I tasted it at a corner shop in Aomori, liked it, and bought it immediately. This is the first Inamuraya brand I have ever had. It has a melon-like aroma, a slightly sweet white wine impression, and a good acidity and sharpness. However, it has a delicate taste, and if you drink it with food, it will go into your mouth unconsciously, so I personally recommend that you savor it slowly and without food.

A colleague gave it to me, a cat owner and sake lover. This is the first time I have tasted this brand. It has a strong ginjo aroma, but more than that, it has a "strong" flavor. The rice flavor, acidity, bitterness, and sharpness were amazing. As one would expect from a 17 degree Celsius bottle. In a good sense, it might be better to drink it without any preconceived notions that it is a junmai daiginjo.

I first drank it at a corner bar in Aomori and liked it so much I bought it. The aroma is faintly melon-like, with a perfect balance of sharpness, acidity, and bitterness. The fruity taste is moderate, making it ideal as a mid-meal drink. However, I recommend lighter flavors with snacks rather than darker ones.

This is a brand that I have grown to love so much that I always stop by the souvenir shop at the airport on my way home from a business trip to Nagasaki. This is the first time I've had this spec, but its fruity aroma and sweet-tart flavor are also my favorite. I will be buying it again on my business trip to Nagasaki the week after next, and I am looking forward to seeing what specs I will encounter this time!

It has been more than 10 years since I last had Kido, and it has been so long since I can't remember when I last had it. The fruity aroma of melon or muscat, and the sweet white wine-like taste made me smile, just as I remember it from the past. I prefer to have it with light rather than strong flavors.

This is my first time to try Hirotogawa's special junmai. At first, it was served cold. The aroma is subdued and the sweetness and umami of the rice is gentle. Then, at room temperature. The mellowness of the rice increased and it became even easier to drink. However, if you drink it with something, it will go in too quickly unless you are conscious of it, so I personally recommend you to savor it slowly without any accompaniments.

A gift from a colleague. This is the first time I have tasted this brand. Although it is a junmai daiginjo, the ginjo aroma is not so strong, and the aroma is of rice rather than fruity. In the mouth, the flavor of rice spreads and is gorgeous. However, it has a clean aftertaste, so it can be drunk all the time as a food sake. It may be better with light-flavored snacks.

A friend recommended this brand to me at a drinking party. I drank it for the first time and was shocked at how elegant and beautiful it tasted. The melon-like ginjo aroma is moderate, and while it has a slightly sweet muscat-like flavor, it also has a clear and crisp taste. The overall balance is exquisite. A definite repeat purchase!

Purchased at a liquor store in Ueno. It had been a long time since I drank Kaygetsu. From the moment I opened the bottle, the fruity aroma like muscat and the sweet-tart taste like white grape juice spread in my mouth, and I couldn't help but smile. There is almost no sourness or bitterness, and the aftertaste, though sweet and delicious, is smooth and smooth, so it goes down smoothly. Personally, I prefer to savor it without snacks rather than drinking it with them.

A gift. This is my first time drinking Matsumidori. The aroma is subdued, and while the mellowness of the rice is strong, it is easy to drink with a variety of accompaniments without conflict, giving the impression of a versatile food sake. It is a versatile all-around food sake, and I may never get tired of drinking it every evening.

We ventured to buy the most reasonably priced josen from a sake brewery in Kurayoshi. We tried it hot, lukewarm, room temperature, and cold, and personally prefer it at room temperature. No matter what temperature I drank it at, it was surprisingly mild, not guttural. It is indeed a "food sake" for people who drink it every day.

A gift. Harushika gives the impression of being super dry, but this is the first time I have tasted a umaguchi. The aroma and acidity are not very strong, and the mellow and gorgeous flavor of the rice spreads in the mouth. I personally recommend light flavors with snacks, as lighter flavors are better than dark flavors, allowing you to drink with a strong sense of umaguchi.

I had a SILVER7 before and liked it better than I expected, so now I went for SILVER1814. The light effervescence, the muscat aroma, the slightly sweet mouthfeel like white grapes, and the slight acidity... I was very satisfied as expected. I am sure to repeat the experience!

A gift. I have had Li Bai's Shojinshu before, but this is the first time I have had Shojinshu made with Tokyo University of Agriculture's "bekonia flower yeast. I compared the two sakes, cold and room temperature, and found the cold one to have a more robust yeast flavor and sweetness. The cold sake has more of the yeast's gorgeous umami and sweetness.

A gift from a colleague who has a friend in Fukushima Prefecture. It was the first time I had tasted this sake, so I looked it up and found that it was brewed by the Kinsho Sake Brewery using water from the Arakawa River in Fukushima Prefecture, which has been voted the best water quality in Japan for 13 consecutive years, for washing rice and brewing sake, and using "Fukunoka," the prefecture's original sake rice produced by the Arakawa Sakura Zukumi Sake Brewery Association. The first time I drank it, it had a fruity aroma like white grapes and a sweet, full flavor, but it also had a sharp taste down the throat. I drank it cold on the second and third days after opening the bottle, but the aroma and taste did not change much. It was quite enjoyable.

Purchased at a sake brewery in Kurayoshi. It has the sourness and sweetness of a lactobacillus-like beverage, which is unique to nigori (nigori) sake, but as one would expect from a 19% sake, it has a strong alcohol taste. However, as I drank it, I became accustomed to it and was able to drink it easily with nabe (hot pot) as a side dish.

Purchased at a liquor store in Tottori City. According to the owner, it is a raw sake that needs to be kept chilled, The owner said that although it is a pure sake that needs to be kept chilled, he also recommends heating it up lukewarm or hot, The high alcohol content was not bothersome, The high alcohol content was not a problem, and the sake was so smooth to the palate that I never got tired of drinking it, In the end, I finished the entire bottle of cold sake. Next time, I would like to try the lukewarm or hot sake.

We had a drink in the train on the Sanin Line. I imagined it would be a dry wine with a lot of gusto, but it was very elegant and had no peculiarities, but it was very elegant and easy to drink without any peculiarities. I was in a drinking mood while watching the rough waves of the Sea of Japan.

This one was also recommended by a colleague, and although I knew the name, this was my first time drinking it. I have not drank many light nigori before for some reason, but this one is very easy to drink and I like the taste. It has a mild taste like a lactic acid bacteria drink, but the balance of sweetness, acidity, and flavor is exquisite, and the aftertaste is refreshing, so it is easy to drink.
