This is a type of sake that I don't usually choose. The color is clear. The aroma is pineapple, white flowers, and a little malted rice. The taste is sweet. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also moderate and clean. Delicious. The sweetness comes out more when the temperature is 14 degrees Celsius or so rather than refrigerated. The temperature and sake cups are difficult to choose for this kind of sake. If it is earthenware, the aroma is a concern, and a large magnetic or wine glass, such as tin, is probably the best choice.

Morinori's Nama Sake. I think the sake here tastes better on draft than on fire-roasted. It has a fairly vigorous effervescence and a strong cloudiness. The aroma is pineapple, sweet aroma of koji and lactic acidity. Refreshing. There is a slight shwash, mainly sweetness and acidity, but there is also a mineral-like backbone. There is a bitter aftertaste. The image is a little different. Minerality in the back end? The bitterness is not good. I thought it was good when I drank it before, but maybe it's the way it's chilled?

Label of Maido Ikaisu Kume Cherry Blossom It is colored like 28by. The color of wild cherry blossoms. Aroma of fruits in the matured aroma. Banana, tobacco, earth, and maybe some spices. Delicious at room temperature. It has a rich flavor. There is also a tea-like nuance. Quiet sweetness and acidity. For some reason, it tastes good even though the bitterness and astringency are the main flavors. Expectations are high for heating it up. Heats up the sake. It's delicious. It has a rich and nourishing flavor. The taste is different, but I also sense the wildness of wild vegetables and sweetfish. It's delicious! I wish I could express this deliciousness better. Anyway, it is delicious!

I don't think it's probably not laid up in the brewery, and we kept it at 10 degrees Celsius, but it's lightly colored. What is it from the beginning? Yellow, crystal. The aroma is calm and pleasant. Apples, bananas, big white flowers, some black tea. Some riceiness and spice, maybe? I drank it yesterday from the cellar, but it didn't feel right, so I brought it back to room temperature. It tasted delicious. It has a mild sweetness and nourishment. The quiet acidity and the bitterness in the back are indescribably deep. At room temperature, it could be a little more acidic, but it is tasty enough! Warm it up. This is good! Good! The depth of earthiness comes out more, and it is gradually delicious. The sharpness of the acidity that lingers in the aftertaste is a bit annoying, but it's good enough. I wonder if it has a long mineral aftertaste. When I drank Dai No. Order before, I didn't feel comfortable with it, but this is good. I don't think it is made to be aged. I think that if they make sake with aging in mind and ship it after aging, they will be able to produce more tasty sake.

Stories, stories, and such sake. The second line of Light yellow color. Aroma. Better impression than when I bought it! Pineapple, white flowers, maybe some apricot. It's a gorgeous scent, but the tone is calm so it doesn't disturb me. Probably at 13℃ or so. The sweetness is the main taste, but there is also a refreshing acidity. The back end has a mineral texture and a bit of bitterness, so it has a strong profile. This is unexpectedly good. I warmed it up to lukewarm. This one is not as bad as I thought it would be. The sweetness is still too much, but the acidity and minerality just barely keep the balance. It's a good taste for some people. I think it was a bit expensive. When I tasted it, I didn't have a good impression of it, but I was betrayed in a good way. It is delicious! I think it would be good at a lower temperature, like 10℃ or so.

Kaiharu is my recent boom. Almost transparent with a slight color. Bananas, white balls, malted rice, apples, and white flowers. It tastes good enough at room temperature. In fact, it is very tasty. The sweetness and acidity are pleasant and there is no bitterness. The astringency at the end broadens the scale of the flavor. It's really delicious! I heated it up. It's also good. It's not very tasty, but the sweetness and sourness that spreads slowly is pleasant to the body. It may be a little too sweet, but it's just right when paired with salty food. It has a fresh element, and I think it is delicious at various temperatures from cold sake to hot sake. Very nice!

It's 27by and probably stored at room temperature, color and aroma. The color is a deep golden yellow. Aroma is mature, with notes of caramel, dead leaves, black tea, mushrooms, and deep fruit. The alcohol content is 20%, so it is very generous. It has a deep sweetness, acidity, and astringency on the back end, and while it can be served at room temperature, it makes me itch to warm it up. So we warmed it up. I can't get enough of it. It has a deep, soft sweetness that spreads in the mouth. It also has a sourness and a refreshing aftertaste. I can't get enough of it. I want to match it with spice dishes. It is delicious!

