It is a very good sake. It has a beautiful but firm flavor and moderate acidity at room temperature. The warming up of the bottle, which was cold when the bottle was opened, increased the softness of the flavor, which was also quite good.

This is a hiyaoroshi Yamahai Junmai from Tedorigawa, which was also purchased last year. The palate has a firm acidity and a soft umami flavor that is typical of Yamahai. The lingering aftertaste is mellowed by the acidity, but it finishes well. It is a recommended bottle for those who like Yamahai.

This is the first time for me to drink one of Tsuji-Zenbei's which I used to buy a lot in the past. The soft umami spreads slowly in the mouth, and the smoothness of the 17% alcohol content is unnoticeable. The soft base makes it a good match with Japanese food.

GMN4
The first time I drank Bunka Jin, the fruity and firm acidity spread on the palate, leaving a slight whiff of spiciness and just the right amount of spiciness. The finish is complex, with a slight bitterness. I like sake with a lot of acidity, so I thought it was quite tasty. I would like to buy this bottle again.

I bought the hiyaoroshi of Banshu Issen, which I love drinking, as soon as it was released. It has a beautiful umami and acidity that is typical of Banshu Ikkyo, but the finish is gentle like hiyaoroshi, and the acidity in the aftertaste is pleasantly extended. The taste is stable and I would like to buy it again next year.

It is the same as Fudo's Hiyaoroshi, which is sometimes consumed as a draft sake. The taste is juicy and firm, as is typical of Fudo, but it also has a calm taste, as is typical of hiyaoroshi. Unlike the nama-shu, the taste does not decline even after about a week after opening the bottle.

Hououmida hiyaoroshi, which I often drink. Since I like hiyaoroshi, I buy a variety of hiyaoroshi at this time of year, but Hououmida is a stable taste. It has a gorgeous taste that is typical of Hououmida with a mellowness that gives it a more well-balanced finish. It is a bottle that makes me want to drink again.

GMN4
Unlike Haneya's usual nama-sake, hiyaoroshi has a much gentler spread of umami in the mouth. It is a matter of taste, but if you are looking for a more fruity and rich sake, junmai ginjo nama-zake is better, but hiyaoroshi is also good if you want a lighter taste with a mild umami.

My father bought this sake when he went to Toyama, and the sake shop recommended it to him. It is a mellow umami sake, with a rich umami flavor that spreads in the mouth with a hint of acidity typical of Yamahai sake. The aftertaste is lighter than expected, with a refreshing finish and a good sharpness.

The first time I tried it, I was surprised to find that it was not as juicy and fruity as the Collage, but it was good enough. It's a little less juicy and fruity than Collaku, but it's still delicious. It's a bit spicy and rough, but it's also very powerful, so if you want to drink it with oily food, you should choose Miyazumi instead of Collaku.

It has been a while since I found Gobashi and bought it. It is a junmai namaishu, which means it is very clean and has a gentle flavor and sweetness that spreads in the mouth.

It's a little sweeter than the traditional Yukichubai, but it mellows out when heated, so I haven't had it for a long time. I bought it a long time ago and drank it lukewarm. It was just the right amount of sweetness, and the warming softened the alcohol and made it mellow and delicious. I enjoyed it with sashimi, kamaboko (fish cakes), and other fish-based foods.

I buy Hououmida with high frequency, but this is the first time I bought Heki-ban. The taste in the mouth is sweet and delicious, as is typical of Hououmida, but it also has a spiciness and a strong flavor, as is typical of the original sake. I paired it with seafood, but I felt it was a powerful sake that would also go well with meat and tempura.

I have not bought this in a long time. It has a soft umami, sweetness and moderate acidity, and it is also moderately spicy. It is not light and refreshing, but rather has a firm flavor that lingers in the mouth. It is a good match for seafood, but it is also stronger than I expected, so I thought it would go well with roast beef and other meat dishes that are not too heavy.

It has a very soft mouthfeel typical of Haneya, with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. Even when heated, the nuance is not lost. It is a perfect match for Japanese food such as fish.

I was surprised to find my favorite sake, Naekaya, on sale at a nearby chain liquor store, Yamaya, so I bought it. I have to go to Toyama regularly, and I buy and drink Naekaya sake quite often, so it is a sake I am familiar with. It is a sake that is not overpowered by strong-flavored food.
