I bought a brand name "Kouko" from Chiba Prefecture, which I have not yet drunk at Sake-no-wa Map. It is not readable as "Kinoene" at first sight. We had it cold. It has a strong fruity aroma, and the mouthfeel is slightly effervescent, with a strong sweetness and light acidity as in the aroma, followed later by a bitter taste that finishes off. It is a very easy to drink sake. We drank it with light edamame (green soybeans) and rich liver stew. It was delicious enough, but I think it would be best for me to enjoy the sweetness as an aperitif.

I opened a bottle of Bunraku Junmai that I purchased at a Bunraku-owned sake store when I went back to my parents' house and had it cold. It has less peculiar taste than the "Namo Hashiroshi Junmai" (blue label), and its moderate sweetness and good umami taste match well with other dishes. I paired it with motsu nabe for dinner, and the balance with the motsu was so good that I never got tired of it and could not stop drinking it. The reasonable price is also good.

We had "Ho-no-tomo" cold after a week after opening the bottle. We had it as a mealtime sake with meat spaghetti. The fruity aroma and the sweetness of the mouthfeel are the same as when the bottle was opened, and the fruit-like acidity can also be enjoyed, making it a stable, high-level sake with a delicious taste. It also goes well with after-meal meat, but I couldn't stop drinking it after dinner and ended up emptying the entire bottle. Recently, more and more stores are carrying the Saku series, making it easier to enjoy the sweet and sour taste. It is one of my favorite brands.

Good evening, Maddy 😃. After reading your review, I had a craving for spaghetti with meat sauce 🍝😋 and although we had different drinks, we had 🍝 for dinner 🤗. It was delicious with alcohol! Thank you 🍝🍝🍝

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. Wine is probably the standard with pasta, but sake goes well too. I told my wife, the author of the pasta with meat sauce, and she was delighted!

I bought a bottle of Bunraku's Namahashime Junmai from a liquor store near my parents' house and had it cold. When opened, it was not too sweet and had a strong acidity like a sake yeast yeast yeast, leaving a strong bitter aftertaste. It was less alcoholic and less umami than I had imagined. Personally, I felt it was more difficult to drink than Junmai Ginjo Bunraku because it did not have the same sweetness and umami, so I would like to try it after letting it sit for a while.

The second cup of New Year's Day was a cold glass of Choshu Shuzo's Tenbi Nigori Sake. This was my first time drinking Tenbi, and the fruity, sweet flavor came through directly. It has a very crisp and refreshing finish with a slight effervescence and refreshing fruit acidity, making it suitable for both aperitifs and mid-meal drinks. It seems to be easy to drink even for women. Since we drank it as a family, it was empty before we could enjoy the taste change. I forgot to take a picture of the bottle, so I only took a picture of the paper tag that was left behind.

I had it cold as a New Year's Day sake on New Year's Day 2025 when I went home to my parents' house. As a junmai sake, it has a sweet impression on the palate, but it is light and light with a strong umami and acidity. We paired it with scallops, tuna, and salmon sashimi, and it was a good match.

I had it cold on New Year's Eve when I went home to my parents' house. The aroma was not so strong, but I could directly feel the deliciousness of the rice in my mouth. It was served after dinner, so there was only nuts left for sake, and I regret that I could not pair it with the sashimi and roast beef that were served for dinner. I paired it with nuts, but it was dry and sharp.

I had a glass of "Ho-no-Tomo", a junmai sake from Saku, served cold. It has a fruity, apple-like aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness and light acidity that matches the aroma. It is very easy to drink and tastes very delicious. The acidity gives it a refreshing aftertaste that will leave you wanting another sip. It was delicious enough to be served with Yose-nabe, but if you want to take advantage of its sharpness, it would be a good match with dishes with a little stronger flavor. It is fruity, so it is delicious enough to drink by itself without an accompaniment.

I bought a bottle of Kuroryu Jungin at a local liquor store for a year-end dinner. I had it cold. When I opened the bottle, I could smell a faint aroma of melon. It has a hint of sweetness, umami, and bitterness, but it flows smoothly down the throat, and the crispness after drinking makes it a good match for any dish. This time, I drank it with a small fish snack as a side dish. It is a stable sake with a dry taste.

After opening the bottle in the refrigerator, I let it sit for a week and served it cold. The bitterness that was strong when the bottle was opened was gone, and the balance of umami and acidity had changed to a good balance. The sweetness had also appeared, and it was very tasty even without the sake. Perhaps it was because I let it oxidize a little after opening the bottle that it changed to a flavor that suited me just right. It was very tasty. Sake is interesting because there is an unexpected change in taste between drinking it after opening the bottle and drinking it after a short period of time.

