Purchased at a souvenir shop in front of Iida Station.
A little bit in a single-bottle.
It is claimed to be dry, and has a strong alcoholic aroma that lingers in the nose. However, the impression is clean.
On top of that, the sweetness and umami of the rice can also be felt.

Purchased at a roadside station in Toyookaoka Village. It is all Takananishiki produced in Toyooka Village. It has a strong yellowish taste.
Strong flavor and alcohol. It has a heavy body. It is certainly lion-like.
The Botan Shishi is a lion dance of a local shrine.

Umakuchi juice of rice. It has a slightly sour and sharp taste on the palate, but the umami is quite strong. It is easy to drink while retaining the flavor in the mouth.
It is unfiltered, so it has a strong yellowish taste.
The label says it is brewed with in-house yeast. Is such a thing quite rare?
Limited edition of 1500 bottles, the 1280th with serial number.

Chilled sake at Tokyu Store. I haven't been there for a while, but there is a new brand.
It has a smooth taste like Honjozo. It has a thickened taste. Umami from the middle to the throat.

The color is quite yellow.

Cold sake
It has a good umami and bitterness on the palate, with a sweetness on the tongue and a refreshing taste down the throat.
It is the most delicious sake and goes well with grilled sweetfish.

Impressions after more than a week since opening
Freshness on the palate, with a light freshness. The aftertaste is a bit umami with a hint of umami.
I like the fact that it says "mountain sake" on the bottle.

Sorry, my impressions are omitted.
There was a sense of schwarziness!

When I asked my father, who does not drink, to buy me some local sake when he returned home, this one appeared.
This sake was served with eel from Okaya.
It is a very light sake, and I felt that it was not enough to compete with the eel.
It might go well with white meat sashimi or something like that.

It is a limited brew for Tokyu Department Store.
It has a smooth, thick, sweet, mellow mouthfeel. It also has a sourness, so it is not just a lazy sweet taste.
I chilled it for a while, but it was a little too cold.

Aromatic. It is more mellow and heavy than floral and full-flavored.
It is not light, but it has a sense of lightness.
Sorry for my incomprehensible impression.

It has a refreshing taste, just as it says "Tosa Tanrei Brewing" on the bottle.
I bought this sake at the Co-op, but you don't see it very often around here.

Obtained from the sake section of Tokyu Department Store.
Chilled well. Very summery and fresh.
The acidity on the palate is restrained and seems smooth for a moment, but soon the aroma and soft acidity come through.
It is basically dry, but there is a slight sweetness of rice in the aftertaste.
It is delicious.

Impressions on the 1st day
Mild and spicy, tastes like rice, but could use a little more aging...
Impression on the 2nd day
Oh, it's puffy, it's puffy, it's puffy. It's so good!

It is mild and quite light on the palate.
Sake at soba restaurants is usually like this.

The mouthfeel is quite mild.
You can gradually feel the umami of the rice.
It does not go down smoothly, but the umami makes it go down smoothly.

Sake purchased on a trip to Kumano.
Cold
The color is dark, but the mouthfeel is watery. However, the umami flavor rises softly afterwards.
Heated
This sake won the gold medal in the premium heated category at the National Heated Sake Contest 2024, so we tried heating it up at home, even though it's a pain.
Slightly hotter than human skin. Mellow on the palate, with a brown sugar-like aroma. The brown sugar aroma is a bit pungent, but not in a bad way; it enhances the umami. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, but the assertion of bitterness is moderate.

Calm and persistent with a constant aftertaste.
The aroma is restrained, but the taste is perceptible.

The richness and umami spread in the mouth, and there is also a slight toromi (thickening) feeling. The aftertaste has a sake-like quality. It has a mellow, umakuchi taste. The aftertaste is also umami, which lingers slowly.
It is a completely different genre from the sake I have been drinking recently. Well, I bought it by the packet...