Purchased to celebrate Doala's 30th anniversary. Stored at 10°C. Reference record as it has been over a month since the bottle was opened. I kept it at 10°C. Immediately after opening the bottle, it was hard and the bitterness was still very strong, so I left it alone for a bit. The color is clear. Pineapple, white flowers, malted rice, maybe a little milkiness? Quiet sweetness and acidity. There is a solid minerality. I think it tastes better than right after opening the bottle, but I don't know. I think it's about 15 degrees Celsius, but it would be good chilled more. I think it is a refreshing sake.

It turned out to be like a comparison between Tamasakura and Juji Asahi's Gohyakumangoku 28 by raw yeast and 70% polished rice. Dark color. Golden color like mirin (sweet sake). Mature and sweet aroma. Caramel, brown sugar, a little dead leaves and black tea. Some banana-like fruits. Sweet at room temperature. Rich sweetness and firm acidity. Mineral, with plenty of texture and volume. The taste is said to be "flavorful," but it's not. It is delicious at room temperature! But it seems to be difficult to match with food. It is a good wine to add a touch of "sensation" to food. The sweetness is still there, so it is mainly sweet, but it also has umami and is very sweet and delicious. It would be easier to match it with food if it were heated. It also has a honey-like flavor, so depending on the dish, it may be possible to pair it with Western food. It's not just sweet. It also has an umami taste and maintains a good balance of flavors. It is interesting and delicious.

Goyumangoku 28by Darkly colored. Yamabuki, yellow. Aroma of maturity but also freshness. Ripe fruit, banana, a little citrus. Tea-like notes and caramel remind of the complexity of maturity. It is recommended to be served warmed because it is a Tamasakura, but it is well-balanced even at room temperature. The sweetness is the main component, with a good amount of acidity and a pleasant bitterness at the end. There is a slight sweetness in the aftertaste as well, giving it a rich flavor. Warm it up. It is delicious! The volume of umami and sweetness increases dramatically, creating a rich flavor that spreads through the body. It has a fresh image, while still being voluminous and tasty. I wondered if it would be good at room temperature. I thought it could be served at room temperature, but I think it should be heated. It's amazing! It doesn't have a huge impact, but it tastes great. I can't get enough of it. I want to drink it every day!

Series of Drinks at the Restaurant @ Kuise Itoshiromi 29by. It was stored at room temperature, so the changes due to Maillard reaction are likely to be significant. It has a gentle aroma of aged caramel and black tea. I think the volume of sweetness has increased in the taste as well, but still the complexity and volume as a flavor is irresistible. I wonder what kind of flavor it will have in my Itoh Hakimi, which I have not been able to open for some time.

Series of drinks at the restaurant @ Kuize This is the first time I've had this brand, but it's delicious. It's a heated sake store, so it's heated, but it has a full sweetness and gentle flavor. It looks delicious whether it's heated or not. I want to have this kind of sake in my daily life. That's the kind of sake I want to have in my daily life.

Series of drinks at the store @ Koukoushi Kijoshu Old Sake The color is surprisingly black. Is it soy sauce? If you let the light through, you can't see the light. The aroma is cocoa. It is naturally sweet because it is a noble sake, but it is quite delicious! It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness, and the aroma is rich. It is not very drinkable, but it is very tasty to drink with a cup of chocolate. This was great. I should have bought it when it was on sale.

Series of drinks at the store @ Koukoushi 20 years old, all malted rice brewed Very dark in color. Looks like balsamic vinegar. The aroma is full of Maillard, burnt soy sauce, and mitarashi. Makes you hungry. The taste is quite clear, unlike the appearance and the image of the aroma. It is mainly sweet, but has a good balance of acidity and umami, and is tasty because of its volume. It is difficult to drink. It is difficult to decide how to drink it, but I guess it can be used as an after-dinner drink or for dessert.

