It's like a gin-pack version of Kita Akita. Kita Akita is sold everywhere, but this is the first time I have seen it. It says "brewed with fragrant yeast," but it's not the fancy, modern style. It is 15 degrees Celsius. It can be served at any temperature, but I think it should be served at room temperature or lower. The aroma and flavor will deteriorate after a few days, so please drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle. 1042 including tax (1.8L)

The aroma, acidity, and sweetness seem subdued. I thought it would be a bit more showy. I guess it is an easy-to-drink food sake. However, 1,640 yen for a four-pack of sake that has neither strong nor weak characteristics is expensive. Sake prices will continue to rise, but it is a difficult time for consumers of all ages, whose incomes are not likely to increase. Sake breweries and liquor stores will probably shift their focus to exports and high-end products. 1639 including tax

Hatsukame瓶内二次発酵清酒にごり02

March is the time of parting and we receive farewell gifts, but in these days of abolishing false rites, many of them are sweets and tea, but we received several bottles of sake and shochu. Alcoholic beverages are disappearing from the gift-giving list, but they knew that I liked sake. What surprised me was that all the sake we received were Hatsukame. This is amazing. I had always thought Hatsukame was good, but I guess there are many people who think so. However, there was also a bottle of sake, and it was a bit difficult to move around the bar with several bottles of sake.  The lid is a crown, the bottle is thick and the bottom is concave. It looks like sparkling wine.  When I poured it into a glass, the fizz was much more intense than I had expected. It has sweetness, sourness, and bitterness from the carbon dioxide, and at 13% alcohol, it is very easy to drink. This is a well-made sparkling sake. It's good.

It is very easy to drink, with a strong acidity followed by a touch of sweetness. It is a sake that can be enjoyed on its own. I finished it after a day off from drinking and a drinking session, but later on, the acidity became stronger than the sweetness, and I might have preferred it on the first day. It is good to have such a unique and assertive flavor that leaves a lasting impression. Tax included 1971

Immediately after the bottle was opened, the impression was weak, with a hint of acidity but not much else. Three days later, however, the aroma and a hint of sweetness were noticeable in the nose, and it became a nice, mild, modern-style sake. It is difficult to warm up, and if it is too hot, the acidity will be too much and the goodness will disappear even if the temperature is low. Best served cold. 1430 including tax

I forgot to take a picture for the record and got rid of the bottle.  A modest but very drinkable and beautiful sake with an aroma and light sweetness that lingers on the nose. The aroma and flavor of this sake were best appreciated at room temperature or lower. It can also be drunk heated, but I felt the most of its character at room temperature or lower. 1650 including tax

It looks and tastes thick, but it is surprisingly easy to drink, without any harshness or peculiarities. It is easy to drink, even when heated, so I drank most of it heated. It is also reasonably priced. I would recommend it second only to Kubota in nigori (rice wine) taste and price. 1210 including tax

Mild aroma. It has a rich and rich flavor for a honjozo, and is easy to drink without being unpleasant. When heated, the acidity becomes stronger and the balance is lost. What is this, a honjozo limited to chilled? I've heard rave reviews about this on X and elsewhere, but I honestly didn't understand it.  But I have experienced many times with local sake that last year it was good, but this year it was bitter or had a different flavor, so there may have been times when it was good. Unlike major sake breweries, where the quality is stable, local sake breweries in the countryside are not always the same, which some people find interesting, but I would like to see the standard sake to be stable.

The number of PB packaged sake products is increasing, but they are posted at the manufacturing brewery.  I bought it, thinking it might contain something around "rich". It is a freshly stored sake made from rice, rice malt, and brewer's alcohol, and is labeled as slightly dry and light at 13%. It is the same as Kiku-Masamune's regular sake "Nada no Shiboritate Nama-no Nama-no Nama-no-Shiboritate Nama-Shu". It is light and drinkable like water, with no unpleasant sake odor or bitterness.  We finished it over the course of a month. We use packaged sake for cooking, so I think we drank about 70% of it. After a month, the aroma disappeared and a slight bitterness was felt at the end. Before drinking it, I expected it to be from the Ginpak area, but I had a different impression. I also thought it was not suitable for warming up. Maybe they should start selling this in the summer. 899 including tax (1.8L)

I bought this sake to try a different type of sake. It is a kijoshu type sake made with sake. It has a sweet taste, but not too sweet, and goes well with meals and salty rice crackers. It is amazing that the flavor is retained even after the bottle has been opened.  Although it is a kijo sake, the price is not that expensive. 1925 including tax

