I was attracted by the POP saying it is perfect for warming sake. I enjoy it slowly, especially on cold days. It has a similar flavor to Kikuhime, but this one is a little milder. The label says it is dry, but it is not that dry and soft. I am sure it will make you happy when paired with oden.

Sake from Ueda, Shinshu. It has a gentle, square texture, probably because it is brewed with ultra-soft water. It is easy to drink and has a well-balanced taste of sweetness, flavor, and acidity. The label design is simple and nice.

It has a light cloudy appearance. The taste is mellow and dry with a slightly acidic aftertaste. It is happier with cheese than with fish.

Light, slightly sweet. It is not enough when served cold, but the flavor comes out as the temperature is raised. It is just right to be served lukewarm at a lower temperature.

The brand name and the snowflake silhouette label design were decisive factors in my decision to purchase this wine. The palate is light sweet and easy to drink, with a mild acidity. It tastes just the way I like it.

This is the fifth brewery in Saku's sake brewery series. This is a rare bottle as it has recently met with a fire and is closed. We happened to find it at a one-day spa and secured it. It has a strong bitterness and acidity, with a tangy mouthfeel. It also has a sweetness, so it is not harsh. It is the best sake from Saku so far. It's a shame that we won't be able to taste it for a while. I hope they will do their best to bring it back.

For my second glass, I chose Shinmasa, my first time drinking one of the Adult's Day service drinks. The aroma of hakusaku and the citrus-like acidity as shown on the bottle stood out. I have never tasted such an acidic sake before. I am glad I was able to drink it at the right time.

This is my first time drinking Houou Mita. It seems to be the driest brand among them. It has a well-balanced taste that strikes me as being right in the middle of the range 🎵It has a nice, clean sweet taste. The acidity in the aftertaste is also nice.

Good evening kanikani😃. Congratulations on your first Bida at ㊗️ 🎉! I think the expression "light sweet" might be the best way to describe Mita's dry sake 🤗There are many other delicious Tochigi sake 😋 Please try them all 👋.

This is a junmai version of the Haginoroh mini-bottle sake I bought on the label. It is a little less sweet than the junmai ginjo, but generally has a good balance of bitterness. When heated, it still has a hint of Kikuhime-like bran aroma. I would like to try it in a Yongo bottle next time.

This is the sake you want to drink warmed up in this season. The unique bran-like aroma becomes addictive once you get into it.

Sake obtained at a new sake festival at a brewery. I opened the bottle on New Year's Day. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a sweet taste. It is not a good food sake, but it is good with salty snacks and desserts.

Souvenir from my fall visit to Ishiyama-dera Temple for the Taiga Drama Museum. The label is my favorite. The sweetness comes first, followed by bitterness and acidity. Bitterness and sourness follow, and a moderate acidity remains at the end. There may be a slight Kikuhime-like aroma. I drank it cold, but I am sure it would be delicious warmed up.

The last one is from the neat sweet category. A brand exclusively for wholesale. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of the sake bottle. The mouthfeel is refreshingly sweet, with a touch of acidity coming later. I realized once again that I have been looking for a little more umami and drinkability lately. However, it tastes just right to finish off the meal.

The first drink after work. I chose Jikin, which had been on my mind for a long time. When I put it in my mouth, I felt soft lactic acidity and a little gas. The sweetness and acidity cut through quickly, making it a refreshing sake suitable for the first cup. It was a convincing taste 🎵.

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.
