I wanted to try Sagami once, so I contacted the brewery to find out which stores carried it and learned about it from their website. I found out on their website when I contacted the brewery to ask them to tell me where I could purchase the sake. It has a gorgeous aroma with various fruity sensations like apple, pineapple, pear, and strawberry, as well as a sweet vanilla-like aroma. The sweetness and acidity were a bit strong, and the bitterness and rice flavor were well-balanced and firm, with a carbonation-like tingling sensation and an alcohol feeling at the end. After a day, the acidity became milder and the overall impression was more rounded. Although it is alky, it is not unpleasant, and I got the impression that it was added on purpose to enhance the aroma. It was a delicious sake with a complex, mellow aroma and well-balanced flavor that could be drunk forever. It was a treat 😄.

It's been a while since I've had Nabeshima-san... I heard that the orange label of Gohyakumangoku is only available as a raw sake. According to the sake brewer, it is brewed with Gohyakumangoku and has a slightly dry and refreshing taste! The aroma is juicy and fruity like a ripe apple or red melon, and the taste is fermented like yogurt. It was slightly spicy with a clean taste as the liquor store said, and although I could feel the alcohol, it was not unpleasant and the balance was as expected from Nabeshima-san 👏. Thank you for the meal 😁.

Good evening, Mr. Zuoton. I didn't know that Nabeshima also had 5 million koku. I did not know that. I will look for it next time. I like Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo Omachi. If you don't have it yet, I recommend it.

Good evening, AAJI! Thanks for the recommendation! I have not had it yet. I am sure it is a sake that has the full flavor characteristic of Omachi and the balance of Nabeshima-san! 😍

I bought this at my favorite liquor store. The lady at the liquor store said it tasted like eating a persimmon. When I tasted it, the mild fruitiness, low acidity, soft sweetness, and rustic flavor were definitely persimmon-like. There is also a slight yogurt-like fermentation and a sweet fruity aroma like red meat melon that is mildly fragrant. The flavor of the rice is also strong, rich and powerful. This is my very favorite sake...I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the treat 😁.

Yamazan is one of my favorite sakes, but I don't see it very often, and when I do, I buy it almost as a conditioned reflex 😓. The aroma was discreetly white grape, muscat, and white wine-like, with a woody atmosphere and a little grain aroma. The taste is full with a strong acidity and a little bit of sweetness, with grape fruitiness and fresh, juicy juice, with bitterness, astringency, and rice flavor in the latter half of the taste. It tastes almost like a white wine. Again, delicious... thanks for the treat 😁.

This is the first sake I've had... from the brewery that makes Hyakujuro. I found a strawberry yogurt-like aroma and a slightly pineapple-like sweet and sour fruity aroma. In addition to the moderate sweetness and strong acidity, there is a slight bitterness in the second half that gives the impression of a clean finish. We enjoyed it deliciously. Thanks for the treat😊.

It is brewed in Omachi and is said to be made with local rice and water. It has a fresh, sour, fruity, woody aroma of white grape type, muscat-like, with strong acidity and umami, moderate sweetness, and a little bitterness and astringency in the latter half. The overall impression is of a strong flavor. There is also a tangy, gassy sensation. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal 😊.

I've been curious about this electric chrysanthemum every time I see a rave comment on your post, and now I have it... I got it with high expectations 😁. It had a strong juicy aroma of honey apple, strawberry syrup, and a little pineapple, and the taste was sweet and sour, with a little bitterness in the latter half. The taste was sweet and sour with a slight bitterness in the second half. It was a juicy, sweet and delicious sake with a shwashy feeling that lived up to everyone's rave comments. I really wanted to try the ogara-mi, but I couldn't get it this time... 😓I'm sure it will be even more delicious with the added sweetness and umami of the rice peculiar to ogara-mi, and I hope I can meet it next year! Thank you very much for your hospitality 😁.

I started sakéwa 2.5 years ago and finally reached 200 check-ins! Please keep up the good work! This time, I went to visit the Nakazawa Sake Brewery in Matsuda-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture. This was the last brewery tour of the year, and it seems that the brewing of sake is about to begin. This sake brewery is open to any questions, and we were given a detailed explanation of the sake brewing process. The tour fee was 1,000 yen, but we were given a ticket for 500 yen to use for tasting and purchasing products, which we felt was a very good deal as well as the tour itself. After the tour, we purchased S.tokyo, which we most wanted to drink at home. I was told that this sake is made from an old yeast discovered in the Meiji era (1868-1912). The brewer reminded us to drink it well chilled 😁. It has a fermented feeling like yogurt, a fresh fruity flavor reminiscent of slightly hard apples, and a little bit of graininess. The aftertaste is clean and the aroma is not so strong. It was a delicious wine that would be more enjoyable to drink in a wine glass.

