We had it lukewarm at the end of the meal.
It has a slightly yellowish appearance, a briny rice aroma, and a robust dry taste. We recommend heating the sake to savor the aroma.

Hanaabi純米大吟醸 雄町 無濾過生原酒
kanikani
For the fourth glass, I chose Omachi from the three varieties as it was the day of the Hanayo.
It felt like a white wine, just like I had heard. A little cloudy, not as fizzy as Kaze no Mori, and most importantly, muscat-like flavors and acidity.
It has too much character to pair with Japanese food, so it might be better to bring it after dinner. It tasted gorgeous, not like sake in a good way.

The third glass was a Kaze no Mori, which I had hoped to drink.
As expected, it left a fizzy sensation on the tip of the tongue. The bottling is done just before the bottle is filled to preserve the bubbles, and the stocking is also kept to a minimum (which is why it is often sold out).
This was another sake I wanted to taste during the hot season.

The second glass was from a product distributed exclusively at this store. It is a refreshingly dry Niigata sake. More acidic than dry, with a slight banana aftertaste. Little ginjo aroma.

Haneya純米吟醸 ひやおろし
kanikani
The first glass was an autumn sake. It is refreshing and just right for this time of year when the lingering summer heat is still lingering. It was sweet and a little acidic (the acidity was just as described by the store owner). It was so good that we had to be careful not to drink too much 🎵.

I was attracted by the label design. I believe it was made with rice and water produced in Miyota.
This Kantake has a soft, mellow sweet taste with no sourness. Easy to drink and GOOD👍️

This is the second stage of a sake brewery in Saku City, which was found at the supermarket Tsuruya. After the initial sweetness of the rice, it has a strong dry taste. I would prefer it to be a little more square, but it leaves a long aftertaste in the mouth when drunk slowly, which is not a bad thing.

Purchased at an antenna store in Hokkaido. It has a crisp, dry taste that you will want to pair with seafood.

The fourth drink after work. The last one was a choice other than Junmai. I wanted to drink this one. It has a gentle taste with a soft acidity. It was just the right sake to end the day 🎵.

My third drink after work. It was lukewarm because my body was getting cold from the air conditioning.
I think this is the first time I've had a lukewarm sake that has such a nice mouthfeel. It's dry and has a hint of acidity, but it's just the right amount and goes down easy. Next time I'd like to try it hot in the cold season.

The second drink after work. I wanted to try Sentori.
The aroma is sweet like a flower. The mouthfeel is pleasant with malic acidity. It has a light sweetness that lingers on the palate. It was a taste I wanted to taste only in summer 🎵.
I think you can feel the aroma more if you drink it in a wine glass instead of an inokuchi (cup).

First drink after work. I chose the recommended balanced type. It is a little sweet and pleasant on the palate. The ginjo aroma coming out of the nose is also good for my taste. It seems to be a limited distribution product.

We ordered this wine after liking it in a mini-bottle sake drinking contest in Ishikawa. It has a sweet and tasty rice taste with a clean dry finish. I realized again that this is the kind of taste I like. It is easy to match with various dishes.

Purchased at my favorite Nagano local supermarket. It has a robust sweetness and acidity, and I don't think it has much of a ginjo aroma. It's a nice marriage of sourness and acidity when paired with pickled nozawana 🎵.
I had it cold, but next time I would like to try it warmed in the fall or later.

This is the sixth and last bottle of Ishikawa's mini-bottle sake.
It has a slight sweetness on the palate, but it is also rich, dry, and delicious. I had it cold, but next time I would like to try it at room temperature or warmed.

Drank on an airplane during a business trip.
It was less assertive than innocent, so it was easy to pair with the main course.

Purchased at Michi no Eki Kobuchizawa. Light alcohol, light nigori sparkling. Refreshingly sweet and fizzy. It was just the right sake for the coming season.
