I bought the most affordable 60 in a line of 60, 50, and 40.
It has a juicy pear-like taste. It is sweet and tasty, but has a refreshing aftertaste. It has a fizzy feeling when opened.
Delicious.

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)

Sweet and delicious. It's fruity, but it's hard to describe... if I had to say, strawberry...? It's like rice turned fruity as it is. It has a fizzy feeling when opened.
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.

大木
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.

Muscat-like fruity and sweet. A little gassy when opened. Sake level unknown, but it seems sweeter than SweetEmotion at -2. It has a good acidity, but it is fruity all the way through with a lingering aftertaste. Very tasty.

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.)

大木
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 drank it, it was an old sake and I didn't like it.
PS: I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.
This sake may be similar to Kudoki-Ue's Junmai-Ginjo in terms of the strain. Kudoki-Ue's is sweeter than Kudoki-Ue's. The Yukino Kayasha is a bit spicier, more acidic, and cleaner. I like both.

It is sweet and delicious. Compared to the tropical fruity flavor of SummerSnowman (mandarin orange flower), it is more moist and subdued. It is also delicious.

大木
Tropical aroma and sweetness like mango or pineapple. The aroma made me think, "Maybe it's too sweet?" but the sweetness is not so strong. The acidity is sharp and refreshing. I felt summer.

Compared to the Nama Sake series, the freshness is subdued and moist. The sweetness and gorgeousness come together with a firm sharpness, making it refreshing.
I really wanted to compare the nama and hi-ire versions of the same sake rice, but I was unable to buy any Miso Nishiki nama sake this year. It would be nice to compare with other hi-ire sake made with different sake rice.

It has a mild sweetness like melon or banana. The sourness and a bit of bitterness are well balanced without leaving too much sweetness. Delicious.

Sweet and fruity. Muscat-like. A bit fizzy when opened. There's a bit of bitterness, but it's also grape-skin-like, like juice. The package is austere, but the contents are modern. Very tasty.
(I'm not sure about the sake level, but I felt a strong sweetness even though I had been drinking Hana Oup just before...)

It is heavy on sweetness and a bit bitter. This year's was the same impression. It is fun to see the difference in the rice used for sake, even though "sweet and tasty" is a common taste. I could drink only 4 kinds, but I think my favorite was Sake Komachi.
Personal preference note: Sakekomachi (sweet and heavy bitter)> Omachi (soft)>>Dewa Sanzan (a little heavy and sour)>Sake Mirai (sharp and spicy)
Japanese>English
大木
Sweet and delicious. I think it is similar to Omachi as a type. I had an image of Oumachi as a gorgeous and fluffy wine, but Dewu Sanzai is a bit more robust and has a bit more acidity than Oumachi (I'm not so sure). But that's only in comparison. Hanamup is gorgeous and sweet. It is also delicious.
Personal preference: Sake Komachi (sweet and heavy) > Omachi (fluffy) >> Izu Sanzan (a bit heavy and sour) >> Sake Mirai (sharp and spicy)

Melon? Pineapple? Fruity aroma like melon or pineapple. The floral and sweet flavor comes in a rush. The sharpness of the aroma is followed by a lingering aftertaste. Delicious. High-class one cup.
(It cost about 900 yen. But it's a cup of Junmai Daiginjo from Tasake, and it's a lot cheaper than drinking it outside.)