Series drank at the store @ Koukoushi Hikomago Junmai Daiginjo 2005 Brewing It was probably kept at a temperature below refrigeration, so the strong coloring and Maillard-like aroma are not strong. The color is crystal to yellow, and the aroma is of tropical fruits. Pineapple, melon, banana, or something along those lines. The palate is very smooth and slightly mineral, but smooth and pleasant to drink. The taste is mainly sweet and the acidity is not that strong. I have had some old Daiginjo-style sake from Ryuriki, but this is close to it. The flavor is a bit dry. I don't think it is weak because it is a hikoginjo, so if a daiginjo is aged at a low temperature, it will probably change in this way. Sake aging. If possible, I would like to systematize the changes caused by aging by assigning parameters such as storage period, sake quality, and storage temperature. But the storage temperature is too difficult for my hobby...

Labels overflowing with love for sumo Kume-Zakura labels are great! More colorful than I expected. Crystal. Gentle aroma with a hint of fruit. Banana, apricot, white flowers. Some mineral notes. Hard, probably because it was opened today. Gentle sweetness and acidity, a mineral-like texture, and a gentle bitterness, followed by the freshness of fruit again. It is interesting when heated. The acidity comes out more interesting. It would have been better to serve it hotter. Still a bit stiff. Maybe it would be better if I decanted it. Maybe I should let it sit a little longer.

I bought this sake to be left at room temperature even though it is a draft sake, and it will probably come into its own in the summer. The color is slightly tinted. The aroma is mellow. The aroma is mellow, with a hint of koji (malted rice), milkiness, and maybe a hint of pineapple. The taste is also mellow, but also beautiful. It is rich in sweetness and moderate in acidity, and the volume comes with a bang, but for some reason it has a clean finish. It tastes good even at room temperature. Warm it up. The mildness of the sweetness rises and it goes in smoothly, and the volume of the flavor remains the same as it fits better in the body. It's meant to be left on the table, but it's delicious even in its current state! Will it last until summer? It is delicious both at room temperature and heated. How about chilled? I really like Okuharima!

Good evening, Mr. Tarou. I'm uninformed, so I have a question 💦Do you mean that the sweetness seems to expand in a rounded way if it is left at room temperature until summer? In fact, when I opened the bottle, did it seem like it would have tasted better without being laid out? Anyway, it looks delicious and I want to drink it 😋.

Hirupeko. I know this may not be helpful because it is entirely subjective. I imagine that after leaving it at room temperature, the raw sake-like aroma fades and the umami and caramel-like flavors come out, but the cleanliness in its current state was unexpectedly good. It's like that.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I see what you mean, I agree that it skips the fresh-aged aroma and brings out the flavor. You didn't have to go that far to make it beautiful😊If it tastes good now, it will taste even better around summer 😋.

Cloudy, but thinly muddy Lightly tinted yellow and muddy Bananas, tropical fruits, colored flowers, koji, Taiwanese black tea, white jade. Tastes well even at room temperature. Moderate sweetness, refreshing acidity, squeaky texture and bitterness are also pleasant. This is a calm sake, and this is delicious! Warm it up. The main flavor remains the same. It could have been warmed to lukewarm. Naturally it has a more relaxed flavor, and I think many people would say it's more friendly and tasty. But I think it's also quite tasty at room temperature. It's not a very popular flavor, and it may not be good when chilled, but this flavor, which has a kind of tension, is tasteful. I think so. I would like people who like heated sake to try it at room temperature. What do you think?

I think it is called "Ryo" because it is easy to drink after being watered down to 14 degrees. Naturally, it is colored. It is not quite yellow. The aroma is also mature. Banana, apricot, black tea, mushroom, cedar. Maybe even some white beans? Light enough to be cool and easy to drink at room temperature. Very moderate sweetness. The acidity is relatively strong and the astringency gives it volume. However, the umami that can be felt even at room temperature makes this sake special. It is light but has a strong presence. Warm it up. The deep, earthy flavor develops and is indescribably delicious. It is not assertive, but has a strong presence. It would be better to drink it at room temperature than to warm it up badly. If you want to warm it up, do it well. I hope this light, matured sake will spread more and more. Delicious.
