Sake rice: Yamae-Nishiki (only Miyamanishiki is shown in the photo)
Very clean taste with no sticking points!
Yamane Nishiki is definitely preferable to Miyamanishiki!
Sake rice: Nipponbare (Shiga)
Unexpected deliciousness!
The label gave the impression of a modern sake, but I was betrayed in a good way🙆.
The brewer recommends it on the rocks, but it can be tasted well cold.
Sake rice: Koshitanrei (50% polished rice)
Sake rice developed by Niigata Prefecture over 15 years (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku)
☆Snow chamber storage
SEVEN is a brand created to commemorate the 7th generation of the brewer and toji.
Fruity 🍓.
No clingy sweetness that Junmai Daiginjo tends to have.
Yet, it is not too watery or too refreshing, and the flavor and aroma are well defined by the "sake" taste!
As one would expect from Shirotaki!
It tastes better when it's lukewarm!
Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture
Perhaps because it is a blend of matured sake and junmai daiginjo, it is rich and delicious without the lack of junmai daiginjo!
Sold by: Masuya in front of Sagami Lake Station

There is no so-called ginjo aroma, but it has a delicious sake-like aroma.

A delicious sake that is very drinkable!
Sake rice: Omachi (Polishing ratio 80%)
Yeast: 1901*.
It has been a long time since I have had Seikagami. It was rich and delicious!
*The following is from SAKETIMES
The latest yeast developed by the Association in 2014.
Sake is now attracting attention from around the world, and exports are increasing rapidly.
On the other hand, a substance called ethyl carbamate, which is found naturally in fermented foods, has been designated by an international organization as a "possibly carcinogenic substance.
Sake also contains a very small amount of this substance.
It is formed when alcohol reacts with urea produced by yeast.
Although the amount of urea contained in sake is not higher than that of other alcohols, if international regulations become stricter in the future, there is a possibility that sake may be shut out of the market in the country where it is produced.
Therefore, JIFA developed "Urea Non-Producing Yeast No. 1901 (KArg1901)" as a yeast that does not produce urea in the brewing process and achieves excellent sake quality, using technology developed at the National Brewers Research Institute of the National Tax Administration Agency (now the Japan Liquor Research Institute) from the high ethyl caproate-producing No. 1801.

Hot and spicy! Very thick!
I prefer it at room temperature (warmed and cooled) 😋 because I don't like the spiciness when it's lukewarm.
I think I may have twisted it a little bit after leaving it under room temperature for about a year after purchase 😢.
Too bad the bottle cap is not very nice.
It didn't fit well and the inside of the lid was a little damaged....
