Low alcohol, light and fruity. Freshness and moderate acidity. It's the kind that goes down easy. I use edamame, olive oil, powdered cheese, and black pepper as a snack, but I can drink it forever. I thought it might be a bit sweet before I drank it, since it has the same sake level of -7 as Hana Yuu, but the sweetness is light due to the acidity and the low alcohol content. It's good for those days when you have to work the next day but still want to drink sake. However, it goes so smoothly that I think I will end up drinking too much...

It has a more floral aroma while retaining the sweetness and deliciousness of the rice that is usually enjoyed with special junmai sake. The aroma is fluffy, but this one is lighter. It also has a slight bitterness to finish it off. It has a slightly fizzy taste when opened. Very tasty. If I had kept it after buying it, summer would be over, so I'll use "nebuta" just for the sake cup... (From a festival point of view, "nebuta" is more familiar.

Gorgeous and fruity. Compared to a recent autumn sake, Harukasumi Kuri-Label, Kuri-Label has a stronger aroma that enters through the nose, but the taste is clean and crisp, while Neko-Label has a more robust sweetness. The Neko Label is sweeter than the Kuri-Label, but the Kuri-Label goes down much easier, so I think it goes well with autumnal foods. It goes well with autumnal foods such as fried lotus root and soaked deep-fried eggplant. Haruka is more likely to go well with fatty grilled autumn fish. If you want to enjoy it with a meal, both are delicious. If you want to enjoy it by itself, I think it would be Neko Label.

It's slightly sweet and fruity, but disappears quickly before I can think of what fruit type it is. Maybe white grapes...? It's like clean water, or a pale image, with great clarity. It has a slight fizzy feeling when opened. It's refreshing and perfect for an autumnal sake. It went great with maitake mushrooms (just roasted and sprinkled with salt). Delicious.

The aroma is mild but the flavor of the rice is strong. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and cohesive. It can be served by itself or as an in-between-dinner drink. It is also good when served warm. It is a bit on the classic side, but it is still delicious. I didn't know it had changed its name from "Kinryu".

Dark fruity, like a ripe sweet pear. Mature mellowness coexists with a bit of freshness. I think there is just a little bit of fizziness. Very tasty. To be honest, I have been avoiding autumn sake because I am not very good at it, but maybe I can enjoy it if it is from a modern sake company. (Personal note: I didn't like Chikuma Nishiki's Aki-agari because it was too classic. I can drink it if it's heated up or with hot water)

It's mellow with a heavy ripe fruity and sweetness, like a ripe peach or banana. Is there brown sugar in it? I thought for a moment. The aroma and taste are broad and deep. I would like to drink it by itself, not as a food wine. It is very delicious. I used to prefer fresh and fruity new sake and nama sake, but I think my perception is about to change. It's like the difference between shinzake/nama-shu -> cake with fresh fruits and ohmine hiyaoroshi -> stollen with dried fruits... I like them both. (I like both... (maybe it's similar to Fuku-komachi's Kijoshu? (I thought it might be similar to Fuku-Komachi's Kijo-zake, but I'm not sure)

I had a classic image of Jyobari, so I was surprised to see that it was a more modern fruity type. The aroma is apple-like? The sweetness is not that strong, and the spiciness and bitterness come through gradually. It is well-balanced and not too strong, so it is perfect as a food wine. It is delicious. (Compare with Tasake, a special junmai sake also from Aomori. Tasake has a stronger aroma and lingering taste. Tasake is stronger in aroma and aftertaste, while Morai is mellower and milder. I like both)

It has a fizzy feeling when opened. The fizziness may also be the reason for the spiciness, and it is rather refreshing. Delicious. Postscript: After the second day. The fizzy sensation has settled down, and the sweetness and umami can be felt more firmly. The sharpness is still there and the balance is good even though it is a little sweeter.

Sweet aroma, pear-like and fruity. The sweetness is accompanied by a strong umami flavor, which gives it a rich taste. There is also a bit of bitterness and acidity, and this tightness is well balanced with a gorgeous breadth. There is a gaseous feeling when opened. Very tasty.

Sweet and sour and fruity. A little gassy when opened. I think the impression is similar to SweetEmotion, including sweetness, acidity, and a slight alcohol taste. Haruka has a softer aroma and stronger flavor. (I can't be sure, as I've already had Sweet Emotion and can't compare the two.) (I haven't drank Niimasa recently, so I don't know the difference of Rokugo-yeast...) (I haven't had Shinsei recently, so I don't know the difference between the two... Is this sweet-sourness the Rokugo-yeast?) At any rate, it is delicious.

Melon-like aroma. When I opened it, I thought it was a melon soda type with a strong gaseous taste. But it has a nice sharpness and the sweetness does not remain that much. The aroma is fruity, but the drink is refreshing, so I think it can be used as a food wine. It is delicious.

My first impression was "apple juice. I don't think I was pulled in by the color image on the package, but the aroma and sweetness were very apple-like. It was sweet but also a little sour, and more refreshing than the Ryoseki Hanamup series. Delicious. (There is a slight aroma of magic ink, but I only noticed it because I compared it with Hana Yuu, so I don't mind it.)

Apple-like fruity and gorgeous. Compared to the junmai ginjos I usually drink, it is clean and elegant. It has acidity and light sweetness. The sake level is -5 for this one and +/-0 for the junmai ginjo, which is quite different numerically, but they seem to be about the same sweetness (perhaps because they were just opened and I was drunk). (Maybe because it was just opened & I'm drunk.) The freshly opened one has a slight fizziness. It's delicious. Postscript Left it for a day. The aroma and sweetness came out with a whiff. The way it spreads is Junmai Ginjo <Super. I don't think there is that much difference in sweetness, but it has a strong fruity feeling, and it lingers on slowly. The first day, it was hidden by the fizziness...? Very tasty.

Compared to Dewa Sanzan, the freshness and juiciness of this sake has been calmed down, and the taste is moist and mellow. The sweetness is about the same. Compared to Misato Nishiki, which is also fire-brewed, Dewa Sanzu has a stronger fruity flavor. Misato Nishiki is fruity, but I think it has more umami and sharpness of rice. Both are delicious, but my personal preference is Dewa Sanzu. I prefer the raw sake or the hi-ire sake. Having said that, they are all delicious.

Fruity, with a strong sweetness. It is well-balanced with just the right amount of acidity. Personally, I think it is somewhere between "sweet and delicious" and "light and easy to drink. It can be enjoyed on its own or as an in-between-dinner drink. Delicious. The sake rating is +1.5. I used to avoid it because the first time I tried it, it was an old sake and I didn't like it... What a waste. PS: I'm not sure if it's a good sake or not, but it's a good sake. This sake may be similar to Kudoki-Ue's Junmai-Ginjo in terms of the strain. Kudoki-Ue's is sweeter when compared to the Kudoki-Ue. The Yukino Kayasha is a bit more acidic and refreshing. I like both.
