I had never drunk it before because I had a strong image of it as a sake for votive offerings. As the name suggests, it is a sake with a rich, mellow, sweet taste. It is a five-unit (900 ml) bottle, not a four-unit (4-gou) bottle, and the shape of the bottle, with its short, cylindrical mouth, is also characteristic and gives a sense of history. I expected it to be yellow in color, but it was only slightly yellow.
This is a regular sake from the Izu Mandai Sake Brewery. It has a crisp, dry taste with a faint yellow tinge that may or may not be present. It is made from Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Toyama Prefecture, with a rice polishing ratio of 70%. It seems to go well with sashimi, but it also went well with tanshio (salted tongue).
Shichida from Saga Tenzan Brewery. It is made entirely from Omachi and has a melon-like aroma and taste. When paired with sakadaki, the aftertaste is like cheese.
This sake from the Wagura Sake Brewery in Chiba Prefecture has a refreshing ginjo aroma and a delicious sweet taste. The blue bottle and logo are stylish. Finally conquered Kanto (lol), next to Kyushu area and then to the rest of Japan! (lol).
QUEENS Isetan limited edition, Omachi raw sake from Kawatsuru Sake Brewery in Kagawa Prefecture. It was a delicious sake with a fizzy carbonation and good sweetness and flavor.
Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo Kozuru Okosu from Hamada Corporation, Yamagata Prefecture. It was sold at Don Quijote for 900 yen. The aroma was fruity, but the taste was strong and the rice flavor was strong. It is more assertive than I expected.
Otome Fuji from Negami Sake Brewery in Shizuoka Prefecture. Purchased in Ito. Fuji and has a stylish slim blue bottle. It has a slight yellowish taste and a firm throat strength. It is said to be a limited edition sake.
Neko Masamune by Omi Shuzo, Shiga Prefecture. It has a cute 🐱 design. It is a pleasant sake with a soft aroma and a smooth taste. It is a cool and proud white cat sake just like the label.
Fukura Junmai Daiginjo, Fukura Shuzo, Tottori Prefecture. It was slightly yellowish green in color, with a unique rice aroma and a thin taste. The unique aroma disappears as soon as you put it in your mouth, so it is a sake that can be served with any food. I feel like I've been drinking a lot of sake that doesn't make a statement lately. (laugh).
Daiginjo Ayanami by Hakutsuru. It is clear and light, with a flavor similar to that of Kamizenjosui. It is an easy-drinking sake without any habits and goes well with any dishes.
Gifu Kakamigahara Hayashi Honten's Hyakujuro Junmai Sake, which they have been making since 2010. It was a delicious sake with a nice sharpness and a slightly fruity taste, just as the name "Dai-harakuchi" implies. Hayashi Honten is the first sake brewer in Japan to make sake using the additive-free lactic acid bacteria process.
A canned bottle of Kouzen Nyosui. Even in a can, it is stable and refreshing, just like water. It is a gentle sake with a gorgeous aroma and a mild taste.
Basho Junmai Daiginjo Midori from Gunma Prefecture's Nagai Shuzo. It was very easy to drink, with a gentle taste and sweetness. Now all I have to do is drink some more sake from Chiba and I'll have conquered the Kanto region. (lol).
