Fruity from the moment you open it. I thought, "This is so bananas!" but when I searched for it on the Internet, I found that it was called "Muscat," which made me lose confidence. It has a banana-like aroma and a sweetness that doesn't lose to the aroma. The bitterness and a bit of sourness are like muscat...? I thought so, but personally, it was banana. Putting aside what kind of fruit it is, it is fruity, sweet, and very tasty.

Japanese pear-like fruity sweetness. When opened, there is a little gas and a great juicy feeling. The sweetness is firm with a little sourness and bitterness, similar to the Sairai that was opened yesterday. It is also 55% special pure and unfiltered. (But that one is raw and this one is hi-ire...? (But that one is raw and this one is hi-ire...?) Comparing the two, Machida's is a bit spicier and more refreshing. It is very tasty.

Fruity aroma, sweet and delicious. Melon...banana...strawberry...? It has a mild taste, but it also has a berry-like sweet and sour taste. Even right after drinking Hanamup, I could feel the sweetness. I think it has a stronger taste and sweeter than the junmai ginjo I drank before. (I don't have a Junmai Ginjo on hand right now, so I can't be sure.) There is a bit of bitterness to tighten things up a bit at the end. Very tasty. (I'm sorry it took me so long to open it.)

As the name suggests, it has an "apple! The aroma and acidity are just like the name. The sweetness does not remain, but is refreshing. (The sweetness of Hanamup, which we drank together to compare the same Sake Komachi, may have been too strong, so the sweetness may have been lost in the haze. I may have made a mistake in drinking them together.) The alcohol content is low, so you can enjoy it easily. It is a little gassy when opened. Postscript: Compared to the "Yukino Kayasha", this one is more acidic and clean. It is not so sweet after all.

This year, I bought three types of nama sake: Omachi, Dewa Sanzan, and Sakekomachi. (I post this every year, so this year I'm combining them into one.) All of them are gorgeous and sweet. If you compare them by rice, you will find that Omachi -> soft and refreshing (-6.8) Dewa Sanzan→Sweet and heavy acid (-8.4) Sakekomachi→Sweet and heavy bitter (-9.1) It was like this. The impression of each is not so different from last year, but I think the cleanness of Oumachi and the sweetness of Dewa Sanzan Tsuki have increased respectively. (I wonder if there was such a difference in the sake level last year...?) (Was there such a big difference in the sake level last year?) As a lover of sweet sake, last year I preferred Sake Komachi > Yumachi > Dewa Sanzan, but this year I think I prefer Sake Komachi > Dewa Sanzan > Yumachi. I still like Sake Komachi.

It smells like banana and tastes sweet and delicious. It has a strong umami flavor, so it may be heavy in taste. I did not notice any off-flavor. The sake is said to be +2 on the sake level, but I personally felt the sweetness was stronger than the spiciness. It can be served by itself or with food, and can be used with non-Japanese food as well. It can also be served warm. Very tasty.

My first impression was "Cute!" was the first impression. The Daimine 3 Grain Aizan, which I opened at about the same time, was a bit more mature with bitterness, but this one was honestly "Gorgeous! Sweet! Hanami!" This one was just like "Hanami! The packaging is retro, and the small size compared to a bottle is cute. It is delicious. The sake rice is Yamada Nishiki.

The moment you pop it open, you get a gassy feeling and a crazy fruity aroma. It smells like melon and lychee. I put it in my mouth with the preconceived notion that it would be sweet because of this aroma + Aisan + ohmine, but the fruitiness came in a flash, and of course the sweetness came in full force, but soon the bitterness came in, and it was maybe more refreshing than I expected. Delicious. My sense is that it has a sake level of -6. It is similar to Hanamup or something like that. I have no confidence at all. I have a feeling that the sweetness will become heavier the day after tomorrow. I really want to know the numbers here. 25/4/17 Postscript I compared it with this year's Hanamup (Dewa Sanzan), and Hanamup was clearly sweeter.

Peaches? Pink grapefruit? It has a very fruity aroma like peach or pink grapefruit. It tastes sweet and sour and a little fizzy, like juice. The bitterness when it goes down your throat may be hoppy. The aroma is different from that of regular sake. The color is pinkish. (The third image on the right. The left one is Sakura Neko. Both have lees. I don't think they are comparable, but the sweetness is a little stronger in Sakura Cat, while the acidity and aroma are stronger in Hanakaze.) I had had sakekasu mayo before, but it was my first time to drink sake. Delicious.

Fruity. It has a leesiness that becomes more complex when mixed with sourness and bitterness. Kotatsu Neko is like a plum wine, and Sakura Neko is similar to it, but a little melon-like. Sakura Cat is a bit more fizzy and light. I like both.

