I prepared this sake for a foreigner who came to stay with us. Even people who don't usually drink sake can easily drink it. 2 bottles are not enough for 4 people. Easy to drink. Fruity.
★★★★☆
★★☆☆☆☆
I bought this sake at a local supermarket.
It hooks tight in the throat and has a distinct taste.
I don't dislike it, but I can see why it's not for everyone.
Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai Tonkiri Harazake
Purchased at the Nihonbashi Takashimaya Department Store, attracted by its 19% alcohol content.
The first sip was surprisingly refreshing and had few peculiarities, but the weight gradually built up, probably due to the alcohol content. The taste also deepened. It has a nice mouthfeel, but the aftertaste is strong in the throat.

The Sound of Nami
Yuriage Sake
It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink.
For my taste, it should be more robust.
It's a little too strong for my liking.
It was sold at 7-Eleven for 1,000yen per bottle.
I was surprised at the low price.
It doesn't have much taste or flavor, but 1000yen for a bottle of Junmai sake is great. I don't know what the regular price is.
I don't know what the list price is.
Miroku Junmai Ginjo Hi-iri
This is one of the four sakes I bought at Shusendo Katoh.
When I tasted it at the store, I thought it was a bit "refreshing" for me, but when I opened it at home, the flavor was different again. The entrance was rather firm, with a fruity and spicy taste and a clean aftertaste. It was delicious.
★★★★☆
Purchased at a liquor store in Sendai. I was going to buy Hiyayogoshi after tasting it, but the owner said he liked this one better, so I bought both.
It is mild on the palate with a firm aftertaste. It is refreshing and sharp, but gentle.
Easy to drink and delicious.
