Purchased at the sake qoobe Yokote store. I finally found a retro one. I would like to compare the modern, classic, and retro drinks again, but I can't do that at home, so I'll just compare them by image. Retro is impressive for its soft acidity (like lactic acid bacteria). Classic is the same, but I feel it is stronger. It is also transparent, so it finishes nicely, but unlike Modern and Classic, it has a pleasant feeling of flavor spreading in the mouth. This is the lineup of Ichi Shiki alone. If you combine it with other brands, you can live on Sengoku alone. It is wonderful.

A collaboration of Hakurakusei. You can't tell from the label, but once you drink it, you will be convinced that it is Hakurakusei. The fourth glass of Hakurakusei is the last of the sushi. It is easy to drink and the clear and stable Hakurakusei is sinking in. It was a perfect drink to end the meal as it gave me a sense of relief as if I had traveled a lot and returned home. Thank you very much for the meal.

The third drink is Eiko-Fuji. It is a snake eye. It is written "wine yeast" and the bottle is wine, so it looks like a white wine, perhaps because of the image. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it is refreshing and dry overall, but the spreading aroma and acidity are soft, so it is like a Japanese sake in that way. It is not heavy, and the astringent taste makes it a perfect match for the strong flavor of the middle part of the nigiri.

The second glass is Koraku. This is a slightly luxurious sake to go with the first part of the nigiri. The aroma is fresh and elegant. The aroma is fresh and elegant, the flavor is soft and goes well with the crisp sushi rice. It is refreshing, crisp, and perfect. It's been a long time since I've had it, It's a good choice for a meal.

First drink. Galaxy in Akabu. Might be my first time. Compared to the Tasake microbubbles I had the other day, it's a little more refreshing, with a little more acidity. But as a base, it's quite sweet and more like champagne than sake. It's perfect as an introduction to the food I'm about to cook, but I still think sparkling is pretty special when you buy and drink it at home. I'll end up buying it, though.

The last bottle we stocked in Akita is Hanayuyuu Omachi. It has a nice aroma, and the clarity in the mouth gives it a sweet and sour taste that finishes with umami and bitterness, giving us a satisfying feeling that we are drinking Japanese sake. I usually prefer a simple, refreshing sweet sake made with sweetness and acidity, but I especially like Omachi because it seems to have a clearer outline with its umami and bitterness.

Purchased at the sake qoobe Yokote store. When I drank it before, I thought the carbonation was too strong and a bit wasteful. This time, the carbonation was the same, but I could taste more flavor than before. A little more sweetness? I can give my own opinion, but I think it's an interesting sake in terms of its characteristics. When I first drank it, I thought there might not be a next time, but after all, it is sake, and there are changes here and there, so it would be a shame to make a simple decision.

I ordered a clear sweet sake and this is the Sentori that came out. It seems that I am obsessed with Sentori now. I drank it a while ago, but I had a different impression when I drank it with food, and the impression of umami was a little stronger. The new Sentori is more careful in its assertion of acidity compared to the old one, and I feel that it also plays a role in enhancing umami and sweetness. I am looking forward to drinking some of the Sentori that I have not yet had.

Lately, there have been a lot of sacred birds. Seasonal items are full of insects, but there is a really wide range, whether it is cherry blossoms or sparklers. This sparkler was my favorite. Compared to the beetles, it seems a bit sweeter. The acidity and sharpness are clear like Senkou, but it seems to have depth with a little sweetness. It is delicious. If I find a four-pack bottle, I might buy it.

Purchased from sake qoobe in Yokote, Akita. This is my first classic Sentori. When I first started drinking sake, I drank Modern Sentori Kame no O. It is the Sentori Kame no O that got me hooked on sake. I drank Modern Sentori a while ago, so if you ask me what the difference is, it would be the lactic acidity. Both are Ichi style and fire-aged, so they have a stable and clear taste, but there is a lactic acidity before the sourness and sweetness that is typical of Sengoku, and that is the flavor that supports the whole taste. To put it bluntly, it is a modern wine to be enjoyed during a meal, and a classic wine to be enjoyed on its own. I think that if you like Sentori, you can enjoy it either way...

Hi sikamaru 😃 We like Sentori, so surely you can have both 🤗but the classic one, despite its name😅can be enjoyed alone 😙.

