This is my second Yusa. Today I found a fruity aroma, slightly sweet, slight acidity. Very slight bitterness. Yes, it was delicious today too. I will buy it again. The aroma and taste may differ depending on your physical condition, temperature, and the temperature of the sake. Or maybe there are individual differences in the month of manufacture? On the second day, the fruity flavor remains the same, but the sweetness has increased and it tastes like a pear.

Gekkeikan Josen is a standard sake. Food critic and cooking instructor, Mr. Yukio Hattori, who passed away on October 4, mentioned Gekkeikan Josen as one of his three sake selections on his radio program before his death. He said that Gekkeikan Josen is a sake that goes well with all kinds of food without being overbearing and is very reasonably priced. It is certainly an easy price to buy. This time, I bought a trial size 300 ml bottle. There is nothing special about this sake, which may be its main feature. That may be why it is a sake that goes well with any kind of food.

After a very long time, a standard sake, Hakkaisan. A cheap sake with brewer's alcohol added. It is a cheap sake with brewer's alcohol added. Perhaps it is because I have become accustomed to sake. I rediscovered it to be an ordinary sake.

We tried Daiginjo Homare a while ago with the white label, and this time we tried the black label. It was described as having a banana-like aroma, but my wife and I did not detect any banana. The price is low for a Daiginjo, so we did not have high expectations, but I guess it was worth the price.

My wife wanted to buy this sake. The purchase was made at Japan Meat, which is attached to the Joy Hong Park Yoshioka store. The price was 1,978 yen. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet rice aroma. It has a strong, dark, flavorless taste with a complex combination of sweetness, slight bitterness, and a very slight sourness, giving it a delicious depth. It is a candidate for repeat purchase. Here are my impressions on the second day. The first glass, the impression was a little milder than right after the bottle was opened. It is still as delicious as ever. The second glass has a sweetness that somehow reminds me of strawberries, perhaps due to a slight rise in temperature.

Kanto-no-hana "Betsuatsurai" (limited quantity)? Purchased at the Sei Shuzo direct-sales shop. The fruity aroma, sweetness, and slight gassiness make it an unforgettable sake. It is a sake that I would like to keep as one of my favorite sake if I have the chance to get it again.

I kind of bought it. It was a disaster for my wife and I😅. It's like a diluted acerola type juice. On the second day, the acidity was slightly reduced. It's like thin shiso juice. Homemade shiso juice is better 😅

It's been a super long time since I've seen Kikusui. And I bought it because it was the first time I saw it in a package. I bought it at Mega Don Quijote for 327 yen. Junmai-shu, raw and unpasteurized. No brewer's alcohol added and 17.5 degrees. I opened the bottle with high expectations! The aroma is somewhat peachy, with a hint of sweetness that is also peachy. There was a very slight astringency and bitterness. When we drank it, it was so light that we didn't feel it was 17.5 degrees Celsius.

It has been a long time since I last visited the famous Akagi Sake. This is another sake from the Sei Shuzo brewery, but this time under the "Akagi no Megumi" brand recommended by Maebashi City. I think I like "Meibo Akagi" better than "Kantou no Hana" of the same Sei Shuzo brewery. It is available at the nearby "Kaze Line Fujimi" for ¥1,540- (tax included). The aroma, sweetness and gassiness are stronger than Kanto-no-Hana. Sourness is less than that of Kanto-no-Hana. It has a very slight bitterness. I have already repeated it many times, and I like it. It tastes good on the second day, but deterioration is undeniable. To put it better, it becomes more mild and angular. The gasiness is comparable to that immediately after opening the bottle.

Purchased at Mega Don Quijote. Price: ¥1,408-. We were attracted by the fact that it was made with wine yeast, and also that it has a Sake strength of minus 23, which is perfect for wine lovers like us. We thought it would be perfect for us wine lovers. It smells like wine, tastes like white wine with acidity and elegant sweetness, and has a slight bitterness. It has a very slight bitterness. I picked up Momogawa again by chance, but without any preconceptions, I picked it up intuitively and found it to be Momogawa again, just like the other day. This one will definitely be a repeat customer. Postscript On the second day, the sweetness increased and the acidity became milder. For some reason, it tasted like a Chardonnay.

Purchased at Joy Hong Park Yoshioka store. ¥928-. I bought this sake because it has a sake degree of minus 6. When I opened the bottle, there was no aroma, so I wondered what it would be like. I drank only a small amount of the supernatant at the first sip. It was clear, but had a rich and mellow sweetness from the rice. The alcohol content was 15%, but I felt it was stronger than that. In the second glass, I shook it well and mixed the lees well. The texture was thick like drinking yogurt. The flavor was even richer and fuller. It was a very "Torouma" taste. Postscript On the second day, the aroma and sweetness increased.

My wife bought this sake from Nagano Prefecture. The trial size of 300 ml was surprisingly good. Immediately after opening the bottle, there was an aroma of rice. It tastes like white wine. First, there is acidity and a hint of astringency. Sweetness. We are wine lovers, and this is a sake that we would like to keep in our memories as a good choice.

Purchased at Japan Meat, which is attached to Joy Hong Park. I was intrigued by the lot number and decided to purchase it. A faint fruity aroma. What kind of fragrance? I don't know... Sweetness, slight bitterness. The alcohol level is high at 19 degrees, perhaps due to the addition of brewer's alcohol? However, if you think the alcohol taste is noticeable due to preconceived notions, it is not so, and it is rather elegant. In general, it seems to be a good cosmetic beer. It may be too subtle for those who do not prefer to drink with brewer's alcohol. Postscript The second day, the aroma has decreased a lot. The sweetness is still there, but the slight bitterness is gone. It is not so much that it has become milder, but more that it has lost some of its bitterness. It was a good thing I drank more last night.

First Nabeshima, purple label. I was told to be careful when opening the bottle, but I didn't need to be careful after chilling it thoroughly. The first glass had a fruity aroma like peaches. The sweetness was impressive. The second cup, the aroma was like peach, but the aroma through the nose was like strawberry. Tonight, I drank only 3 cups. I sealed it to look forward to tomorrow's change. Postscript The day after the bottle was opened, we drank it with dinner. Unlike last night when it was too cold, when I uncorked it, it was quite vigorous. It has a peachy aroma and sweetness with a very slight gassy feeling. More than last night I did not feel the strawberry-like aroma as I did on the day the bottle was opened. The only thing I regret this time is that I chilled it too much on the day of opening. I will be careful next time.

There was a label warning to open the bottle, and it popped quite a bit when opened! The fruity aroma, pear-like sweetness and acidity, and strong gasiness were all to my liking. Postscript The next day after opening the bottle, the bottle was opened again with great vigor. The sweetness and acidity seemed to have increased slightly. The gaseous taste was the same.
