日本の酒
Crystal with yellowish green tints. The mellow fruity aroma characteristic of nama-shu rises. Yellow peach, pear, muscat, honeydew, banana, freshly pounded rice cake, Italian parsley, slight malted rice and mozzarella cheese. Ripe fruit sweetness unfolds with a thick texture, followed by moderate acidity and bitterness that pushes it forward. The lingering finish is mainly sweet, with a long finish of bitterness and woody spice. It should be served well chilled so as not to upset the balance.

日本の酒
Greenish crystal. Restrained and floral impression. Aromas of muscat, white peach, freshly pounded rice cake, Oshima cherry leaves, and a hint of honey. The attack is smooth and lush, but soon unfolds with abundant fruity sweetness. The acidity is moderate and backs up the characteristic sweetness. The lingering finish is rather long and relieves fatigue. I would pair it with a moderately thick pork loin steak.

日本の酒
The first sparring of a noble sake. Fine bubbles gently rise. Yellow-greenish crystal. Impression of a fresh yet deep aroma. Pear, lychee, Italian parsley, freshly cooked rice, and water honey peach. The attack is bubbly and dry, but the sweetness and flavor of rice wells up. A deep, sweet finish with a hint of caramel, as in some cotton candy, lingers for a long time.

Cloudy white with bubbles. The aromas of white peaches and lychee coexist with the robust, powerful, low gravity aroma of freshly cooked rice and kuzuyu. The attack is dry with a strong sense of alcohol, and the rising sweetness and effervescence of fruit is immediately restrained and tightened by the umami of rice. With moderate acidity and bitterness, it has a long aftertaste that makes you forget that it is 17% alcohol and continue drinking. It is a multi-layered food sake and an excellent match for Japanese cuisine.

Crystal with a hint of yellow-green. Rich, with aromas of kumquat, ripe banana, cooked rice, chervil, and fresh cheese. Ripe fruit sweetness, supple acidity that extends toward the latter half of the palate, and a banana-centric fruit finish. Pair with fish dishes with butter cream, such as sautéed tongue flounder.

Lemon yellow with greenish tints. Fruity aroma of grapefruit, green apple, a hint of banana, cooked rice, and cream cheese. From the attack, the white wine-like acidity reminiscent of citric acidity from white yeast is abundant and tight, followed by the umami of the rice, leading to a refreshing and rich finish. The rice polishing ratio is 90%. This was my first experience with all rice malt.