This is the third time I've had a Seijiki Left Horse Jungin. I was in the mood to drink something I knew was delicious rather than in the mood for a challenge. The fruity aroma and sweetness, like strawberry syrup or ripe melon, were much more restrained than when I drank it before, and the grain aroma, bitterness, and acidity were stronger. The flavor of the rice was as good as ever in this sake♪ It was a treat 😊.

I had previously had Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki Jungin, both of which I remember being delicious, and I recently saw it at my favorite liquor store and decided to repeat it! It has a fruity aroma of apples and pears, and a slight fermentation feeling like yogurt. It has a sweet mouthfeel, a little sourness, and a strong umami flavor. It has a good balance between a pleasant sweetness that comes at first and a refreshing spiciness in the second half. The aroma is mild without being too strong, and the alcohol is mild and easy to drink. Thank you for the sake.

This is the first sake I've ever seen. I thought it would be a dry sake because of the strong pressure of the letters on the label, but the clerk at the liquor store told me that it was surprisingly a sweet sake. The sake brewery is located in Otawara City, northern Tochigi Prefecture, and the atmosphere is similar to that of Fukushima Prefecture's sake. I love Fukushima Prefecture sake, so I bought it. The back label lists seven different types of sake with different rice and rice polishing ratios. I looked it up on the internet and it seems to be a blend of 7 different types of junmai sake! It has a light aroma with the freshness of pears and honey apples and a slight yogurtiness. The taste was mainly soft sweetness like honey, with a little sourness, bitterness, and alcohol, making it an easy-drinking sake that would be gone in a cup before you knew it. The bitterness seemed a little stronger after a day of drinking. It was delicious. Thank you for the treat 😁.

Just last month I was lucky enough to get a 2 year old product with almost the same specs 😁. It's a lightly cloudy sake with a loud pop when opened and a strong gassy feel. Fresh and juicy aroma like red meat melon, honey apple, and pear is moderate, and the taste is mainly sweetness, acidity, and rice flavor, with a little bitterness. There is a good balance between aroma and taste. The aroma was more floral and gassy than the 2-year aged product, and the bitterness was a little more restrained, but the sweet and tasty flavor remained the same, and the aroma and flavor trends were similar. I am glad that the price is less than 1600 yen for this quality. We enjoyed it very much 😁.

This is my first time to buy a lily strain. I was attracted by the word "micro brewing" 😅. I feel the alcohol taste is quite strong. I also felt a yogurt-like fermentation, grain aroma, and woody citrus. It also has a little bit of an old wine feel to it. The taste was quite acidic, with a moderate sweetness, and a little astringency and bitterness in the latter half. Personally, it was not my favorite type of sake... Thank you very much for the drink!

Yamazan is one of my favorite sakes, but it is hard to find... Recently, I checked the Instagram of a liquor store I often visit and found information that it would be in stock on Friday! Since I can only go there on Saturdays and Sundays, I visited the store half expecting and half giving up, but luckily there was only one bottle left. I asked the clerk about the aroma of old sake, which I am not very fond of, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that there was no such aroma. I bought it immediately! When I opened it, there was a rather loud popping sound! Fortunately, it didn't blow out, but there was still quite a bit of fizziness. It is a light cloudy sake. The aroma is quite subdued with a sweet fruity aroma like red meat melon and ripe apples, and there is also a yogurt-like fermentation. I didn't feel the old sake-like quality I was worried about 😁I felt a strong, tangy carbonation, sweetness and umami first, and later a slightly stronger acidity and a little bit of bitter bitterness. It was a delicious sake with complexity and depth. It was a treat 😊.

I had had some sake from the Chiyomusubi Sake Brewery when I traveled to the San-in region the year before last, but this is the first time I have had sake from Tottori Prefecture for drinking at home! I had an image of Chiyomusubi as a dry sake, but this Ichigeki is more on the sweet side. In addition to juicy aromas of green apple and pear, it also has a gorgeous fruity tropical fruitiness like pineapple and mango. The taste is mainly rich and sweet, with not so much acidity, and a little bitterness in the latter half of the taste. It was delicious👍 Thanks for the treat😊

It was purchased at the brewery. This sake also won the gold medal at the Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Awards 2025. Congratulations! This sake has a subtle melon-like aroma. It is said to be a sake that tastes great in a wine glass, but it also tastes great in a sake cup. It was an easy to drink sake with mainly sweetness and less acidity than the raw sake. Thank you very much for the meal 😊.
