The combination of the piquant gasiness and malic acidity makes this sake perfect for summer. I think it has a deeper sweetness and flavor than Kukai. At Matsuzaki's
Perfect for this time of year for a crisp drink. Citrusy taste like lemon and apple and easy to drink at 14°C. Good with both Western and Japanese food. A bottle can be drunk over several days and is delicious all the way through. At Mr. Mekada's
Stored in the refrigerator for about a month and opened the bottle. The lid flew off and the bubbles overflowed. It tastes like champagne! It's too good to waste if you don't finish it once you open it, and it's expensive, but if you drink it, you'll understand. Nishikiya.
Purchased at Kitano Ace at Omiya Station on the way home from work. It does not have a gorgeous or fruity aroma, but rather a peculiar fermentation smell right after opening the bottle, but the rice flavor and acidity are delicious and deep in flavor. I like the caramelized flavor of Junmai, but this is also delicious.
Purchased a yukata sukata (summer kimono) in search of summer sake. This is the first time for both the appearance and the ginpu. It has a refreshing ginjo aroma, freshness, rice flavor, and pleasant acidity. It has a good body and is delicious. It makes me want to drink the other styles. At Mekada
I found it in the alcohol section of Yaoko at Utsunomiya station and bought it. The price was a bit low, but the quality was fine and it was the usual CEL24 pineapple juice.
The label is cool and summery. The refreshing sweetness, acidity, and calpis flavor, combined with the slight effervescence, make it easy to drink. It is also a great cosmetic sake, costing less than 3,000 yen for a bottle. Try it at Mekada.
I bought it because of its cool summer sake-like label. Although it smelled like seme right after opening the bottle, it was easy to drink with its refreshing white peach aroma and light, milky taste. The price of 1,300 yen for this is a godsend. At Mekada
It was getting hot, so I bought a bottle of Omachi for a refreshing sip of Kaze no Mori. It is sweet and delicious with aromas of white peaches and bananas and a slight effervescence. The flavor was richer than I expected, with a delicious body and complexity. Great cosmetics. At Mekada-san
It was the first dinner with my wife and son-in-law in a long time, so I opened a bottle of the new Sakura Sakura I had just bought. It has a restrained aroma and the usual sweet and sour taste. The aroma of the wooden vat and the milky flavor of the lactic acidity combined to finish the bottle in no time at all. At Mekada-san
My first Ozeyuki. Thank goodness for junmai daiginjos under 3,000 yen. As the label says, the sake is fresh, fruity, juicy, soft acidity, and easy to drink. It is neither good nor bad, but delicious and not unique. At Hashimoto's
It has a modern taste that differs from the standard Bunraku line. It is fresh and fruity, yet has a good body and sharpness. Cosy, too. At Matsusaki's.
I had decided to buy Yamama on this business trip to Niigata and did not hesitate to buy it just as the medium picking was available. I was excited to find Abe Green next to it on the shelf.
Unlike the classical image of the label, Yamama is modern and has a rich flavor. It was very tasty, but I found the Tasake I compared it with to be deeper and more complex in flavor. At Nishikiya.
It's been a long time since I've had tazake. This is the first time for me to buy and drink it by myself. The sweetness and umami of the rice is rich and the balance of sourness and bitterness is as expected. At Mekada-san.
I saw it at Yaoko in front of Utsunomiya Station and bought it. They had Souhyo, Kameizumi, and Sanuki Kuraudei, so there was quite a good selection.
The sake is not very distinctive, but it is easy to drink and reassuring. The price is also inexpensive, which is nice.
