Purchased at a local liquor store.
Seemed inexpensive for a well-known brand.
The first thing I noticed was the mellow aroma. The flavor of the rice was so mellow that it seemed to have been condensed.
When I drank it, I could taste a little acidity and rice sweetness, and it was very tasty.
It was the first time for me to drink Yamahai, and I was disappointed that I could not perceive any particular difference from the others.
I heard that it has a yogurt-like sourness and a coconut aftertaste, but I couldn't tell. Very frustrating.
However, for the price, it was a very satisfying dish.
I would definitely ask for it if it is available in a pub.

Purchased at a convenience store.
Despite the fact that it is famous for its delicious sake, it is very nice to be able to buy it easily.
When you drink it, the delicious taste of rice spreads in your mouth, and the crisp acidity refreshes the aftertaste.
Personally, I like the design of the drunken whale label the best.

Fukuju純米酒 フクロウボトル
ロッキー
385 yen for 180 ml.
The mouthfeel was mellow, refreshing and very tasty.
It was a little fruity or sweet aroma and rice flavor in the mouth.
The aroma and taste were similar to those of wine, and it was a fresh taste of a product that did not seem like sake.

I bought it because the pop-up said it goes well with both Japanese and Western food.
This was the first time I had purchased Kouei Kiku sake. It had a very pronounced acidity, something I had never tasted before.
It was sharp and dry, with a grapefruit-like bitterness that was said to bring a crispness to the lingering taste.
I wondered if this was the reason why it tasted fruity but had a slight bitterness to it.
I think I understand sharpness and dryness a little.
There are many other kinds of Kouei-Kiku, so I would definitely like to try them.

Ordered at an outing.
The aroma was very nice.
The fruity aroma was contrasted with a clean and crisp aftertaste.
After drinking it, I learned that it contained a lot of rice flavor, and I regretted why I had not tasted more of it, and at the same time hated my tongue for not noticing.
I would definitely like to try it again.

Ordered it for a drink outside.
It was very tasty.
I was disappointed that there was only a little aroma, but as soon as I put it in my mouth, the sweet aroma and a little sourness spread in my mouth and I felt overwhelmed.
The aftertaste was refreshing, and I may mention this sake in the future when asked what my favorite sake is.

It is a Hokkaido limited edition.
The taste was clear and free of cloying flavors due to the 45% rice polishing ratio. As this was my first time to taste Junmai Daiginjo, I was very impressed.
It is said to have a gorgeous aroma and a mellow, full-bodied flavor. In fact, when I drank it, the outrageous umami flavor spread to my mouth, and I would have been immersed in the lingering aftertaste for a minute. I was also pleased that it was a bit dry.
The aroma was also very nice, but I was disappointed that I did not notice the gorgeousness.
Also, I may be mistaken, but it seemed to have a slight acidity.

Sake from Hokkaido.
I asked the owner if there was anything with a good aroma and a clean aftertaste, and he recommended it.
The price was about 1,900 yen for 720 ml, probably because it was a special junmai sake.
However, it was well worth the price, with a good mouthfeel and a refreshing aftertaste.
As a person who prefers dry sake, I was quite satisfied with this excellent product.

Purchased because it was recommended by SakeLabTokyo in their "Sake for Sake" section.
The sake was refreshing, with a sweet aftertaste.
It tasted fresh, and at 1,430 yen, I would say it was a good value for the money.
Also, the book said it tasted sweet like bananas, and I would not have noticed it without reading the book, probably due to my lack of experience.
