はなこやま
Kangiku Hashu Honor It has a fruity taste that is typical of Kangiku, but the mouthfeel is refreshing. It is easy to drink and goes well with food. Although it is slightly carbonated, it does not have a chili sensation, so it will betray your expectations in a good way. It tastes good no matter how many times you drink it. It is just as we expected.

Akabu's nama sake. This is my first time drinking it, and it has the softness and drinkability of nama sake.

はなこやま
Mimuro cedar hiyaoroshi. The moment you take a sip, the fruity sweetness heats up. Even an amateur like me could tell that it tastes like a melon. When the sweetness disappears, the umami taste and even the bitterness that remains at the bottom at the end are melon-like. It is not too sweet and easy to drink. I have not had many Mimuro cedar, but this one was distinctive and delicious.

Kamo Nishiki Kafuda Shu Tsukihaku I bought this sake thinking it would be an easy-drinking light sake, but it was more refreshing and easy-drinking than I had imagined. It is distinctly different from trendy sake that insists on mellowness and fruity taste, and has both Niigata's sake character and drinkability. It was my first time to try this sake, and I became a fan. I would definitely drink this sake again.

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.
