The fruity taste comes from the stimulation of micro-foaming, and then comes the sweetness that is typical of sake.
I like Kangiku, but compared to OCEAN99, I feel it has a long and mellow aftertaste.
It is easy to drink with a refreshing taste at first, but later you can taste the sake-like flavor and bitterness.
A well-balanced sake with the sweetness of rice, different from the fruity sweetness of today's sake.
At first sip, the flavor is typical of sake, with a mellow aroma that quickly fades away, leaving an easy-to-drink impression.
The second and third sips made it even easier to drink.
It is a well-balanced sake that can be recommended for both beginners and sake lovers, while being distinctly different from the fruity sake trend.
Abe SAZANAMI
Sake released only in years when the rice melts.
The slight effervescence and bitterness balance each other, giving it a smooth and refreshing impression.
I would like to compare it with ABE.
Abeno Silver - Ori-Garami
It is an ogurigami, but like Abeno, it has a well-balanced taste with acidity and bitterness without being too sweet. The bitterness tastes like citrus peel and is easy to drink.
It also has a sake-like flavor typical of Niigata.
The taste is fruity, but not too assertive, with a gentle sweetness at first, followed by the assertion of bitterness.
Although the overall flavor is not strong, the change in taste can be enjoyed until the end.
Purchased on recommendation at a local liquor store.

Fruity and juicy. The sweetness stands out, but the bitterness is well balanced.
I have the impression that it is less sweet than Kinjaku, and it may be easier to drink here.

Sansho Yamadanishiki
The first time I drank it, I was shocked by its deliciousness.
It is as light and fruity as ever, with a complex taste of sweetness and bitterness that asserts itself at first and then quickly disappears.

It may be my favorite sake.
Machida's Special Junmai Miyamanishiki
The nigori (nigori is a thick, thick, yogurt-like flavor when mixed with sake.

The first time I drank Kinjaku.
I was surprised when I took a sip.

Some people may not like it, but it is a one-of-a-kind sake and one that I would like to drink again.

It is light and easy to drink.
San-do is always delicious.
It has a clean mouthfeel, with a kick that quickly disappears afterwards.
This sake is easy to drink for beginners as it does not have as strong an assertion as the fruity types that are in vogue.