Complete jacket purchase. It's nice. It has a unique feeling in the nose when you drink it. I thought, "This is something I remember," and wondered if it was similar to Gekkeikan's Katsutsuki. It was more subdued than the Gekkeikan. Three days after opening the bottle, the unique flavor was gone. I honestly wish it would keep a little longer. 1815 including tax

KAIKAI: Although from the same brewery in Shizuoka Prefecture, the Shitaizumi I drank the other day had a more modern flavor, but this one has a less flashy aroma and flavor, and is more like a clean, easy-drinking, so-called "Shizuoka" local sake. It has the thickness of nigori, though. It is easy to drink, but it is still 17 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to drink too much. Kaiun is a sake you can never go wrong with. 1661 including tax

Junmai is 1815 yen. I bought it thinking it was a bit expensive. The aroma is fruity, and when you drink it, it has a sweet and immediately bitter taste. It has a rich flavor, which is good. I finished it in about three days, but the first day was the most impressive. I used to think that Shizuoka sake had a clean, mature aroma and flavor that was more like a food sake, but it seems that they are producing some very modern and up-to-date sake. 1815 including tax

It has a nice aroma, a nice sweetness in the first sip, and I usually think it's delicious. I thought it was better to drink it by itself than with cheese, fish, rice crackers, or other snacks. There was nothing to go with it. The regular price is 1760 including tax. I thought it was not expensive for a gift set, but when I looked at the receipt, I found that the price included the cost of the box, so I was wrong about the price of Jikin. I thought Jigokin would be more expensive since Shinsei and Sharaku have been going up a lot recently. 1760 including tax

This is a good one. It is an all-in regular sake with sugar and acidity, and for some reason the price is 493 yen with a half price sticker, although I wonder what new sake is when it is shipped in August. It has a strong sake flavor and a nice sweetness. It's usually about 1,000 yen, but I'd choose this one if there were other sake packs of the same price. I bought this at the end of the year, and I think the shopkeeper must have made a mistake when he put half price on a blue pack of cold sake for summer, because it is the same color. 493 (2L) including tax

The company that makes it is Nippon Mori. I wonder if it is a sake version of the Paramount Wine series sold by the Aeon family. I have no information. I guess it is like Mio in a can. It was a half price sticker at Aeon. It seemed to have a little bit of a kick to it. It is a light and easy to drink sake with a low alcohol content and carbonation. The screw cap can is convenient. However, with this amount of sake, I would finish it without using the screw cap. 143 including tax (180ml)

This is good. The aroma is good and the taste is modern. Even special junmai and junmai have their good points. I thought so on the day the bottle was opened, but when I drank it after a day off from drinking, it became somewhat watery. Then the bitterness became more noticeable. As is typical with locally brewed sake, there was a bit of a gap between the two. It is better to drink it up as soon as you open the bottle. 1650 including tax

Hi Jay & Nobby! It's best to drink all of it on the day the bottle is opened. I would like to see an indication of when to drink it, as different liquors have different drinking times.

The bubbles are vigorous sake, though they don't blow because it was chilled. It is cloudy but not amazake, so it is not that sweet, and the carbonation leads to a bitter taste, so I would not recommend this to those who do not like sake. There are many nigori (nigori-flavored) sake available this time of year, and like Senkou Yukidaruma, this is a sake that is well-known as a representative of seasonal sake and is a must-have for those who want to get their hands on it. It is not a bad sake, but it is easy to drink, and although it is nigori, I think it is a beautiful sake. However, I do not think it is right for izakaya YouTubers to promote it as one of the three major nigori sake, even if it is for their own business. 1760 including tax

My impression is that it is a beautiful sake. It has a thin sweetness and acidity. There are six sake breweries in the Shida area of Shizuoka Prefecture, and all of them have a beautiful sake quality. Kikuizui, Hatsukame, Isojiman, and so on. It can be heated by heating it up in a microwave oven without losing its flavor. 1320 including tax

The shelf life was said to have been extended due to the unique old-fragrance-reducing yeast, but the supermarket was not sweet and half price at 493 yen. It was used for cooking at the end of the year, and only about 30% of it was drinkable. It was used for summer sake, and my impression was that it lacked richness or was too thin. It was certainly easy to drink, but it was at least 13 degrees Celsius. As a consumer, I would not necessarily choose sake in summer in this day and age, even if sake was all that was available in the past.  However, I buy it every year for use as a cooking sake at the end of the year, and that's that. 493 (2L) including tax
