true value of Isobojiman lies in its honjozo (pure brewed sake).

We had Monochrome again this year. It's good. Very good. Aromatic aroma when the bottle is opened. The overwhelming umami taste that comes to you. The moderate gasiness and acidity. It was a wonderful bottle.

Huh. Maybe it's the low al (14%), but the taste is clean and light, with a Shinsei vibe. The fruity flavor appears after that.

This is wonderful. I think it brings out the best of Aizan wonderfully. The umami, the gasiness, the aftertaste. Everything is perfectly balanced. There is no mistaking Kangiku, but this is especially good.

Most Hyakujuro are dry, but this one is my favorite with its umami taste. It seems to be limited to 450 bottles, but it is good.

It is a sake that goes well with a meal, with a clean aftertaste, but with a gentle, umami taste of rice. I heard that the number of shipments is very small, but Hyakujuro is very good.

It is a sake from the end of last year, but when I asked at the liquor store, I was told it was still available. It is a really good sake full of the deliciousness of Omachi.

It was sent to us as part of a hometown tax payment. It was a honjozo, old-fashioned dry sake. It was perfect with sweet sushi rolls, but it could also be served warm.

Thank you for the information, smoky.   I have had several kinds of "Mimuro Sugi" but never got to "Samorosugi". I am looking forward to receiving it.
