We bought a bottle of Kuroryu Jungin at a local liquor store. I tried to buy Junmai Daiginjo Ginpu because I liked its elegant sweetness when I tasted it at the liquor store, but they were out of it, so I chose the basic Jungin. I had it cold and had grilled gizzards with salt and pepper as an entrée. In my opinion, Kuroryu is a versatile all-purpose food sake that goes well with both meat and fish. The fruity taste is moderate, with a light sweetness and acidity that leaves a delicious rice flavor on the tongue, and the crispness after swallowing is pleasant. The alcohol content is relatively low, so it is consumed at a fast pace, which is a drawback. It was a blissful weekend evening drink.

Purchased at Tokyo Station on the way home from a business trip. This is the first time I have had it in Fukuoka. I first had it cold. I didn't notice much aroma or carbonation, but the taste was clean and refreshing, with a natural light sweetness spreading on the palate, giving the impression of high clarity and a nice sharpness. It seems to be a good drink to accompany dinner, and it has a great all-around feeling that seems to go with everything. It is so refreshing that you can drink it as much as you like with rice. It is delicious!

I bought a bottle of this wine because it was the best tasting at a local liquor store. It is slightly effervescent and has a strong sweetness that is very elegant and spreads in the mouth, leaving a light bitterness after drinking. It was so sweet that I wondered if it was a daiginjo. It is so sweet that it makes you wonder if it is not a daiginjo. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or a pre-bedtime drink. It is recommended for those who like sweet sake. I can enjoy both sweet and spicy tastes, so I brought it to an outdoor festival and enjoyed a glass on the lawn with a charbroiled steak, or at home with a light snack before going to bed. I bought a bottle and it was empty in less than 2 weeks.

After beer at a farewell party at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar). I did not expect much, but the fruity flavor and the delicious taste of rice can be felt gradually as you drink. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with food. I finished two 300ml bottles with conversation and chicken dishes.

I had no hesitation in purchasing this sake, which is brewed by Nishi Shuzo, famous for its sweet potato shochu Tominohouzan. It is very easy to drink, with a light acidity followed by a sweet fruit juice-like flavor. It has a strong shochu image, so I expected it to be spicy, but was pleasantly surprised. It is a junmai ginjo, but it is so fruity and sweet that you would not know it was a daiginjo. It is a junmai ginjo, but it is so fruity and sweet that you cannot tell it is a daiginjo.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. There was also Junmai Daiginjo on the line, but I couldn't get my hands on it. By the way, I bought it at Shimadaya in Utsunomiya.

Purchased a bottle at a neighborhood tasting. Because it was an active unpasteurized sake, it could not be tipped on its side and could not be stored in the refrigerator, but since it was the season, I kept it in the bottle at my front door. I divided it into 4-gou bottles and kept it in the fridge. Since it is nigori sake, it was well separated into the supernatant and the lees portion when it was divided into smaller bottles. The supernatant part was cooled down to a light effervescence. It gives the impression of being sweet with low acidity. The lees portion is thick and viscous, but it has a strong sweetness and a strong umami flavor, and in addition, the impression is of a high alcohol content. It can be enjoyed in various ways, such as by mixing the supernatant and the lees in moderation. I heard that the lees part tastes great hot, so I will give it a try at the end.

It was one of the recommended bottles at a local liquor store, so I bought it for the first time. It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness in the mouth. It is not too sweet and does not leave a bitter aftertaste, so it goes well with a meal or a light entrée. It is a delicious sake that I would like to drink on a daily basis. It is a good sake to drink with oysters, but unfortunately it was not possible due to our budget. Looking at the map of Japan, it was the first flag in Hiroshima. It makes me want to conquer Japan!

I found an Oita brand Chiebijin and bought it. It was one of the brands I was looking for since the Kyushu region is almost blank on the Sake-no-wa map. The label said it was a junmai sake brewed with white wine yeast and to be enjoyed with oysters, but raw oysters are difficult to prepare for dinner at home, so I served it cold with grilled mushrooms and chicken. The wine has a grape aroma and sweetness, but also a strong acidity reminiscent of white wine. I can imagine that it would be delicious with raw oysters. It was not bad with simple grilled mushrooms and chicken. I finished a four-pack bottle during my vacation.