Purchased a 300ml bottle for hotel drinking on a business trip to Yokohama. I chose a bottle of Yamanashi sake, which has not yet been mapped on the Sake-no-Wawa map. I used an Evanue titanium camping cup that I bought before my business trip. It is titanium, so it is lightweight, unbreakable, and easy to carry in my bag on business trips. I hope to one day visit Izakaya Shinkansen. I drank it cold, but it had a light sweetness and sourness, and the alcohol content was moderate. It is easy to drink and wears off quickly, so although I served it with nuts this time, I think it would not be out of place with a regular dinner.

Opened at a Christmas party at home. It is said to have a very elegant aroma and soft sweetness made with rose yeast (Princess Michiko). I had enjoyed it so much at a toast at an event hosted by a local liquor store that I bought it in November, even though the price was high for an individual, and put it aside to enjoy until Christmas. This time, I had it as an aperitif for a toast, and the sweetness was in full bloom, making it a true adult juice. It is too luxurious. There was no sourness or bitterness at all, and the sweetness of the rice was more than enough. We opened the bottle for a pre-dinner toast, but it went well with roast chicken without any discomfort, so the drink went down smoothly and we drank the entire 720 ml bottle in no time at all.

I bought it at the Tokyo Station Hasegawa Sake Shop on my way home from a business trip. I had never heard of this brand, but I bought it on impulse because it was a Hasegawa Sake Shop collaboration product. In contrast to the sweet aroma of the cider, the taste is more bitter, with a weak umami and sourness coming later. In my mind, it is a perfect food sake. I personally didn't like the bitterness of cider when served with rice, but when I had it with strong-flavored meat dishes, I thought it enhanced the flavor of the meat. I wish the bitterness was a little less (personal preference).

I bought it at a local liquor store, opened it that day, and had it cold. The liquor store recommended "On a night like this..." It seems to be by far the most popular sake in the series. It has a strong impression of umami and acidity rather than sweetness. I served it with Satsuma-age (fried fish cake) and Senmaizuke (pickles), and it washed away the oily feeling of the Satsuma-age and was a perfect match.

I was on a business trip to Tochigi and was able to stop by the Mekada Sake Shop, so I purchased it and opened it at home. Since I had not tried any sake from Toyama Prefecture, I chose Haneya, which has a good reputation at Sake-no-wa. Immediately after opening the bottle, I had it cold, which seemed to be the most delicious way to drink it. It is a junmai daiginjo, so the aroma is gorgeous, and the mouthfeel is sweet and easy to sip. The aftertaste is sweet and umami, with a hint of bitterness. I drank it as an aperitif without a side dish, but drank half of the bottle before dinner was served.

Hi Maddy 😃 Congratulations on your first Toyama Sake ㊗️ at Haneya without a doubt 🎉 I'm glad that Mekada-san has started to carry it 🤗.

Whenever I have time on a business trip, I stop by Megada Sake Shop, but I tend to linger there because they have not only Tochigi sake, but also Tasake, Kido, etc. I tend to get lost in the store. At that time, they also had Kaze no Mori, so I was really lost. It is a luxurious problem, isn't it?

I bought a 180 ml bottle at Tokyo Station last week and opened it at my hotel during a business trip. I drank it cold when I opened it, and at room temperature on the bullet train the next day. It has a fruity aroma when opened. The 180ml bottle was not enough, and I regretted that I should have had a 720ml bottle. The sweetness and umami are strong and light, so it is enjoyable even without sake.

I had it cold for a week after opening. The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is pleasant, much the same as when the bottle was opened. After drinking, it has a good bitterness and a nice sharpness. I drank it with pickled plums and fish mignonette, and it was very refreshing and light. It is rather dry, so it is recommended for those who value not only sweetness but also umami and drinkability.

I had it cold for a week after opening. It still had the cider-like aroma that I had felt when I opened the bottle, and it had a moderate sourness and a strong sweetness at the beginning, followed by a bitter taste at the end. The Modern Sentori we drank together was also sweet, but I felt it was even sweeter than the Modern Sentori. I think this sake is a good value for a stand-alone sake. The bitterness after finishing the drink was felt as a sharpness when the bottle was opened, but this time the bitterness lingered for a long time, so I personally recommend finishing the drink when the bottle is opened.

It was served cold after two weeks in the refrigerator. When we drank it last week, the acidity was quite strong, but since last week, the acidity has rounded out a bit and the sweetness and umami have become good. We enjoyed it as an aperitif on its own. I personally preferred the Modern to the Classic, which I drank before, as a stand-alone drink. I enjoyed the change in taste and will buy it again when I find it.

Purchased at a liquor store stop on the way home from a business trip. I had it cold. It has a fruity aroma like apples, a slight effervescence, and a nice sweetness. It is light and not at all sweet, and when drunk, it has a sharp taste that resets and refreshes the palate. In fact, I drank it without realizing that it was a honjozo with brewer's alcohol. I guess that is the reason for the refreshing feeling. I was surprised when I looked at the label while drinking it. It was so delicious that it changed my image of honjozo.
