It's actually the one that's been sitting in my fridge since last year. It doesn't seem to be the intended flavor of the quintessence, but it's sweet because it's a raw ginjo.

I bought this the other day when I visited the roadside station, Mizunosato Sawara.
I don't usually drink honjozo, but it is very crisp and easy to drink.
It doesn't taste much like rice, but it's just right for a hot and humid night this time of year.

I kept it at room temperature, but it had a very strong rice sweetness, so I added water with ice to add a refreshing taste.
Maybe the fridge would be better to be honest (smiles).

I forgot to write.
At the liquor section of an Aeon store, I found a "fun box" of bottles, so I bought one.
Two bottles of No. 4 cost about 2,400 yen.
One of them is here.
I will buy the other bottle later.

Personally, this is my first summer sake of the year. It's crisp. Almost water. Slightly sweet rice flavor. I was thirsty, so I drank the first glass almost in one gulp. Good taste.

I bought it because I had never seen it before at Aeon. I think it is a little sweet and peculiar. It seems to go well with meat dishes. I usually drink it at room temperature, but I think it would be better to chill it thoroughly.

This is a local sake from Boso, Chiba Prefecture. I went to a local liquor store and found it there, so I picked it up.
It is said to be a 20% ginjo blend, but it is rather sweet.
It has a clean aftertaste and is easy to drink without any clinkers.

There is quite a lot of sakekasu (sake lees). Therefore, it is sweet. But the aftertaste is spicy. It makes you want to eat simmered dishes.

A variant of Kangenjosui.
It certainly has a kiwi-like sweetness.
It has a low alcohol content of 8 degrees, so you can drink it like a juice, which is dangerous in a sense.

Water with the earliest slightly rice sweetened every time. A delicate taste that prohibits food. Too elegant for words (smiles).

This is Aeon's 980 yen Junmai Daiginjo series.
It is a refreshing sake with a restrained sweetness from the rice. It has few habits, and although it is inexpensive, it may be a good introduction to sake.

It seems to be a Basia original.
It has a slightly peculiar aroma, but after putting it in the mouth, it does not bother me, and I can drink it more easily than I expected.
It is rather a sweet drink.
It might be better with a slightly salty snack.
It may be available only at Beisia, but I think it is relatively inexpensive (1,300 yen, I think?). So, I think it is a good Junmai Ginjo that can be drunk easily.

It is a slightly sweet, refreshing sake. The rice polishing ratio is 60, so I think it has a little bit of a habit, but it is easy to drink!

I bought this brand because I had never seen it before at Aeon.
It has a strong sweetness from the rice, but it is dry because it contains brewer's alcohol.
It is very assertive, so it might be good as a food sake.

The sweetness of the rice is amazing.
I thought it would be a ginjo, so I thought it would be refreshing, but it was sweeter than I expected, to the point where I thought it might be a junmai ginjo.
It may be a dangerous sake that you can drink as much as you want.

It was served at room temperature.
The aroma seemed a little habitual, but once in the mouth, the sweetness of the rice spread out, and I did not feel any habit at all, and it had a sweet and gentle taste.
I think it might be better to let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, as it seems to have a sharp taste if it is cooled down.
