Kana Maki
Appearance: Sound, transparent, pale yellow, medium viscosity Nose Sound oily magic, steamed rice, cooked rice, slightly caramelized, grainy and puffy, medium height of aroma Mouth: Sound Texture is smooth and smooth with a little sharpness, initially sour, reminiscent of grainy vinegar rather than citrus, followed by caramel sweetness. Afterwards you can sense the umami and faint bitterness. The aroma is medium, with a caramel sweetness and bitterness, and a full aroma like cooked rice. It has a slightly bitter taste on the back end, which is perceived as tightening up. Medium to slightly dry. It's not Junmai, so you can't call it Junmai, but the brewing process itself is Junmai. It's overwhelmingly good value! It has a solid acidity, sweetness and umami. It's not hard to drink, but it's not suitable for people who are used to drinking light sake.

Appearance Sound, transparent, low, slightly cloudy and white, medium viscosity Nose: Sound, slightly high on the nose with notes of rum, white sugar and syrup, lemon and lemon peel Sweetness of sugar and fresh fruitiness of acidity, medium complexity Mouth: Sound texture is a little loose but crisp, with a slight fizziness and sweetness in the mouth. The scent is a little high, with a sweetness like ramune and syrup, and a refreshing bitterness like lemon peel. The aftertaste is medium sweet, but it is slightly fizzy, and the sourness and bitterness is the only thing that lingers. I think it has a pretty good aroma. It has a good sweetness, but it's not too sweet with sourness & bitterness & slight fizz. It's not too sweet. It will be fun to play with various temperatures and days since opening.

Palate: Sound. The texture is smooth and smooth, with an initial slightly intense sweetness. Later on it is sour and slightly bitter. The aroma of green apples and sweetness like white sugar coexist. The flavor is there at the end, but it's not very strong, and the alcohol is strong. The aftertaste is not long, so you can feel the sharpness in relation to the flavor. The sweetness and spiciness is slightly sweet to medium to slightly dry? Takaki? Hmmm, there's a hint of ginjo, and the aroma is high, but the quality of the sake is pretty solid. It might work well warmed up.

It has a sweetness but also a bitterness, and the flavor is not persistent.

Appearance Sound, slightly yellow, transparent, medium viscosity Nose sound, slightly low in aroma, rice malt, steamed rice, caramel, faintly vinegar? A grainy, sweet aroma with a hint of acidity on the nose. Complexity is moderate to slightly complex Mouth: Sound texture, smooth and velvety. The scent is a little strong, with a sweet aroma of caramel and brown sugar, and an aroma of steamed rice. You may feel it. But it's not harsh (medium to high), it's a little dry. The impact of the name and label on the web. It's not too cloying, and it's easy to drink at room temperature while still having a strong flavor, but it's different when heated.

P.S. I read on the site something about jumping up and down to warm up, so I turned it up to 70... but the acidity was spiky and not so much for me personally... Just a nice warm and cold drink from it! It instantly becomes mellow. Cooled to about 50 degrees.

Appearance: Sound, transparent, pale yellow, slightly low to medium viscosity Nose sound Rice vinegar, caramel, honey, rice bran, rice malt and rice bran, alcohol, with slight hints of sauvignon blanc and celery, with aromas of sourness and sweetness of rice and sugar, and a slight bitterness of herbs and savory vegetables. Mouth: Sound texture, smooth and smooth in the mouth, initial bitterness and acidity, with a slight aftertaste of deliciousness. The sweetness is faint and not very perceptible. The scent is a little low to medium, with a grainy aroma of rice malt and a bitter aroma of cerfeuille, and a rather short aftertaste. No. Dry. Like a refreshing drink...? It's a problem. The crispness is good, but it's not clear, it's more like a sharpness. The crispness is quite good for a mellow sake.

Appearance: Sound, transparent, high, light yellow, medium viscosity Nose: Sound, medium strength, medium caramel, cream, custard, white sugar, honey, faint hints of soy sauce, sweet notes of sugar and dairy products, faintly savory notes, slightly complex Mouth: Sound texture, smooth and smooth, it goes in smoothly, with an initial sense of acidity and bitterness, but it is followed by umami and sweetness. Long lasting, medium sweet and spicy. At room temperature, the aroma is less sweet than the initial impression. The 90-polished "Kin Kame Ao 90 Nama Shochu" is sweeter. My impression of it changes after warming it up again! PS When I leave it for a few days and make it cold (around 15 degrees), an aroma like the rice bran stands up. I don't think it's best not to chill it too much after leaving it for a few days.

The aroma and sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar and molasses, with a lasting flavor. It has a medium to slightly dry finish. pure alcohol This one also seems to go well with darker dishes. It's also brown sugar-like and slightly savory, so it might go well with caramelized foods. You can warm this one up as well, even if you raise the temperature quite a bit.

Omachi usage Appearance Sound, slightly low to medium viscosity, almost colorless Aroma: Sound, rice malt, alcohol, a little yogurt? Grainy, alcoholic notes, low intensity. Palate: Sound, with an initial bitterness and alcohol stimulation, followed by acidity and sweetness, and finally umami. It has a long aftertaste as the umami comes and remains at the end. Dry pure alcohol What do you think it will go with? It looks great with strong dishes (like tare or hearty meat). Warmed-up sake is also good.

Appearance Sound, pale yellow, medium to slightly high viscosity Nose sound, slightly high in aroma, caramel, sugar, rice malt, yogurt, etc. Mature and rice- and dairy-like aroma Taste Sound Texture is round and smooth, then sharp and crisp. The taste is sweet and tasty at first, but later on there is a strong alcoholic sensation that makes it crisp and strong. Not persistent, but it has a sweetness and aroma that lingers for a long time. Medium to slightly dry? But the initial sweetness is strong. It's a bit of a mature drink. It's not really a mature sake, but it's a good quality sake. This is a true brew, but only slightly crisp afterwards. It's more of an impact of sweetness, umami and strength in the back end.

Texture is smooth and smooth but crisp, the taste is acidic and tasty, with a strong alcoholic bitterness on the palate. Short and bitter. But the bitterness is short-lived. It is called "bakudan" and has a sake rating of +22, but because of the strong sourness and umami at the beginning, it feels dry but not as dry as the number (it is easier to drink than the number). It's not very light, but it's relatively easy to recommend to those who like dry sake and Yamahai brewing. However, beginners and those who are not used to dry sake may find it difficult to drink it.

As the aftertaste is short, it is crisp and clear. The taste is rather simple to medium.

Appearance: Sound, pale yellow, transparent, slightly viscous Nose: Sound, slightly fragrant, green apple, muscat, yogurt, faint banana, and sellefeuille, with hints of acidity and sweetness. Mouth: Sound texture, smooth but crisp, sweet and slightly strong acidity, then bitterness, with a short aftertaste. It's a refreshing sake, but the aroma is of the slightly higher type. However, the aroma may not be as obvious and strong as that of kunshu. Warmed sake is also a challenge. It has a sour taste, but it's also full, so it's a warmed sake that is easy to drink without being too harsh.
