Temperature 5°C
Preference 70%.
Color Slightly yellow
Aroma: More full than floral. It is more like junmai.
Taste: Dry on the palate, with a strong aftertaste of rice.

Color Pale brown, lighter than highball.
Nose: No freshness. Mild.
Taste: Soft and rich, like a Hiyamoroshi with a bit of Kijoshu blended in.
Overall impression: No signs of damage for a sake that has been sitting in the store for 8 months. However, since it is a draft sake, it probably doesn't taste like it should.
I should have compared it with a new one.
Temperature 5°C
Taste 80
Color Almost colorless and transparent. It seems to have a faint brownish tinge.
Aroma: Slightly honey-like sweet aroma. The aroma on the palate and the lingering aroma are indescribable and mysterious.
Taste: Mildly sweet on the palate with a spiciness that comes later.
Overall impression: It has a punch that is typical of nama-zake, but I think it has been mildly changed in the 8 months it has been brewed.
There is no old fragrance or unpleasant smell.
Temperature 5°C

Color Clear and colorless
Aroma: Clear and floral, but as it warms up, the aroma becomes heavier and the smell of alcohol becomes stronger.
Taste: Fairly easy to drink. Like the aroma, it is good when cold, but not so good when warm.
Overall: Good for the price.
Temperature 5°C
Taste 70%.
Color Cloudy
Aroma: Gutsy aroma of rice. It is like a sweet sake, not sweet.
Taste: The mouthfeel is harsh due to the strong gas. Even without that, it is still dry to begin with. The alcohol content is slightly low at 13%, but the sweetness is not so strong.
Overall impression: It has a Calpis-like taste, perhaps due to its appearance.
Temperature 5°C
Taste 85
Color Clear and colorless
Aroma: Freshness of freshness and strength of the original sake. This is the kind of aroma I want.
Taste: Good balance of moderate sweetness, sourness and bitterness. As soon as it is poured into the glass, it has a gaseous taste and a little spiciness.
General comments
Temperature 5°C
Taste 80
Color: Pale and cloudy
Nose: Fruity, rice-like, raw and ginjo-like.
Taste: Slight sourness followed by bitterness. The lack of sweetness, as expected from the aroma, gives the impression of imbalance.
Overall impression: When served with sashimi, the sake has a fishy smell.
Temperature 5°C
Taste 80
Color: Light and cloudy
Nose: Slightly sweet aroma of rice with a Junmai Ginjo-like flavor.
Taste: Slightly less sweet, but well balanced with sourness and bitterness.
The spiciness is not so much a taste as a fizzy taste, like a fizzy cola.
Overall impression: Not bad, but I prefer the other Toyo Bijin series. Although not indicated on the label, this is a draft sake.

Color Clear and colorless
Aroma: Junmai-like aroma of rice.
Taste: Some kind of a tangy taste.
Overall impression: I was not into this Dewazakura either. Hmmm, have my tastes changed? At any rate, I found that my tastes do not match those of Mr. Rui Yoshida.
I like Dewazakura. If you have a chance, how about a 40-50% portion of Yuki-no-Mikami, including the cost? Yukimanzan is also delicious, but a bit pricey...

Color Yellow
Nose Fresh and fruity, citrusy aroma.
Taste: Not noticeable, hidden by the strong acidity, but there is a fair amount of bitterness. It can only be considered a draft sake, but there is no mention of it on the label.
Overall impression: It will suit those who like strong acidity.
Sake is only licked Temperature 5°C
Taste 75
Color Slightly yellow
Nose: Fresh, sweet rice aroma. From the mouthfeel to the lingering aroma, it has a slight old sake flavor.
Taste: Light on the palate, with a sweetness that is typical of nama-shu. The mouthfeel is light and sweet like a nama-shu, but then it switches to dry and crisp. The aroma is in harmony with the flavor.
Overall impression: I like Dewazakura on the whole, but this one did not appeal to me.
Temperature 5°C, 55°C

Color Gold
Aroma: When cold, it has a sweet aroma similar to kijoshu, and the lingering aroma is like that of cheap old sake.
When heated, the aroma mellows out.
Taste: As aromatic as the aroma. Taste: As it smells, but the sweet aftertaste lingers for a long time and is a bit bitter when heated.
Not good with sashimi.

Color Colorless and transparent
Nose: Hmmm, can't detect any ginjo aroma from the glass. It is more like a honjozo.
Taste: Starts with bitterness, then umami, then quickly becomes spicy.
Overall impression: It has been a while since I have had this type of sake, but I don't know if it is this type of sake. It's still good as a food sake, but... have my tastes changed?

Color Pale brown
Nose: Slightly sweet with a hint of rice
Taste: The mouthfeel is tangy and spicy with a slight gasiness, followed by a soft sweetness. The aftertaste is crisp and dry, probably due to the high alcohol content.

Color Almost colorless and transparent

Color Pale brown.
Nose: Sweet aroma with unaged fruity notes. After swallowing, there is a slight smell of aging in the mouth, perhaps due to the fact that it has been aged for 5 months.
Taste: Sweet on the palate with a spicy alcohol aftertaste.
Overall impression: Not for sale... I think it should be left as it is.
Temperature 55°C, room temperature (about 10°C?)
Taste 75%.
Color Clear and colorless.
Aroma: Not so strong at room temperature, but when warmed up, it has a full rice aroma.
Taste: Soft sweetness. Bitter taste when cooled down from room temperature or warmed up.
Overall impression: Although it says "It is not bad to warm it up," I did not find it tasty at room temperature, which is close to cold. It tastes better when warmed. Personally, I would say this is only for warming sake.
