This is also your first ALPHA1 Lightly gassy, fruity and easy to drink! It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and the aroma is not that assertive. It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and the aroma is not too assertive. It is well balanced, yet somehow rich!

First X-type! The proprietress said she couldn't open the bottle, so I was entrusted to open it and had it right away! It's refreshing and gorgeous with a beautiful acidity! The sweetness was elegant, but not too long, and before I knew it, the glass was empty... Why is it so delicious?

I went to a sake festival at a liquor store! They were offering free tastings, and after drinking a lot of brands of sake that I have never had before, I went to the next paid tasting. All of Ota Sake Brewery's free tastings were served heated, but in the paid tasting, we were able to compare heated and cold aged sake! The heated nigori sake was delicious, but the cold aged sake had a rounded acidity and was mellower and easier to drink than I had expected. I thought it would be more sharp and dry, but I was pleasantly surprised... I was drinking on a empty stomach, so I ate rice balls made of sake rice on the way. It was salted musubi, so I could enjoy the simple taste of the rice.

When I opened the bottle, I heard a small "pop" sound, but I couldn't feel any gaseous sensation. (When I drank it again later, there was a nice, sharp gassy feeling... It was easier to drink and tastier than I had imagined, so maybe my memory of that part of the bottle was slipping.) The aroma of sweet rice and refreshing acidity. The taste is light, and the sweetness and acidity are like a lactic acid beverage. Even though it is low-alcohol, you really don't feel the alcohol taste that much, so you can drink it with your 3 o'clock snack without feeling uncomfortable (is that too much?!). Since it is a doburoku, some people may be bothered by the undissolved rice on the palate when drinking it, but I think this is very good! I wish I had it in my fridge every day instead of Yak-Kut...

Hi sibylla_tks 😃 I fill a bottle of Yakut bottles with Dobrok and keep it in the fridge 🤔 If you don't drive, drinking that much every morning might be good for your health 😆.

Hi Jay & Nobby. It certainly looks healthy, but it is damaging to your wallet!

When the bottle is opened, the rich aroma with a sense of gorgeousness raises expectations. The first sip was strongly sweet, but as you continue drinking, the balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in the aftertaste is well balanced, and the body is light, making it easy to drink. Although there is not much of a lingering aftertaste, it is fresh and light, and completely different from the image I had before drinking it, in a good way. It makes me want to try another one...

It's the time of year when it's hot, humid, and bug-infested despite the rain! So, I bought this summer's arrival because I was attracted by the label. The aroma is faintly citrusy. The aroma is faintly citrusy, with a hint of sweetness, followed immediately by a refreshing acidity. It spreads quickly and has a small aftertaste. When the discomfort level is high like this, you should just drink it in one gulp without thinking! I almost finished it, but then I stopped. As the temperature rose, the sweetness became mellower, but I think it would be better to drink it cold. I'll buy another bottle if it's still available.

Hi sibylla_tks😃! It's true that it's getting hotter these days 🥵 so a fruity and fresh bottle like this one is refreshing 🤗I've only had it in the winter 🥵 so I'll try it in the summer ☀️ ‼️

Hi Jay & Nobby! I haven't had the winter otsukiri yet, so I will be excitedly waiting for it! It is a luxury to be able to drink seasonal sake, isn't it?

I wanted something refreshing to drink as the temperature was getting warmer, so I bought it on the store's recommendation. It looks cool. The aroma is refreshing. It also has a sweet taste, but unlike the Akabu we just drank, it has a spread at the moment of drinking, and when you think it has spread, it goes away. It is sharp, but you can also feel the aftertaste, and if you cool it down a little more, you will not be able to stop drinking it...

I recently purchased several bottles of summer sake, so I took the opportunity to open a bottle of Akabu's AIR. Sweet and fresh aroma with a light, fresh fragrance. The mouthfeel is light, with sweetness and acidity! The low alcohol content is not too heavy, and the overall taste is refreshing. I am glad I bought two bottles!

It has a fruity aroma and a sweet-tart taste at the moment of drinking. It has a good amount of body and spreads slowly and softly in the mouth. There is almost no bitterness or sourness, so I couldn't wait for the food to be ready, and drank it in small sips...

From the impression on the label, I thought it would be simple, sharp, and dry, but it is a classic dry wine with a relatively large volume. I had a lot of other crisp and refreshing drinks today, so I drank this to finish off the day and feel more satisfied!

Slightly yellowish, with a fresh aroma after opening the bottle. The first sip is sweet, but the sourness spreads quickly. The alcohol taste is nicely hidden by the sourness, making it a refreshing drink! I think I'm going to get addicted to it.

Next in the Toyo Bijin drinking comparison was Omachi. Like the Yamadanishiki we just drank, it is elegant and well put together, but I could taste more sweetness and umami. Overall, it is very easy to drink and refreshing, but the Omachi has more volume at the beginning, so it is more satisfying and I prefer this one. If you want to drink it slowly, Yamada-Nishiki is more relaxing. If I were to compare the two, I would choose the Omachi because of its impact. Thank you very much for your help!

We compared the two wines with Toyo Bijin's Jyundo Isshu, which was selected by the store staff! We started with Yamadanishiki. The last one was also delicious! The mouthfeel is not so heavy, but the umami and sweetness come through and disappear beautifully... Easy to drink and delicious. It's easy to drink and tasty.

The last drink comparison was left to the store. Oh, cool labels I'm seeing for the first time! All of the sakes selected this time had a short, refreshing aftertaste, but Saku was fruity and had a nice, clean finish from start to finish. I want to buy this one and keep it at home!

I used to drink only cel24, which is available in supermarkets, but this was my first time to try Kameizumi with a different yeast! It does not have the fruity, mellow aroma of cel24, but it has a soft rice aroma and mouthfeel. It has a clean, elegant sweetness with little aftertaste. I think I'll drink more of this one because I won't get tired of it.

It has a slightly acidic taste, but it is sharp and goes away quickly. I have not had many opportunities to taste sake from Tokyo, so I was deeply moved to think that this sake was made in Minato Ward...

I should have gone to buy some Yokoyama for drinking at home the other day, but I was tempted by Yokoyama Goju, so I chose it as my revenge. I like the way the sweetness and umami goes through the mouth! I haven't opened the bottle yet, but did I make a bad choice?
