The first impression is that it is a beautiful sake.
It is not too fruity, nor is it overly fruity, nor does it have any off-flavors.
I want to brew sake that is delicious not by polishing the rice but without polishing the rice. This sake was brewed with the desire to provide a delicious sake for everyday toasts, and we could truly experience this desire.
It is also delicious.

The first impression is of ripe pears and a full rice flavor. The aftertaste has a savory bitterness and moderate spiciness, with a smooth throat and a clean aftertaste.
This sake is brewed with Yamadanishiki from Aizu Sakashita and Comet from Uryu in Hokkaido.
Hokkaido Amaryu is a very peaceful rural area...
It's very similar to Aizu Sakashita in terms of soil and environment, and it's very special to drink this sake while thinking of Tenmei's hometown ✨.
This is also delicious.

The first sensation of drinking this wine is a crisp, citrusy, bright acidity like Senkou. Later, the lees flavor and umami give it a crispness.
The slightly hazy color of the sake reminds one of the night sky at Tanabata, hence the name "Galaxy (Milky Way) Label," which is inspired by the night sky in summer.
It is also delicious.

My first impression is a fresh fruitiness like green apple nectar and bitter acidity like grapefruit. Both are quite assertive, but I find them quite balanced.
The "acidity" is sunburst in bursts!
Koueikiku's summer sake is indeed a great example of its quality!
It is also delicious.

The first impression is a soft umami taste typical of Murasaki Uchu, followed by a refreshing and crisp acidity produced by lactic acid bacteria.
It has a deep taste and a very elegant finish.
It is also delicious.

The first impression of drinking this nigori sake is the sweet and sour sourness and umami characteristic of nigori sake. It is quite a creamy nigori sake, but the aftertaste is sour and its sharpness. As it is a summer sake, it is good on the rocks with ice.
It is also delicious.
My favorite degree (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
Poured into a glass, the aroma is quite gorgeous and fruity. However, the first impression when you drink it is different: it is refreshingly dry.
I don't usually drink sake with alcohol, but I wonder if this gorgeous aroma is a result of that.
It is also delicious.

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
When poured into a glass, it has a sweet pineapple fruit aroma, though not as much as CEL-24.
The first impression is of course that the fruity flavor comes to the fore, but there is also a crisp acidity and bitterness, making it a well-balanced sake.
Degree of personal preference (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
When poured into a glass, it has a fresh citrus aroma. The first impression after drinking is that there is none of the sweetness characteristic of nigori sake, but rather a subtle sweetness and sourness that spreads in the mouth in good balance, with a guttural bitter aftertaste.
The bitter aftertaste and bitterness leave a strong impression, and it tastes exactly like grapefruit.
It is also delicious!

My first impression is that it has a distinctly fruity, dark, mellow sweetness.
Yukitsubaki is my very favorite brand, inexpensive and cosy for this quality✨.
This one is also delicious.

The first impression of drinking this sake is that it has a fruity and refreshing taste unique to Koei Kiku, as well as a sweet and sour taste like white peaches.
This sake is said to be the first trial of a blended sake that Koei Kiku tried to create a new flavor.
Indeed, as time passed after opening the bottle, I could taste the complexity of the aged flavor.
It is also delicious.
My favorite level (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
My first impression is that all the flavors, including sweetness, bitterness, and acidity, are in harmony. Although it is a limited-edition sake, the fresh aroma and taste are moderate.
It is a sake that was selected for ANA First Class, which may mean that it is an average sake in the good sense of the word, and that there are no likes or dislikes in its taste.
It is also delicious.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
The first impression is a gorgeous fruity aroma, refreshing acidity and umami... The aftertaste is just the right amount of bitterness. The aftertaste has just the right amount of bitterness. There is little bitterness, and each flavor stands out.
It is also delicious.

The first impression of the drink is the gorgeous aroma and refreshing acidity that can be felt more than the 807 series... a strong sweet and sour lemon-like flavor.
It is also delicious.
My favorite level (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
The first impression of the drink is a complex flavor that can be perceived as sour, bitter, sweet, tasty, astringent, and fruity, all of which can be felt.
The final taste is probably the refreshing acidity and pleasant bitterness.
This is also delicious.
