I happened to be in Hokkaido, so I used this app to search for recommended sake that I could buy at supermarkets in Hokkaido, and this sake brewery's Kamikawa Taisetsu came up and I wanted to buy it, but they did not have it, so I bought another brand from the same brewery. As a result, it was a winner. I chilled it with natural cold air and it was just right. It is a mild and sweet sake with a mild mouthfeel, although it does not have a strong aroma. Even so, I liked the lingering aftertaste that is unique to sake. The well-known saying "you can drink it like water" was true. I would like to try other brands from this brewery, including this recommended one.

Bought it because it was cheap at the supermarket. The aroma is not that great, and the taste is a bit dry while still having the sweetness of rice. The reason for the low price was that it was made exactly one year ago, so it may be appropriate to withhold my evaluation of the sake itself.

A hand-me-down from my official visit to Yasukuni Shrine. It was the last working day of the month and I chose sashimi for my entrée. The impression of a sweet sake with a rounded taste. The throat feeling was very much like that of sake. It was a moment when I felt that this is the kind of sake that is offered to the gods (laugh).

I had some business in Yokohama and bought it at Sogo on my way home. I was going to buy one bottle, but the clerk recommended it to me when I was hesitating. I told her I was going to have sashimi (more tuna) to go with my sake, and she recommended this one. I heard that this "brewed with isolated yeast" is rare. The aroma is unique and somewhat weak. The taste was dry, with a hint of sweetness from the rice at the end. It was worth the consultation and went well with sashimi. The reason this was recommended to me may have been due to the influence of the brewery by chance, but I am thankful for the good encounter (laughs)!

I chose it from the menu because it goes well with both kabayaki (broiled eel) and shiroyaki (grilled white eel)! Drinking it by itself, the drink was sweet and very easy to drink. As the restaurant introduced, it was very good and perfect with eel.

I bought it because it was something I don't usually see at the stores I go to. The rice was developed by a sake brewery over a period of 12 years, apparently before it was registered as a variety. The aroma was faintly sweet. The taste is mild, and the sake is sweet and tasty from the moment it enters the mouth to the throat.

I bought this sake with the intention of drinking it while I was back home, but I was unable to open it while I was back home. The aroma is almost nonexistent compared to other sake. However, as it is a summer sake, it feels like water in the mouth at first, but after you put it in your mouth, you feel a strong thirst, so I guess it is dry. It was delicious. I found this app's recommendation for you as ⭐︎×2, and I thought it was not a mistake at all.

Procured on my way back home. I had never seen this brand before, so I chose it. I bought it just before dinner, so I drank it at room temperature. The aroma was fragrant, the taste and mouthfeel were well balanced, and I thought it was a sweet sake. I would like to try it chilled tonight and see how it changes.

Finally unleashed a sake that I had been anxious to procure for a while. It has a sweet aroma and a consistently sweet feeling from the moment it enters the mouth until the end of the drink. It is not spiky like a rose, but rather a delicious sake that evokes the elegant feeling of a rose.

I went to Hokkaido for a reason, so I bought a local sake from Hokkaido. According to the introduction of this sake, the aroma is mild, the taste is light, and the mouthfeel is medium. The taste was sweet, and after the sip, it seemed mellow and easy to drink. It was recommended to be served at room temperature or warmed to human body temperature. I drank it between chilled and room temperature, so it may taste different from the introduction...

I've been meaning to drink it for a while and finally bought it. It has a very mild and sweet impression in the mouth. The aftertaste is crisp, and although I can't describe it well, it gives you the feeling that you've had sake at the end. I thought it was a good sake that you can buy anywhere for about 1,000 yen.

I had procured it at the beginning of the year and didn't have a chance to drink it, so I opened it only now! The sweet aroma gave a promising atmosphere for the taste. The mouthfeel was mellow, and the taste was delicious, with the sweetness of the rice very apparent. The throat was also mellow, and I could taste the best parts of this sake until the end!

I wanted to drink Nabeshima for the first time in a while, so I went to a special distributor and found this on the shelf, so I bought it! As the note said, the gassy feeling came first (lol). The aroma of the main body was first-rate, and the taste was crisp with a sweetness. I personally liked the fluffy sweetness that lingered in the throat area.

I bought it at the liquor store in the nearest station because it was the first of the year. The aroma was good, the taste was mild, but the throat was crisp and dry. It was a delicious sake with a hint of sweetness from the rice. I think I would have served it with sashimi.... By the way, I never saw it when I was in Miyagi (laugh).

Purchased on the recommendation of someone at work (probably unmarked). This time it had a "+" on it, but since I was going to drink it today, I called it a non-issue (lol). When I put it in my mouth, I thought it might have a strong sour taste from the way it stimulated my tongue, but when I actually drank it, I got the impression that it was very mild and sweet! But when I actually drank it, I got the impression that it was very mild and sweet, yet still very drinkable. When I looked at it more closely, the "+" seemed to be a mixture of shochu from sake lees, which was a taste that made sense when I was told (sweat).

We had it with yakitori (grilled chicken). The taste was very mild, yet the sweetness of the rice could be felt. The grilled chicken (salted) was a perfect match with the sake. I will refrain from taking pictures for various reasons.

I bought it because it happened to be in a Seven I stopped by. The drink was mild and easy to drink with a sweet taste. It seemed different from the atmosphere around the station... (laughs)

Sake I bought for New Year's Day. The aroma was gentle and sweet, so I expected the taste to be like that as well, and it was plump, sweet, and gentle. The lingering taste after drinking was also very good, and I have come to like the saké more and more.
