Alcohol content: 17 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:60 The aroma is rather subdued. The taste is rich but dry, due in part to the slightly high alcohol content of the sake. The mouthfeel is quite fruity at first, but that soon wears off. Because of its solidity, it can be enjoyed with dry food alone.

Alcohol content: 15 Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio:undisclosed At a sake bar in Tokyo. This is a seasonal draft version of Mamoru-ba-ri. Mamoru" means to keep the tradition. Breaking is to break the tradition with a new sensibility. Ri" means to create new value by respecting both "Mamoru" and "Breaking". The word "Renunciation" means to create new values while respecting both "Mamoru" and "Breaking". Perhaps because it had been open for some time, the gasiness that had been warned about was weak. Instead, the light mouthfeel gave the sake a full flavor of Ihyakumangoku. The bitterness was also felt in the back of the bottle, and it closed the whole experience. It was a delicious sake.

Alcohol content: 13 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:50%. At a sake bar in Tokyo. As it is brewed with white malted rice, I imagined that the citric acidity would be dominant, but the acidity was not as strong as I expected. As the label explains, it is a refreshingly dry sake with a hint of sweetness and the umami of rice in the middle. I think it has the mildest acidity of all the sake made with white malted rice that I have had so far. It goes well with Western food with a little acidity, such as carpaccio.

Alcohol content: 18 Gohyakumangoku, brewing alcohol Rice polishing ratio: 65 At a sake bar in Tokyo. This is a dry sake, typical of Kutouryuu. On the other hand, the taste is very fruity, and it cuts through the palate without leaving a lingering aftertaste. This is a delicious sake that I would like to drink with dinner.

Alcohol content: 16 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:50%. Comparison of Suitama. The left side of the picture. It seems that only the brewing process is different from that of the front side, so we were able to compare the two. As the label says, this one is more refreshing and dry. However, it is not a watery sake, but rather very fruity at first, with notes of peach, muscatel, and pear that quickly wear off. The finish is very well balanced with a hint of acidity and slight bitterness. After comparing the two, I would personally vote for the Urasuidama.

Alcohol content: 15 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:50%. Comparison of Suitama. The right side of the picture. I brought it to my parents' house to greet the New Year. The taste is sweet and sour at first. Is it similar to muscat or pear? The sweetness is a little subdued, and the acidity is more dominant. Since it was New Year's Day, I drank it while eating chikuzen-ni (stewed and simmered chicken and vegetables) and sashimi, and it was a very tasty sake that did not interfere with Japanese food.

Alcohol content: 16 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:55 At a sake bar in Tokyo. This is the first sake I have ever had. The label says that it has a delicious rice flavor, but the first taste is predominantly acidic. It is spicy including the aftertaste, but the fruity aroma and the umami of rice can be felt in the process of swallowing. It will be a favorite of those who like sour sake.

Alcohol content: 15 Tamakae Rice polishing ratio: 60 At a sake bar in Tokyo. This is the first time for me to taste Tamakae sake rice. The first mouthfeel is sweet, but it is quickly cut off and the aftertaste is crisp. It also has a good amount of acidity, giving the impression of a dry mid-meal sake. On this day, I drank a lot of sake that was more like a food sake.

Alcohol content: 14.1%. Kame-no-o Rice Polishing Ratio: 50% (Koji rice), 60% (Kake rice) At a sake bar in Tokyo. One of the sake available for an extra charge. This is from the 2018 hanpukai, so it is likely to have become smoother over time than it was when it was distributed. The taste is sweet and the mouthfeel is very smooth and refreshing. It has almost no acidity, which is a characteristic of Niimasa, to the point where you would think it was a kijoshu. It is not labeled as a "kijoshu," but rather a "kijoshu" sake. It was not labeled as a kijoshu, and I could not understand why it was called kijo junmai-shu. I will ask the waiter next time I see it.

Alcohol content: 15 Akita Sake Komachi Rice polishing ratio: 35 At a corner bar of Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station. Smooth ginjo aroma with a hint of alcohol in the back. Very smooth on the palate. It is dry with little sweetness. The acidity is predominant, but not to the point of being sour. The bitterness in the aftertaste finishes the whole experience. It is rare to find such a dry sake that has been polished to 35%. It is a great food sake and goes well with all kinds of Japanese food such as simmered, deep-fried, and sashimi dishes. This is a delicious sake that shows its true value not as a stand-alone sake, but when paired with food.
