This time, too, I chose a brand that is a regular on the ranking list. Fortunately, there is a liquor store near where I live that specializes in Kaze no Mori, so I will continue to patronize them. The first bottle was a standard Akizuho 657, which had a lot of slight effervescence when poured into the glass, and a fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas and the flavor of the rice spreads out. The coolness and fruitiness lingers in the aftertaste. The satisfaction of each sip is very high. It has a thick mouthfeel, so it would go well with meat dishes or yakitori (grilled chicken).

The first bottle of Sentori series was opened. Since I am a beginner, I decided to start with the popular ones. Sentori is recommended by YouTuber "SakeLabo," so I wanted to try it first. The Classic Omachi also has a soft acidity with a gaseous taste that spreads on the palate. If I were to use an analogy, it would be the sweet and sour taste of fresh strawberries in the mouth. I was surprised that it is not as sweet as I expected. So personally, I would say it is not a dessert sake, but more of a food sake that goes well with sashimi. I am looking forward to drinking the other sakes in the series!

I chose Otters as my first step into the sake swamp. This was my first time to buy a bottle of Otters. I used to buy sake only at supermarkets and chain stores, so I only just now realized that there are many liquor stores where I can buy sake at a fixed price. My tastes are fruity and umami, so I define Otters 45 as the royal road and the basic taste of Otters. The sweetness and umami of the rice spreads in the mouth, and the taste spreads down the throat without an alcoholic attack. It goes well with toro and fatty sashimi. I will continue to be addicted to sake that surpasses Ottersai. 4649!
