Today is sobriety day. But since dinner was bonito sashimi, I bought a bottle of Hidakami "Yasuke" for my wife and father-in-law. I have had it before so I'll hold off and post it as an evaluation note. 👩‍🦰 Wife: 7/10 "A little sweet?" Impression. I wonder if the umami was perceived as sweetness. Aroma of ginjo? 👨‍🦳 Father-in-law: 8/10 "Excellent", then just barely "Superior". Good!

Hi Kozhikozhi 😃 I can't believe you bought Hidakami-san to go with your entrée while you yourself are abstaining from alcohol! That's a great mentality 🤗. And your wife finds Hidakami dry taste sweet! You are a strong man 😁Noby and I seem to have the same taste!

I bought this at the supermarket for a quick drink. The aroma is fresh, the mouthfeel is light, and the middle taste is sweet and dry. The aftertaste is clean and easy to drink, and I felt the atmosphere of a light, dry Niigata sake. My wife and father-in-law liked it very much. I think this bottle is suitable for those who like the classic type. Preference score: 6.5/10 Aroma: 1.0|Mouthfeel: 1.0|Medium: 1.0|Final taste: 1.5|Price: 2 👩‍🦰 Wife: 7-8/10 👨‍🦳 Father-in-law: 7/10

コジコジ
I met this bottle at a liquor store where I sometimes drop by. I was excited even before opening the bottle, because it was a "surefire Kangiku" and distributed only in Chiba. The concept of using local rice and water to make sake that Matsuo and Chiba can be proud of is wonderful. The sake was right in the middle of my favorite. The aroma is gently fruity like a pear. The mouthfeel is sharp and smooth, with a moderate sweetness and a pleasant gasiness. The medium-bodied palate has a well-balanced harmony of acidity, bitterness, and spiciness. The aftertaste is refreshing, with a dry bitterness that quickly breaks off. The price is also very reasonable at around 1,500 yen for a four-pack bottle. The only drawback is that it is rare and hard to find. The best accompaniment is sashimi and sushi purchased at the supermarket, and it goes great with them. My favorite score: 9.5/10 Aroma: 2.0|Mouthfeel: 1.5|Medium: 2.0|Final taste: 2.0|Price: 2.0 → Full marks if the mouthfeel is a little less sweet!

A bottle that had been lying dormant at a friend's house for a long time was opened because it was a waste. It has a strong sense of maturity, and although we usually refrain from rating it, it has a Shaoxing-like atmosphere when paired with Chinese food. The mellow richness and aroma derived from the aging process was a perfect match for the food, and we enjoyed it. The container is cute. (*No preference score)

I bought it at Seijo Ishii on my way home from work and chilled it overnight before serving. The aroma is full, and the mouthfeel is slightly sweet and mild. The inside is dry and umami, with a slight tangy taste, but it is also unique. The aftertaste is a little bitter. Cool it well and you can enjoy its freshness and the depth of the sake's traditional sake yeast. Preferred Score: 6.5/10 Aroma: 1.5|Mouthfeel: 1.0|Medium: 1.0|Final taste: 1.0|Price: 2.0

Purchased at a nearby supermarket. The aroma is full and the mouthfeel is sharp. The sweetness in the middle is a little bit cloying and leaves a long aftertaste of bitterness. The price is attractive for daily evening drinking, and the high cost performance is excellent. Preference Score: 6.5/10 Aroma: 1.0|Mouthfeel: 1.5|Medium: 1.0|Final taste: 1.0|Price: 2.0

A super-cosy bottle that can be bought on a whim at a roadside station. It can be carried at room temperature and costs less than 2,000 yen. And most importantly, it has a taste that is right up my alley. The aroma is slightly fruity and the mouthfeel is sharp. The tangy stimulation is pleasant, with a strong flavor and a light bitterness in the middle. The aftertaste is smoothly cut and well balanced, making it easy to pair with meals. I bought it as a gift for a distant relative, but I also bought a bottle for home and enjoyed it cold. My wife and I quickly emptied a four-pack of it together with seasonal sea bream sashimi (laugh). I highly recommend this sake for both everyday drinking and as a gift. Preference score: 8.5/10 Aroma: 1.5|Mouthfeel: 1.5|Medium: 2|Final taste: 1.5|Price: 2 → Highly satisfying in terms of both cost and taste. It has a perfect balance of sharpness and umami, and is a candidate for a regular sake.

Lunchtime drinking at PARCO's Imadeya (lol). Although it is not listed as a sake with a specific name, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it is in fact a junmai daiginjo. The aroma is gorgeous, with a fruity melon-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow and soft, with a slightly sweet but umami flavor. The aftertaste is clean and crisp, giving the impression that the sweetness is not dragged down. We paired it with a rare piece of tuna grilled on a half-skewer, but it did not clash with the flavor of the ingredients and went well with them in an elegant way. It is easy to drink despite its sweetness, and can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal. Preferred Score: 7/10] Aroma: 2/2|Mouthfeel: 1/2|Medium: 1/2|Final taste: 2/2|Price: 1/2 → Excellent drinkability with a crisp aroma and aftertaste. If it were a little less sweet, I would like it even more.

100% Honorific Fuji Kihei Special Junmai Honorifuji (Shizuoka Brewery, Shizuoka) The slightly sweet, gentle mouthfeel is harmonized with the full flavor and mild acidity typical of Etsuyofuji, resulting in a clean taste typical of Shizuoka. The lingering aftertaste fades away quickly, and the lightness is pleasant without tiring. It is a well-balanced sake that is easy to pair with food and can also be enjoyed on its own. We were very happy to have received this sake from our relatives in Shizuoka. Preference Score: 7/10 Aroma: 1|Mouthfeel: 1|Medium: 1|Final Taste: 2|Price: 2 → This is an easy-drinking beer that goes well with a meal. It has no outstanding individuality, but it is a bottle that can be enjoyed with peace of mind, including the price.

The refreshing fruity aroma spreads with a gentle gaseous sensation. While refreshing, it also has a solid core of umami, making it a bottle that is "just right for today's mood. It has a pleasantly refreshing aftertaste and will accompany any dish. As the name suggests, this is a sake to be enjoyed on a calm day in a relaxed atmosphere.

The soft sweetness and refreshing acidity spread softly in the mouth, with a lingering aftertaste that recedes gently. As the name suggests, this wine has a bright and light taste as if sunlight is shining through, and the more you drink it, the more you will feel refreshed. It has a perfect balance of juiciness and transparency, and can be enjoyed leisurely with a meal. It has such a gentle finish that the word "delicious sake" comes out naturally.

taking again The moment it enters the mouth, the clear alcohol taste spreads quickly along with a soft sweetness. In contrast to the slightly effervescent Sanchi, this one has a clear, transparent mouthfeel. Refreshing yet intoxicating, this is the perfect bottle for a summer evening. It is not too light, but has an impressive core flavor, and is recommended to be drunk chilled and crisp.

The moment it is poured into the glass, a gentle gaseous sensation rises. In the mouth, a slight lactic acidity spreads, giving it a refreshing mouthfeel reminiscent of yogurt. After the light, elegant flavor spreads softly, the lingering aftertaste is pleasant. It is not flashy, but its exquisite balance and transparency make it an appealing bottle. It is also perfect as a mealtime sake on a hot day.

I bought one for myself at Shin-Yamaguchi station on the way home. I had it well chilled at home. It was a little sweet at first, but quickly became dry. It has an elegant fade and is a great souvenir sake. I enjoyed it with whale meat and turban shells I received as a souvenir. Good as a food sake!
