I found it on sale at Donki for around 1700 yen per bottle, so I bought it. I love sake here. However, I was worried because it was my first time drinking regular sake, but there was no problem at all! When heated up, the umami flavor expands and it is very tasty. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy, making it a passable everyday evening sake. I didn't expect this level of quality from a regular sake. As expected from Sawanoi!

The Yamae Nishiki I drank the other day was really good, so I bought this one, which is now fire-aged. Although it is fire-aged, it tastes almost as good as the unfiltered draft! The sweetness and gasiness that reminds me of lychee is great. I think this one might be more cosy. I'll be a repeat customer.

I've been drinking 365 days a year for the past few years with no rest days and I haven't had a Kutouryuu. Anyway, I bought the cheapest regular sake. It has a slightly fruity taste, so it is good chilled or heated. It's like a nightly drink.

I happened to find it at a liquor store I stopped by. I had never heard of this brand, but I was shocked when I took a sip. The sweetness reminiscent of lychee and the gasiness were a perfect match! It was not too sweet and went right into my body. This is the kind of sake I wanted to drink. It seems that the brewery has been dormant for a while, but I hope to see more of their sake in the future, as it has tremendous potential.

Sawanoi's Junmai sake was delicious, so I bought the regular sake. As expected, it is a very cost-effective sake, with a clear, dry taste, but with a good umami flavor. While there are many ordinary sakes that are not very drinkable, I really appreciate this sake that caters to the average person. I bought a large quantity of this sake at Donki for about 1,700 yen a bottle and drink it every night.

It is a delicious sake with a refreshing acidity that makes it easy to gobble up. It was the first summer sake of the season.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it is a packaged sake. It is a delicious junmai sake. Moreover, it is a sake made using the traditional sake yeast. It has a traditional sake taste, so it will not be popular among young people, but it is a delicious dry sake that those who understand it will appreciate. It is also very cost-effective at around 1,500 yen per pack.

I was surprised when the cork flew open like champagne lol. The fruity feeling of Koshi is still there, but it is much more restrained. It has a very pleasant feeling of being slightly effervescent and quickly quenched. I would like to drink this sake again.

Quite a cosy sake. It has a pleasant fizzy feeling and a perfect balance between not too sweet and not too spicy. At 2,400 yen per bottle, this is a definite repeat purchase.

I bought it because it was on sale at a discount price at the drugstore. It is a regular sake, and when I drank it without any expectations, it was surprisingly good. It has a strong umami taste, and when heated up, the balance between umami and sweetness improves and the meal goes on and on. There are some good sake in paper packs and regular sake that are good value for money.

When I drank it without expectations, it was unexpectedly delicious. It is a mellow sake with a characteristic quality that is not overpowered by meat dishes. It can also be warmed up and is a sake to be enjoyed in winter.

Bought this sake to drink on New Year's Day. Parks Original by Haruyingin Tsubaki. A slightly sweet sake with a strong oak aroma. I like dry sake better.

About 1000 yen for a bottle at Donki. That's a bad price for a bottle of pure rice! So I bought a bottle to try it out. Naturally, it had little umami, strong acidity, and a strong miscellaneous taste. But it is not undrinkable, and considering the price, I think it is perfectly acceptable.

I purchased this sake to drink at a hotel during a trip to Mie. It is indeed Hokosugi! It has a perfect balance of matured flavor and sweetness and spiciness. The regular sake was a bit sweet and suitable for heating sake, but the honjozo was drier and went well with sashimi. Mie is full of delicious sake.

I purchased this sake when I visited Kochi at the end of last year. I wanted a dry sake that would go well with bonito sashimi, but it was unexpectedly sweet and heavy. It didn't go well with sashimi, but it was a delicious sake that went well with other Japanese dishes.

I have been wanting to try Shichida for a while. This is one of the best sake for a mealtime drink. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy, and a strong umami flavor. It is a good sake that I would like to keep on hand in the refrigerator during the summer because I never get tired of drinking it. If the season is fall or later, I would like to try heating it up.

I forgot to upload this last summer. This was my first time to drink Ame-go-tsuki, but I think it was a mis-choice for a summer sake. It was a dry and refreshing summer sake, which is often the case with summer sake, and I could not understand the characteristics of Ame-go-Tsuki. It was a good sake, but I think I should have started with the regular junmai.

If it were any sweeter, it would not be suitable as a food wine. The fruity and fizzy taste is exquisite. I often visit Mie Prefecture, but I had no idea there was such a delicious sake. I will definitely buy it next time.
