It's insanely delicious! 24B Y of Kenryo. You can see the sweetness and complexity from the color, but it has a good balance of chocolate, smokiness, and umami. Kenryo is the strongest sake for food from the cosmetic point of view, so why isn't it popular?

Youho, Junmai-shu, raw sake. Good with hot sake! Umami, spiciness, and miscellaneous flavors. Good balance. At the end, the sourness of the acidity makes the cup go further ^_^.

It has a good flavor, but it didn't have the smoky taste typical of Tamagawa. I thought that Yamahai is good for Tamagawa.

Can be served chilled. Or hot! This is a complex sake with a perfect balance of bitterness and umami. You can even taste a mushroom-like flavor, an exquisite taste that is hard to describe ^_^.

This is a 12 year old Kenryo. It is originally a robust sake, but the flavor and complexity have increased and it is delicious!

It's a tipple, but it's been a long time since Tamagawa! Smoky and addictive aroma that only Tamagawa can provide. It is a Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu, so you can feel the juicy sweetness and acidity of the rice, and it is a very delicious sake. I'm sure it would be delicious with a splash of soda😌. I won't because it's too good to drink. 😄.

It's been a long time since I've had a juicy sake. It is delicious when it is chilled. It has a peachy ginjo aroma and a strong rice flavor and sweetness that is delicious. Even if you drink it diluted with a little soda water, it is delicious because the sweetness and the aroma are firm. ^_^

I enjoyed it with hot sake. Like Kenryo and Kuro Matsu Kenryo, you can really feel the flavor of the rice. It doesn't have much bitterness or complexity, so it's a sake you can drink all the time without getting tired of it.

This is a strange sake that retains the strength of Tengu-Mai's Yamahai, but also has the fruity taste of a Ginjo. It's great served cold or hot ^ ^.

Snoclet. Still consistently delicious! Fruity and gassy, with a good balance of bitterness. It is a modern style sake that is a good introduction to sake. It's amazing that this is made with only rice, koji, and water.

This is Gunma Izumi's Yamahai. Makes you want to drink it hot forever... It's got a great flavor, yet it's refreshing. I think it's a heated sake! A sake to repeat ^_^.

Bought a bottle and drank it at camp! It was the first time in a long time that it was refreshing and fruity. The sweetness is moderate, but I could feel the richness of the rice and the fruitiness, and it was delicious ^_^. On the second day, the sourness and bitterness became less pronounced, and the sweetness and flavor increased. Personally, I like the first day better ^_^.

It's fruity and refreshing, or mildly umami, or something in between. If you heat it up, you can feel the gentle umami and it becomes a good taste that you don't get tired of drinking ^_^.

Go back to your roots and drink Kenryo hot. It's an old-fashioned, big-boned brew with a lot of flavor. It's delicious!

I also started with Kenbishi. It is the best sake!

Maruwa-san, I started out with fruity, refreshing sake, and ended up with the umami dry sake of the Ikegan Yamahai style, and the cheap but full of flavor Kenryo ^_^.

It's good with hot sake. It's less peculiar than Tamagawa's Yamahai series, but it's got that robust umami flavor that is typical of Tamagawa, and the alcohol that comes out of the nose makes it refreshing and easy to drink, and it goes well with meals. I prefer the punchier Yamahai when I drink Tamagawa, but many people seem to find this one easier to drink ^_^.

It is a freshly squeezed raw sake from Zanko Hourai. But it is an old sake that has been aged in the refrigerator for 2 years. When I drank it cold, I could feel the richness like brandy. I thought it would be fun to warm it up, so I heated it up, and it was the best sake I've ever tasted, with richness and flavor. Hooray for matured sake! ^_^

I was able to buy a bottle of 2016BY at a reasonable price on Mercari, and being that it was 5 years old, I was excited to try it cold first, and it had the depth of flavor and mellowness that only an old sake can have, with an outline that never gets old! I was so happy that I heated it up... and needless to say, the harmony of richness, umami, and bitterness! I'm so sorry I bought it at such a low price, but... really good sake has the unique flavor of old sake even after many years. I was impressed ^_^!

A stable Etsukaijin Junmai-shu. It is the best sake to drink hot. It's big-boned, with umami and bitterness. It's dry and crisp, and goes perfectly with a hearty dinner! I'm grateful that I can always buy it at my favorite liquor store ^_^.