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Tourists think that they should buy Akita sake when they come to Akita, but sake lovers just want to buy good sake, so this is a wonderful sake shop that has some of Akita's best sake, and also has Abe, Senkou, and Tasake. Abeno Black is rather dry. I'm getting to know the Abeno series better, and the Black has a strong clear impression and is well-balanced, so it's all-around good. This means that you can drink it all the time and it will run out soon.

It is Dewa Brilliant. The freshness and transparency typical of Omine. The fresh sweetness is pleasant. The acidity and bitterness give the impression of being sharp, but it is really slight, so it should be enjoyed on its own rather than during a meal.

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Whenever I return to Akita, I always stop by this liquor store. On a side note, when I search for a location on this Sake-no-wa, it does not show places far from my current location even if I enter the name of the store. I have never had a bad experience with Tasake, but this Kojo-no-no-nishiki was the jackpot. I think it is probably a characteristic of this rice, but the mellow taste spreads out, and from the soft impression, it breaks off with a sense of transparency. It was composed of only the flavors I liked from beginning to end. I would like to buy it again. It is not easy to buy in Tokyo, but....

UA stag beetle. I know that collaborations have become rather expensive, but I'll catch them when I find them. It's summer, so I can't help it. It's foam, so the stopper is like a beer. When I fearfully opened the stopper a little at a time, I struggled with it for about ten minutes because it really seemed to spew forever. This time, I drank it without mixing it, so at first I felt the carbonation and the sourness that is typical of Senkou. It is delicious with just a little bit of ori which naturally mixes with the carbonation. It's like a stag beetle (?). Second day. It was corked for wine, but the carbonation settled down, so if you go without mixing, the impression is that it becomes a little clearer and sweeter. I quite like it. Third day. If you mix the last bitterness in the cork, it gives a deeper flavor, but I was able to drink it without feeling the extra bitterness I was worried about. Personally, I think the cork should be carbonated enough to return it to normal, but I enjoyed the various expressions.

The second glass of Yamanoi. From the impression on the label, one would think it would be a sweet, mildly sweet wine, but the sweetness is not too much, and the overall impression is full-bodied, with just the right amount of dryness and just the right amount of acidity. It is an orthodox style. It is well-balanced, so it is an all-around good sake, regardless of the situation of the drinker.

Unlike the Sacred Bird, the Red Wu is not associated with seasonal items. When was the last time you had jade? The name, label, and taste of this sake seem to perfectly match. The clarity, refreshing acidity, and deep umami create a three-dimensional flavor. It has a presence that can be enjoyed not only with food, but also on its own. Thank you for the sake!

A drink at a sushi restaurant you are visiting for the first time. When asked, "What kind of sushi do you like?" I am usually asked I usually give a vague order I enjoy giving a vague order. Many sushi restaurants prefer a dry taste, but we do have a "light sweet taste". When I hear the word "Black", I imagine dry, This is a beautiful sweet wine. The taste is not monotonous, It is not monotonous, but has a nice umami taste. It is not so assertive that it interferes with the meal, and it has a good sharpness. It is delicious. At home, I can only handle Yongbottle, but I guess it tastes better in Ippong bottles.

It is a jacket purchase, or rather, a naming purchase. I bought it because of the name, or rather, because of its name. The label looked like a simple champagne, so I bought it on the spur of the moment. I wanted to drink a sparkling wine after a long time. The taste is just like Shinkame. It is dry and crisp with a slight bitterness. The taste is silky with a hint of bitterness. Since it is summer, it is good to drink it refreshingly. If I don't buy it with vigor once in a while, I always end up chasing the same flavor. I'm gradually finding what I like, so I'd like to try new tastes again.

Good morning, sikamaru 😃. I've just had the first sip of Kamikame's sparkling wine! We had the first sip when we were out drinking and it's dry and good as you said 🤗It's fun to discover new things 💡 with a new one you haven't had before!

It still doesn't increase. The quantity. I don't have the guts to go for two bottles. I don't have the guts to go for two bottles, so I wonder if you could do something about it. I'm not sure who you are appealing to, but I really like the taste. It is a perfect example of a balanced and refreshing Omine. It doesn't taste that summery, but that's OK because it's delicious.