Hi Maddy 😃 Congratulations on your Oita burial in Chiebijin㊗️ 🎉In fact, our first Oita sake 🍶 was also here, and at that time we combined oysters we bought at the supermarket and roasted them in butter on a hot plate 😋.

マディ
Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby! Oysters with butter sounds good - definitely goes well with this sake. I've always had the image that Kyushu = shochu, but sake is pretty good too!

I bought a repeat bottle of Gozenshu's Bodaihashiro nigori sake at a liquor store near my parents' house. The first few glasses were served cold. It has a light effervescence on the palate with a yogurt-like sweetness and a strong sourness that lingers in the mouth for a while. I sipped it with a glass of dark liver stewed in wine, and it went very well with the wine. I was told by the waiter that it tastes great hot, so I had it hot or warmed. I enjoyed the flavor and aroma, but my wife thought it was too much alcohol. We concluded that we prefer it cold.

I bought Sawaya Matsumoto Moriboshi, which I had not had in a while, because it was on sale at a relatively inexpensive price. After Karakuchikid and Ona, which were relatively dry, I chose a slightly sweeter sake following Ryujin. It has a slightly effervescent and fresh mouthfeel, with a foamy stimulus, sweetness and acidity, followed by a strong bitterness to finish it off. I drank a glass while grilling shiitake mushrooms, and another while eating them after grilling, and I couldn't stop drinking both the sake and the chopsticks. I love the versatility of this sake, which can be used as either an aperitif or an in-between-dinner drink.

I bought Ryujin as a Gunma sake that I have yet to explore at Sakegawa. It is the first Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake I have had in a while. The aroma is apple-like, and the mouthfeel is fruity and sweet. The sweetness of the rice spreads on the palate. It does not have a sharpness, but the sweetness and umami taste leaves a happy feeling in the mouth. It is better to drink with light dishes before or after a meal than during a meal. After dinner, we enjoyed it with grilled leeks.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. Unfortunately, they were not Shimonita leeks, but still the core was hot and tender and delicious when grilled until it was charred!

I chose Kido's Junmai Ginjo Dry. Kido is generally reasonably priced and easy on the pocketbook. The fruity flavor is usually less pronounced than Kido's, but the sweetness and umami spread to the palate. The acidity and bitterness are mild for a dry sake. It has a sharp taste after swallowing, and you will never get tired of it. We served it with spring rolls and sashimi, both of which matched well with it, and both the food and the sake went well together.

I was on a business trip to Tochigi and unusually left early, so I had a glass of Tochigi Ona at a gyoza (dumpling) restaurant where there is always a long line. I always buy only Shichimizu or Senkou in four-pack bottles on my business trips to Tochigi, so I was curious about this brand. The first Ona is a very dry sake, as if it was made using the traditional sake brewing method. It has a light sweetness and a strong acidity, and I think it goes well with sweet and fleshy gyoza (dumplings). We enjoyed it with pak choi dumplings and grilled lamb skewers.

Jay & Nobby, thanks for your comments. You guessed it, it's that restaurant at the train station that is always crowded. The meat is more filling and tastier than regular dumplings. Beer is good, but it also goes well with dry sake.

As I was about to run out of sake stock at home, I bought an unfiltered draft of Nanada at a nearby liquor store. Nanada is known for its low-polished rice, but this time I chose Omachi Nishiki 50. When I opened the bottle, it was gassy and I could taste the expected fruity aroma, sweetness, acidity, and slightly carbonated tanginess, but it seemed to have less flavor. It was a bit gassy when opened. I drank it after dinner without any accompaniment, and before I knew it, 3 gou of it was gone. I will enjoy the taste change in a few days with the remaining 1 gouge.

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.

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.
