When I travel, I always end up buying sake that I had never seen before. This one was apparently a brand from Akita Prefecture. It was a sake that was easy to drink without any peculiarities, or at worst, it was a sake that was hard to distinguish its characteristics. While drinking it, I looked up the name of the brewery and found that it was from the Isshaku Suisei brewery. Tax included 555 (300ml)

First time I drank it in several years. Aroma, light acidity sweetness. I have the impression that it is a refreshing sake, as more and more sake with a distinct flavor are being produced and we tend to drink nigori-style sake with a peculiar taste at this time of the year. It is very easy to drink.  I had the same impression when I wrote a post a few years ago. This sake has been ranked high in saketime's ranking for a long time, and although it is not bad at all, I remember wondering why it was ranked so high even though it is a kind of seasonal brand. 1980 including tax

This is a brand limited to sake stores at Suruga Sake Brewery in Shizuoka City. I guess this sake is mainly wholesaled to izakaya (Japanese style pubs). There is a sake brewery in Shizuoka City called Haginishiki, and Haginishiki is located next to Haginishiki, but Haginishiki is not related to Haginishiki. Haginishiki sake.  This Nishiki brewery's sake was easy to drink as an in-between-dinner drink, with a slight bitterness without being too sweet when drunk warm. Tax included 1892 (1800ml)

Mitsutake Shuzo's sake is more commonly seen in Invitation to the Demon World and Fist of the North Star shochu. They also make sake. The aroma is of aged sake, but easy to drink. It tastes like caramel, like Shaoxing sake. The bottle and the label are interesting because they look like whiskey.  The label says "non-blended," but I think it is blended because it contains distilled spirits mixed with brewing alcohol. I have no regrets in my life. I am already drunk. 1628 including tax

It has a nice aroma, just the right amount of sweetness, and is a clear, clean sake. However, there are a lot of different kinds of this kind of sake. They have all risen to a higher level, and as a result, no matter which one you drink, it's still good. It is often said that the story is important, but it's not about taste anymore. It's good and I recommend it, but once is enough. New brands of locally brewed sake are being introduced all the time, and there is no such thing as a "miss" anymore. Is it good or bad? 2090 including tax

My family bought it because it had a half price sticker on it. I wonder if this store puts it on products that have been manufactured for a year. The half price sticker at drugstores is not based on the regular price, but on the suggested retail price, which is a trap. Well, it is still cheap. It is mild on the palate, but has a slightly bitter taste at room temperature, but it is good when heated. I think packaged sake is best when heated. I said that, but I ended up drinking it at room temperature. 405 including tax (900ml)

The previous Shiraginkai was unexpectedly non-foaming, but this one was properly slightly effervescent. There is no disappointment in Kangiku. It is delicious with sweetness and sharpness. Kangiku is tasty and relatively easy to obtain. Shinshu Kamerei is hard to find, and Kouei Kiku is too far away from the store for me to have the guts to go there, so Kangiku is great. Tax included 1925

Sake made with red yeast, which is sometimes seen these days. It is a fire-aged sake with a degree of 14 degrees Celsius. It has a sweet and sour taste and is easy to drink. Slightly fizzy, maybe. 1595 including tax.

Purchased at a local supermarket. Fukumitsuya's website has Kagatobi, but not Kagamato. I found it on the website of Mitsubishi Foods. I found it on the website of Mitsubishi Foods, but the distribution was different.  It is easy to drink cold without bitterness, but even easier to drink when heated. It is a junmai sake and at around 1,000 yen, it is a reasonable food sake. 1091 including tax (1800ml)

Delicious. The aroma is good, and there is a slight bitterness, but nothing unpleasant at all.  I was surprised to see that the price of a four-pack of sake has gone up by about two cans of beer, even in this day and age, when the appeal of W was that it was affordable and tasty.  The quality of sake is getting better and better, so much so that I can say that any sake sold at a local sake shop tastes good. In other words, you can't go wrong with any of them, and it's getting to the point where it doesn't matter which one you choose. In order to choose again, you need something extra, and W, which has lost its price advantage, is no longer a reason for me to choose it in the future. 2066 including tax

Sake stored in a tunnel. I thought it might be a bit peculiar, with lees and such, but it was not at all, and it was easy to drink. It can be drunk either cold or warmed. I think I'd drink it warmed this time of year. 1986 including tax

It was a souvenir that I received. The impression was that it was an easy-drinking food sake.

This is a rice-only sake made with out-of-order Yamada-Nishiki rice. The brewery recommends it cold, but I was not strongly impressed with the regional junmai sake, so I warmed it up. It had a slight bitterness, and I think I preferred the Gekkeikan Tsuki that we compared. To be honest, it didn't really hit me either cold or warmed. This was the first packaged sake from a Shizuoka brewery. Are there others? 1097 including tax

There is a select store in Umekoji Hakkosho, Kyoto, where I purchased it. It is a so-called craft saké brewery that makes a variety of saké, but there are no local stores that carry it, and this was the first time I saw it in person.  It was more ordinary doburoku than I expected. I should have bought one with different ingredients, but I bought the cheapest one I could find. But I bought the cheapest one I could find, and it still cost over 3,000 yen for a four-pack. I have always thought that the Japanese translation of the word "kraft" is "expensive. In the past few years, craft sake has been popping up all over the country, and I can't help but feel that it is like a believer's business, where saké, beer, and whiskey are priced high enough to pay for themselves on a small scale, and a community is formed to do business with a highly conscious clientele. I am sure that I am not one of the target customers of this brewery, thinking that it is too expensive. 2057 including tax (480ml)

A major standard sake that contains no sugar or acidifiers, only rice, rice malt, and brewing alcohol. Only? Is that a strange thing to say? It has no peculiarity to begin with, but when heated slightly, the alcohol smell disappears and it becomes even easier to drink. The slight sweetness is also nice. We use packaged sake for cooking, and since we use a lot of it, we have to compete to consume it, but it is good for a variety of things. It is also inexpensive. Tax included 1019 (2L)

It had been a while since I had tasted the first sake from Kochi, which surprised me with its gorgeousness, and I found that a local liquor store was selling it. So I decided to try another sake that I had never bought before. The aroma is mild, but the taste is mellow, and this is a good sake. Since it is an unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake from the first pressing, it is usually drunk chilled, but it was also good lukewarm. Sake from a solid brewery can be drunk at room temperature or warmed up. 1540 including tax

I bought it from a mail order site I found by chance and knew nothing about, but bought it because of free shipping. It came by cool delivery. It has a modern aroma, sweet, sour, bitter, and slightly effervescent taste. It is easy to drink, but the strength is normal, so be careful not to drink too much. Nagano sake never fails to please. Sake rice is Hitogokochi. 1870 including tax

At a local sake shop during my trip, there were several varieties of Heki version and others, but I thought this would be the one. The aroma is good without being too loud, and the taste is enjoyable enough on its own. This brewery is good no matter what you drink. 1760 including tax

The aroma is mild and easy to drink. The manufacturer recommends drinking it cold, but it is also good warmed. Personally, I think that sake from major makers is best served heated. I bought it from Yodobashi, but I wonder if they offer free shipping. 1010 including tax.
