I was very curious about this sake after reading your review of Sake no Wa. I finally got to see it... ♪ It has a ripe, sweet aroma of apples and melons, with an elegant taste of sweetness and acidity. I felt a sense of gas and a little bitterness in the second half. It is juicy sweet and delicious. This is my favorite one. Thanks for the treat 😁.

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 😊.

It is a gift from a person to whom my parents have always been indebted. Words like "kurahakushi," or "hidden warehouse," are very heartwarming. The aroma has a hint of rummy aroma. The flavor is centered on a slightly strong acidity and sweetness. Although the acidity is a little strong, the sake is easy to drink without any peculiarities. The modest aroma keeps you from getting tired of drinking it, and it is a good sake to drink with food. The alcohol is mild and it was served cold. Thank you very much for your kindness.

It is said that this sake was awarded GOLD (2nd prize) in the Junmai-shu category of the 2025 SAKE COMPETITION. I visited the brewery and purchased a bottle. I am not the only one who wants to try this award-winning sake... At a liquor store I once visited, I heard that the quality of sake from this brewery has improved dramatically over the past few years. They seem to be gaining in popularity. The aroma is yogurt and melon-like, with a hint of alcohol. As the name "Umakuchi" implies, you can taste the umami of the rice, and the acidity is just right. The mouthfeel is a bit sweet, but overall it was a dry and refreshing sake. Thank you for the meal 😊.

I bought this at a supermarket near my parents' house. It is nice to know that local sake is sold at regular supermarkets. It is a summer-only sake. The cool bottle and label are nice. It has a gorgeous fruity aroma, like rumney or melon and a little pineapple. But the aroma is mild, with a bit of sweetness and bitterness, and a touch of alcohol. The second half was refreshing and typical of summer sake. It was a treat 😊. After I finished drinking it, I looked back at my records and found that I drank it last year at the same time 😅...

The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is mainly sweet, similar to Kame-no-o. It is also low-alcohol and has a gentle taste. The aroma is slightly melon-like, but the flavor is quite subdued, and I felt the flavor of the rice was stronger here than in Kame-no-o'o. It was delicious... a treat 😊.

My nephew bought this one too. Good selection! 👍I also brought a bottle of Nichinichi Yamada-Nishiki for my parents' house, and we had an unexpected Nichinichi drinking comparison! This sake has an elegant aroma of melon and sweet aroma like cotton candy. The mouthfeel is also very gentle, probably due to the low alcohol content. The sweetness is the main flavor, with a little sourness. The aroma was more gorgeous than that of Yamadanishiki. The sweetness was elegant and light without being clingy, and it was delicious. Thank you very much!

I was lucky enough to buy Yamazan once and enjoyed it so much that I have always wanted to repeat it, but have never had the chance. When I went back to my parents' house, my nephew who came back at the same time bought it for me! 👏👍 The sparkling made it more effervescent, the fresh fruity muscat-like aroma was mild, and in addition to the sweetness and acidity, I could also taste the umami and bitterness of the rice. It was a delicious sake with a good balance of not only sweetness but also a refreshing second half. It is more like champagne than sake.

Toyo Bijin, which we had a draft of last December and liked very much. This time it was fire-aged, but I had high expectations for it. It has a sweet fruity aroma like ripe green melon, with a strong sweetness, followed by acidity and rice flavor. It was a very tasty sake, with a little bit of alcohol, but very easy to drink.â There are many delicious sakes from Yamaguchi prefecture! 👍 Thanks for the treat 😁.

I was quite into purple space last year. I think I see it less often than before, probably due to its growing popularity. I saw it for the first time in a long time and bought it. It seems to be the first Murasakyu sake brewed with flower yeast. The aroma is reminiscent of pineapple and strawberries, and the taste is rich and juicy with a strong sweetness and acidity. The Nadeshiko label we received this time seemed to have a little more alcohol than the others. We enjoyed it again... a treat 😊.

We were lucky enough to encounter it in July following June 🎵. The aroma was of ripe red melon, mango, and other tropical fruits, with some graininess. The sweetness was more subdued than the Yamae-Nishiki Junmai-Ginjo we had last time, but the taste of the rice was more pronounced. The balance of acidity, umami, and bitterness is excellent. It was very easy to drink, with a little tangy gas and a spicy taste, but the alcohol was not noticeable 👍We hope to see you again. Thank you for the meal😊.

I enjoyed the Tokusen Junmai that I had previously received, so I tried the Tokkami as well. The special junmai had a fruity aroma with a hint of pear and sweetness, but this one was more fruity, like apple or a little pineapple, with a strong yogurt-like fermentation. The taste is more acidic, with a clean sweetness, a little tangy gasiness, and a bitter aftertaste to tighten the palate. Personally, I preferred the special junmai, but it was a delicious sake...Thanks for the treat. ☺️

This brand is brewed in cooperation with seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture. This year, Saura-san and Shinzawa Brewery are the leaders, and we received the one from Shinzawa Brewery! The aroma had the air of a ripe red melon, and although I thought it would be a sweet sake, the sweetness was surprisingly moderate, giving the impression of dryness, with a beautiful acidity, umami of rice, and a strong sense of bitterness. It was a sake that went well with a meal with a clean aftertaste, perhaps because it is led by the Niizawa Brewery, which brews Hakurakusei. Thank you very much for the meal 😊.

The warning on the outer lid, "Be careful when opening the bottle, or the bottle may fly open," scared me a little, but I carefully opened the bottle little by little. The inner lid was a little lifted, but there was no spillage, and the bottle was opened safely with a popping sound. It has a fresh aroma of watermelon and melon with a tangy gasiness. The second day, the gaseous feeling was gone and the bitterness was a little stronger. It was a treat 😊.

This sake is from a sake brewery in Aizuwakamatsu. I had it for the first time. It has a tangy, sweet, fruity aroma like pears, alcohol and freshness. The taste is based on sweetness and acidity with a bit of bitterness and a touch of gas, it was a delicious sake👍. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjo if I see it! Thanks for the treat😄.

The tour of the brewery was a visit to a museum that exhibited sake brewery tools used in the past, but when we applied for the 1,000 yen sake brewery tour plan by Jalan, we received this sake and a premium sake tasting as a souvenir. The regular tour alone costs 350 yen, and the tasting is also charged, so it is a good value for money👍. We enjoyed this sake on the bullet train on our way home! It had a fruity sweet aroma of melon and muscat. It has a strong alcohol taste and acidity, giving the impression of a dry, refreshing sake. It has a delicious rice flavor, but I could not detect any bitterness. It is suitable for a mealtime drink. I enjoyed it at room temperature, but I thought it would be a good sake to warm up. Thank you for the sake! For souvenirs, we bought the junmai ginjo sake that we liked the best out of all the sake we tasted, and we also received the sake seal.

I remember drinking Rokkasen's "TODOKASHI" sake while out for a drink and enjoying it so much that I took a tour of the brewery during my trip to Yamagata this time. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. After the tour, we had a chance to taste some of their other sakes. Overall, I got the impression that many of the sakes were spicy. Among all the sake we tasted, the blue label Daiginjo of Tazukara was my favorite and I bought it as a souvenir for a person I was indebted to. I also tried my luck in the sake gacha and won the 2nd prize, which I immediately enjoyed at the hotel where I was staying! It is a dry sake with a punch of alcohol and acidity, and is a traditional hard-core sake. I had it chilled, but I felt it would be better heated up. Thank you very much for the meal. I found a sake stamp book at Rokkasen. Another thing to look forward to!
