Many reviewers comment that it is calpis, but in my opinion it has zero calpis feel. It is a sweet sake taste. I think it is a condensation of the flavor of amazake made with malted rice, with a sweet and sour taste. In any case, it is a delicious sake. It is good as an aperitif and goes well with fatty food.

First hiyaoroshi of the season. A dry sake with excellent sharpness. It has a fruity and umami taste, and a graceful quality that cuts through in an instant just as the bitterness starts to kick in. It is the best sake for a mealtime drink, and the Junmai is also very cost-effective. I like Hakurakusei.

It has a slightly fizzy, muscat-like sweetness, but it's understated and cuts through easily. The overall balance is good, and it is not bad as a food wine. After about 2 days from opening the bottle, the fizziness becomes less fizzy, but the sweet and sourness increases, which is nice. This is only my second Koshi, but I think the others will be good too, so I'd like to drink more and more of them.

My first Kumamoto sake. As the name implies, it is a summer sake with a light sweetness that easily soaks into the body. The light fruity taste is well suited for the hot weather, and I couldn't help but drink too much. I am not sure about the characteristics of Kumamoto yeast, but it was a delicious sake.

This sake is limited to PAX, a supermarket in Yamanashi. While it has the freshness of nama-shu, it is a light and easy-drinking sake. It is just the right sake for the hot summer months.

I almost bought the label. When poured into the cup, it has a very nice ginjo aroma that makes you expect more before you drink it. As the aroma suggests, it has a fruity taste, but the sweetness does not linger, and it finishes with a bitter taste. It is a sharp and crisp ginjo-shu that can be enjoyed with a meal.

I bought a discounted bottle at a supermarket. When I opened it, I was surprised to find the cork was a crown. I took it with a glass of wine. The aroma of pickles is impressive, and the taste is a little peculiar in combination with the aroma, but it is well balanced with the sweetness, and it is not bad with carbonation. I rather like this aroma, but why sparkling? Is it because they wanted to make it unique? In any case, I liked it and would like to try it again if I have the chance.

A light, easy-going summer sake. It is fruity but not sweet, and its refreshing taste is very suitable for this time of year. It is not too expensive at around 2,800 yen per bottle.

I drank it without much expectation since it is a regular sake, but it was quite good. It had a solid umami flavor and a slight sense of maturity. I thought, "What the heck! I tried heating it up in the middle of summer, and it still went well! I'll probably buy it again if I come across it in winter. I am happy to have found a regular sake that I can give a passing grade.

Immediately after opening the bottle, there was a slight fizziness and not much sweetness, but after a few days, the fizziness was gone and the sweet and sourness came out. The lightness of the sake, which keeps the weight down, makes it easy to drink like a summer sake. It was delicious.

The +20 super-hot sake from the same brewery was so good that I decided to try the nama-shu as well. As one might expect, it is thick and heavy. It has a heavy umami flavor, but the sweet and sour taste suppresses it beautifully, giving it a good balance. I have never heard of this brewery, but they seem to have many delicious sake that I like. I would like to try their other lineup, but unfortunately there are few liquor stores in Yamanashi that carry it.

+It's +20, so it's definitely spicy, but it's overwhelmed by a heavy dose of flavor and bitterness. There is no sweetness, so it goes perfectly with a meal. I wanted to warm it up a bit, but since it was this hot, I drank it cold.

The strong effervescence is refreshing and great on a hot summer day. The moderate dryness makes it a great food sake, and it refreshes oily food. I would like to have a bottle of this sake, but I have never seen it sold, so I guess it is not available.

This ginjo-nama sake has a great freshness and sharpness. It is dry, crisp, and has no heaviness, making it a great summer sake. However, there seems to be a limited number of stores selling it even within Yamanashi Prefecture.

I bought it at a nearby supermarket because it was at a two-for-one discount. I think cold sake would be good in this hot season. It's a regular sake, but it has a strong alkoe feeling and not much umami, so it doesn't go down very well. I would like to try heating it up in winter.

Commemorative 200 check-ins. By the way, all of the items were purchased and 90% of them are bottles. 100% home drinking. I don't know if 200 bottles in two and a half years is a lot or a little, but I would like to continue drinking in search of good sake. The 200th bottle I chose was Duan. It is clean, dry, and pleasantly fizzy. When I drank it a few years ago, it was heavy, but this time it has a good balance of sweet and spicy, making it perfect as a food sake. I would like to drink it again and again, as there are many other Hada brands in the lineup.

Thank you, Tsubu-chan. I don't know how much I can drink of the many stars of sake, but I hope to continue to enjoy it. There is only one store in Yamanashi prefecture that sells Hidan, so it may be difficult to get it if you are outside of the prefecture.

Hissan Thank you very much. Sake in Yamanashi is quite scarce, so it is not enough for sake lovers. There are a few good sake like Tadashi, though.

Jay & Nobby Good evening. And thank you, because the four-pack was gone so fast and not cosy. I didn't count properly, so 90% might have been an exaggeration (laughs).

A low-alcohol junmai sake. It has a characteristic sweet and sour taste, but it is not very assertive, so it is difficult to find a dish to match it with. The sake is not suitable for strong flavors, so in my opinion, it is best with light flavors (although the label says it goes well with strong flavored dishes).

A rich, unadulterated sake. It does not have the freshness of nama-shu, but it is characterized by a rich flavor that can be heavy. However, in this hot season, it is better to drink a crisp sake than a rich one, so it is a sake to be enjoyed in winter and spring.

This is a sake that I have never tasted before. It is not at all sweet, but the umami is very good, and the moderate acidity is pleasant, making it a good accompaniment to meals. I was impressed that such a sake exists.
