To save money, we purchased 9 bottles of the most cost-effective "Sake Specialty Store Kagiya" in Osaka!
It seems that Horiichi is only stocked once for a trial run and cannot be purchased again .......
The taste is the same as the last time I tried it, moderately modern and dry, with a taste that I never get tired of 🍶.
I wonder if I can keep it for a month ... .
I mean, Atago no Matsuri is going to be the No.1 check-in frequency with this purchase lol.
(I plan to post no comments on future fresh and dry ones)
I actually bought two bottles when I went to buy it, and I checked in for the first one when the first one was available, so I will continue to record the second one as well!
*Photographs are used throughout 😂.
It's not as sour as the first bottle at all and has a faintly gassy taste.
I was surprised to see such a difference in taste even though I bought two bottles from the same fridge!
I bought a pack of Kamo Nishiki, which seems to be a PB from Yamaya.
It has a peachy aroma, moderate sweetness, and a bit of acidity, but it is modern and easy to drink.
I'll take care of it when I'm short of money ... .
The paper carton makes it easy to dispose of trash, which is also a high point!
The price was so low that I checked to see if I had not mistaken the price tag for a four-pack bottle.
I bought it immediately because I thought I had seen it recommended on YouTube by Sakelabo.
It has a subtle melon-like aroma, gentle sweetness and acidity, and a slight aftertaste of alcohol.
I never thought there was anything better than Kamikimoto Dewanosato ... . We are just grateful for the corporate efforts of the brewery. 🙇🏻♂️

Peach-like aroma and juicy sweetness. The aftertaste is cut by bitterness. The gasiness is not as strong as that of Black Label and is only faintly perceptible.
After shaking
The flavor is well balanced, but the aroma and bitterness are assertive.
My impression is that the Black Label is a bit less dry and more fruity.
Both are cheap and I like the taste, so I will buy them again next year!
It has a clear sake quality with a hint of sweetness, acidity, and the umami of rice that disappears quickly.
The only thing that bothers me is that it has a dusty, aged aroma at first... .
The top of the cap
The moment I opened the crown cap with tremendous gas, the lid blew off ... . LOL!
The gas was so strong that it almost blew the lid off, so it was almost like sparkling wine. It tastes like sparkling wine.
The bitterness lingers for a long time and is very refreshing.
The price is also very inexpensive, about 2,400 yen including tax, about 300 yen less than Sensation's Black Label, so I can recommend it!
I might buy the vermilion label Extreme too....
After shaking
The bitterness, sweetness, and acidity have all become flat and flat due to the creamy effect of the nigorigo.
I'm starting to think that it's possible for the taste to become more cohesive after shaking 🤔.
The taste has a gentle sweetness, a hint of acidity, and a slightly bitter aftertaste that cuts through.
In general, I like this strain because it is clear with a moderate assertion of flavor.
Jay & Nobby, Yamazan is very popular, isn't it? I'm glad to see that our favorite liquor store has recently started carrying it. It tastes refreshing and is quite to my liking!
When I first drank it, I thought it had a fruity sweetness and a hint of sourness, but the aftertaste was bitter and refreshing.
I was surprised at how different it tasted. I wonder if the first time I drank it, it was just the top layer.
I prefer the first taste ... . LOL!
A gassy and moderately sweet taste, followed by acidity and a slight alcohol tingle.
The sake has a pop quality like the label, but the impression is that it is surprisingly dry.
The Macho series also includes other sakes with different rice polishing ratios and rice varieties, so I would like to try a variety of them.
The first thing you feel in your mouth is the gasiness and white wine-like aroma and acidity, followed by the natural sweetness and umami of the rice, which is hard to explain, but the taste is complex, with a richness but not too heavy in body... It has an interesting sake quality.
Aroma of alcohol (no tingling) with a gentle sweetness and aftertaste.
It feels like an orthodox dry sake, but strangely enough, it seems less classic than the regular dry Junmai Yaichi.
I wonder if it is because the flavor structure of Manjikoto~ is simpler.
■Top clearness
Slight sweetness and sourness. A gaseous and bitter taste comes out later, and the aftertaste is refreshing.
From the label, I thought the taste would be similar to that of Izu-no-sato, but it's not at all 😂.
At first I thought it tasted like cider because of the strong gassiness, but the bitterness is also effective, so it tastes more like a lemon sour.......
After shaking
Thanks to the nigori, the overall flavor became milder and more coherent.
After shaking, the nigori sake seems to be adjusted to the correct taste.
*If you leave the bottle half empty, you can't taste the supernatant because it gets mixed in even if you don't shake it ... .
After shaking
After the rice flavor and sweetness, there is a gaseous aftertaste.
The gasiness is so strong that it is hidden by a hint of bitterness.
Among the nigori sake I bought recently, this is the second most intense after Sancho-me no nigori sake.
■Top clearness
Muscat-like aroma and gentle sweetness, with a hint of sourness before being cut off smoothly by a peculiar bitterness.
■After shaking
The aroma and sweetness of muscat hides the sourness and bitterness (especially the bitterness).
Hence, it feels like a citrus flavor.
I wonder if this one has a more coherent taste.
I wondered if it would be better if I drank the old label Sensation black or something, because it had a bit of an aged aroma, but it was fresh and tasty, probably because it was freshly packed!
It's reasonably priced and I'm satisfied!
■Top Clarification
Gentle sweetness, melon-like aroma and a gasiness that makes you think it is a sparkling wine.
It finishes with a bitterness that is not too assertive in the aftertaste.
The balance of flavors is exquisite and delicious, just like Banshu Ikkyo.
■After shaking
The sweetness, aroma, gasiness, and bitterness that were felt in stages in the supernatant are all gone in one fell swoop.
The lees are also involved, and the milky taste of the rice adds a sense of unity to the flavor, making it easy to drink like a juice.
