Yamakatsu
This is an unfiltered, unpasteurized junmai sake from the Shindo Sake Brewery in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. It is made from 100% Miyamanishiki and 70% polished rice, but the rice flavor is not as strong as expected, and the taste is refreshing and clean. It has a refreshing, clean taste, but also a strong umami flavor, making it a very tasty sake that is aptly named "Soyokaze".

Kitanohomare K30 Konjun is a junmai sake from Godo Shusei brewed at a factory in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The amount of koji used in the brewing process is 1.5 times larger than usual, resulting in a rich, full aroma and flavor that spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake that will not be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food.

This is a Junmai-shu (Junmai sake) from San-Shouraku Shuzo, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, Japan. I bought it as a souvenir from a business trip to Toyama. It is made from 100% rice grown in Toyama Prefecture, with a rice polishing ratio of 65%. It is a delicious sake with an aroma reminiscent of Yamahai and a strong flavor of rice. It is a sake that does not lose to strong flavored dishes, and the sake smell is really good in a good sense.

I received this sake on a business trip to Toyama. It is a sake made by the Uozu Shuzo brewery in Uozu City. They say it cannot be called junmai-shu because they used rare rice called "Kame-no-o" even out of equal rice, but it was made only with rice. It was a delicious sake with a pleasant aroma and flavor of rice.
