The perfection of Japanese sake, "Kafuda-shu". Sake future and low alcohol. That alone will make you drool. Even with the low alcohol content, the aroma and flavor of the rice comes through with a thump, and it finishes without any cloying taste. It is truly light and fresh. It was a perfect combination of the best parts of traditional sake and the best parts of modern sake.

A sparkling that I like to drink from time to time. This is the first time I've had Sentori's Organic Natur X. I mean, has it been around for a while? Was it made recently? I don't know, but the taste feels right, as if it had been around for a while. The bubbles are well balanced, and you can enjoy the flavor, sweetness, and bitterness all over the place. Sparkling is difficult to make if the amount and strength of the bubbles do not synergize well with the flavor, and I personally have my own standards for the strength of bubbles, and it is not good if they deviate from those standards, but this one is firmly in my strike zone. As expected of Sengoku.

I had a rather good chance to catch a beetle this year (online), but I felt like it was just not the right year. I had so many other things to drink. However, when I came across a real one, and it was the last one. I bought it. It's a stag beetle. Personally, I prefer beetles to stag beetles. I don't know about this year's Beetle, but my impression is that Stag Beetle is more refreshing and easier to drink, and its mild acidity is more pronounced. It is tasty in a summery way, but personally I would prefer a little more umami sweetness. I should have bought this year's Beetle after all.

Hi sikamaru 😃 We too are more beetles than stag beetles! Actually we were also thinking 🤔 it would be good this year 😅 but when we drank it, we were right 👍You should drink the beetles 🌈 🤗.

Thanks for your comments, Jay & Novi. I knew I should have bought it. Beetles. By the way, I'm a stag beetle guy in real life.

As the name suggests, it is easy to drink. Although it is cloudy, it has no particular flavor and can be drunk in a summery way. The simple flavor makes it easy to pair with food, making it a versatile drink.

It is the No. 1 summer sake so far. The color of the bottle is also beautiful. The overall taste is clear and acidic, typical of Akabu, with umami, sweetness, bitterness, and various other flavors following it. It is all condensed and packed in a blue bottle. The complexity is sublimated into a completely simple taste, which is wonderful.

I haven't had a Kaze no Mori in quite a while. I bought it because I wanted a low-alcohol drink, and the fact that it is 500ml is also nice for me personally. It has a refreshing summery taste, and the acidity leaves a lingering aftertaste to finish it off. The acidity is mild without being angular, making it easy to drink. The sweetness and umami are also on the palate without forgetting. I tried my best to drink it on two separate days.

Suminoe dry sake. Is it a summer sake? I am not familiar with Suminoe, but it has a slightly fruity taste. The sharpness is firm. It is delicious. It was cooled down well, so I think I could feel the sharpness more clearly. When the temperature was raised a little, I felt the depth of the flavor, and I wondered if it would become a little mellower this time. Thank you very much for the meal.

Abe Silver. It is a staple that no longer needs explanation, but since sake is not always the same, here are my impressions. It is hard to believe that the alcohol content is 13%. It has a beautiful sweetness and a full flavor. It finishes with a bitter taste. There is nothing to complain about.

Stable Akabu and trustworthy Sake Mirai. It is sure to be good. The mouthfeel is quite mellow. It is slightly sweet with a lingering aftertaste. It is a very beautiful taste. It is the perfect sake for a summer night.

Finally, a good one. Kuheiji's Betsuatsurai Junmai Daiginjo. It has been quite a while since I have had a Kuheiji. It is well-balanced without daring to show too many characteristics. The aroma and taste are both wonderful. It was the perfect closing drink. Thank you very much.

The second glass was from Sanchoroku Farm. It has a strong gassy taste, like champagne. The balance of sweetness and spiciness is exquisite, and the sharpness makes it easy to drink. The anticipation is high as the nigiri finally begins. I honestly don't remember the difference between the different farms, but it was probably the most gassy and refreshingly sweet. Roku, Ni, and Go, in that order?

Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you for your comment. I am envious of your six-farm get. Please note that I have a sweet tooth, so even though it is refreshingly sweet, it may be quite sweet for some people.

I don't buy Mitsui no Kotobuki myself because of its dry image, but I liked this one. It is a summer sake, fresh and fruity. It is the type of sake you would want to drink in summer, as it has a pleasant lactic acidity. It was also perfect for the first half of a sushi snack. I really appreciate that you always choose great sake (that I like).

The first Koshi I ever drank was this year's Risshun Asa Shibori. I remember being a bit surprised at how modern it tasted despite its old-style name. And this time it was Raikou. This label looks delicious. I was attracted by the label, which was completely different from my preconceived notion of Kouko. The mouthfeel is fresh, and I like the slight gassiness. But after that, it hits you pretty hard. It's a thunderbolt, right? It's an adult's gift to drink like a whiskey. Personally, I think it is a little heavy.

Monsoon is the most popular Laughing Four Seasons' kijoshu. I was attracted by the fact that it was a special edition and the modest (luxurious) label. As it turned out, I was in favor of Monsoon. For a kijo-zake, it is rather refreshing and has no peculiarities. The elegant and light taste was new for a kijo-zake, but I also thought that it did not need to be a kijo-zake.

The perfect muscat. I have never really compared it to a fruit, but this is definitely a muscat. The combination of the crispness of the alcohol and the pleasant tartness of the fruit gives it the name FUZZY GREEN. It is refreshing. I like the fact that the label is stubbornly "Masamune" while still having such a distinctive flavor!

It is slightly slightly carbonated. The alcohol content is low and you would expect it to be light, but it has a sweetness that gives the rice a strong flavor and is very drinkable. It is more suitable for a pleasant summer evening than for the heat of midsummer.

Houou Mida looks like I had not seen much of it. I like Black Phoenix and it looks delicious when black. The floral and fruity feel is like a Mita, with a gentle sourness that is sharp. However, as time goes by, the sourness disappears and it is quite a mild sweet and refreshing type. It is delicious. It is a sake to be enjoyed on its own, not with food.

The brewery was destroyed by fire about two years ago. Now, the couple is making Yui at a different brewery. This time it was the Sanzen Sakura type. The other one is Raifuku, I think. Basically, it seems that the only difference is the brewing water. I should have bought both. The taste is mellow and fruity, and has the depth of a noble sake. It is not a trendy sweet sake, but has strength. It is a luxurious taste that should be savored well on its own.

It is impossible to clearly define what one's favorite taste is, including one's mood, but if there were to be a definition of good sake, it would be this one, with a compelling taste. There are many factors such as sweetness, umami, dryness, aroma, sharpness, etc., but this is the base. This is the base of sake.
