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.

When I came to the sake shop, I thought about buying at least one more bottle. Among the sake in the 1,000-yen range that were now in the minority on the shelves, I hesitated, thinking that Kido or Toyoka's new sake would be absolutely delicious, but this was the one. The reason was that I had never bought this brand before. I thought it would be okay because it was made by an instrumental brewery, but it is still great. Junmai with this aroma and taste. Highly recommended. 1720 including tax

It was cold, so the sake was heated.  Choshi sake in a pot on the stove. I thought it might be too hot, but it was perfectly fine. Cold sake has a strong sake-like taste, but heated sake has a lessened taste. It has a hint of sweetness, and you can drink it while it's hot. I wonder what dry taste means. 875 including tax (2L)

No strong gas or anything like that at all. I took it out of the fridge, opened the bottle normally, and there are no bubbles. Huh? Smooth, light and easy to drink. It's like Kubota nigori with some bitterness. Yes, it is similar to Kubota's nigori.  Kangiku is a good brewer because it is easy to find and there are many stores that carry it for a local sake. Tax included 1815

One cup of Ozeki nigori sake.  It is sweet and smooth, but there is a bit of sake bitterness at the end so it doesn't end up too sweet. The alcohol content is 11-12. It is good if you are more than a little bit of a sake drinker. It's not an entry-level drink for those who don't like sake at all.  I finally found it. There are surprisingly few places that sell this kind of major sake, and you can gradually come to expect that this is probably the place to go if you want to get into the market. However, I would like to see a wider selection. 273 including tax (180ml)

Long time no see, a local sake shop in Shimizu. I thought it was gone, but it was normal, huh? Is that how it is? I thought it would be more fruity and sweet. Rather ordinary. I saw a lot of tweets about sake, like melon, fruity, sweet, etc., so I guess I expected too much. This brand is a place that releases seasonal sake in a flurry, so it's easy for them to stand out in the sake Twitter community, and their comments are all side-splitting and safe. Junmai Daiginjo for under 2,000 yen including tax is good.  I drank some sake last night that was left in my glass for a whole day and didn't finish it, and it was delicious. I had thought that this kind of unpasteurized sake would deteriorate quickly and become tasteless. Maybe it is ready to drink when it is left at room temperature with the bottle open. My impression after drinking it was that I expected it to be on the level of "Furen no Freiren (Funeral)" in this season's anime, but it was just the apothecary's soliloquy. It tastes good, but it is to be expected. 1799 including tax

This, for all intents and purposes, is targeted at the generation of old people who saw the commercials. I bought it, but I'm an old man. The manufacturer recommends heating it to lukewarm. The ginjo aroma is better at room temperature. It tastes a bit like a thicker junmai ginjo from a big manufacturer. I remember the old commercials were a bit more revealing. 295 including tax (180ml)

Sake purchased at Aeon, cheaper than Aeon's PB regular sake. The fact that it is not junmai sake means that it is either made with out-of-equal rice or with less than 15% rice malt, or it is made in a different way. The seller, Suminoi Sake Brewery, used to be a big brewery in Niigata, but went bankrupt and is no longer brewing sake. This sake was planned by a Tokyo-based sake OEM company and produced by Kitanoseki Brewery. I don't understand it very well.  At room temperature, it tasted a bit bland, and I thought it was just a pricey sake, so I used it for cooking, but when I heated it up, it became characterless (not that it wasn't delicious) and I was able to finish it in a leisurely drink. I think that the basic principle of sake is to heat it up. It is also fun to buy cheap packaged sake to drink as a cooking sake. 756 including tax (2L)

 This was a winner of the IWC award campaign for the installation. Gimpak is a good sake that is easy to drink, with no unpleasant taste, and has a low-polished, regular sake smell without the so-called "cheap sake" smell. I served it with Iburi Gakko tartar sauce I bought at Cardi's. It is also good. It is also good.  Gimpak is available at supermarkets, convenience stores, and drugstores. I think they are placed there because they sell well. I am glad to see more and more mass merchandisers offering affordable, easy-to-drink sake.

 I got it in the spring and it has been in the fridge for a long time. The aroma is light. It tastes like water. It has no peculiarities and is a sake to drink slowly with snacks.  I had just found a pack of cheap rice-only sake (not junmai sake) and compared them, but this one had a much more beautiful taste.  What bothered me a little was that even though it was made in March, fire-brewed, and stored in the refrigerator for a long time, the aroma was a little off, but only a little. If the sake had originally had that kind of aroma, I apologize for being rude, but sometimes I notice a change in the flavor of locally brewed sake, even if it has been fire-aged. There are convenient words like "maturing," but I am a little concerned about it.
