First Hakuryu. It is strong at 17.5 but not as alcoholic as the alcohol content, and is fresh, petite, and dry. I would rather sip it after a meal than during. Very tasty.
I've been curious about Kidoizumi DEEP GREEN ever since I drank it in a pairing with Serra Lavaad, and I received it as a hometown gift. I've had it for a while now. I'm sure you'll agree that it's the best of both worlds.
It was made in 2018.04 and shipped in 2022.01. 100% Yamadanishiki, yeast #7.
I had it at room temperature. It has a clean, moderate flavor, and although it is 17 degrees, you don't feel the alcohol, and it is very pleasant. It is my favorite sake.
It was recommended to me as a rare sake at the bar. Despite its strong alcoholic aroma, it is rich, complex, and soft, making it easy to drink. There is no mention of it on the label, but I'm guessing it's a native-production sake? This is my favorite. It's so good!
100% Dewa Tsannada. It is made by various local producers under the name of the Shonai Clan. This one is from Watarai Honten, which makes Dewanoyuki. It's hard to describe whether it's spicy or full-bodied.
It has a slightly low alcohol content of 14 degrees and is slightly sweet and easy to drink. It's sold at Seijo Ishii, and it's a sake that will be popular among people who don't usually drink sake.
It is quite yellow. It's made from Omi's local rice, Tamae. It is country-like. The sourness is strong and the taste is gentle. Maybe it is the character of Tamakae, but the sake is also unique and interesting.
