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.

Purchased at a local liquor store. I did not expect to find an authorized Kuroryu distributor near my house. I had a taste of this sake once before at an izakaya and thought it was very good. I had the impression that it was a food sake with low acidity and a good taste of rice. I drank it with chicken liver stewed in wine and never got tired of the taste. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness. It is a good balance of sweetness, umami, sourness and bitterness. It would be delicious with fish sashimi.

I refrigerated it for about a week and served it cold. The rice flavor is definitely stronger than immediately after opening the package, and it can be enjoyed with any entrée. It has a mellowed taste and is a good complement to any other food item. If you want to taste the deliciousness of rice, it would be better to drink it after letting it sit for a little while after opening the package. 241208The photo was wrong, so it was replaced.

It was refrigerated for a week and served cold. The acidity became stronger and the sweetness at the time of opening became weaker. It was a little disappointing because the balance at the time of opening was exquisite and to my liking. I kept it in the refrigerator, but it may have been oxidized. However, it goes well with food and is delicious in its own way.

I served the nigori sake cold after letting it sit for two weeks. It was worth the wait, and the lees part became very juicy and rich, making it extremely delicious. It has a strong acidity and sweetness, and was delicious on its own without any accompaniments. It has a strong flavor, but it goes well with everything. I think I will repeat it.

It was the first time I entered a liquor store in my neighborhood, but I was told that they carried a four-pack of Senkou, so I bought a bottle of Modern, which I had never had before. Immediately after opening the bottle, it was pleasant on the palate with a rummy aroma and slight carbonation. Personally, the balance of sweetness and sourness was more to my liking than the classic, and I enjoyed it without the entrée. I chose Yamadanishiki this time, but the store also had Kame-no-o and Omachi, so I plan to try them next time.

Cold for a week after opening the bottle. I thought it would go well with hot sake, but when I first tried it cold, the rice flavor became stronger than the acidity, giving it a well-balanced taste. I enjoyed it cold with nabe, and before I knew it, the bottle was empty.

Cold for a week after opening. We were lavished with the lees. It is very sweet and sour, concentrated, and can be guzzled by itself. It is very assertive, so it goes well with meat dishes with a strong flavor, and the Yamato simmered whale meat as a side dish was gone in no time. It is reasonably priced, so it is a good idea to have a bottle of this kind of unique sake on hand.

Purchased two weeks ago at a local liquor store. It was my first time to drink a brand from Iwate Prefecture, but I drank it expecting it to be dry like Tohoku, and it was as dry as I expected. It was served cold, but it had a pleasant light acidity, umami, and a soft, slightly sweet flavor. I paired it with a nabe (hot pot), and it was a perfect sake for a meal, and went very well with it. I still have some left, so I plan to try warming it up or even heating it up.

Purchased at Utsunomiya station on the way home from a business trip. It has been a long time since I have had Nanamizu. I chose the special junmai Yume Sarara, which is based on the concept of pairing with food. The past Shichimizu had a strong image of sweetness, but this one had a slightly dry taste with strong acidity and umami, and was served cold with a nabe (hot pot). It was served cold with nabe (hot pot). It was a great match and both food and sake went well together. Since it is more on the dry side, it would also be delicious warmed or heated.

Hi Maddie 😃 Oh! I didn't know you were in Utsunomiya again 🤗. I'm sure you'll want to master the wide range of delicious shichisui from sweet to spicy 😋 Heated sake is good too 😚.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby. It was a little dry, but a week after opening the bottle, the flavor changed again, with more umami than acidity, and it tasted twice as good. Either way, it is delicious!

I found it at a liquor store near my parents' house, bought it and had it cold. It has been a long time since I have had nigori sake. It is made with Bodai yeast, which is the oldest yeast in Japan, and I thought it would have a strong sour taste, but it was more fruity, sweet, and refreshing than I expected. The grilled gizzard with leeks and salt was the perfect accompaniment to the nigori sake, and I gobbled it up. I left half of it and plan to enjoy the supernatant and lees part separately next week.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. It was very tasty, sweet and easy to drink! In the background is the Iwatani Aburi-ya 2, which allows you to grill your knob with a gas can. The seafood grill and sake go very well together. I recommend it!

Purchased at a supermarket for about 1200 yen, cold. Fruity and easy to drink impression. The mouthfeel is sweet and slightly acidic. It seems to go well both before and during meals. It is very cost-effective with an image that changes to dryness at the back of the throat. I recently purchased a portable refrigerator to keep my sake cold, and it is great to be able to stock up on 4.5 bottles so I can compare other brands.

Nanada Junmai Sake served cold. It is a standard line made with 20% Yamadanishiki and 80% Reihou. The Shichida Junmai is a slightly dry sake with less sweetness than the fruity and sweet Shichida sake we have had. We had it with gyoza (Chinese dumplings) as a side dish and found it to have a delicious taste of rice, while at the same time refreshing the oily taste, so both the sake and the side dish progressed well.

Senzuke Junmai Unfiltered Nama sake was served cold. The entrée was grilled sardines. It has a sweet and sour taste with the unique sourness and sweetness of white malted rice. It is best to drink with strong flavored dishes or as an aperitif. It was a perfect match for grilled sardine entrails and sake.

Participated in a brewery event hosted by a liquor store. Tasted at the second round of the Sekiya Shuzo booth, which is famous for Houraisen. Houraisen Junmai Daiginjo Sora We were served a Junmai Daiginjo Sora, which is hard to find in Aichi Prefecture. It had a luxurious taste with both sweetness and umami of rice. It is the kind of sake that you can drink without limit. The Ichinenfudo series is also delicious, but I prefer Houraisen Sora.

Tasting at a brewery event hosted by a liquor store. We tasted at the Harushika booth, which we had not known before. Ura-Harushika Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo Nama Shu (summer brewing) Ura-Harushika Mutenkiri Junmai Ginjyo Yamadanishiki Nama-Nihonjunshu Harushika Ginjo Super Dry The overall impression was a little dry and the flavor of the rice was brought out well. The summer-brewed sake was light and fruity, with not too much sweetness. The non-pressurized sake has more umami than sweetness, and is good as a food sake.

Tasting at a brewery event hosted by a liquor store. We tasted at the Daishinshu booth, where we had drunk before. Daishinshu hand-full Junmai Daiginjo Daishinshu Code-breaking Junmai-Ginjo Daishinshu Inamitsu Junmai Daiginjo I had a strong image of dryness in Daishinshu, but I found Teppai and Inamitsu to be very tasty with a stronger sweetness than I had expected as well as umami. The "Code-breaker" was drier than the others, and although it was served cold at the tasting, it might be better warmed up.
