Sake does not fit into the category of sake. Even under the Sake Tax Law, sake cannot be called sake. It was amazingly delicious, with the perfect balance of the bitterness of hops and the umami sweetness of doburoku.

Sake bought on a business trip to Gifu. It is not too sweet for a sake with a strength of -20, and it is very refreshing to drink. It has a sour taste and a barrel-like aroma, and is quite tasty.

Second nigori sake from Mitomiku. This is the first summer sake in a year, and it is as good as ever. It has a good taste with a clear, muddled flavor.

The last drink in this corner. Junmai Unfiltered Nama-zake I realized again that this is the sake I like best. It has a strong taste. Plus it was dry. Today's corner drinking was a great success.

Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake It is a combination of all my favorite kinds of sake. I was getting a little tired of the freshness of the recent past, so I thought it would be good to go back to my original favorite sake. Katano is Katano's sake, isn't it? It was delicious. Second today.

It has a good old-fashioned sake character, yet it is dry and umami. It is a good sake. It is a rare sake from Oita.

My favorite Shokotoku activated nigori sake purchased at the brewery's sales counter. Slightly effervescent with a clean taste. Refreshing and good taste. It was very delicious.
