I bought it at a local supermarket because it was cheap. Today's entrée was sashimi and tte-ni (AI recommended this combination for various reasons (laugh)). The aroma was a bit strong, as it is a junmai sake. The aroma was a bit strong, as it is a junmai sake, but once it was in the mouth, the sweetness of the rice could be felt very well. I thought it was dry on the palate. I was worried about whether it would go well with sashimi, but it was too subtle to be served with dote-ni. I don't know why the price was reduced, but I was personally satisfied with it for today's drink.

As a New Year's Eve bottle, I procured this one by Atsuta Shrine since I am in Aichi. It was awarded the gold medal in the "2025 Sake in a Glass of Wine" competition. The aroma is good, and the taste in the mouth is slightly mellow and easy to drink. It is smooth like a sweet sake. It may not be enough for those who want something solid, but I think it is an easy-drinking sake.

I am traveling to Izu with friends, so I bought a bottle of Shizuoka local sake. The aroma is there and the taste is mild and sweet. My impression is that it is a sweet sake and easy to drink. It is just right for drinking at the end of today's trip and may not disturb you in an area with delicious seafood.

I bought this sake on the way back from a trip to Ikaho last month. My specialty, name-buying. The date has changed, but since it is the winter solstice and the anniversary of the moon, I consulted AI on pumpkins and sake, and he said sake was the way to go. The aroma was not that great, but the sake was very mellow and easy to drink after you put it in your mouth. As expected from Takamusume, it was a good sake that is gentle but properly expressed as sake and sweet at the end. By the way, there was no problem with the pumpkin (laugh).

Sake from Furusato tax returns. The brand name did not appear, so I registered it. The aroma was not that great, but after putting it in the mouth, it was a delicious sake with a gusty taste. If it is described as dry-sweet, I think it is dry. I felt it was good when I was in the mood for a strong sake.

This is a sake that I was going to drink at the inn when I went on a trip to Ikaho last month, but couldn't. The aroma wasn't very strong and the taste was sweet. The aroma was not too strong, and the taste was sweet. It has a sweet throat and even those who are not good at sake can enjoy it. As usual, I served sashimi with it, but there was no problem.

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).
