変なおじさん
 I got a bottle of Toyobai, which a drinking friend had told me to try when I found it! When you open your mouth, there is a slight smell of cemedine. When you drink it, a moderate sweetness comes, and the aftertaste slowly fades away. When you taste it on the root of your tongue, it doesn't have much alkalinity, but you can taste the pungent bitterness. To be honest, it's not what I imagined, but it goes well with all kinds of food, and I think it's a good sake to drink during a meal. I'd like to get a bottle of ginjo-shu as well!

When opening the mouth, there is only a faint scent of ginjo. When you drink it, sweetness and umami appear first, followed immediately by a slight bitterness. The aftertaste cuts through quickly. When you taste it on the root of your tongue, it has a certain alu feeling. I should say that it is a stable taste. In my mind, Hatsusen and Kayasya are the most stable choices when I am in trouble. It was delicious!

When opening the mouth, it has a slight ginjo aroma. When you drink it, it is very refreshing, with a slight sweetness and a little bitterness. There is almost no alu sensation when tasted with the root of the tongue. It's very light and refreshing, so you can drink it without hesitation. However, it can be said that it does not have any characteristics, so it is quite difficult to make a decision. (Postscript) When it warmed up a little, the sweetness increased. It is light, easy to drink and has sweetness, so it may be recommended for those who are not good at sake! Personally, I find Kayasha easier to drink.

変なおじさん
 When you open your mouth, you get a vigorous squirt of carbonation. The color is a light clouded white and the sizzling is so strong that it looks like a juice. When you drink it, you are filled with a good amount of carbonation, fruit-like sweetness, moderate bitterness, and a slight yogurt-like sourness. It's not too sweet. Almost no alu sensation when tasted on the root of the tongue. I bought it at my favorite liquor store and was told that I would prefer it to daiginjo, and after tasting it, I thought that was true! I think it is an interesting sake to drink while comparing them.

変なおじさん
Aromatic ginjo aroma when opening the mouth. When you drink it, a refreshing sweetness comes first, followed by a slight bitterness and pungency. When tasted on the root of the tongue, it has an alkaline taste, but it is not unpleasant. The aftertaste is clean and sharp. I have the impression that most Akita sake has a sweet taste of rice. Delicious!

When you open your mouth, there is almost no aroma. When you drink it, it comes in easily without any peculiarities, and unlike what you might expect, it is very light, with almost no sweetness, umami, spiciness, or bitterness. When tasted on the root of the tongue, there is an alkaline sensation, but it quickly disappears. I waited until the temperature rose a little to see what the characteristics were, but it didn't change much. My stupid tongue can't quite grasp the goodness of it... But it was refreshing and not bad...

変なおじさん
No indication of what I wanted to drink today. I was looking around for a good one, but just when I was getting ready to go to bed, I was tempted by a good bottle of mansaku. The label said "super limited". I thought to myself, "Super..." and picked it up. I took it in my hand. When I opened my mouth, I could smell a slight ginjo aroma. As I drank it, I got the steady sweetness and umami of a mansaku, but with the usual mellowness added! Tasting it with the root of the tongue, there is almost no alu feeling, and there is a slight bitterness. It tastes good as usual, but my stupid tongue can't quite tell what's super about it.

Suddenly it got cold, so I wondered if I should go for heated sake, but I decided to go with cold sake. Today I went with my gut instinct and chose a brand I didn't know. When I opened it, the aroma was rich, as the label said it was aged. When I drank it, it was not as strong as I had imagined from the aroma, but it had a strong sake-like flavor and I could feel the acidity asserting itself. When tasted on the tongue, it has a moderate alkalinity, but the acidity wraps it up nicely. It's been a while since I've had a sake that was so easy to understand! I felt like this was the best sake I've had in a long time, but I'm not sure if it's because this one is aged. I'm not sure if it's because it's aged or not, but it's my favorite, so I'd like to try others!

I was very impressed with the Kuheiji I drank the other day, so I tried a different sake rice! When I first sipped it, it had a very nice fruity aroma that, like the Yamadanishiki, was a little different from the ginjo aroma I had smelled before. When I drank it, it had a gentle sweetness. The mouthfeel is gentler than Yamadanishiki (I vaguely remember that). Even when tasted with the root of the tongue, the alu sensation is only slightly perceptible. Like Yamadanishiki, this one is a different kind from the ones I've had so far. Personally, I'd recommend this one. Let's try some of the others.

I was looking for a Mansaku Hiyayogoshi, thinking of going for a sweet sake after a long time, and this was recommended to me and I bought it! It seems they use all Sanke Nishiki sake rice! I wonder if it's popular among breweries in Nagano. I wanted to taste the sweetness that opens up as the temperature changes, so I served it cold. When opening the mouth, there is a faint scent of ginjo! When you drink it, the sweetness is not too assertive and surprisingly refreshing, probably due to the fact that it was chilled so thoroughly. The mouthfeel is gentle, with a slight sweetness in the aftertaste. When tasted on the root of the tongue, it has a slight alkalinity and a slight bitterness. When the temperature rises, the sweetness increases as expected and changes to a soft and gentle sweetness. But I personally prefer Mansaku. (Postscript) When it is warmed up further, the sweetness changes to a very refined sweetness. But I still prefer the Manzaku.