A fruity but Japanese-like sense of déjà vu: ...... What is it? I thought for a moment, "It's plum wine. The aroma, sweetness, and seed-like bitterness are all somehow plum wine-like. The Cat Label series are all sweet and fruity, but this one might be the sweetest of them all. It is delicious. (I kept this one in the fridge to compare it with Sakura Neko. (I kept it in the fridge to compare it with Sakura Cat, which is indeed delicious when sipped over a kotatsu (Japanese low table).

When the bottle is opened, it pops out lightly, with an exciting feeling like a fresh sake. It has a fruity, apple-like aroma, a slight effervescence, and a firm sweetness. (The sake has a sweetness (Sake meter value -5). But it also has a certain sharpness. I realized after drinking that it was alsochrome (not that I don't like alsochrome, but it's not bad). (Not that I don't like alcoholic sake, but I tend to avoid it because I have a constitution that causes me to get drunk.) But it tastes good... I thought it might be similar to Ryoseki's Sweet Emotion that I drank before. I think the Silver Label is sweeter, but it was a long time ago, so I'm not sure.

Muscat-like fruity aroma. But it has acidity and sharpness, and surprisingly low sweetness. Delicious. (I don't have much more to say about it than that, since the back label gives detailed information on aroma and taste.... When I compared it with the leftover Amami, the Amami was sweeter and more pronounced than the Hououmida, and the Hououmida seemed dry)

The moment you open it, it pushes and has a fluffy fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you get a sense of fizz and apple? Pear? I thought it was sweet, but then the bitterness came in and went away quickly. The sweetness doesn't last, and the aftertaste is a bit bitter, like citrus peel. It is delicious. (I opened it too late because I had a period of time when I couldn't drink alcohol. I wanted to drink nigorigo too.) Postscript The aroma became banana-like after 3 days of drinking (personal impression). The sweetness is more pronounced than when it is freshly opened.

It is clean, crisp, and spicy, but also tasty. It has a clear sweetness like Suiyu (Omote) with a hint of aroma. It is delicious. (Sake meter rating +3.1) (It took me a while to open it due to various reasons.)

Fruity and sweet. It is somewhere between banana and grape. A little sourness is also felt afterwards, but the sweetness prevails. I opened it with a bottle of 2024 Hanayuup (Sake Komachi -7 sake) that I had left unopened, and I thought it was just as sweet. Since ohmine is low alcohol, I would drink that like a sweet juice. It has just a slight gassy feeling when opened. (Really slight). Very tasty.

Grapes? Apple? Fruity, like grapes or apples. The sweetness spreads out, but the acidity gives it a crisp and refreshing aftertaste. It has a sharpness, but you don't feel bitterness, astringency, or fizziness, so it goes in smoothly and effortlessly. Transparency. I was not familiar with Shiga sake, but it is very good. (A little bit of magic ink? (A little magic ink? -ish aroma. I'm not sure because my sense of smell, taste and knowledge of this area is limited).

Gorgeous and fruity. The sweetness may be a little stronger than the Junmai Ginjo we usually drink. Immediately after the sweetness is felt, spiciness and bitterness come over it, and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. But the lingering aroma lingers. It is delicious. A bit gassy when opened. Sake meter reading -1.0 Junmai Ginjo is mellow, Junmai Daiginjo has a strong flavor impact, and Super has a strong aroma. I thought so, but I am not sure.

Fruity, sweet and delicious. But it is also sour and spicy, so it is rather refreshing. Delicious. It is freshly opened now, but it will be different tomorrow. I thought it might be similar to Toyo Bijin Junmai Ginjo 50, so I compared them. Both are green apple type. Ace - Sake meter degree -8 Toyo Bijin -> Sake meter degree -5 Toyo Bijin is stronger in fruitiness, aroma, and acidity. (Sweet and sour fruity). Ace is a little weaker in fruitiness but stronger in sweetness. (A little heavy sweetness + spiciness) I like both. Postscript: It seems richer after it has settled down overnight. Kudokidokute Junmai Ginjo might be close to it...? I thought Kudoki-uide was a heavier version of Ace, but I'm a little drunk, so I'm not sure.

Gorgeous and fruity. Compared to the Jyundo Ittou and Princess Michiko wines we have had in the past, this one is light and refreshing. Compared to the more modern and modern Snow Kayasha Junmai Ginjo in the same price range, this one has more acidity and fruitiness. (It has more acidity and fruitiness than the Snowy Kayasha Junmai Ginjo, which is more modern and in the same price range.) Snow Kayasha is a bit more robust and bitter. I like both. They are delicious. Postscript: I compared 3 Junmai Ginjos that I have on hand, including the price, that I think are in the same family. Toyo Bijin: the most fruity with a strong acidity Yukino Kayasha: sweet with a strong bitterness Seductive: Sweetness is strong, bitterness and acidity are about the same. I like sweetness and heaviness, so I think I would choose "Seduction skill" as the best.
