unagi
A clear and beautiful sake. Gorgeous banana aroma, sweetness, and refreshing acidity. There is also a faint scent of cedar-like wood. It has the image of a coniferous forest with a clear stream flowing through it.

The taste is so concentrated with sweetness and acidity that the first sip is enough to make you say, "It's so rich! The taste is so concentrated with sweetness and acidity that the first sip is enough to make you say, "It's so rich!
It has a very dense taste with a combination of umami and bitterness. Yet the aftertaste is sharp and clean.
The aroma is of ripe melon and banana fruit, with a slight sesame nuance coming from the back.
The taste is concentrated as if pulled by gravity, and is truly gravity.
The sweet aroma is reminiscent of Jikin, and its transparency is also characteristic.

Melon mint soda. Aroma of young melon, sweet first taste, but with a tight acidity and a fizzy, refreshing impression. The second half has a bittersweet bitterness and a minty, refreshing taste that lingers on the palate.

A sake with a robust flavor and a strong sense of rice, it is a very Japanese sake.

Mellow and sweet sake like a well-ripened melon. The acidity is quite low and there is no gassiness, making it a mild sake that is not unlike Sengoku in a good sense. The umami is moderate, so it is not too heavy, perfect for the latter half of summer when you are tired. The table is also interesting.

Pear and honey. This is the freshest and most delicious kijoshu I have ever had. The sweetness is moderate, easy to drink and refreshing, so much so that one wonders where the sugar went, even though it is made with sake. The lightness of this sake with 11% alcohol by volume may be due to the strong acidity and the low level of saccharification. At any rate, it is very tasty.

This sake is as rich and matured as its name. The flavor is robust, but the sweetness is moderate and the acidity is firm, so you can drink it one after another with good sharpness.

The 12 minutes to open the bottle was the longest ever, and the only thing to be expected was the appearance of the red tag on the bottle, my favorite warning to open the bottle. The 2cm of oli that had accumulated at the bottom of the bottle came up with the bubbles at once, and the bottle was automatically stirred.
Freshness, mellowness, and a high density of acidity, sweetness, and umami all coexist with a crisp, clean aftertaste, making it a strange sake that can be served cold or warmed. This is delicious.

It is a well balanced sake with a sweet and umami taste and a hint of acidity, despite being a fizzy sake with a strong sparkling taste. It is a delicious sake that is different from the sake of recent years, which emphasizes freshness and juiciness, and has a traditional sake character and juiciness that coexist. The aroma is energizing, somehow reminiscent of Lipovitan D. The slightly bitter taste leaves an impression that lingers on the palate. The slightly bitter taste leaves a strong aftertaste.

As the name suggests, this is a ripe melon. It is a sweet, full-flavored sake that is fermented with yeast from the juice around the seeds of melons that have ripened to the point where the fruit is soft and transparent. It has such a profound flavor, and yet it is sharp within 3 seconds after swallowing. It is delicious.

This year's UA Kuwagata is dry and fizzy.
It has a fresh fruitiness with a sweetness like a young, green melon and a low acidity. The lot we drank was the latter half of the golden crown gas-filled type. If I had wanted, I would have liked to drink the first lot of the second fermentation type in the bottle.

Citrusy, like a fresh-peeled, fresh-squeezed lemon sour. Strong acidity and clear sweetness, slightly effervescent and refreshing. Finishes crisp with a slight bitterness in the second half. Rather than lactic acidity, it tastes like acetic acid mixed with mainly citric acidity. This level of acidity is delicious with Niimasa Flax Cat or Imada Shuzo's Hakubi Request.

A local sake I encountered on my travels. It is a sake with a strong flavor, sweetness, and depth, with a lightness and gorgeousness of brewer's alcohol.

It has a robust rice aroma and flavor that is suited to its austere label. Yet it has little sweetness and little miscellaneous taste, with just the right amount of acidity to make it disappear softly, making it a truly cloud-like sake. The more you drink, the deeper the flavor becomes. It is fun to imagine that Yamata-no-orochi would have no choice but to be killed if they drank this kind of sake.

It has a robust, acidic and umami flavor, and is a Shakamacho. It has a slightly yellowish taste, and has a sweet and sour matured taste like a 20 year old plum wine. The aftertaste is clean and leaves no unpleasant taste. It has a macho, but not heavy, sharpness that is definitely Shakamacho.

I thought it would be a massive, sturdy mountain, but it turned out to be a sharp mountain like the Alps with coniferous forests.
The wine has a clear, clean acidity and a sparkling effervescence. The sweetness and umami are modest and not thick, and it finishes crisply with bitterness in the second half. The aroma of cedar, probably from being brewed in a young cedar vat, gives the impression of a mountain. If you drink it blindfolded, you may mistake it for Shinmasa.
