The impact of the name, as well as the force with which it spills when the bottle is opened, is unbelievable!

The attack has a yogurt-like aroma, a hint of sourness, and a refreshing yet full flavor from the oily rice cake. The sake rice is made by Sanyo Bai Sake Brewery's signature "Shin Gin" method. It is a cool, elegant and soothing bottle for the hot season. The label also creates a peaceful atmosphere.

Hououmida Nikko" brewed by Kobayashi Shuzo in Oyama City using water from Nikko
The attack is delicious with a pineapple-like aroma! The taste gradually turns clear and watery, and as the sake flavor passes through the nose, a hint of bitter bitterness is felt, with a slightly long aftertaste.
Deliciously enjoyed ^ ^ ^
The pride of Nagano Prefecture, "Hanasora from Oshinshu".
After the juicy and elegant pear-like aroma spreads, the flavor quickly turns sharp, with a hint of bitterness and a medium aftertaste. It is a wonderful sake that truly deserves the name "Japanese rice wine.
The label design is gorgeous and stylish!

i240 (iwanoi240) Junmai Ginjo Tamakae Unfiltered Nama-shu (Unrefined Nama-shu) Comparison with the earlier Gohyakumangoku
The attack gives a tingling sensation that numbs the tongue. After that, the delicious taste of rice spreads in the mouth. The tingling comes back again at the end. As one would expect from a sake brewery located in Oyado near the sea, the tingling waves come and go^ ^ ^ The aftertaste is long. The aftertaste is long. It is an elegantly dry sake.

Iwase Shuzo / Oyado Town, Isumi District, Chiba Prefecture, Japan
It has a banana and nutty aroma on the attack, a little on the nose, and then turns to rice flavor and bitterness, with a medium lingering finish. Personally, I found it to be an osare sake.
[Sake Brewery Memo]
The Iwase Sake Brewery is the only sake brewery in Oyado that continues to focus on "Yamahai" sake.
The Iwase Sake Brewery has a long history, having been founded in 1723, about 300 years ago. Although sake brewing was not the main business of the brewery, it was passed down from generation to generation, and the brewery began full-fledged operations in the Taisho era (1912-1926). The company has won numerous awards and was recently recognized by world-renowned wine critic Robert Parker in 2016.

The fruity pear-like aroma gives off a sense of umami derived from the rice, and the taste of these flavors can be felt through the nose, making this sake refreshing and crisp.
A bottle brewed by the Bodai-zumi method using Kaze-no-mori ALPHA No. 6 yeast. It is an advanced or dry sake, with a bitter and rich taste, followed by a lingering bitterness, and then a crisp finish.
It has a yogurt-like and fresh fruity taste, with acidity, umami, sweetness, bitterness, and a crisp, elegant, and chic sake. It went very well as is or with a "cannelette" ^ ^ ^.
Koueikiku Anastasia Green
Mikazuki-cho, Ogi City, Saga Prefecture/ Koueikiku Sake Brewery
Fresh acidity, green apple-like fruity taste, rice flavor, bitterness, and a medium lingering finish.
Like its name, this sake reminds one of the changing of the seasons as the leaves on the trees turn green from spring to summer. Sake that goes well with May. Just before GW^ ^ ^ I'm in the mood.
It is recommended to be warmed (いたる) rather than chilled (冷や).
Wrap it in plastic wrap and warm it in the microwave for about 80 seconds to give it a sweet banana-like aroma and sweetness! It is like having it with sweets.
It is also sweet when served cold, but I felt it was lacking in sweetness. Warming it up will bring out its character.
Utashiro Hanaakari" has a gentle, fruity mouthfeel, and is a very refreshing sake (with a medium aftertaste). It is suitable as an aperitif or after-dinner drink.
Sado City, Niigata Prefecture / Tenryohai Shuzo

BANSHU-IKKON Junmai Ginjo Aizan Nama
Sanyoibai Shuzo / Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture
This is my favorite sake from Hyogo Prefecture (personally, so far)!
It is a lovely sake with a fruity and juicy pear-like flavor and sweetness on the palate, going through phases of acidity and bitterness, and finally finishing with a refreshing kick.
It is made from "Aizan," Hyogo Prefecture's rice suitable for sake brewing, polished to a flat rice (shagin).
A pink sake with a harmony of sweetness and sourness that reminds one of spring. It is more like amazake or drinking strawberry yogurt than sake. It is a quirky bottle, but one that you will miss when spring approaches.