I got a sub-zero stored Daiginjo from Kamito, the number one of the year so far! When you open your mouth, it has a very nice ginjo aroma, though not very assertive! When you drink it, you will notice a refined and crisp dry taste unlike that of the raw sake! But it is not harsh, the mouthfeel is still gentle and the aftertaste is clean. When tasted on the tongue, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste with only a hint of alkali. I prefer the sweetness of the raw sake, but this is the dryness that is advertised, and I felt that it is the true form of the sake. I liked this one a lot too!

Slight ginjo aroma when opening the mouth. When you drink it, a gentle, refreshing sweetness comes in a flurry. The mouthfeel is very soft and the aftertaste is refreshing. When you taste it with your tongue, you can feel a slight bitterness and a little bitterness. There are no surprises or new sensations, but I can choose Kayasya without any worries.

My first Kuheiji, and I'm really looking forward to it, even though it's a little late for me! When I opened my mouth, there was a very nice fruity aroma that was a little different from the ginjo aroma I've smelled before. As I drink it, I feel a slight tingle on my tongue, but at the same time I taste sweetness. The mouthfeel is not too light, and although it is assertive in its own way, the aftertaste is not persistent. Even when tasted on the root of the tongue, the alu sensation is only slightly noticeable. The bitterness is the same, but for some reason I felt a slight yogurt-like sweet and sour sourness (in a good way). So, to put it shortly, it was very tasty! I can see why they recommended drinking it in a wine glass! This is a different kind of wine than I've had before. It made me want to try many other things!

When opening the mouth, a slightly sweet aroma rises. When you drink it, you feel a slight sweetness. The mouthfeel is very gentle, and the aftertaste is smooth without being persistent. When tasted on the root of the tongue, there is almost no alkalinity or bitterness. On the contrary, it tastes like rice, which is a strange sensation. It gives the impression of a polished, clean and gentle sake.

A hint of ginjo aroma upon opening the mouth. This looks promising! When you drink it, you are greeted with a slight carbonation and a soft sweetness. The taste on the root of the tongue is not so bitter either. The wildness of the raw sake is felt to a certain extent, but it is considered to be basically mild. Yes, it's delicious!

 It is said to be made entirely from Akita's Kame-no-o sake rice. When opening the mouth, there is a slight ginjo aroma. When you drink it, a little spiciness comes first, then a little sweetness, and then it goes away. It's a little strange, but it doesn't have that much of an alty taste, so it's not unpleasant. However, I don't feel the attraction so much. I don't think I'll be able to drink it again.

I got a recommendation for a special junmai from a guy who had recently had a good one, so I took him up on it. Apparently, all the rice used is Yamae Nishiki from Nagano, Japan. When you open your mouth, you can feel the carbonation leaving and the aroma is as good as that of a Daiginjo! When you drink it, you first feel the slightly stimulated carbonation, and unlike the Daiginjo, the spiciness and acidity show themselves! There is not so much aliveness when you taste it on the root of your tongue. Roughly speaking, it is made in the same way as the unfiltered raw Daiginjo, but this one has more of the roughness of the raw Daiginjo. Also, if you are looking for dryness, this is the one for you.

Upon opening the mouth, a moderate ginjo aroma rises. The mouthfeel retains Kayasha's usual softness, but the usual sweetness is not so apparent. It's a bit on the light side. I don't know if this is due to the difference in sake rice or if it is designed that way... As is the case with Kayasha, there is not so much alu feeling when you taste it on the root of your tongue The aftertaste is soooo clean. I picked this up because of its novelty, and it's not bad, but I don't want to repeat it as a priority.

When you open your mouth, you can feel a slight loss of carbonation. There is also a slight ginjo aroma, but it is very faint. When you drink it, you first feel the gentle stimulation of very slight carbonation and a slight but fruity sweetness. When tasted on the root of the tongue, there is not so much alkali, but just a hint of sweetness. The aftertaste is not sharp, but it is very nice, with a slight sweetness that disappears in a whiff. Overall, this one! But I think it is very good for those who want to drink sweet sake. I haven't had two bunnies from the same brewery, so I'll have to give it a try!

How to drink ... cold When you open your mouth, you can feel the carbonation leaving the bottle and a very nice ginjo aroma. It looks a little cloudy. When you drink it, the first thing that comes out is the gentle sweetness along with the gentle stimulation of the slight carbonation. There is no alty sensation when you taste it on the root of your tongue. The aftertaste is a gentle sweetness. This is the most delicious sake I've had in a long time. Maybe I'll repeat it.
