Rum, passion fruit, muscat, lychee. The aroma is subdued. The palate is filled with a tropical blue sky. The attack is as if one is drinking a sachet of soda. The taste is also like that of rum, leaving a cool aftertaste. Total score: 88 points Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 5 points Taste 5 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 5 points At the store. It is rare to find such a sweet and refreshing sake. It has a blue Hawaiian-like aroma, perhaps due to the packaging. This is a sake I like to drink in summer.

Thought it was sweet, it was actually dry! Muscat, lychee, yogurt, burdock root, and rice cake. While admiring the cool, fruity attack, before you know it, it turns dry, and the finish leaves you with a tingling sensation like after drinking a dry, hot sake. Rice goes well with it. Total 82 points Aroma: 4 points Mouthfeel 4 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 4.5 points From the Kikunosato Sake Brewery in Tochigi Prefecture. This is a Gap Moe Mashimashi sake with a variety of flavors. Food goes well with it. The body is light, but in fact it is full-bodied.

Rice flavor, melon, pear. The palate is light. From there, a full-bodied aroma fills the mouth. The middle taste of fruitiness and rice flavor that gushes out at the same time is a gift of sake that can only be tasted at Jikkoman. The body is a bit heavy, but it is easy to drink. Total score: 80 points Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 4 points Taste 5 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 4 points At the restaurant. It is more fruity than the junmai ginjo I had previously. Even so, Jikin is in the middle position between sweet and dry, and I think it is one of the best sake! I think it is one of the best class of sake.

Muscat, rice flavor, mushroom. Although it is called super dry, I think it is classified as a sweet type. The attack is particularly fruity. From the middle to the finish, the umami of rice increases, and the aftertaste leaves a dry and tingling sensation. You can enjoy the changes in flavor. Total 76 points Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 4 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 4 points At the store. (No photo) From Kamenoi Sake Brewery, Yamagata Prefecture. The standard "Kudokibe" is said to be quite fruity.

The flavor of burdock root, bamboo grass leaves, rice cake, and rice. The aroma is full of rich flavor, and the mouthfeel is smooth and fresh. The taste is dry, but the aftertaste is clean and dry. While there are changes in flavor, the light concept is consistent, so there are no gaps in flavor. Total score: 60 points Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 3 points Taste 2 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept: 3 points At the restaurant. It is not so dry as to be called "very dry". But it is clearly not sweet, so it is classified as dry. Body is light.

Rice flavor, cucumber, lychee. Sleek and smooth on the palate. Gradually, the rice flavor comes closer to the palate. Medium-bodied with a full-bodied flavor. Suitable as a food wine. Total 58 points Aroma: 2 points Mouthfeel 3 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 3.5 points Concept: 2 points At the restaurant. A tantalizingly tasty and cohesive offering. The package is refreshing, but the flavor is juicy with lots of umami. Not without a summer sake feel, but a little disappointing as I was expecting something a little more refreshing.

Muscat, pear, green apple. It has a refreshing and gentle attack with a sense of schwashy carbonation and rice flavor. The very fruity aroma creates a cool, refreshing feeling. The carbonation is not strong, but it is persistent and remains on the tongue with a tingling sensation even after swallowing. Although it is a nigori sake, it is refreshing and has no oily feeling. It is light-bodied. Total score: 94 points Aroma: 4 points Mouthfeel 5 points Taste 5 points Aftertaste 4.5 points Concept 5 points The taste is so fruity and delicious that it is genius.

Bamboo grove, bamboo leaves, oregano, walnut, pear. Slightly fruity on the palate, but edgy and dry from then on. The aftertaste is clean and easy to drink despite its dryness. Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 3.5 points Taste 2 points Aftertaste: 3 points Concept 3 points This is a rare dry Arahashiri from Hakurei Shuzo in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture. While it has a dry and refreshing core, the unfinished ambiguity of the flavor is like that of Aragashiri. The drawback is that as you taste it, you can detect a bitter taste with a sense of ethanol. Speaking of easy-to-drink dry, the previous Hakurakuboshi, but while Hakurakuboshi is slightly sweet, this one is completely dry.

Muscat, orange, melon, violet and lychee. Sweet and fruity ginjo aroma. There is a tangy sensation of acidity only on the palate, but it is sweet. The sweet and elegant flavor, which can be easily imagined from the aroma, continues through to the finish. Because of the sweetness, the body is medium-bodied, with a moderately strong body. Overall score 86 points Aroma: 5 points Mouthfeel 4.5 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste: 4 points Concept 4 points The ultra-fine carbonation, which is only slightly present, creates a light, robust sweetness. Compared to the Ona, which we recently drank, which was sweet with a strong ginjo aroma, Hidakami has an orthodox ginjo aroma. In comparison, Hidakami has an orthodox ginjo aroma, which allows the acidity and fruitiness to shine through. Therefore, it is perfect as an aperitif or after-dinner drink!

It has a sweet aroma like calpis and a fresh mouthfeel. In contrast to the aroma, there is a sake-like bitterness (alcohol?). (Amino acid?) The acidity and sweetness are light and subdued. It has a rough texture typical of nigori sake. A slight sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. Total 78 points Aroma: 5 points Mouthfeel 3 points Taste 3 points Aftertaste: 4 points Concept 4 points Cosmetic correction +2 The aroma is calpis, but the taste is sake nigori. Whether the gap between the sweet aroma and sake-like flavor is good or not depends on the person. However, the surprisingly low price of 1,000 yen is as expected of Hakutsuru. It is a tasty nigori sake in its own right, so it is cosy.

Lavender, violets, muscatel and melon. Slightly carbonated, schwitty mouthfeel. Sweet, with a strong ginjo aroma. The ginjo aroma lingers in the aftertaste as a nice bitterness. The coolness is strong and the umami is restrained. Total score 90 Aroma: 4.5 points Mouthfeel 5 points Taste 5 points Aftertaste: 4 points Concept 4 points The ginjo aroma is superb to begin with, and the slight carbonation further enhances the gorgeousness. For beginners, the ginjo aroma is so strong that it is perceived as alcoholic and peculiar. Its strong body makes it difficult to find dishes to pair it with, but considering the strength of the ginjo aroma, we give it 90 points.

Momo, banana, melon. The sweet ginjo aroma is covered by the sweetness of the rice. Fruity and sweet nose, sweet and mellow attack, this sweet aroma lasts until the finish. Medium bodied with a hint of fullness. Overall score 68 points Aroma 4 points Mouthfeel: 4 points Taste: 3 points Aftertaste: 3 points Concept 3 points I drank it in a wine glass because it was awarded the Gold Prize in the "Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Award". It is characterized by being dark, sweet, and juicy. It is a so-called modern sake with the lightness element removed and the emphasis on sweetness. It is sweet and consistent from start to finish, but the drawback is that there is no change in flavor. It is almost like a raw sake.

Muscat, cotton candy, bamboo leaves, and honey. Consistent sweet aroma from start to finish. Thick texture. Fresh bitterness is a good accent. Total score 74 points Aroma: 3.5 points Mouthfeel 4 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste: 3 points Concept 4 points It is very sweet and full, but it is also fresh. It is regrettable that the taste is the same from beginning to end and that the intensity of the flavor is not that strong. It is best served chilled. It seems to be chilled in a special way called "refrigerated storage" (bottle heating and rapid cooling).
