Sakenomimaster
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.

Light-bodied, perfect for an aperitif or after-dinner drink.

Lactic acid bacteria, white rice, lychee and bamboo leaves. Sweet mouthfeel and a schwiffy carbonation. Gradually, bitterness and the delicious taste of rice come out. It finishes with a refreshing feeling like when you finish a Calpis soda. Total score 88 Aroma 4.5 points Mouthfeel 3 points Taste 4.5 points Aftertaste 5 points Concept 5 points Tochigi Prefecture is a winter tradition from Senkou. Calpis soda for adults, not sweet. It is surprising that this flavor is expressed only with sake rice. It has no oily taste and is refreshing. It is easy to drink and may be perfect as an aperitif. Medium-bodied.

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).

Momo, honey, rice cake, melon. Juicy, sweet aroma. Super light carbonation. The flavor of the rice is highly concentrated and enhances the fruity sweetness. A full flavor spreads at the end. Medium bodied. Overall score: 84 points Aroma: 4 points Mouthfeel: 4 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4.5 points Concept 4.5 points A slight carbonation gives it a petite mouthfeel. Unlike Arabashiri and Nakadori, there is no bittersweetness, and you can feel the flavor of the rice more, and it is relatively rich.

Momo, violets, bamboo grove. White and cloudy. Floral and fruity. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing. Good balance of bitterness and flavor from the cobwebs. Slightly fizzy. Light bodied. Overall score: 88 points Aroma: 5 points Mouthfeel: 4.5 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 4.5 points This is a stable and modern sake when served without the ori. However, personally, I would like to have some ori. It has a good balance of flavors as if it were a medium-sized sake. In addition to the light bitterness that is typical of Senkou, the acidity and umami flavors are in perfect harmony.

Violets, bamboo grove, young grass, lychee. White and cloudy. Floral and elegant aroma. In the mouth, a petite fizzy sensation lingers. The palate is light but with a hint of sweetness. Light bodied. Overall score: 84 Aroma 5 points Mouthfeel: 5 points Taste: 3 points Aftertaste: 3 points Concept 5 There is no fruitiness, but a floral aroma. If you drink it without the ori, the bitterness is diminished and the coolness is increased. On the contrary, it can be said that the ori produces the bitterness typical of Senkou. There is a gap between the fragrant aroma and the immature taste. This is very typical of Arabashiri.

Total score 78 points Aroma 4 points Mouthfeel: 5 points Taste: 3 points Aftertaste 3.5 points Concept 4 points The natural aroma is not much different from the classic. On the other hand, the taste is very different, sweet, fruity and juicy. This one is ideal for aperitifs and appetizers. Personally, I think I prefer the Modern.

Sakenomimaster
1,500 yen. Purchased at a liquor store. Pineapple, tangerine, young grass, tonic water. A cool aroma. The attack is young grass-like and edgy. It is moderately sweet and has a sour taste. On the finish, fruity aromas spread. Overall, the impression is quite light and dry. General comment 78 points Aroma 4 points Mouthfeel: 3.5 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4.5 points Concept 3.5 points As the tangy, slight carbonation gradually converges, the citrus aroma spreads rapidly. You can enjoy the changes in the aromas that accompany the bubbles in this bottle. It says to be careful when opening the bottle, but I don't think you need to be that scared. I would like to drink other Nabeshima and compare them.

1,400 yen. Purchased at a liquor store. Lychee, muscat, unripe banana, bamboo leaves. Attack of the flavor of rice. Grape sweetness like a white wine. A cool finish. Total evaluation 84 points Aroma: 3 points Mouthfeel 4.5 points Taste 4.5 points Aftertaste 5 points Concept 4 points On the palate, you can feel the flavor of rice, but a moment later, the fruity sweetness of grapes and lychee quickly spreads throughout. A very slight sourness and bitterness become accent elements that increase the fruitiness. As the wine is swallowed in the mouth, the aromas open up the fruitiness and reach a peak of unparalleled sweetness. The finish is cool and refreshing. It is recommended to drink immediately after opening the bottle. (The bitterness of the accents will increase if left uncorked.)

At the shop. We had a bottle of this. Lychee, burdock, bamboo grove, rice cake, nuts. It has a fruity aroma. It has a light mouthfeel, but as you taste it, the expression changes with more weight. The aftertaste is dry and crisp. Total evaluation 58 points Aroma: 3.5 points Mouthfeel: 3 points Taste 1.5 points Aftertaste 2 points Concept 2 points I think it's up to the individual to decide whether they see the mid-palate weight as alcoholic or dry and crisp. Unfortunately, it was not my favorite. The floral dance? I think it's more of a stiff gymnast. Thanks for the food!

 It is 1,500 yen for a four-pack bottle. It is purchased at the sake brewery. It is white like milk. Muscat, melon, yogurt, and Calpis. Sluggish texture. Creamy attack. Juicy middle. Sweet finish. General comment 88 points Aroma 3 points Mouthfeel 5 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 5 points Concept 5 points One more bottle from Shirayuki. It is a very creamy sake. I think it is best to have it as an after-dinner sake with a fruity taste. The name "Shirayuki" is perfect, it reminds me of a snowy winter scene. It is a unique sake from Konishi Brewery, which is known for its lactic acid bacteria drink.

It is 1,800 yen for a four-pack bottle. Purchased at the direct store. Muscat, orange peel, melon. Brilliant and fruity aroma. The attack is gentle and sweet like honey. It has a rich, full-bodied, sweet taste. There is also a little bit of the dark alcohol spiciness that is typical of undiluted sake. General evaluation 82 points Aroma: 5 points Mouthfeel 4 points Taste 4 points Aftertaste 4 points Concept 3.5 points The price is a little bit higher because it is a Jundaishu, but it is also totally cosmopolitan. It might be valuable for a major sake brewery to have such a good taste. About the sweetness, the aroma is fruity, but the taste is swinging to drinkability.

It's interesting that they say it's no more and no less than that.

Purchased at a local supermarket for 1,500 yen. Muscat, green apple, pear and mineral. Fruity aroma. The taste is pure and light. It is good to gulp it down or to drink it slowly. It is more suitable for an aperitif than an after-dinner drink. The more time passes after opening the bottle, the more flavorful it becomes. General evaluation 90 points Aroma: 5 points Mouthfeel: 4.5 points Taste 4.5 points Aftertaste 3.5 points Concept 5 points "Dark", "sweet" and "fruity" are said to be so-called modern sake, but this is "light", "sweet" and "fruity". The taste that is a little bit off the trend is also delicious ♫
