◎. Crisp and dry. It is not bad when heated, but it is best served cold. The balance of aroma and acidity is perfect.

A little more acidic. Slightly more acidic. It's easy to drink cold, but it's even better when heated. The writing on the label is impressive, and I was curious about it.

Good quality Round and fragrant. I started drinking it by myself, but now I want to share it with someone. I think I'll take it to my parents' house this weekend and drink it with my dad. The liquor store I usually go to has a pop-up saying that the quantity is limited, so I'll have to switch to another liquor this week and be careful not to finish it.

Good fragrance. Good aroma. Strong acidity. The recommendation is to drink it cold, but it's fine at room temperature. It can also be served warm, but I personally feel it's a shame to heat up Ginjo-shu, so I rarely do.

◎. The flavor and acidity are exquisite! It goes in smoothly and the smell is very nice! As I continued to drink it, I thought I might like it a little less acidic, but that might be because I was drunk. I'll try it again tomorrow.

Little Olaf
◎. This may be the first Junmai Daiginjo from Takeyu. It is said to be umami-dry, and that is exactly what it is. I thought umami and sweetness were close to each other, but the umami that comes first and the dryness that lingers later certainly coexist. This is my favorite type.

The price is less than 1000 yen for a bottle. Surprisingly, the price is less than ¥1000 for a bottle. Is it packaged sake? The taste is moderate, but it's not bad. I'd avoid drinking it for the first time, but after getting drunk, this might be a good choice. However, I have a feeling that it might be left for tomorrow. I don't think I'll be repeating this.

I'm sorry. At first I had it chilled. I tried heating it up next, thinking it would be too acidic, but I felt it would intensify the bitterness kind of thing, so I would recommend chilling it. I would recommend chilling it. But I like dry sake more than plain sake, so I didn't like it. That was my honest opinion.

Good quality Sweet taste. It has acidity. This is the type of sake I like these days. The price of less than 1,000 yen for a four-pack is also highly evaluated!

◎. Drank it at the store and got hooked! Will try to buy some in person later! Memo memo so I don't forget. 3 grains 火入れる 愛山 Quite sweet. Aroma is like a banana. The acidity is little and easy to drink.

○ ○ It is rather sweet. The aroma is good, but it's not edgy and easy to drink. However, after about the third glass, I had the impression that it was lacking something. I switched to another sake. It is recommended for the first drink.

Little Olaf
Astringent? Elegant acidity and a slight bitterness, or is it astringency? It has a fruity aroma that comes through later. I heard that my parents got it from someone at home, but my mother didn't like it so much, and she told me to drink it. No, it's just plain delicious. I'll take it without reservation!

I bought it because someone recommended it to me. This was recommended to me by someone. It's like a honjozo. I'll be drinking it with a heated sake bottle I got recently! It's dry and easy to drink, but I have a feeling it will be around tomorrow.

○ ○ Clear mouthfeel. I feel something like a little bitterness in the aftertaste. It is not unpleasant at all, and there is a sweetness afterwards. Is "Kame-no-o" a sake rice? It is said to be one of the three major varieties in Japan. I'm sorry for my ignorance.

'good work' (equiv. of silver star awarded to children at school) Smell is good. It spreads softly. I like it. It is sweet and sour. It has a name and makes you feel spring.
