The regular sake was clearly alcoholic and I wouldn't like it... The label said it was suitable for warmed sake, but it was served cold, so I didn't understand its true value.

The blend of two types of Nagano sake rice (Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogochiki) provides a perfect balance of fruity and floral flavors, making it a good mid-meal drink. It felt lighter and more effervescent than when we tasted it, and the bubbles made it enjoyable to drink. I paired it with cream cheese at home.

At Manaiban, Kamisuwa, Japan.
The raw sake was aged for 5 years. I drank it in a hurry on my way home and would like to drink it again...

We tasted four different types of ginjos, all with the same rice polishing ratio and alcohol content, but with different rice. All of them were very tasty, but the flavors were completely different. The one we ended up purchasing, Yamae Nishiki, won the Grand Prix at IWC21.

Not much of a Junmai Daiginjo feel, just a great sake that tastes great and goes well with food. I want to drink it forever!

The taste is like a warmed sake, worthy of being dedicated to warming up. The flavor was wonderful, with a tight taste while maintaining an elegant aroma.

First Jikin. The balance of acidity and sweetness, the aftertaste, etc. were incredibly delicious. It is perfect, including the feeling of a cloudy, lingering corkscrew. It can be served by itself or with food.

This sake is a collaboration with Nanabonjari. It has an impressive sweetness due to its 40% rice polishing ratio.

At home with hot pot. Sourness, umami, and an unexpectedly refreshing aftertaste. I still can't stop drinking.

This is the first time I've had a CEL24 yeast-based wine, and it is sweet like an apple. I thought it would be difficult to pair it with food, but when drunk by itself, it is very tasty and slightly effervescent. It was like a dessert.
